During the days of Noah, he alone was the channel of information from God to man.
During the days of Moses, he alone was the channel of information from God to man.
During the days of the prophets, it was through those individuals whom God spoke.
Is it really so hard for you to believe that God continues to work in the same way today? Its not hard for me to conclude that... the scriptures certainly show that is how he has always worked in the past and I believe he still works that way today.
I actually believe that God uses certain people to say what He wants to say in the world today.
This is what is so hard for me to believe,
*** w52 8/15 p. 497 par. 4 God’s Spirit Essential to Maturity ***
They are ‘filled with the finest of the wheat’, that is, spiritual food and understanding of the highest excellence. In fact, to
them only does Jehovah reveal and ‘show his word’ and its hidden meaning. Truly, he “hath not dealt so with any [other] nation”. (Ps. 147:20) Thus this Psalm reveals the essential heart attitude in order to gain understanding by God’s spirit.
It also reveals the one and only channel by which the spirit and understanding are given, that is, the Lord’s organization, “Zion,” under the headship of Christ Jesus, “through whom all things are.”—1 Cor. 8:6,
In your mind, how can this organization claiming to be God's one and only channel by which the "SPIRIT and UNDERSTANDING" are given at the same time claim their not infallible? In the July 15, 2013 Watchtower, how many times did they say, (

2 Through the years, Jehovah’s servants have prayerfully studied Jesus’ prophecy about the last days.
They have sought to get a clearer understanding
*** w13 7/15 p. 3 par. 3 “Tell Us, When Will These Things Be?” ***
For a number of years,
we thought that the great tribulation began in 1914 with World War I and that “those days were cut short” by Jehovah in 1918 when the war ended so that the remnant would have the opportunity to preach the good news to all nations.
*** w13 7/15 p. 3 par. 3 “Tell Us, When Will These Things Be?” ***
Thus, the great tribulation
was thought to have three phases:
*** w13 7/15 p. 4 par. 4 “Tell Us, When Will These Things Be?” ***
4 Upon further examination of Jesus’ prophecy, however,
we perceived that a part of Jesus’ prophecy about the last days has two fulfillments.
*** w13 7/15 p. 4 par. 5 “Tell Us, When Will These Things Be?” ***
We also
discerned that the first part of the great tribulation did not begin in 1914.
*** w13 7/15 p. 7 par. 14 “Tell Us, When Will These Things Be?” ***
14 Does a further consideration of Jesus’ prophecy reveal that
our understanding of the timing of other significant events needs to be adjusted?
*** w13 7/15 p. 6 par. 10 “Tell Us, When Will These Things Be?” ***
Previously,
we thought that the judging of people as sheep or goats would take place during the entire period of the last days from 1914 onward.
I could go on, all the way back to 1919.
Noah, one man; Moses, one man; the prophets, "all those individuals".
Jam 1:16-17 (ESVST) 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with
whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
Why would God go from using a single individual with perfection, to having to use 8/14 men that don't pay attention to the "Spirit and Understanding" that are given to them?
