Your comments:
"This is the famous illustration of the "wheat and weeds" found in
Matthew 13. Basically, it talks about a man planting good wheat in a
field. The field represents Jehovah's organization. But then the devil
came in and sowed weeds. This was all before the wheat even showed up.
That means, before the growth of the organization got off to a good
start, the weeds were planted and very intermixed with the weeds."
as well as these:
"No. It was decided, in order not to lose any of the wheat, to simply let
things grow with the wheat and weeds together until the "harvest" or the
end of the system of things when the kingdom would be set up, within one
generation. Then the weeds would be exposed."
This is logically asinine as an interpretation.
You frankly admit the continuous existence of the WHEAT down through the ages from the time of the original planting.
Then, WHERE WAS YOUR "WHEAT" for 1800 years?
If the tares are those who hold FALSE interpretations, then WHERE is the WHEAT,
"mixed together" or not, that is,
all those people who held the TRUE beliefs?
Or do you believe that mere sinful
men
are more powerful than the Holy Spirit?
That mere sinful men, however many, can
utterly obliterate the TRUE doctrine
for 1800 years until God raises up
a Hatter From Pittsburg to restore it?
You can't have a field filled with BOTH wheat and weeds, unless you can demonstrate the continuous existence of the WHEAT as well (your alleged doctrines). And for 1800 years, you can't.
