"As the clay in the hand of the potter, so you are in my hand, O house of Israel."—Jer. 18:6. ~ ??????

??Let Jehovah Mold Your Thinking and Conduct

??A potter molds a clay vessel

??Respond favorably to Jehovah’s molding 18:1-11

??Jehovah shapes our spiritual qualities  through counsel or discipline

??We need to be malleable and obedient

??Jehovah never forces us to do things against our will

??A potter may change his mind about what to do with a vessel

??????

??Because Jehovah has given us free will, we can choose either to accept his molding or to reject it

??Jehovah adjusts his dealings with people according to the way they respond to his direction

??As an example of being molded by the Great Potter, a Christian brother walks away from two elders but later returns to talk with them

??In what ways do I need Jehovah to mold me?

??????

DID YOU KNOW?

??Broken pieces of clay beside a clay pot

??Clay was a common material in Bible times. When moist, clay is soft and pliable, and it will maintain the impressions made on it. But clay, even when baked hard, is not a strong material. -

Very SLY of you.

You start off right of course.  We should be mounded by GOD through JESUS CHRIST.

But you soon go off course. Very slyly changing the idea from being moulded by those who have the right to mould us.

You then mention the Elders. That is where you go totally wrong.

The Elders do not do God's work. Even the Governing Body do not do God's work.

You misuse scripture totally and God through Jesus Christ will judge you for it.

@Bible Speaks  It is a good thing to be maellable in God's hands instead of being stiff-necked as the Isrealites were.

And as long as the elders really give advise strictly according to the scripture it is good to listen to their advice. But unfortunately a whole lot of their advices based on the WT and elders' letters are commandments of men and  WT org traditions and falsely applied scriptures. The same old things happens as when Jesus was on earth. Those who were responsible of the spiritual education in Israel and those who served at God's temple had gone astray in many aspects. And when Jesus tried to correct them, majority of them refused to be corrected. 

So how will it be this time when the judgement will begin with the house of God as apostle Peter wrote? Hopefully a majority will not refuse to be corrected. But who knows?

So it seems you are saying, as i have said before, that the JW Org is God's chosen Organisation, but at this moment in time it is way out of line.

I don't know exactly who chose who. But Russell chose Jehovah instead of a Trinity. So the WT organization has dedicated themselves not only to Jesus as most of the churches, but to the only true God Jehovah. So Jehovah must have been glad for that.

But apostle Paul expressed surely God's view on preachers of Jesus who did that not with sincere hearts. That that was better than nothing. So churches who promote faith in Jesus and spread Bibles are and have been useful for God in some extent also. They do not represent Babylon the Great. But all claiming to be christians will be judged according to their deeds.

But I would not start to associate with trinitarians or anyone that does not want to understand the truth. But it does not harm that they at least spread some bible knowledge. Even Islam has spread knowledge about biblical events and biblical persons. So maybe it was better that they conquered some parts of the world that if they had not.
