  Thanks Lee, I am sure you are right. That's why I asked the follow up question, although I doubt they will respond. Would be interesting if they acknowledged any of the other issues, other than simply copyright. I have written to the local (regional) newspaper too but they didn't respond.

  BTW they replied to say:

  "Thank you for your email. I can confirm that Communications have taken steps to change the music to Mozart."
  

  I wrote back:
  

  "Thanks for your email and for changing the music.
  

  May I ask which, if any, of the 4 reasons I listed were the reason for the change. I appreciate you may not be able to share this information, but I am interested to know if possible."

  They just replied to say....(drum roll....)...

  "Thank you for your email, I have registered your comments on our reporting system and forwarded your concerns to our Communications team as feedback to look into and take appropriate action.

  Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with the team."

  GB voice of Jesus....

  a short sweet video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ekihoczyfg she put a link to the whole video if you care to watch.

  here is the thing that came to my mind: by isolating just that part, the part sounds rather hubris, shocking, audacious.

  when the jw hear it couched in a talk and woven in with scriptures, they will take it in without giving a real thought as to what is really being said..

  This very odd expression has actually made some start to think. I have heard family members and congregation members mention it in a faintly negative way - testing the waters with me and others to see if they thought it was odd too. Yes - it's blasphemy, idolatry, stupidity, insanity etc. depending on your point of view/belief system!

  Another nail in the coffin. Keep it up guys!

I googled (actually duckduckgo!) it and asked chatbot and couldn't really find anything but JW stuff. Strange to hear the expression! I'm sure he has no connection to JWs.

  Hideous and scary stuff. "The Governing Body could be likened to" lots of things - but not "the voice of Jesus"!

  According to JW theology, Jesus isn't the mediator for 99.9% of Christians - the GB is! Wow - what a let down!

  Personally I wasn't hoping for that outcome - just a removal of the music, and maybe the reason being admitted publicly somehow (newspaper?).
