> By what evidence do we conclude that they are a provision by Jehovah?

That's for each of us to decide for ourselves. That's why Matthew 24:45 pointedly asks, "Who really is the faithful and discreet slave." If you've come to the conclusion that they are not who they say they are, that's your prerogative.

> (Note to the inexperienced: their word on it doesn't mean anything at all.)

Their actions reveal who they are (Matthew 24:14; Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 1:10; John 13:35).

> Does it seem reasonable to expect that these things would be done away with immediately, in some huge flash of light?

> > Yes, it is not only reasonable; it is required, since their claim to be God's only mouthpiece in modern times is based solely on their teaching that in 1919 Jesus chose them over the other nominal Christian denominations because they alone were doing his will, and that after a short period of "cleansing" they were released from captivity to Babylonish false religious beliefs and practices, in contrast with the other Christian religions whom Jesus rejected at that time because their form of worship was not pure.

Please re-read your answer. You stated that it is not only reasonable, but required, that all these false ideas would be done away with immediately because of their own claim to be God's mouthpiece in modern times? What kind of reasoning is that? If you're going to base your conclusion solely on their own claims, would it not only be reasonable, but required, that you acknowledge that they also claim that truth is revealed to them progressively, that they are not inspired, and that they have made, and will continue to make, mistakes?

> Research your WBTS literature. It's all right there in plain English, written by "God's mouthpiece."

In light of your response, I would suggest you do the same.
