What about Michael? Wasn't there a flip flop on him?
WHO IS MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL?
- An angel, not the Son of God - Zion's Watch Tower 1879, November p.4
- The Papacy - Zion's Watch Tower 1879
December p.6
- Jesus, not an angel - Zion's Watch Tower March,
1883, p.456
- The Pope of Rome
- The Finished Mystery, 1917 p.188 and 1926 Edition, p.188
- Jesus Christ, the Son of God - 1930's onwards (see Reasoning From the
Scriptures, 1985, p.218)
See here - JW Facts, third subheading down.
All they have to do is read the first chapter of Hebrews to see Jesus is not Michael!!
I had no idea they used to think he was the pope tho...LOL....weird! This religion has always had the most bizarre teachings. Witnesses are quite the acrobats aren't they.
Superior authorities of Romans 13:
-- Worldly governments (pre-Rutherford)
-- God and Christ and not worldly governments (Rutherford)
-- Back to worldly governments (post-Rutherford) (Aren't you glad JWs don't follow men?)
Resurrection for men of Sodom and Gomorrah?
-- Yes (WT, 7/1879, p. 8)
-- No (WT, 6/1/52, p. 338)
-- Yes (WT, 8/1/65, p. 479)
-- No (WT, 6/1/88, p. 31)
But they are NOT returning to previous points of view. They are tacking into the wind. (WT, 12/1/81, p. 27)
