You put that very well Alan. When I asked my MIL about it she actually thought the org was "inspired" as I think many of them do in actuality. I think this sort of mentality is pushed or wanted by the GB even though as you say they dont come out and directly say it, they do ram the thought of "spirit-direction" down their throats over and over again. As I said, in the minds of most, because of the constant reinforcement of saying they are "spirit directed" they think the two are synonomous.
