"Our clarified understanding of Matthew 24:14 also adjusts our understanding of the hailstonelike message foretold at Revelation 16:21. Further examination has revealed that the two scriptures complement each other.
So how was this “clarified understanding” obtained? In a dream?
These are two isolated texts from the New Testament. How hard is it to read them? Yet, the mind controllers need clarified understanding? Phew-y ! They seek absolute control by limiting accurate knowledge. It’s a cult.
ozziepost, "So how was this “clarified understanding” obtained? In a dream?" I have wondered that too, and brave enough to ask, they would just say, 1) They pray for their god's guidance 2) use the holy-spirit inspired book, the bible, and then pray again after discussion 3) then I would ask, how would they know what the answer was...said that if all on the GB, "voted" for the same thing (we both know all they really needed is a 2/3 majority, the remaining GB just had to fall in line to make it appear unanimous) I remember asking a GB member that it seemed they knew they knew info before other jws...he said it was not official until it was print in a WTS publication, as he picked up the recently delivered WT to his Bethel room off his desk. (Of course, we some GB shared their personal viewpoint with other jws before the printed version came out)
