An Organization That Tells...LIES!!!

An Organization That Tells...LIES!!!



One of the things the Watchtower publications have emphasized to 7 million Jehovah's Witnesses over the years, is that a Christian can be NO PART of a religious organization that tells lies. Take for example this quote:

*** it-2 p. 245 Lie ***

Especially serious have been the religious lies, as they have endangered the future life of persons deceived by them. Said Jesus Christ: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you traverse sea and dry land to make one proselyte, and when he becomes one you make him a subject for Gehenna twice as much so as yourselves.” (Mt 23:15) The exchange of God’s truth for “the lie,” the falsehood of idolatry, can cause a person to become a practicer of what is degrading and vile.—Ro 1:24-32.

Ask yourself the following questions:

1) Is 1914 a true teaching from God? (A teaching that the JW organization/International Bible Students has held out to the general public for close to 140 years -- SEE FOOTNOTE BELOW.) If not, what responsibility do Jehovah's Witnesses bear before God for speaking and teaching, yes, spreading this falsehood worldwide? -- Matthew 5:19; Psalms 50:16; Revelation 21:8; Revelation 22:15.

Also, Revelation 18:4 would certainly have to be given serious consideration here, since individuals who do not "flee" known wrongdoing will be punished the same as leadership. They would "share in the sins" and "receive of the plagues" of leadership. -- 1 Corinthians 10:14

For example,

“9 And as for the prophet, in case he gets fooled and actually speaks a word, I myself, Jehovah, have fooled that prophet; and I will stretch out my hand against him and annihilate him from the midst of my people Israel. 10 And they will have to bear their error. The error of the inquirer will prove to be just the same as the error of the prophet,” (Ezekiel 14:9-10)

2) The United Nations said the Watchtower Society were willing NGO participants for ten (10) years, no trickery involved. See link: http://www.un.org/dpi/ngosection/pdfs/watchtower.pdf However, the Watchtower Society says they were tricked/misled/misinformed...they only wanted to use the library. And yet, we find upon investigation, the Watchtower magazine itself condemns any church organization who becomes a NGO with the United Nations. (See June 1st, 1991 Watchtower magazine page 17, paragraph 10, 11.)

So, who would you say is lying here, the United Nations or the Governing Body???

3) Is the cover page of the May 15th, 1984 Watchtower which mentions, "the generation which shall not past away," A BIG LIE since everyone on the picture is NOW DEAD (and everyone on the picture were Bethelites and be verified as deceased)???

“But as for the cowards and those without faith and those who are disgusting in their filth and murderers and fornicators and those practicing spiritism and idolaters and all the liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur. This means the second death.”” (Revelation 21:8)

“Outside are the dogs and those who practice spiritism and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone liking and carrying on a lie.’” (Revelation 22:15)

Therefore,

All people who are going to the Lake of Fire, for "practicing sin" can be safely said TO HAVE BLASPHEMED GOD'S SPIRIT.

“And everyone who has this hope set upon him purifies himself just as that one is pure. 4 Everyone who practices sin is also practicing lawlessness, and so sin is lawlessness.” (1 John 3:3-4)

“Everyone remaining in union with him does not practice sin; no one that practices sin has either seen him or come to know him.” (1 John 3:6)

“He who carries on sin originates with the Devil, because the Devil has been sinning from [the] beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, namely, to break up the works of the Devil. 9 Everyone who has been born from God does not carry on sin, because His [reproductive] seed remains in such one, and he cannot practice sin, because he has been born from God.” (1 John 3:8-9)

*** w55 1/1 pp. 7-8 Part 1—Early Voices (1870-1878) ***

Shortly after this Russell and about five others began to meet together regularly from 1870 to 1875 to make a systematic study of the Bible. Note the following description of the change-over of thinking that was the fruitage of these five years of joint Bible study.

“[We] soon began to see that we were living somewhere near the close of the Gospel age, and near the time when the Lord had declared that the wise, watching ones of his children should come to a clear knowledge of his plan. . . . We came to see something of the love of God, how it had made provision for all mankind, how all must be awakened from the tomb in order that God’s loving plan might be testified to them, and how all who exercise faith in Christ’s redemptive work and render obedience in harmony with the knowledge of God’s will they will then receive, might then (through Christ’s merit) be brought back into full harmony with God, and be granted everlasting life. . . . We came to recognize the difference between our Lord as ‘the man who gave himself,’ and as the Lord who would come again, a spirit being. We saw that spirit-beings can be present, and yet invisible to men. . . . We felt greatly grieved at the error of Second Adventists who were expecting Christ in the flesh, and teaching that the world and all in it except Second Adventists would be burned up in 1873 or 1874, whose time-settings and disappointments and crude ideas generally of the object and manner of his coming brought more or less reproach upon us and upon all who longed for and proclaimed his coming Kingdom. These wrong views so generally held of both the object and manner of the Lord’s return led me to write a pamphlet—The Object and Manner of Our Lord’s Return, of which some 50,000 copies were published.”

In January, 1876, Charles Russell for the first time received a copy of the monthly magazine The Herald of the Morning as published by the Rochester group headed by Nelson H. Barbour. A meeting was soon arranged between Russell and Barbour, since it was discovered that their views were the same concerning Christ’s second coming as being invisible. As a result the Pittsburgh Bible group of nearly thirty decided to affiliate with the Rochester group slightly larger in number. Russell became a joint editor along with Barbour for The Herald of the Morning. The Pittsburgh group on Russell’s initiative agreed to finance a small printing place in Rochester for the joint printing undertakings. It was also decided to publish a bound book containing their joint views, the work being completed by 1877. The 194-page publication was entitled “Three Worlds or Plan of Redemption,” by Barbour and Russell as joint authors. During this time Russell at the age of twenty-five began to sell out his business interests and went full time into the preaching work, going from city to city to talk to various gatherings of the public, on the streets and, Sundays, in Protestant churches, where he could arrange such with the clergy.

This book set forth their belief that Christ’s second presence began invisibly in the fall of 1874 and thereby commenced a forty-year harvest period. Then, remarkably accurately, they set forth the year 1914 as the end of the Gentile times.—Luke 21:24.

“Hence, it was in B.C. 606, that God’s kingdom ended, the diadem was removed, and all the earth given up to the Gentiles. 2520 years from B.C. 606 will end in A.D. 1914, or forty years from 1874; and this forty years upon which we have now entered is to be such ‘a time of trouble as never was since there was a nation.’ And during this forty years, the kingdom of God is to be set up (but not in the flesh, ‘the natural first and afterwards the spiritual’), the Jews are to be restored, the Gentile kingdoms broken in pieces ‘like a potter’s vessel,’ and the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ, and the judgment age introduced.”—Three Worlds or Plan of Redemption, pp. 83, 189.

Re: An Organization That Tells...LIES!!!

Many Jehovah's Witnesses when first learning about the UN/NGO situation, are beginning to say the Governing Body unknowingly became a NGO to use the library. Have you heard this too? See link: http://www.topix.net/forum/religion/jehovahs-witness/TRM4433HTQ4HICVJ6/p2 However, if we go back and closely analyze the letter of March 4, 2004 written by the United Nations on Watchtower Society's involvement as NGOs with the UN ( http://www.un.org/dpi/ngosection/pdfs/watchtower.pdf), we will notice they are saying they do not have to resort to any type of trickery or deceit to get an organization to become a NGO with the Department Public Information. They do not have to resort to such things, as the Watchtower Society has inferred. That was clearly shown in the letter.

Therefore, the reason we know the Watchtower Society was deliberately lying about this whole situation was because as of June 1991, the same year the WTS applied to become NGOs with the UN, the WTS publically condemned any church organization for becoming a NGO with the UN.-- See June 1st, 1991 Watchtower page 17, paragraphs 10-11.

So the Watchtower Society knew it was wrong to become a NGO with the UN, per their OWN publications! Which means, this is out and out hypocrisy on the WTS's part, just as Jesus clearly condemned.

Jesus said:

"...Watch out for the leaven of the Pharisees, which is HYPOCRISY." -- Luke 12:1

If the Watchtower Society fully knew it was wrong to be a NGO, then how could they be persuaded, tricked or duped into becoming a NGO with the United Nations, and induced to do so for a library card???

The Governing Body already knew it was wrong to become an NGO, so no amount of trickery could have fooled them into becoming one, even for a library card. That is just common sense.

To get detailed information on the above June 1st, 1991 Watchtower article, that all Jehovah's Witnesses studied worldwide at the Kingdom hall, please see the following link:
