Keeping in mind that ALL the utterances coming forth from Brooklyn have been taught as truth, and expected to be accepted as such by the JWs. All the proofs mentioned above were all taught as "gospel truth" and each "revision" was see as new light.
Considering that God hasn't changed, Jesus hasn't changed and most of all---the bible hasn't changed-----we can plainly see that the Watchtower views have changed. What is taught as truth has proven to be in error. Many times.
As the bible says----no man knows the hour (let alone the year) and frankly, I don't worry about it. Living our lives to the best of our ability and being kind and helpful to others is what Jesus said to do----and should be quite enough to handle without concerning ourselves with the "what-ifs" of foolish old men who prophesy false dates and end times.
You are correct; the Congregations of Jehovahs Witnesses are not the only True Faith that they claim to be. They are not the only faith that will be allowed to live in the end, as they teach. This was the business portion of the world of Satan. Many teach that they are the true faith in order to gather people that are willing to donate monies to support their division. Why do you need a building as a place of worship? In this wicked world it was better to collect donations for the people in need of financial assistance, then to build a structure for many, which destroys the land and creates commercial wealth for whomever holds the title to the dwelling.
The governing body taught those of the faith not to war against one another. However, they take it to extreme, where they require the flock to risk their lives by teaching a message that no person wants to hear. It is better to sound out your way of belief in whatever medium reaches the masses, and allow those weak in faith to grasp the teaching at their own will. Jesus Christ instructed his apostles to wipe off their feet in the places that did not accept the teachings, not to tell them they would lose their lives literally. A person gains another's life by teaching them how not to be deceived by this wicked world, and by teaching them how to survive in happiness, built up with wisdom. This was the basis of the teachings of Jesus Christ, which he learned from His Father, Jehovah God.
Man did not listen to their God Jehovah and created all of the violence in the world. Even Satan did not teach man to kill, but deceived them by having them cling to desires of the flesh, and disobedience. Which would be the wiser choice if your homeland were invaded by another country? Is it better to flee to a safe area, or to stay back and fight for a piece of land? The prophecies warned about the impending danger that was built up by man in the days of the Romans in 70 C.E. This was not caused by Jehovah God, but written in the bible in order to sound warning to the loved ones of Jehovah God. All people upon the earth are the children of their creator Jehovah. The ones in the Middle East chose to fight in retaliation to those that invaded their country unlawfully, as it was not a war authorized by Jehovah God. Jehovah only authorized war in self-defense, and allowed it in disobedience. Mans war is only allowed till the time that Jehovah God is able to take control under the provisions of the "KINGDOM OF JEHOVAH" with Jesus Christ as King.
This time of joy has now come to the fore and Jesus Christ is knocking at the doors. Are you willing to admit to all truth once it is established? This is the way of a Christian, that they accept truth and disregard that which has been proven to be false. The people in the Middle East are the chosen ones of God by birthright, and are the Holy Ones spoken of in the bible. As long as you have the teaching of love in your heart, share this with others and just instruct them to look out for their Savior Jesus Christ.
