For example, olketa kasem direction lo hao for duim olketa meeting part, hao for offerim prea for kongregeson, and hao for lukaftarem sheepsheep blo Christ. Olketa elder wea followim direction from organization bae helpem olketa brata and sista wea olketa lukaftarem for feelim love blo Jehovah and feel sef.

Olketa elder helpem iumi for tinghae lo direction wea kam from organization blo Jehovah (Lukim paragraf 11) b


12. (a) Why nao iumi shud obeyim olketa wea lead? (Hebrew 13:​7, 17) (b) Why nao iumi shud focus lo positive wei blo olketa wea lead?

12 Taem iumi kasem direction from olketa elder, iumi shud willing for followim. Taem iumi duim datwan, bae hem isi for olketa duim waka blo olketa. Bible encouragem iumi for obey and followim olketa wea lead. (Readim Hebrew 13:​7, 17.) Samfala taem datwan savve challenging. Why? Bikos olketa no perfect.

Bae iumi mekem olketa brata and sista for no trustim organization blo God, wea datwan nao goal blo olketa enemy blo iumi. Wat nao iumi savve duim for luksavve and rejectim olketa laea story blo olketa enemy?

NO LETEM NARAWAN SPOELEM WEI WEA IUMI TINGHAE LO ORGANIZATION

13. Wat nao olketa enemy blo God duim for trae spoelem organization blo God?

13 Olketa enemy blo God trae for mekem positive samting wea organization blo God duim for hem luk negative. For example, iumi lanem from Bible hao Jehovah expectim olketa wea worshipim hem for klin lo spiritual and physical wei, and for wei blo olketa tu mas klin. Hem sei eniwan wea no repent and gohed for duim samting wea no klin mas aot from kongregeson. (1 Cor. 5:​11-13; 6:​9, 10) Iumi obeyim disfala Bible komand.

14. Hu nao kosim olketa laea story abaotem organization?

14 Luksavve lo man wea bihaenem olketa attak. Satan datfala Devil nao kosim olketa laea story. Hem nao “dadi bilong wei for laea.” (John 8:44; Gen. 3:​1-5) So iumi expectim pipol blo hem for promotim olketa laea story abaotem organization. Datwan happen lo olketa Christian lo first century.

15. Wat nao olketa religious leader duim lo Jesus and olketa follower blo hem?

15 Lo first century, olketa wea sapotim Satan talem staka laea abaotem perfect Son blo God wea duim olketa mirakol. For example, olketa religious leader talem pipol hao paoa wea Jesus kasem for raosem olketa demon, hem kam from “boss bilong olketa demon.” (Mark 3:22) Lo kot case blo Jesus, olketa religious leader sei Jesus tok spoelem God and olketa bihaenem pipol for ask for killim dae Jesus. (Matt. 27:20) Bihaen, taem olketa follower blo Christ preachim gud nius, olketa wea againstim olketa bihaenem pipol for persecutim olketa Christian hia. (Acts 14:​2, 19) Wastaoa blo December 1, 1998, explainim wat Acts 14:2 storyim, and sei hao ‘olketa Jew no satisfae for rejectim message nomoa, bat olketa laea for tok spoelem olketa Christian mekem olketa wea no Jew againstim olketa.’

16. Wat nao iumi shud tingim if iumi herem olketa laea story?

16 Lo first century tu, Satan gohed for laea. Distaem, hem still gohed “laea long evriwan long earth.” (Rev. 12:9) If iu herem eniwan storyim negative samting abaotem organization or olketa brata wea lead, no forgetim wat olketa enemy blo God duim lo Jesus and olketa disaepol blo hem lo first century. Olsem Bible talem, distaem pipol gohed laea and persecutim pipol blo Jehovah. (Matt. 5:​11, 12) Olketa laea story bae no trikim iumi if iumi luksavve hu nao bihaenem datwan and iumi kwiktaem duim samting. Wat nao iumi shud duim?

17. Wat nao iumi savve duim for olketa laea story no affectim iumi? (2 Timothy 1:13) (Lukim tu box “ Wat for Duim Taem Iumi Herem Olketa Laea Story.”)

17 Rejectim laea story. Aposol Paul givim klia instruction lo wat for duim if iumi herem laea story. Hem talem Timothy for talem olketa Christian for “no lisin long olketa laea story” and for rejectim “olketa laea story wea no showimaot respect for samting wea holy.” (1 Tim. 1:​3, 4; 4:7) Wanfala pikinini savve pikim nomoa eniting from floor and putim insaed mouth blo hem, bat wanfala mature person bae no duim diswan bikos hem luksavve datwan savve mekem hem sik. Iumi tu rejectim olketa laea story bikos iumi luksavve finis ples wea datfala information kam from. Iumi hol strong lo olketa “gudfala toktok” blo truth.—Readim 2 Timothy 1:13.
