Watchtower Jul 22 - Jesus directed the GB on how to deal with Covid (page 3)

"If they're not inspired how does Jesus communicate with the these guys? As for not being infallible, they tell their followers to obey even if it seems unreasonable."

What does being "inspired" mean?

What does it mean when a movie or TV show is said to be 'inspired by a trust story or real events'?

What does it mean when someone asks 'what inspired that song?'

Inspired mean where the idea came from. Yes the governing body is inspired because their ideas come from the Bible, but the problem is that the Bible is not clear on matters of modern day.

While many in the world were uncertain about what course to take, we were encouraged to wear face coverings when out in public and to practice physical distancing.

Strange though that all those instructions from the Crazy Eight were nearly a full month after the secular authorities had already said and done the exact same thing. As others have noted, the instructions were simple cut and past from the CDC and WHO! Would claiming that they did it at Jesus behest make them liars?

If they're not inspired how does Jesus communicate with the these guys? As for not being infallible, they tell their followers to obey even if it seems unreasonable.

According to the GB Update No. 3 Jackson says this direction is something that they 'really feel' -

"The Governing Body really felt Jehovah's direction when making that decision and we were excited to share it. Less than 2 hours after our meeting, the Breaking News was posted"

But they are confused as to whether this special feeling that they get is being done by Jesus or Jehovah.

A thumbs up, maybe more for everyone's comments. Surely learned more from your comments than the WTS.

road to nowhere

I am really surprised they can do anything in a 2 hour window. Not the usual impression from most announcements

With the jw covid death rate so much higher than other jurisdictions,

and them saying Jesus directed their covid response either

A. For some perverse reason they are artificially inflating their covid stats and think the publishers can’t do basic math.

B. Dr. Theresa Tam is a better doctor than Jesus, or

C. The governing body are completely full of shit.

@Listener==> One Super PIMI sister who was formerly close to one exdub family member of mine was ecstatic after hearing a talk where one of the GB(2.0) claimed that "Jehovah had a hand in influencing humankind's medical community to create the COVID-19 vaccine" and "Since this is the case, we as Witnesses can continue to still preach and get people to come to worship him and come to His kingdom for salvation! Our God is magnificent, everyone!" and other declarations such as these--which we all SIDE-EYED.

WT is not giving humankind any credit for these scientific advancements. They want people to feel that the diety they are worshipping deserves it all.

Just for comparison , below is a link to the Church of England's guidelines. ( They are , according to the Society , directed by Satan the Devil. ) I honestly don't see anything different in the way that the Watchtower Society has directed matters that shows any specific direction from Jesus. If anything , the Church of England seems a lot more organised in terms of available material - I see nothing similar on the JW dot Org website.

Hiddleswife:

I think it takes 7 years of university to have the skill set to create a vaccine.

Why would Jehovah bless university when the watchtower condemns it?
