Neo: The the scriptures most emphasized (hmm...maybe that's what the conductor was doing in advance of the new Awake?) were from Zeph 2:3.
Zephaniah 2
1 Gather together, gather together,
O shameful nation,
2 before the appointed time arrives
and that day sweeps on like chaff,
before the fierce anger of the LORD comes upon you,
before the day of the LORD's wrath comes upon you.
3 Seek the LORD , all you humble of the land,
you who do what he commands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility;
perhaps you will be sheltered
on the day of the LORD's anger.
This scripture is psychotically and phobicly recanted at each and every opportunuity in JW circles. It was preached to me thousands of times while I was growing up. It is a direct assault on Christianity which GUARANTEES salvation through Christ alone, which was illustrated in the well witnessed Resurrection. That caveat IS the object of faith which is the enemy of the WT. For without it, the WT has no purpose.... publishers would not need them if they had faith "in Christ", which is a term that appears almost 200 times in the NT btw.
The NWT changes the word "perhaps" to "probably" to further the heresy and to bolster WT importance. Funny how they never quote verse one which clearly indicates that this scripture is directed to the ENTIRE nation and NOT to individuals. Christ came to save individuals, not nations or religions or organizations.
