The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society Renounces Their Christian Faith!

According to a recent book release from the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society a Christian can renounce his faith by certain actions. Here is the quote from the new book.

" Concerning those who renounced their Christian faith in his day, the apostle John wrote,"They went out from among us, but they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us." 1John 2:19. For example, a person might renounce his place in the Christian congregation by his actions, such as by becoming part of a secular organization that has objectives contrary to the Bible and, hence, is under judgement by Jehovah God. If a person who is a Christian chooses to join those who are disapproved by God, a brief announcement is made to the congregation stating"{Name of person} is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses." Such a person is treated in the same way as a disfellowshipped person. The Presiding Overseer should approve this announcement."

It would seem by their own words that the Society has renounced their faith and should not longer be considered one of Jehovah's Witnesses. They did this by joining the United Nations as an NGO (non governmental organization) in association with the DPI. This relationship is clearly spelled out in the United Nations NGO brochure as I have shown on this blog. It is a political relationship and its objectives are clearly different then the Bibles and is not in harmony with what Jehovah's Witnesses believe. The United Nations objectives is to create a peaceful world through man's efforts. Jehovah's Witnesses teach that Christ Jesus kingdom is no part of this world and that his kingdom would be the only means peace would be accomplished on earth.

The Watchtower Society has taught for years that God's kingdom is the only way that peace would come to earth but now they have apostatized from that commitment by joining the United Nations in association with the DPI as an NGO. They have committed themselves to that cause and have used their resources to publish United Nations propaganda in The Watchtower and Awake magazines which are dedicated to the cause of announcing God's kingdom only through Christ! Now instead of announcing God's kingdom they are renouncing it by agreeing to the terms of their association with the DPI.

This is typical  behavior for the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses the Watchtower leadership . Preach and teach one thing and do another. They expect complete devotion from their members and when members do not comply they are disciplined by shunning and ridicule, made to feel guilty and live in the fear of God. The leadership themselves take no responsibility for their actions of  hypocrisy and apostasy. Humility is not in their character for they are the chosen of God and thus had no need of honesty, integrity and pure spirituality.
