"Jehovah's organization has never claimed to be inspired."
Tacit admission that the Organization is an empty vessel. BTW, does it say that anywhere on the Organization’s website?
I’m sure there are active, believing JWs here, lurking and reading...doesn’t this bother you? How can an organization talk about “new light” without being inspired?
In a theological sense, inspiration is defined as “Divine guidance or influence exerted directly on the mind and soul.”
The JWs would agree that the ancient apostles were guided and influenced by the Holy Spirit...or “active force” as they define it. Why would God, who never changes, all of a sudden, in our day, decide that He isn’t going to inspire anyone. Yet He will give them “new light.” And “light” in this case is defined as “A state of awareness or understanding, especially as derived from a particular source.”
A “particular source,” eh? And what might that be?
The JWs seem to be involved in what many people might say are “weasel words,” which here could be defined as “sneaky” or “evasive.”
But what could be the Organization’s motivation possibly be to bill themselves as the uninspired kingdom of Jehovah, which should be accepted on the testimony of...who? Do not the scriptures say that in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established? And did not Amos say that surely the Lord God (or “Jehovah-God, if you wish) will do NOTHING save He will reveal it to His servants the prophets?
So it seems we have an uninspired organization that receives “new light” from a “particular source” that isn’t Jehovah.
I don’t blame anyone for choking on the words “false prophet” as it relates to religion in our day. But to state that one’s religious leaders aren’t inspired, in public, well, that’s another issue entirely! What are you guys paying them for? And why do you provide expense accounts, travel, and why would you spend hours studying the Watchtower and Awake! magazines?
As they say down South, “That just don’t hardly make no sense!”
BTW, I can find uninspired homeless people on the street who would work for a lot less money. Just fire the guys in Bethel first and I’ll send the other guys right over....
