I Attended the midweek meeting last night via Zoom. I knew by the title " Obeying Theocradic Arrangement", that I wasnt going to be encouraged. Well, they started off with the example of King David wanting to brink the Ark of the covenant into the temple because Saul had not taken good care of it. And that David wanted to change all of that. Well...anyway, because of his zeal, joy and excitement, him and his men had a big festaval and display dancing all the way to the temple with the ark in tow.
We all know the account. The ark was about to fall and one of Davids Men Uzzah (?) reached out his hand to prevent the ark from falling. Jehovah instantly dealt him a Death Smite. The reason for this is because David had not followed the arrangement and custom of inquiring of Jehovah to see how he felt about it.- Hard lesson learned for David.
The point that was made during the question answer session was, and I quote:
" The bible reading reminds us how its important to listen to the organization that Jehovah is using even if we dissagree or dont understand. Failure to heed the instructions from Jehovah's organization could possible cost us our life"
I damn near immediately disconnected from Zoom, I was so hot. But the next segment of the meeting was the importance of prayer and how Jehovah hears us, so that was a strong motivator in encouraging me suffer through the other nonsense. Its just all so funny. Even though we know whats going on and whats happeneing, Its still so very shocking to hear from the platform the advocation of idol worship.
As much as I understand whats taking place, It runs me hot every single time. The realization that this organization is really turning apostate is absolutely mind boggling. They've gone well beyond placing themselves in the seat of Moses...They've totally bypassed Jesus Christ and placed themseves at "The Right Hand of Jehovah."
The same Organization from which I learned the truth, is becoming Anti-Truth. That really hurts. But as it was written, so must it be done.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus.-Amen
The "Theocratic Arrangement" works fully only in/within God's Kingdom, which is not yet on earth ...
Also, there is no "God's Organization" on earth - when Jesus came on earth He named His father's Organization "God's KINGDOM" , and "the Kingdom of Heavens" , so yes, His Organization is in Heavens until now.
The biblical reason we should not use the expression "Jehovah's Organization" related to his people on earth now, is because we must let ourselves taught by Jesus - Matthew 17:5,
and then the apostle Paul has wrote ... in 1Corinthians 2:
10 But God has revealed
them (God's things) to us through His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God,
that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches
but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
So, the true anointed ones (being taught by Holy Spirit) speaks about God's things (revealed truths) using not the words the human wisdom teaches, but "words the Holy Spirit teaches"
And Jehovah God, through His Holy Writings inspired by His Holy Spirit uses the word "people", "My people" when referring to the group of his worshippers on earth ...
and it is worthy to learn, that ...
"For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men." Jeremiah 5:26.
What we MUST obey (and submit to) are the teachings of His Beloved Son - see Matt 17:5 / 2John1:9.
Below are many quotes from prophecies which all applies to members of His people, (not of His org.)
