The religion known as “Jehovah's Witnesses” (JW's) began in 1884 and was
first known as “Russellism.” It's founder was Charles Taze Russell who sold
his men's furnishings store to devote himself to the study Scripture. He had
no knowledge of the original languages of the Bible (Hebrew — Old Testament;
Greek — New Testament) and no higher education. The leaders of this
organization are known as the “Watchtower Bible And Tract Society” which is
headed by a president who rules for life. To date, they have had four
presidents, each leaving his unique mark on this religion.
Russell was a high level 33rd degree occult Freemason. Due to the cult's secretive nature, deception and denial are inherent to Freemasonry. All Freemasons are require to swear an oath of silence, promising not to reveal the ancient mysteries, inner workings and secrets of the lodge. Masonry is of the Devil. Superficially Masons do much good in society and operate Shriners hospitals for children; but that's all a front for a satanic organization. Freemasonry, like Mormonism, is an organization within an organization. Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon sex-cult in 1830, was also a high level 33rd degree Freemason.
Most people fail to realize that Freemasonry is a subversive organization, whose secret goal is to INFILTRATE, CORRUPT and OVERTAKE other organizations to achieve World Government. Freemasonry is Satan's official organization to achieve the New World Order. Masons are often called the “Architects” of the New World Order. Hence, their organization's official symbol is a carpenter's square and compass (building tools). Few people grasp this truth. To understand the subversive nature of the psuedo-Christian cults, like Mormonism and the Jehovah's Witnesses, it's important to understand the nature, purpose and workings of Freemasonry, which is why I have taken some time to explain these truths. RELIGIONS: THE OCCULT CONNECTION | PART II | TRACT
The New Testament Church as we know it today, which is blueprinted in the Book of Acts, DIDN'T start on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2 as some ministers and theologians teach. There is no evidence in the Bible to support the theory that the New Testament Church began on Pentecost. We read about the “church in the Wilderness” in Acts 7:38. The word “church” here is the Greek word ekklesia, meaning “a calling out, that is, a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation.”
The “Body Of Christ” is not the same as the “Church.” The Body Of Christ is composed of every born-again saint from all walks of life, every tongue, every nation, whether dead or alive; whereas a “church” forms each time there is a gathering of saints in the Lord's name. The local New Testament Church as we know it today was organized during the earthly life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, under the shepherding of the Apostles. The Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT a church because they are not a gathering of genuine Christians. They are a religious cult of unbelievers. Mormonism is a satanic religious cult, based upon sex-perversion and manmade commandments.
Russell believed himself to be the new divine interpreter of the Bible and felt that it could not be properly understood without his interpretation. He wrote a 7-volume “Studies In The Scriptures” and said that if someone stopped reading his works and went back to reading the Bible alone, they would “within two years revert back into darkness.” In other words, for 18 centuries people could not possibly understand the four Gospels, the letters of Paul, et cetera, not having Russell's interpretation. Therefore, as Jesus promised to BUILD HIS CHURCH, as He did not do so until the 1880's when Russell was given the divine interpretation.
Therefore, salvation belongs only to the Jehovah's Witnesses, as Russell would say. Not having his interpretation, and the Bible leading people only to darkness, we would have to conclude that everyone that lived from the time of Jesus until the 1880's was condemned; the light of the truth having been hid from them. And as JW's believe that they and they alone have the truth, they do not permit their members to step foot into any other church... and act of isolation from what other might be teaching. The Watchtower Society now claims the same authority as Russell... all else is heresy, all other churches are heretic. Any criticism of JW is therefore satanic.
The Watchtower, March 1, 1979 stated: “All the saints now living or that ever lived during this age belong to our church organization... and there is no other recognized by our Lord.” Again, without Russell's “interpretation,” there could not have been any saints up to 1884 and therefore God would have had to abandon to Hell all who lived from 33 AD to 1884, and that would include the writer of most of the New Testament, the Apostle Paul. The Watchtower, March 1, 1983, page 12 stated, as a requirement for salvation... “that we be associated with God's channel, His organization... to receive everlasting life in the earthly paradise we must identify that organization and serve God as part of it.”
My friend, run as fast as you can from the Jehovah's Witnesses demonic cult. They will lead you away from THE TRUTH. The Bible warns lest as Eve was deceived by the serpent, so also may we be led astray by ANOTHER Gospel, ANOTHER Jesus or ANOTHER Spirit. 2nd Corinthians 11:3-4, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”
Christianity's foundation according to 1st Corinthians 3:11 is JESUS CHRIST. All modern false so-called Christian cults are based upon the opinions and writings of a man or woman. JW's follow Charles Russell. Seventh-day Adventists follow Ellen G. White. Christian Science follows Mary Baker Eddy. Mormons follow Joseph Smith. Charismatics follow Oral Roberts. Scientologists follow Ron Hubbard. Catholics follow the Vatican. Lutherans follow Martin Luther. And there are many others. As Christian believers we follow the Word of God. Jesus said in John 5:39 to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!!!
