“What bizarre beliefs??? You have yet to name 1!!!!
Right you are! I named more than 15.
:-)
All of which you ignored or missed. Here they are again
for your edification.
THAT Jesus Christ (who is Michael the Archangel in their doctrine ) (WT 2/1/91 p.17) is mediator for only a small, elite, group within their ranks called the anointed remnant. Others must come to this group who control the organization and earn their salvation by absolute obedience to it. (WT 04/01/79).
THAT all religions except theirs are of Satan, and your Pastor or Priest is under the Devils control. (Truth..E. Life p. 132-137)
THAT the Watchtower Society is the only source of truth on earth today, and all churches teach error and will be destroyed at Armageddon. (WT 04/01/88 p.24; Truth.. p.120,121).
THAT the cross is a pagan symbol of sex worship, and that all buildings or persons displaying the cross are likewise pagan. Jehovahs Witnesses deny that Jesus died on the cross. However, the Watchtower Magazine now admits they are not certain about the cross, but will continue to deny it anyway. (WT 8/15/87 p.29 Aid.. p.1608,9).
THAT no one goes to heaven but 144,000 Jehovahs Witnesses, and your soul will be destroyed if you refuse to join their organization. (WT 12/15/68 p.765-766; Truth...p.75-80).
THAT the Christ child was only an IT, not a HE. See the New World Translation, Luke 2:16,17. *
THAT Jesus was not the Christ (or Messiah) until age 30, even though their own bible says in Luke 2:11, because there was born to you today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. (Things in Which it is Impossible for God to Lie p. 211)
THAT after Jesus was buried in the tomb, Jehovah dissolved his body into gasses and it disappeared forever. (WT 09/01/53 p. 518; Time...Hand p. 129).
THAT Jesus rose invisibly in three days, so Jehovah had to materialize a fake body for him complete with fake nail prints so His disciples would believe it was really Jesus risen. (Make Sure..(52 ed.) p. 314)
THAT Armageddon and Christs second coming were foretold to happen in 1874, 1914, 1925 and 1975 by this nonprophetorganization. (WT10/1/1890p.1243;1/1892p.1354; Life Everl. (66 ed. p.29)
THAT when Christ failed to show up in 1914 The Society claimed in later years that He had come invisibly of course, and all Jehovahs Witnesses believe this today. (Light (30 ed). p. 194; Paradise on Earth..p.148)
THAT Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob etc. were to be back on earth as perfect humans in 1925. The Society built a palatial home for them BUT when the patriarchs failed to show up, the President of the Society moved in. (Millions..(20 ed) p. 89-90; WT 03/15/37 p. 86).
THAT their light gets brighter and brighter, allowing for the many changes and about faces on their doctrines. Yesterdays error is todays truth. Often the light bounces back and forth from old to new views and back again! Does real light return to darkness? (1 example Sodom: WT 06/01/52 p. 336; 08/01/65 p. 479; Rev..Climax..(88 ed) p. 273).
THAT the Watchtower Society and its followers are all prophets of God today and the Governing Body is directed by angels from God. (WT 01/15/59 p. 40-41; WT 4/1/72 p.200.
THAT salvation for Society members consists of doing the good works of placing Watchtower books and magazines and winning converts. (WT 08/15/72; Make Sure (65 ed) p. 438-9).
THAT soon Jehovah God will become a GRANDFATHER and Jesus will be promoted to EVERLASTING FATHER! (WT 08/01/95 p. 13).
THAT Jehovah God is not omnipresent, but still Almighty. Think! How can this be?(Light II (30 ed) p. 184). The true God is not omnipresent for he is spoken as of having a location: (Insight into the Scriptures ,Vol 1, pg 969 (1988 edition)
