Billy the Ex-Bethelite
It's been way too long since the Revelation book was revised and studied.
It's nearly a century since the Bible Students fulfilled prophecies by attending boring religious talkings at an Ohio, USA amusement park.

If the GB were a conduit, (premise)
the only thing coming out of them would be what Jehovah put through them. (Conclusion)
What does "examination" or "reflection" or "deep study" have to do with it?
Oh-wait! I know...I know!
What comes out of the GB is INTERPRETATION filtered through human ignorance.
So, let's revise the premise.
Jehovah gives the GB the scriptures (premise)
and the GB interpret the scriptures and produce guesses which are invariably WRONG. (conclusion)
Yep, that's sound more like it.
The Governing Body, the anointed, are no different from any other religious group.
God gives the scriptures (premise)
the religious interpreters add their best guess and what comes out is official Doctrine. (conclusion).
The claim of being the ONLY TRUE religion is like their claim of Truth: nothing but their own self-aggrandizing OPINION.
CONCLUSION:
If something were true--why change it?
If it weren't true--why did you say it was?
