- It's amazing to track the confusion and stupidity contained in WT articles. -
- In only one Watchtower you can find multiple contradictory statements, and representations of truth that are simply lies Made up on the fly. -
- As an example the Nov,15 2014 WT has the following quotes : -
"Who are the two witnesses mentioned in Revelation chapter 11?"
"Revelation 11:3 speaks of two witnesses who would prophesy for 1,260 days. The account then says that the wild beast would “conquer them and kill them.” But after “three and a half days,” these two witnesses would be brought back to life, much to the amazement of all onlookers.—Rev. 11: 7, 11." "Interestingly, Revelation 11:1, 2 links these events to a time when the spiritual temple would be measured, or evaluated. Malachi chapter 3 mentions a similar inspection of the spiritual temple, followed by a time of cleansing. (Mal. 3: 1-4) How long did this inspection and cleansing work take? It extended from 1914 to the early part of 1919. This period of time includes both the 1,260 days (42 months) and the symbolic three and a half days referred to in Revelation chapter 11."
- This same magazine has this quote - " Nathan Knorr, who became a member of the Governing Body, readily accepted points in the 1925 Watch Tower article “Birth of the Nation,” even though some others questioned them. Such obedience deeply impressed the brother. Pondering over the words of the three men just quoted can help you prove yourself holy by being obedient."
- The November 2014 WT highlights the stance that Brother Knorr took, which proves his obedience -
- To review the 1925 Watchtower & Article that he readily accepted : -
- Taken from " 1925 Watch Tower article “Birth of the Nation" -
"If we find that almost all of the numbers of Revelation are properly interpreted as literal, why should we conclude that the days mentioned. in the twelfth chapter are symbolic, and stretch them out over so many years? If we find that the physical facts are in harmony with a literal 1260 days, would this not be strong corroborative proof that the Lord intended the number to be taken as literal?"
- Notice the claim that "almost" all numbers in Revelation are Literal (I'm not quote sure what that means, perhaps they can just pick and choose which are literal?) -
"To recapitulute, stating the points in the chronological order as we bElieve they have transpired in fulfillment of this prophecy, we find the following to be the facts: "
"87. From 1878 to 1914 the people of Zion were expecting the birth of the new nation. At the same time the dragon stood by, waiting to devour whatsoever was born. In 1914 the birth of the nation occurred. In 1914 the war in heaven began, and Satan and his official family were thrown out of heaven. In 1918, after Satan recovered from his dazed condition, he set about to persecute the members of the Church on earth. In 1918 he caused the imprisonment of the officers of the SOCIETY and others. On March 26th, 1919, these were released from prison; and the Church (representing the woman) there fled into the wilderness for 1260 literal days. From March 27th, 1919, to September 8th, 1922, inclusive was exactly 1260 days, at the end of which period the remnant of the Church on earth makes a bold proclamation of its allegiance to the King and his kingdom, and announces its determination to begin and press the fight against Satan's empire until it is excluded from the earth."
- So According to the November 2014 Watchtower brother Knorr, who was a spirit anointed member of the Governing Body, "readily accepted" a false teaching, and a false proclamation of fulfillment of prophecy. -
- The fact that they use Bro.Knorr as an example of Obedience,and then only 20 pages later they prove the exact article that Bro.Knorr believed in as False, is incredible! It's evident that these people in the Writing Department do not have any editors or "fact" checkers. -
