Watchtower's unscriptual boasting about works

Diogenesister

Nothing big here, just a little musing on this scripture at Ephesians 2.8-9 that definately states that only faith saves, not works, in case men start to boast about their amazing works."8for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not of works, that no one would boast. "

Well my word, I would definately say Witnesses *do nothing but boast*, especially now on jw Broadcast. In fact many exJW'S call KH meetings " boasting sessions" LoL!

Great point.

Also, Jesus supposedly said "when making gifts of mercy, do not let your right hand know what your left is doing"

The organisation does indeed love making great proclamations about its work, especially to help fellow witnesses in natural disasters! No humility or modesty there....

This group is insufferable with the boasting and bragging.

If they removed all the boasting and self congratulations in all its forms from the literature and talks how much content would there be.

Half banana

Narcissists who make up and broadcast self praise.... Yuch!

Don't forget JWTV, too.

When asked about their boasting and bragging, the JW spokesman unabashedly answered, "We brag and boast more than any other religious organization on earth. That tells me we definitely have the truth."

I looked into this awhile back and the United Bible Society are doing way more preaching in more languages :

From Wikipedia, they surpass WTBTS by far :

The Bible is the most translated book in the world. The United Bible Societies announced that as of 31 December 2007 the complete Bible was available in 438 languages, 123 of which included the deuterocanonical material as well as the Tanakh and New Testament. Either the Tanakh or the New Testament was available in an additional 1,168 languages. In 1999, Wycliffe Bible Translators announced Vision 2025—a project that intends to commence Bible translation in every remaining language community by 2025. They currently estimate that around 209 million people, representing 2.95% of the world's population, speak those 1,967 languages where translation work still needs to begin. In November 2012, Wycliffe stated that parts of the Bible are available in 2,798 languages out of the 6,877 known languages, and that there are currently 518 languages with a complete Bible translation. At least 5 billion people (71% of the world's population) have access to a full Bible translation in their native language. Wycliffe added that a further 595 million (8.5% of the world's population), representing 1,275 languages, have at least the New Testament in their first language. An additional 1,005 languages (almost 20% of the world's population) were reported to have at least one book of the Bible available. By September 2012, personnel from participating Bible translation organizations were involved in 2,075 language programs.
