by Hiddenwindow in

What is the HIDDEN purpose of the Watchtower corporation?

by Terry in

why does the average man or woman on the street only have a vague awareness of who jehovah's witnesses are and what they stand for?

isn't it weird they know next to nothing after over a hundred years of door to door work???.

ask yourself why this has been such an ineffective ministry.. one actor, tom cruise, has raised more awareness about his own religion (scientology) than all the watchtower magazines placed at a million households.

Can you imagine Christ and his apostles incorporating the faith?

Why incorporate?, don't the GB trust their disciples? LOL!

Could be that they scheme to MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES, under the guise of
worshiping Yah God? They anoint themselves, (Acts 10:38) made themselves Kings
of God's Kingdom, they rule without Christ, and anyone who desires to really
follow Christ, they cast out of the congregations, for they make disciples
after their own selves ( after their own understanding)
( Matt 23:15 )(Luke 21:8)( Ats 20:30)

compare Apostle Paul's words below, evidently this sort of thing happened
even before the Apostles
left the scene:(1 Corinthians 4:8 )
"Already you are filled; already you have been enriched; you have reigned
without us; and I would that you reigned, that *we* also might reign with you."

They should have waited upon Christ to say, "Come up here", But they have seated
themselves in the highest seat. ( Proverbs 25:7 )( Ps 69:29 )( Is 24:21 )( Micah 1:3 )

Isaiah 40:4
Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places
shall be made straight And the rough places smooth" see also Ezekiel 17:24

Watchtower VIDEO "Keep Watching" (week of Feb 11)

by V in

trudy

Thanks, I hope JW's will see it.

When the judicial committee had me in their court, I told them that when I examined the
origins of my religion, I discovered the leaders of the Watchtower had been measuring the
passage ways of the Pyramid Geza to confirm their 1914 date. One of the elders sat up,
and said,"Well, no, I don't believe that", and then the presiding Elder piped up to say, "yes
brother, they did."

I would think that sort of thing would be enough to make anyone examine the origins of one's
own religion.

I was talking to a devout Mormon. She was trying to persuade me to come to her church. I told her
I honestly couldn't because I know about the bloody history of it.

Then she said,"You no doubt got that from the Apostates."

LOL!

This is the PURPOSE OF THE WATCHTOWER found in the 1963 issues. I hadn't realized it was changed.
( the last three paragraphs)

Thus viewed, "The Watchtower" stands as a watchman atop a tower. Alert to what is going on, awake to
note signs of danger, faithful to point out the way of escape. It announces Jehovah's kingdom
established by Christ's enthronement in heaven, feeds his kingdom joint-heirs with spiritual food.

~says nothing about feeding the so called 'other sheep'. LOL!

cheers men of good will with glorious prospects of eternal life in a paradise earth, comforts us
with the resurrection of promise for the dead. It is dogmatic, but has a confident ring in it's voice,
because it is based on God's Word, It does not privately interpret prophecy, but calls attention
to physical facts, sets them alongside prophecy, and you see for yourself now will the two match, how
accurately Jehovah interprets his own prophecy. ( then how come they have so many errors if God is
doing it for them?)
In the interests of our salvation, it keeps sharp and faithful focus on Bible truth, and views
religious news generally.
Be watchful in these perilous times, "God admonishes. So keep on the watch by regularly reading '
The Watchtower."

Why didn't they recommend regularly reading God's WORD?

we know why.

An elder told me, "The Bible was not written for you, and you are not to privately interpret
the scriptures"..........MAN was I hot!

For I know the Bible is written for 'the man of God', that is anyone who seeks God.

See 2 Tim 3:16.
"Every scripture [is] divinely inspired, and profitable for teaching, for conviction,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be complete,
fully fitted to every good work."

This isn't for me???????????? How dare they teach such things?

This is one of the reasons I know the Watchtower is the synagogue of Satan. It has a
name that it is alive, but it is not. *see book of Rev.

Revelation 18:7
So much as she has ~glorified herself~ and lived luxuriously, so much torment and
grief give to her. Because she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and I am not a widow;
and I shall in no wise see grief: for this reason in one day shall her plagues come,
death and grief and famine,
( famine for the word, and death for the lack of it )

One should always wait upon Christ to be glorified.
It is apparent the Watchtower leaders have anointed themselves. There is no proof
of their anointing.
Where is their power?

Christ didn't even glorify himself! (John 8:54)( Heb 5:5 )

Yet the religious leaders of the Watchtower as well other religious organizations
have already claimed to be glorified and claimed to be the anointed of GOD. They say
"we are the Sons of God" and you ( the other sheep ) are not God's children. God is not
your Father, they tell us.
Again, they are not waiting for Christ to say, "Come up here to this seat."

They have put themselves into the highest seat before he arrives, already ruling
without Christ. These are the Kings of the Earth. But God's people are of heaven,
that is, of God, who are of the elected, who still await Christ's decision. Our
hope is that he will say, "come up here".

Friends, I enjoy reading your comments.

I found this scripture in Micah 3:5-6 which fits the description of
the Watchtower leaders as well other denominational princes.
(Darby translation)

"Thus says Jehovah concerning the prophets that
cause my people to err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace!
but whoso puts not into their mouths- they prepare war against him:
therefore you shall have night without a vision; and it shall be dark
unto you, without divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets,
and the day shall be black over them."

compare:
Ephesians 5:11
"do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
also reprove [them],

I cannot go back into the teachings of the Watchtower. They accuse members of
the body of Christ of apostasy.

1 John 2:11
But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness,
and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes."

Would the Governing Body ever suggest ...

by sacolton in

that active spouses should leave their "non-believing" or "apostate" spouse?.

the reason i ask is that when i asked my wife if she would follow this doctrine should it ever be activated.

by the wtbts.

Spiritual endangerment, according to WT teaching, is anything taught other than what the
Watchtower teaches.

Who made them Christ?

Christ did not alter his teachings, ( Rev 2:25)
nor does he have sheep in two folds, as depicted
in one of the Watchtower magazines. It showed one group inside a
protected fenced area and the others outside. This is not accord
to Christ's teachings.

Christs sheep are Jews first, and then
the gentiles who also became believers in THE WORD, and he made
them one to be one fold.

It will be an interesting time when Christ appears and says,
"Why say Lord Lord and you don't to the things I say?" ( Luke 6:46 )

Just like the Scribes and Pharisees, they cast out those who
listened to Christ. Some believed upon Christ but wouldn't follow
him for fear of the Jews, fear the religious leaders would cast them
out and so they stayed in Jerusalem to meet starvation and death.

It wouldn't surprise me if one day the religious leaders of the Watchtower
will instruct their followers to divorce an unbelieving mate.(of WT doctrine)
Satan does not want to lose those he holds in prison.
( ps 146:7 Eccles 4:14, Is 42:4

Christ came to free the prisoners, if only they would listen to THE WORD
God gave him to give to his people.
John 6:40 see Darby translation.
The JW's are being robbed.
(Revelation 3:11
I come quickly: hold fast what you have, that no one take thy crown."
2 Thess 2:14-15 )
