Does the Watchtower Society Replace Jehovah?
Submitted by Teeny on May 21, 2012 - 5:00 am 19 Comments
One of the many reasons I decided to no longer be a Jehovah’s Witness was because it came to my attention that the Watchtower Society had actually replaced God. From my discussions with a fair amount of ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses, I see that it’s widely accepted that the Organisation does in fact subtly demand to be worshipped like God.
Please ask yourselves the following question: Is the Watchtower Society God’s mouthpiece, or are they God incarnate? I only ask because it’s the Watchtower themselves that make the claim “to question the Organisation is like questioning Jehovah himself!” We must accept everything they tell us because it is as if Jehovah has told us these things himself, right?
Okay, knowing that, please take a second to answer the following multiple choice quiz:
If you ask a Jehovah’s Witness who they worship, how will they answer?
- We worship Jehovah God.
- We worship the Watchtower Society.
How did you get on? I think it’s safe to say that nearly all Jehovah’s Witnesses would claim to worship Jehovah God and NOT the Watchtower Society. This troubles me though. Tell me if I’m wrong, but when you tell a Jehovah’s Witness to their face that the Organisation is plain wrong and then proceed to give examples of how they have flip-flopped doctrine and caused so much harm to families, what’s the common accusation they fire at you?
You’re an Apostate!
I have been called an apostate quite a few times recently. I always try to ask my accuser to stipulate the grounds on why they’ve called me an Apostate. Unfortunately, none of them have had the decency to answer my simple question. If I’m not mistaken, isn’t an Apostate someone who goes against God? Wasn’t Satan classed as the first Apostate because he lied about God? While generally the word Apostate refers to anyone who leaves a religious group, the Jehovah’s Witnesses have redefined it (as they like to do to many words – see, ‘generation’) to label a person as an enemy and opposer of Jehovah.
Therefore, if I tell fellow Jehovah’s Witnesses that the Watchtower Society is a haven for paedophiles, in what way am I lying about God? Would I be right in saying that anyone calling you an Apostate for discussing the terrible facts about the Jehovah’s Witness Organisation is in fact replacing God with the Watchtower Organisation?
I think all Jehovah’s Witnesses would be far more easier to talk to if they openly admitted to worshipping a group of men in North America.

Clearly you have been educated by Jehovah’s Witnesses and not an ACTUAL institution of learning of any kind, considering your lack of grammar skills.
YOU SAID: “talking about his organization is such an evil manor”
CORRECT WAY: “talking about his organization IN such an evil MANNER.”
YOU SAID: “If you want my advice, quite while you think you are ahead”
CORRECT WAY: “If you want my advice, [no one asked for that, by the way] QUIT while you think you are ahead…
YOU SAID: “because just like your farther,”
CORRECT WAY: “because just like your FATHER…”
And that’s just the grammatical errors in your nonsensical comment. The fact that you spent all that time writing an entire paragraph that literally had NO FACTUAL POINTS whatsoever just proves you live very much up to your name: Nonsense.

And have you read the articles, or do you just blindly assume that as it paints your “holy” organization in a bad light, it MUST be apostate. Again, throwing that word around because the watchtower organization tell you to. Nothing said had been degrading to Jehovah. It simply puts FACTS that, if you can PROVE are wrong, will be removed with a public apology. Funny how people just shout abuse instead of submitting PROOF that things said here are wrong. Just because the organization SAYS it is the right one, the true religion, does not make it a FACT. And if you were truely dedicated to GOD and not the watchtower organization, then you’d be open to actually questioning the organization yourself to see fully if it is the right religion. There is nothing wrong in doing that. How can one be truely sure a religion is a TRUE religion if they have to follow every word blindly and not be able to actually use thier minds and freely question things?

Catherine – When you have the power of an extremely supernatural being clouding your judgement, then yes, it is possible for all ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses to be wrong all at the same time. All ex-JWs might not be in communication with each other, but you can bet your life that Satan and his demons are talking to each other each and every second. You may want to rethink your point..
Dizzy – I am on websites like this because my daughter told me about it and I find it interesting having debates with people that used to be Jehovah’s Witnesses and now aren’t. In fact, I find it hillarious that you can be without Jehovah’s organization for so long? When you talk about facts, I can tell you that I have seen the will of God in my life. I have witnessed his unconditional love in my life. So go ahead with your science nonsense. As I said to Catherine, Satan works in amazing ways. I have seen all the evidence, I really have. But I have also attempted suicide and been brought back by Jehovah’s will. So yes, I have a faith, but its backed up by more than blindness. Its backed up by things I have witnessed myself.

So you are linking: “say something against the watchtower, you say something against God”
Second People in cults don’t realise they are in cults. Thats the problem. You think people that joined many cults and sold everything, took thier lives, etc, would have done if they KNEW it was just a cult?
We welcome your “proof” and it will make an interesting read.
And you do realise Dizzy is a name… for example.. dizzy dean, famous american baseball pitcher.

Yes Joel, bla bla, we already know what Jehovah’s Witnesses believe, the poor reasons why, and that none of it makes sense.
