A discussion of Revelation 7:9-17 in light of the Watchtower Society's doctrine of two classes of Christians. Here is an account of one of the key issues that erupted during and after the events at Brooklyn Bethel in 1980-1981 when several key figures were banished.
Watchtower references to C.T. Russell and the Bible Students looking forward to the Coming of Christ in 1914, in view of the known history that Russell believed for the rest of his life that it had already occurred in 1874, and this was the general doctrine about the parousia until the 1930's.
A sampling of prophetic "speculations" by leaders of the Watchtower leaders over the years in light of their present-day conclusion about their history.
By some definitions, Jesus and his apostles were a cult among the Jews in their day. There is difference of opinion--even among former members--as to whether Jehovah's Witnesses should be labeled a cult. Perhaps it all depends on your definition.

If you were on the wrong road, would pride or stubbornness prevent you from admitting it?
If you were on the wrong road, would pride or stubbornness prevent you from admitting it?
There cannot be two sets of truth when one does not agree with the other. One or the other is true, but not both. Sincerely believing something, and practicing that belief, will not make it right if it really is wrong. How should you feel if proof is given that what you believe is wrong? For example, say that you were in a car, traveling for the first time to a certain place. You have a road map, but you have not taken time to check it carefully. Someone has told you the road to take. You trust him, sincerely believing that the way he has directed you is correct. But suppose it is not. What if someone points out the error? What if he, by referring to your own map, shows that you are on the wrong road? Would pride or stubbornness prevent you from admitting that you are on the wrong road? Well, then, if you learn from an examination of your Bible that you are traveling a wrong religious road, be willing to change. Avoid the broad road to destruction; get on the narrow road to life!
