In this series, we are not going to do that. They had their own agenda and their own ideas, and like countless religions before them, they found ways to misinterpret and twist Bible terms and phrases so as to make it appear they were teaching God’s word.
They planted their own ideas into Scripture. They didn’t draw truth from the Scriptures. Trusting in men made me vulnerable to their reasoning. How did they do that? In part, because I was raised to trust those men. I’m a reasonably intelligent fellow, yet they had me duped for most of my life. But here’s the thing: Until I was in my sixties, I thought they had it right.
What’s more, we can prove it from Scripture. But if it is not true, if they have gone beyond what is written, then dear folks, there will be serious consequences. If that is true, they have nothing to fear from Jehovah God. Of course, Witness leaders contend that they are merely doing what God has told them to do in his Word, the Bible. It has brought reproach on the name of the very God Jehovah’s Witnesses claim to represent. The shunning policy of Jehovah’s Witnesses is widely criticized as a violation of human rights and freedom of worship. If you haven’t seen that video, I’ll put a link to it at the end of this video. I had to take a breather from writing this series to address the truly outrageous claim made in a Morning Worship video on JW.org that listening to the voice of the Governing Body is like listening to the voice of Jesus Christ that submitting to the Governing Body was tantamount to submitting to Jesus. This is now the second video in this series on the shunning policies and practices of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
