*** Text for Wednesday, October 29, 2014 *** These men . . . are . . . disregarding lordship and speaking abusively of glorious ones.—Jude 8. Obviously, such a spirit has no place in the Christian congregation. Older men in the congregation are not perfect, just as they were not perfect in the time of the apostles. Elders may make mistakes that affect us personally. If that happens, how inappropriate it would be for any member of the congregation to react according to the world’s spirit, vehemently demanding “justice” or that “something be done about this brother”! Jehovah may choose to overlook certain minor failings. Can we not do the same? Because of what they perceive as defects in the elders, some individuals who engage in serious wrongdoing in the congregation have refused to appear before a committee of elders assigned to help them. This could be likened to a patient who loses out on the benefits of a treatment because he does not like something about the doctor. w12 10/15 2:6, 7
