The WTS / JWS have been a commercialized false prophet for many years and that has come about by its
inherently own literature proliferation agenda. . In other words the Gospel it professed and taught was a tainted and corrupt Gospel.
False Prophets
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see
whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into
the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that
confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every
spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit
of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world
already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for
he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from
the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to
them. ...

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will

heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon
themselves swift destruction.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great
signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites,
as it is written, “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their
heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines
the commandments of men.’ You leave the commandment of God and hold to
the tradition of men.” And he said to them, “You have a fine way of
rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!
But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have
not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods,
that same prophet shall die.’
And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of
fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they
will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own
appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of
the naive.
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
How long shall there be lies in the heart of the prophets who
prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart,
But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have
not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods,
that same prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we
know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’— when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom

“‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in
its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had
received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These
two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising
themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan
disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his
servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their
end will correspond to their deeds.

You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your
father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing
to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he
speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of
lies.

“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord,
the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who care for my people:
“You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not
attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds,
declares the Lord. Then I will gather the
remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them,
and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and
multiply. I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and
they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing,
declares the Lord. “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign
as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in
the land. ...
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called
you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not
that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want
to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven
should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you,
let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If
anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received,
let him be accursed.
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven
heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads.
And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a
bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave
his power and his throne and great authority. One of its heads seemed
to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole
earth marveled as they followed the beast. And they worshiped the
dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped
the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against
it?” And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous
words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

They have seen false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘Declares the Lord,’ when the Lord has not sent them, and yet they expect him to fulfill their word.
“If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you

But in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: they

And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.
And the Lord said to me: “The prophets are
prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them
or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless
divination, and the deceit of their own minds. Therefore thus says the Lord
concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although I did not send
them, and who say, ‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: By
sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed. And the people to
whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem,
victims of famine and sword, with none to bury them—them, their wives,
their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon
them.
When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is it you, you troubler of
Israel?” And he answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you have,
and your father's house, because you have abandoned the commandments of
the Lord and followed the Baals. Now therefore
send and gather all Israel to me at Mount Carmel, and the 450 prophets
of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table.” So
Ahab sent to all the people of Israel and gathered the prophets
together at Mount Carmel. And Elijah came near to all the people and
said, “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If
the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” And the people did not answer him a word. ...
It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to

yet lived.
Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,
“Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do

“On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of
David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and

they shall be remembered no more. And also I will remove from the land
the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness. And if anyone again
prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ‘You
shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord.’
And his father and mother who bore him shall pierce him through when he
prophesies. “On that day every prophet will be ashamed of his vision
when he prophesies. He will not put on a hairy cloak in order to

He also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength

For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of
the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we
know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs
that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly,
I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of
God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can
he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” Jesus
answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and
the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. ...
The conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion

Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy

And behold, a man of God came out of Judah by the word of the Lord to Bethel. Jeroboam was standing by the altar to make offerings. And the man cried against the altar by the word of the Lord and said, “O altar, altar, thus says the Lord:
‘Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name, and
he shall sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who make
offerings on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.’” And he gave a
sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign that the Lord
has spoken: ‘Behold, the altar shall be torn down, and the ashes that
are on it shall be poured out.’” And when the king heard the saying of
the man of God, which he cried against the altar at Bethel, Jeroboam
stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him.” And his
hand, which he stretched out against him, dried up, so that he could not
draw it back to himself. The altar also was torn down, and the ashes
poured out from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had
given by the word of the Lord. ...
