   WHAT HAS THE WATCHTOWER ORGANIZATION CLAIMED ABOUT THE INDEPENDENT BIBLE   “So we Read” in the Watchtower October 1, 1967 “Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible. For this reason the Bible cannot be properly understood without Jehovah’s visible organization in mind.” (The Watchtower, October 1, 1967, p. 587) You may see the original here- https://www.witforjesus.org/downloads/english/pdfs/jehovahs-witness/bibleread/wt10-1-67p587.pdf So, how can you read the Bible “independently” since it belongs not to “individuals” but to the “Organization”? In other words, how can you be free reading the Bible for yourself when you are GUIDED how to do it ,doctrinally or else by a religious organization and its authority?                                     "Thy Word is Truth" (John 17:17)     

  Understanding the Calling of the Israel of God and the blessing of all the families of the earth  "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called" (Ephesians 4:4,NIV) "After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands" (Revelation 7:9) True Christians espouse a foundational belief rooted in the biblical concept of the "heavenly hope," an idea central to their doctrinal framework. This belief emphasizes the notion that Christians are called to a higher, heavenly calling, distinct from earthly aspirations. A principal scripture reinforcing this belief is found in Philippians 3:14 , wherein the apostle Paul speaks of pressing "toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
