  Is Blind Obedience to group of men supported by Scripture?

  by nugget in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been pondering over the demands made by the governing body for absolute loyalty and unquestioning obedience to their interpretation of scripture.

  is this a reasonable request and is it in line with scripture?

  alternatively is there in fact a scriptural defence for taking personal responsibility for beliefs and having a questioning attitude when being told what is to be believed.. there are ample scriptural warnings about trusting in men psalm 146 v 3 warns us not to put our trust in nobles or earthly men and galatians 1 v 8 goes even further stating that even if an angel were to preach to us something contrary to the teachings of christ it should be ignored.

  Does The WTBTS Use Spies To Find The Rebellious?

  some people are outspoken critics of the society even while being part of it.

  they may do this because of their families or because they have doubts about their doubts.

  have you heard any examples of elders sending people forth to ferret out doubters and people who may spread discontent?

  they drink blood which he is against.. they are a nuisance and would be hell in paradise.

  they just seem to be pests with no beneficial or redeeming characteristics.

  no jw could give you a satisfactory answer to that.

  INTOLERANCE

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah made man a free agent, holding him responsible for his intelligent acts.

  jehovah never prevents man from expressing his mind.

  intolerance does not at all apply to jehovah and those who faithfully obey him.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/religious_abuse.

  religious abuse refers to any abuse that is administered under the guise of religion and can include psychological trauma, harassment or humiliation.

  http://jwsurvey.org/governing-body-2/new-light-watchtower-magazine-leaked-from-organization-weeks-ahead-of-general-release.

  if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.

  it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.
