INSPECTION OF EMOTIONS 1919
He chose (according to JW’s) those associated with the Watchtower Bible Tract Society because they were the only ones on earth sincerely seeking the truth.
What biblical truth “accurate knowledge” can be found to support this doctrinal teaching of Jehovah’s Witnesses – none!
Moreover, if you have read the publication during that period they reveal that the inspection period was based on “emotions” rather then fact. That’s right! The group of persecuted Christian (International Bible Student) then associated with the society wanted an explanation for the testing they were going through at the time.
Imagine if you will today a group of Jehovah’s Witnesses coming up with a new teaching based on emotions, that is, trying to make their feelings prove God was working through them, thus, bring forth a new truth. They would be label apostates and thrown out of the organization.
Imagine again hearing of a group that’s not Jehovah’s Witnesses using the same method to reveal “new light”. What would Jehovah’s Witnesses call a group like that?
Rather or not Jehovah’s Witnesses act on faith in Jesus Christ is an on going debate, but there is no question that the whole organization stand on an act of faith based on human emotions translated into the now days doctrine for the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The book Captives of a Concept examines the doctrine of them being 'examined' with a thoroughness.
Very good read.
You make excellent points, they ARE hippo-crites (big fat liars)

Perhaps I should change it! I've tried to upload a new picture but for some reason it just doesn't allow me too? Any suggestion?

I haven't read "Captives".... yet, but I will. I realized a long time ago that this is total bullshit. They explained it at Gilead. No chronology or scriptures, just "We received Christs authority then. Now kneel and kiss our rings...."
My one question about this whole thing: Would Christ really pick Rutherford to lead? A man who was a womanizing, bullying, mean, alcoholic? Does that make any sense?
No, it doesn't.

Invisible presences and invisible inspections, what a joke. It must be one of the oldest tricks on the book trying to gain someone's trust on the basis of facts that can't be verified and disproved. However they count on the naive and unduly trusting getting caught by this clumsy trick and there are always many of them around.
If it ever were possible for an objectionable character like Rutherford to get chosen as God's elite religious leader.
