Jehovah's Witnesses ..already in the 13th century

MacHislopp

Hello everyone,

Don't be surprised but it is…
true. Let's read:
" It is quite evident that the early Waldenses were
faithful witnesses of Jehovah ; and following are some of their leading teachings:

"1. Only the Holy Scriptures is to
be believed in matters pertaining to salvation. …"

Not bad…do you agree? What about the
point: "…Only the Holy Scriptures.."??
Finally what about the - modern - Jehovah's Witnesses ,
do they all accept the n° 1 - teaching -???

(The quote comes from the book:
"Theocratic Aid to Kingdom Publishers"
Lesson 78, page 307 .-
Published by the WTBS Inc. in 1945).

Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp

Well, that's some fascinating revisionist history.

And, heck, find a couple thousand more like em, and you'll be well on your way to having a faithful line of followers from the time of the gospels to the present.

If my memory serves me well there was a reference to Waldesians, might well have been QfR or like. But the idea was a continuous line of JW's through the times. I could buy that basic idea, but how about continuous line on Borgs/GB's?

There was an article--someone who has the CD should be able to find it easily.

The WBTS attempts to revise history and declare the Waldenses and the Anabaptists "JWs ahead of their time" is nothing more than a ruse to discredit apostates.

The WBTS states "Jehovah always works through an organization" bla bla bla but are never able to state where this "organization" was between the death of Christ and the birth of Charles Craze Ratherflawed.

Also by citing these examples, I keep in mind that there are NO Waldenses or Anabaptists around today to dispute the JW claims.

Interesting, eh?

I seem to remember a talk from many years ago that basically said, Jehovah has always had a visible representative on earth. When Adam and Eve sinned, it was the angels with the flaming sword - after Jesus and the apostles died off there were even in the "darkest times" a few who were trying to follow the Bible and worship God the best that they could = glimmers of future light......zzzzzzzzzzzzz

As the Catholic Church estimates the number of the Waldenses, whom the WTS refer to as faithfull Jehovah's Witnesses, as being 150,000 at its most fervent, it surely once again displays the WTS customary theological stupidity to then insist that only the first 144,000 adherents from Pentecost 33CE onward go to heaven.

According to the WTS some of those destined for heavenly life are still alive, which makes for some very peculiar mathematics.

Only an elitism with no boundaries can lead to such a blatant disregard for reason. Well, at least we know that there are no scarcity of clowns in the Brooklyn circus, now can we have someone shot out of a cannon please?

Modern day baptists, and mennonites are directly descended, religiously, from the anabaptists.

I certainly hope the JW's suffer the same eventuality as their forerunners, the Waldenses and Anabaptists - extinction.

MacHislopp...Bible tells us that Satan was a lier from the beginning.....that being said I read WatchTower Stuff and quote their stuff,but I'd never,ever,trust anything the WatchTower writes.Satan is a lier from the beginning and so is WatchTower material.

to show that another religion is false
as being false, thus allowing persons to see the
difference between false religion and true religion."
