    If they are just "imperfect men," then why must we OBEY them unquestioningly?

    • At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not. - The Watchtower Study Edition, November 15, 2013, page 20, paragraph 17 - [Emphasis added]

    So if the GB are mediators for JW's And JW's follow

    The GB Does that make them disciples of the GB

    as others are disciples of Jesus for

    following him?

    A dub will say,"They may be fallible, but they are the channel that God is using."

    There is no way around that one. I argue that being wrong is not wrong. So the GB are wrong, big deal. The problem is claiming to be the only ones who know anything while simulaneously being wrong, and then persecuting others for not believing your ideas. That's "evil slave "101. Brainwashed dubs won't see it that way, so your back to square one.. You might reach someone by getting them to realize that they worship the ORG by obeying human ideas, but that's not a sure thing. That's why you fade and tell the Eldubs to leave you alone. If they don't care about truth, then you cannot reason with them. The moment someone cares enough to actually start doing research there is hope. Otherwise, they just don't care enough yet.

    My question is this. What has the GB ever done to prove they are God's sole channel on earth? Seriously, can anybody come up with just one instance?

    Rutherford, the original FDS, perceived decades later that the non-fds Bible Students said 1914 was significant. Does that count?

    Yeah, but not anymore. That's a really ironic point, because JW's will say "1914" in answer to your question. But if ANYONE was ever right about 1914, it wasn't the FDS, it was the Bible Students. Also, 1914 has to stay because 1919 falls without it, and that means no FDS appointment. So the WTBTS screwed up by kicking CTR to the curb. Now 1914 falls into the same category as the bible cannon. The Word of GOD and the date his all important kingdom became established were both decided upon by non-FDS groups. The 2 most important pieces of spiritual food in history were not distributed by the FDS and ONLY the FDS can distribute spiritual food.

    Part of the corruption of the WTS. and men who run this publishing house is that they at one time publicly announced that god

    had chosen their organization to dispense bible truths to all mankind (1919), which was really a cunning ploy to create

    a semblance of viability and relevance toward the literature the organization published and distributed.

    .

    In reality the WTS. continues on this platform to this day, in spite of the many known contrived and fraudulent

    dating schemes the organization created in the duration of its literature proliferation.

    .

    Most people can smell something wrong with this organization even to the one time and first President of the WTS.

    W. Conley, who left holding his nose and moving on to support another Christian based religious organization.
