Once my KH took a vote to see if they should change the meetings from Tue/Thu to Mon/Wed. One of the bros, elder or something, had just rearranged his work schedule to accommodate the meetings, and now they were trying to change it. The guy on the pulpit asked for a vote & no one spoke up. Dead silence. Common sense seemed to dictate that the cong did not want to change the schedule. Yet the guy who had just changed his work schedule raised his hand and "seconded the motion". When asked why, he said it was obvious that Jehula wanted the schedule to be changed (otherwise why would He allow the elder to take a vote?), so he was going along with the Almighty's Will.

It does really seem that the JW's are run by a human spirit and not a Holy Spirit when one considers these experiences.Perhaps the giving to publishers the right to vote on some things was a way to make them feel they at least had some control ,as a token , but it still really is a counterfiet way to express unity when one feels they have to vote positively to keep unity.
