Apostles of DenialThe writer has made a thorough study of the history, doctrines and claims of the Jehovah's Witnesses, and cannot fail to conclude that although professedly Christian, this group clearly represents a system adverse to the teachings of the Bible, a system denying God's Word. Thus the title follows quite naturally. Truly the Jehovah's Witnesses have a message and messengers, but this message is, as this book will show, a message of denial, carried by apostles of denial! - p. 2. |
