1975
by general indo any you ever remember the elders admonishing you to change certain behaviors, attitudes, and actions that could be considered a consience matter if it was stumbling another brother or sister...they always quoted a scripture "he that stumbles the faith of another will perish in gehena" (i think it goes like that...) correct me if i am wrong.. so i have been reading crisis of conscience and i am at the part about the 1975 debacle...my question is if " jehovah is directing the faithful and discreet slave (eka governing body, wts, etc) why would he direct them into making a colossal blunder on when exactly armeggedon was coming, thereby stumbling the faith of those in god and driving them away from him?
" in essence, its almost as if jehovah allowed them to drive the flock away, which according to the wts he is so "desperate to protect" hence the need for disfellowshipping and such.
yes, it can be argued it was the act "of imperfect men" but don't you think jehovah would have given them a flash of "new light" to correct the fallacy in their reasoning before the disastorous ramfications that occurred in 1975?

the ceremony is family only so she will just be going to the dinner/dance.
