  What are some of the more exceptional self-authenticating claims made by Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  let's start the ball rolling with two connected claims.. the religion of jehovah’s witnesses is the one true religion.

  all other religions are satanic, including all the churches of christendom..

  <<Can this Ian person PROVE that this organization was chosen by Jesus in 1919?>>

  No, but that is what the GB is claiming.

  1. The GB is God’s sole channel of communication to mankind and has been since April 1919.

  2. Jehovah completely trusts the GB/F&DS and so should all mankind.

  3. If you don’t trust the Faithful Slave Jesus is helpless to save you and you will be destroyed at Armageddon.

  4. Angels are guiding the GB.

  5. The doors of God’s arc-like organization are closing fast.

  Ian Ribinson writes:

  1. They Are God’s Sole Channel of Communication on Earth.
  2. Their New World Translation (NWT) Is the Most Accurate Bible – they also discourage external linguistic or historical critiques, relying on their own scholars (whose credentials are often questioned).
  3. They Were Chosen by Jesus in 1919
  4. Their Predictions About the End Times Are Still True – Even though past prophecies (1914, 1925, 1975, "this generation" teaching) have failed, they maintain that their overall prophetic framework is correct.
  5. Only They Truly Understand the Bible – They claim that without their literature, one cannot correctly understand the Bible.
  6. Everyone Outside the Organization Is Misled by Satan

  6 Only Jehovah’s Witnesses will survive Armageddon.

  7 Only Jehovah's Witnesses understand the Bible.

  8 There are no true Christians outside of the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

  9 The Governing Body's voice is the same as Jehovah's!

  w57 6/15 p. 370 par. 7 - "It is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the “slave” as we would to the voice of God, because it is His provision."

  Add that pair, to this pair

  3. If you don't trust the Governing Body you don't trust Jehovah.

  4. If you leave our organization you leave Jehovah.

  Examples of Watchtower flawed interpretation of Bible passages?

  asking jehovah’s witnesses to interpret specific passages is a great way to demonstrate their interpretive abuse.

  got any clear examples?.

  It is quite easy to love a person who sacrifices much for us such as a devoted family member; someone who would rescue us at great cost to themselves; who would choose to experience our pain and sorrow to identify with our need and struggles.

  Si yes, it makes sense.

  Here is one by P. Kelly

  The wtbts cherry picked scripture to support the ban on beards for brothers who had congregational duties.

  Decades later, cherry picked scripture to support there's wasn't any reason why brothers shouldn't have beards.

  The same brothers that preached anti-beard, now are all wearing beards. All because of the new mandate handed down by their leadership.

  Hilarious!

  

  Ultimately, there never was any precedent set in the bible to wear or not to wear.
