  Okay Mr. Anointed Governing Body Elder, tell me EXACTLY

  Q: How you KNOW what Jehovah wants "channeled" into the Watchtower?

  1. J. F. Rutherford, Preparation , Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society, 1933, page 64, 67, "Enlightenment proceeds from Jehovah by and through Christ Jesus and is given to the faithful anointed on earth at the temple, and brings great peace and consolation to them. Again Zechariah talked with the angel of the Lord, which shows that the remnant are instructed by the angels of the Lord. The remnant do not hear audible sounds, because such is not necessary. Jehovah has provided his own good way to convey thoughts to the minds of his anointed ones ... Those of the remnant, being honest and true, must say, We do not know; and the Lord enlightens them, sending his angels for that very purpose."

  2. Watchtower , December 1, 1933, page 364,

  "Without doubt these angels are delegated by the Lord to convey his instructions to the members of his organization on earth. Just how this is done is not necessary for us to understand."

  ________________________________

  Question: Who should genuine Christians worship according to this perfect "Truth" comes straight from Jehovah through YOU, His mouthpiece?

  1. Watchtower , November 15, 1939, page 339: "Jehovah God commands all to worship Christ Jesus because Christ Jesus is the express image of his Father, Jehovah"

  2. Watchtower 1954 Jan 1 p.31: " "Should we worship Jesus?
  Consequently, since the Scriptures teach that Jesus Christ is not a trinitarian co-person with God the Father, but is a distinct person, the Son of God, the answer to the above question must be that no distinct worship is to be rendered to Jesus Christ now glorified in heaven.

  Indeed, the GB are experts at obfuscation, circular reasoning, misdirection, deflection,bait and switch and outright lying. That is their arsenal of 'theocratic warfare' . Sad to say these tactics are just as effective now as they were decades ago.

  “Although asserting they were wise, they became foolish.” (Romans 1:22) They do not have the Key to understanding as given in Daniel 12:10. Over 140 major changes they made in their teachings show that they did not act “with insight” and that they are not representing the God who “never changes” (James 1:17)

  Look out Terry's on a roll now, mining 1930's Watchtower quotes to prove some relatively obscure, esoteric point.

  Okay Mr. Anointed Governing Body Elder, tell me EXACTLY...

  Only if they would answer! Sadly, anyone seeking "waters of truth" from Watchtower's Governing Body will be sorely disappointed.

  In 2011 the Organization stopped answering questions that were written in. Frankly I doubt that the actual Governing Body was ever bothered with answering questions in the first place, but now you get nothing from any part of the organization.

  From the Watchtower:

  "Neither the branch office nor world headquarters is in a position to analyze and answer all such questions that have not been considered in our literature.

  “Of course, there are some topics and scriptures that our publications have not specifically addressed. And even where we have commented on a particular Bible text, we may not have dealt with the specific question that you have in mind. Also, some Bible accounts raise questions because not all the details are spelled out in the Scriptures. Thus, we cannot find immediate answers to every question that arises…" (W 10-15-11 Regular Edition, Questions From Readers)

  So, if the canned answers in the literature aren't good enough, and they admit they haven't answered every question, then we are out of luck.

  To not answer questions, from an Organization that claims to be 'God's channel of truth' and 'God's spokesman,' is embarassing.

  It seems the Watchtower well of truth and knowlege had dried up.

  The Governing Body has accumulated the over-confidence of nitpicking, interpreting, predicting, legislating, ruling, quantifying,

  parsing, and otherwise extrapolating from scripture as though the Bible somehow grew new words every few months!

  The BIBLE DOES NOT CHANGE--only the GB's views change!

  This is highly suspicious.

  ScenicViewer - "In 2011 the Organization stopped answering questions that were written in."

  Oh, I'm pretty sure they stopped doing that long before 2011.

  Its a modern Papacy, merely updating the clown suit to the western corporate standard veneer well suited to politicians, con men and financiers and others who sell the packaging over the content.

  JWs are package oriented, today they do not even know their own supposed content, and a billion dollar score, guarded by the brain dead and naive, is just to good of an opportunity for the global pros to pass up.

  JWs will be 100% bankupted and defunct in 5 years, imo. The event will be a classic corporate takeover aided by a cyclic global event that will become, or be, global in extent, imo. Its a classic spiritual Ponzi scheme. JWs are the suckers who should have known better. In the Bethel elite strata is where the fox is, and that is where the billions are going.
