Good point. JWs don't realize how weak their concept of God is. This may be because they are constantly reminded of how weak they are. A person who believes the warnings "Don't trust your heart," and "Don't trust your mind," will develop a complex wherein, they can't think independently without worrying that they are going to make a mistake. They will wonder, "Who can I trust?" That is where the same Organization that tells them they can't trust themselves steps in and says, "You can only trust us!"

And yet the bible, Christ and the prophets all warn NOT to put your trust in men.
So m uch for following the bible.

The Borg has figured out that "the public" doesn't read "the public" edition of the WT so now they are just using it to address the rank and file JWs more and more.

The better question is: Why Do Cults Call Themselves "God's Organization"?

God needs a physical address to send the check to.

Apparently, Almighty God is not All Mighty.
What other conclusion is there?
HE can't do it alone. Doesn't have what it take to accomplish HIS purpose.
Not without weak, sinful, imperfect humans who publish their OWN view and get wrong again and again and again.
Jehovah chooses THEM! They can't get anything right--but, Jehovah USES THEM as the one, true religious publicizer of TRUTH.
According to this true and only true Organization Jesus himself returned in 1874 invisibly. No--wait! Change that to 1914!
He's definitely BACK and ruling--THROUGH this organization.
Jesus has become King and Ruler and has been doing his father JEHOVAH's ORGANIZATIONAL WILL. To do what, you ask?
I dunno.
But, he's been accomplishing it through bad-guesses and nit-wit humans in Brooklyn for 97 frickin' years without anything getting done!!
Go figure!

God's organization will evident by the tendency of its followers to gather at either McDonald's or Tim Horton's on Saturday mornings.
