The great tribulation is so close now , so close ,however in the meantime we need to complete our new H.Q.by 2016 , and 20 000 new K.H.`s have to be built just in the US to accommodate the great crowd that is going to come in while we Jehovah Witnesses meet in basements because of the persecution that`s soon to be upon us .
Sounds logical ? Does it not ?

How exactly does God communicate/direct the GB?
This is very easy to answer. No higher power is in contact with the GB in anyway whatsoever. They make it all up on their own, preach it as coming from a higher power, and sadly millions of people are brainwashed into believing and will obey them.
I was always thought there was a distinction between spirit "inspired" spirit "directed," the latter being applicable only if someone is working in harmony with standards for christians as set out in the bible/publications.......blah blah blah.
oh who am I kidding -basically the GB are bull shit artists or delusional or a bit of both, and it will come back and bite them on the ass one day.
Yes...They believe they "are directed by holy spirit", so you cant dispute anything because of their claim!
But simply saying and believing something does not make it a fact!
So how does this work?
Does the Holy Spirit direct what these men release as doctrines prior to them releasing it?
If so then the Holy Spirit gets it wrong too much for my liking.
Or is it a case that the men release doctrines based on their bible research (snigger) and the Holy Spirit adjusts when necessary?
If so why did it take years for organ transplants and minor blood fraction doctrines to be adjusted at the cost of lives?
Either way I can't follow it...if it is the first way then I don't want to follow a god who is dicking me around and if it is the second way then what I would be following is men...
Ergo I'm out...
As someone once so accurately stated, "Let's review! IT'S A CULT!" End of story!
just saying!

There is no 'how for God'. The old farts in Brooklyn ... Walkill ... wherever ... just bend over and pull something out of their butts.
Some 30 odd years ago, I asked both my parents at the same time "Is God directing the Watchtower?"
To me, this is THE question to answer. The reason: it doesn't matter whether the answer is Yes or No, it shows this group is f'ed up and shouldn't be taken seriously at all.
So, at exactly the same time, my Dad answers "No." and my Mom answers "Yes."
You should have seen the "Holy Shiite!" look pass between them. It was priceless. :0)
Just like smiddy said, build a sh** load of new kingdom halls, so jws can hide in basements.....wow !
" and as you hide, may the holy spirit direct the fds to sell all commerciallized halls" .......ya' know....im smellin something mighty rotten.
You mean Jehovah doesn't directly talk to them?
