  Lies on the JW.org FAQ section

  by EndofMysteries in

  2. beliefs

  it's riddled with lies.

  here are a few, "are you an american sect?

  all of our teachings are based on the bible, not on the writings of some religious leader in the united states.1 thessalonians 2:13.. we follow jesus christ, not any human leader.matthew 23:8-10.. .

  Who Was Your Founder?

  The modern-day organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses began at the end of the 19th century. At that time, a small group of Bible students who lived near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the United States, began a systematic analysis of the Bible. They compared the doctrines taught by the churches with what the Bible really teaches. They began publishing what they learned in books, newspapers, and the journal that is now called The Watchtower—Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom.

  Among that group of sincere Bible students was a man named Charles Taze Russell. While Russell took the lead in the Bible education work at that time and was the first editor of The Watchtower, he was not the founder of a new religion. The goal of Russell and the other Bible Students, as the group was then known, was to promote the teachings of Jesus Christ and to follow the practices of the first-century Christian congregation. Since Jesus is the Founder of Christianity, we view him as the founder of our organization.—Colossians 1:18-20.

  So it appears that the short answer is "Jesus Christ". But hold up, it actually says that Jesus is the founder of Christianity, so we view him as the founder of our organization. Therefore, does that mean that we can conclude that Jesus Christ is the founder of all religions based on Christianity ??

  1914 countdown card in 2014 Yearbook

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the 2014 yearbook has a scan of the 1914 countdown card.

  it does not say whether this was published by the watchtower or independently, so please let me know if you have any further information about it.

  in typical offensive fashion, the yearbook blames the members rather than themselves for the false expectations held for 1914.. some bible students even carried a countdown card so that they could mark off each passing day.

  it's only fair that the psychology of apostates be assessed as they're intent on analyzing the psychology of jehovah's witnesses.

  understanding mind control among jehovah's witnesses.

  I am sorry things did not go as planned. Thanks for sharing. I feel the fading process is going to get harder to pull off.
