Ironic comment from the mid-week meeting

In the Gems part, a sister referenced Jeremiah 5:31 that says:

“The prophets prophesy lies, And the priests dominate by their own authority. And my own people love it that way. But what will you do when the end comes?”

Her comment was:

“It is hard to believe, but the people back then had the genuine prophecies from Jehovah right in front of them and chose instead to listen to the false prophets. Maybe what the false prophets said sounded better? Whatever the case, it reminds me to always listen to what Jehovah says through his organization so I don’t get fooled into believing lies.”

What an amazingly self unaware comment. Are not the GB and their predecessors false prophets?

In their own words, from the w72 4/1 p. 197:

“However, Jehovah did not let the people of Christendom, as led by the clergy, go without being warned that the League was a counterfeit substitute for the real kingdom of God. He had a “prophet” to warn them. This “prophet” was not one man, but was a body of men and women. It was the small group of footstep followers of Jesus Christ, known at that time as International Bible Students. Today they are known as Jehovah’s Christian witnesses. They are still proclaiming a warning, and have been joined and assisted in their commissioned work by hundreds of thousands of persons who have listened to their message with belief.

Of course, it is easy to say that this group acts as a “prophet” of God. It is another thing to prove it. The only way that this can be done is to review the record. What does it show?”

What does the record show indeed, how about a string of false prophecies and predictions!

Hypocrites.
