    JW's like to throw it in our face when we talk about the wrong things that the WT and the GB has taught. They cite examples of David and Moses. "David and Moses were imperfect men who made big mistakes but Jehovah still used them."

    They clearly forget about the part of the story where those two were severely punished for their transgressions.

    So, when can we expect the GB to be punished for their errors?

    My response to the comment that Jehovah uses imperfect men is - "which part of the Bible is incorrect then?"

    That leads into "why then can't Jehovah direct imperfect men these days to get it right in the Watchtower?"

    The conversation will then possibly get tangled up in all sorts of illogical tangents such as, "the GB are directed by holy spirit but not inspired ..."

    Exactly. Drop the jehovah and you're left with "imperfect" men, snakes, donkeys, whales, trees and demons. Oh and let's not forget the hooker. Jehovah used a hooker too. I hoped he tipped her generously.

    This is another of those cliches designed to 'stop thoughts'!

    They usually say stuff like the Apostles made mistakes. My reply is usually: 'Yes but they didn't print it in publications and preach it. They didn't disfellowship people that didn't accept it!'

    WOW! Good stuff!

    I just was told they never claimed to be prophets. I just found the WT article (1974) where they DID claim to be God's modern day "prophet"(note the "---" brackets ) -- I guess I'll hear that "prophet" [brackets] means NOT really prophet [no brackets]....
