Some 'spirit' may be directing the wt, but it sure as heck is not God. Satan maybe?

No. From reading CofC, the anointed do not write this stuff - "other sheep" do. That was news to me. So ................... if Jehovah only directs his spirit through the F&DSC then the mags. and books are not spirit directed as they are written by the R&F.
Go figure..................

Want to know who exactly writes the Watchtower and Awake? Just read the manual!

Look at Section 24 and it will tell you all about it.
4. Those used as writers must be dedicated, baptized brothers or sisters in good standing with their local congregations and who have writing ability. They should be exemplary, modest, not inclined to talk loosely to others about their writing activity. Sisters may be found to be especially talented in writing articles of interest to women. However, they should not be used to prepare articles that are basically an exposition of Scripture. Whenever anyone is given an assignment to write an article for The Watchtower or Awake!, that person should be given a copy of the memorandum “Writing for Our Journals.” It is not necessary that the person read the Standards Manual if that is available locally . However, the one in the branch responsible for sending in the article should be well acquainted with this publication and follow its rules when editing material submitted. This will do much to assure that articles will be usable for publication.
Notice that the writers are NOT anointed! The publications can be written by just about any JW.

Want to know WHY they don't make public who writes and edits the publications?
50. CONFIDENTIALITY: It is important that translators keep their work confidential. Apart from the responsible brothers and those involved in the project, others (including marriage mates and other Bethelites) do not need to know (a) what is being translated and (b) who is translating a particular item. No publication should ever be associated with a particular person. This is especially so in the case of Bible translators. This confidentiality protects both the organization and the translators.

no way, don't they have questions from readers at the end of the mag?( don't really remember) so was God answering those questions too?

They themselves do not know what they are they talk about being spirit directed which is supposed to be different from spirit inspired but as far as I know they never explained what the two definitions are and how they differ.
In fact they have nothing to do with the divine in whatever way as we can see by their inability to produce a stable truth. The Truth of God does not change at all let alone frequently.
