Isn't it embarrassing to be a witness now?
Look at all the false teachings adding up showing they are so totally in the dark!
They haven't got the resurrection right. The second resurrection doesn't happen during the millennium but after it.
They keep telling the members that the "great tribulation" is yet to come and that it's ultimately Armageddon when in fact Matthew 24:29 clearly says the tribulation is over before the Messiah even arrives.
They don't understand 1914, which is a wrong date for the "end of the gentile times."
They think the "end" spoken of in Matthew and Mark and Luke is "Armageddon" when it isn't. It's just the end of the gentile times which ended in 1992, before the end of that last generation as the Bible prophesied (which ended 80 years after 1914 in 1994).
They don't realize the "great tribulation" was the HOLOCAUST.
They don't realize that Jesus and the 144,000 are to rule on the earth during the millennium.
They think that PAROUSIA represents events happening after Jesus actually takes up kingdom power instead of before as the Bible says. All those signs happen before Christ arrives and are given to signal he is about to arrive, including the "great tribulation" and the worldwide preaching! They even got that wrong.
They teach that Passover is a day earlier than it should be. They don't understand Passover is held on the first day of unfermented cakes. And have the audacity in their claim to say the Jews are celebrating it on the wrong day, that is, on Nisan 15th. When it is they that are confused.
That means they don't realize Jesus couldn't die on Nisan 14th but had to die on Nisan 20th, which fulfills the "three days and three nights" from a Thursday night to a Sunday night. Where are the three nights if he died Friday afternoon? There's only Friday night and Saturday night. That's just two nights. Jesus rose on Saturday night. So they are lost about that.
They teach the 70-year exile began in the 19th year when the last deportation was in the 23rd year and Josephus confirms that is when the 70-year exile began. But they just ignore that.
They think Nehemiah fulfills the "70 weeks" prophecy, when Cyrus does. So they got that wrong, which is the prime reason their chronology is wrong.
As a former witness, I'd be embarrassed. They are sooo much in the dark now, even their basic teachings are falling apart.
And as witnesses who are finding out some of these issues, they are finding out they can't ask about them, but they KNOW in their hearts this is the truth. They have to see the WTS is crumbling.
Listen. I don't think this GB fellow is real. But when a GB member starts respecting "apostates" at H20, if it's real, then you KNOW it's over! Who is going to follow them? Especially if they bend into popular pressure and do as the crowd says and change the blood issue or any other issue. That confirms they are not going by holy spirit any more.
They are naked and thrown outside, stumbling in the dark.
HOW EMBARRASSING!
"The truth shall make you free!"
Hear this. Know this.
