..Is there any? Bear in mind what Jesus himself said: John 15:24 New International Version (NIV) 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.

Not one bit of proof, they are self-appointed liers.

Because they say so... in the April 2010 WT, and more so in the July 2010 study articles, the claim is specifically made that changes in teachings are made by Holy Spirit:
- When the time comes to clarify a spiritual matter in our day, Holy Spirit helps responsible representatives of “the faithful and discreet slave” at world headquarters to discern deep truths that were not previously understood. (Matt. 24:45; 1 Cor. 2:13) The Governing Body as a whole considers adjusted explanations. (Acts 15:6) What they learn, they publish for the benefit of all. (Matt.10:27) As time goes on, further clarifications may be needed, and these too are honestly explained.

I believe John 15:24 means Jesus showed us how we can draw close to God, if he had not shown us how, no one would have done so. The illustration of Noah, same thing. When The Governing Body said the organization was the "ark", I thought "whatever", when the GB said the organization was the "vessel" in which the angels threw the good ones, I thought, there's no way that is true.

They are a perfect reflection of their bellicose and belligerent god of the OT.... what more proof do we need?

They are a perfect reflection of that fictional character "Jehovah", and of course a fictional character is incabable of directing them, so again, no proof.

Being insistent about "no Jehovah" because you haven't met Him yet, sound like sour grapes to me. You want to fight? Do you know where i live?

I think that the GB has self-applied Matthew 24:45-47 to death. They self proclaim that it applies to them, and that is their flimsiest proof, and the only one they have. Lame!
