![]() The leaders of this organization, the Governing Body, are said to be appointed by Christ and the only means by which he directs his true followers today. "Come to Jehovah's organization for salvation" Watchtower 1981 Nov 15 p.212 Watchtower makes this a critical issue by saying association with this particular organization is essential for salvation. Whilst there may be ambiguity around whether the Watch Tower Society is a legal or theocratic instrument, Watchtower quotes show that Watch Tower and Jehovah's Organization is used interchangeably. To be part of "Jehovah's organization" requires identifying as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, following the directions coming from the Watch Tower Society. The Watch Tower Society, in its many forms, is promoted as representative of Jehovah's modern day organization. Watchtower makes the claim that "Jehovah has always guided his servants in an organized way." ( You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth p.192) If that is the case, how were they guided and organised during the dark ages? What group represented God's organization immediately prior to the formation of the Watch Tower Society in the 1884 by Charles Russell, and why didn't Russell just follow them? If Jehovah has always had an organisation, why didn't Russell join it, instead of starting a new one?
