The Watchtower society has admitted that the faithful and discreet slave or governing body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction. (The Watchtower February 2017 study edition pg 26 par 12 “Who Is Leading God’s People Today?”) This is not just a recent admission but it […]
In a recent morning worship broadcast, governing body helper Leonard Myers gave an example that illustrated the need for Christians to avoid showing misplaced compassion. However, I thought it odd that the example he chooses is from the Mosaic Law. This is a common practice of those on the teaching committee of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The […]
The aim of this article is to show primarily that scripturally Jesus words in Matthew chapter 18:15-17 cannot be used in support of the requirement that two eye witnesses are necessary in order to form a judicial committee to investigate allegations of the committing of a crime, in particular, child sexual abuse, in congregations of […]
