THE INTERNATIONAL THEOCRATIC
CONVENTION
"GIRDLE
YOURSELF AND TELL THE TRUTH!"
CLUJ-NAPOCA, 1992 MAY 2
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 Convention 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 Jehovah's
Witnesses.
3. In conformity with
Bible prophecies in the period when the judgment of God takes place, the
Devil has devised an imitation of the true faithful class and is striving
today to mislead and deceive the elect ones (II Thessalonians 2:9-12; Matthew
24:24).
4. This man of sin
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 our position
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 "more and more shining 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
declared starting 1922, to be to the liking of Satan's representatives,
acknowledging them as authorities ordained 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 religious organization and this work carried out in the
world, for having been discovered in 2Thessalonians 2:7, 8 as a work of
lawlessness 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 conventioners 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 Jude 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.
