It has been stated repeatedly and referenced by WT literature in multiple posts. The GC have no mediator. They are latchers on trying to gain paradise by extension.
It’s like chain migration.

“And the doors to heaven are closed”
tv trailer: ‘leah remini: scientology and the aftermath: the jehovah’s witnesses' two hour special event - a&e, 9pm et/pt, tues, nov 13, 2018. https://youtu.be/yzdege5im90.
didn't see a post about it yet.
will you be tuning in?
The morality thing worked when I was an adolescent.
Don’t steal, don’t cheat, don’t fight, don’t swear, don’t fool around with boys, don’t do drugs, don’t drink.
Or it will make Jehovah sad.
But it doesn’t stick. Us born ins just got really good at sneaking around.
Rule 1. Don’t get caught
Rule 2. If caught, deny, deny, deny.
Rule 3. If more than a single witness, demand photos or video.
Rule 4. If it hits the fan, beg, plead, cry, roll on the floor....
yep an awesome foundation for morality.

Yes it has(can of worms explored). It is accepted by rank and file JWs that they enjoy the sacrifice of Christ Jesus as an extension of the little flock or 144,000.
Everything the GB has to say is directly to the “anointed”, but as Christ’s brothers, the great crowd rides their coattails into the Kingdom.
The Watchtower is written from the GB to the remnant of 144,000 still alive on earth. The 8 million rank and file feast at the breadcrumbs left over and take heart that they will gain a paradise earth while their masters attain heaven.
Yes this is a fabrication not supported by logical dissection of the scriptures.
But when the legitimate dissection takes place, this JW doctrine pales in comparison to the failings as a whole.
The religion is a cult.
The bible is a fictional work.
Nobody is going to heaven or hell or paradise.
for years , we were told to wait until 1975!.
the end was coming and we better be ready—or else!.
were you around during this “momentous “ time??
I was 3 years old in 75. My mom taught me to read just then. I was at Campbell Hall at UCSB. It was about Fred Franz and 1975 the year we were there. It was a big deal. Everyone was giddy. I can not find any reference to it online. He was in Los Angeles the weekend before.
Years later I learned about the silly bros and sis that sold businesses and properties before Armageddon came and about bros and sis chastised for keeping their investments in tact.
30 years later those rebellious JWs are sitting on, have sold, have passed on multi million dollar properties to their offspring in death or otherwise. Very few of which are still active JWs.
75 was foreshadow. Never to be repeated. Because nobody can afford shit that will appreciate like before.
The end time prediction will likely surface again. There aren’t any wealthy hangers on left who would wager it all on just around the corner. Their kids have inherited it all and have long left the WT.

What 2+2 said.
But seriously do we care what the just around the corner religion says?
this is what happened.
i had a sore tendon in my wrist.
i could work with it, but nevertheless the pain was there.
Demons and angels are a figment of man’s imagination.
We heal because our bodies heal.
I had the same shoulder and back condition as someone who chooses surgery.
I refuse surgery and make a full recovery.
Their surgery leads to failure and more surgeries.
I could sit back and claim I healed because Zach from Ghost Adventures visited me, but I would be lying.
I healed because my body is amazing.
Thats not to say adept sport surgeons aren’t worth their weight in gold, but it is to say supernatural is not involved.

Who disliked what i said? It’s spot on and you know it.

The mediator between a make believe god and the JW worshipers is the governing body of JWs in its present form.
They tell you how to behave, what you can study, what you should think about and how you should react to everything. It’s all in print, or online, or from the mouth of a CO or overachieving elder.
Jesus and the Revelation according to John is irrelevant.
