Look Friend,
You can babble all you want about whether or not the WTS claims they are inspired by God. Most of the posters on this board, myself included, have first - hand knowledge of what the WTS has claimed, implied, ect. regarding
the authority under which they operate, impart 'meat in due season' and decide what is and what isn't the 'truth'. We are not merely un-informed people off the street who have no previous knowledge about what claims the WTS has made or
what they require their followers to believe. It was "inculcated" into us time and time again that disagreeing with the WTS was tantamount to rejecting Jehovah God. That the 'TRUTH' was the 'TRUTH' because it didn't originate with these
'servants' but with Jehovah.
If I had the resources, I could show you many examples in WTS publications where this idea is promulgated.
I'm sure that if you made it known on this board that you would like some examples of where the
WTS has made claims of it's Divine guidance, or how we must accept what it teaches as being from Jehovah, there are some posters here that have an extensive collection of WTS material who would be more than willing to oblige you.
Have a
nice day,
Harold
