gathered into the New World society and have
dedicated themselves to Jehovah God have become
spiritually-minded just like the anointed of God
who will be joint heirs with Christ Jesus of the
heavenly kingdom. They have become spirituallyminded
through the interchange of faith, through
communicating to one another about the things
they believe. Those who are truly spirituallyminded
can help the weaker ones in the organization.
It is the responsibility of the stronger ones
to speak to those who have shown hesitance in
taking up their responsibility. That is why Paul
said: "Brothers, even though a man takes some
false step before he is aware of it, you who have
spiritual qualifications try to restore such a man
in a spirit of mildness, as you each keep an eye
on yourself, for fear you also may be tempted."
-Gal. 6:1, NW.
A brother in the organization should not be
offended when another brother who is zealous and
joyful in God's service calls on him to help him.
He should be grateful to God that someone sees
his need and that someone with spiritual qualifications
is willing to help to restore him in a spirit
of mildness. It may be that the one who was
slipping away lost his grip and no longer was
holding fast to the instruction God had given for
him through His Word. Once we lose our grip on
the instruction in God's Word we begin to lose
our life. We must seek accurate knowledge, and
this we cannot attain by our individually, privately
working out our own philosophies and ideas of
life. We must seek Jehovah God. (Prov. 3:5-7)
We must tum to his Word; we must associate with
his organization. We must keep our minds on the
right things and in that way we shall be able to
attain accurate knowledge and true understanding.
It should be the desire of every one to be filled
with accurate knowledge, wisdom and spiritual
discernment so that each one can walk worthily
