Non esiste alcuna scissione. Ufficialmente è ancora un fratello inattivo.
Questo è quello che Stafford scrive:
Because of this realization and a failure by those in positions of responsibility within the Watchtower Society to respond to Stafford’s complaint about this an other issues (compare Matthew 18:15-17), Elihu Books is now a part of the ministry of the Christian Witnesses of Jah, a ministry that seeks to put loyalty to Jah and to Jesus Christ above loyalty to any man, or woman. This ministry also intends to challenge many of the traditions of Christendom, including those found in groups like the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Evangelicals, Mormons, as well as other beliefs about God that are not based on good reasons, such as we find in Islam and in other faiths. Through the combined efforts of Elihu Books and the Christian Witnesses of Jah we intend to help those in need. We intend to put truth above all else, even above love, for if love is not love of what is true then it is love for something else, something that is not true.
Non mi sembra così semplicistico come dice Christopher. La frase che ho nerettato la dice lunga, se si sà cos'è un'organizzazione che si definisce "ministry" in America. Il fatto poi di paragonare noi (e senza chiamarci TdG ma WTS) a Mormoni ed Evangelici mi pare la dica lunga sulla sua posizione.
