How can "God's Organization", directed by Holy Spirit EVER be at fault? Are you saying Jehovah has directed these men to get it wrong? How COULD you??
The bible is very candid when it comes to people's mistakes, it says it all. But the Watchtower has a reputation and a following to uphold as the self-proclaimed "God's Organization on Earth today" They can't mess about with the awkwardness with being honest about mistakes. If they did that, then most of the brothers would probably walk. Then they'd lose their status, their comfortable, all catered for, home, their power and control. Oh no, we can't have that now, can we.
....on second thoughts.....
What faults? All those changes are New Light - it's getting brighter you know.
They need to present the illusion of being God's chosen organization, when they are not. In order to do that, they need to protect against people finding persistent faults. If something bad does happen, they need to make it look like an isolated situation that is being dealt with swiftly or one that will be taken care of in Jehovah's time.
They need this in order to scam people into joining. And they need their numbers to advance so they can pass more laws that will protect their censorship of the Internet and plunge mankind into the Second Dark Ages before some "secret society" or a coup can derail them. Hence, they are aggressive at stifling evidence that they are not really God's chosen people.
And I wonder what they are going to do if and when atheism or Devil worship (of the kind where people believe the Devil was in the right and Jehovah was a selfish, wicked, evil tyrant that was going to doom mankind to live perennially in a Dark Age) becomes mainstream. Let that happen, and the religious scams are going to stop working (how can a non-existent God destroy anyone, or what kind of life would it be if some self-righteous Tyrant would impose an oppressive dictatorship on survivors). The Washtowel Slaveholdery will have to switch from initiatory fraud to initiatory force to keep people in and get new recruits, since they will not switch to creating any sort of value that would make it pay off to join.
The question should be why don't all religions do this....also stop yelling. Oh and big surprise on your favorite site.
FAULTS !! WHAT FAULTS ?
Gotta go with the above posters. They claim to be the mouthpiece for the Almighty, Perfect, Never-Erring, Always-Absolutely-Rright, King of the Universe; Who created all things, Is everything to everyone. So if they admit to being wrong, then either the above referenced King of the Universe told them wrong, or they are not the mouthpiece. Since it is impossible for God to be proven wrong to an infinite and absolute point, it must be them. If they are wrong, then they are worthy of death, and owe us all our time, money and lives back. Guess who is not up to doing that and giving up their spot on top of the sandpile?
