When will the lies end?

The Kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet let down into the sea and gathering fish of every kind.—Matt. 13:47.


Jesus likened the preaching of the Kingdom message to all mankind to the lowering of a large dragnet into the sea. Just as such a net indiscriminately catches large numbers of “fish of every kind,” our preaching work attracts millions of people of all kinds. Not all those attracted to the truth will take a stand for Jehovah. Many have associated with us at our meetings. Others have been willing to study the Bible with us but are not willing to make a commitment. Still others are no longer associating with the Christian congregation. Some youths have been raised by Christian parents and yet have not developed a love for Jehovah’s standards. No matter what the situation, Jesus emphasized that everyone needs to make a personal decision. Those who do are viewed by him as “the precious,” or “desirable,” things “of all the nations.”- The Watch tower, 2014, December 15, pp. 13 par. 9, 10

COMMENTARY

The thing about telling a lie is, you have to keep lying and telling more and more lies to support the original lie —or else it all comes undone. That is the mess the Watchtower is in now.

Take the text above as an example. The original lie is that Christ returned in 1914, that he has been ruling the world over the past 100+ years. That is supposedly when the harvest and the conclusion of the system began. There are literally dozens of other falsehoods attached to that, like the text above.

Although it is not explicit in the text itself, the WT article from where it was extracted clearly implies that the angels are actively removing “unsuitable” persons from association in the organization. (See article: Are the Angels Killing Off Your Bible Students?) And the reason they are compelled to peddle this blasphemous tripe is because Jesus said that the dragnet comes into play during the conclusion. So, in other words, over the past century the angels have been casting and recasting the symbolic dragnet over and over again, and hauling net load after net load up onto the beach, where they then discard the unsuitable fishes from the suitable ones. And then the unsuitable ones are thrown into the fire, generation after generation, where they experience much weeping and gnashing of teeth, somehow.

Frankly, it is astounding to me that Jehovah’s Witnesses put up with being fed this swill. Is there anyone out there who has the will to use their powers of discernment? Do you really believe that Jesus Christ has dispatched his powerful angels with orders to remove persons from attending congregational meetings or cut them off from having a free home Bible study? When a young person goes off into the world is it really because the angels have debarred them from the organization? That is what the Watchtower is implying. The question is, why do you put up with it?

According to Jesus’ illustration of the sower and the seed it is Satan who snatches the seed of truth sown among those who fail to get the sense of it. Everything in the epistles reveals that Satan is seeking to entrap and mislead us from Jehovah and Christ. Is it really true that the angels are working in concert with the demons to prevent us from associating with Christians?

And if the angels are involved in tossing away the unsuitables we might naturally wonder why they would get rid of merely spiritually weak persons and hormone-charged teenagers and leave behind cunning child predators.

Ironically, the Watchtower article upon which the text is based is entitled: Do You Grasp the Meaning? Obviously, the Governing Body does not.

The good news is, the Watchtower’s lies and blasphemy will come to a sudden and most inglorious end. It will end when Christ sends forth his angels and they uproot the weeds that have taken root among us. That is when the whitewashed wall will crumble and fall and the stupid prophets will be no more.

Are the angels killing off your Bible students?




Again the Kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet let down into the sea and gathering fish of every kind. When it was full, they hauled it up onto the beach, and sitting down, they collected the fine ones into containers, but the unsuitable they threw away. That is how it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from among the righteous and will cast them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be. - Matthew 13:47-50

As an organization in 2013 Jehovah’s Witnesses spent nearly two billion-hours in their ministry and conducted almost 10 million Bible studies with interested persons each month. And almost 20 million attended the 2013 Memorial event. (2014 YearBook numbers).

There are many experiences recorded in Year Books and other publications that indicate Jehovah’s angels are actively involved in directing the work and moving people to respond to the message of the Watchtower.

However, the very same angels that are assigned to assist in the accomplishment of the preaching of the goods news and the ingathering of people of goodwill are also actively removing interested peoples from association with Jehovah’s Witnesses, apparently on the basis of their unsuitability.

Not only that, but apparently a significant number of persons who have been sexually assaulted by adult Jehovah’s Witnesses are also deemed unsuitable for life in God’s new world and are being tossed into the blazing furnace of everlasting destruction by the angels.

It is hard to comprehend why the pedophiliac perpetrators, some of whom were/are elders and ministerial servants, are deemed suitable, while their victims are not; but the angels surely must know best. At least that is the absurd conclusion that one can only draw from the Watchtower’s bizarre interpretation of one of Jesus’ illustrations; specifically, the illustration of the dragnet. (Latest iteration in the December 2014 Watchtower study edition)

DO YOU GRASP THE MEANING?

According to the Watchtower the large numbers of people who are initially attracted to the message, but who, for whatever reason, do not follow through and become Jehovah’s Witnesses or even those who are Jehovah’s Witnesses, but who leave the organization, have in reality been forcefully removed by the angels.

Of course, none of Jehovah’s Witnesses actually believe such nonsense; nevertheless, it is the official teaching of the Watchtower.

"The large number of individuals who attend our conventions and the Memorial each year is evidence of this fact. Some of these symbolic fish are “fine” and are gathered into the Christian congregation. Others, though, are found to be “unsuitable”; not all those gathered prove to be acceptable to Jehovah." - The Watch tower, 2014, December 15, pp. 13 par. 9

But, obviously, it is completely at odds with the Scriptures. For example, in a related illustration Jesus revealed that those who are like the seed sown on the road are those who do not get the sense of the Kingdom message, and consequently the Devil snatches the seed of truth from their hardened hearts. Since that likely describes the situation of many of those who may study for awhile but then leave off, why does the Society attribute the work of the Devil to Jehovah’s holy angels?

Jehovah’s Witnesses may be offended, but the question ought to be asked nonetheless: Why does the Watchtower publish blasphemous tripe such as this?

The answer is, because the leadership of Jehovah’s Witnesses is committed to concealing itself in falsehood, as foretold in prophesy; specifically the 28th chapter of Isaiah.

Because in Jesus’ illustration of the “dragnet” that is hauled up on the beach full of all sorts of fishes — both suitable and unsuitable — and the angels separate one from the other and the separation is to take place during the conclusion of the system, which the Society insists began in 1914, the Watchtower is forced to concoct a scenario whereby there is no future harvest; hence they have concluded a covenant with Death and concealed themselves in a lie.

For a further rebuttal of the Society’s nonsensical teaching on the meaning of the dragnet read the article: Part IV – July 2013, Watchtower Review. 1 Also, The Coming of Christ and the Flash Flood 2
