MORE DETAILS OF THEIR LIE FULFILLING
2 THESSALONIANS 2:2,3.

SCRIPTURAL PROOF OF THE LIE WITH INTENT TO DECEIVE.  (2:11,12).
"I beg you, do not suddenly lose your heads or alarm yourselves, whether at some oracular utterance, or pronouncement, or some letter purporting to come from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord is already here. Let no one deceive you in any way whatever."  (From 2 Thess 2:2,3 NEB).

Because apostate covenant-leavers among JWs falsely claim to be God's channel of Spirit communication through an anointing, they are the deceivers! They cause millions of congregation members to "lose their heads" over oracular utterances from their false prophets. The following is quoted from the book 'Visions Of Glory' explaining the reasoning behind one "oracular utterance" of many that JWs falsely claim were made manifest by Holy Spirit through prophets claiming to be Jehovah's Witnesses: 'Had Armageddon come exactly on schedule, it would have arrived in 1972... according to the Witnesses' reckoning. In later years, the Witnesses juggled figures a little and came up with 1975 as the date of the apocalypse: "Six thousand years from man's creation will end in 1975, and the seventh period of a thousand years of human history will begin in the fall of 1975 C.E... It would not be by mere chance or accident... for the reign of Jesus Christ to run parallel with the seventh millennium of man's existence."'  (Pg. 26,27).

In reality, the only notable truth that has emerged is that their dates and activities are in fulfilment of the Lie, (1) the "final rebellion against God". (2:3 NEB). This rebellion was made manifest through their 'shifting of responsibilities' from loyal anointed* sons of God and removing them and the "constant feature" (Holy Spirit) from congregations they* once frequented. (See 1975 JW Yearbook. Pg. 250). For remaining faithful to Almighty God and  His  Word they were disfellowshipped, during which time apostate covenant-leavers put in place the "disgusting thing" of unsealed unqualified 'elders' "standing in a holy place" in congregations where they had "trampled" and usurped the authority of the holy ones.  (Dan 11:30,31.  Matt 24:15.  Rev 11:2).

Another quotation from 'Visions of Glory': 'The Witnesses are now in the process of slithering away from 1975 as they have in the past slithered from other dates. In spite of their modest claim that they do not know "the day and the hour," they have nevertheless led their followers to believe in at least five apocalyptic dates. Faced with the postponement of their hopes, the Witnesses are instructed to believe that the Watchtower Society is "fallible"'  (but still) 'the instrument God uses to make clear His purposes.' (Pg.27). Really? Are they saying that God uses the Watchtower Society to make clear His purposes through their fallibility? (2)  What outrageous blasphemy!  What did the apostle Paul say? "So that is why God lets an operation of error go to them, that they may get to believing the lie".  (2:11).

We must never allow such "oracular utterances" to shake us from true faith. Changing the "times and Law" of God is the ideology adopted by the 'governing body' of JWs to maintain a house of "intense lovers" for themselves.  (Zech 13:4-6.  Dan 7:25). While they are not mindful of what they are planting in the "garden" of God, The Christ says: "Every plant that my Heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted"Why?  Because, "they teach commands of men as doctrines."  (From Matt 15:8-13).

Of the thousands of sectarian religions on earth, only the one calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses has falsely alleged that the "Day of the Lord is already here". This wickedness revealed in "human form" is the prophesied "man of lawlessness" and "final rebellion (apostasy) against God".  (2:1-12 NWT & NEB).
