Hello,
What about this quote:
*** w65 6/1 352 Questions from Readers ***
In 1938 Jehovah revealed this correspondency to his servants and it was published
in The Watchtower in a two-part article entitled “Organization.
This appeared in the issues of June 1 and 15 and proved conclusively that Jehovah’s
organization must henceforth be guided and directed by Jehovah’s spirit through the visible
governing body made up of those servants whom Jehovah himself would
appoint. “
Compared with this one:
*** w71 12/15 758 A Governing Body as Different from a Legal Corporation ***
Hence the question arises, Can this majority of voters who are made up of such “other sheep,” by
voting in the directors of the Watch Tower Society, at the same time be voting in the members of
the anointed governing body of the “faithful and discreet slave” class? Scripturally, they could not do so.
Not just because they are not anointed heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ, but because
the governing body of the “slave” class is not appointed by any man.
It is appointed by the same one who appointed the twelve apostles in the
first century C.E., Jesus Christ the Head of the true Christian congregation and
the Lord and Master of the “faithful and discreet slave” class.—John 15:16, 19.
and this one:
*** w71 12/15 761 A Governing Body as Different from a Legal Corporation ***
They aided in the feeding and directing of the slave class, and thus a governing body made its appearance. This was evidently under the guidance of Jehovah’s invisible active force or holy spirit.
Also, under the direction of the Head of the Christian congregation, Jesus Christ the Son of God. True, the members of that governing body were not directly appointed by the Lord Jesus Christ.
