REVEALING  HOW  JW  APOSTATES  TURN  AWAY
FROM THE HOLY COMMANDMENT.  (2 Peter 2:21).

The Lord warned that "among the people" there would be "false teachers". But from where would these false teachers come? "From among you yourselves" said the apostle Paul. (2 Peter 2:1.  Acts 20:30). Paul also said: "So that is why God lets an operation of error go to them, that they may get to believing the lie, in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness."  (2 Thess 2:11,12).  The following are just some examples of the unrighteousness apostates take pleasure in.

HOW JWs HAVE TURNED AWAY FROM A HOLY COMMANDMENT (1):
Apostates allow women to teach and exercise authority over men. "Let the women keep silent in the congregations, for it is not permitted for them to speak". "Let him acknowledge the things I am writing to you, because they are the Lord's commandment."  (From 1 Cor 14:34-37). "I do not permit a woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man". (From 1 Tim 2:12). Why has our Lord established this commandment over women? Without this restraint, women can easily be deceived by evil spirits and indulge in their "deceptive teachings". (1 Tim 2:14.  2 Peter 2:13). JWs allow women to teach within and outside their congregations, exercising authority over men. "However, the inspired utterance says definitely that in later periods of time some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired utterances and teachings of demons".  (1 Tim 4:1).  They do.

HOW JWs HAVE TURNED AWAY FROM A HOLY COMMANDMENT (2):
After obtaining a certificate of divorce, JWs allow men and women in their congregations to remarry while their spouse is still alive     whether the spouse has committed adultery or not.  By this means they make each divorcée a "subject for adultery". (Matt 5:32). Only on the grounds of fornication (adultery) can one under a vow to God obtain a divorce. The Holy commandment states: "A wife is bound during all the time her husband is alive. But if her husband should fall asleep in death, she is free to be married to whom she wants, only in the Lord". (1 Cor 7:39).  This means that when one under a vow obtains a certificate of divorce, one still cannot remarry if one's former spouse is still alive. JWs have turned away from this Holy commandment.

HOW JWs HAVE TURNED AWAY FROM A HOLY COMMANDMENT (3):
JWs continually boast in how they keep their congregations clean of sinful influences. But they turn away from the Holy commandment regarding the procedural way for keeping a congregation spiritually clean as stated through Matthew. (Matt 18:15-17).  JWs merely send an appointment letter for one to attend a hearing with unsealed 'elders'  (without the seal of God to do so), prejudge the issues according to their own apostate standing, and are known to disfellowship persons without actually establishing their guilt. When these apostate measures are committed against an innocent anointed son of God, then those responsible are guilty of sinning against the Holy  Spirit  of  God     "for  him  there is no forgiveness, either in this age or in the age to come."  (Matt 12:32 NEB).

HOW JWs HAVE TURNED AWAY FROM A HOLY COMMANDMENT (4):
In contravention of the Word of God, adult male members stand among JWs and pray audibly on behalf of the whole congregation to be viewed by them as holy.  (Matt 6:5,6).
