Page 8: In God's new world, man will be taught to cooperate with earth's environment. As humans put away selfish practices, they will be less vulnerable to natural hazards.

Correction: There will be no natural hazards in the new earth.

Isaiah 65:17 "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind."

Watchtower Contradiction. Page 8: Further, Jehovah God-the Creator of natural forces-will see to it that his human family and earthly creation are never again threatened by the forces of nature. Then the earth will truly be a paradise. (Isaiah 65:17, 21, 23; Luke 23:43)

 

Page 13: We knew we had a share, even if it was only to ring a doorbell and leave a handbill. By careful preparation prior to each weekend's activities, we knew what we would say.

Correction: True Christians rely on the Holy Spirit on what to say.

Luke 12:12 "For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."

 

Page 15: If your parents have taught you about these things, you have reason to be grateful because this enables you to heed the inspired command: " Remember, now, your Grand Creator."

Note: Jesus Christ is the Grand Creator!

Colossians 1:16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

 

Page 15: One youth said regarding her early parental training: "Everything in life always came back to Jehovah. This was the key to my remembering my Creator."

Note: True Christians will turn to Jesus Christ.

Matthew 11:28 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

 

Page 15: Another young woman observed: "I'll be forever grateful to my parents for teaching me that Jehovah is a real person. They showed me how to love him and told me about the joy of serving him full-time."

Note: True Christians will serve Jesus Christ.

Romans 1:1-4 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

 

Page 16: Have you come to view Jehovah as such a person, a trusted friend with whom you can have a precious relationship?-Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23.

Note: Have you come to view Jesus as a trusted friend?

John 15:12-15 "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you."

 

Page 16: Thus, when the apostle John wrote about his anticipated resurrection to heavenly life, John observed: "We shall be like (God), because we shall see him just as he is." (1 John 3:2)

Note: John was talking about Jesus Christ.

1 John 2:23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

 

Page 21: Our Creator, Jehovah God, is zealous for fine works, and so is his Son, Jesus Christ.

Note: God is zealous for our sincere faith and trust in Jesus Christ.

John 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."

 

Page 22: "It is a privilege to receive an assignment from Jehovah God through his organization," stated Mark Noumair, who served as a missionary in Kenya for 11 years and is now a Gilead instructor.

Page 22-23: Finally, Milton Henschel, the Society's president, addressed the audience of 2,734 on the subject "Jehovah's Visible Organization is Unique." What makes God's organization something without equal? It is neither its size nor its power but the fact that it is guided by God's righteous regulations and judicial decisions.

Correction: True Christians will be rely on the Holy Spirit for direction.

Acts 13:2-4 As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away. So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

 

Page 23: Today, Jehovah's organization is united as it operates under the guidance of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19, 20)

Correction: God does not work through a organization but through people.

Acts 1:8 "But you (not it) shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

 

Page 29: Sadly, the Israelites often yielded to the sin of forgetfulness. With what results? "Again and again they would put God to the test, and they pained the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember his hand, the day that he redeemed them from the adversary." Eventually, their forgetfulness of Jehovah's commands resulted in their being rejected by him.

Note: Jesus Christ is the Holy One of Israel!

Acts 3:14-15 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

 

Page 30: Those early trailblazers often worked alone or in small isolated groups. They faced loneliness, deprivation, and other severe tests of integrity as they persevered in proclaiming the Kingdom message.

Correction: The early trailblazers preached about Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:23-24 But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
