The Current Teaching Of The Watchtower Society:
The Society claims to be God's Prophet for this present age. It has explicitly made the claim of being God's spokesman to the world in numerous articles and books, including the following: The Watchtower, March 15, 1972-p.189; April 1, 1972-p.197, 200; The Nations Shall Know That I Am Jehovah, pp.58 & 70; Holy Spirit, p.148-Remnant, prophesying; p.30-Preaching & prophesying
What the Bible Says about FALSE PROPHETS
1. Deuteronomy 18:20-22 and Matthew 7:15-20 Provide God's Testing Procedure For A True Prophet:
A true prophet would speak in Jehovah's name and the things foretold would come to pass.
A careful examination of various Society publications reveals that they have made statements and predictions over the years that have not been true or have not come to pass [see EXPOSE: of Jehovah's Witnesses, by Erich & Jean Grieshaber for a list of these statements and predictions].
We find the Society is not able to pass the test of a true Prophet of God. False Prophets are condemned in the Scriptures and we are told to flee from them...
| Condemned to die | 1Ki 13 |
| Punishment of prophet and seekers the same | Eze 14:10 |
| Cast into the Lake of Fire | Rev 19:20; 20:20 |
| Punish the man and his house | Jer 23:16, 26 |
| Prophets treacherous | Zep 3:1-4 |
| Shall say I am no prophet | Zec 13:1-7 |
