if anyone thought that Jehovah’s revelations ended with the last book of the Bible....take a look at this:
“ ...Rather , he has complete confidence in the truth as it is revealed by Jehovah God through his Son, Jesus Christ , and “the faithful and discreet slave.”
A friend of mine heard a talk (not sure if it was at a convention or a "special talk") by Brother Lett, one of the newbies on the GB. He brought out that many in the organization wonder how the GB are given the food to pass on to the R&F (not his exact words). Is it by special means, i.e. visions, dreams, etc? Not so, according to him. How do they receive their wise renderings of what Jehovah is telling them?
By searching the scriptures. They read the scriptures and then come up with their own interpretation. That is why is keeps changing. (opinion mine)
Actually we all know how they do it, they keep churning up the old stuff. "New Light" comes about when former doctrines become outdated and have to be changed, such as, the generation issue.
I once remarked to Mrs Ozzie "They've got an answer for everything!"
That seems appropriate to this 'explanation' of spirit direction that you heard Cicero. It makes it very hard to argue with, it seems to me, for in their eyes they're always going to be right, having "searching the scriptures" and then "they come up with their own interpretation".
One could think of any number of scripture texts that would deny their claim. I just can't be bothered.
