Bible Note: 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. |
