Den Guddommelige Sandhed om JV

´

I Watch Tower for 15. juli 1906 (side 229)
skrev C.T.RUSSELL ydmygt:
„Nej, kære venner, jeg gør ikke krav på noget fortrin, nogen overnaturlig kraft, værdighed eller myndighed; jeg tragter heller ikke efter at opnå større anseelse hos mine brødre i troens husstand, undtagen i den forstand som Herren tilskyndede til da han sagde: ’Den som vil være den første iblandt jer, han skal være jeres træl.’ (Matt. 20:27)
. . . De sandheder jeg som Guds talerør fremholder er ikke blevet mig åbenbaret i syner eller ved drømme eller ved Guds hørlige røst; ej heller blev de åbenbaret alle på én gang, men gradvis . . . Denne klare åbenbaring af sandheden skyldes heller ikke menneskelig kløgt eller skarp opfattelsesevne, men den enkle kendsgerning at Guds tid er inde; og hvis jeg ikke talte og der intet andet redskab kunne findes, ville stenene råbe.“

HVORNÅR opstår så begrebet "GUDS ENESTE SANDE ORGANISATION" / "GUDS EGEN ORGANISATION"
HVORNÅR begynder man at tale om, at "ENGLE KOMMER MED BUD FRA JESUS el. JEHOVA"
Første gang jeg ser ORGANISATIONEN + ENGLE + JEHOVA + JESUS er i 1930!
Citat: ..............................................
"Again God put in the the mind of his people, by his angel, to act and carry out his purposes!" (Light. Volume I. l930. p. 120).
-----------------------------------------------------
". . . the servant class on earth are directed by the Lord through his duly constituted deputies or angels. (Light. Volume II.1930 p. 20).
.....................................................

Men det skulle da IKKE undre mig, om det kom før - Dette at
JW/WTS blev ophøjet ved Booze Rutherford til "JEHOVAS EGEN ORGANISATION"!
Spørgsmålet er bare - Hvilket belæg en Drukkenbolt som RUTHERFORD
havde for dette - men det kan jo være et syn i en af hans mange branderter!

P.s. For god orden skyld, er her den ENGELSKE TEKST SOM C.T.RUSSELL SKREV:
No, dear friends, I claim nothing of superiority, nor supernatural power, dignity or authority; nor do I aspire to exalt myself in the estimation of my brethren of the household of faith, except in the sense that the Master urged it, saying, "Let him who would be great among you be your servant." (Matt. 20:27.)
...No, the truths I present, as God's mouthpiece, were not revealed in visions or dreams, nor by God's audible voice, nor all at once, but gradually, especially since 1870, and particularly since 1880. Neither is this clear unfolding of truth due to any human ingenuity or acuteness of perception, but to the simple fact that God's due time has come; and if I did not speak, and no other agent could be found, the very stones would cry out.
Nedenstående er den tekst der mangler fra Matt: 20:27 ... No, the truths .........
(And my position among men of the world and of the nominal church is certainly far from exalted, being "everywhere spoken against." I am fully contented, however, to wait for exaltation until the Lord's due time. (I Pet. 5:6.) In the Apostle's words I therefore answer, "Why look ye upon us, as though by our own power we had done these things? We also are men of like passions with yourselves"--of like infirmities and frailties, earnestly striving, by overcoming many besetments, discouragements, etc., to press along the line toward the mark of the prize of our high calling, and claiming only, as a faithful student of the Word of God, to be an index finger, as I have previously expressed it, to help you to trace for yourselves, on the sacred page, the wonderful plan of God--no less wonderful to me, I assure you, than to you, dearly beloved sharers of my faith and joy.)
