35 Cults Exposed Jehovah's Witnesses Watch Tower

The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society (WTBTS), also known as the Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs), was formed as the Zion's Watch Tower in 1879 by Charles Taze Russell.

Because of his rejection of the concept of Hell, Russell began to challenge many other concepts in the Bible and ultimately added and removed the ones he didn't agree with until he built a theology that does not even mirror Christianity any longer. Many of these original retranslations and interpretations can be found in his series of books called, Studies in the Scriptures.

Jehovah's Witnesses deny the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection and His visible return. They teach that the first creative act of the Father was to create the spirit being, Archangel Michael, who later donned a physical body to be seen by his followers in the persona of Jesus. Additionally, they hold that as Jesus, the Archangel was a perfect man who became the Messiah at the time of his baptism. The resurrection of Jesus is said to be a spiritual one, not a physical one.

False Prophecies

As seen above in the salvation section, JWs have their own unique interpretation of the end-times events and of whom the Scriptures are speaking. They deny the doctrine of the rapture of the Church and are incessant date setters, with false prediction after false prediction about the timing of Armageddon.

Their most notable dates (which usually were followed by promises never to date-set again) include 1914, 1918, 1925, 1975 and 1989. When the 1914 date failed, rather than acknowledge it as a false prediction, they simply declared that Jesus had returned to the earth in invisible form. They continued setting Armageddon dates for future fulfillment.

In the Book of Galatians, the Apostle Paul warns about receiving another gospel from an angel who does not agree with the message of Christ:

Gal 1:8: But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

"...the heavenly messengers or angels of the Lord now used by the Lord in behalf of the remnant. These angels are invisible to human eyes and are there to carry out the orders of the Lord. No doubt they first hear the instruction which the Lord issues to his remnant and then these invisible messengers pass such instruction on to the remnant" (Vindication, volume III, 1932, p. 250).

"Again God put it in the mind of his people, by his angel, to act and to carry out his purposes" (Light, volume 1, 1930, p. 120).

Sadly, with their twisting of Scripture to make it read how they want it to read as opposed to accepting it as the Word of God, they have totally gotten lost in the process and have become yet another legalistic, man-made religion teaching you can work your way to heaven.

If God is love, and if God is justice, why has he allowed people to carry on believing in these lies for 40, 50 and even 60 years. Surely he would act, but people who are witnesses believe it is absolute truth, and that they are led by the holy spirit. I would know, i used to believe the same.

[ironmonkeypalm]

@CEEJLESS The Bible is absolute truth, not magazine publications in New York that twist scriptures. The Holy Spirit does not contradict scripture. Only a demon spirits do that like every other demon spirit who came after scriptures - JW's publications, book of Mormon, Koran, etc. twist scripture out of context and speak lowly of God's Word. God will carry out His justice. What do you think death is??? God did do something. He gave His Son and His Word to live by.

@CEEJLESS Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

@CEEJLESS God is not going to force people to do something they don't want to do. God has given every man a conscience to know their sins. All with a working conscience will be held accountable.

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

@ironmonkeypalm And that conscience comes by accepting Christ as your Savior. You become a born again follower of Christ who separates himself from the world. You take off the old and put on the new. The only prayer God ever hears of a non believer is a prayer for repentance and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. If you're not born again, God does not hear your prayers because sin is in the way.

May God bless.

[ironmonkeypalm]

@LT1HILLINGHOE Right, the Holy Spirit convicts your conscience of sin. What the sinner does after that is he either receives or rejects Christ Jesus. Right, a sinner cannot pray to the Father if he don't love the Son. The Holy Spirit seals the believer and creates Him to be a new creature.

John 16:8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

Judge Rutherford had a drinking problem and committed adultery. He smoked cigars and prophesied that the servants of Jehovah would return to Earth in 1925. He lived like a millionare during the depression and wrote Hitler in 1933; telling Hitler that the witnesses had much in common with the Nazis. He said that the American and English Jews were to blame for the world's problems. (1934 Yearbook). I could go on and on about Rutherford. He has been an embarrassment to the Society. But so what?

@CEEJLESS God gave us EVERY WORD OF WARNING concerning false prophecies and false gospels...He didn't leave us clueless...many just choose to remain so.
