Making God's Name Manifest -- John 17:6 - 2005/08/25 15:13 We all remember, Jesus and his apostles focused their preaching ministry toward the nation of Israel, the Jewish nation, God's Name People initially. -- Matt. 15:24

However, we also remember the Watchtower Society always says their preaching work was modeled after the first century Christians and that they are imitators of the very work of the apostles. But, is this true?

For example, today Jehovah's witnesses are carrying out a preaching and teaching ministry...but to whom? Isn't it true, JWs are actually preaching to worldly people, and not to those who are God's Name people, like Jesus did? So, can we say the ministry of Jehovah's witnesses is really based upon the example set by Jesus himself, that is preaching "the Good News" to God's Name People?

Yes, isn't it true Jesus preached the "Good News" to his own people, God's people, who were at that time, actually "apostate" to God? (Isaiah 10:6)

Re:Making God's Name Manifest -- John 17:6 - 2005/08/25 16:40 So are you saying that we should only be preaching to our own or those of wayward Christianity since these are the ones who know God but have apostizised from his truth ???

Or are you as being part of the woman ( body of christ or congregation ) saying that it is up to you and everyone else to bring accusation against those above us in higher possitions .... I believe it was only the prophets that were allowed to proclaim things like destruction or judgment towards his people and not the weaker part of the headship.

Please, don't let us fall into the same miserable situation that started this whole mess again.

just my 2 cents , LC

Yes, both John the Baptist and Jesus told the Jewish people or "wayward Jews" [God's Name People] of their day to "REPENT...for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near." Similarly in our day, our Divine Message would be directed toward "wayward" Jehovah's witnesses and not reckoned "Christianity" of our time.

Right. And thats why everyone who becomes a member of the YORWW Congregation speaks as a "prophet" and is qualified to "represent" as a prophet Jehovah God in these matters. In other words and to put this plainly, the YORWW is a Prophet-like "voice" who speaks from the "wilderness." They "represent" Jehovah. -- Isaiah 40:3; John 1:6; Amos 3:7

I hope this helps.
