    Truth needs a channel? What about an ear? Are we all deaf but the Governing Body? Let's vote. Who's deafer than the Governing Body? Because they don't have an ear to hear what the spirit says to the congregation, then nobody does? Please explain.

    Another thing. What the Watchtower is doing is teaching us how to be in God's image, but Bible says it is how we are already. Why? Why do we need to learn it if we are it?

    At the opening of the seventh seal, there are seven trumpet blasts, the first six of which comprise the fifth vision. These six trumpet blasts herald expressions of Jehovah’s judgment on mankind. The fifth and sixth trumpets also introduce the first and second woes.

    Because God puts in place super smart leaders to show us the best way to be human. That's how it's always been, silly.

    Interpretations of the bible are derived with the same intellectual rigor as mankkelis academic work and his phd: They are simply made up on the spot.

    Symbolism pointing to more symbolism? What is this a National Treasure plotline?

    If that's the case then I was the first man on the moon and I have a doctorate in point making.

    bohm and sab : Calm down and dont resort to name calling. You can't study the bible without interpretations. The GB has many times gone out of their way to ensure that the properties of the master are taken care of. You were once a part of that property but unfortunately, not anymore. Granted, SPIRITUALITY is a NEED not a WANT, This need had to be satisfied through constant study of the bible with the injection of interpretation consistent with the entire buble truth and that is what the GB ensures to do from time to time. Does being castigation fill that need?
