"The point is that Christians have implicit trust in their heavenly Father; they do not question what he tells them through his written Word and organization." Watchtower 1974 July 15 p.441

    "...There was a demonstration featuring a father whose daughter approached him for permission to go to a school dance. Instead of reasoning with his daughter, the father said, "Let's get out the Index." They looked up a few references and the daughter was completely convinced that she should not attend the dance..."

    I thought that was hilarious that part, "Let's get out the Index."

    Interesting quote, given that when one of their predictions fails the GB are just humble, fallible men who have had "failed expectations."

    "...the GB are just humble..."

    Really? More than the catholic pope, these GB men are the most hardest, stubborn group of men I have never seen. The word stubborn according to the dictionary, means

    'Having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, esp. in spite of good arguments or reasons...' Another dictionary states,

    "
    Someone who doesn't listen to other people's opinionts. A stubborn person always thinks he's right. Often assosiated with arrogant and acting allknowing. Its the same as obstinate andkoppig."

    That is GB.

    I agree, Scott77.

    I was just highlighting that the GB has it both ways.

    They portray themselves as humble, fallible men who are doing their best to follow Jehovah....

    ... yet JWs are supposed to trust them without question as dispensers of God's revelations.
