What is Watch Tower Society?

Question

1. Do they have an agenda?
2. Are the people of integrity?
3. Have they mis-interepreted the bible?
4. Why they do not believe in Trinity?

Answer 1

The Watch Tower Society is registered as a publishing company so I guess their agenda is to publish (and distribute) and many books and magazines as they can. They get faithful, dedicated Jehovah's Witnesses (known as publishers) to do the distribution, from door to door.

The individual Jehovah's Witnesses are absolutely people of integrity. Honest, God-fearing, Bible-believing and sincere people. However, I question the integrity of the ORGANISATION, the Watch Tower Society. Please be careful to note the difference between the individual members of the organisation and the leaders of the organisation itself.

Have they (the Watch Tower Society) mis-interpreted the Bible? Oh, yes. See previous answers given. A classic example is the way in which they have dropped any reference to Jesus as being God (with a capital G) and demoted him to a mere god (lower case g).

Why they do not believe in the Trinity? It is true that the word Trinity does not appear anywhere in the Bible. It is true that the trinitarian doctrine was introduced into the Christian church after the New Testament was written. However, the main reason they have rejected the Trinity is because they have never understood the divine nature of Christ, or of the Holy Spirit and they claim the trinity concept is pagan. Unfortunately, they do not understand the doctrine of the triune nature of the Godhead and repeatedly misrepresent it. Bottom line is, if they accepted the divinity of Christ, they would have to worship Him. The leaders of the Watch Tower Society tell their followers the Trinity is of the Devil, and their followers believe the Watch Tower Society. Get it?

Answer 2

The Watchtower Society is a corporation based in America, registered as a publishing organization. Its business is to print religious literature unique to the religion of the Jehovah's Witness faith.

Almost every organization has an agenda. The WTS has one too. If you want to know what it is, you'd better ask another Q.

Now you are mixing things up. Do you mean the organization, or individual JWs? The latter have great integrity. The organization, however, has its own sense of integrity based on its claim to be, uniquely, "the faithful and discreet slave" class of Matthew chapter 24. If that claim is unsound, then it has no Christian integrity whatsoever.

All Christian denominations are open to the charge of mis-interpreting the Bible. No Christian denomination is perfect - they have all made mistakes in this regard. If it's a matter of degree, then you'd better ask another Q.

They absolutely abhor the Trinity doctrine. See previous (and myriad) Yahoo Qs & As on the subject.

Answer 3

What is Watch Tower Society?

The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, is a not-for-profit corporation headquartered in the New York City.

1. To Aid Jehovah's witnesses with the fulfillment of Matthew 24:14 by supplying scripture reference publications.

2. They follow Christ.

3. Nope

4. The head of Christ is God, thus Jesus is not a equal part of a Godhead. - 1Cr 11:3

Answer 4

The agenda is to preach God's word.
Jehovah's Witnesses are the most trusted, honest people you will meet.
The bible has been translated into American English...We live in the new world...America...so it's the new world translation.
The personal name of God that King James decided to omit 7000 times was put back. And things like when the evildoer being crucified next to Jesus asked Jesus to remember him in the paradise...Jesus told ...I tell you today, you Will be with me in paradise. Paradise to Jehovah's witnesses is earth. The original purpose for the earth was to have perfect people on a perfect earth ruled from heaven....the first pair, rebelled and disobeyed God due to their listening to a fallen angel, Satan.
So the new heavens is where Jesus will rule from...over the new earth where the meek will be to accept their inheritance.

God's first commandment is he is God and we are to have no other gods. He doesn't give his glory to anyone else. He is the supreme authority.
He has granted his son a weighty task...to clean up the earth for righteous individuals that want to obey....and since Jesus has already cleansed the heavens he will rule for 1000 years and then the kingdom will go on forever under the leadership of The Almighty...as it should have been all along.

The holy spirit is an active force or helper for Jesus from God to accomplish his tasks.

Answer 5

Kait, it seems like you did a lot of research on the JW's. Or you once was one and you know the inside info. I read here on R&S from other answerers that Jehovah Witnesses are a Cult. Why is it if a Religion as you say "got so much faith and belief in God Almighty", can be a Cult? I don't see the connection there. I have strong Faith and belief in God the Father and Son and Holy Spirit; I don't consider me to be a Cult. Can you clarify "Cult"?

Answer 6

They are a religious group, Jehovah Witnesses. They have an agenda, they have the integrity of most religious groups (which means very low), Every few years they claim the Bible says the world ill end soon (obviously none of the dates were correct), and several "christian" religions do not accept the trinity (like the Mormons)...

They are a group with the especially bad habit of continuing to bother you at home if you ever let them into your life. They do not give up because your soul is more important than your privacy, and/or peace and quiet.

Answer 7

The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is a criminal entity that publishes Bibles and Bible-based components. Jehovah's Witnesses are contributors of a worldwide Christian faith who actively share with others information approximately God, whose call is Jehovah, and approximately his Son, Jesus Christ. We base our ideals entirely on the concepts stumbled on in the Holy Bible and look at first-century Christianity as our kind. We have faith that as properly to drawing one nearer to God, residing with the aid of Bible concepts supplies objective to existence, promotes good relatives ties, and develops effective and common electorate. That reported, Do the Witnesses have faith that their faith is the only stunning one? anybody who's extreme approximately his faith ought to think of that it is the suitable one. in any different case, why could she or he be in touch in it? Christians are admonished: "make particular of all issues; carry quickly to what's super." (a million Thessalonians 5:21) someone ought to make particular that his ideals may be supported with the aid of the Scriptures, for there is merely one genuine faith. Ephesians 4:5 confirms this, pointing out "one Lord, one faith, one baptism." Jesus did no longer believe the in demand, comfortable view that there are various roads, many faiths, all maximum well known to salvation. rather, he reported: "narrow is the gate and cramped the line maximum well known off into existence, and few are those looking it." Jehovah's Witnesses have faith that they have stumbled on it. in any different case, they could seek for yet another faith.—Matthew 7:14. Do they suspect that they are the only ones who would be saved? No. hundreds of thousands that have lived in centuries previous and who weren't Jehovah's Witnesses gets back in a resurrection and have an probability for existence. Many now residing could yet take a stand for actuality and righteousness previously the "super tribulation," and that they are going to benefit salvation. besides, Jesus reported that we ought to continuously no longer be judging one yet another. we glance on the outward visual attraction; God seems on the heart. He sees accurately and judges mercifully. He has committed judgment into Jesus' arms, no longer ours.—Matthew 7:a million-5; 24:21; 25:31.

Answer 8

So-called "Jehovah's Witnesses"- whose witnesses they are not - are part of a very mind-controlling cult, the Watchtower Tract Society (WTS) which forbids them to even read this.

The answers to your questions are yes to 1 +3, and overall to #2, except that many elders who know better, purposely use deceit and lawyer tactics when confronted with evidence by knowledgeable Christians. As for #4, it is because they are blinded by the devil (2Cor. 4:4), whose "gospel" they believe, as it promotes the sin that they can be saved partly on their own merits, thereby exalting man and demeaning God. This is also why the rob Jesus of His Divinity, which is made clear by the Holy Spirit in the Bible: http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/DEITYofCHRIST.html.

As a result of giving into the deceptions of the devil, they have made multiple explicitly false prophecies over many years which are easily documented, as are the errors of their other false teachings. http://www.watchman.org/profile/jwpro.htm
http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/TheBIBLEandSoCalledJEHOVAHS-WITNESSES.html

In Scripture, a soul is utterly destitute of any merit whereby he can escape punishment in Hell - which the WTS denies - nor gain eternal life with God - which they allocated to only 144,000 (but which are Jews, and only a part all part of the Heavenly crowd see in Rev. 7). But by humbling oneself before Christ as a lost sinner, and deciding they want Him over sin, and trusting and asking Jesus to save them, one is forgiven on His expense, and made spiritually alive by His Holy Spirit. This indwelling as well also the person of the Holy Spirit they deny (only their mythical 144,000 are said to be born again, but they deny they gospel that brings it), and thus have no part in His kingdom (Jn. 3:3-7).

Rom. 8:9: "Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ [in him-v.10], he is none of His."

Many "Jehovah's Witnesses" have recognized the error of their teachings and become saved by repentance directly toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus and so have become"Jesus Witnesses " - which is what He said to be (Acts 1:8), and so share the story with others. http://www.jwinfoline.com/Page/audio2.htm

May all find peace by Jesus

Answer 9

For all answers to be correct, they MUST come from the SOURCE, wouldn't you agree?

See link below for all information you want about Jehovah's Witnesses.
It is the ONLY official site & the only one that does not tell lies about us!!! This link below tells SPECIFICALLY what we believe with Scriptural references.
http://www.watchtower.org/e/jt/index.htm?article=article_03.htm


Yes, we have an agenda. To spread the Good News all around the world, which is happening. We are in over 236 lands & print material & Bibles in over 400 languages!
http://www.watchtower.org/e/jt/index.htm?article=article_03.htm

We are people of integrity. Our faith is unwaiverable.
We obey God as ruler, rather than man.
http://www.watchtower.org/e/19980115/article_01.htm

We have not misinterpreted the Bible. We use a Bible translation that is interpreted STRAIGHT from the Original Greek & Hebrew. http://www.watchtower.org/library/w/2005/7/15/article_01.htm

We do not believe in the Trinity, because Jehovah God SENT His Son to the EARTH, they are seperate entities.
The Holy Spirit is God's power/ force that He uses to get what He wants accomplished. http://www.watchtower.org/e/200607a/article_01.htm

Have a good day!☺

Answer 10

Yes, to preach the Good News of the Kingdom.

Yes, some of the most honest people you'll find.

No, they have one of the most accurate bibles available, based on the works of Westcott and Hort. Codex Vatacanus 1209, and other accurate material.


Concerning the trinity,
There are 31 misapplied or mistranslated verses used to support the trinity doctrine.
There are hundreds of sound verses, that support that Jesus is an subordinate creature of God.

John 20:17 Jesus told her, "Don't hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
