How DOES Jehovah communicate with the governing body?
Good question, Francoise. Would it surprise you to learn that members of the Australia Branch Committee DO NOT believe that their decisions are from Holy Spirit. Instead they recognise that their decisions are made by imperfect men BUT they try to cooperate with the Spirit's leadings.
What does this mean? That the men themselves don't believe it's from H.S. even if the R&F do.
As far as the teachings of the FDS, perhaps they would say it's something like the way in which an 'anointed' JW 'knows' that they are of the 144,000. You know how we used to refer to the text at Romans 8:16 "The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are God's children." So perhaps in a similar way Holy Spirit 'bears witness' with the spirit of the FDS.
No, don't worry, everyone, I don't believe it either!
Cheers,
Ozzie
