Well, if you substitute "Governing Body" for "Jehovah" in any WT literature you read, the literature (and the religion) makes a lot more sense.
Try it sometime!
In that sense then, it is quite easy to see how the meetings glorify Jehovah [the Governing Body]. Scarcely a meeting goes by without at least one reference to "Matthew 24:45-47" and the scriptures' lone reference to a "faithful and discreet slave".
Most prayers these days gives thanks to, and pray for blessing on, the "faithful and discreet slave".
In any meeting part in which there is room for 10 or more comments, generally at least one of them will mention "the slave says this" or "the organization recommends that".

Boasting sessions glorify Jehovah by heaping praise on Him. This praise is based on false premises, such as fulfilling things that He has not done despite its running 135 years late. And telling us that we are happy, when that is not the case.
True glory, there is none.

Good points. I was thinking how getting dressed up gives jehovah glory. And yet, it wt corp sets the dress standards, not jehovah, and not the individual jws. If individuals were free to dress the way they wanted, then THEY would be expressing themselves to their god. At any rate, how a person dresses has nothing to do w 'worshipping in SPIRIT and TRUTH'. Jws have absolutely NO idea how that might be done.
