Is it possible that the Creator of the Universe is using the Watchtower publishing company?

After asking Jesus about the time frame for the end of the world; Matthew 24:4-5 " And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you, for many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ; and shall deceive many"

Matthew 24:11 " And many false Prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many."

Mattthew 24:23-24 " Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false Prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

on the subject of when the end of days will come; Jesus replies, Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the Angels of the heaven, but my father only"

"Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.- Matthew 7:15

they say they are the true christians that use nothing but the bible to find their truth.

but these are quotes taken from the WT relating to the many prophecies that the leaders of the JW's had released through books and pamphlets through the years until 1975.

1897 "Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present, since October 1874," Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 4, page 621.

1899 "...the ‘battle of the great day of God Almighty' (Revelation 16:14), which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced." The Time Is at Hand, page 101 (1908 edition).

1916 "The Bible chronology herein presented shows that the six great 1000 year days beginning with Adam are ended, and that the great 7th Day, the 1000 years of Christ's Reign, began in 1873." The Time Is at Hand, page ii, (forward).

1918 "Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the condition of human perfection." Millions Now Living Will Never Die, page 89.

1922 "The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the Scriptures than 1914." The Watchtower 9/1/22, page 262.

1923 "Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the Scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge." The Watchtower, page 106 4/1/23.

1925 "The year 1925 is here. With great expectation Christians have looked forward to this year. Many have confidently expected that all members of the body of Christ will be changed to heavenly glory during this year. This may be accomplished. It may not be. In his own due time God will accomplish his purposes concerning his people. Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year." The Watchtower, 1/1/25, page. 3.

1925 "It is to be expected that Satan will try to inject into the minds of the consecrated, the thought that 1925 should see an end to the work." The Watchtower, Sept, 1925 page 262.

1926 "Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925, but the Lord did not state so. The difficulty was that the friends inflated their imaginations beyond reason; and that when their imaginations burst asunder, they were inclined to throw away everything." The Watchtower, page 232.

1931 "There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1917, 1918, and 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time...and they also learned to quit fixing dates." Vindication, page 338.

1941 "Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon." The Watchtower, 9/15/41, page 288.

1968 "True, there have been those in times past who predicted an ‘end to the world', even announcing a specific date. Yet nothing happened. The ‘end' did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying. Why? What was missing?.. Missing from such people were God's truths and evidence that he was using and guiding them." Awake, 10/8/68.

1968 "Why are you looking forward to 1975?" The Watchtower, 8/15/68, page 494.

A JW might say that the organization is still learning. If that is so, then how can they trust what they are taught now by the Watchtower? Will what they are being taught now change also?

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

How can the GB be the true Prophet of Jehovah; if it can change its values and doctrine from the original and release false prophecy after false prophecy; wouldn't that mean it epitomises Matthew 24:11? How do you know, that what the GB teaches you NOW, won't change in the FUTURE?

By law every corp has to have a legal entinty.( a identifiable name) Ours is the Watchtower.We are not a publishing company but a religious organazation that prints and distributes religious material for educational purposes only..Someone may argue that the way the Witnesses speak about the Watch Tower Society—or more often just “the Society”—indicates that they view it as more than a legal instrument. Do they not consider it to be the final authority on matters of worship? The book Jehovah’s Witnesses—Proclaimers of God’s Kingdom clarifies this point by explaining: “When The Watchtower [June 1, 1938] referred to ‘The Society,’ this meant, not a mere legal instrumentality, but the body of anointed Christians that had formed that legal entity and used it.” The expression therefore stood for “the faithful and discreet slave.” (Matthew 24:45) It is in this sense that the Witnesses generally used the term “the Society.” Of course, the legal corporation and “the faithful and discreet slave” are not interchangeable terms. Directors of the Watch Tower Society are elected, whereas Witnesses who make up ‘the faithful slave’ are anointed by Jehovah’s holy spirit. In order to avoid misunderstandings, Jehovah’s Witnesses try to be careful about how they express themselves. Instead of saying, “the Society teaches,” many Witnesses prefer to use such expressions as, “the Bible says” or, “I understand the Bible to teach.” In this way they emphasize the personal decision that each Witness has made in accepting Bible teachings and also avoid giving the false impression that Witnesses are somehow bound to the dictates of some religious sect. Of course, suggestions as regards terminology should never become a subject of controversy. After all, terminology is of importance only to the extent that it prevents misunderstandings. Christian balance is required. The Bible admonishes us “not to fight about words.” (2 Timothy 2:14, 15) The Scriptures also state this principle: “Unless you through the tongue utter speech easily understood, how will it be known what is being spoken?”—1 Corinthians 14:9.

Excuse me, but the question suggests that Almighty God has EVER used the Watchtower Society to accomplish his will, never mind solely uses them (present tense). I take exception to that.

I put it to you that the Creator of the Universe has NEVER used an organisation, corporation, never mind a publishing company, to accomplish his will. I put it to you that the Creator of the Universe has only ever used Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit to accomplish his will.

I know that the Watchtower Society, aka the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses has claimed that: "To serve and praise the Universal Sovereign, one must associate with the organization of Jehovah's Christian witnesses" (Watchtower 1 July 1973). Also that: "We cannot find the Scriptural guidance we need outside of the 'faithful and discrete slave' organization" (that's the Governing Body) (Watchtower 15 February 1981).

I know that Jehovah's Witnesses claim that they, and only they, have the truth and are used solely by Jehovah as their prophet. I know that Jehovah's Witnesses claim they, and only they, will survive Armageddon (which, although over 100 years late is still imminent according to "new light" they've got from God Almighty). Trouble is, they're false prophets.

You find anything in the Bible that says otherwise, I want to read it.

Yes. All things wether good or evil work togother for good for those who love God. The watchtower is just another bunch of unholy clowns that God will magnify himself in. In doing so, they'll come to complete destruction.

“Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. Dan. 11:36

All things are possible with God, but I find it extremely unlikely that the Watchtower has anything to do with God's will.

The JH are misinformed people in a cult. As a Christian we know to look for fase religion by their doctrine and what it compares to the Bible. The JH is way way way off base from sound doctrine. They may sound simiar, but when it all comes down to it, they don't mean the same thing at all.

Key word..."solely" and the answer...is NO. No religion has a monopoly on God's word.

Was it possible for God to have been using the Pharisee's to determine God's will when they had Jesus executed? Remember, they were Jehovah's organization of His day!

The fact that they have made literally hundreds of errors even after declaring they were a prophet in the Jeremiah class indicates that we are not even to listen to them. Actually, if they did this in the Old Testament times, the lot of them would have been under a pile of stones!

God does use people to proclaim His word but I would suggest that if anyone says we have to belong to their organization or their church to have salvation...we need to run from them as fast as we can

God says that there is salvation in only ONE person...Jesus Christ and we can find that means of salvation here:

LOL, you are joking, right? Anyone who has done their home-

work in religious history, would know that the man who formed

his church, the Jehovahs' Witnesses, had been a member of

the 7th Day Adventist. He disagreed with some of the things

he had learned, and decided to start his own church, accor-

ding to his beliefs. I don't know at what point, the publication

business began. But I do know that the purchasers of the

books and publications are by the JW's themselves, in order

to pass them out to those who they try to befriend at the door,

and try to arrange a bible study. They look for lonely people

who are more than willing to listen. If the first couple can't

answer your questions, they will find someone who can, and

they will be at your door in no time. The size of this organiz-

ation is monumental, for it serves JW's around the world

from its' offices in The Bronx, New York. So that is alot of

customers they keep supplying. So don't accept what you are

told, from within the 'church' by the elders. And start thinking

about all of the misquotes and prophesizing. Work at a

decent job, hold onto your health, and treat all like you prefer

to be treated yourself. And don't allow yourself to be controlled by this group or any other. The end of the world is

not at hand. So don't let fear they spread, affect you. You

don't want to be separated from your family and shunned for

the rest of your days, if they decide to disassociate you.

I'm a JW expert...just ask any JW. They are NOT allowed to read any kind of religious material (any books on God or religion in general that is not published by the Watchtower Tract Association)because they believe you will be 'brainwashed'. They also do not encourage spending time or making 'friends' with non-witnesses. And, they usually end up cutting themselves and their children away from family members.

Fact-WHATEVER THE GB (the self-proclaimed "wise and faithful servant"), OF THE WTS SAYS IS TRUE, IS TRUE! The GB could tell the JWs that God was a white pitbullterrier, living on Mars, and the JWs would be obligated to believe it, or face disfellowshipping, shunning by family, the (internal) fear of death at Armageddon (for not being a JW any longer), etc. You have to remember they write their own book so they can say anything they want.

God is far much closer to you than your own skin. He doesn't need any Watchtower corporations to watch over us.

No...............

I think Lucifer or the ruler of this world is using the Watchtower publishing company to accomplish his will and plan.

2Co 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
