The Watchtower Society is a cult, because it claims to be a Christian church while denying whole sections of the orthodox, historic Christian faith. Those who follow it are assured they are following the pattern of life shown in scripture, but they are not. They are following the ramblings of just another 19th century millennialist nutter, who was manifestly wrong during his lifetime, and whose teachings were manifestly wrong on multiple occasions throughout the 20th century. As a Christian theologian there is simply nothing there for me to trust. There’s nothing in the Watchtower’s interpretations of the Bible that I can rely on.
But the saddest thing about The Watchtower Society for me is that it robs those it deceives of a fulfilling relationship with God through Jesus, because it denies who he is. You can never have life in all its fullness, as Jesus promised, as long as you’re trapped in the Watchtower’s lies. Lies, incidentally, which it has an enormous financial motive in sustaining, as you yourself have proved. What it’s all about really is the publication and sale of books and magazines. You have stressed the size of the publishing operation more than once. I know you didn’t intend to suggest the Watchtower is really just a big money-making wheeze, but you do rather give the game away.

Oh I am absolutely attacking the Watchtower, make no mistake. Both boots, studs up.
It’s engaged in deception and I wish people were freed from it. |
No I will let your reply to Russ do just that
We give all literature away for free. Witnesses donate what they want no plate no standing with a look at what I give, all anon. No one has been charged for a book in a long long time
on that note I will go watch some telly
