Watchtower — Quitter of a Promise

___

Until 1995 Watchtower’s Governing Body[1] expressed the following promise[2]:

Of those who quit in their faithfulness to God’s promises, the Watchtower organization teaches the following[3]:

Quitting a Promise

As of November 1995 Watchtower’s Governing Body quit “the Creator’s promise” of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away. [4]

If God takes no pleasure in a person who quits on a promise then what pleasure can God take in a person who quits a promise?

The Bible contains no record where the early Christian Governing Body ever enforced a teaching under pain of shunning as God’s will that it later on had to quit on because it was false, or of quitting any promise of God.
