You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 34-37)
NEVER was it said that we get a pass for words that are
spoken, but only judged for words that are
written.
A false message was spoken at a convention. Your Organization fed it to them. The sheep ate it just as they were encouraged and instructed to do. Some of the sheep got sick and had to leave.
Rather than apologize and repent for serving improper food to the sheep, your Organization demands the sheep who became sick to come back and apologize to the chefs and waiters who prepared and served the rancid food!
Look, imagine you are sitting at a restaurant and just had a bad meal. You complain, but the staff refuses to apologize. Instead they insist you first apologize for making the complaint before you they let you back into their restaurant. Would their "fine attitude" make you more or less eager to dine there?
What if the chefs and waiters publicly told you it was wrong for patrons to write bad reviews about their experience and they should keep such comments to themselves?
What if the restaurant owners accept no criticism but freely accept praise? Is this our telltale sign that the chefs are humble?
What happens if you learn "worldly food inspectors" came to the restaurant days and months before, recommending the chefs make certain changes but the chefs assured their patrons their food preparation was vastly superior to anything the world had to offer. Do you continue to bring your friends there?
Now what happens when you see a fly in your soup, and notice the same fly in everyone else's bowl? You ask your waiter about it, and he tells you not to worry, if there are flies in everyone's soup,
"Jehovah will correct it in due time". Do you ask for spoons and tell the kids to "Dig in!"???
And given the history of rancid food, should you expect us to be more or less willing to get up every Saturday morning, knocking on the doors of friends and neighbors to recommend this restaurant in the hope of getting a better seat at their table?
I know I couldn't recommend
physical food at such an establishment, much less
spiritual food. The idea of awesome eggs with an occasionally putrid cheese sauce isn't enough for me to dine there, and no, knowing the chefs are "fallible" would not be enough for me or any other reasonable person to change their mind.
Quite simply "Good News" that occasionally makes you sick is not a serving Christians should expect from God. Yes, mistakes can happen KJW, but if there's one thing I know it is this: we can never expect an apology for a bad meal when we partake in a table of demons. (1 Corinthians 10:21). Once you realize the cheese sauce makes you sick they'll bring out something new for you to enjoy.
