Every Governing Body Decision is from Jehovah

    And yet, regular Witnesses accept this:

    a) Jehovah is infallible

    b) Jehovah is directing the Watchtower

    c) Despite Jehovah's overseeing, the Organization makes mistakes.

    It doesn't down on them that there's a contradiction in this. All they can say is: "Well, Jehovah is pleased to use imperfect men to do his work. One can expect mistakes to occur, but Jehovah corrects them when the time is right".

    There's no winning this discussion.

    Some people are just in too deep and just too deluded to convince.

    Have you ever tried to convince a devout Catholic that the Pope isn't "God's representative"? Or a TBM ( true believing Mormon ) that the Mormon President isn't the True Prophet? It's a hopeless task.

    There are many JWs who aren't so brainwashed. They have a good laugh at GB comments about "tight pants" and take with something of a pinch of salt the pronouncements coming from Brooklyn. With others - probably best just to leave them in their own delusional world.

    How do you convince a JW that every decision that comes from the Governing Body is not from God?

    My mom who is a pioneer said that the students are getting their work book a month early, then proceeded to say " Jehovah knows what we need".

    How do you convince a JW that every meeting part, every KM, every WT, every book, every brochure, every tract, every video is not from the "faithful and discreet slave"? It's physically impossible for the "slave", now numbering only 7 aged men, to be directly involved in all of it. Period.
