Flip-Flops

If the Watchtower is Jehovah’s only selected organization on earth and guided by holy spirit, why is it that the Watchtower keeps changing their understanding of His words in the Bible? Once would be acceptable. Twice, three times or even six times is not.

Whenever the Watchtower changes its mind on an issue it uses the “new light” mantra. It almost always manages to keep the rank and file Jehovah’s Witnesses happy.  Surely the “new light” mantra can only work for the first time a doctrine changes. How can you go from “new light” to “old light”, back to “new light” and then back to “old light” again. 

Would Jehovah really lead His own organization in such a manner?

Would he want His organization to embarrass him in such a manner?

Watchtower, 1973 July 1st p.402

Jehovah’s organization alone, in all the earth, is directed by God’s holy spirit or force (Zech 4:6) Only this organization functions for Jehovah’s purpose and to his praise. To it alone God’s Sacred Word, the Bible, is not a sealed book.
[…]
How very much true Christians appreciate associating with the only organization on earth that understands the ‘deep things of God’! Direction by God’s spirit enables Jehovah’s servants to have divine light in a world of spiritual darkness.
