The Watchtower (study edition), “Who Is Leading God’s People Today?”

Februar 2017 · pp.23-28 · par. 12 (p. 26); par. 13 (p. 26) · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction. In fact, the Watch Tower Publications Index includes the heading “Beliefs Clarified,” which lists adjustments in our Scriptural understanding since 1870.”

Study article on how the Governing Body functions; paragraph 12 concedes fallibility and then asks what evidence shows the Governing Body is the faithful slave. Paragraph 13 says holy spirit has helped the Governing Body grasp truths not previously understood.
