  In Exodus 23:4 Jehovah established this law: “If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to take it back to him.”
  

  If JWs were really His people, Jehovah would have ensured they never go wrong in their teaching which is in effect much more than mere “wandering.” If Jehovah is concerned about wandering animals of enemies of His chosen people, much more concern should have been shown by Him towards His modern-day chosen people.

  Yet the changes they have made are too many. (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UrjfNBy6jlZ8lSibVe7VSRgihTxkwqbrLUzIHLGFH-E/edit)

  Jehovah is not the God of Jehovah’s Witnesses
  

  Some of us know that well. What would you say is the object of their worship?

  Whynot

  I would say that they worship the organization and its governing body.

  There have been many organizations or individuals who have exploited the bible, particularly the book of Revelation to heighten attention to the literature they were selling , even as far back into the 19th century.

  Jesus has returned or is going to return by their calculated time or date etc.
  

  These were many times deliberate acts of charlatanism just like the WTS/JWS from since its beginning and is still actively doing so.

  The God in Exodus is Yahweh who was a half crazy solider god. JDubs represent their Jehovah as this Yahweh like Jehovah = Yahweh and vica verca. But that is nonsense. Jdubs god is some sort of hybrid of Jesus and Yahweh. Yahweh is not the only god in old testament. El or El Shaiddai was one of them. And if I remember correctly he created earth.

  It is bit unclear if Raymundus Martini invented the name Jehovah or was it via masoretes. Catholic church claims Jehovah is their "invention" by this Martini. Dunno.

  Anyway the whole Jehovah thing is rubbish.

  And yes their god is more gb today.

  They don't obey Jesus either who said: “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man" (Mathew 24:26, 27) which clearly prohibits anyone heralding of Messiah's arrival in whatsoever manner. Yet the very purpose of WT is to herald the coming of Messiah making it confused--He is present in the Kingdom Power from 1914 guiding the preaching the activity.
