  After doing some critical research upon the Watchtower Corporation and its activity as a religious publishing house one can clearly see this is a commercialized false prophet run by sinning apostate men.

  So the question remains why are people adhering and supporting this organization thinking they are going to gain salvation come judgment day by Jesus ?
  

  Jesus laid out instructions in how to identify false Prophets, maybe he should have elaborated and said something about false Prophets who would sell his gospel for profit. $$$
  

  This relates to more than the men who ran the WTS. there are hundreds who have sold the Gospel of Jesus and pocketed the money to live off, usually by exploiting and manipulating the prophecies in the book of Revelation.

  Religious charlatans have been doing this by publishing literature and selling them to the public going right back to the 1800's, disregarding Jesus's own instructions for preaching his gospel in the process.

  Hypothetically thinking, how would Jesus react or do if he saw his apostles selling his Gospel on the streets to where he preached and traveled about. ?

  I think the Jesus was selling hope and fantasy. Obviously people have been saying they have raised the dead for centuries without evidence. So the Jesus was a huckster just like his multiple nutty adherents. The WT and others are simply dupes who have learned the only real thing about leveraging the Jesus is money and power over fellow believers.

  “You Received Free, Give Free''
  Watchtower 2003 8/1 pages 20-22
  By way of contrast, Jehovah’s Witnesses endeavor to imitate Jesus and his early disciples. They have no paid clergy. Each Witness is a minister charged with the responsibility of preaching the “good news of the kingdom” to others. (Matthew 24:14) Over six million of them worldwide are therefore engaged in bringing “life’s water” free to the people. (Revelation 22:17) In this way, even those who “have no money” can benefit from the Bible’s message. (Isaiah 55:1) Although their worldwide work is funded by voluntary donations, they never solicit money. As true ministers of God, they are not “peddlers of the word of God,” but they speak “out of sincerity, yes, as sent from God.” —2 Corinthians 2:17.

  Really? The WTBTS is the biggest ''peddler of the word of God.''

  How many books, Watchtower & Awake Magazines subscriptions were either sold to its members or the general public? How many 180-page books were printed? How many times were we reminded in ''Our Ministry School'' to try to place these books 180-page (where the general public would never understand or have no interest in reading?) Were these books collecting dust in a warehouse and needed to be cleared out? Someone had to pay for the printing of these books!

  Hypothetically thinking, how would Jesus react or do if he saw his apostles selling his Gospel on the streets to where he preached and traveled about. ?

  Today, if Jesus ( if he was real ) would walk into a local Kingdom Hall library and throw all books off the shelf. Most of these books are ''old light'' anyway.

  Good point R & R
  

  One could honestly say its the incoming money that keeps these men operating and continue to sin as it were.

  The GB have said in their literature that they too are sinful imperfect men, ain't that the "Truth"

  The truth of the Gospel of Jesus is not to be found by these propagating men and never was.

  Money and power was more on these men's agenda and endeavors, the only problem they left were the unfortunate people who got caught up in their sinful apostate ways.

  Their sole action was to create doctrines and teachings that would lure people to them , then these allured to ones would be mentally manipulated and exploited to serve the will and means of these men , not god's to be sure.

  Ecclesiastes 12:12 KJV - And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

  And if men create doctrines which aren't scripturaly supported and made to proliferate literature then you have people studying and absorbing those men's sins or false teachings.
