Saturday, September 19 He will certainly bring about deliverance from the Assyrian. —Mic. 5:6. Today, Jehovah certainly has provided an abundance of spiritual men to shepherd his precious sheep, to strengthen his people for the future attack of the modern-day “Assyrian.†The most practical step that we can take to prepare for the coming attack of “the Assyrian†is that of strengthening our faith in God and helping our brothers to do the same. When “the Assyrian†attacks, the elders must be absolutely convinced that Jehovah will deliver us. At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not. Now is the time for any who may be putting their trust in secular education, material things, or human institutions to adjust their thinking. w13 11/15 3:16, 17
I remember this Watchtower study. This was the "obey us even when what we say sounds crazy" article. What???? Not this l'il Aussie cobber. I've been studying the business model of the GB for some time now. Years ago, I decided already what my personal boundary of blind obedience would be, regarding the GB.
It's tough brothers and sisters. Christians are in this situation, the text is mostly correct; but with the "deluding influence".
It becomes problematic when one understands "the Assyrian" is in control of Bethel from within. (Dan11:32a) Then think of the implications to JWs "obeying the Pied Piper GB Assyrian as unsound as it may appear". It's called a "trap". With the perfect bait.
