WT says we must not be presumptuous; oh hell what about this then..from the CARC
Angus Stewart: Legal counsel. "And do you see yourselves as Jehovah God's spokespeople on Earth?"
Geoffrey Jackson: Governing Body. "Ah, that I think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson god is using."
