Inspiration

“If we were following a man undoubtedly it would be different with us; undoubtedly one human idea would contradict another and that which was light one or two or six years ago would be regarded as darkness now: But with God there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning, and so it is with truth; any knowledge or light coming from God must be like its author.”

“It should be expected that the Lord would have a means of communication to his people on earth, and he has clearly shown that the magazine called The Watchtower is used for that purpose.”

“Those who are convinced that The Watchtower is publishing the opinion or expression of a man should not waste time in looking at it at all, because a man’s opinion proves nothing except when that opinion is based wholly upon the Word of God. Those who believe that God uses TheWatchtower as a means of communicating to his people, or of calling their attention to his prophecies, should study The Watchtower with thankfulness of heart and give Jehovah God and Christ Jesus all the honor and credit and give neither honor nor credit to any man.”

“This is not giving any credit to the magazine's publishers, but it is due to the great Author of the Bible with its truths and prophecies and now interprets its prophecies.”

“Jehovah is the source of all knowledge ... And how does he speak? Through his appointed channel of communication-his collective congregation of anointed ones ... The Watchtower magazine, the main instrument used by the congregation to dispense Jehovah's communication.”

“Whom has God actually used as his prophet? ... Jehovah's witnesses are deeply grateful today that God has been pleased to use them.”

“So, does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of dangers and declare things to come? ... This ‘prophet’ was not a man, but a body of men and women ... known at that time as International Bible Students. Today they are known as Jehovah's Christian Witnesses.”

Q: In fact, it (The Watchtower) is set forth directly as God's Word, isn't it?

So, according to the Watchtower, God's word comes forth through The Watchtower, The Watchtower is God's means of communication, the Watchtower Society is a prophet whose duty it is to warn of dangers and declare future events and The Watchtower is set forth as God's word without any qualification whatsoever. Does that sound like they do not claim inspiration to you?
