How can Jehovah's Witnesses say that the " new light " the Watchtower Society receives is coming from God

Question

if and when it can change??

Walton T: If the Watchtower admits that they are no perfect, I do not understand what qualifies them to be the only channel of communication between God and people? What are the qualifictions? Is it fair to say that the WTS is NOT the only true channel of communication between God and men because it admits to make mistakes, several of them?

Answer 1

God says that he doesn't change, he is the same today as he was in the past and will be in the future, the WT changes, you'll be surprised who C. T. Russell used for guidance.

Answer 2

The New Light Doctrine is based on Proverbs 4:18. When you read the entire chapter, it appears that the verse is often misapplied to changing doctrine.

A key point to remember, that is often missed is NEW Light, should NOT contradict the old light. This would mean an error in the previous teaching.

For example, regarding the generation teaching:

3 changes in 12 years. 1st- people alive in 1914 (adults, then babies), 2nd (1995) the twisted generation and as of Feb. 8, 2008, it applies to the annointed.

If u MOVE ahead of the old light, while it is current, you are branded an apostate, despite the fact you may be right. This means, if you refuse to accept an ERROR, you can be labeled an apostate.

hummmm, WhatWouldJesusDO???

Errors are OK until the Pharasies say something else.
New Light or CYA after making a mistake??

Answer 3

Simple, they don’t say that. We feel he helps guild them – but several Watchtower articles have stated neither the magazines nor the organization claim to be infallible. There are not elite profits or anything – everyone works together. You will find ideas like that surfing sites that promote only a negative attitude. Do more neutral research.
New ideas will arise, old ones will go. The truth has a long way to advance – everyday it becomes clearer.

Answer 4

By their own fanatical beliefs. This "new light" they are refering are old lights from Satan to mislead people in these last days knowing that his time now is so short and Satan is almost ready for the final judgement for his confinement in the bottomless abyss as prophesied in the book of Revelation.

Answer 5

The anointed remnant, "the faithful and discreet slave" (Matthew 24:45) are just that. Anointed by holy spirit. And if Christ is the head of the congregation, then he surely oversees and directs EVERYTHING that takes place in the congregation. The information we receive, the progress of the preaching work.....everything.

Of course they're not infallible. They are human. And things do need to be readjusted from time to time.

Answer 6

Advice The apostle Paul gave Timothy: “Further, turn down foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing they produce fights. But a slave of the Lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle toward all, qualified to teach, keeping himself restrained under evil, instructing with mildness those not favorably disposed.”—
Tim. 2:23-25

Answer 7
