    You tell your kid to do something, he asks why, you say "because I said so".

    Without actually quoting the proof (you can do that on your own) I will give you
    an example of circular reasoning-

    Jesus chose the WT organization as his Faithful and Discreet Slave in 1919.
    The fact that they are the only ones dispensing accurate spiritual food is
    proof that they were chosen.

    BUT THEIR MESSAGE HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS.

    Well, Jehovah reveals the truth to them progressively. As we are ready to
    handle more spiritual truth, more is revealed. The light gets brighter as more
    is revealed.

    SO WHAT WERE THEY DOING IN 1919 THAT WAS "RIGHT" MORE SO THAN
    THE REST OF CHRISTENDOM?

    They were proclaiming that Jesus was enthroned as King in 1914 and that
    soon would bring about the establishment of God's Kingdom on Earth.

    THEY WEREN'T PROCLAIMING THAT IN 1919. IT WAS ONLY LATER THAT
    THEY SAID THIS. BACK THEN, THEY SAID JESUS WAS INVISIBLY PRESENT
    SINCE 1874.

    Yeah, the light got brighter and the truth was refined.

    BUT THEN, THEY WERE NOT PROCLAIMING WHAT YOUR MAGAZINES
    SAY THEY WERE PROCLAIMING.

    Yes, they were. The truth was just 'refined.' They must have been proclaiming
    the truth because, after all, Jesus chose them.

    The WTS is God's channel.

    Why? It says so in the bible.

    Where? Matt 24, the F&DS parable is really a prophecy.

    How do we know that? The WTS interpreted it that way.

    Why can we believe them? They are God's channel
