Well, the “house of God” is defined in Isa 43:10; 2 Peter 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16-17; Eph 2:20-22 –
the anointed priesthood and spiritual temple of God. And the large majority today, are still found in the Wt., being led by such confusing
teachings that you presented.
But, interestingly, their “1000 years”, their “peaceful”
reign of Christ AFTER Armageddon, is also referred to as a time of judgment – “Judgment
Day” (Bible Teach, pgs 213-215) . So,
why are JWs being judged twice? No
wonder they tolerate Wt lies, thinking that they have a thousand years to
straighten themselves out.
Since the first century…
Matt 10:34 -37 -
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to
the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For
I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will
be the members of his own household.’
Heb 4:12 – “For the word of God is alive and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to
dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and
attitudes of the heart.”
Col 2:8 – “See to it that no one takes you captive
through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human
tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this
world rather than on Christ.”
Matt 24:24-25 – “For false christs and false prophets
will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible,
even the elect (anointed). 25 See, I have
told you beforehand.”
Psalm 55:21 – “His talk is smooth as butter, yet war
is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords.”
Rev 16:13-16 - And I saw three unclean spirits like
frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out
of the mouth of the beast, (organization) and out of the mouth of the false
prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing
signs, which go out to the kings of the earth (
Christ’s kings, Rev 1:5; 5:9-10) and
of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of
that great day of God Almighty. 15 “Behold, I am
coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his
garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”
16 And they gathered them together (the "saints") to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.
1 Tim 4:1 – “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter
times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving
spirits and doctrines of demons”
Every lie, every failed doctrine that Watchtower and its leaders have told, are not
from Christ who is Truth, the Word (John 1:1), but from “deceiving” and very convincing, spirits”.
2 Cor 10 4-5 – “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting
down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the
knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of
Christ”
Eph 5:6-7 – “Let no one deceive you with empty
words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of
disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers
with them.”
1 Cor. 10:21-22 – “You cannot drink the cup of the
Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table
and of the table of demons. 22 Or do
we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?”
Armageddon is a battle of Christ’s truth against the lies of
false prophets who deceive, “take captive” with false doctrine, empty words, empty
philosophy, and “surround” “the elect”/”saints”. Luke 21:20,24; 2 The ss 2:3-4; Rev 11:1-2;
Rev 20:7-9
God told Israel through Jeremiah, "This is what the Lord of Armies says: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are deluding you. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the Lord’s mouth." Jer 23:29
But what does Wt say? Don't be picky when it comes to your spiritual food. Eat it without complaining.
2 Cor 11: 13-15 - “For such people are false
apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of
Christ. 14 And no wonder, for
Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It
is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of
righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.”
The Wt. is what, 150 years old? It has changed the whole dynamics of God’s
word to convincing millions into devoting their lives to a blasphemous lie – “Jehovah’s
spirit-directed organization”. Zech 5:5-11; Luke 22:24-27; Matt 24:48-51; Rev
13:1-2, 4,5-7,11-12,15-17; Rev 18:4-8
