    ~~~"At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. For FALSE Christs and FALSE PROPHETS will rise up and give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the Chosen Ones." Mt 24:23,24

    What "form of religion" has announced that Christ has already returned (in 1919), <u>invisibly</u> and chosen THEM as the ONLY ones he has approved over all the earth?

    ~~~"Having a FORM of godly devotion but proving false to its power, and from these turn away, For from these arise those men who will slyly work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins" 2Tim 3:5-6

    What group boasts of going from house to house and draws people into "conversations" about their religions, no matter WHAT religion they are.....and tries to convince them that only by following THEM will they escape destruction?

    ~~~"If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men." Romans 12:18

    What religion claims to "love" but teaches hate and instructs its followers who they can speak to or associate with while advocating cruel shunning?

    ~~~"This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down his life for his friends." John 15:12-13

    What religion, while claiming to be Christian, demands that its followers not have any social contact with members of their own families that have left their religion?

    ~~~"Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law". Romans 13:10

    What religion brags of humility but declares they are better than every other religion on earth?

    ~~~"Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world." James 1:27

    What religion claims to follow Jesus' command of "doing for others", but does not have ONE charity?

    ~~~"Therefore, putting away lying, “ Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another."Eph 4:25

    What religion has developed "Theocratic Warfare" as justified lying to those they feel don't "deserve to know (the) truth"?

    ALL the above questions apply to the Watchtower Society, the uninspired spiritual leaders of Jehovah's Witnesses earthwide.

    ~~~Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved" (Acts 4:12). And Paul said that "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself" (2 Corinthians 5:19). We are NOT told that we can ONLY reach salvation through the WTS!

    The message is clear: Faith in Jesus is the only way to God!

    Will you allow the men of the WTS deceiving words to cause mistrust in the Savior?

    Will you let the musings and opinions of mere humans carry more weight than the message of Almighty God?

    Please don't. Take Jesus at His word. Put your faith in HIM and believe that He gave His life as the sacrifice for your sins on the Cross of Calvary.

    You'll find the joy that comes from being set free from the penalty and power of sin and from obeying the False Christs and False Prophets that send representitives that come to YOUR doors with THEIR FALSE Gospel message.

    Great post, Sunspot! I never noticed until lately that a ton of questions from the Revelation book have something to do with 1919, 1914, 1918, etc. What arrogance from the WTS to say that every scripture applies to Rutherford going to jail.

    BTW I ordered "Churches that Abuse" (along with some Jimi Hendrix for cover) and it should be here on Tuesday. I look forward to noticing the parallels.

    I am of the opinion that unless someone possesses some undisputable answers and facts...rather than guesses presented as such...they should ALL be held in suspicion of being false prophets!

    Being faithful does not mean we should be prey to these kinds of people and their mere guesses. imo

    I'm going to remember this scripture because at the District Assembly this summer titled "Follow The Christ" if they claim the FDS or more specifically The Governing Body is "The Christ" (as some are predicting), I'm going to use this scripture!

    Great post! I think I'll be using some of these scriptures to plant seeds of doubt in the minds of the people who come to offer me a free bible study, if they ever show up.

    I signed up on-line over 2 weeks ago.

    Thanks, Sunspot for proper food at the proper time!

    If You use scriptures as a defense or offense against them...they will just say you are misunderstanding and taking the wrong ones literal.

    They alone have understanding of which words should be taken literal and which should not....NOT you.

    As long as they continue to believe this...you are not going to gain any ground quoting from "their" book.

    Think of it like this.....in their mind they are the author of the bible...and you are trying to convince them they are wrong about what they wrote and what it means.

    How far are you going to get in that?

    I would first try to destroy that notion in their heads and point it out to them so they will not be able to use this misconception as a defense....puts you on equal ground......

    I hope that helps you.

    Thanks for the nice comments! I am always extremely grateful when something helps others to see how spiritually dangerous and emotionally harmful the Watchtower Society IS.

    At times it is difficult to stand back and take an objective look at how manipulative they are and how they can (and do) dupe and deceive people into believing that THEY are the "only way" to Christ.

    ***"At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it."***

    How very simple is that? How easy it IS to understand.

    So HOW is it that we were persuaded and convinced that Christ DID come---

    and came invisibly so that the men who write for the WTS could cleverly say that THEY were "chosen BY him" so we would listen to them!

    They even conveniently concocted a "story" to fit their delusions....and a date of 1919 that this all supposedly took place!!! We were told that we MUST come into the WT organization to be "pleasing to God"....and to escape impending destruction.

    How did we EVER BELIEVE this stuff?

    The bible foretold this would happen:

    ***"Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves." Acts 20:30

    ***"Teacher," they asked, "when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?" He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, '**The time is near**.' DO NOT FOLLOW THEM. Luke 21: 7,8

    There are nearly 7 million nice people that have gotten mixed up in their web of lies and deceit. They need the prayers, advice and guidance of those who do not look to the men of the Watchtower Society for ANY spiritual direction.

    Yeah, but Mouthy...I am still in shock when I SEE this stuff anyway!

    Had I truly known what was "in my bible", I would like to think I would not have been such an easy target for their scam. I didn't even know how many books there were in the bible! I tried reading Revelations once---got scared, and went and put the bible away on a shelf!
