Quote from your Watchtower magazine since its your final authority on all matters. cool
YES! We quote what binds us together as final authority.
You need to know what authority means Sir.
¤The Old Testament is what binds all Jews together.
¤Jesus is the authority that binds Christians together.
¤Muhammad is what binds Muslims together.

And after this, each religious group claiming believers in either of this three has what binds them together as authority.

Whatever Kumuyi says binds all your members together whether it's stated in the Bible or not, the same goes round with all other religious groups!

But the difference between JWs and all of you is that we study the Bible intensively with an interested person who believes THERE MUST BE A CENTRAL UNIT OF CONTROL for all worshipers of the true God!
If he/she agrees with the teaching, then we present our GB as that authority {Matthew 16:19} and whatever the GB decided upon is binding him/her as a member! Act 15:27-29

Unfortunately none denominationals can't agree with this order so we will simply tell them OUR GOD AND THEIR GOD DIFFERS!

I know you can't refute whatever Kumuyi teaches you even if it contradicts that of other churches but you can't explain why it must be so the way i just did! wink

So get to work for Jesus and by your FRUIT, honesthearted and sincere individuals will notice the FRUIT in your church! cheesy

The bible says no prophecy is for private interpretation. this people claim that they are the only christian group serving god. they condemn others. there was a time they claim that when their membership reach 144,000 they end would come. Rutherford one time leader claimed he was the sole ordained 'faithful and wise servant' more faithful than Russel the founder. Failed interpretation of prophesies and so on.

Yes, you are right. The Watchtower Society is the self-proclaimed prophet of God who in 1920 predicted the physical return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old by the year 1925. They didn't show up in 1925 and instead of them to admit they made a false prophecy they continued to string their followers along and proceeded to build a mansion in San Diego, California for those prophets, still hoping they would appear, but they never did. cool

Your cult of personality god of men have been sawing ,chopping and editing his junk doctrine several times over the years without any hullabaloos from you & other gullible sheepies..... (and will continue to saw& edit more junk to spoon feed his gullible sheepies).


**"While they were listening to these things, he told another illustration, because he was near Jerusalem and they (Jesus disciples) thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear instantly" Luke 19:11.

***** Acts1:6
"So when they had assembled, they asked Jesus: Lord are you restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time"

Apostle Peter even denied his lord and Master before men several times....

In the past, Jesus disciples committed the same error you accused JWs of.

A true prophet of God won't err in prophesying. Only a false prophet does. The Jehovah's Witness organization, that claims to be a prophet of God, is really a false prophet.

This is the question you ought to have asked before allowing yourself to be misguided by all these misleading articles.
Everybody knows our belief is that miraculous gift of prophesy disappeared since the days of the apostles.

Check out extract from many of our official journals and watchtower articles.

We have not the gift of prophecy.” (January 1883, page 425)

“Nor would we have our writings reverenced or regarded as infallible.” (December 15, 1896, page 306)

does not mean those now serving as Jehovah’s witnesses are inspired. It does not mean that the writings in this magazine The Watchtower are inspired and infallible and without mistakes.” (May 15, 1947, page 157)

“The Watchtower does not claim to be inspired in its utterances, nor is it dogmatic.” (August 15, 1950, page 263)

“The brothers preparing these publications are not infallible. Their writings are not inspired as are those of Paul and the other Bible writers.-2 Timothy 3:16 And so, at times, it has been necessary, as understanding became clearer, to correct views. Proverbs 4:18 ”​—February 15, 1981, page 19.


We have never Claim to making any predictions or prophesy.What we have been guilty of is misunderstanding some of the prophecies (That is in the Bible already) that relate to the “end times”.
No one enter a trance or wakeup from a dream to tell you this or that. NO!
We compare the scripture to scripture and try to understand what it says about the end times

Afterall, we never claimed that our researches are infallible and we're always ready to change if we find out we are incorrect. Life in general is like that. Some people change as they learn and grow, some refuse to even learn.
I pray you do.

For example, we used to celebrate Christmas but when we found out it's unscriptural, We do the right thing cheesy


"In 1972 the Jehovah's Witness Watchtower claimed to be the prophet of God."

you check the article, you can notice that we are compared with “prophets” (in inverted commas, mind you) metaphorically, because we publicly proclaim God’s message. Only that that message is the one in the Bible, not a personal divine revelation.
