I didn't say the Watchtower has taught this since 1876. The first Watchtower was issued July, 1879. I said: "Jehovah's Witnesses have recognized 1914 as the end of 'the times of the Gentiles' since 1876." This was in an article printed in the October 1876 issue of the Bible Examiner. Maybe I should have said the Bible Students, who adopted the name Jehovah's Witnesses in 1931, have taught this. Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses were mistaken in their expectations about 1914, 1925 and 1975. The Bible says: "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mark 13:32) What's worse is when a person realizes his mistakes, but refuses to correct them! I don't think the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses has ever claimed to be "infallible." (Acts 1:6, 7; Luke 19:11; Daniel 12:8; 1 Corinthians 13:12) Stokey. |

"What's worse is when a person realizes his mistakes, but refuses to correct them!" Which they did not do...Tiem corrected them, and many people who had sold everything to go proclaim the news of Armageddon were just out of luck. The Watchtower Society claims to be the reliable interpreters of Scripture, and has lied to its followers time and time again. --Joe! |

Of course time corrects us! The Bible says that's how we learn! (See Proverbs 11:3; Luke 21:29-31) Did the Watchtower Society tell them to sell everything? So, Are you saying we shouldn't preach "this gospel of the kingdom"? (Matthew 24:14) Are you saying we shouldn't proclaim "the day of vengeance"? (Isaiah 61:2) The Society doesn't claim to be an "infallible" interpreter of Scripture. "Lied to its followers time and time again" is quite an accusation. You're accusing them of being serial liars and providing no examples. Shame on you! Were you ever baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses? Stokey |
