793. Apostate teachings and examples stop up true Christian conduct belonging to the Kingdom of God and misrepresent life-giving teachings leading to the real life: "For you yourselves do not go in, neither do you permit those on their way in to go in." (Matt 23:13). Such ones are
"always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of
truth."
(2 Tim 3:7). After receiving accurate knowledge of the
"Way of Holiness", the Way is to practice
it, showing true love to others. (Isaiah 35:8-10).
It certainly is not the wilful practices demonstrated
by members of the local congregation falsely calling themselves Jehovah's
Witnesses ● Disobedience
to the Lord's commandment of 1 Cor 14:34-37 and tolerating ● Appointing
unsealed and unqualified men by their
recommendation. (2
Cor 3:1) ● Enslaving others as men pleasers to serve them. (2 Peter 2:19). ● Ostracizing
brothers in the faith for their faithfulness ● Twisting
the meaning of the Word of God addressed to members of ● Prejudging
an anointed son of God and excommunicating him and his family ● Showing cowardice and being in fear of a brother under persecution. ● Falsely
claiming to have authority as a body of elders while belonging ● Malicious
gossiping against brothers in the faith, ● Meddling in other people's affairs. (1 Tim 5:13). ● Name calling and reviling. (1 Cor 5:11). ● Having no Christian unity among them. (Col 3:14).
Among
the local congregation of JWs all these examples of unchristian conduct exist
and overflow |

"These
things I write you about those who are trying to mislead you. And as for you,
the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need
anyone to be teaching you; but, as the anointing from him is teaching you about
all things, and is true and is no lie, and just as it has taught you, remain in
union with him. So now, little children, remain in union with him, that when he
is made manifest we may have freeness of speech and not be shamed away from him
at his presence. If you know that he is righteous, you gain the knowledge that
everyone who practices righteousness has been born from him."
(1 John 2:26 14/1/77. |
