Update #2...3...4 and other

…. For the agenda driven intellectually challenged people, what I have just recommended is only what the Bible specifically states.

Specific and direct instructions directly fromJesus Christ, on exactly how to run a Congregation.

…. specific and direct instructions from our King, Jesus Christ, on EXACTLY how to run a congregation.

Do we do that that way?

Not even close.

[Pudgy]

The lust for land, money power and real estate usurped the instructions of a man so poor, he didn’t even have a suitcase, and walked everywhere.

 

There is no record in the Bible of ANY Congregation ANYWHERE owning a building to meet in.

The responsibility, and the full responsibility, rests with GB. Why? Because they dared to control the conscience of other people. You mention free will. What is more important or necessary for correct behavior? Free will or free conscience?

Free will was enslaved by GB, because GB claims that man has a tendency to abuse free will. They enslaved the natural conscience because GB claims that the conscience is insufficient to make correct decisions and distinguish between good and evil. They also enslaved the so-called "Bible-trained conscience" because it was clearly expressed in the latest public address of the GB representative that only the GB is authorized to allow, limit and direct when and how the so-called "Bible-trained conscience" should be used by JW.

Bizarre GB politic.

What is the use of comparing the decisions and actions of "perfect" people, Jesus, Adam and Eve with "imperfect" people, here and now? lol

If you really believe that GB acrobatics are "Divine teachings" .., go on, continue. lol

Friday a week ago I had  heart surgery, and complicated it by refusing all blood or blood fractions. There was some bleeding, but not much. 

Matthew the 18th chapter tells Christians how to run a Congregation in Jesus’ absence.

in either case it “is a good hill to die on.”

Manny the Used Car Elder and Manny the Used Car Surgeon  BOTH need to be ignored.

Sometimes you die.

….. everybody does ANYWAY.

I am going to take a nap, and then polish my boots for the Memorial tomorrow night.

Please feel free to continue bickering about nothing.

It’s low calorie, and won’t make you …. *koff*  …. pudgy.

What you believe does not affect what I observe.

It only affects YOUR ability.

I wish you a quick and good recovery.

I won’t know for a year if it is a “permanent” repair that probably won’t clog up.
