  RULES & REGULATIONS

  God has always communicated his will through individuals. Today,the WTS claims that Jehovah uses an organization to communicate his will.

  Why would Jehovah need more than 1 or 2 people to communicate his will?

  Has the Governing Body ever explained how they communicate with Jehovah? Or is it,12 men in a room voting on resolutions ? Wouldn't all the resolutions always be 12-0 if Jehovah was really using them?

  This may not be the answer you were looking for.

  But the Jehovah of the Old Testament is a jealous and seemigly insecure God, easily angered, one of harsh judgment whose words encouraged the treatment of women as property. He showed favoritism towards David and Solomon who broke numerous laws, prohibited intermarrying from those outside the true faith.

  Sounds a lot like JW leadership. If "Jehovah" doesn't communicate directly with them, he at least inspires a lot of their harsh, insecure judgmentalism.

  http://www.jwfiles.com/outline.htm Click the little blue buttons for scans! (So says the Witchtower!)They claim to speak in Jehovah’s name. Wt,3/15/1972, pg 189 ....commission to speak as a “prophet” in His name.... They claim to be the official mouthpiece and channel of Jehovah.

  1. Wt, 7/1/1943, pg 203 He merely uses his "servant" class to publish the interpretation after the Supreme Court by Christ Jesus reveals it.
  2. Wt, 7/1/1943, pg 205 Jehovah speaks to us through his Son....He has appointed his "faithful and wise servant", who is his visible mouthpiece...These directions from the Lord come to us as individuals...
  3. Informant(KM), 1/1956, pg 1, ...And how does he speak? Through his appointed channel of communication- his collective congregation of anointed ones...the Watchtower...to dispense Jehovah's communications.
  4. Wt, 6/15/1957, pg 370 identify Jehovah’s channel of communication for our day......respond to the directions of the “slave” as we would to the voice of God, because it is his provision.
  5. Wt, 1/15/1959, pg 40, 41 ....Jehovah thrust out his hand of power and touched their lips and put his word in their mouths.

  I like Gopher's answer.

  Also, the Bible isn't all that clear. Contradictions can be found. Sounds like WTS to me.

  They claim to be the official mouthpiece and channel of Jehovah. When You watch J R Brown video, he plainly states that they are not prophets and there is no one at Bethel or outside communicating with God. Interestingly how they have changed their tune from the many claims of the past.
