The Watchtower, “Serving Jehovah “Shoulder to Shoulder””

15 de agosto de 1981 · pp.25-30 · par. 14 (p. 28) · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“They say that it is sufficient to read the Bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home. But, strangely, through such ‘Bible reading,’ they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by Christendom’s clergy were teaching 100 years ago”

Describes those who leave as having 'an independent, faultfinding attitude' like Satan and as trying to draw others away from the spiritual food 'spread at the Kingdom Halls'.
