If the Society is not "God's organization," can the Watchtower religion be truly "reformed" if it doesn't acknowledge that fact?
It seems that such an admission would have to be the 1st requirement for reformation. But if the GB admits that, then what?
If 6,000,000 Witnesses thought that the Society isn't God's organization, how many of them would continue to pay any attention to its GB? How many would still want to attend 5 meetings/week; good door-to-door with the Society's literature, etc., etc. etc.?
If the GB openly acknowledged that "The Watchtower is not, and never had been God,s organization," wouldn't that simply be the end of the Watchtower religion?
It looks like there are only two alternatives available to the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of Pennsylvania...
1] It can continue to exist only under the illusion that it is "God's organization", or
2] It will cease to exist.
Illustsration: What if Jesus was not God's Son, and therefore whom God did not resurrect from the dead? In order for the Christian religion to be reformed, wouldn't that fact have to be the first thing that needed to be reformed?
But if it was ever acknoledged that Jesus was not God's Son, then what would happen to the Christian religion. Wouldn't that be then end of Christianity?
So too, wouldn't the acknowledgement that "the Society is not God's organization" also be the end of 'Watchtoweranity?'
Therefore: It would seem that the Society cannot be reformed.
