CCJW established 21st August 2000.

[Patiently waiting for Truth]

I thought I'd start this as a new topic. 

It seems that the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses was not established until 21st August 2000.

So what was the Jehovah's Witnesses 'organisation' before that date ?  

[Arauna]

We have been known throughout the world as Jehovah's Witnesses since 1935 and have brought glory to Jehovah's name since then - preaching and carrying His name throughout the world.  Our worship is legalized by jehovah.... not men.

It seems that members of the Governing Body resigned from the board of the Watchtower Society in that year 2000. 

The same year that the CCJW was established.

The JW name was used form 1931 but they were still part of the Watchtower Society. 

So it seems the separation only came in the year 2000. 

But the CSA database was set up by the Watchtower Society in 1997.

You’re saying that God and His laws in Christ legalized the organization’s existence and worship, even though just one of the false teachings during that time was based on a book written by Russell – “Universal War Near”.  How soon was that war to take place?

"...the scriptural evidence and the physical facts strongly indicate that such witness work is now almost done; and when it is done the universal war will begin. Universal war is absolutely certain to come and that soon, and no power can stop it. ...during the few remaining months until the breaking of that universal cataclysm the powers that rule the nations of the earth will continue to make treaties and tell the people that by such means they will keep that world peace and bring about prosperity. (Universal War Near, 1935, p. 3, 26-27)

This was the same time period when it was admonished not to marry and have children, and the word of God supposedly backed this teaching.  Now, for someone who hates looking backward at old teachings, how can you say that your worship is legalized by God, when you refuse to look at the false teachings that occurred from the birth of your organization?  And if JWs excuse the vast record of falsehoods, by giving leeway to their leaders for their “mistakes”, who are they ultimately obeying, God and His laws in Christ, or men and their crooked decrees and teachings?

Since when does God’s law permit lying?  Since when is God’s name glorified by a lie? 

The God I worship does not legalize lies.  He does not acknowledge false worship.  I believe JWs should intensely consider who the god they worship, really is.  Rev 13:1,2,11,12

 

This is what the Lord says:

I, the Lord, made everything.
I stretched out the heavens by myself.
I spread out the earth all alone.
I cause the signs of false prophets to fail
and make fools of fortunetellers.
I make wise men retreat
and turn their knowledge into foolishness.  Isa 44:24b,25

Bible scholars and Presidents, in the past and today, almost always uses same terminology about the beginning of Armageddon. :)) Of course, with 140 years of failed prognostics, now they using more "neutral" words as, "last days of last days" :))))

A couple of more points I'd like cleared up if possible. 

There seems to be a Religious Order of Jehovah's Witnesses which is not the CCJW and not the Watchtower Society. ????

And, it seems the CCJW may only be registered in the USA ???

And possibly the International Bible Students Association might be the JW's of the UK ???

Religious Order of Jehovah's Witnesses

Religious Order of Jehovah's Witnesses, New York, incorporated in 2000 for administration of full-time preaching activities.

I learned one detail just now while searching internet. WT Society is Company, Business, Corporation. And as such they uses all possible ways to do business as optimally as possible. Creating new corporations under the management of the Mother Corporation is part of the business.

IRS using this and other terminology and WTJWorg accepts it. In the same manner as GB and Elders speaking about themselves how they are CLERGY :))) In  JW congregations, Christendom is Clergy, and they are Elders, but in the Courts they are Clergy too, because they want "secular government" to see them as CLERGY. And to have same status as Christendom Clergy.
