I don't have the exact articles offhand but Russell taught the Jews would be grouped back and have Israel again. After he died and Rutherfords failed predictions, he decided to cut that belief saying it was all symbolic. They dropped that belief then it ends up happening. If holy spirit was directing anything, it obviously didn't want people to believe in them so made them drop what would have been their only correct prediction ever.
The most proof that the WT was directed by Holy Spirit was when they dropped a teaching/prediction immediately before it actually came true!

Good point, it's funny how they thought this guy was so great yet most don't know he said in one of his books holy spirit no longer works he got his information directly from angel's. -

Yup! Can't believe that for Rutherfords ENTIRE reign, they taught holy spirit was gone. That Jesus returned so holy spirit no longer needed. THAT is how it became that one can only know 'the truth' through them, because he admitted previously holy spirit could teach ANYBODY.
When he died and knorr took over, slowly holy spirit was put back in EXCEPT they never commented on it and for some reason only GB could get it.
So since the WT was wrong on angels and it going away, I'd love to see the article on how everybody gets holy spirit and can learn the scriptures on their own to only through them.
