A second way that Satan tries to stop all Christians from reflecting God's glory is by ridicule. This tactic should come as no surprise. During his ministry on earth, Jesus Christ was ridiculed -- laughed at, sneered at, made fun of, treated insolently, and even spit upon. (Mark 5:40; Luke 16:14; 18:32)
Ya, didn't David Koresh tell his followers the exact same thing to explain their persecution? Every single religion can quote the above scriptures to 'prove' that they're Christs' "true followers" but it doesn't mean squat.
"no, we`re not prophets, we just interpret the Bible, and there`s no rule against that in the Bible..." ...but the problem is that they actually in several issues of their publications claim to be Gods prophet on earth, that God is using them as their "channel" (and what is someone used as Gods channel, if not a prophet?!), it was even stated once that angels were the messengers of God, that brought the "divine lights" to the WTBTS.
If you dare question the WTBTS or its GB the first thing the BOE does is ask the 'loyalty' question, "Do you still believe the organisation is the FDS appointed by Jesus to keep watch over all his belongings"?
Deceivers? I don't believe they are deceivers because one can only deceive one's self.
They are evil. They destroy people and families with their fear and terror tactics and are proud of their accomplishments.
The elders are just as guilty as the Governing Body because they implement all the orders from headquarters just as the SS officers carried out orders during WWII against the Jews.
