"You Must Be Holy Because Jehovah Is Holy", The Watchtower, February 15, 1976
page 124, "Would not a failure to respond to direction from God through his organization really indicate a rejection of divine rulership?"
The above quoted Watchtower article came the year AFTER the failure of 1975 on every level.
Not only was the worldwide publicity connected with 1975 totally embarassing to Jehovah's name and organization it was the 2nd time the error
had been made!
1872 SIX THOUSAND YEARS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE END (The Time Is At Hand, p. 54). [See 1889]
The language that traps Jehovah's Witnesses in their own religion in spite of the worst possible public failures demonstrating goofy guesswork
is densely packed into misleading loyalty to God as loyalty to Governing Body dictates.
1. Jehovah is the Supreme Authority and His son, Jesus are mankind's rightful rulers.
2.These divine rulers are invisible, silent and humbly allow mere imperfect humans to direct all their earthly subjects.
3.The imperfect humans who direct Divine activity on Earth are the Governing Body.
4.The chain of evidence demonstrating the faulty understanding of prophecy by this Governing Body indicates the need for constant revisions.
5.Anybody aware of the errors and revisions who might call attention to the shame cast upon Jehovah as their "Director" are misguided and disloyal.
6.The wisest course of action is to allow errors to be taught and to fully accept and repeat them publicly, attributing the source of these eventual mistakes to God.
7.Pure worship consists of loyalty to men before loyalty to any objective demonstration of false teachings.
