Timbhoni Ta Yehovha

Timbhoni ta Yehovha i vukhongeri bya xikreste lebyi nga pfumeriki e ka vunharhu-vun'we ku hambana na vukhongeri bya vukreste lebyi tolovelekeke.[1] Ntlawa lowu wu vika vulandzeri bya misava hinkwayo bya kwalomu ka 8.683.117 miliyoni ta vahuweleri,[2] kwalomu ka 15 wa timiliyoni wa lava kumekaka e mitsombanweni, na kwalomu ka 20.919.041 wa timiliyoni ta vanhu lava veke kona e Xitsundzuxweni.[3] Timbhoni ta Yehovha ti rhangeriwa hi Huvo leyi Fumaka, kunga ntlawa wa vakulu e Warwick, lowu simekaka tidyondzo hikwato ta vona [4] kuya hi tinhlamuselo ta Bhibhele .[5] Vatirhisa ngopfu Bhibhele ya vona leyi tiviwaka hi , Vuhundzuluxeri bya matsalwa bya Misava leyintshwa,[6] hambi leswi tibuku tavona ti tshahaka vuhundzuluxeri byin'wana .[7] Vupfumela leswaku kuherisiwa ka mafambiselo ya sweswi ya misava e Armageddon kutshinele, naswona leswaku ku simekiwa ka Mfumo wa Xikwembu laha misaveni, hi xona ntsena xintshuxo xa swirhalanganya hikwaswo leswi languteke vanhu hikwavo.[8]

Ntlawa lowu wusukela eka Swichudeni swa Bhibhele, kunga ntlawa lowu simekiweke kwalomu ka malembe ya 1870 hi Charles Taze Russell loyi a sunguleke Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society, naswona vathlela va cinca mafambisele na tidyondzo ta vona e hansi ka vurhangeri bya Joseph Franklin Rutherford.[9][10] Vito ra Timbhoni ta Yehovha[11] riamukeriwile hi ntlawa lowu hi lembe ra 1931 leswaku wutihambanisa na mintlawa yin'wana ya Swichudeni swa Bhibhele leswi sukaka e tidyondzweni ta  Russell.[12][13][14]

Timbhoni ta yehovha titiveka ngopfu hi kuchumayela ka muti-hi-muti, kuhangalasa tibuku tavona leti vuriwaka Xihondzo xo Rindza na Xalamuka!, ku ala Vusocha na kucheriwa ka ngati. Vatshemba leswaku iswa nkoka ku tirhisa vito ra Yehova eku khongeleni. Va ala Vunharhu-vun'we, Kupona ka moyaxiviri, na ndzilo wa tihele, leswi va vulaka swi hambana na matsalwa. Ava tlangeri Khisimusi, Gudu, Masiku yo tswariwa kumbe tiholide na swihenwa leswi va vulaka swi huma eka vukhongeri bya Vujagana naswona swihambana na Vukreste.[15] Valandzeri vantlawa lowu va vula tidyondzo ta vona "Ntiyiso" naswona vativona vari "entiyisweni".[16] Va vona vanhu van'wana lava naga ehandle ku vupfumeri lebyi tani hi lava hombolokeke naswona vari e hansi ka nhlohlotelo wa Sathana, naswona va hunguta ku tihlanganisa na vona.[17] Vuxupuri bya nhlengeletano/vandla byi hlanganisa Kususiwa kunga rito ravona leri hlamuselaka ku hlongoriwa no bakanyiwa.[18] Vanhu lava susiweke vanga ha thleriseriwa loko va voniwa va hundzukile.[19]

Vuyimo bya vukhongeri leyi mayelana na ku ala vusocha na ku hlonipha mujeko, byi va vangele madzolonga na Mifumo ya matiko yo hlaya. Hiswona leswi vangeleke leswaku, van'wana va Timbhoni ta Yehovha va xanisiwa naswona vukhongeri byavona byi arisiwa ematikweni man'wana. Kuphikelela ka vona e tihuveni ta milawu swi hlohlotele timfanelo ta ximunhu ematikweni yohlaya.[20]

Nhlangano lowu wu thlele wu soriwa ngopfu eka timhaka leti hlanganisaka Vuhundzuluxeri bya vona bya Bhibhele, Tidyondzo ta vona, Makhomele ya ti mhaka taku xanisa himasangu, na kuhlohlotela no chavisa valandzeri vavona. Mixungeto leyi yi ariwile hi varhangeri vavona naswona yinwana yi kanetiwile etihuveni ta milawu.

Nevertheless, he persisted in moulding the Society to suit his own programme of activist evangelism under systematic central control, and he succeeded in creating the administrative structure of the present-day sect of Jehovah's Witnesses."

For many years Rutherford's followers had been called a variety of names: 'International Bible Students', 'Russellites', or 'Millennial Dawners'. In order to distinguish clearly his followers from the other groups who had separated in 1918 Rutherford proposed that they adopt an entirely new name—Jehovah's witnesses."

All of this tends to confusion and hinders those of good will who are not better informed from obtaining a knowledge of the truth."
