You know when I was a Jehovah's Witness, I knew very little about the Bible because we spent most of our time studying Watchtower publications that seemed to have expiration dates of 10-15 years."Now that I study the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit, my knowledge and faith have grown tremendously over the past few years. And you know what? After over two thousand years, the Bible hasn't expired." You know, I still haven't found any scripture that states the Governing Body is the mediator between Christ and man or that the Governing Body's voice is equal to that of Christ.
Mines has too . Christ is the best!
Precisely!! 😏
Exactly.
7 years ago after studying with JW pioneers for nearly two years i realised i actually didn't know the bible. I told the women i wanted to go back to the beginning and just study the bible...the women dropped me immediately. By reading and studying the bible alone i came to Christ. I thank God he freed me from my childhood indoctrination 30 years after id left the org unbaptised.

It's Never too late . 😏👍
I was a Jehovah’s Witnesses for most of my life. I was too curious to be held in that cultish box. I read the Bible and only the Bible constantly. That’s when I knew it wasn’t the truth. Thankfully my wife and I figured this out and we left.
God bless and keep studying the scriptures
I can’t stand to listen to them anymore,the lies and deceit are disgusting..please keep your work up, l love your ministry? After 50 years l hear the ring of truth in your voice. Thank you!
Thank you so much.
The JW organisation as a whole, is so invested in their own system that NO MATTER what the GB says or does, no matter how illogical it may sound, the JW's will always accept the word of the GB ( who admit are not inspired)
I haven't left truthful God, I've left the controlling, lying Watch Tower...video nicely done, Thank You!!!
Here is simple script that I would have like to asked those Elders of Governing Body members in this video : 1Th 5:21 Prove all things. JWs say they have the "Truth", prove it, they say they apostates and news reports are false , prove it.
Being out of the org. for over 3 years after 40 years in, I can still see why I believed it. Clever propaganda tools to keep the rank and file in line. It takes a spiritual miracle to escape yet be saved by God and Christ. This is what I pray for my brothers and sisters stuck in Babylon the Great.(Rev.18:4)
Wow! What a narrow minded thinking! Must one know or trust a writer of a book before reading his book? You read the contents FIRST! Then the contents tell if the writer is right or wrong. I've personally bought and read those books and knew JW organisation had been lying to me for the past 38 years, then i left their falsehood! Thanks Eric for this video.
Yes. Agreed. I wonder if they were hinting at the book, "Crisis of Conscience" by former governing body member Ray Franz. Likely. As a former bethelite who served in Brooklyn with Ray Franz I could testify to the accuracy and veracity of his accounts and the names of brothers involved who unscripturally harassed him, persecuted him, and made false accusations of him. NEVER IN THAT STORY DID HE RENOUCE HIS FAITH AND TRUST IN JEHOVAH GOD OR JESUS CHRIST. He, like so many of us, was increasingly dismayed at the propagation of man-made rules and policies taking precedence over Bible truth. He NEVER RENOUNCED HI LOVE OF GOD' WORD THE BIBLE EITHER! Clearly, he was NOT an apostate, but expelled by the personal opinions and consciences of other men; just as I was in my case. BUT WITHOUT READING THE BOOK, I COULD NEVER DRAW THAT CONCLUSION!
4.23 min mark....a bad report does not automatically make it a false report...but thats what the org wants members to believe.
Keep being the 'stone in the shoe' of watchtower, Eric.
The Very Arrogance 🧐

Brother Eric . 😌👌
I haven’t left Jehovah God either , thanks family for calling me a blasphemer and apostate because I refuse to get baptized in a deceptive organization that claims the pure Holy Spirit guides them into lies and man made doctrines blended with God doctrine which will never be good . Only God is good . My religion is holiness in fact my spirituality is holiness . And I am The Lords witness
There is deception in the name jehovah. He, along with Yahweh, chose the Jews. As you know, the true God is not partial, so would never have chosen one race above another. Find God in Genesis, 1:27 where God made male & female at the same time, and He made all things💜
@@Des7iny7 umm this reply is way off topic . God of the Bible is the Highest too me. And The names found in it no other can compete and I know this from life in general . So yeah…. Biggup the Holy Bible ❤️❤️🔥🎁👑🕊️ 🦁 🐑 🍷 🥖 💡 ⚡️ and I see deception quite easily with Being in Christ . I love it ! For he has revealed things too me before they happen and it happens some for the bad some for the good, but my God lets me know before hand. I am truly blessed .and I’m in love with the Sovereign Lord, since a child he has Ben there it’s wonderful!
👏👏👏
I don't even believe that this pioneer really exists. They love to invent pioneers, brothers from certain country, etc. All what they do and say is a performance. They're absolutely false in every single word they say.
Yeah I get the feeling these “examples” are just made up most of/all the time
I was thinking about that too! It's funny how they ALWAYS have an "example" to fit their narratives!
Probably, the example I don't know of anyone (even ignorant) individuals who would just walk into someone's house without knocking on the door.
Ridiculous try again WT
I feel the same. The minute I heard it, I said to myself, this is a story to convince us that the gb is being put in a bad light. You know I would have remained oblivious if an early 2023 broadcast had not warned us that news reports were going to come out that were false. Because of that I started investigating. All you need is Australian royal commission.
@@thetruthk5138 Were they driving around the neighbourhood in a surveillance van listening for a (free) bible study? and then sprung into action by barging in with a copy of Crisis of Conscience?!! As if!
Another Amazing video Eric!! You are able to blow the lid right off the bare faced lies and deceit with such ease.
It never ceases to amaze me how these speakers trip themselves up. Yet these ones think and believe they are the intelligentsia of this organisation.
I can't believe I bought this drivel for 35 years .
Awesome work. Thanks so much Eric 🙏 can't wait for the next video 😀 The Canadian branch must be fuming every time they watch your videos. I believe they do watch them !!!
Again Eric thank you for all your research and vidéo i have faith that in a near future it will collapse they are losing a lot of people, i
found my savior our Lord Jesus Christ regards from Montreal Caroline
I cant help but think of 'dupers delight' when I see Seth's little 'smirks' after *many* of his statements (e g 5:17 ) Then theres the hand gesture of the main speaker, 'steepling'? 1:54
His body language shows he knows its all a lie and he enjoys the power his deception grants him.
Thanks also for your time in putting this video together. You are spot on in so many different ways about Watchtower's lies and hypocrisy. You and people like you helped my family and others leave that cult. My head still spins dizzy at the deceiving that I believed for 18 years.
Not to sound harsh, but be very happy it was only 18 years. It's a very short time compared to eternity. Ex fellow JW talking. My bible study teacher was the mother of Mark Sanderson.
I was born in and only woke up four years ago as a senior citizen. It's good to wake up at any age. :)
@@vintage6346 I went in at 21 now out at 59! Never too late what an absolute relief! It’s mind blowing hearing these men now! Great to be fully awake to their deception.
@@vintage6346I am 51 and only woke up 18 months ago although I was DF for many years , I got back in then woke up. What a rollercoaster
@CelticGypsy-USA
I didn't get a youtube notification of your comment, so I just now found it. I've thought about those who have been df'd. I think that "trauma bonding" causes those df'd to try to get back "in". Good for you for waking up. Get your dignity back. :)
I used to say that 'I never left Jehovah, I just began to study other bibles on my own". I soon learned that I was not on my own at all! Yes, I was marked as apostate, but now I know my Mediator, my Saviour, the King of the kingdom and I have put on the armour of God to stand with all who have come to worship the Father and Son; and I love it when I'm challenged for my faith.
Even studying their own Bible on my own, I slowly started to see some cracks…
Thank you very much for your research and work. Greetings from Germany
The announcement made in the hall of " so n so is no longer a jehovahs witness" whether disassociated or disfellowshipped encourages members to 'assume' a gross sin has occurred and therefore their shunning is appropriate ....pure deception and disgusting.
It’s crazy how the Announcement is made and automatically like robots everything just shuns you just like that. Years of friendships just die after those few words are uttered
@@benz8421 yes extreme cruelty in my opinion.
Exactly ,you and jws are best friends today ,Tomorrow they shun you on the word of three elders ,and they dont know anything about the situation,,RINGS CULT!!!!
They’re terrified of those books and the wonderful man that wrote them, every JW needs to read Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom.
Lord continue to bless and care for this faithful disciple of yours. We love this brother ❤
Thank you for the discourse on critical thinking. We should examine the scriptures &compare them to what the religion says. Thank you so much for your love&compassion for the real truths of the Bible
His constant smirking is killing me! The errors which he repeats have caused the deaths of so many innocents according to the recent judicial court decisions. Christ's sheep know His voice and are now fleeing this human "organization". "The Harlot" is being exposed and her waters are drying up. Rev 17. SMIRK: To smile in an annoying self-satisfied manner. To smile in an affected or conceited manner; to smile with affected complaisance. Well done my brother Eric!
"dupers delight"😳 bill gates also has it constantly!!
@mamajan99 You have echoed my thoughts about his self-satisfied smirk.
Thank you, Eric. I hate to be such a skeptic, but I wonder if Seth’s entire story is really just that. A made up story. A falsehood, a lie. It just sounds so contrived.
That was my very first thought too. They often make up scenarios and try to peddle them as true. I really do believe many higher up in this false religion know its all bs and get joy in deception and the power it grants them. Narcissists and sociopaths always seek prominent positions. And they have neither empathy or morality just like those in the governing body.
All of their "stories" and "Questions from Readers" are fictitiously made up by the writing department.
It’s simply Malice in Blunderland.
That story Seth stated was probably contrived just like they used to contrive “questions from readers.”
Good point
His expressions speak 'contrived'.
@@bourbon_sketcher the governing modern day Pharisees body and their “helpers” are all wicked evil Deceivers. Sons of Satan.
I watched the Broadcasting this month. When this talk came up, i tuned out and started scrolling on my tablet. I knew what it was hitting for: a bunch of nonsense saying nothing negative ever said about JW's is true and is from the Devil.
If I never have anything to do with the JWs they will NEVER be able to control me.
Hmm. Sounds like the ‘governing body’ might be worried.🤔
Eve was deceived, just like Jehovah’s Witnesses.
If only the elders would read such books and and with truth and honesty address the issues properly with the congregation maybe then the church can grow in truth and become real followers of Jehovah

Much appreciated Eric
The Bible study scenario and Seth Hyatts reasoning is completely flawed. When the bible students friend asked her to read the book, the Bible student asked ;
“Do you know the person who wrote that book”
The flaw is , neither does the Bible student know the people who wrote the book she is studying with the sister . Neither does the sister taking the study either .
Has either of them ever met the WT publishers of the book they are studying together ?. No..
Will they ever meet them ? Probably not .
What do they know about them personally . Very little
Excellent reasoning and questions.
Exactly! And if the Bible student had half a brain and was taught to think critically, she would have said, "uh no, but how could I come to know the author if I don't even read the book?"
What is truth? This question is one which every sincere Christian should ask and seek to answer.
We should learn to love and value
truth for its own sake; to respect and honor it by owning and acknowledging it wherever we find it and by whomsoever presented. A truth presented by Satan himself is just as true as a truth stated by God.
Oddly enough, that paragraph is from a Watchtower dated 1879.
Would love to see how they would answer questions about that reference.
Great video Eric!
Truth is Jesus, He is the truth and the way and Life, which was Hidden for long time to our forefathers.
Nothing Else is truth.
@@BibliaStory4U Dont forget ,John 17:17
very good layout of an analysis that we share, Éric.
How can they say they are telling the truth when they extrapolate the words of Christ and no longer themselves believe what they have taught to be the truth?
WT May 2024
Should we view the account of the Flood as a prophetic type? The answer is no. Why? Because there is no direct Scriptural support for doing so... nor did he say that the closing of the door of the ark had any prophetic significance.
This did not stop them from condemning people in advance when the judgment belongs to Christ.
This sick and twisted org. must hate the internet when they get exposed
@user-vs3qw5ef4z this is the reason the Mormons are allowed to watch tv ,Internet, read newspapers or books other than that printed by the religion and no listening to the radio ,they don't want you to know the truth
Very slick presentation Eric. Congrats to all the team that support you!
Much appreciated!
Like always very well presented and very educational and helpful.
Glad you like them!
12:00
Even he has a hard time believing that..
Witnesses repeat and repeat and repeat so much it eventually becomes their distorted truth and distorted reality...
Modern day pharisees
I do know that when the GB makes a change then changes back, that they are not being led by Jehovah. I enjoyed your video!
He said they loving telling the truth about God, but what about telling the truth about their organization!
It's a cult, nothing more than that.
I was trying to figure out why the JWs preaching is so bothersome. I just realised, it's almost like he's hissing.
As long as the GB use the keyword "Jehovah" the can say and do whatever they like and none of the rank and file will ever doubt them. Why, who would be so foolish as to use God's name in vain, cover up lies and fabrications? Oh, may Jehovah have mercy on these wretched souls...!!!😢
Thank You 🤲
As I’ve said before, if the watchtower/Jehovah’s Witnesses organization is thee one and only true religion….then why are they worried about what anyone says period. Shouldn’t they be busy and totally happy with declaring their “truth”?
Get a JW to use the watchtower published "Kingdom Interlinear" for meetings. They will have questions.
Awesome video!! Jws are done
"The wise do not accept a statement merely on authority." This proverb states that wise people maintain healthy skepticism and do not take things as fact purely due to the authority of the source. Even trusted individuals may make inaccurate statements.
CULT!!!!!
As always well reasoned, thankyou Eric.
I don’t listen to JW broadcasting anymore but I can imagine that between them and the midweek meeting the org. has to spend quite a bit of time deflecting against so called apostates because so many are leaving the org.
This constant reference by the Watchtower to excusing disfellowshipping on the basis of "keeping the congregation clean", is such a subtle mind trap, that those who have never experienced a real case involving someone who had slipped and made a mistake have no idea that this is twisting of scripture and truth. (Either those who were judged by a judicial committee or elders who have served on judicial committees)
Most of the so-called "sins" that elders DF someone for, are personal and only affected the person himself. That person doesn't or didn't go around in the congregation blabbing that what he did should be accepted by everyone else! He doesn't go around with a picket sign in his hand reading, "Lie! Steal! Commit fornication! Murder! Slander!, Revile your neighbor! Get drunk often! Exercise your Christian freedom and smoke pot and cigarettes! "...........etc.
So it imputes this mindset of hatred and animosity toward the shunned person as if talking to him would corrupt us and cause a serious disease in us of some sort! "Oh, don't talk to him or her! He/she's unclean ! ..as if they had leprosy or something!
These people are SICK!!! Revelations 18:1-2
People who we don't know?! As of we PERSONALLY know THEM😂😂😂
Truth. Great video ❤️🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
You make some very great videos
Thank you very much!
They are soo desparate to keep people in but the more they try to cover their wickedness the more they are exposed,may this organisation fall so people can be free and come to Christ the only way to the Father.
Lately, JWs have started coming to my house. I do have their best interests at heart, little though they may know it.
jehovahs witnesses do not worship the Creator. They worship the god of Cognitive Dissonance.
It's like he is about to hurl, at the end of his sentences, 🤮 you are spot on, real yesterday so unreal!!!
Or dupers delight?
He has some horse DNA.
Great job on reasoning, brother Wilson! I want to vomit after every other sentence that spews out of the mouth of these deceivers and modern day pharisees! They always say, "just ignore it, or don't read their books or pamphlets,". Yet their own self assuming books and literature shouldn't be put to the same test?
Romans 12: 2,.."prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
Acts 17: 11,...." examining the scriptures daily (not the Watchtower magazine, not the video talks from someone else) to see if these things were so." Your THEME TEXT!
Ephesians 5 : 10,..."Keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord."
1 Thess. 5: 21,..."Make sure of all things, (or "prove all things", other translations).....hold fast to what is fine."
In the summer online convention of 2021, Jehovah’s Witness governing body member David Splaine gave a very desperate talk about apostasy. In it he said: “that we should not even so much as listen to anyone who says anything that is not from the scriptures, or is not part of the healthful teaching that Jehovah’s Witnesses believe.”
In John 6, Christ Himself says something so disgusting to His Jewish audience, that the people said His speech was shocking. These are His disciples, and many leave off following Him. JW’s are taught that those who disagree with this healthful teaching are apostates. The governing body of JW's don't seem to understand the difference between apostasy and heresy. In his talk, David Splaine says that the moment we realise that what a person says is not what we have been taught or not in the bible, then we should get away from them immediately. But Peter tells Jesus upon His asking that He will not leave following Him. JW's today would not listen to anyone who said that we should eat flesh or drink blood, so, had we lived back then and obeyed the GB, we no doubt would have left off following Jesus as well! Therefore, we must listen to what a person says, and hear them out. Ask questions of them. They may have a point. We will only know if they are speaking truth if we hear their words, and compare what they say with the Holy Scriptures. Jesus listened three times to the greatest apostate in history! He didn’t tell the devil to go away after the first temptation either. Paul wrote that not even angels can separate us from God. So if JW's are the only ones that possess the truth, what are the GB so afraid of?
Another honest truthful video Eric
Guilty conscience, whiners, with Zero proof for any claims! Blinders for sure.
Excellent analysis
I love Bible translations so was given a NWT. I was shocked to see in the Appendix where they said they revised the 2011 translation to be gender neutral. I was alway told they had a very “conservative” mindset. This is along the lines of NIV. I know this is off subject but I’d love a video on this.
Brother Eric, are you acquainted about the WT 10 years plan to avoid its imminent fall down? They're consulting marketing enterprises to help them out.
Big changes are coming, no more shunning, no more blood transfusions prohibited, it would be a jubilee and all disfellowshipped will be admitted back, etc. Have you heard or watched something about it? I'd wish to be true!
I haven't heard evidence to confirm the rumour flying around.
This is very concerning, or at least should be, for the rank and file of the org. Name calling, lying about others, all for what? Damage control? It's sad indeed. Hopefully we here will all stay above reproach and not be doing the very things we are being accused of.
" You shall not jugde a man by the cover of his book " - Anthony. Read it.
😂 Thanks Brother Eric. You did a fantastic job with this video. I had some laughs too...
Glad you enjoyed it
Representative lie blown out the water. How many more additions to the holy text are there I wonder.
💯💪🔥❤🙏
Ever notice how many times the JWs use the words “We know…”? It tends to have a hypnotic effect on the credulous.
What I hear is "We, NO! Christ, YES!"

12 Dans le même temps, montrez clairement à l’étudiant que quiconque enseigne la Bible à autrui doit vivre en harmonie avec les principes de celle-ci (Rom. 2:21-24). Vous pouvez le lui expliquer peu après qu’il a commencé à étudier les Écritures avec vous. Supposons que vous veniez de considérer les textes bibliques indiqués dans le chapitre ***“Pourquoi il serait prudent de votre part d’examiner votre religion”*** dans le livre La vérité qui conduit à la vie éternelle. Après avoir révisé avec l’étudiant les pensées de l’étude, vous pouvez soulever ces questions : “Si nous nous faisons connaître comme serviteurs de Dieu, quel genre de conduite doit être la nôtre ? Quelles sont quelques-unes des choses qui se pratiquent même parmi les membres des Églises, mais que les vrais chrétiens doivent rejeter ?”
Adam wad right there beside Eve when she was deceived but JW's rewrote Genesis 3:6
"So,when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate."
JW's New World Translation says
"Consequently, the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was something desirable to the eyes, yes, the tree was pleasing to look at. So she began taking of its fruit and eating it.+ Afterward, she also gave some to her husband when he was with her, and he began eating it.+ 7
Do you see how Watchtower so eloquently removed Adam from the scene of the crime and put the blame on the woman ? Adam was not in some remote part of the garden when Eve gave him the forbidden fruit and he had no idea what he was doing.......
This is the basis for their misogyny 🙏🏾❤️
The tower continues to age like milk
Why does 'Hyett' voice sound like hes laughing under his breath?
They definitely employ psychologists and NLP body language experts.
NLP...please supply the actual words 🙏
Neuro linguistic programming
All the Harlots use the same tactics, “ they are the only ones who has the truth…” But, we know that the only one truthful is Jesus and Jesus is not dead to us, as they behave; because in the eyes of their members, it is them the ones to be obey not Jehovah not Jesus and for that reason, they are deceivers, liars; they self appointed themselves to take the place of Jesus and Jehovah. Jesus warned his sheep from these deceivers. Matthew 23:8,15
SUPER CONSEILS *** tr chap. 2 p. 13 § 5 2 Pourquoi il serait prudent de votre part d’examiner votre religion *
5 Il nous faut analyser, non seulement nos croyances personnelles, mais encore les enseignements de l’Église dont nous sommes éventuellement membres. Ses doctrines sont-elles en plein accord avec la Parole de Dieu, ou ont-elles pour fondement les traditions des hommes ? Si nous sommes amis de la vérité, nous ne devons pas craindre d’examiner ainsi notre religion. Le désir sincère de chacun de nous devrait être d’apprendre quelle est la volonté de Dieu à notre égard, puis de l’accomplir. - Jean 8: 32****.
The narrative is so obvious and yet many will still try to defend it...
Wow. Just blame the women.
Thank you Eric for this very educational talk !
This cult just never stops with their bs.smh..
And WE Sheep chose to believe Watchtower lies just like Eve!
This should cause Jehovah’s Witnesses to find out who he’s talking about and what the book is, and read it.
23:39 Made me laugh out loud - but sadly oh so true!!👍👍
❣❣❣
God gave man free will but the GB thinks opposite of this.
It makes me sad because this man was one of the few people that actually seem to give a hoot about anyone else and his wife is lovely. I keep praying for Seth and Abby to wake up. But with that vow of poverty and all of the vaccine injuries, they have no place to go.
Jeremiah 17:5; Proverbs 3:5-6; Psalm 28:7; Isaiah 26:4; Psalm 118:8; Psalm 146:3-7 [so far I haven't found any exceptions, as in the case with an organization or men therein - and the gov. body of JWs REALLY stress putting one's trust in THEM].
Now it's time for a new journey toward truth. What other lies have you been told? Is the Abrahamic creation story just a riff on older stories? Maybe there is no truth there at all.
Citations à considérer : ** w12 15/10 p. 15 § 13 Quel genre d’esprit manifestez-vous ? **13 Est-ce à dire qu’il est malvenu de signaler que quelque chose dans la congrégation mérite selon nous d’être rectifié ? Non.**
En vertu de l’article n°36 -2022, récent de « la tour de garde » : *** w22 août p. 30 § 18 Les serviteurs de Jéhovah aiment la justice ***
18 Troisièmement, laisse Jéhovah juger les autres. Tandis que nous nous efforçons de respecter les normes de justice de Jéhovah, nous devons veiller à ne pas juger les autres et à ne pas nous croire plus justes qu’eux. Nous n’avons pas le droit de les mépriser et de les juger selon nos propres normes. Rappelons-nous que c’est Jéhovah le « Juge de toute la terre » Genèse 18:25. Il ne nous a pas confié la responsabilité de juger les autres. Et d’ailleurs, Jésus nous a ordonné : « Arrêtez de juger, et vous ne serez pas jugés » Matthieu 7:1. ((Citation : « Ces choses, nous en parlons aussi, non pas avec des paroles qu’enseigne la sagesse humaine, mais avec celles qu’enseigne l’esprit » 1 Corinthiens 2:13)).
"Well, Eve certainly could have talked with her husband, and together they could have talked with Jehovah..." Can we talk with Jehovah today?
Hopefully at some point (if this was even true) the woman remembers the book when she’s perplexed 🤔 confused,
defeated, exhausted, disappointed….frustrated depressed on and on and on there’s very little positive mb some friends but it’s all conditional
Thank you 😊😊😊
You are so welcome
29:02 Thank you so much for your looking into the difference between prophet and representative Eric. The NWT really is a bad translation.....very deceptive.
It actually makes me want to be sick
I hear ya.

One of the main scriptual accounts used by the JW Ministry of Truth to justify their very clear ideological belief that you ABSOLUTELY cannot understand the bible yourself without outside help, is the simple account of the Ethiopian eunuch and Philip the evangaliser. Here the Ethiopian was driving his chariot on his way to Jerusalem whilst reading the book of Isaiah. The account says that an angel had directed Philip to be at a certain location so as to meet with the Ethiopian. When the two met, Philip asked the Ethiopian if he understood what he was reading to which the Ethiopian replied , no he did not and how could he do so unless he had a teacher (to explain). At that point Philip explained the Isaiah text in relation to Jesus whereupon the Ethiopian desired to be baptised as a Christian. In my career as a JW this account is perhaps one of the main justifications JWs use to say that you cannot understand scripture without the "help" of the "organisation" - namely the F&DSC which has recently been reduced from the original thousands to just the GB itself (which Eric Wilson points out was done quite clearly to avoid developing legal issues). Of course a thinking person would ask why an organisation with a very poor history of "interpretation" of prophecy would try to claim this. By and large, JWs are good honest, law abiding people and in general most do lead moral lives but a clinical examination of their (historical) claims of "truth" show them to have been wrong on many accounts. I'm not portraying them as outright liars or scammers seeking to fleece the flock for material riches (as many religions do), but they are laying in the bed of their own making- the constant revisionism when things dont turn out "as expected" and claiming this as "new light" etc surely just diminishes whatever credibility they might have had. I have always believed the organisation should simply keep quiet on prophetic matters and simply live the christian life as outlined in the Bible and help others to do so as well. I'm actually OK with the preaching work for those who WANT to do it , enjoy it and have the personality for it. But making it COMPULSORY and having to submit monthly reports (now finally abandoned) and also having an individual record "card" that follows you around wherever you go (behind the scenes of course) is anything but Christian living.
That account actually proves the opposite of what they claim, because right after the eunuch was baptized and received the holy spirit, it led Philip away, proving the truth of 1 John 2:26, 27:
I am writing these things to warn you about those who want to lead you astray. But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true-it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.
On waking up I realized we JWs had never read the Greek scriptures, as we had Genesis - Malachi. Of course we were to read at home and the later in the week the ORG would tell us what our assigned reading meant! I do not remember doing that with the Christian Greek scriptures? Since I have been reading these, I realize why? Oh we took a peak now and then if the talk was about the end of wickedness, we turned to Matthew Chapter 24 v 3 if the talk was to encourage obedience to the Faithful Slave we turned to Matt 24: 45-47 stop right there, don't read the next verses. When at the Memorial, we open our bible to Matt 26 v-26-28, not v 29 Luke v---, Mark v----. a couple verses in John Acts and Revelation. Our whole belief was built upon maybe 27 verses from the entire New Testament. If you keep reading the Gospel without Org guidance you can be in endangered to the point of praying to Our Heavenly Father Through our mediator Christ Jesus and receiving Holy Spirit. With tears running down your face and a smile you can not hold back you know you are in his Family. The Joy is amazing, Jesus our King, mediator and Savior will be with us if we ask your heavenly Father because Jesus was and is his plan! for Abraham's seed (little flock) all the way to us Gentiles (great crown of other sheep) not of that fold. Our Shepard brings us into One Fold, His Family! Please Read John, Acts and Galatians in many bibles (except NWT) and realize this is for all of US! I like the NIV New Testament.
Pray to our Heavenly Father as Jesus told you to, talk to him and his son. talk openly and ask him anything and everything you need to know, ask for Holy Spirit from them. When you do this w/o fear you will not be able to stop smiling! get to know your spiritual father OBEY HIM! not greedy men. I talk to them anytime I need to make decisions, and I am always directed toward Jesus words in the new Testament. Praying for you now. Sister Wasson
