- Christendom Exposed as the Promoter of False Worship
7 Now, in the age of television, we have TV preachers exploiting that medium with every kind of theatrical trick and psychological device to beguile the masses and empty the pockets of the flock. How appropriate is Jeremiah’s denunciation even now, some 2,600 years later! “For from the least one of them even to the greatest one of them, everyone is making for himself unjust gain; and from the prophet even to the priest, each one is acting falsely.” At the same time, none of them want to accept the challenge of the true Christian ministry, face-to-face with the people, from house to house. Only Jehovah’s Witnesses—the anointed Jeremiah class and the “great crowd”—have accepted that responsibility.—Jeremiah 6:13; Acts 20:20, 21.
According to this April 01, 1988, Watchtower study, here are the TV preacher charlatans who exploit their members and empty the pockets from their flock. They live in luxury with large homes, private jets, and plenty of money in the bank.
The Watchtower article wants you to know how these hucksters exploit their TV audience with theatrical tricks and psychological devices. It states: “For from the least one of them even to the greatest one of them, everyone is making for himself unjust gain; and from the prophet even to the priest, each one is acting falsely.”
Here is huckster and charlatan Stephen Lett on JW.Broadcasting ( Jehovah's Witnesses own TV studios and production) asking for donations. He states, '' The amount of money flowing out will be much greater than the amount of money coming in at this time.''
Stephen Lett wants the congregation members to contribute more money so that 1,600 new Kingdom Halls can be built or renovated in the United States.
Here is Samuel Herd being forced to announce that they ( Governing Body) have stopped building projects, are sending special pioneers back home, cutting back on the branches, layoffs at Bethel, and will now only print the magazines twice a month.
