IS THEWATCHTOWER

SOCIETY A FALSEPROPHET?

&WHAT DOES THEBIBLE SAY ABOUTFALSE PROPHETS?


2/27

It is one thing to claim to be something BUT it is another thing toprove it !

Anyone can claim to be a prophet of YAHWEH GOD but unless they are able to prove that they are, then they are a false prophet! Many people throughout themillenia of time since the time of Moses have come claiming to be prophets of YAHWEH, (the God of Israel). We see examples of this as mentioned by the

prophet Jeremiah in the Tanakh (The Old Testament).

"A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophetsprophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means ; and my people love[to have it] so: and what will ye do in the end thereof ?"- Jeremiah 5:30-31

"Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall notsee the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peacein this place. Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in myname: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake untothem: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination , and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart . -Jeremiah 14:13-14. (Before Israel`s

captivity to Babylonian in 606B.C.).

"I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name , saying, Ihave dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall [this] be in the heart of theprophets that prophesy lies ? yea, [they are] prophets of the deceit of their ownheart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreamswhich they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten myname for Baal."-Jeremiah 23:25-27.

"[Is] not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer [that]breaketh the rock in pieces?Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal mywords every one from his neighbour. B ehold, I [am] against the prophets, saiththe LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.Behold, I [am] against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, anddo tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness;

yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit thispeople at all, saith the LORD. " - Jeremiah 23:29-32.

What Is The Standard In The Tanakh (The Old Testament),

By Which Prophets Were Judged True Or False?

"But the prophet, which shall presume t o speak a word in my name , which Ihave not commanded him to speak , or that shall speak in the name of othergods , even that prophet shall die . And if thou say in thine heart, How shall weknow the word which the LORD hath not spoken?When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not,nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but ]the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

- Deuteronomy 18:20-22.

There you have it! The Torah is clear! It is so important not to listen to false prophets because false prophets:-....prophesy (predict & teach) lies;-....prophesy unto you a false vision & DIVINATION (witchcraft / bewitchment /deception), Please Note: Divination is one of the many occult practices whichYAHWEH condemns in Deuteronomy 18:9-14 and is tantamount to calling upon afalse `god.`-....prophesy LIES in the name of YAHWEH (or Jehovah), which is a violation of

the third of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:7);-.... cause people to err from the truth & keep people from coming to the truth!

Jesus Christ, Israel`s Messiah, the Saviour of the whole world said,"Beware of false prophets , which come to you in sheeps clothing , butinwardly they are ravening wolves .Ye shall know them by their fruits . Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt treebringeth forth evil fruit .A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring

forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them ." -Matthew 7:15-20

The fruit of a fruit tree determines what type of tree it is . The fruit of an apple treeis apples. The fruit of an orange tree is oranges.


4/27

The fruit of a Christian is, "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

-(Read Galatians 5:22-23). The fruit of a prophet is their prophesies, & ......

Likewise, the fruit of a false prophet is false prophesy ( even if it`s justone false prediction ). If their predictions are false then their teachings alsoCANNOT BE TRUSTED!

Remember: "When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thingfollow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath notspoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not beafraid of him." Deuteronomy 18:22.

And don`t forget it!!!!

Has The Watchtower Ever Claimed To be A Prophet?

Included in this article I have pasted scanned photocopies of documents published by Charles Taze Russell (the founder of the Watchtower Society whose followersare called `Jehovah`s Witnesses`), as well as other articles published by theWatchtower since after the passing away of Charles Taze Russell. You are invitedto approach this with an open mind, view it & to then judge for yourself .

YAHWEH`s reputation is put on the line by anyone who claims to be a prophet!

YAHWEH`s challenge to all of the false religions & `gods` is quite clear:

"Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong [reasons,] saiththe King of Jacob. Let them bring [them] forth, and shew us what shallhappen: let them shew the former things, what they [be,] that we mayconsider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for tocome.Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye [are]

gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold [it]together. B ehold, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of nought: anabomination [is he that] chooseth you." -Isaiah 41:21-24.

YAHWEH GOD does not tolerate false prophets DEUTERONOMY 18:20; 2 PETER 2:1-3!

FIRSTLY LET`S LOOK AT DOCTRINAL SHIFTING


5/27

A classical mark of all false teachers is when they take a radicle position BUT then have B ibleverses put on them that they can`t handle,... they then adjust their position, AND they keepadjusting their doctrinal position OR prophecies made, but without really changing all their allegiance .

BEFORE AFTER

Catholicism:-no man could get to heaven unless he kept the mass.

-Protestants & other professing Christians who are not RomanCatholic in their doctrines are called heretics & alienated fromGod (lost ).

-Purgatory

- Not to eat red meat during lent .

-The Bible was not to be read in the English language becausethat was regarded as heresy (In England 1409A.D.). It had to beread in Latin . Only the `priest` could interpret scripture.

Catholicism:- Today however there are all kinds of explanations about thatnow. e.g./ Only if he doesn `t know he should always go.

-Protestants & other professing Christians who are not RomanCatholics are regarded as Separated Brethren`.

-Purgatory not really taught or enforced.since Vatican 2 Council.

-Abstaining from red meat during Lent, no longer compulsorysince Vatican 2 Council.

-NOW they encourage people to read their own Catholic`Bibles` & have their own `Bible` study groups in English.

(This outward conformity lead to a split: Roman CatholicOrthodox vs `Born Again` Catholic).

Charismatic:- You `re not saved unless you talk in tongues.

-Loss of salvation (Arminian ism)

- Extra Revelation` equally inspired as scripture, throughsupposed `prophets` & `apostles`.

Charismatic:- Today it is "You get saved before you talk in tongues, andTHEN you can talk in tongues.

-Eternal Security.

- No extra revelation` & the Sufficiency of scripture. There

are only apostles in he sense of Missionaries & church planters, & only prophets in the sense of teachers.

Seventh Day Adventist:-You have to keep the Sabbath to be Saved.

-Follows all the teachings of Ellen G White.

Seventh Day Adventist:(BUT After being constantly bombarded with John 3:16;Ephesians 2:8-9 ) they now confess:-You are saved by grace through faith BUT you must keep theSabbath to stay saved.

(BUT However after then being confronted with the Books of Romans & Galatians, they backed off again & then come back saying NO YOU DON`T KEEP THE SABBATH TO STAYSAVED, YOU KEEP IT BECAUSE YOU LOVE GOD & IFYOU LOVE GOD YOU WILL KEEP HISCOMMANDMENTS).

-No longer strictly follows all the teachings of Ellen G. White.There are even Sabbatarians that follow some of E.G.White`steachings but now eat meat.

Mormonism:-Polygamist Marriage in the Mormon temple is necessary for salvation.

Mormonism (LDS) : -No Polygamist marriage practiced BUT marriage in theMormon temple IS still essential for Mormon salvation`.(BUT IS STILL PRACTICED BY FUNDAMENTALIST


6/27

-No Black person was accepted in to the so-called Melchizadec priesthood` (a Mormon missionary ).

-The Death penalty (so-called blood atonement`) for anyonewho deserted the religion & `testimony ` of Joseph Smith &

Bringham Young, e.t.c

MORMON GROUPS IN THE U.S.A. TODAY).-Black people are since 1974 accepted into the false

priesthood.

-The Mormon version of `blood atonement` is not practices bythe modern LDS cult. (BUT IS STILL PRACTICED BYFUNDAMENTALIST MORMON GROUPS IN THE U.S.A.

TODAY).

The Family (Children Of `God`):-Free love` taught & practiced .-Women encouraged to be Hookers for `Jesus`.

The Family (Children Of `God`):-Free `love` no longer practiced.- Still very , but not as loose morals.

The Watchtower (`Jehovah`s Witnesses`):

THE ALPHA AND OMEGA OF REVELATION

Refers to Jehovah God, not Jesus. (Awake!, August 22,1978, page 28).

Blood Transfusions or Blood products Allowed-Consolation 25th Dec 1940 page 19

Use of Blood Fractions NOT Allowed by the Society- Awake! 8th JAN 1954 page 24-Awake 8th Sept 1956 page 20

Hemophilia treatments are wrong.- Awake22nd Feb 1975 page 30

The Watchtower (`Jehovah`s Witnesses`):

THE ALPHA AND OMEGA OF REVELATION

Refers to Jesus Christ. (Watchtower, October 1, 1978,page 15).

Notice the rapid change of truth and interpretation of scripture in just two months! (However they still do notbelieve the Deity of Christ in spite of what it collectivelysays in Isaiah 41:4; 44:6-8; 48:12-13; Revelation 1:7-8,10-18; 22:13-16.

The Society later changed and allowed "bloodfractions" in 1958.-Watchtower 15th Sept 1958 page 575

The Society changes again, and allowed"blood

fractions" in 1964-Watchtower 15th Nov 1964 pages 680, 681, 682, 683.- Awake 22nd Aug 1965 page 18 -Watchtower 1st June 1974 pages 351, 352

Hemophilia treatments are allowed now.-Watchtower 15th June 1978 pages 29 thru 31

Now back to the Question:

Has The Watchtower Ever Claimed To be A Prophet?The answer is a definate YES! I decided to use scanned exhibits so that I would not be falsely accused of misquoting them! (Remember this: "A characteristic of all liars is -they take a radical position & then whenit is found & exposed to be false they adjust or water down their original position. Note the defensivesubtle admitions /adjustments (underlined) in the exhibits below.

10/27

In the above three exhibits (scanned documents from their own literature) it is easy to read the scentences where theclaim to be a prophet of YAHWEH (Jehovah) was repeatedly made by the Watchtower Organization a number of times.

The Watchtower in its publication AWAKE (8th October, 1968, on page 23) spoke of those who set dates for the endof the world . Dates which did not come to pass. It said that the ones who did so were guilty of false prophesying ! SO ISTHE WATCHTOWER (See the exhibit on this page). (Some examples given below).

The Finnished Mystery, 1917 edition, pages 484 & 485 contains yet another. The churches of Christendom & the churchmembers by the millions were not wiped out by 1918 A.D. The Downfall of `Christianity` did not happen in 1918 A.D.


16/27


17/27


18/27

Now, lets be realistic! Did all this really happen in 1925 ???????? NOW I AM GOING TOSKIP MANY OTHER FALSE PROPHECIES THAT WERE MADE OVER THE YEARS. LETS


19/27

GO IN THE TIME MACHINE TO 1966 A.D. ONWARDS ....CONCERNING 1975 ANOTHER YEAR OF DOOM.


20/27

I remember what the Demtel man used to say. Now I`ll say it. "But wait there`s more!"


21/27

LETS SEE NOW... 90 MONTHS FROM MARCH 1968 SHOULD PLACE US IN ... OH.. ITS 1975 AGAIN!


22/27

`JEHOVAH`S WITNESSES` ALSO LOOKED FORWARD TO SOMETIME WITHIN 1975 A.D. AS "THE END" OF THE OLD SYSTEM OFTHINGS & THE BEGINNING OF THE 1000 YEAR REIGN OF `CHRIST` ON EARTH.


23/27


24/27

THE WATCHTOWER DECIEVED HER FOLLOWERS INTO WORKING EXTRA HARD ON THERECRUITMENT DRIVE. AFTER ALL IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IN 1975 ... RIGHT? .. WRONG!


25/27

This quote is taken from the actual loose Watchtower. JANUARY 1ST 1989

"The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying afoundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century."


26/27

WE ARE NOW IN THE 21ST CENTURY. THE WATCHTOWER GOT IT WRONG AGAIN! A PROVENFALSE PROPHET! THE WORK OF CHRISTIAN EVANGELISTS STILL GOES ON INTO THE 21STCENTURY.

UNFORTUNATELY RECRUITMENT DRIVES BY `JEHOVAH`S WITNESSES` ALSO CONTINUES TODAYTHOUGH THEIR WATCHTOWER ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY PROVEN TO BE A FALSEPROPHET! THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THEY LIKE TO SWEEP THINGS UNDER THE CARPET OR JUSTPUT IT DOWN TO HUMAN ERROR, 7 THAT `TRUTH` GETS CLEARER WITH TIME BY MISQUOTINGOUT OF CONTEXT PROVERBS 4:18 WHICH SAYS, "But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shinethmore and more unto the perfect day." IT IS APPARENT AS WE HAVE SEEN IN THE ABOVE EXHIBITS THATIT IS REALLY PROVERBS 4:19 WHICH APPLIES TO THE WATCHTOWER & ALL OF ITS FOLLOWERS."The way of the wicked [is] as darkness: they know not at what they stumble."- PROVERBS 4:19 !

A TRUE PROPHET, HOWEVER, SPOKE THE WORD OF GOD AND GOD`S WORD IS TRUTH!IN GOD`S WAY OF THINGS - LATER REVEALED TRUTH DOES NOT CONTRADICT PREVIOUSREVEALED TRUTH:

"For the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and his truth [endureth] to all generations."-PSALM 100:5.

"For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye theLORD." -PSALM 117:2

"Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments [endureth] for ever."-PSALM 119:160.

"For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hastestablished the earth, and it abideth." -PSALM 119:89-90.

"Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel,confirmed [it] by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which [it was] impossible for God to lie, wemight have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:.."-HEBREWS 6:17-18

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YAHWEH GOD HAS AS THE STANDARD AGAINST WHICH ANY WHOCLAIMED TO BE ONE OF HIS PROPHETS WOULD BE MEASURED ?

HAS THE WATCHTOWER PASSED THE TEST OR HAS IT BEEN DECIEVING ITS FOLLOWERS?

{18:20} "But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word inmy name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shallspeak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.{18:21} And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the wordwhich the LORD hath not spoken?{18:22} When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if thething follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the

LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken itpresumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."-Deuteronomy 18:20-22.

The Bible says, "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whosoputteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe." - Proverbs 29:25.


27/27

Do not fear or respect the Watchtower Organization, they are a proven falseprophet organization run by false prophets / teachers practicing divination(Jeremiah 14:13-14) , and just as the Roman Catholic heirarchy claimed thatthey alone have the truth & could interpret the truth of scripture, so does theWatchtower Society. Just as the Roman Catholic heirarchy teach that youcannot HAVE assurance of salvation, so does the Watchtower Society.

Yet the Bible does teach that a person can have assurance of salvation & thatcomes by coming to the Lord Jesus Christ which the Bible teaches (not thewafer god false`Jesus` of Romanism nor the other false `Jesus` of theWatchtower. (Read - John 5:24; 6:37; 1John 5:11-13.)

SINCERITY & COMMITMENT TO A CAUSE DOES NOT PROVE THATTHE WATCHTOWER HAS THE TRUTH!
