Why are these troubling verses for the Watchtower Organization?

1Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory.

Luke 24:39
"Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.''

Acts 10:36
The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ He is Lord of all...

1 John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Hebrews 1:8
But to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom".

Acts 20:28
"Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

Suggest all JW's read the corresponding Scripture without the bracketed "[]" words that the Watchtower organization has so conveniently added in order to hide the truth from you.

May God bless you and guide you as you sincerely make a careful investigation of the revealed truth in Scripture, and not the bias mistranslations given by the WT.

Was the Kingdom established on earth in 1914? Is the WT the voice of this Kingdom?

The WT teaches that Christ returned in 1914 (invisibly) so as not to be seen by everyone, in order to establish the Kingdom of God on earth.

What does the Word of God say about this?

IT WILL BE A UNIVERSALLY WITNESSED EVENT

Matthew 24:27-30
"For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be".
"For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together". Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the
powers of the heavens will be shaken. "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then ALL THE TRIBES of the earth will mourn, and they WILL SEE the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Did the following happen in 1914?

Luke 21:27-28
"Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory". "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption DRAWS NEAR.''

Is the Kingdom established yet, or is it JUST NEAR?

Luke 21:31-32
"So you, likewise, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom
of God IS NEAR". "Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means
pass away till ALL things are fulfilled".

What does Scripture say about people that prematurely proclaim Christ has already returned?

Matthew 24:23-34
"Then if anyone says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!' or `There!' do not believe it. "For false Christ and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect". See, I
have told you beforehand. "Therefore if they say to you,`Look, He is in the desert!' do not go out; or `Look, He is in the inner rooms!' do not believe it". "For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so
also will the coming of the Son of Man be". "For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together" Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken".

"Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other". "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and
puts forth leaves, you know that summer is NEAR". "So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is NEAR, at the very doors". Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till ALL these things are fulfilled.

The WT has made the claim that the Kingdom of God returned in 1914, but the Word of God said that when these "signs" happen, the Kingdom of God will be NEAR, not ESTABLISHED. Therefore the WT is making a false claim about the return of Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of God and is therefore a false prophet just like the ones spoken of in the Bible.

1John 5:20

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Who is the one that is true? = It states that the "one that is true" is also the same one that we are in.

Who are we in? = Jesus Christ

Who is this one that is true and which we are in? = True God and eternal life.

1John 5:20

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; = (GOD) and we are in Him who is true = (GOD),
IN His Son Jesus Christ. = (IF WE ARE IN CHRIST, WE ARE IN GOD) This is the true God and eternal life.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true

(The "ONE WHO IS TRUE" is revealed to us as GOD)

and we are in Him who is true

(Who was just revealed to us as being "HIM WHO IS TRUE"? = GOD and we ARE IN HIM (GOD))

in His Son Jesus Christ.

(If we are in God we are therefore in Christ, if in Christ, then we are in God)

This is the true God and eternal life.

(Having this understanding, we now know the true God which has been revealed to us and eternal life.)

Have you ever thought of water?

From the same body of water we can have:

Liquid = Drink it, swim in it but don't try to breathe it
Steam = You can breathe it, but you can't swim in or drink it
Ice = You can't drink it, swim in it or breathe it. But you can build a house with it (igloo).

Tremendously different manifestations of the same exact compound.

Father, Son, Holy Spirit = All the same God revealed to us in three manifestations (personages) Not 3 "gods" but 3 manifestations of the ONE God. Not 3 different bodies of water, but one body of water manifested in 3
ways.

Acts 5:3-4
But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?" While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own
control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.
