So its Russell who was born 2000+ years after Jesus that has been with Jesus physically through his escapades. grin grin grin funny you!



“The faithful and discreet slave” was appointed over Jesus’ domestics in 1919. That slave is the small, composite group of anointed brothers serving at world headquarters during Christ’s presence who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing spiritual food. When this group work together as the Governing Body, they act as “the faithful and discreet slave.” jw.org 2012 Annual Meeting Report

"Similarly, starting in 1919, Jehovah brought forth the seed of the woman as a spiritual nation." Revelation - It's Grand Climax (re) p.184

Its was a bit adjusted in 2013

"To settle that question, Jesus began to inspect the spiritual temple in 1914. That inspection and cleansing work involved a period of time—from 1914 to the early part of 1919.[3] ... Endnotes:... Paragraph 6: [3] This is an adjustment in understanding. Previously, we thought that Jesus’ inspection took place in 1918." (Watchtower 2013 Jul 15 pp.11,14)



The religion is Jesus and he resides in your heart. God never created any structure or any go between in order to reach him, its impostors, fakes that do so.



you just keep repeating yourself. is anyone forcing to embrace jw or accept their teaching? if you really want to discredit jw,publish book on that and distribute them freely to all people or start visiting homes, villages, town, cities and nations telling them that jw teachings are not correct oh.

And to show such a pathetic liar that you are, I never made such claim.

Educate yourself, the internet has a wide range of information which you could use to verify claims.

Change and adjustment that states that Jesus physically was on earth and choose the watchtower in 1914/1919?

How does that sound to you?
How did the selection and cleansing take place?
What souveniors did he leave behind?
^^ and you believe that?

In this same thread one of your members (jozzy) was accusing some one to claimed he healed the sick of telling lies, because his claim sounded unbelievable,

Which of the claims is more believable?

This is the same Watchtower that tell their members to verify anything they hear. Smh

@bolded, its most unlikely for inspection and cleansing to take place in the absence of Jesus, given the way the quote is put above. Well what does it matter? Physically or spiritually the claim is vague and has no scriptural backing, hence validating my earlier argument.

Do you read your bible at all? It said in 1timothy 2:5 that is ONLY one link between God and man, that's Jesus.

The same Jesus said in John 10 that he is the door to the sheep any one who come via another way is a theif or hirling (one who called himself).

The watchtower and several other denominations claim to be a link (door) between God and their members.

Consider again the FDS 40million dollar assets in cayman islands and over billion dollar investments all over US.

And the funny moonlight childrens folklores about an invisible Jesus(whom nobody saw) cleansing and choosing a temple(the process was not explained, how? When? Where did it take place?)
Just because they want you to believe that they are the true religion, and maintain their customers.

grin grin cheesy
What does that tell you?

Use your head!, some group of discreet smart billionaires a making raw cash out of your sincere love for truth.

The apostles encoaraged gathering of the saints, but they Never claimed obedience to them would gaurantee salvation just like the watchtower, instead they subscribed to faith wholly in Jesus.

Finished Mystery 1917 By Charles Taze Russell the founder of the Jehovah Witnesses.
Is a book I believe every JW should read about their true and faithful man of a God, It was this man-who wasn't educated in the scriptures until he believes God had spoken with Him, and of course he had written his adventurer in a book called the Finished Mystery 1917 which was published in 1917 Advertised and the posthumous work of Pastor Charles.T. Russell and published by the Watchtower bible to track society {Now known as Jehovah Witnesses} The Book was later written by C.J.Woodworth and George Fisher and authorised for publication by J.F.Rutherford, second President of the Watchtower society, it was consided a volume 7 of studies in the scriptures by those bible students who stayed in fellowship with Rutherford.
The Finished Mystery is referenced in modern publications of the Jehovah Witnesses as being a landmark book. Best viewed in PDF Format.
These are some of Charles Russell's teaching below He himself believed along with J Rutherford C.Woodworth, and George Fisher and of course the students that stood beside Rutherford.
Charles Russell believed he was a faithful and wise servant {P 4}
He believed Jesus gave Him the key to understanding God's mysteries in the Last Days { P 6}
Charles Russell believed Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega in {Revelation 1:8, 21:6 and 22:13 on P 15, P 318, P 336}
He also told his followers "There is no need to study after the Hebrew and Greek languages to gain a correct and understanding of the bible because the Presbyterians and the Methodist have good versions of the bible at reasonable prices {P 55}

It would be nice to post the books that contain past watchtower teaxhings, so that Witnesses can see how ridiculous watchtower edicts and structures can be.

some people think teachings of jehovah witnesses are without error. Bible can be wrongly interpreted especially core doctrines which are not too essential for salvation. Salvation is not possible without faith in christ ransom for christ is only way to God. however, faith is not enough even demons believe that Jesus is only way to God. our faith must back by works. which works? jam2:14,26
(A person does not earn salvation by his works. But anyone who has genuine faith will have works to go with it—works of obedience to the commands of God and Christ, works that demonstrate his faith and love. Without such works, his faith is dead.
The Bible’s answer
The terms “save” and “salvation” are sometimes used by Bible writers to convey the idea of a person’s being delivered from danger or destruction. ( Exodus 14:13, 14; Acts 27:20 ) Often, though, these terms refer to deliverance from sin. ( Matthew 1:21 ) Since death is caused by sin, people who are saved from sin have the hope of living forever.— John 3:16, 17. *
What is the way to salvation?
To gain salvation, you must exercise faith in Jesus and demonstrate that faith by obeying his commands.— Acts 4:10, 12; Romans 10:9, 10; Hebrews 5:9 .
The Bible shows that you must have works, or acts of obedience, to prove that your faith is alive. ( James 2:24, 26 ) However, this does not mean that you can earn salvation. It is “God’s gift” based on his “undeserved kindness,” or “grace.”— Ephesians 2:8, 9 ; King James Version.
Can you lose out on salvation?
Yes. Just as a person saved from drowning could fall or jump back into the water, a person who has been saved from sin but fails to keep exercising faith could lose out on salvation. For this reason, the Bible urges Christians who have received salvation “to put up a hard fight for the faith.” ( Jude 3 ) It also warns those who have been saved: “Keep working out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”— Philippians 2:12 .
Who is the Savior—God or Jesus?
The Bible identifies God as the primary source of salvation, often referring to him as “Savior.” ( 1 Samuel 10:19; Isaiah 43:11; Titus 2:10; Jude 25 ) In addition, God used various men to deliver the ancient nation of Israel, and the Bible calls them “saviors.” ( Nehemiah 9:27; Judges 3:9, 15; 2 Kings 13:5 ) * Likewise, since God provides salvation from sin through the
ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ , the Bible refers to Jesus as “Savior.”— Acts 5:31; Titus 1:4 . *
Will everyone be saved?
No, some people will not be saved. ( 2 Thessalonians 1:9 ) When Jesus was asked, “Are those being saved few?” he replied: “Exert yourselves vigorously to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to get in but will not be able.”— Luke 13:23, 24 .
Misconceptions about universal salvation
Misconception: First Corinthians 15:22 teaches universal salvation by saying that “in the Christ all will be made alive.”
Fact: The context of this verse discusses the resurrection . ( 1 Corinthians 15:12, 13, 20, 21, 35) So the phrase “in the Christ all will be made alive” simply means that all who are resurrected receive this blessing through Jesus Christ.— John 11:25 .
Misconception: Titus 2:11 teaches universal salvation by saying that God is “bringing salvation to all people.”— International Standard Version.
Fact: The Greek word translated “all” in this verse can also mean “every kind or variety.” * Thus, the correct understanding of Titus 2:11 is that God is making salvation available to all
sorts of people, including people “out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues.”—
Revelation 7:9, 10 .
Misconception: Second Peter 3:9 teaches universal salvation by saying that God “does not desire anyone to be destroyed.”
Fact: God wants people to be saved, but he does not force them to accept his provision for salvation. His “day of judgment ” will include the “destruction of the ungodly people.”— 2 Peter 3:7

Am glad you talked about practising bible principle, not being loyal to an organization or the governing body. But check this out:

Romans 3:28-30King James Version (KJV)

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
