Armstrong set out to debunk much of modern christianity's heresey and false doctrine to lead a church into a first-century based church doctrine that follows to it's best ability every word of the bible.
There have always been lovers of truth
People like "Armstrong" &"Russell", John Wycliffe, William Tyndale

FALSE PROPHECYING (Deuteronomy 18:20-22): While proclaiming to be “God’s Prophet” and speaking “in the name of Jehovah,” the Watchtower announced several false dates for the end of the world and even proclaimed that Christ’s presence had began in 1874. This false proclamation of Christ’s presence is the precise warning that Jesus gave to His followers when He said that “false prophets” would proclaim this in the last days! (See Matthew 24:11, 23-24) Why would Jehovah appoint a group to represent Him that was doing the very thing Jesus warned “false prophets” would do in the last days?

I've encountered Miriam before and she proves my point well.Lol The first thing she did was throw some scripture at me (which doesn't quite match mine by the way) and offered up her own interpretation of what she considers door to door to mean. Then blujay comes along and pats her on the back for it.

the Bible warns us about false prophets. The JW's SEEM to be very good at this.

Here is a list of very long and false prophetic dates.
False dates
IF JW's are prophets of God as the claim to be whats the deal with all the mistakes? If you look at the prophets in the Bible the things they proclaim have come to pass. Aside from end times, but alot of those are now coming to pass.
I believe it’s possible for any believer to be honestly mistaken is his or her interpretation of a passage, but when someone in a pastoral/teaching teaching position wilfully promotes false doctrine that disputes or denies the veracity of Scripture, it proves that they were never saved to begin with (1 John 2:19) and are in fact representing Satan (2 Cor. 11:13-15).
Welcome and thank you for coming over to Faith and Theology.
