The Watchtower Society has no right to claim the authority
of Moses for themselves.
How do I know? The Bible says so.
Here's Numbers 12:6-8:
"And he went on to say: "Hear my words, please. If there
came to be a prophet of yours for Jehovah, it would be
in a vision I would make myself known to him. In a dream
I would speak to him. Not so my servant Moses!... Mouth to mouth
I speak to him, and not riddles; and the appearance of Jehovah is what he
beholds. Why, then did you not fear to speak against my servant, Moses?"
So, in the midst of rebellion, God utters a simple truth. You can't get
closer to Him than direct conversation, face to face. Everything else
is second or third class - and ambiguous.
The Society rejected prophetic dreams and miraculous signs years ago.
Since the Watchtower has uttered SO MANY false prophecies over many
decades ( the End will come by 1918, 1925, the 1914 generation
won't pass away, etc) THEY DON'T EVEN COME UP TO THE first level
of "a prophet" with "a vision" - much less any Moses-like authority.
They are 'cut and paste' redactors, who patch together platitudes,
half-truths and endless quotations out of context to manufacture
the appearance of being spokesmen for God. They want all the privileges
of being prophets with NONE of the responsibility of being PROVED
AS FALSE PROPHETS.
And their claim of being the "faithful and discreet slave"?
How faithful is it to hold on to a deadly doctrine like no blood
transfusion - LONG AFTER THEY KNOW IT HAS BEEN DISPROVED?
How discreet is it for them to REJECT THE ADVICE OF THEIR OWN LAWYERS
AGAIN AND AGAIN - and end up humiliated and sued in public because
they covered up an evil like child molesting?
Moses? They want to be 'Moses'?
I'll tell you who they are
Jimmy Swaggart! - who, when he got caught with his pants down,
produced reams of literature asserting his God-given authority
as pastor - to maintain his claim on the checkbooks of his deluded
sheep!
History does repeat itself
May it do so again, as these spiritual hijackers in the Watchtower
encounter shameful defeat.
