With what will I repay Jehovah for all the good he has done for me?—Ps. 116:12.

During the past five years, more than a million people have been baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses. When you dedicate yourself to Jehovah, you choose to become a disciple of Jesus Christ and make the doing of God’s will the most important thing in your life. What will Christian dedication require of you? Jesus said: “If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself.” (Matt. 16:24) The Greek phrase translated “let him disown himself” can also be rendered “he must say no to himself.” As a dedicated servant of Jehovah, you will need to say no to anything that conflicts with his will. (2 Cor. 5:14, 15) That includes saying no to “the works of the flesh,” such as sexual immorality. (Gal. 5:19-21; 1 Cor. 6:18) Will such restrictions make your life difficult? Not if you love Jehovah and are convinced that his laws are for your own good.—Ps. 119:97; Isa. 48:17, 18. w24.03 2 ¶1; 3 ¶4

I have come . . . to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.—John 6:38.

Imagine that a friend gives you a car as a gift. He hands you the title and says: “I will keep the keys. And I will be the one who drives the car, not you.” How would you feel? Now think about what Jehovah rightfully expects of a person who makes a dedication to him, a person who tells him: “I am giving you my life. I belong to you.” What if that person were to start living a double life, perhaps secretly dating an unbeliever? What if he were to accept employment that crippled his whole-souled service in the ministry or attendance at Christian meetings? Would that not be like keeping the keys to the car? A person who dedicates himself to Jehovah is, in effect, saying: “My life belongs to you more than to me. If there is ever a conflict between what you want and what I am inclined to want, what you want will win—every time.” That would reflect the thinking of Jesus, as stated in today’s text.
As long as we are using silly car illustrations: Imagine that you wish to give your car to someone as a gift. But when you go to transfer the title to the recipient you realize that someone has fraudulently inserted their name on the title. Legally it is not your car to give away.

This might illustrate the position of Jehovah’s Witnesses and their dedication. Although one may earnestly wish to dedicate themselves to God and Christ the Watchtower has insidiously inserted itself into the sacred contract as your master.

Nowhere is that more evident than in the so-called baptismal vows that have been scripted by the Watchtower, so that since 1985 every person wishing to be baptized is required to publicly proclaim “yes” to the following question: “Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s spirit-directed organization?”

Obviously if someone has studied and progressed to the point of baptism they have been vetted by the elders and surely recognize that their baptism will identify them as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. That being true, why is it required to publicly confess to belonging to the organization? Has God required this of you? Did first century Christians declare they were in association with the spirit-directed apostles?

Actually, some did identify themselves as belonging to prominent Christian elders, which is why in the opening words of his first letter to them the apostle Paul reproved some of the Corinthians who claimed to belong to Paul and Cephas and others. Surely, Paul was a spirit-directed man, as the Watchtower claims it is; so, why did the apostle object so vigorously to some of the Corinthians claiming to belong to him? Paul’s answer says it all: “Paul was not executed on the stake for you, was he?”

We might well pose the same question: Were any of the Governing Body executed on the stake for you?

The real problem is this: We all tend to be followers of men. It is a tendency in everyone of us. That is why even though they were anointed and had miraculous gifts of the spirit some of those in the Corinthian congregation claimed to belong to certain prominent apostles. Whereas, Paul took strong measures to squash that tendency, sadly the Watchtower promotes it. And that is a problem.

I do not believe that being snookered into confessing that one’s baptism identifies them as being in association with God’s spirit-directed organization in any way diminishes our dedication to God and Christ. Like those Corinthians who confessed that they belonged to so-and-so, we only belong to God’s spirit-directed organization if we make it so.

The downside of actually giving our heart to a spirit-directed organization is that when one is confronted with the fact that the spirit directing the organization is not always God’s spirit, then the faith of the devotee is put to the test.

Given the fact that there is now a growing number of persons who are leaving off from association with what they once confessed to recognize as God’s spirit-directed organization, it is apparent that Jehovah’s Witnesses are followers of men to a great extent. That becomes most apparent when persons cease to strive to do God’s will because of the hypocrisy and unfaithfulness on the part of the leaders of the so-called spirit-directed organization. In other words, such persons base their dedication to God upon the actions of others. As long as they perceive their leaders to be true they stay the course. When they perceive their leaders to be hypocritical then that nullifies their dedication.

Jesus foretold this developing situation when he said: “Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and mislead many; and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. But the one who has endured to the end will be saved. And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

It should be evident that the increasing of lawlessness Jesus foretold does not have anything to do with common street crimes. The increasing lawlessness and growing loss of love directly impacts Christians; otherwise, why would it be necessary to endure to the end? No, those who are stumbled and who will hate and betray one another are Christians. For example, the Watchtower’s ongoing war against the victims of child abuse is lawlessness —being against the law of Christ that requires judges to support the disadvantaged orphans. No doubt many of already been stumbled by the Watchtower’s treachery and gross hypocrisy.

But the reason many have been stumbled and will yet be stumbled and betray one another, is because they are followers of men. And the trend already set into motion will only continue to worsen, as wicked men and imposters advance from bad to worse.

While the false prophets have already risen and have embedded their lies as the very foundation of God’s spirit-directed organization; namely, that Jesus began ruling the world in 1914 —the glorification of the organization will get worse and the false prophets will become outright anti-Christs when the end comes —the time of the end, that is. Then it will be impossible for mere followers of the spirit-directed organization to be saved. That is because Christ will require his followers to get out when once the disgusting thing stands in the place of God.

“OTHER MASTERS BESIDES YOU”​

headquarters of God's spirit-directed organization
Speaking of the judgment of the house of God to come, Isaiah places himself in the future, saying to God for us: “O Jehovah, you will grant us peace, because everything we have done you have accomplished for us. O Jehovah our God, other masters besides you have ruled over us, but we make mention of your name alone. They are dead; they will not live. Powerless in death, they will not rise up. For you have turned your attention to them to annihilate them and destroy all mention of them.” —Isaiah 26:12-14

Surely, the Watchtower has ruled over Jehovah’s Witnesses. The very fact that the leaders of the self-proclaimed spirit-directed organization have conscripted Jehovah’s Witnesses to construct an impressive corporate headquarters to rival worldly corporations, identifies them as having the spirit of this world with their showy display of one’s means of life. The masonic masters of Jehovah’s Witnesses further betray their lack of spirituality by their devotion to Jehovah’s visible organization. Little do they realize the only true organization is invisible. That is why at the coming of Christ the masters will not live. Jehovah’s visible organization will not survive. Only those who remain true to their dedication will be saved.

Hope everyone's day has started well. Had to get the wood stove burning and coffee going.

This post is very pertinent to me. It has given me much to reflect upon. A nice link between the daily text from WTBTS and Robert's commentary, @PJ54. Thank you.

My experience has been that to get the most from the daily text from the WTBTS, for each verse referenced I have to determine the context of each and to broaden my search for its meaning or personal application. This one required a lot of additional reading. It was not the daily text that reached my heart, but all of the additional verses and context that brought me peace from taking notice of how I was a blank slate when I first learned of Jehovah and the progress that he has enabled me to make to date. Oh how I love his word.

I dedicated my life in prayer to Jehovah in April 2021, promising to worship only him and vowing to make his will my number one priority. Prior to that I made a vow to Jehovah that I would always rejoice in the truth. As such, I cannot answer the second question in the affirmative as it is written here or as it appears in the current edition of the Organized to Do Your Will publication. I treasure the gifts from my God too much to take lightly any aspect of water baptism.

I know that Jehovah has given me to his Son and that his Son will not lose me. No man can take that away from me.

It's nice to be able to share with y'all.
 
“A person who dedicates himself to Jehovah is, in effect, saying: “My life belongs to you more than to me. If there is ever a conflict between what you want and what I am inclined to want, what you want will win—every time.”

When I was in watchtower, I know I would have been drawn in by this. I no longer see this as the true application of the scripture. Belonging is not freedom of choice. Belonging is not an endless debt of obligation. To ‘belong’ is to understand why and accept the principles thereof, of an agreement. It seems to me that Jehovah “gave” us life. Jesus “willingly lay down HIS life for us”. When one ‘gives’ a gift, then it is no longer in their possession. When we give praise to Jehovah or His creation we do not keep some of the praise for ourselves for our compliant behaviours.

Watchtower miss the point. We are given life to express it in all its glory, including its inherent gift in spiritual principles and we are given the understanding of the attributes of Jehovah to know how to use the gift of life. It is our choice whether we do so or not. This inspires praise to be freely given. Our life may be inspired by Jehovah - He is the source of life - but we are given it freely without indebtedness to develop the creative gift of it - “to fill the earth and subdue it…”. We were not told what to do as slaves, but requested as free living souls to develop - and had that been realised at the time of Adam and appreciated sincerely, we would not have needed instruction, but guidance. We would have naturally come to love the provision of creation, its inherent moral standards; the depths of empathy would have been explored and realised, the abundance of materials and laws within the creation would have described and fulfilled our every desire and because of this fathomless generosity and love, only generosity and love would have been given birth to. Is not that what every parent wants of their child?

Is Jehovah really asking for us to feel indebted as watchtower suggest, or is this what we as parents may interpret in our small world as gratitude and appreciation, love and respect from our children to use and enjoy what has been provided, and for us as parents for them to be ‘pleased’, not burdened, free to enjoy, not tied to servile gratitude but to develop and explore?

What is expected is to “bring up a child according to the Word and he will not turn away from it.” Independence then. Is that not what choice to serve freely is about but to serve by appreciation, not through a debt that we can never repay? This is reflected in the ultimate gift to the anointed. Life in itself. The true depth of understanding what life is with every last detail of its infinite attributes.

If watchtower described the attributes of Jehovah - the great depth to which the attributes trawl the soul of the person; the flow of peace from understanding these attributes would naturally flow within the congregations and naturally through their application, bring the true accomplishment of what praise actually is - reflection of the Spirit. To reflect back what has been freely given to us by Jehovah in our everyday accomplishment of the gift of life. It’s the poetry of love. Not in any way is it the debt of obligation that watchtower make it out to be.

"scripted" by the Watchtower.
The entire watchtower's MO is a script, a program, yes friends, please follow the scripted program a psyop prepared for you.Thats a big problem. It's in every piece of literature and encouraged to repeat said script verbatim, no independent thought necessary the channel has spoken.
It has become a burden to consider watchtower as having ever provided anything except disappointment, for many, a life long one, with few choices of things you can do and many you don't do. The Watchtower is dead, its a crypt of dead mens bones, a hollowed out lifeless bloodless succubus. The only thing any of us ever needed to serve our maker was, and is, to simply preach.The watchtower cancer has killed more souls than can be accounted for. It was built on lies and is full of corruption and has continued it over generations. I only wish I could walk in to every congregation and deliver real life saving instructions. Who's ever on jehovahs side, leave now!!!
