Refinement in our own understanding comes by exposure to new light, which we can't see spiritually, unless we turn toward it, with curiosity and eagerness and a sense of wonderment. Which is why Jesus spoke highly of becoming a little child, which he did himself in coming to earth.

where do the refinements come from?, and why do you answer thus?
by Spike Tassel inbluecanary asks [with emphasis mine]:.
in the past when god's chosen leader acted without his blessing, god corrected the individual/group in an obvious and miraculous way.
why does it appear, then, that when the gb is "adjusted" it comes from external sources, such as the 1914 generation dying off, or races integrating nationwide.

by AllTimeJeff in"unless they know and love jehovah first.
they love "jehovah".
they discuss how to make sure that though they are in charge, everyone doesn't see them, they see the great and powerful jehovah.... oh.

Jehovah always knows what we're up to, so he hasn't turned his back. On the other hand, if we've turned our back on Jehovah, then we can't see the new light. Once we return to the light, we see what it is, and are no longer in the dark.

No doubt, refinements come as we continue our journey of discovery and notice our need to adapt to our ever-changing environment.
Often, refinements come as a result of communication, although the discreet may leave much unsaid. If you'd been through it all, you may remember all the nuances and appreciate why it went like that. If you're new to things and start looking back when you've not been through it all, it will just look inconsistent, perhaps. Love, fortunately, covers a multitude of idiosyncrasies, on principle. After all, if we want forgiveness, we must forgive. If we want mercy, we must be merciful. If we want love, we must love. Refinement works. That way.

Jehovah didn't turn his back, some of his reps may have, though.
Were they working with all of Jehovah's views about us? No, only the ones that were "red flags" in the reps minds.
"Discipline" is still a very misunderstood concept, it would seem. It's actually not about punishment at all, it's about "making disciples".

let's keep from insulting another another, shall we?
the Topic is "where do the refinements come from?, and why do you answer thus?"
let's stick to that

I don't get anything out of the Bible by itself. It needs a context for me to refine my thinking properly.

reading comprehension is marvelous, and helps one love better, especially those one is trying to persuade.

my refinements come from processing, and factoring out the chatter

loving someone is a wonderful choice/ option, even if it's spun as a "have to".
