(Cont. from Page 780). 781. FURTHER IDENTIFICATION OF
(8) "That
woman" of the "Jezebel" class could not be among the
"little flock". (Rev 7:4). Nor for that matter will "she"
be among those who come through the "great tribulation" Through the "disgusting thing... standing in a holy place" (self-recommended men appointed to the rank of JW 'elder') satan has given women an allowance to teach men within and outside Christ's congregations. (Matt 24:15. 1 Tim 2:11,12). The advanced warnings of Jesus were of a spiritual immorality. That is why under inspiration from God, the apostle Paul said: "I do not permit a woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man, but to be in silence." (1 Tim 2:12). Those who tolerate the disobedience of women teachers in their congregations have not proven themselves faithful chosen ones of God. They have not accepted correction and repented of their sins by observing the Lord's commandment of 1 Corinthians 14:34-37. They are fearful of exposing "that woman" and reducing her to nothing. (Rev 2:20-23). Instead, they dismiss the Lord's commandment that they may continue "being ignorant"* in a deliberate sense. But: "If anyone claims to be inspired... let him recognize that what I write has the Lord's authority. If he does not acknowledge* this, God does not acknowledge him." (1 Cor 14:37,38 NEB. See NWT). "That woman" of the "Jezebel" class and those still committing spiritual "adultery" with "her" will be destroyed in the destruction of sectarian "Babylon", as will "her children" who are believers in that false "prophetess". (Rev 2:22,23). Bearing witness to Jesus and teaching baptized servants and ordinary persons the Will of God is the responsibility of men. They should, as our Lord commands, "let the women keep silent" in the congregations, and not teach them to do otherwise, and in this way "let them be in subjection". (1 Cor 14:34). Contrary to the apostate teaching of JWs based on their erroneous translation of Psalm 68:11, "telling the good news" to people outside the congregation is not a concession given to women. Psalm 68:11 was merely the proclamation of an army's triumph by women in song and pre-dates the "good news of the Kingdom" of Christ by 500 years. (Matt 24:14). The "good news" of Jesus' life course and sacrificial death had not occurred at the time Psalm 68 was written. (See Page 842).
When told of these truths from our Father's Word, members of "that woman"
are not willing to accept them and repent. By teaching when speaking in JW
congregations, members of "that woman" are made manifest.
