With the many examples in the bible of Jehovah taking control of someone's heart and causing them therefore to sin and do something bad... what if when discovered in a sin a jw said to the elders that it was not them that sinned... oh no! It was Jehovah who put it into their hearts to sin! Therefore they cannot be held responsible for their actions.
The elders would not be able to prove otherwise, what would they do?
That should go well. Try it, let us know how you get on.
You're forgetting that Jehovah was an absolute asshole and even in cases where he made someone disobey, he still punished them. A prime example being pharaoh and the 10 plauges. God made his heart obstinate and then punished him for it. So if you use that as an excuse for "sin" then the elders will probably see no reason not to punish you nonetheless.
