[PS95]

They are the ones who teach that Jesus' death does not pay for their sins.
Their physical death pays for their own sins-------
They are the only ones who understand the bible!!!

 

[PS95]

They teach that most of the bible is for only them- the special annointed ones---​

This is why rank & file Jws (most of them) can not be born again, Jesus is not their mediator, they are not in the New Covenanat, not spiritual children of God , may not partake of communion etc etc etc

The Watchtower asserts that the Bible predominantly only applies to their 144,000 Anointed leaders. The majority of Jehovah's Witnesses are considered Other Sheep-( an earthly class) and only benefit from the Bible by extension when following the direction of the Anointed leadership, which is regarded a privilege.

Watchtower 2008 January 15 p.22
"The Hebrew Scriptures were written in the first place for the fleshly nation of Israel during the time that they had a special relationship with God. The Christian Greek Scriptures were written primarily for “the Israel of God,” those anointed as brothers of Christ and spiritual sons of God. Of course, that in no way suggests that non-Israelites could not derive great benefit from studying the Hebrew Scriptures. Similarly, Christians who are not anointed with holy spirit derive immeasurable benefits from studying and living according to the counsel found in the Christian Greek Scriptures."

Watchtower 2002 February 1 p. 23
"All of this should impress upon the minds of the other sheep why the Christian Greek Scriptures focus so much attention on Christ and his anointed brothers and their central role in the outworking of Jehovah's purposes. The other sheep therefore consider it a privilege to support in every way possible the anointed slave class while awaiting "the revealing of the sons of God" at Armageddon and during the Millennium."

Watchtower 2000 Aug 15 p.19
"After explaining that Christians have a superior basis for approach to God, the apostle Paul outlines, as we read at Hebrews 10:22-25, three ways in which we can demonstrate our faith and appreciation for God’s loving provision. Even though Paul’s admonition was directed chiefly to those who have “the way of entry into the holy place”—that is, anointed Christians with a heavenly calling—surely all humanity need to pay attention to Paul’s inspired words if they want to benefit from Jesus’ propitiatory sacrifice.—Hebrews 10:19."

Revelation, it's Grand Climax at Hand pp. 317-318
"Yes, these words are primarily "for the congregations." This is a message, first of all, for the congregation of anointed Christians on earth. Everything in Revelation is addressed primarily to anointed Christians, who will inhabit New Jerusalem. Through that congregation, the great crowd is also privileged to gain understanding of these precious prophetic truths."

United in Worship p.111
"Special attention was being given to making up the government that would rule mankind for 1,000 years, and nearly all the inspired letters in the Christian Greek Scriptures are primarily directed to this group of Kingdom heirs - "the holy ones," "partakers of the heavenly calling."

Watchtower 1974 June 15 p.376
"Also, it is to the spirit-anointed Christians who will rule in that kingdom that most of the Christian Greek Scriptures is directed, including the promises of everlasting life."

"Jehovah caused the Bible to be written in such a way that you need his channel to understand it". Watchtower 2/15/1981, p. 17

I think that quote comes from the Book of 2nd Useless Opinions What:4.

Don't we all just remember all those people in the OT that needed the WTS to understand the scriptures?

Don't we all just remember all those NT people that needed the WTS to understand the OT scriptures?

Don't we all remember all those persons from Acts onward that constantly begged God for the WTS to finally show up to teach them the scriptures through the long ages until the modern?

Don't we all remember that the Ethiopian eunuch clambored for Philip to help him locate the WTS?

Don't we all remember that Philip told the Ethiopian eunuch that he was sent from the WTS to explain the scripture to him?

No, I don't think I remember any such thing. Do you?

I, for one- appreciate when they are being honest. It's rare. Both of those quotes exactly what Jws teach.
