What Jehovah's Witness New Converts Have Not Been Told By Their Own Organization:

http://www.bible.ca/Jw-Dont-Know.htm

1. When they translated their New World Translation they deliberately altered almost every scripture on the deity of Christ, to make him only a creature.
2. The Society used a translation by a SPIRIT MEDIUM, Johannes Greber, to support their rendering of John 1:1 with full knowledge that his sources were DEMONIC. Greber was exposed in the Feb. 15/56 Watchtower. However in 1961 they released a translation based on his occult one, then denied they knew what they were doing on page 31 of the Apr. 1, 1983 Watchtower!
3. The identities of the translators of the New World Translation are only a secret to Witnesses. Everyone else knows who they were!
4. None of the New World Translation "translating committee" knew much Biblical Greek or Hebrew. No scholars at all. And this is the reason why the identities of the translators are kept from the average Witness.
5. The entire content of the 27 New Testament books were not originally intended to be applicable to the average Jehovah's Witness, rather the 144,00 class only!
6. The Organization once taught that the worship of Jesus was OK.
7. The Organization once taught that Jesus crucified on a cross not a stake. They even had pictures of Jesus hanging on crosses in their publications.
8. The Organization once taught that celebrating Christmas and civil holidays was OK.
9. The Organization once taught that serving in the Military was OK.
10. Judge Rutherford, president of the Society, was an alcoholic.
11. Fred Franz, who for many years headed the Society, perjured himself under oath in Scotland in a court trial, by saying he could read Hebrew, and then failing a simple Hebrew test.
12. That there absolutely no evidence that Matthew was ever written in Hebrew, much less that this "missing Hebrew original" used the word "Jehovah" (YHWH) throughout. (Jw's love to claim that all other Bibles deleted YHWH, whereas their Bible added it without any support from the original text.) In Aid to Bible Understanding page, 887, they actually admit that there is absolutely no tangible evidence that any of the NT writers ever used YHWH in their writings.
13. Jw's own "Aid to Bible Understanding" book admits on pages 884 & 885 that the spelling of "Jehovah" originated with a Catholic monk named Raymundus Martini in the 13th Century.!
14. Watchtower organization prophesied that all churches would be destroyed in 1918
15. Watchtower organization prophesied that world-wide anarchy would come in 1920
16. Armageddon and Christ's second coming were foretold to happen in 1874, 1914, 1925 and 1975 by this "non-prophet" organization.
17. When Christ failed to show up physically in 1914 as predicted, the Society claimed in later years that He had come invisibly--of course, and all Jehovah's Witnesses believe this today.
18. The date 1874 was taught for Christ's invisible presence by the Society right up till 1929. (See their book, "Prophecy", page 65).
19. The 144,000 originally included all the new converts of Watchtower. However when they exceeded 144,000 new coverts, they invented the two class system only at that point.
20. Top executives of the Society have admitted under oath that they forced their members to accept false prophecies or face disfellowshipping and be found worthy of death.
21. Blood transfusions, vaccinations and organ transplants were originally condemned because Jw's view man as wholly physical and based upon the medical science of the 1800's, they feared that tendencies to sin could be transmitted like a disease through a transfusion or organ transplant. Is it only a matter of time until they change their view on blood transfusions too? Give's the expression, "I can't help it...it is in my blood" a whole new meaning!
22. An early Watchtower publication called Zion's Watchtower said that a new view of truth can never contradict a former truth. "New light" never extinguishes older "light" but merely adds to it. (Zion's Watchtower, February 1881, page 3.)
