How do Jehovah's Witness answer the claim that they could not have been chosen in 1918 due to false doctrine?

Similar questions have been asked recently but I think they were not asked pointedly enough, so here is a different version that requires a different answer. I hope that I can get a feel for the most typical answer to this problem.How do Jehovah's Witness answer the claim that they could not have been chosen in 1918 due to false doctrine?
Your question doesn't make any sense. What do you want to know?





No, what I was unfamiliar with was the sloppy, uninformative way in which you asked your initial question. Looks like you're just another ignorant troll looking to try and slam the religion.

15 Jesus expected anointed Christians collectively to be acting as a faithful steward, giving his body of attendants “their measure of food supplies at the proper time.” (Luke 12:42) According to Luke 12:43, Christ said: “Happy is that slave, if his master on arriving finds him doing so!” This indicates that for some time before Christ arrived to settle accounts with his spirit-anointed slaves, they would have been dispensing spiritual food to members of the Christian congregation, God’s household. Whom did Christ find doing so when he returned with kingly power in 1914 and proceeded to inspect the house of God in 1918?—Malachi 3:1-4; Luke 19:12; 1 Peter 4:17.





16 As the long period of Jesus’ waiting at Jehovah’s right hand drew to a close, it gradually became apparent who was giving spiritual food supplies to Christ’s domestics even in the time prior to 1914. Do you think it was Christendom’s churches? Certainly not, for they were deeply involved in politics. They had been willing tools of colonial expansion and had tried to outdo one another to prove their patriotism, thus encouraging nationalism. This soon brought heavy bloodguilt upon them, that is, when they gave their active support to political governments involved in the first world war. Spiritually, their faith had been weakened by Modernism. A spiritual crisis was brought about because many of their clergy became easy prey to higher criticism and evolution. No spiritual nourishment could be expected from Christendom’s clergy!





17 Similarly, no nourishing spiritual food was forthcoming from those anointed Christians who were more concerned with their personal salvation than with putting the Master’s talent to work. They turned out to be “sluggish,” unfit to take care of the Master’s belongings. Hence, they were thrown “into the darkness outside,” where the churches of Christendom still are.—Matthew 25:24-30.





18 On arriving to inspect his slaves in 1918, therefore, whom did the Master, Jesus Christ, find giving to his body of attendants their measure of food supplies at the proper time? Well, by then, who had given sincere truth-seekers the correct understanding of the ransom sacrifice, the divine name, the invisibility of Christ’s presence, and the significance of 1914? Who had exposed the falsehood of the Trinity, immortality of the human soul, and hellfire? And who had warned of the dangers of evolution and spiritism? The facts show that it was the group of anointed Christians associated with the publishers of the magazine Zion’s Watch Tower and Herald of Christ’s Presence, now called The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom.How do Jehovah's Witness answer the claim that they could not have been chosen in 1918 due to false doctrine?
I love the story of the emperors new clothes!!





You among you is going to the first to stand up and say, Hey we may have made a mistake. We got zealously carried away and may have missed that diversity of thought and belief is essential. Creation shouts this at us when we look at the shades of colour, shape and size of a simple flower. Why dont they all just look and smell the same?
They do what ever WT Society asks them to do, even lie. They have doctorate in lies





I am glad this question comes from so many angles that it is clear that if Jesus was examining them and appointed them as only true God's organization, why to change the teachings???? They are clearly teaching different messages now
Faith.





The same thing that causes Christians to believe in hell and terrorists to blow up buildings.





Faith is proven consistently harmful, irregardless of the flavor of belief that requires it.
It is not that you did not ask the question properly. It is that the answer reveals them to be a false prophet.

They blindly follow !





EDIT: And their flesh takes offense that you question gods organization on earth !






Does that relate to the 144,000 that will be chosen by God that I dont buy that you believe in?
