: Those detractors tend to emphasis implications (so called �double-speak�) and de-emphasize explicit comments contrary to their own interpretations. I find that approach self-serving and self-defeating.
I would be very interested in seeing
one or two or those "explicit comments to the contrary." I have a hard time believing they exist. You are right about the WTS manipulating the minds of JWs with subtle implications and never coming right out and saying "We are perfectly
expressing the will of God," but you can't seriously believe that the WTS has ever countered itself with expressions that de-emphasize their authority and appointment from God. Do a search on the CD-ROM for "doing God's will" and see if
anyone besides JWs is ever mentioned. If not, then that leaves only one group doing it "right."
