According to WTS' Proclaimers book, the WTS has never had one single false teaching or prophecy, is it true?

How is this claim even possible?According to WTS' Proclaimers book, the WTS has never had one single false teaching or prophecy, is it true?
They remove the word “prophecy” in connection with their prophecies once it is realized that they are not true. All during the period of time Russell’s and Rutherford’s dates/events were being proclaimed they were said to be “in fulfillment of Bible prophecy.” This has been true of every prophecy that has ever come from the Watchtower Society. That’s why Jehovah’s Witnesses have believed them. But once their prophecies are discarded, the word “prophecy” is also discarded.





1. They present what they say “in the name of Jehovah”


2. But “the word does not occur or come true”





The Proclaimers book states more than once that Russell never took credit for any of the dates/events he came up with. When, for example, it is realized that he said that all his dates were “[Jehovah’s] dates,” and Rutherford said that the date of 1925 was “based upon the promises set forth in [Jehovah’s] Word”—and and yet what these men so often said did not occur or come true—it looks like the Bible is


trying to tell them that those men were false prophets. But the Governing Body will not allow the Bible to tell them that. Why not? Because such a conclusion does not fit what they have chosen to believe; what they need to believe. The Governing Body knows that the above “opposers” and “opponents” are correct. Their Proclaimers book shows that many “dates have been set, but nothing has happened”


over and over again. And so why doesn’t this fact convince them that Russell and Rutherford were at least false teachers if not false prophets? Again, the answer to this question cannot be found in the


evidence. It is hidden in the realm of their need to believe what they want to believe. In order for their entire lives not to have been wasted by following an illusion, these men must be able to believe that the Society is God’s organization no matter what contrary evidence exists. But they know they cannot believe it if Russell and Rutherford were false teachers/prophets. And they also know (even if only subconsciously) that if those men were false teachers/prophets


then they themselves as members of today’s Governing Body are out of a job. If Russell and Rutherford were not part of Jesus’ “faithful and discreet slave class” then the present members of the Governing Body aren’t either.According to WTS' Proclaimers book, the WTS has never had one single false teaching or prophecy, is it true?
I personally can not think of a group who is more inaccurate than the WBS.





They rewrite their history and theology so the newer converts believe them and do not take the time to investigate their false claims or jaded past.





Don't know about the proclaimers book stopped reading JW fiction about 27 years ago
A false teaching would imply deviousness and deliberate misinformation. This is not the case with WTS





It is all in the intent





God knows the intent of the heart,..if the past information was loaded with inaccuracies based on limited insight of that time, but the intent was sincere and it has now since been corrected...then of course it would be called a past truth/error because that is what was thought to be true.....Ps 130:3 says - If errors were what you watch, O Jah,O Jehovah, who could stand?





But, if the information was known to be false right from the beginning,and is used to mislead and/or is never corrected but is continued to be used as a teaching,...than it would always be a false teaching and will be dealt with in the end. God does know the difference. - 2 Timothy 4:3, 4; 2Ti 3:6-8; Eph 4:13,14





It is similar to the teaching of ';once saved alway saved'; this false teaching is being taught as truth even though the bible does not endorse it. The scriptures repeatedly say that we have to be faithful until the end and that our salvation is not guaranteed just because we have faith in Jesus. We are told to combine our faith with works to prove to God what is really in our hearts. The religious group who believe these false teachings and the ones that teach it as truth will find themselves against God's wrath.








Matt 10:22-- And YOU will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved





Jude 5, RS: “I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.” (Italics added.)





Matt. 24:13, RS: “He who endures to the end will be saved.” (So a person’s final salvation is not determined at the moment that he begins to put faith in Jesus.)





Phil. 2:12, RS: “As you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (This was addressed to “the saints,” or holy ones, at Philippi, as stated in Philippians 1:1. Paul urged them not to be overly confident but to realize that their final salvation was not yet assured.)





Heb. 10:26, 27, RS: “If we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.” (Thus the Bible does not go along with the idea that no matter what sins a person may commit after he is “saved” he will not lose his salvation. It encourages faithfulness. See also Hebrews 6:4-6, where it is shown that even a person anointed with holy spirit can lose his hope of salvation.)





Eph. 2:8, 9, RS: “By grace [“undeserved kindness,” NW] you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God—not because of works, lest any man should boast.” (The entire provision for salvation is an expression of God’s undeserved kindness. There is no way that a descendant of Adam can gain salvation on his own, no matter how noble his works are. Salvation is a gift from God given to those who put faith in the sin-atoning value of the sacrifice of his Son.)





Heb. 5:9, RS: “He [Jesus] became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him.” (Italics added.) (Does this conflict with the statement that Christians are “saved through faith”? Not at all. Obedience simply demonstrates that their faith is genuine.)





Jas. 2:14, 26, RS: “What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.” (A person does not earn salvation by his works. But anyone who has genuine faith will have works to go with it—works of obedience to the commands of God and Christ, works that demonstrate his faith and love. Without such works, his faith is dead.)





Acts 16:30, 31, RS: “‘Men, what must I do to be saved?’ And they [Paul and Silas] said, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.’” (If that man and his household truly believed, would they not act in harmony with their belief? Certainly.)
How is it possible that The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society can claim ';new light'; and claim to not make mistakes?





Lies. Very simple. These are lies.





And the followers called the Jehovah's Witnesses need to practice Cognitive Dissonance.
Propaganda is what the wbts does best. They lie and cajole and twist scriptures to bleed their adherents of any self worth, then when their prophesies fall apart they blame the members for jumping ahead. This is one of Satan's more fun cults, fun for him.
Of course they are going to say they are always right...





But did they include any verifiable references?
No that is not true. from 1880 to about 1920 they were some false teaching. like the belief in Hell and Celebrating Christmas. but those this were removed later.
You are joking of course?
I second QIA's answer and would like to add that they bleed the members of as much money as possible as well!
Where is 1914!
