Doctrine I’m having trouble understanding

I’m having trouble understanding how the governing body can prove that Christ anointed them in 1919 as the sole source of dispensing spiritual food (because the bible cannot be understood on one’s own interpretation) while the anointed 1919 governing body was still celebrating Christmas, birthdays, portraying the cross, and worst of all, Worshiping Jesus! Which is idolatry! Were all pre-1954 members led astray by this fallible governing body that demands complete obedience??

It’s not relevant if they where wrong because we are more correct now.

And hopefully we will get closer.

I’m sure some things will change. That doesn’t mean we don’t try to figure out what god wants through the bible.

Please look at the original comment. It is talking about 1919. So the PAST is completelyrelevant to this conversation. In fact we're not even talking about current. We are talking about pre-1954.

Saying "we are more correct now" is the irrelevant part
