Be careful when you're a member of an organization that tells you how to thank how to act and how to feel. JW's are a cult I know I was in it for 25 years. Very political, not very spiritual, fake people everywhere half of which are medicated. But yet they boast what organization vindicates Jehovah's name? My question is where did you get Jehovah😅😅 was that his real name? But you say you have the truth but do you really? So many unanswered questions, so many changes, what you believed years before could be changed in an instant. No apologies no explanation watchtower owes you nothing. But yet you still continue to blindly follow it. I am so ashamed of myself. I am so ashamed of myself.

Witnesses use the term "independent thinking" in condemning the same idea that the Bible does in various texts: (Pr 28:26) He that is trusting in his own heart is stupid, but he that is walking in wisdom is the one that will escape. (Jer 10:23) I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step. (1Co 1:18-20) For it is written: "I will make the wisdom of the wise [men] perish, and the intelligence of the intellectual men I will shove aside." Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the debater of this system of things? Did not God make the wisdom of the world foolish? These Bible writers are warning us against *human* "wisdom" or thinking that is independent of God's input.

I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. I was required to "prepare for" and attend FIVE meetings per week...The Ministry School, The Service Meeting, The Book Study, The Watchtower Study and the Public Talk. Along with this, I was expected to get at LEAST 10 hours of "Field Service" or Door to Door each month, prepare and give a "talk" about every two months, and attend all of the Circuit and District Conventions. (District Conventions back then were FIVE LONG DAYS.) I had very little time or energy for anything else, and I rarely did any homework. I was also not allowed to have any friends in "the world" or "worldly" friends. I was not allowed to partake in ANY after school activities...I was not even allowed to join the Chess Club. I never got to celebrate Christmas or have a birthday party...not to mention Easter, 4th of July or any other holiday. And I did not have a clue that I was in a cult. I believed everything I was taught since I was a baby, and like I was trained, would DEFEND "the truth" to anyone that tried to show me the true light or real truth. I was about 40 years old when I began to question what I had been taught. I coincided with them changing the doctrine on 1914 yet again, due to their "new light." According to them, the generation of 1914, is STILL alive, and Jesus has already returned, but he came invisibly. Once I started to do honest research with a lot of it using the "Societies" own past publications, my eyes were opened. (Among other things, they have had one false prophesy after another.) I have now been free from this high control cult for many years, after doing a "long fade" as to avoid being disfellowshiped and shunned, simply for no longer agreeing with their doctrine. One thing to keep in mind...you may....just may, be able to plant a small seed of doubt in the mind of a JW, but they are TRAINED to raise their shields and NOT even listen to anyone or anything that questions the teaching of their Governing Body...especially an X-JW who they refer to as "apostates." They will not visit your church, or read anything you give to them. At your door, they may take it, but they are trained to throw it away without looking at it. Never forget they are truly cultists. And I am so glad I have freed myself from them.

[@Berean_with_a_BTh]

It seems this video has attracted the attention of some JW Trolls. So let's start with John 1:1-3, the JW goto passage for trying to prove Jesus isn't God: _In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made._ The first thing to note is that this passage alone totally destroys the JW claim that Jesus is a creation, since he has been with God since the very beginning. Neither is Jesus some sort of demi-god. The third clause of John 1:1 in Greek reads καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος (kai theos ēn ho logos), literally meaning "and God was the Word". JWs make much of the lack of the article ὁ (ho) before Θεὸς (theos) in the third clause of the Greek text, saying its absence means the Word was only "a god". But they are inconsistent: John 1:18 & 8:54, Romans 8:33 & 9:5 and 1 Corinthians 8:4 & 8:6, 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 5:19, Galatians 6:7, Ephesians 4:6, 1 Thessalonians 2:5, and Revelation 21:7 all lack the article ὁ (ho) before θεὸς (theos) with exactly the same accenting, but the New World Translation (NWT) has no trouble omitting the indefinite article there and translating θεὸς (theos) there as 'God'. 2 Corinthians 1:3 even has the exact same καὶ θεὸς (kai theos) wording as John 1:1 following ὁ πατὴρ τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν (ho patēr tōn oiktirmōn) - an unambiguous reference to God the Father! On the JW's translation 'principle', 2 Corinthians 1:3 in the NWT should be translated as: _Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and a god of all comfort,_ thus differentiating between God as _the Father of mercies_ and Jesus Christ as _a god of all comfort,_ but they failed to do so. Oops! In all, there are 282 instances of the anarthrous θεός (theos) in its various inflections in the Greek New Testament, but the NWT only translates it as 'a god', 'god', 'gods' or 'godly' 16 times, demonstrating a mere 5.7% (1/17.6) commitment to their translation 'principle'. The next paragraph is for nerds Unlike English, Greek Grammar lacks the indefinite article and the Greek article functions differently from the English definite article. Plus the Greek article isn't needed for a noun to be definite. Nouns lacking the article are anarthrous. In Greek Grammar, θεός (theos) in the third clause of John 1:1 is what is known as a pre-verbal anarthrous nominative predicate noun. That is, the noun precedes a verb, lacks the article, and is the subject of and qualifies the object of the clause. In the New Testament, this form almost always denotes a quality. What this tells us is that the Word is qualitatively God. Put another way, the Word is distinct from but has the same nature or essence as God. There are very few cases in the New Testament where this form is indefinite. Thus, the onus is those arguing for the indefinite sense to explain why it has to be so here. Had John inserted the article before θεός (theos), that would mean the Word is identical with God (Unitarianism). The NWT even goes so far as to have Mark 12:27 say "He is not a God of the dead, but of the living" and to have Luke 20:38 say "he is not a God of the dead, but of the living" - note the quite unnecessary _a_ before God. Matthew 22:32 creates a problem for them, though, because that verse has the article - ὁ Θεὸς (ho theos) - which explains why the NWT translates the other two as 'a God' in spite of the lack of the article. The NWT translates Matthew 22:32 as "He is the God, not of the dead, but of the living". Translating καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος (kai theos ēn ho logos) as "and the Word was a god", as in the NWT, is polytheistic - a stance the NWT's treatment of Matthew 22:33, Mark 22:27, and Luke 20:38 reinforces. That Jesus is fully God (not just 'a god') is confirmed in: *John 8:58* _Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."_ The Judeans' response in John 8:58 demonstrates that they fully understood the implications of what Jesus was saying. *John 10:30* _I and the Father are one_ The Greek adjective ἕν (hen), meaning 'one', being in the neuter - not the masculine εἶς (heis), which would say the Father and Son are one person - asserts unity of essence, not merely being in communion, or unity of will or of power. That this is the correct understanding is confirmed by the Judeans’ reaction at John 10:31-33. Jesus’ statement denies both Sabellianism (Unitarianism) and Arianism (JWs). The same sentiment is found in: *John 17:11* _Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one._ and *John 17:22* _The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one_ Note that there is no suggestion Christians will attain the same essence or nature as God but that, as God's sons, Christians will ultimately share the one essence or nature - as Christ's bride. *John 20:28* _Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"_ Note that Jesus accepted Thomas' acclamation. *Romans 9:5* _to them (the Israelites) belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed for ever. Amen._ *Philippians 2:5-11* _Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father._ *Colossians 1:15-19* _He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities - all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent. For in him all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell_ *Titus **2:11**-13* _For the grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men, training us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions, and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this world, awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ_ *Hebrews 1:2-8* _in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the universe by his word of power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has obtained is more excellent than theirs. For to what angel did God ever say, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"? And again, when he brings the first-born into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire." But of the Son he says, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever, the righteous scepter is the scepter of thy kingdom"_ *2 Peter 1:1* _Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ_ *1 John 5:20* _And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, to know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life._ Additionally, for JWs to argue there are two gods in John 1:1 makes them polytheists. In which case they have a real problem with their failure to truly worship Jesus in light of: *John 5:22-23* _The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him._ Note how the Son is to be given the same honor as the Father and the Father isn't honored by those who refuse to do so. The greatest honor we can give God is to worship him "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:23). Indeed, we are commanded to do so: *Deuteronomy 6:5* _You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might_ So, anyone who fails to honor the Son by giving him the same worship the Father is due both dishonor the Father and breaks the greatest commandment. *2 John 1:7* _For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist._ The same sentiment is found in 1 John 4:2-3. Note the clause _"the coming of Jesus Christ"._ This says far more than that Jesus was born; it points to his pre-existence as the divine λόγος (λόγος). And it tells us that anyone who denies that pre-existence _"is the deceiver and the antichrist"._ JWs would do well to reflect on how someone who denies Jesus’ divinity and refuses to give him the same worship the Father can attain salvation The NWT, as might be expected, mistranslates most of the above Christological passages for the sake of their dogma and contrary to Greek grammar and/or context. Now watch the JW Trolls respond with their obsfucations, specious nonsense, and sophistry...

At that point I had already read the book of Mathew and I do remember reading the warnings from Jesus about him false prophets coming in his name. When asked she referred me to a different verse in the bible Old Testament which claimed that God is Jehovah. But she was in capable of explaining Jesus second coming which hasn't taken place, yet.

JW felt off to me and so I stopped going to the kingdom hall with my Grandma when i was about 12.

I'm 22 now and she still is a part of it, I always believed in god but I didn't believe the ways they did. I left organized religion altogether when i was 12 but the brainwashing is still carved into me even now. I find it hard to assimilate and believe what other christians believe because the way i was raised the JW beliefs are just carved into my mind on certain subjects. Even though I'm aware of this its so hard to shake it and its hard to listen to what christians believe and it has left me with lasting trust issues on religion. When you're brought up with this way of thinking its so hard to trust what the truth is. I have a son now and i will not subject him to the sad, lonely childhood i had. I couldnt participate in holiday festivities at school so i was separated, had to sit out when others were singing christmas songs in chorus, couldnt go to many chorus events because they just so happened to be at a church, no birthdays, no participating in my friends birthdays, because it all "takes glory away from god and puts it onto yourself or someone else" and for holidays it was all pagan, even mothers day?

To this day my mom will talk about some kingdom hall and organization stuff to me and i just nod my head. I'd never ever try to talk her out of it, she's 79 and finds it satisfying. Last year the leadership said that people like me might still get saved at Armageddon and i hope that makes her feel better. When i looked at historical Christianity i realized a lot of what i was taught Christians believed were straw men. Though i still think JWs got a lot of things right about primitive Christianity, which had always been a work in progress.

[@ncp5957]

@@cygnustsp Thxs for your reply. Yes, the born again experience can feel tough to receive for us analytical people! But don't give up. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is received by faith, just like the faith needed for answers to prayer or receiving a miracle or like anything those people in Heb 11 received. Faith is basically just taking God at His Word and not wavering. Like when you believe a word from a trusted friend, you know they'll keep their word and can believe them. It takes effort and tenacity sometimes to stay the course and not be moved when everything in the physical looks contrary. 1 Pet 1:7. I had little knowledge about receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit when l first heard about it. But l saw Rom 8:9 (latter part) and l was determined to receive no matter what - my eternity was at stake here! Acts 2:38 too. And l wanted to hear/know God too. I did everything l knew (prayer etc) during the next few months and l received in almost a year. One day l was reading an article about the baptism in the Holy Spirit, going through the scriptures on it (faith comes by hearing too). I felt God's presence and that night l asked and received. Thank you LORD! I am certain believers are meant to receive at baptism, early on in the christian walk, but so often wrong/lack of teaching etc robs people. Some people receive with amazing experiences, some are not so obvious to any observers. Receiving the Holy Spirit isn't meant to be difficult, those in Acts chps 7,10 & 19 received very soon. Don't give in. Luke 11:13. On heaven - l see saints will be living on earth when Jesus returns. But l haven't found any mention of saints living in heaven when Jesus returns. They reign with Him on earth. New Jerusalem comes to earth in Rev too Jew - maybe messianic jew would fit better:). Or skip any names and just follow Jesus.

Peter also denied Jesus three times, as if he did not know Jesus at all for fear of man. Was Jesus Congregation wrong? Judas betrayed Jesus. Was Jesus’ Congregation wrong? God called the Israelites “His chosen people.” Deuteronomy 7:6 But they always disappointed Jehovah. They betrayed him so many times. PSALMS 78:40-41 They even killed Jesus. JOHN 19: 6 Was God’s choice of people wrong? Did He make a mistake? God had to retire Moses and let him die because he was getting tired and and stressed out he was making mistakes. NUMBERS 20:12 Was God wrong for choosing Moses? Jehovah blessed Solomon with wisdom beyond compare. But in the end Solomon betrayed God beyond His limit. 1 KINGS 11:9-10 Was God’s wisdom wrong? The problem with the world is they think Jehovah’s Witnesses are perfect people. We are all imperfect and sinners without exception. Jehovah’s Witnesses can be wrong too. There are many fake ones too. The only difference between Jehovah’s Witnesses and others is Jehovah Himself called His people “His Witness.” Every religions in the world is named by man. But Jehovah named His people “You are my witnesses and I am God.” ISAIAH 43:12 Every version of the Bible says the same. There is no scripture in any version of the Bible at all of God saying “you are my Catholics” or “you are my Protestants,” not even “you are my Christians. That is because God knew Christianity would be so divided and messed up and turn into Christendom killing each other (Catholics vs Protestants for hundreds of years) and they twists His Word, and can’t even figure out and identify who God is and who Jesus is.

The unity of God is well explained in the Bible, and the JWs actually have part of it right. The Bible does teach in Colosians that Jesus was the firstborn of all creation. That proves he was created by God the Father and is subordinate to him. Plus, we can be one with God and Jesus. The Bible teaches these things plainly but Christianity in general has fallen away and can't accept Biblical truth and would rather find a creed that fits their narrative rather than accept the truth written in the Bible.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not "a part of Christianity", or Christendom. They are *the only true Christians.* I see many comments from people seemingly claiming that JW do not accept Jesus, minimize Jesus, or do not recognize Jesus as the way, the truth and the life, or something to this effect. Nothing could be more false. Perhaps they mean "minimize" because we do not believe Jesus is God, and we don't believe that, because Jesus did not believe that. (John 17:3) This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. 4:53 Jesus is God's first creation: (Colossians 1:15) He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; (Revelation 3:14) “To the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ceʹa write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God: 5:24 Jesus not worshipped: (Matthew 4:10) Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” _The Greek word for worship_ can also mean obeisance depending on context. We honor Jesus to the glory of God, who sent Jesus. Phil 2:11 6:00 Jesus' resurrection: 1 Cor 15:44 It is sown a physical body; it is raised up a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one. 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living person.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. _Jesus is the last Adam._ 7:38 Jesus second coming: Jesus' coming generally refers to when Jesus come to judge and to bring Armageddon. What JW believe about 1914 it that Jesus was enthroned in God's kingdom in that year, thus, beginning his "presence" in kingdom power. The end of the gentile times. (Matthew 24:3) While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?” 8:44 Holy spirit is not a person. (Acts 2:33) Therefore, because he was exalted to the right hand of God and received the promised holy spirit from the Father, he has poured out what you see and hear. _Holy spirit was poured out on the disciples. As they were baptized with it._ 9:57 There is no trinity: (1 Corinthians 8:6) there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him. _The apostle was speaking directly about this topic, who God is._ He did not say _the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit_ there. Because he did not believe that. Such a concept was foreign to the apostles, and to Jesus. 11:10 Salvation is by faith: (James 2:26) Indeed, just as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. No one can earn salvation, but faith without work is dead. *Can a dead faith save?* 11:57 Only 144,000 go to heaven: (Revelation 14:3) And they are singing what seems to be a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders, and no one was able to master that song except the 144,000, who have been bought from the earth. (Revelation 5:9, 10) And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought people for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.” _These ones serve with Jesus as kings over the earth._ 12:50 Humans do not have an eternal immortal soul: JW believe we are a soul. The physical body with life's breath. At time, in the Bible, soul is used in conjunction to living again in the resurrection. However: Ezekiel 18:4 Look! All the souls-to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son-to me they belong. The soul that is sinning-it itself will die. 15:21 There is no hell: The Hebrew "sheol" and the Greek "hades" are translated as hell in many Bible's. Those translators also mistakenly translated the Greek "gehenna" as hell as well, confusing people. Hell is mankind's common grave, where people are literally dead awaiting a resurrection. Hell will be emptied, and the hell is thrown into the lake of fire, Gehenna. The second death, meaning it will be gone forever. KJV Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

[@BasicBiblicalTruth]

JWs are not Christians because they reject the true Jesus and accept a Jesus of their own imaginations. JWs misrepresent the Bible to maintain their false religion. Take your verses for instance: JWs rip Col 1:15 out of context so they can claim he is a creation, failing to look at the entire sentence. V. 16 is part of the same Greek sentence in which Paul tells us why he calls Jesus the firstborn OVER all creation. What reason does he give? Is it ” because 1) he is the agent of creation, ie the one who created all things (positional) or 2) he was the first created thing (chronological)? This is where JWs and other unitarians demonstrate they’re not honest. They will not honestly answer the question, but will deflect, play “whataboutism,” or flat out lie. I could go on and address the other verses that you misrepresent, rip out of context, or flat-out-lie about, but by posting one question will make it easy for people to see that you are not an honest person when you don't answer it.

@@jahtruthdefender are you sure you want to hear it? Let's compare how many JWs Hitler killed to how many died for JWs beliefs. Hitler: 1,200 Now recognize it's impossible to get an accurate number but it's easily tens of thousands. The JWs don't track all the people, whose deaths they are responsible for. People died for stuff JWs don't even believe in anymore.. thats like murder... Anyway here is the breakdown: Why did they die? Some died for believing in the cult, like those Hitler killed. Jehovah's witnesses banned organ transplants for a decade while they had approximately 1.5-2 million members. People definitely died. A couple thousand, likely. They Also used to have a hard ban on blood fractions. Many people died, for the organ and blood fractions ban. All totally unnecessarily. Why? JWs don't even believe these bans anymore so technically the cult killed with their own false teachings. Idiots, those leading and following. Myself included for a few decades. Next is the likely many thousands of people who killed themselves due to the evil shunning practice. Even one of the cult leaders has been affected by it. Stephen Letts own nephew killed himself because he was shunned. It woke his sister up from this evil cult. She in on KZbin with her testimony. Now blood transfusions: current estimates is 5-600 a YEAR die from this. You killed more people than Hitler, just this decade alone, and we ain't even half way through. Respect for life my a$$. JWs would probably run into a burning building to save pictures of their families, instead of their families. Because they can't seem to understand that a symbol is worth LESS than that which it symbolizes. If the governing body would like to publish the actual numbers I'd be happy to update my estimate. Either way. This cult doesn't respect life at all, ignore their words see their actions. Defend that.

[@jahtruthdefender]

@@ramrod576 Yeah, I hear the concerns you're raising, and I understand why these issues are so important to you. When it comes to practices like the blood transfusion ban, organ transplants, or shunning, they certainly can have a significant impact on people's lives. I acknowledge that some might have suffered, and even died, due to these decisions. However, attributing tens of thousands of deaths to these policies or comparing them to Hitler’s atrocities seems like an oversimplification of a much more complex issue. First, with issues like organ transplants and blood transfusions, while it’s possible some people were negatively affected, we don’t have definitive numbers to back up claims of widespread deaths. At the same time, no one talks about those who have suffered or even died from receiving transplants or blood transfusions. The argument lacks the full scope of facts from either side, making it hard to make sweeping claims. And the numbers you mention seem arbitrary, without any reliable sources to verify them. Throwing out large figures like "tens of thousands" without evidence only weakens the argument. We must be cautious when using numbers, as they can easily distort the true scale of the issue without solid backing. On the issue of shunning, yes, it can be emotionally difficult, but it’s based on Biblical principles that Jehovah’s Witnesses follow closely. People are fully aware of the consequences of their actions, and they make their choices based on that knowledge. Many thousands are disfellowshipped each year, and many return, which suggests that they find value in the practice and come back to their faith. If shunning were causing widespread harm or mass suicides, we would likely see far more evidence of that-but we don’t. Regarding suicide, I think it's important to address the fact that it’s an incredibly complex issue. I personally know of five suicides that had absolutely nothing to do with religion. People take their own lives for all kinds of reasons-mental health issues, personal crises-and it's unfair to lay the blame entirely on religious practices. If religion were involved in these cases, many would be quick to blame it, but that would miss the real, deeper causes behind the tragedy. Simplifying suicide in this way doesn’t do justice to the complexity of the human mind and the factors at play. Finally, while I understand the comparison to Hitler is meant to show the harm caused by certain JW policies, it's not a fair or accurate comparison. Hitler's regime was focused on systematic extermination and targeted millions for death, including Jehovah’s Witnesses themselves. Comparing that to a religious group following its understanding of the Bible undermines the real horrors of the Holocaust. There’s a big difference between intentional, state-sponsored genocide and a religion’s doctrinal practices. In the bigger picture, while there are legitimate concerns about these practices, the argument weakens when we look at the facts more closely. Faith and personal responsibility play a huge role in these decisions, and it’s important to keep that in mind before making such far-reaching claims.

No good person in the bible accidentally killed with false teachings they pretended were God's desires... If so I would love an example because it would further prove how man made it is . We do have Jehovah killing 70,000 innocents already... So maybe that proof exists. If you can plainly honestly Admit your teachings have killed innocent people then we can continue. I will civilly debate. Otherwise. I won't waste my time with the dishonest ones. The proof is undeniable. Lie to yourself. I won't hear it. Their deaths are more important than what you are protecting. Am I missing something? Jehovah witness taught something true? Now it's different and it's also true? You know that is not how truth works. Be honest. I'd respect you if you could say in chat, Admit honestly that JWs have killed with false teachings. Then we can actually talk. Without honesty there isn't communication. So while I do agree that those old rules have nothing to do with JWs today. Their legacy matters a lot, especially because you still have deadly rules. And it's proven your governing body has sent people to death, wrongly. This is a life and d atb matter. So I'll leave it here. JWs have trouble admitting truth.

JWs are those from churches and other religions who found the TRUTH. Why would anyone want them to go back to those false religions? The only reason would be because JWs existence shows up the false beliefs of others. JWs already know what those false religions teach. They were once part of them. (Matthew 24:9) “Then people will hand you over to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.

If he is a JW, then he already accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior.

[@MargaretRobinson-fj2eg]

Above comment. All witnesses except Jesus as the saviour as God told us he would be. He Jesus will save us from our sins

[@erikaandrews4648]

He has, just not the way you want him to.

Flesh and blood are nowhere in Heaven flesh and blood can not enter the kingdom of God.

[@ambassadorlight3146]

Where is that in the Bible? It says when Jesus calls up the born again dead first, then the born again living. There will be a great meal.

[@theeternalsbeliever1779]

@@ambassadorlight3146 Paul teaches this in 1 Cor. 15:50, where he repeats what Christ told Nicodemus . The evangelicals' idea of what it means to be "born again" is an extremely dangerous deception. Christ said that God's Kingdom and a person who is truly born again cannot naturally be seen by fleshly beings(Jhn 3:3,8). Christ is currently the _only_ human being who has truly experienced this rebirth(Rom. 1:4).

​@@theeternalsbeliever1779rom 1:4 the first fruit of those that slept... Then the dead in christ raised first 1 thess 4:16 then those that are alive 4:17 (gradually as they finish their course)

[@Terri-b4d]

​@@theeternalsbeliever1779yes as you say nicodemus was enlightened by jesus as to the nature of spirit beings.

[@HenriettaMRiley]

correct Flesh and BLOOD.....blood being the operative word, you dont need oxygen in heaven. However flesh and bones can, Just like the MAN Christ Jesus who is in heaven! 1 Tim 2:5 - what did Paul call him after his death....THE MAN! Not spirit, not michael, not an angel. Your in a cult son period and the public now knows it - your tiny tiny tiny little religion is dead.

[@KingoftheNorth56]

1 Corinthians 15:50 says that ‘flesh and blood cannot inherit Gods Kingdom “ so Jesus was raised up in a spiritual body and not fleshly.

Really ?

We believe Jesus became king in 1914. Not his second coming

[@Arthur-g3s1m]

Where is this made up date 1914 for Jesus becoming king found in the Bible? Please give evidence for this date that must be accepted by JWs as truth.

[@ryanehlis426]

And that’s why JW is a cult.

[@bigzachful]

@@Arthur-g3s1m Jesus is King and Jehova is his Father our God. You don’t believe Jesus is king?

[@Arthur-g3s1m]

@@bigzachful You mis-read the question. Where is this made up date 1914 for Jesus becoming king FOUND IN THE BIBLE…? I’ll answer it for you. It’s not! The date originally came from Charles Taze Russell’s measurements of the inner chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza. According to his book series Millennial Dawn the inner chamber measured 1,914 inches. Russell taught that those inches represented years. Hence, the year 1914. When Jesus didn’t return in 1914 as Russell prophesied, it was changed to 1918, then 1925. When those dates failed the WT taught that Jesus actually returned invisibly in 1914 and rules and reigns through the WT. A person will never come to the conclusions of the WT by reading the Bible alone.

JESUS Has always been King. Maschiach or Christ means King.

What kind of loving God would design Hell, a place of torment?

[@777Tralfaz777]

Hell is the grave, where people are unconscious until the resurrection. Then hell will be emptied, as people are resurrected, then hell is thrown into the lake of fire, meaning never to come back. Gone forever. KJV Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

[@MargaretRobinson-fj2eg]

Above comment. God told Adam if he ate the fruitt he would die and go back to dust in hell the grave. Eccl9 v 5 the dead know nothing

[@ericproseus4118]

You are pretty much spot on until the 16:00 mark. Nobody ascends to hell or heaven and returns to earth to be a testimony of it. Zero scripture supports this. In fact the opposite is true. The rich man calling out to Lazarus to send someone back from the dead to tell his relatives so they wouldn't suffer the same demise as he did. What was he told? No dice. They have Moses and the prophets and they DON'T BELIEVE THEM SO THEY WON'T BELIEVE SOMEONE WHO COMES BACK FROM THE DEAD.

[@Roquea.207]

This parabole of Jesus is actually emphasizing the fact that no one NEEDS in reality to come from dead with the objective of making known to the living people there’s a hell Also who isn’t faithful in the small will not be in the big neither The whole passage proves what the pastor is saying Read the Bible before opining
