Linked jwfacts article posts wt claims printed circa 1931 (noteworthy at that -even the assertion that wt does not print opinions, but if that was the case, WT doctrines and direction would not be subject to error which in fact they are as aforementioned wt study article admits. However, regardless of wt claims, it is the jw that have concluded for a fact on their own that wt is backed by Holy Spirit. If that is not a fact, it is foolish to follow the teachings of men -Psalms 146:3,4

"The G.B. is neither inspired nor infallible"
by smiddy inthat admission in the feb.17 ,study edition of the watchtower , " who is leading gods people today ?
" "the governing body is neither inspired, nor infallible, therefore it (they/we) can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction .".

The WT study article is for JW who have already concluded that WT is. The argument presented in the article is to help the convinced JW reconcile error and Holy Spirit co-existence in wt movement. Once having concluded that WT is leading God's people today, the only logical course for JW is to follow wt subject to error in doctrine and direction. Assuming it is a fact that WT is leading God's people today (that is to say, Holy Spirit,) that is the only thing that matters.Error does not invalidate that fact.Who is leading God's people today?

Nobody, including the majority of JW's even thinks about it anymore.-TD
I forgot to say, others don't think about it, but how could you possibly forget the memory of your loved one.

Was it Adam who altered his own DNA so that sicknesses & consequent death would be passed on to his offspring?
by deegee inthe blame for mankind's sicknesses/diseases and consequent death has been placed squarely on the shoulders of adam:.
romans 5:12, 17 - 19:"therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—for if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man.......consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people........for just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners........".
1 corinthians 15: 21, 22:"for since death came through a man........... for as in adam all die.......".

When a person commits suicide, what is the proximate cause of death, the instrument, the person, or God who made the person mortal?

POI, you are one of the coolest dudes on this Forum. Characters like you are usually JW lifers -Seems to me that something must have hurt you seriously hard to leave JW, (in your case that is).

The GB may have said in the past they are infallible but that doesn't reference doctrines...
never said "we can make mistakes"
You got it! And that is exactly what I posted in a previous thread.
The words "not infallibly" are buffered words that have no forceful impact on the mind. The word fallible means mistake error and the wt has been saying this all along using the words not infallible and imperfect. And linking them with TIMING. IN the referenced article the wt spells it out with no buffers and links it to doctrines
"Doctrinal changes ahead" I get the same impression and maybe I know a little more than you about it.
105 years of invisible rule?!!!!!!!! How about 300? Something must give within the next year or so, like the great tribulation or the wt doctrine of generation will not make sense. (ONly one example)
