@ sad michael If "Jehovah's" PERFECT organisation is run IMPERFECTLY, then doesn't that then make it IMPERFECT ?
If something is perfect, then it has no flaw. Is the WTBTS without flaw?
Have they made FALSE PROPHECIES? (deut 20: 18-20) READ PROCLAIMERS BOOK page 630 onwards and count how many DATES they predicted certain events to happen on. Read how many of these dates 'passed by' with nothing happening. Read how they also use the excuses that they were imperfect men who made mistakes, were over enthusiastic, were well meaning and willing you , the reader, to see that their motivation was with the best of intentions.
This AWAKE oct 8th, 1968, pg 23 .- shows the org. condeming others, yet don't realize they are condemning themselves by their own words.
"True, there have been those in times past who predicted and "end to the world", even announcing SPECIFIC DATES. Some have gathered groups of people with them and fled to the hills or withdrawn into their houses waiting for the end. Yet NOTHING happened. The "end DID NOT come". They were guilty of FALSE PROPHESYING. Why? What was missing?
Missing was the full measure of evidence required in fulfillment of bible prophecy. Missing from such people were God's truths, and the evidence that he was GUIDING and USING them."
Other Flaws
USE OF PYRAMIDOLOGY (1 cor 10 : 2) "THE DIVINE PLAN OF THE AGES" written by Russell in( 1886 ) Contains a chart linking the ages of mankind with the ~Great Pyramid of Egypt. The length of certain passages and measurements of the internal chambers in the pyramid was said to be full of scriptural meaning and even indicated the time for the beginning of the Great Tribulation. Other dates verified by this use of the pyramid - 1874, 1914 and 1925. It was believed that this pyramid was built under God's direction. (The way to paradise book 1924 - "It's harmony with the Bible teachings prove that God designed it".) Since then all the evidence has pointed to the fact that it wasn,t constructed at Gods direction. It was a monument erected to ASTROLOGY. They made this clear in ( WT Dec 1st, 1928). For 42Yrs this thought of the pyramid was taught in the WT organization. ( 2 cor 6 : 14, 15).
HISTORY OF FLUCTUATING TEACHINGS... eg. "This Generation" Changes in org are viewed as progressive, but with regard to other religions, any changes or contradictions in their teachings are somehow "wrong" or proof that they are "false".
Whatever changes that come they will be announced as the product of 'divine revelation '. Doctrines and teachings can, will and have been discarded and been replaced by NEW LIGHT but ask yourself.....If god is directing the WTS by means of his holy spirit, how is it possible that doctrines that were taught for decades are now WRONG? Why does he allow his Channel to teach errors and make false prophecies? Why is the entire history littered with doctrinal reversals? Does God make mistakes? Is God learning new things all the time and that's why there's new light being sent so that he can clean up all the things he got wrong? Does the Holy Spirit purposely mislead people?
CHILD ABUSE POLICY They take no action unless there is a confession or there are TWO credible witnesses. They base this flawed reasoning on the scripture at (deut 19 : 15). If the person denies the accusation and there are not 2 witnesses, then there are virtually no repercussions and no-one besides the elders ever knows. The abuser is free to still roam the kingdom hall and assemblies. All problems, even of this nature are encouraged to be taken to the elders FIRST, who in turn phone the LEGAL DEPT., and then @maybe' the police will be involved. The victim then has to be at the KH knowing the paedophile will also be in attendance. If the victim speaks of this, they can be accused of slander, and can be disfellowshipped.
MEMBERSHIP WITH UNITED NATIONS Rev Book chap 33 para 16,17,21 Depicts the UN as a blaspemous org. that has the corrupt religions of the world prostitute themselves with it. Rev Book pg 248 , WT 1st may, 1999 pg 17, WT march 15th, 1990 pg 8 , - describes the UN as a revival of the "wild beast". The org, claims that the UN is the beast of revelation, and the enemy of God, yet they quietly entered into a relationship with it for 10yrs. (see THE GUARDIAN newspaper (UK) oct. 8th, 2001).
There are many more things that could be mentioned , but to be honest , only one of the above would suffice in proving how flawed, this organization really is. In my opinion, my staying a part of this org. meant that I was a vote in support of all of the above. Please research these things for yourself and please tell me and everyone else on this board that you still think this to be a "perfect" organization. Do you really think Jehovah would be proud to have his name attatched to it ? Are you proud to have your name attatched to it ?
