A Really Dumb Error in New Study Book (page 2)

I don't understand what all the fuss is about? Since when did the WTS let the "facts" interfere with their idiotic, self-serving dogma? Maverick

For those confused about the Watch Tower Publishing Corporation's writings about the holy spirit, I submit the following: :-) Watchtower October 1, 1932 p.294 "When the Lord came to his temple, in 1918, and the holy spirit as advocate, helper and comforter was removed." ***

With the coming of the Lord to his temple and the gathering together unto himself of the chosen ones (2 Thess. 2:1) the holy spirit would there cease to function as a paraclete or advocate for the church. (Preservation, WTBTS 1932, p.46) ***

By his spirit, the holy spirit, Jehovah God guides or leads his people up to a certain point of time, when "the comforter" was taken away, which would necessarily occur when Jesus, the Head of his organization, came to the temple and gathered unto himself those whom he found faithful when he, as the great Judge began his judgment, in 1918. (Preservation, WTBTS 1932, p. 193 -194)

That's mind-blowing, gary!!

I wonder if that's generally known amongst the R&F?

This just in from Jehovah's (confused) earthly organization . . . . The holy spirit, which Jehovah prophesied that he would pour out in the last days, has not ceased to operate, for the remnant are still baptizing disciples of Christ in the name of that spirit. (Holy Spirit The Force Behind The Coming New Order, WTBTS, 1976, p. 148) *** Huh?

I think actually they are baptizing in the name of "The Spirit DIRECTED Organization".

That seems like a difference to me.

If the Holy Spirit was taken away in 1918, doesn't that suggest that any "new light" since that time might not be an accurate understanding but simply the mistaken notions of sinful men?

Such being the case, one would have to agreewith the comment Johnny Cip made not long ago to the effect that "I want to learn the truth that was approved by Jesus when he came to the temple in 1918."

He did not ask about himself, his future, or even the plight of mankind.

Implied message: and you shouldn't be concerned with that stuff either.

Secondary smarmy message/stupid JW belief: Moses asked god's name, but he really knew it already

Good catch Proplog

Nathan, Here is the actual book Jesus read before he selected the Watch Tower Printing Inc. to be his book business on earth.

Maverick:

After reading a thread like this, and after I pick my jaw off the floor in astonishment----I think what you've said IS the bottom-line statement to sum it all up nicely......

Gary:

Now I'm off to the "Quotes" site to go further into what YOU wrote. VERY interesting! Either I never heard that before, or it was just one of those "points" that I glossed over while Jdub cuz I didn't understand the "deeper things" most of the time! LOL!

And a note to "Quotes"........I LOVE YOUR SITE!!!

hugs,

Annie
