Blind

The Jehovah's Witnesses might be the group with the most bible study hours of any other group in the history of the world.

They study the version of The Bible that is handed to them, as food is, by their governing body, who are in New York USA, who call or calls themselves the faithful and discreet slave.

James 1:5-8

5 So, if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep on asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching; and it will be given him. 6 But let him keep on asking in faith, not doubting at all, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and blown about. 7 In fact, let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from Jehovah; 8 he is an indecisive* man, unsteady in all his ways.  (From the New World Translation Bible)

* lit. two-souled

Where do Jehovah's Witnesses get wisdom to understand The Bible?  They do not get it from 'Jehovah'.  The faithful and discreet slave(s) get it from Jesus who gets it from The Father they call Jehovah.

The writer of James 1:5 says wisdom is got from asking God.  But Jehovah's Witnesses are not allowed to be wise apart from the governing body.

If it really means life with blessings or death by a curse to believe or not believe what the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses says about the way, the truth and the life, then why did not James SAY so?  If where we get wisdom about God is so important why didn't he write (after verse 5) "from the messenger God will provide"?

Two souled?  Aren't loyal Jehovah's Witnesses really two souled?  They are taught to doubt their own wisdom and to replace their trust in God with trust for the faithful and discreet slave.  They will say they worship YHVH and listen to The Son of God and they are not lying.  They want to worship YHVH and they love to listen to Jesus but they really are not allowed to do so by the governing body.  That is two souled.  One soul for Jehovah and Jesus.  One soul for the governing body.

verse 6 Let him keep on asking in faith.   The governing body teach that to have faith in them is God's way.  I think verse six means have faith in God.
