I'm waiting for you to give us historical facts of the apostacy that has happened in the early church

And I mean facts not links to any of JW.org

Come on I want to set the world on the right path, as those old bad Catholics have deceived the world and the Watchtower and Jehovah Witness will set us all on the right path

Apostasy Historical silence

There is no mention in any of the writings of the early Fathers of a great apostasy of the whole Church or any sort of battle for the faith on such a scale. They mention individual heretics and certain heretical movements which began years after the ascension of Christ and the day of Pentecost which grew and spread, but there is no mention of any sort of total apostasy. If it is assumed that the Church Fathers were part of the apostasy then it is likely that the Church Fathers would have mentioned their newly developed doctrine as a contrast in condemnation of the Christians who still stubbornly remained faithful to the older apostolic teachings! But there is no sign in the writings of the Church Fathers of such a controversy, nor are there any other writings which support the notion of a mass apostasy from the true faith. History is totally silent. History mentions other great splits and schisms within the Church (such as the Ebionites, Arianism, the Great Schism between the Orthodox and the Catholics in 1054, and the Protestant Reformation which began in 1517) but about this massive schism there is total silence.

Ppm, I trust the Bible. It recorded Jesus prophecy foretelling that genuine Christians would not be able to be distinguished from false until the ''conclusion of the system of things''. - Matthew 13:24-30
The prophecy is explained at verses 36-43. History confirms apostasy has reigned supreme.

What are the 12 months named after?
January: named after Janus, the god of doors and gates.
February: named after Februalia, a time period when sacrifices were made to atone for sins.
March: named after Mars, the god of war. etc, etc
It is the same with each day of the week.
Pagan beliefs and practices were absorbed by Christendom and re-labelled as Christian on the Catholic Church watch. Protestantism has brought no reform. Did the so-called Church Fathers not know they were honoring pagan gods?

Jesus has nominated what lies ahead.

(Matthew 13:40-43) Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. 41 The Son of man will send his angels, and they will collect out from his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and people who practice lawlessness, 42 and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be. 43 At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Let the one who has ears listen.

We are very near the end of the '' conclusion of the system of things.''
