Due to the volume of questions for the GB, may I suggest you review his Post#3 ( http://www.hourglass2.org/wwwboard/messages/181558.html ) where I think he addressed your question in saying:
The book, 'The Nations Shall Know That I am Jehovah - How?' states in Chapter 4, after a long convoluted discussion, that the modern-day anointed class are a prophet like (and even greater than) the prophet Ezekiel; a prophet that is commissioned to speak in the Divine Name! That is, and must be by its very nature, a claim to being inspired. A claim that the organization has also denied. It is almost as if we teach two different belief systems at the same time. When the heat is turned up on one system, we point to our anchor in the other system. It seems almost too convenient to me, yet we have fallen into the same trap that many organized religions have.While I fully appreciate and understand the premise of the chapter, and indeed the entire book, it has become clear to me that we are making claims that are not authorized by Jehovah. Further, the real prophet Ezekiel, in a prophetic vision, bored a hole into the Temple in Jerusalem. The inner Holy was only accessible to the High Priest, who typified Jesus Christ. Yet other priests were in the Holy of Holies engaging in things that were detestable to Jehovah.
Perhaps, through this forum, we can begin to see how the Governing Body has usurped the role of our High Priest, Jesus Christ, and has dared to go where even the angels will not tread. I hope to contribute to this exposure as a member of the Governing Body. Many others here are already doing a fine job. I am just one among you.
It is time for the truth to be opened up to you so that you can see what steps you may wish to take.

This letter posted to you may seem stronger than anything I have earlier stated. And you are right, because I am now ready to make some moves here, and see what comes of it. I am not inspired. I am not a Prophet. I am not specially commissioned to do some special act. But, like Schindler, I may be able to do some good in the position I have. I will do all I can before I am identified or end my earthly course.
