Hi
How could this be happening if this is truly God’s Org? Is it? Are we truly Boreans or are we blind followers? It’s time to figure it out on our own! There was no Org for almost 2000 years. I’d say we need to really study our Bi8bles without Org. interpretations and see if it really says what we’ve been told. I’ve heard recently the key is to try and see what the whole chapter is saying and what the 1st century Christian would have expected it to mean. I don’t believe it’s all that complicated.
I will attempt to answer that for you. I will start of with simple answers, and will go into more detail as time progresses.
"How could this be happening if this is truly God’s Org? Is it?"
Firstly, identifing whether Jehovah's Witnesses are God's people. Go back in time, to the days of Israel. 3 things set them apart as being Jehovah's possession, these are:
Called by God's personal name;
Monotheistic (one God concept);
Iconoclastic (no icons in worship)
In 1931, the Bible Students became known as Jehovah's Witnesses. They took upon Jehovah's name for themselves, as an identity. They also reject the trinity idea, and refuse to use icons in worship. They have a basic framework of the truth, for example, using scriptures to show there is no eternal hellfire for the wicked, and the above.
Hence, Jehovah's Witnesses, when adopting the name they now carry, in 1931, and underwent rededication, and too selected for themselves, the Name of God, as their Name, now becoming a "people for God's Name," namely "Jehovah's Witnesses." (Acts 15:14-17) They were thus, accepted and taken into the New Covenant by Jesus Christ, in the fateful year of 1931...and as such became members of the New Covenant in 1931...no mediator necessary to GET INTO THE COVENANT...they simply became "Israel," by becoming a "people for His [God's] Name." -- Acts 15:14-17 History tells us, they were the FIRST RELIGION TO DO THIS , and thus started the "Divine Name Movement," since that time. There is no INTERNATIONAL organization on the face of the earth today, that carries the Name of God upon themselves, even as we speak...that's internationally-speaking.
Jehovah's Witnesses, are UNIQUE ... from an international perspective. They were the FIRST in the Divine Name Movement... they started the whole thing... and they are, and still, the ONLY international group carrying the Divine Name upon themselves, and finally, they are clearly the LARGEST group carrying the Divine Name earthwide, bar none...
...that's
(a) the First to accept the Divine Name upon themselves,
(b) the Only international group carrying the Name upon themselves, and
(c) the largest group on earth, carrying the Divine Name upon themselves. Jehovah's Witnesses...history confirms.
They are unique, clearly.
Jehovah’s Witness ARE NOT the righteous group that they claim to be. They are in the same predicament as the Jewish nation in Jesus day, in an unapproved state.
Carrying Jehovah's name brings upon them a mighty responsibility. How important is Jehovah God's name? Is it not the most important thing? So, shouldnt the group carrying the most important name in the entire universe be as close to perfect as humanly possible?
Unfortunately, they are not. This will be explained in the next post.
