Priest Alexander Permyakov
71. Me: True, but that does not mean that these texts are not the authorship of Jehovah's Witnesses.
72. Galina: These are fake texts. Jehovah's Witnesses could not write such a thing!
73. Me: Do you think I wrote them?
74. Galina: No, but you fell for the bait of some critically minded people...
75. Me: Do you know these people personally?
76. Galina: No, I don't know and I don't want to know.
77. Me: Then you, without knowing them personally, accuse them of slander! Do you remember what you are called? You are one of Jehovah's Witnesses who must always be a witness to the truth. Are you ready to answer for your words?
78. Galina: Ready.
79. Me: Then you will have to prove that these people are slanderers! Bring us the originals of the Watchtower yourself and show us that these issues do not contain what is written on the Internet. In this case, we will apologize to you and never use these texts again, knowing that it is a fake.
80. Galina: The fact that I do not have the originals of these texts does not mean that these copies are not fake.
81. Me: That's right. How nice it is to deal with a math teacher. So you will agree with me that the fact that I do not have the originals of these texts in English does not prove that these copies of the translations are a forgery. I will leave you copies of these statements from the Watchtower so that you can then study them in a normal way and find an "alibi" for these materials. I know your research will be honest. If we were talking about statements from the Orthodox catechism, then it would be up to me to check the references. At the very beginning of our dialogue, you stated that your understanding of salvation completely coincides with the opinion of the OSB. Now you will have the opportunity to demonstrate this solidarity with the organization. And now I want to draw your attention to one more fact. Jehovah's Witnesses always present in their literature only a part of the parable of the faithful and discreet slave. But it also has a sequel. Let's see how this parable ends:
"But if that servant, being angry, says in his heart, 'My lord will not come soon,' and begins to beat his fellows, and to eat and drink with drunkards, then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect, and in an hour when he does not think, and will cut him in pieces, and will subject him to the same fate as the hypocrites; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 24:48-51). Why do you think Jehovah's Witnesses are omitting this important Bible text?
82. Irina Petrovna (headmaster): I understand, because according to the teachings of the Watchtower, from 1914 to 1919, the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses was part of Satan's organization.
83. Natalia Viktorovna (OPK teacher): It turns out that Jehovah's Witnesses have changed the text of Matt. 24:48-51 into a very uncomfortable prophecy for them. If Christ came, as Jehovah's Witnesses say, in 1914,13 then the Jehovah's Witnesses could not meet Him. After all, they were in Satan's organization until 1919. Hence, according to the text of Matt. 24:48-51 The society of Jehovah's Witnesses is an "evil slave" whom the master "will cut in pieces and subject to the same fate as the hypocrites; there (in the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses) there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
