  Of course, if they didnt then they would be resposible for all the lies they tell. Inspiration is infalibility, and they are not.

  Like I said they are not inspired by God . No one is today on the face of the earth .They admitted in 1930 AD or so there are no more miracles which was their best step in correction and it was contrary to what Taze Russell believed ! They corrected their founder !

  That is why today using that one view we can disqualify most christian religion as being true and keep Jehovah's Witnesses in place !

  But Taze Russell believed so and was a true servant !? How come ? Because there was no one at that time legitimate who could challenge Taze Russell on that .It was not the right time to do that .

  According to the Bible and the plan as I have presented the Watchtower can correct views within itself .No outsider can do that .

  That is why I remain in my independent views using Luke 9.49-50 and can only hope God Yahweh will guide them to me and see their mistakes but the final decision lies with the Watchtower .And they may not change up to very end and that will keep Luke 9.49-50 actual all the time until the end comes.

  The seperation of that one servant from the small group of servants all belonging to 144000 class will evidently remain to the end of the world - Luke 9.49-50.

  In view of that I don't see a place for those who left the Jehovah Witness organization and are on their own .Unless they feed on the teachings that one independent servant and sympthize with him without being hostile to the Jehovah Witness organization.

  Read my earlier posts I have explained God's plan using the end-time chronology -which religion God Yahweh accepts.

  " in·spired,

  v.tr.

  1. To affect, guide, or arouse by divine influence.

  So to be inspired in this instance would mean one would be affected, guided or

  aroused by the Holy Spirit. JR Brown says that that does not happen in the organization.

  Fair enough. I don’t think we would argue with that.

  Where it becomes a little tricky is: What then is "Spirit directed"?.

  Seeing that expression is not found in the Bible (I checked the Watchtower CD) let us work it out.

  We all know what Spirit means.

  Now what about directed:

  di·rect·ed,

  v.tr.

  1. To manage or conduct the affairs of; regulate.

  2. To have or take charge of; control.

  So they are actually saying the "Holy Spirit" has taken charge, is managing and controlling the organization.

  Then comes the question: How could one be DIRECTED,(controlled or managed) by the Holy Spirit but not "inspired", keeping in mind that Inspired means affected, guided or aroused by divine influence (Holy Spirit).

  So the claim of "Spirit directed" is actually greater than "Inspired".

  Ps This is copied from someone, but I don't remember who, so I can't give credit. Sorry.
