JW Elder Gets Interrupted During Sermon
Romans:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.
It was immediately after quoting that scripture that the elder was interrupted. Why would they feel impelled to interrupt him based on that scripture which they themselves have quoted thousands of times in their publications? No, I don't think that scripture per se was the reason as the lady in the video wrongfully suggests. No, I think that they had heard enough of his criticism of the WTBTS organization's previous flaws, and just chose the wrong moment to do so. In short, they feared that the he was about to criticize the WTBTS for not focusing enough attention on Jesus.
Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him
Which of course is true. They JWS do place the most of their emphasis on glorification of Jehovah's name, and make Jesus' name secondary. In contrast, the New Testament focuses primarily on Jesus as the intermediary between us and Jehovah, and tells us that the glorification of Jesus name is what leads to salvation. So obviously Jehovah wants his son to receive all of that attention or else he would not have told us so.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
