HOW THE SECT OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES HAS PROVED THEY ARE THE APOSTATE "MAN OF LAWLESSNESS" DESCRIBED IN 2 THESSALONIANS 2:1-12.

In an article on page 19 of the March 15th 1986 issue of The Watchtower the apostate "man of lawlessness" tried to cover the tracks of the apostate errors of their past by slithering away from many of the "swelling expressions of no profit" published in JW books since the apostate Charles Taze Russell founded their organization. (2 Peter 2:18). With reference to their apostate ideas they wrote: 'Yes, Jehovah's people have had to revise expectations from time to time. Because of our eagerness, we have hoped for the new system earlier than Jehovah's timetable has called for it. But we display our faith in God's Word and its sure promises by declaring its message to others. Moreover, the need to revise our understanding somewhat does not make us false prophets or change the fact that we are living in "the last days"'.

Sadly, their presumptuous predictions and erroneous interpretations of God's Word have misled millions of people! And it most certainly does make them false prophets. Notice the phrase: 'Moreover, the need to revise our understanding'. HOW SMOOTH! The truth is they need to revise their understanding because they press ahead presumptuously without direction from the Holy Spirit of God. And yet they actually claim to be the anointed governing body of the organization of God on earth! This is a lie. "So that is why God lets an operation of error go to them, that they may get to believing the lie, in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thess 2:11).

The truth is that "in the fullness of the ages" "all things in heaven and earth alike" will be "gathered up in Christ". (Eph 1:10 Moffatt). This is described as "unity in Christ" in the New English Bible. It does not mean a self-appointed JW administration that scatters true servants of God while at the same time nations of the world still rule. JW apostates teach that the Gentiles lost their dominion in 1914. Then let them answer this question: Why is the political "wild beast" still ruling worldwide 81 years later?

In this same article JWs had the gall to ask this of their detractors: 'What is the motive of these critics?' The answer: To expose the innumerable false prophecies, apostate teachings and spirit lawlessness that JWs publish in their many books while falsely claiming they are anointed sons of God. They are being revealed by the Spirit of the Holy Word of God made known to His anointed sons, and they will be done away with by the Spirit of the Lord's mouth. (2 Thess 2:6 8).

In the January 1st 1986 issue of The Watchtower, pg.13, after referring to the immorality of prominent members of the JW organization, they go on to state: 'during the past year, 36,638 individuals had to be disfellowshipped from the Christian congregation, the greater number of them for practising immorality.' If they were to clear out all the apostasy revealed by the "Little Scroll" there would be no one left in their organization! After their apostasy is made manifest to them, The Christ Michael will do away with the "man of lawlessness" and they will perish. (2 Thess 2:8). In 1986 the recorded membership of JWs was 3,395,612, indicating a disfellowshipping ratio of 1 in 93. Of course, JWs are unlikely to confess that some who have left their organization are listening to the Lord's command to "Get out of her, My people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins", but hopefully they got out when they realized they were being subjected to apostate mental programming and hostile character building. (Rev 18:4).

When apostate 'elders' and their brainwashed followers perish at the manifestation of our Lord's presence, true servants of God will rejoice, for they will have survived the "day of Jehovah". (See Page 21/4/95 of the "Little Scroll" concerning the beloved people of God who until now have been those "left entirely and hated, with nobody passing through". Isaiah 60:14,15).
