Jehovah's Witnesses Trust In Jehovah.

The Watchtower Society believes it is the only channel God is using to speak to his people worldwide. Why? Because in one of his parables, Jesus spoke of a mysterious 'faithful and discreet slave' that 'a master' appointed over the servants in his household. Matthew 24:45-51 The Watchtower's leadership believes it is that faithful slave and that only those who are loyal to the slave (i.e. the Watchtower organization), will be saved when the end of this world comes. See Armageddon

The Watchtower says that 'only Jehovah's Witnesses, ... as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil." Watchtower Sept 1, 1989 page 19.

The Watchtower Advises Jehovah's Witnesses to Trust Their Leadership (The Slave), Because Jehovah and Jesus Trust The Watchtower Completely.

The Watchtower says, 'Since Jehovah God and Jesus Christ completely trust the faithful and discreet slave, should we not do the same? After all the slave has shown itself to be faithful in doing it's assigned work. For example, the Watchtower magazine has been published for some 130 years. Meetings, assemblies, and conventions of Jehovah's Witnesses continue to build us up spiritually ... The slave is able to provide wise and timely warnings because Jehovah God and Jesus Christ are blessing it. The slave deserves our complete trust.' (Watchtower Feb. 15, 2009 Page 27)

Does The Bible Say That Jehovah and Jesus Trust The Watchtower Completely?

Christians know from reading their Bible that Jesus did not reveal the identity of the slave or the master. However the Watchtower reminds Jehovah's Witnesses that they are 'in the truth' and the only ones who can interpret the Bible correctly since they have been chosen by Jehovah God to be his organization. They believe they are the faithful slave authorized by Jesus and Jehovah God, - even though there is no scriptural evidence to support this assumption.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that eternal life through Jesus Christ depends on their faithfulness and obedience to the slave. The Watchtower says that "Rebellion against the slave is rebellion against God." Watchtower June 1, 1956 page 346 par 11. The message today is similar. They say that since Jehovah and Jesus trust the leadership of the Watchtower (or the slave) completely, we should do the same. See the Feb 15, 2009 Watchtower.

The Truth About The Slave And The Watchtower.

1. Jesus did not reveal the identity of the faithful and discreet slave, the unfaithful slave, or the master. In fact it is a parable. Matthew 24:45-51 [1]
2. The Watchtower says that mistakes are possible and they have no divine inspiration. [4] [5] (Therefore some of their beliefs could be false.)
3. Read more about the implications of being loyal to an organization that claims to be authorized and endorsed by Jesus as his only messenger, when in fact they have no divine inspiration. [4]

Is It Wise To Trust The Watchtower Completely In The Same Way We Trust God?

Since the Watchtower and the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses doesn't claim divine inspiration [1], we can't be sure they are the slave Jesus spoke about in one of his parables. Also we can't be sure they have interpreted the Bible correctly since God has not inspired their doctrines. Perhaps some or all of their beliefs are false or incorrect. And since the Watchtower says they have no divine inspiration, it is unlikely that they are God's only organization.

Based on the facts, is it wise for Christians to give the uninspired Watchtower organization the same loyalty, reverence, respect, and devotion that belongs only to God? Is it wise to worship God by fearing a man made publishing company that claims to be God's organization and uninspired at the same time? Is it wise to trust the Watchtower completely?

Consider this. Watchtower literature predicted the end of the world and the beginning of Christ's thousand year reign many times since the 1870's. Prophecies were made for armageddon to strike in late 1800's, 1914, 1915, 1925, World War 2, and possibly in 1975. [5]

The Watchtower made those prophecies and they didn't come true. When we look at the historical track record of Watchtower predictions, can we truthfully say that Jehovah and Jesus trust the Watchtower completely?

1. Never in the past has Jehovah used an organization. His representatives have always been individuals.
