  I have heard two sides to this thought.

  1. The society indicates that they are imperfect men and do not have any direct communication with God, only that they are sincere bible students.

  2. They claim that they are God's only visible organization.

  These two statements kinda disagree with each other. They kinda cancel out each other right? If a person admits that they do not have a personal line of communication with God that is ablove all other men, then how can they be for certain and publicly claim they are the only true religion? Who told them this?

  I want to do a search on my CD to find out what publications allude to both of these thoughts and compare them. But I have no idea what key word to search on. Maybe one of you'all have specific articles that you can point me to.

  Thank you in advance for all your kindness.

  Hi CLV,

  : These two statements kinda disagree with each other. They kinda cancel out each other right?

  Anyone with more than half a brain would agree.

  : If a person admits that they do not have a personal line of communication with God that is ablove all other men, then how can they be for certain and publicly claim they are the only true religion? Who told them this?

  They figured it out on their own.

  The Watchtower Society is talking out of both sides of its mouth at the same time here. Its leaders want the adulation that comes from being God's only spokesmen to mankind, but none of the responsibility. They claim not to be inspired, but expect all JWs (and in fact, all of mankind) to obey them as if God himself were speaking. This, despite the fact that they've changed their minds more than an OCD sufferer washes his hands. They've not gotten a single non-trivial prediction right.
