once upon a time a man said; lets change our name from, "the Bible Students" to Jehovah's witnesses then whenever these people see a verse such as this: Isa 43:10 "You are My witnesses," declares the LORD, "And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me. they think it is referring to them, but God is of course talking to israel. by the way, God didn't change israel's name to Jehovah's witnesses, He simply said; you are my witnesses ![]() |

It will, without fail, affect you. What is this climax? God himself will take a direct hand in world affairs. He will use his overwhelming power to crush wickedness and wicked people. (Rev. 11:18) This act of God is called "Armageddon" in some Bible versions... Time is fast running out for it! It is much later for this world than you may think! Indeed, it has only a few more years of existence left!" Pro 14:5 A trustworthy witness will not lie, But a false witness utters lies.

reason for not respecting the so called Jehovah's witnesses - they are false prophets etc. jwfacts..com End of the "Time of Trouble" (Great Tribulation) Barbour and Russell published that the time of trouble would end in 1914, a teaching Russell continued to promote in Zion's Watch Tower. "The seventh trumpet sounds from Aug. 1840, until "the time of trouble," or day of wrath is ended. Hence, it doubtless ends with the times of the Gentiles, and this forty years of conquest; and therefore, sounds until A. D. 1914; at the end of which, Babylon the great, will have fallen, and the "dragon" be bound: that is, the nations will be subdued, and "the prince of this world cast out."" Three Worlds and The Harvest of This World (1877) p.143 "But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble."

It is already in progress, its beginning dating from October, 1874. ... The Scriptures show also that the battle of the great day will begin with the church of God, and that the overthrow of the great nominal church systems will precede the overthrow of the present civil powers; for the Lord is about to shake, not only the earth (the civil organisation for society), but heaven (the ecclesiastical powers) also (Heb. 12:26), to the end that great "Babylon," falsely called Christendom -Christ's kingdom- may be completely destroyed."

reason for not respecting the so called Jehovah's witnesses - they are false prophets etc. "There were also other expectations concerning 1914. Alexander H. Macmillan, who had been baptized in September 1900, later recalled: "A few of us seriously thought we were going to heaven during the first week of that October. In fact, recalling the morning that Russell announced the end of the Gentile Times, MacMillan admitted: "We were highly excited and I would not have been surprised if at that moment we had just started up, that becoming the signal to begin ascending heavenward-but of course there was nothing like that."" Jehovah's Witnesses - Proclaimers of God's Kingdom pp.61-62 "As October 1914 approached, some of the Bible Students expected that at the end of the Gentile Times they, as spirit-anointed Christians, would receive their heavenly reward. Illustrating this is an incident that took place at a convention of the Bible Students in Saratoga Spring, New York, September 27-30, 1914. A. H.Macmillan, who had been baptized 14 years earlier, gave a discourse on Wednesday, September 30. In it he stated: " This is probably the last public address I shall ever deliver, because we shall be going home [to heaven] soon.""

reason for not respecting the so called Jehovah's witnesses - they are false prophets etc. Studies in the Scriptures - Editions after 1914 Editions of Studies in the Scriptures written prior to 1914 were very specific about what would happen prior to and during 1914. These journals continued to be used after 1914. To overcome the obviously erroneous predictions, in 1915 they were reissued with amendments. For example, prior to 1914, editions of Studies In the Scriptures - Thy Kingdom Come stated on p.228 that the resurrection would occur before 1914. From the 1915 edition onwards, this was changed to state that the resurrection was to occur soon after 1914. Instead of being slated to "end in October 1914", rewrites claimed (still erroneously) that Armageddon was to "end very shortly" and "very soon after".Studies In the Scriptures - The Day of Vengeance pp.546,547 1911 edition compared to 1927 edition more at jwfacts..com "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

reason for not respecting the so called Jehovah's witnesses - they are false prophets etc. from equip..org ARE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES FALSE PROPHETS?- Introduction Jehovah’s Witnesses freely admit that they have made failed predictions in the past. Is this enough to categorize them as false prophets? ARE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES FALSE PROPHETS?- What is a false prophet? Deuteronomy 18:22 states that a false prophet is one who, in the name of the Lord, makes a prophecy which does not take place and is not true. How does all of this square with the Jehovah’s Witnesses claim that just because they have made a few errors does not mean that they are therefore false prophets? ARE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES FALSE PROPHETS?- Strike One First of all, the Watchtower (which is the organizational name of Jehovah’s Witnesses) claimed to have been acting as God’s uniquely-appointed official, or modern-day prophet, when it issued its numerous false predictions. This alone, according to Deuteronomy 18, is enough to qualify them as false prophets. Deu 18:22 "When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. But there’s more. ARE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES FALSE PROPHETS?- Expected Prophecies to be true The prophecies proclaimed by the Watchtower were not considered by the organization as “optional.” In other words, to remain a Jehovah’s Witness in good standing, you must wholeheartedly believe in and uphold these prophecies made by the Watchtower. They were certainly not expendable. ARE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES FALSE PROPHETS?- Christ’s Return You see, the prophecies themselves concerned important events holding significant implications. For example, the Watchtower initially proclaimed that Jesus’ second coming happened invisibly in the year 1874. Today, Jehovah’s Witnesses believed this event actually took place in the year 1914. It’s important to note that Paul issued very strong warnings about those setting false dates concerning Christ’s return (2 Thes. 2:1-3). ARE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES FALSE PROPHETS?- Despair and Disillusionment Fourth, the Watchtower’s false prophecies have produced nothing but despair and disillusionment, and have caused many Jehovah’s Witnesses to resort to drastic measures which they would not have taken otherwise. Numbers of Jehovah’s Witnesses, for instance, quit their jobs and liquidated their personal belongings as they anticipated the world to end in the year 1975. Needless to say, that prediction never materialized.Well, when all the facts are considered, it becomes readily apparent that Jehovah’s Witnesses are false prophets who fill people “with false hopes” (Jer. 23:16). Jer 23:16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you. They are leading you into futility; They speak a vision of their own imagination, Not from the mouth of the LORD.

reason for not respecting the so called Jehovah's witnesses - they are false prophets etc. False Prophecy in the Watchtower Society If the Watchtower Society is the sole channel for God on earth, then according to the Bible its prophecy must come true. How reliable have its prophecies been? What does the Watchtower Society teach and claim about prophecy? In The Watchtower, March 1, 1975, Jehovah’s Witness leaders declared, “The Bible itself establishes the rules for testing a prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:20-23 and 13:1-8…” (p. 151). Its own rules, with which we agree, are biblical and are our standard; they demand 100 percent accuracy for any prophecy that is made. The Society’s publication Aid to Bible Understanding teaches all Jehovah’s Witnesses that prophecy includes “a declaration of something to come” and that “the source of all true prophecy is Jehovah God.”[1] This publication further states that “correct understanding of prophecy would still be made available by God… particularly in the foretold ‘time of the end’…” (p. 1346). (In context, “time of the end” here includes the emergence of the Watchtower Society.) Aid to Bible Understanding further defines a “prophet” as “one through whom the divine will and purpose are made known” (p. 1347). (What’s more, the Watchtower Society makes the astonishing claim that it is the true prophetic mouthpiece for God on earth at this time.)[2] Furthermore, the Watchtower tells all Jehovah’s Witnesses that “the three essentials for establishing the credentials of the true prophet” are 1) speaking in Jehovah’s name, 2) “the things foretold would come to pass,” and 3) these prophecies would promote true worship by being in harmony with God’s already-revealed Word. The Watchtower claims that the true prophet would “express… God’s mind on matters… [and] every prediction [will be] related to God’s will, purpose, standards or judgment.”[3] In light of these lofty claims, the Society has succinctly declared its position and authority. It claims to speak in the name of Jehovah, to be His prophet predicting future events, and to be in harmony with His Word. It confidently predicts that what it says must “come to pass.” The Watchtower, September 1, 1979, declared, “For nearly 60 years now the Jeremiah class [the Jehovah’s Witnesses] have faithfully spoken forth Jehovah’s word” (p. 29). It is clear from this that the Watchtower Society confidently claims to prophetically speak for God. We will now examine some of the implications of its own claims to be speaking for God. to continue from jashow..org "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
