THE LIES OF THE SERPENT

Compiled by Rev. Nelson Parkenson, Jr.

False Witnessing of "Jehovah's Witnesses"

The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, better known throughout the world as
Jehovah's Witnesses, today presents a chalienge to the Christian Church, which
informed Christians ignore at the peril of millions of souls.

DID YOU KNOW

One of the most totalitarian systems of this century is sweeping the world,
systematically brain washing millions of young people and turning them into a
vast anti-Christian organization.

It is our prayer that a careful and prayerful reading of this warning will
enable all to see that "Jehovah's Witnesses" are "just another cult" but
something which our Lord's people MUST consider as anti-Christian.

"A faithful witness will not lie: But a false witness will utter lies"
Proverbs 14:5.

"A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies."
Proverbs 14:25.

All scripture is given "by inspiration of God, and is profitable for DOCTRINE
for REPROOF, for CORRECTION and for INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS."

DID YOU KNOW

That a tremendous world-wide religious organization is being built up and that
this organization NOW has ov@r 1,000,000 members and more are being added
daily? "But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the
god of this world (Satan) hath blinded, the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God,
should shine unto them." II Corinthians 4:3-4.

DID YOU KNOW

That Jehovah's Witnesnes call themselves "preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom"
but that they make no effort to convict people of sin nor to bring them to
repentance nor to lead them to Christ as sinners to the Throne of Grace?

DID YOU KNOW

That this organization is under the absolute control of the Watch Tower Bible
Tract Society of Brooklyn, New York?

DID YOU KNOW

Ihat this international organization considers itself superior to all
governments, calling itself the New World Socieiy and publishing its own Bible
which it calls the New World Translation?

DID YOU KNOW

That the members of this New World Society are now walking the streets of YOUR
town and knocking on the doors of your neighbors and calling themselves by the
name of "Johovah's Witnesses."

DID YOU KNOW

That the Jehovah's Wihesses have repeatedly changsd their name, having called
themselves "Millennial Dawn", "Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society", "People's
Pulpit Association", "Bible Student's Association" and "The Brooklyn
Tabernacle." Then in July, 1931 , J.F. Rutherford "revealed" that the promise
which GOD gave the Jews in Isaiah 62:2 "thou shallt be called by a new name,
which the mouth of the Lord shall name" referred to themselves, and the name
which he said God gave them is in Isaiah 43:10 "Ye are my witnesses, saith the
Lord" and that the Jehovah's Witnesses are now being conditioned to accept
another new name -" The New World Society?

DID YOU KNOW

That 500,000 Witnesses are energetically buying, peddling and selling a book
called "Jehovah's Witnesses - The New World Society" in every community in
America and thnt this book is a clever, one-sided salestalk for these
antichristian theologians who now call themselves by the name of Jehovah's
Witnesses?

DID YOU KNOW

That those "Witnesses" which call at your door are called "publishers" and
that they have all been through a brain-washing indoctrination program which
has implanited in their minds the one idea and that is to gain "converts" for
their Organization, to make the Organization strong and powerful and to gain
prestige for the Organization? The strength of this world-wide Organization
thereby gives them a feeling of importance. They claim humility but they think
the truth has been revealed especially to them and they have no sympathy,
patience, nor tolerance for church-going Christians?

DID YOU KNOW

That their motive for going out into all the world is NOT to baptize men into
the Body of Jesus Christ but to initiate them into the "Theocracy" - the NEW
WORLD SOCIETY? It is NOT to teach them to do all things whatsoever Jesus
Christ commanded His Disciples to do but to force them, as slaves, to perform
Watch Tower service, to buy and sell books, to make more "converts" who will
buy and sell more books to make more "converts" who will buy and sell more
books?

DID YOU KNOW

That these Watch Tower slaves are now beimg multiplied by the tens of
thousands throughout all the world, definitely building a WORLD RELIGION with
their twisted, deceiving NEW WORLD BIBLE as their "sword" and all operating
under one head?

DID YOU KNOW

That every brain-washed "Witness" who comes to your door and the doors of your
own relatives and friends, came to that state of mind through innocently
entering a "seven-step program; (1) Purchase of a book or magazine (2)
Accepting a "back call" (3) Allowing a Book Study in their home (4) Attending
an area study (5) Attending a Watch Tower Study (6) Attending a "publishing"
or a service meeting (7) Watch Tower Baptism! Now they are fullpledged slaves
of the Watch Tower, thinking only what the Watch Tower wants them to think,
going where the Watch Tower wants them to go, willing to be rotten-egged if
that will bring publicity to the Organization. They are now willing to go to
jail for draft-dodging in order to advertise to the world that they are for
"peace," refusing to ever salute the flag of their nation, refusing to allow
their children to participate in patriotic excrcises, and willing to stand
long hours on hot street corners or trudge from door to door. To lead men and
women to God? No! Bult to build an all-powerful international reiigious
Organization which they call the "Theocracy" but which is actually anti-
Christian?

WHY IS ALL THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU NOW?

"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? HE IS ANTICHRIST,
that denieth the Father and the Son." I John 2:22

DID YOU KNOW

That unless they repent, there is no salvation for those who continue to deny
the physical resurrection of the body of Jesus Christ? Jehovah's Witnesses
deny the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ.

If Thou salt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS (confess that He is what He
represents Himself to be - the Savior of your soul) and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans
10:9

Consequently all who deny the physical Resurrection of Jesus Christ are lost!

The following is a numher of quotations taken from the Jehovah's Witnesses
book studies. Included is the scripture showing these teachings to be in
error.

ERROR

l. Christ was created. (CREATION p. 17)

2. The doctrine of a burning hell where the wicked are tortured eternally
   after death cannot be true . . . (Op. cit., p. 80).

3. Christ never was, and never will be, God. (CREATION, P. 58)

4. There is no authority in the word of God for the doctrine of the Trinity
   of the Godhead. (STUDIES, P. 169) There is no Trinity, Jehovah-God is
   everything. (RECONCILATION p. 136) This doctrine is "of the devil" (LET
   GOD BE TRUE, p. 82)

TRUTH

1. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. The same was in the beginning with God. All Things were made by Him. John
1:1, 2, 3a.

2. And in hell he lifted up his eyes being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar
off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Luke 16:23

3. "Behold a Virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they
shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US."
Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:32, 33; John 1:14; I John 5:20; John 5:23.

4. Jesus came up out of the water, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him and at
the same moment the Father's voice came from Heaven saying "This is my beloved
SON, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:17b. We are commanded by Jesus to
baptize in the name of the "Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost."
Matthew 28:19b.
