Are the Jehovah's Witnesses telling the truth?

*** w73 7/1 p. 402 par. 4 Praise Jehovah with His People ***
How very much true Christians appreciate associating with the only organization on earth that understands the “deep things of God”!
Hmmm, they didn't understand this prediction, did they?
*** w13 7/15 p. 8 par. 17 “Tell Us, When Will These Things Be?” ***
17 In the past, we have stated in our publications that these last four references apply to Jesus’ arriving, or coming, in 1918. As an example, take Jesus’ statement about “the faithful and discreet slave.” (Read Matthew 24:45-47.) We understood that the “arriving” mentioned in verse 46 was linked to the time when Jesus came to inspect the spiritual condition of the anointed in 1918 and that the appointment of the slave over all the Master’s belongings occurred in 1919. (Mal. 3:1) However, a further consideration of Jesus’ prophecy indicates that an adjustment in our understanding of the timing of certain aspects of Jesus’ prophecy is needed. Why so?
None of this was "UNDERSTOOD" for almost 100 years, but they still taught it as "TRUTH"
*** w13 7/15 p. 8 par. 19 “Tell Us, When Will These Things Be?” ***
19 In review, what have we learned? In the beginning of this article, we raised three “when” questions. We first considered that the great tribulation did not begin in 1914 but will start when the United Nations attacks Babylon the Great. Then, we reviewed why Jesus’ judgment of the sheep and the goats did not begin in 1914 but will occur during the great tribulation. Finally, we examined why Jesus’ arrival to appoint the faithful slave over all his belongings did not occur in 1919 but will take place during the great tribulation. So, then, all three “whens” apply to the same future time period—the great tribulation. How does this adjusted view further affect our understanding of the illustration of the faithful slave? Also, how does it affect our understanding of other parables, or illustrations, of Jesus that are being fulfilled during this time of the end? These important questions will be considered in the following articles.
Didn't the JW's receive ridicule from Christendom over these predictions? Who was teaching the truth? Who really "UNDERSTOOD" the deep things of God?
Only JW's sold their property and houses in preparation of the big event that was coming in 1975. Who was really in the "TRUTH", JW's or Christendom?
*** km 5/74 p. 3 How Are You Using Your Life? ***
Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world’s end.

It's the Watchtower, the Governing Body who make the claims.
They preach a false gospel.
If telling the truth about the Jehovah's Witnesses is bashing doesn't that mean they are doing something wrong?

*** w81 2/15 p. 19 Do We Need Help to Understand the Bible? ***
Rather, the record that the “faithful and discreet slave” organization has made for the past more than 100 years forces us to the conclusion that Peter expressed when Jesus asked if his apostles also wanted to leave him, namely, “Whom shall we go away to?” (John 6:66-69) No question about it. We all need help to understand the Bible, and we cannot find the Scriptural guidance we need outside the “faithful and discreet slave” organization.
Shall I post examples of "THE RECORD" of the slave for the past more than 100 years? Shall I post examples of the WT and books written "Studies in the Scriptures" are in Revelations as angels?
Page 231 and 145 from "The Finished Mystery" this is the kind of stuff they were teaching when Jesus supposedly came to inspect the church and choose them.
"We all need help to understand the Bible" is a very true statement. It also includes the GB, they clearly don't understand the Bible! It took "GOD" almost 100 years to clean up some of the mess the GB was teaching.

This video is so funny.It shows how the JW's already now this mans intensions.Very perceptive.He is obviously there to do harm to the JW's reputation with his video.Good job JW's.
You are assuming they were not commanded to not talk to him. The lady who did was not listening I assume. I have been to conventions. They were told he would be out there. I am sure. I might be wrong.This video is so funny.It shows how the JW's already now this mans intensions.Very perceptive.He is obviously there to do harm to the JW's reputation with his video.Good job JW's.
GB: "Don't talk to that man out there".
People in the audience: "We hear and obey".

The only way admitting they imitate Jesus would destroy their reputation if is they do not imitate Jesus. Which the video proves without a doubt, they do not imitate Jesus. The man didn't harm them, they harmed themselves!
I think this isn't 100% correct. I am as sure as I can be that they were told not to talk to him. The ones telling them are appointed by Jesus, they say. Jesus is the appointed leader over them and leads in The Holy Spirit, which means everything Jesus does is the will of The Father. So when they hear something coming from The Watchtower they really believe it is from Jehovah. Jesus always does the will of God (Jehovah to them) so they ARE imitating Jesus by obeying the words from the governing body who they believe speak the truth of God. Jesus obeys the truth of God and they obey the truth of God. They were technically imitating Jesus by ignoring that man (a bad associaiton).
If they did "perceive" that, wouldn't it be better to PROVE him wrong by talking to him in a Loving way like Jesus instead of ignoring him?This video is so funny.It shows how the JW's already now this mans intensions.Very perceptive.He is obviously there to do harm to the JW's reputation with his video.Good job JW's.
They might have tried to witness to him. They knew he wasn't from The News. How did they know?

I have to disagree. They are not imitating Jesus, they are listening to the men that "CLAIM" to be led by the Spirit. These are the men that are afraid that their people will listen to Christendom and so be drawn away from their cult. How were they obeying God by ignoring that man?? The man was at their "IMITATE JESUS" convention asking them if they "IMITATE JESUS". Are you implying that if Jesus was there He would have done the same thing??
1Pe 3:14-16 (ESVST) , 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
They have no hope of anything! None of them know what they will do when Jesus comes back.

If they truly believed they alone had the truth, wouldn't they be transparent to whom ever approached them??
No. I am saying that Jesus always does God's will. Of course, Jesus would have talked to the man. But that is only one person's opinion.
They believe that by listening and obey the governing body they are doing God's will. I should never say that about Jesus. Ask them! (I am on ignore by them and also them). Ask them if Jesus is for obeying them. I suppose he should be!
I think so.

His intensions are quite clear.The JW's knew it.
It is likely the man was trying to put them on the spot. What were his intentions, according to the Jehovah's Witnesses? Imitate Jesus was the theme of the convention.
Conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses | JW.ORG
I think the man's intention was to get them to think.

LOL, so because the man asked them, who are at an "IMITATE JESUS" convention, if they imitate Jesus, his sole purpose is to harm their reputation? It was to prove their reputation. Do you take time to think before you quote and reply to posts? Why do you judge the mans intentions without knowing what they are? If you watched the whole video, you would know that he was proving how the JW's shun people outside their organization. He wasn't hurling scripture at them! He wasn't hurling insults at them! He wasn't telling them how wrong and deceived they are! He asked them a simple and genuine question. Like it was stated by KMG, if they "perceived" he was wanting to harm them, why did they not respond to him to prove him wrong? They proved him right! Would Jesus have treated the man like that? And I say again, "WITHOUT A DOUBT" they do not imitate Jesus!
