“You can’t say you aren’t inspired, as the Governing Body alleges for itself, and still claim to be God’s channel of communication.123 If you aren’t inspired, then you’re not God’s channel. However, if you’re speaking as and claiming to be God’s channel, then you are, by definition, inspired. What the Governing Body wants is to have its cake and eat it too. If the Governing Body truly wants to be called the channel of God for communicating to his flock on earth today, then their new light had better be new revelations from God that enhance the current light, and not replace it. If it is replaced, then the old light wasn’t from God after all. It was the utterance of a false prophet. If old teachings are replaced, then how can we have confidence that the new teachings aren’t just more falsehood?”
