I talked to a older sister in the hall on Monday and someone had sent her Tony's talk. She was just raving about it. I said that I too had read parts of it and something the seemed strange and really brothered me was that that he was talking like Jehovah was actually talking to the GB and telling them what to say. That what the GB said was the same as if Jehovah had come down and spoken it himself.
The older sister said yes I know that is what I got out of it myself. I said but is that not scary since the GB are still imperfect men. She did not stop and think about what I had said for a minute but went right on with her way of thinking and said yes it is so great that Jehovah is speaking through these men. I sopped her again and said but are not the GB imperfect people. She said yes. I then said well how can what they say be taken as Jehovah speaking trough them if what they say in imperfect.
She just could not get what I was meaning in the least and said again it is so loving for Jehovah to speak to us through his faithful slave.
I just gave up.
