July 15th WT, the "other changed doctrine"

Isidore

"FEEDING MANY THROUGH THE HANDS OF A FEW" paragraph 14:

"However, once the last of the apostles died, the apostasy took root and flourished during a long growing season that lasted for many centuries. Additionally, during that time, the weeds became many and the blades of wheat were few. There was no consistent, organized channel for dispensing spiritual food."

"Jehovah's Witnesses believe that this parable pertains to the one true congregation of Jesus Christ's anointed followers. Beginning with Pentecost, 33 C.E., and continuing through the 19 centuries since then, this slavelike congregation has been feeding its members spiritually, doing so faithfully and discreetly . the one approved channel representing God's kingdom on earth in the "time of the end."" Watchtower 1981 March 1 p.24 Do You Appreciate the "Faithful and Discreet Slave"?

Looking at that 1981 WT quote.....

Does anyone else find it the height of irony that, if they had all lived another 32 years, the entire JW governing body of 1981, the ones that hounded Ray Franz mercilessly until they could find the flimsiest of excuses to disfellowship him for apostasy.....

...would all be guilty of apostasy today.

Every.....last....one of them.

So did Jehovah have an organization all those centuries or not?

And if this unorganized congregation faithfully and discreetly fed its members for 19 centuries, why the need for an organization and a GB in the "last days"?

Also, where were all those people who agreed with WT "truth" over those centuries, and why didn't Russell learn from them and join them?

If one was to look back you'll find that Jah set up only one organization in all history, and here they all are i'll list them all so it may be a long read. Moses, Aaron!

Obviously, Jehovah God didn't think it was all that important to feed anybody spiritual food for many centuries. He simply didn't care if Roman Catholcism took the lead to feed the people. He didn't care to feed his people who would be Protestants. He didn't care to establish any sort of program to edify them.

What stupid reasoning!

So where were Jehovah's people when we in Britain were being invaded by the Romans were they amongst the Roman Army and where were they during the Viking conquest did they also come over with the Normans we have plenty of Norman churches about? Maybe Henry the Eighth helped Jehovah by knocking down the Monastries and Abbeys.

Where are they maybe they can only be seen in the minds eye just like when Jesus showed up last century.

wha happened?

So the internet provides facts that the WT can't cover over anymore, so instead of insisting there was a line of annointed through the centuries, which we know is BS, now they admit that there are gaps in the lineage.

So how were they picked again?

This religion sounds like it's falling apart

What? The WTBTS changes their teachings!!!

This is shocking speech. Who can listen to it?

Remember everything printed is to stamp down a problem, whether real or perceived.

I'm sure they have gotten thousands of letters over the years asking "who was the slave" between 100AD and 1919. They are tired of dodging the question, so they pull some new light out of their backside.
