: As for defending the views of individual witnesses. I have no inclination or need to do so.

The point was that the Society claimed direct, active guidance from God. That's what I highlighted in red in the Watchtower quote. The fact that you "missed" this proves that you're in deep denial about this point and related issues.

My purpose in pointing out that an active, loyal JW understands the Society to mean what it says was to show you that your view of this matter is way out in left field. I challenge you to argue your viewpoint on a solid JW forum like Witnesses.net. You won't, because you know exactly what would happen. By denying that the Society is directly and actively guided by God -- not just via the Bible in your weaselly view, but personally, directly, actively and from moment to moment, just as I sit here personally, directly and actively typing on this keyboard -- you know perfectly well that they'd call you an apostate and ban you from the board.

: As for my further comments on the issue of active or direct inspiration (or not) from God or Christ, I refer you back to this post.

Do you really want me to point out how you completely sidestepped each and every direct question I asked and every point I made? Exactly as you've done in this post and in this thread and in many other threads?

Here, let's again try a simple question: does the Society teach that its leaders get information from God that they could not possibly get on their own?
