“O how you have fallen from heaven, you light bearer.”

(Isaiah 14:12, NWT 1984, Footnote)

Isaiah chapter 14 tells about the fall of the King of Babylon. But it is also addressed to someone else, to “the spirit creature whom the king of Babylon represented, namely, Satan the Devil.” (Then is Finished The Mystery of God, page 333) Verse 12 calls him “shining one,” the Latin Vulgate uses the name “Lucifer.” Accordingly “’Lucifer’ … is generally understood to refer to Satan the Devil.” – The Watchtower, March 15, 1967, page 181.

A question of concern to true Christians is certainly, Who is the Greater Lucifer? This can be derived from the name itself, for “the word ‘Lucifer’ is Latin and means … ‘light bearer.’” (Walk in Truth; Isaiah 14:12, NWT 1984, Footnote) So, without any doubt, the Greater Lucifer are “Jehovah’s Witnesses, the modern light bearers.” (The Watchtower, May 1, 1993, page 12) “Like their father, Satan,” who “keeps disguising himself as an angel of light,” they too have used the “[Watchtower] magazine … as the primary channel for dispensing increased light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14; The Watchtower, April 15, 2009, page 6; April 15, 2010, page 109) “We must avoid this Satanic propaganda, these ‘unclean … expressions inspired by demons.” – 1997 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses, page 255.

“I tell you, in that night two men will be in one bed.”

(Luke 17:34, NWT 1984)

“Homosexuality and … [other immoral practices] were common” in Biblical times. (The Watchtower, July 1,1996, page 3) Hence it went without saying that Jesus mentioned in a parable “two men” being “in one bed” together. After all, “Christ Jesus is the Greater David.” (“All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial”, page 105) David once sang: “My brother Jonathan; you were very dear to me. More wonderful was your love to me than the love of women.” – 2 Samuel 1:26.

The account of Abishag the Shunammite also implies that David had homosexual inclinations. She was “a young virgin” and “very beautiful,” and David’s servants hoped that she would “serve the king and … lie beside him” – but to their disappointment, “the king had no sexual relations with her.” (1 Kings 1:2-4, NIV) No wonder, for long before he had written: “Look! How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together!” (Psalm 133:1) Paul, a zealous worshipper of God, followed David’s example and said: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” – 1 Corinthians 7:1, NIV.

Some may object, does the Bible not say in 1 Corinthians 6:9 that homosexuals would not inherit God’s Kingdom? Yes, this is true. homosexuals will not inherit God’s Kingdom. But heterosexuals won’t, too, since you can only inherit something after the decedent’s death. Hence a person could “inherit God’s Kingdom” only after God’s death, but God “lives forever and ever.” (Revelation 4:10) Thus “do not be misled. Neither … men who lie with men, nor [men who lie with women, nor men who lie with nobody] … will inherit God’s kingdom.” – 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10.

“They will waste their time. They will go from house to house carrying stories. They will find fault with people and say things they should not talk about.”

(1 Timothy 5:13, NLV)

It is obvious which group Paul had in mind when he wrote these warning words. Only Jehovah’s Witnesses “call from house to house, approach people on the street, and speak to them over the phone. Whether riding on a bus, walking in a park, or taking a break at their place of secular work, they eagerly look for every opportunity” to “find fault with people.” – “Bearing Thorough Witness” About God’s Kingdom, page 7.

But this ‘finding fault with people’ or “meddling in other people’s business” [NLT] is not limited to outsiders; rather it is very common within the congregation. If someone is not to be disfellowshipped, the currently valid Watchtower doctrines, “not any other pursuit, must become the focal point, or target, toward which his whole life is directed.” (The Watchtower, June 15, 1982, page 5) Jehovah’s Witnesses even meddle with the private life and, for example, dictate what a married couple is allowed to do and what not. – The Watchtower, September 15, 1977, page 558.

In his letter to Titus, Paul wrote that the same group would be “turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching.” (Titus 1:11, NLT) This surely applies to Jehovah’s Witnesses, too, since “frequently they referred to their … beliefs as ‘present truth.’” (Jehovah’s Witnesses—Proclaimers of God’s Kingdom, page 121) Hence their teachings were always true when they expressed them, but the former teachings are now false, and the current teachings had been false previously.

What should we do if we are Jehovah’s Witnesses? Paul reminds us of former brothers who gave a fine example: “Some of them have already left “ (1 Timothy 5:15, MSG) Leave Jehovah’s Witnesses before it is too late!
