The Watchtower organization claims to be the Faithful and Discreet Slave spoken of in Matthew 24:45.

• “We all need help to understand the Bible, and we cannot find the Scriptural guidance we need outside the ‘faithful and discreet slave’ organization,” (Watchtower, Feb. 15, 1981.)  (See the quote in context.)
• “All who want to understand the Bible should appreciate that the ‘greatly diversified wisdom of God’ can become known only through Jehovah’s channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave,” (Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1994, p. 8).

This Watchtower organization, the faithful and discreet slave, claims to be the means by which God communicates His truth to us in this world.  Therefore, by deduction, what the Watchtower says is truth.  Alright, let’s take a look at one quote from the Watchtower.

• “From time to time, there have arisen from among the ranks of Jehovah’s people those, who, like the original Satan, have adopted an independent, faultfinding attitude . . . They say that it is sufficient to read the Bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home. But, strangely, through such ‘Bible reading,’ they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by Christendom’s clergy were teaching 100 years ago . . . ” (Watchtower, Aug. 15, 1981, p. 29).  (See the quote in context.)

The Watchtower says that the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and the physical resurrection of Christ are all false doctrines.  Yet, the Watchtower says that if you read the Bible by itself, you will end up believing these doctrines.  In other words, if you read the Bible by itself, then you will become a Trinitarian–believe that Jesus is God and believe that Jesus rose from the dead physically.  Why is that?  Could it be because the Bible teaches these things?  So I ask the Jehovah’s Witnesses, what is it in the Bible that would lead someone to this conclusion?  Again, what is in the Bible that reading it by itself would lead you to believe in the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and His physical resurrection?

This quote from the Watchtower is proof that it is teaching contrary to the natural reading of the Bible and that it is controlling the beliefs of those who follow it.
