Jehovah's Witnesses Straight Talk - Forum/Blog

Whom empowers the WTS, where does its top members specifically the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses get their power from, whom has entrusted this elite group with the spiritual lives of millions?

These are important questions because the decisions coming from the power of GB of Jehovah's Witnesses are life and death decisions by their policy, for those under the GB ruling power in either accepting these policies and/or being removed from association with the legal corporation of Jehovah's Witness, the WTS.

JW's adamantly proclaim that such power comes from God/Jehovah's through their GB. Thus, making submitting to their power equal to obeying God's own commandments.

The question is who enumerates the power too GB, where is it written in God's words the bible that the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses would be God's enumerated power upon earth as His Kingdom mouthpiece for the human race? Ultimately, implying any disrespect for this enumerated power is showing disrespect for God Himself.

Myths of Enumerated Religious Powers

A myth is not the truth, it is a belief in something unreal, but believed by the majority of people as truth. The majority of JW's believe in a mythical GB that speaks for God, they bases this myth upon a mystical time in 1919 where God spoke from heaven to their GB, which GB by the way did not yet exist for some 50-years or more into the future. This myth was that members, those anointed at the top of the WTS were told to come up here, that is, up to God's throne, and take the enumerated powers of Christ Jesus expressing those Kingdom powers upon earth as God's mouthpiece judge to all the nations of our earth. Such a myth does not exist within God's written word the bible, nor is it provable through any empirical evidence known to mankind. It is a myth believed by faith by its members, but nonetheless this myth, empowers a small group of hand picked, and hand trained men to rule as (kings) Christ over the faith of millions.

Questions of Enumerated Power of GB

Does the general membership of the WTS believe that it is their own support in this myth that empowers their GB? No! But it is the truth nevertheless, no person can have power over our serving God, not unless we willingly gives our consent empowering a group of men to control our lives spiritually.

But is this where WTS get's its authority from, yes, from members willing too give up their right to worship God freely from the dictates of unrighteous men. However, most members believe the WTS existence as a legal entity by the laws of their country where a branch office is establishes giving it the right to be a legal religion. Which is truth, all legal corporation are given enumerated powers by legislated bodies of laws within the country or state where domicile exist granting them power too conduct business with protection by laws of the government.

Although, the corporation(s) of WTS is granted State legal power, but its life force to operate the legal corporation comes from the breathe, breathed into its corporate structure by its members through funding. In other words, without the breathe of funding from members willingly submitting to the dictates of the GB the WTS would not exist as a force of power over peoples lives. The myth than is the breathe of life comes from God, when in fact the truth is, its power comes from membership supporting the life force of the WTS to rule over their lives.

Community Responsibility

Many individual leaving the WTS consider themselves victims of fraud by men in power. However, they themselves, not unless, they were born into the WTS from parent members, have willingly empowered men over them. Hence, implying community responsibility for allowing ones spirituality to be controlled for membership of the WTS legal corporation. Each person within the WTS must accept personal responsibility for their own relationship with God and Christ it cannot be excused, or put off on the myth of implied enumerate power of WTS GB.

Power of Christ Congregation

The power enumerated to the first century Christian's congregation was from Christ Jesus power which was given him by His Father YHWH. The first century congregation did not derive its power from law of the land, or from its membership. Nor did it receive its power from the Old Law the Jews held sacred for their own power structure that rule the lives of the Jews.

It was a body, the body of Christ, not a power struggle, to gain position over others conscious. None of the members of Christ spiritual body held any power accept through the head of the body Christ Jesus. Instead they were minister members slaves in and too the body to glorify God's power through the Kingdom of God installed by God's own power, founded under Christ Jesus headship.

The early Christian's congregation was not establishing a secondary de facto kingdom of God upon earth. There was no Kingdom of God upon earth with a physical places to worship, or for membership thereof to give their willingly submission to a governing body of men to worshiping idols, instead of God through Christ Jesus, by their faith, despite the dictates of men.

Once a person seeking truth, and is cut too their heart turning away from worshiping idols in man, which is common not just in the WTS members, but found in all false religion. The person repenting, can than walk by Spirit and Truth, causing the angels of God to rejoice in heaven. Hence returning them as a prodigal son to the God of love, and faith.

God will than empower them with the life of Christ Jesus, be it His will, they have than found the true power of God's Kingdom, which will be expressed in greatest joy of Good News out of a clean heart towards all mankind.
