RESOLUTION
We, "The True Faith Jehovah's Witnesses", together with the delegations participating on May 2, 1992, in the city of Cluj Napoca, Romania, in the Congress titled "GIRDLE YOURSELF AND TELL THE TRUTH", cognizant of real facts and relying on the Biblical teachings, of the situation of Jehovah's Witnesses throughout the world, declare our position publicly and openly as follows:
1. The True Jehovah's Witnesses have always struggled for truth and justice.
2. The enemies of Jehovah headed by Satan work to compromise the true believers and faithful of Jehovah's Witnesses.
3. In conformity with Biblical prophecies in the period when the judgment of God takes place, the Devil has devised an imitation of the true faithful and is striving today to mislead and deceive the elect (II Thessalonians 2:9-12; Matthew 24:24).
4. The spurious and his lawless working is identified with the actual work of Watchtower Society of Brooklyn, New York, USA, which has fallen prey to a political-religious conspiracy.
5. This stand of ours is based on the fact that this society no longer observes the basic principles of faith, laid down once and for all by the coming of our Lord to the temple and, under the name of ever stronger light, they reverted to religious darkness that displeases Jehovah (II Peter 2:20-22).
6. Being compromised, Watchtower Society has tried to sweeten the cutting message of the truth expressed starting 1922, to be to the liking of Satan's minions, acknowledging them as Authorities appointed by Jehovah (Romans 13:1-7; Tit 3:1; I Peter 2:12-17; I Timothy 2:1, 2 ). Adjusting to religious principles, Watchtower lays stress on developing character, keeping abreast with the modern world and "Moderately" practicing - according to them - everything that the world and the demons offer them.
7. Self-styling themselves "true religion", these false Jehovah's Witnesses hurry to carry out the working of Satan that has wanted to change pure worship into formal worship in order to draw as many people as possible and to change the true faith of Jehovah's Witnesses into a new religion (Romans 1:21-25; Galatians 1:6-14).
8. Jehovah does not approve of such a religious organization and of this work carried out in the world, for having been discovered in II Thessalonians 2:7, 8 as a work of evil to be finally destroyed in the Armageddon (Matthew 7:20-23).
9. Nonetheless, Jehovah shall justify His name on the eve of the Armageddon through a minority of faithful servants as He did in all times (Luke 17:26-30 ; Jeremiah 15:17 ; 42:2 ; 44:28, etc. ).
10. Consequently, we are not a religion, and we strive hard to discard all religious teachings and traditions of any kind while we continue to urge nations to (observe), above all, the Laws and Word of God (Isaiah 8:20; The Acts 20:20).
Appeal
As a result of this resolution unanimously adopted by the present assembly numbering over 3000 persons we all want to launch an appeal to the whole, to all those that agree with us and who, wherever they may be, strive to preserve uncompromised and unstained the true faith as laid down by Juda, 3, and at the same time make the truth and light shine by this last warning sent to humankind, now before the end of the world.
Cluj-Napoca, 1992 May 2.

I just wanted to add that I am not affiliated with (The Association)

I posted the above as information and the purpose of showing that there is divisions among the ranks of the JWs even though they claim unity and declare that the churches of the world are divided.

:eh:

I don't know if that works...look at the tons of divisions and splits in the Christian church. We've gone from a church in Rome 1900 years ago to..well...hundreds of denominations.

Hardly any cults, religions, or other spiritual paths have one single group following. From Presbyterians to Mormons to Shiites.

Good point Origen. In fact, the first century Christians had dissenters and apostasizers who had to be removed from the congregation. Those within the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses are who we mean are united. True, there are some dissenters who do not openly propogate doubt but they existed in the 1st congregation too. Those who are openly apostosizing are removed. Unlike the Luthern and Episcopallion (sp?) churches that have open disagreement about whether homosexuality is okay. If that happenend in a JW congregation, the person would be disfellowshipped if he/she insisted the Bible did allow homosexuality and would not stop trying to teach such a lie.
