Äärimmäinen epärehellisyys

Srsly kirjoitti:

Jälleen kerran on huomattava kuinka epärehellistä tekstiä Vartiotorniseura pystyykään tuottamaan, vielä hämmästyttävämpää ettei sitä juuri kukaan todistaja suostu myöntämään.

Vartiotorniseura puhukoon puolestaan:

"Orja saa siis ohjausta Jehovalta. Siksi voimme luottaa täysin siihen raamatulliseen ymmärrykseen ja opastukseen, jota orja meille antaa." (Vartiotorni 15. helmikuuta 2009, s. 24, 25)

"Uskollinen orja on myös ymmärtäväinen siinä mielessä, ETTÄ SE EI TOIMI JULKEASTI MENEMÄLLÄ JEHOVAN EDELLE" (Vartiotorni 15. helmikuuta 2009, s. 27)

"And, with the end of A.D. 1914, what God calls Babylon, and what men call Christendom, will have passed away, as is already shown from prophecy."
-Thy Kingdom Come

".. the overthrow of the professedly Christian kingdoms, really 'kingdoms of this world', and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God in the earth at A.D. 1914 .."-Thy kingdom Come

".. the battle of the great day of God Almighty.. so great is our confidence in the Word of God and in the light of present truth shining upon it, that we could not have doubted its testimony whatever had been the appearances. The date of the close of that 'battle' is definitely marked in Scripture as October, 1914. It is already in progress, its beginning dating from October, 1874." {ZWT Jan 15 1892 repr 1355}

"Also, in the year 1918, when God destroys the churches wholesale and the church members by millions, it shall be that any that escape shall come to the works of Pastor Russell to learn the meaning of the downfall of 'Christianity'."
-Studies in the Scriptures VII - The Finished Mystery

"After 1925 expect shortly Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob.. No doubt many boys and girls who read this book will live to see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Daniel, and those other men of old come forth in the glory of their better resurrection, of perfect in mind and body. It will not take long for Christ to appoint them to their post of honor and authority as his earthly representatives. The world and all the present conveniences will seen strange to them at first, but they will soon become accustomed to the new methods. They may have some amusing experiences at first; for they never saw telephones, radios, automobiles, electric lights, aeroplanes, steam engines, and many other things so familiar to us." -The way to paradise (1924)

"We understand that the jubilee type began to count in 1575 B.C.; and the 3,500 year period embracing the type must end in 1925.. It follows, then, that the year 1925 will mark the beginning of the restoration of all things lost by Adam's disobedience." {WT Nov 1 1922 346}

"Receiving the gift, [Rutherford's book, Children] the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon." {WT Sep 15 1941 288}

"If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. Of the generation that observed the beginning of the 'last days' in 1914, Jesus foretold: 'This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.'
-AWAK May 22 1969 15

"The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century." {WT Jan 1 1989 12}

Ei mikään ihme että järjestön tulevaisuus ei näytä kovin lupaavalta...
