    It may be the case that the Governing Body admits to not being infallible. They may admit to not being divinely inspired, however their actions suggest that this is an admission in word only, because in deed they behave as though they are infallible and have a G.d given right to dictate their religious terms and beliefs on others, without the right to question, I might add.


    If a humble state existed and claims of being fallible and not divinely inspired were expressed as a living truth in this religion, then the followers would be free to explore their own opinions beneath the umbrella of the Governing Bodies protection. Instead we see a punitive, dictatorial system quiet prepared to break families apart and disfellowship people for having a contrary opinion and to in-still the order of a single administrative voice at the cost of millions of individuals, who are also no more fallible and not divinely inspired.


    The Jehovah Witness claim many things, including being the, 'faithful and discrete slave'. They are sincere people, no doubt, but they arose form Christianity an imperial religion, an American culture of imperialism, and were shaped by Rutherford, a bumptious individual with a domineering personality who fostered this belief in the Jehovah Witness of being the chosen people, while himself being a very shady character.

    One also imagines that the faithful and discrete slave would have a basic understanding of how science works in G.d's plan for humanity. Thus any religion claiming the literal Biblical impossibilities of Genesis will never be accepted as the faithful and discrete slave by the thinking theist.
