It is apparent that the Watchtower Society has been busy making
some doctrinal changes regarding the United Nations in Bible
prophecy. What you may not realize is what these changes can tell
you about the honesty of Watchtower leadership.
Please consider:
If you really believe everything you are taught as a Jehovah's
Witnesses, why do you need a scripture telling you that the U.N.
is a tool of Satan, a counterfeit of God's Kingdom? Shouldn't
that be an obvious deduction if you believe that,
A) Satan the Devil is real - and rules the world
B) God's Kingdom is a real government and man's only hope -
which the Devil seeks to defeat.
Simple isn't it? The Devil rules the world - and so puts up a
clever substitute for God's Kingdom.
Shouldn't such a message be shouted from the rooftops?
Shouldn't this Devilish deception be advertised, advertised,
advertised? ("The U.N. is from the Devil")
Why would the Society "softpedal" this? Why would they abandon
these interpretations completely?
BECAUSE THEY DON'T REALLY BELIEVE IN ANY OF IT! They have
become completely cynical - and ARE NOW JUST MAKING UP ANY
KIND OF DOCTRINE THAT SUITS THEIR PURPOSE, LIKE A BUSINESS.
They need to be nice to the U.N., you see. They don't want
empty-headed Witnesses going to U.N. headquarters and refering
to it as a "disgusting thing" in God's sight.
They need human rights agencies to put pressure on governments
like Europe, to keep their tax exemptions. You aren't going to
get that kind of service if some wiseguy downloads Watchtower
articles condemning the U.N. - and 'worldly governments' -
as tools of the Devil! They'd also like some help getting into
Red China or North Korea, if possible (in their dreams).
Take these changes to heart, you lurkers!
They are fooling you
They don't have any particular faith in the Bible at all.
They are 'making it up as they go along'.
The Watchtower is a business, pure and simple
and this cowardly change they try to "slip by"
proves it.
