Critics of Jehovah`s Witnesses/Hey Judas!
Expert: Gordon Cook - 8/2/2010
QuestionHey Judas! How are you doing? Having fun stabbing the Christ in the back you Coward?
"We have not the gift of prophecy"
Zion's Watch Tower, July 1883.
The scales on you your eyes are rotten. YOUR THE FALSE PROPHET!
AnswerWhere you born an idiot or did you take lessons to be one?
As a Christian I can see that you have fallen for the lies of the Watchtower.
Who through their history have made false prophecies.
As follows:
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. Zion's Watch Tower 1894 July 15 p.226
The year A.D. 1878, being the parallel of his assuming power and authority in the type, clearly marks the time for the actual assuming of power as King of kings, by our present, spiritual, invisible Lord...." Studies in the Scriptures - Thy Kingdom Come p.239
This was changed later:
Jehovah's witnesses pointed to the year 1914, decades in advance, as marking the start of "the conclusion of the system of things." Awake! 1973 January 22 p.8
The Watchtower has consistently presented evidence…that Jesus' presence in heavenly Kingdom power began in 1914." Watchtower 1993 January 15 pp.5,9
As you can see the later statements are lies about what they originally taught.
The current understanding is significantly different to the teachings prior to 1914. Originally, the Watchtower believed:
The Last Days began 1799
Jesus Parousia started 1874
Jesus started ruling in heaven in 1878
The Gentile Times would end in 1914, resulting in
End of Armageddon
The fall of false religion
The end of all governments
The resurrection
Paradise on earth
The 1925 Prophecy:
Seventy jubilees of fifty years each would be a total of 3500 years. That period of time beginning 1575 before A.D. 1 of necessity would end in the fall of the year 1925, at which time the type ends and the great antitype must begin. What, then, should we expect to take place? … The chief thing to be restored is the human race to life; and since other Scriptures definitely fix the fact that there will be a resurrection of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and other faithful ones of old, and that these will have the first favour, we may expect 1925 to witness the return of these faithful men of Israel from the condition of death, being resurrected and fully restored to perfect humanity and made the visible, legal representatives of the new order of things on earth."
Millions Now Living Will Never Die p.88
"When you take up a more advanced study of the Bible, you will find that the year 1925 A. D. is particularly marked in prophecy." p.220
Expectations for 1925 included:
the end of Christendom
the return of earth to a paradise
the resurrection of the dead onto earth
the Zionist teaching of the reestablishment of Palestine
1975 Prophecy
"The fact that fifty-four years of the period called the "last days" have already gone by is highly significant. It means that only a few years, at most, remain before the corrupt system of things dominating the earth is destroyed by God." Awake! 1968 October 8 p.13
Awake! 1969 May 22 p.15
"If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. ... Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in highschool and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way toward its finish, if not actually gone!"
Does that not warm our hearts? Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end." Kingdom Ministry May 1974 p.3 How Are You Using Your Life
HOW MANY TIME MUST A FALSE PROPHET MAKE A FALSE PROPHECY,
BEFORE THEY ARE CALLED A "FALSE PROPHET"?
THE WATCHTOWERS OWN HISTORY CONDEMNS THEM.
