Do the WTBTS get a mention in the Bible?
Having observed the realities of the organization that control the religion known as Jehovahs Witnesses, and coming to the obvious conclusion that it is a man made and man controlled business, I had dismissed any connection with the WTBTS and the outworking of Gods purpose through them.
During a phone conversation yesterday, sidgi mentioned that he had been looking at the book of Zechariah, and an interesting portion of scripture caught his eye. Zechariah 11.
15 And Jehovah said to me “Take a shepherd’s outfit again, an in- competent one’s. 16 For here I am setting up in the country a shepherd who will not attend to what is missing nor hunt up what strays nor cure what breaks a leg nor feed what is on its feet, but eat the flesh of what is fat and tear their hoofs. 17 Woe to my sham shepherd who quits the sheep! a sword on his arm and on his right eye! his arm shall dry out and his right eye shall go dim.
Now, why would this scripture be there? After discussing the matter for a while, the conclusion was that if it did indeed refer to the organization, then the reason was simply because they claimed to be shepherds in JEHOVAHS name. No other religion does this. The quotation really does show what the Society has and is doing these days.
