My JW father was disgusted at any elevation of a man or men by JW's. He only recognised Big J and the Bible as authorities, and often showed where the GB were going wrong. He was though a loyal believer in the concept that the JW Org was used by god.
So I grew up with a sceptical attitude about them, which was reinforced when a long time worker at Brooklyn H.Q told us that as he passed the GB's door on a Wednesday morning, as he did his cleaning job, he often heard voices raised in anger ! No Holy Spirit there then !
