Exposed: “Jehovah’s Witnesses” (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society Exposed) (What JWs Don't Want You to Know)





Exposed: “Jehovah’s Witnesses” (Watchtower Society)

The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (or “Jehovah’s Witnesses”, or JWs) was started by Charles Taze Russell during the 19th century. Spreading across more than 230 countries, the JW religion now has over 7 million members (1). JWs go door-knocking in many cities of America, inviting people to attend a Bible study or JW meeting.  This article will expose truth that the “Jehovah’s Witnesses” don’t want you to know about their religion.

1. False Prophecies of the “Jehovah’s Witnesses”


The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society was started by Charles Taze Russell and has its roots in the International Bible Students' Association, which Russell founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1872 (1). 
Charles T. Russell thought of himself as some kind of prophet and he predicted that Jesus Christ would visibly appear in 1914. This was not the only false prediction he and other “Jehovah’s Witnesses” (JWs) made.

The JW founder wrote in the 1908 edition of his book The Time is At Hand:

Charles Taze Russell
"True, it is expecting great things to claim, as we do, that within the coming twenty-six years all present governments will be overthrown and dissolved" (The Time Is At Hand; 1889; 1908 ed.; p. 99)

The JWs continued making prophecies after Charles T. Russell’s death. This prophecy comes from the 1917 edition of The Finished Mystery:

"And the mountains were not found. Even the republics will disappear in the fall of 1920. And the mountains were not found. Every kingdom of earth will pass away, be swallowed up in anarchy." (The Finished Mystery, 1917 edition, p. 258)

In 1918, the Watchtower Society predicted that in 1925…

"Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the condition of human perfection." (Millions Now Living Will Never Die, p. 89)

There are more false prophecies that the Watchtower Society has made over the years. None of them have ever come to pass. Deuteronomy 18 talks about this very thing.

Deuteronomy 18:20-22

20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?

22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Jesus Christ also speaks about this topic.

Matthew 7:13-20 (Bold added)

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Mormonism Exposed (The Church of The Latter Day Saints Exposed) (LDS)



The Mormon (LDS) Religion Exposed

The Mormons--or the LDS Church (“Latter Day Saints”)--form a widespread and influential group that has members in the federal government, in finance, and in politics. Many are familiar with the young men who go door-knocking, wearing badges stating that they are elders. We will look at just a few of the things these Mormon missionaries don’t want you to know about their religion and founders.

1. The Mormon ‘God’ “Was Once a Man” (False Doctrine)



Mormons (or members of the “Church of Latter Day Saints”) are taught the heresy that God once was a man. This is what the Mormon “prophet” Brigham Young said about God:

"The idea that the Lord our God is not a personage [person] of tabernacle [human body] is entirely a mistaken notion. He was once a man. […] If he had a Father, he was made in his likeness. And if he is our Father we are made after his image and likeness. He once possessed a body, as we now do; and our bodies are as much to us, as his body to him. Every iota of this organization is necessary to secure for us an exaltation with the Gods."
- Prophet Brigham Young, True Character of God, Salt Lake Tabernacle, February 23, 1862, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 9, p.286 (bold added)

Please pay attention to the last part: “…an exaltation with the Gods.” The Mormons believe that men can become God. We will look at that heresy later.
First, the Bible does clearly reveal that God the Creator of everything had no beginning and no end, and no one existed before Him or after Him, who is God. He alone is God.

Isaiah 45:5-6 (bold/underline added)

5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

Isaiah 43:10-12

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.

Isaiah 44:8

Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

The Mormon doctrine that God was once a man
and that He had a beginning contradicts the Bible, God’s Holy Word. In Isaiah 43:10, God said, “Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.” God had no father and He had no mother. He had no beginning and He has no end. There is only one God.

1 Timothy 1:17 says, “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

In Isaiah 44:6 God said: “Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.”

This is very clear. God said, “I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.” There is only one God, the Trinity, which means there are three in one being. This is not a contradiction. 

1 John 5:7 says, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”

Jesus Christ is the Word (see John 1:1). He is the Only Begotten Son of the Father. This is important to know. Jesus Christ is the God the Father’s Only Begotten Son.

John 1:14-15

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.


2. The Mormon ‘God’ Has Many Wives (False Doctrine)


The Mormons teach the false doctrine that God has many sons and daughters from his many wives. Yes, they believe that God has wives and that He is having spirit-children by them. They even believe that God the Father was Adam and that Eve was one of his many wives. That is what the Mormon prophet Brigham Young taught and it is part of their doctrine, but Mormon witnesses will never tell you this. For at least half a century, the Mormons believed Adam was God (1).

"Now hear it, O inhabitants of the earth, Jew and Gentile, Saint and sinner!  When our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him.  He helped to make and organize this world.  He is Michael, the Archangel, the Ancient of Days! about whom holy men have written and spoken--He is our Father, and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do."  (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 1:50) (bold / underline added)


3. The Serpent’s Great Lie and Mormonism


The scripture clearly teaches that God is not a man and never was and that He never had any spirit children or wives. This false doctrine taught by the Mormons is directly against the Bible and it is part of Satan’s great lie found in Genesis 3.

Remember Brigham young said, “Every iota of this organization [i.e. "God" once was man] is necessary to secure for us an exaltation with the Gods.”?
