[@Holycurative9610]

As someone who is, according the the jws anyway, an apostate. I go to church every week, I keep the church yard tidy (grass cutting Etc.), have a weekly Bible study with my local vicar, do church maintenance with the electrics and so on and if anyone asks for help I'm the first to help them out. A couple of the older parishioners asked for help with a leaky tap, I helped, a non flushing toilet, I helped, an overgrown garden, I helped, computer problems, I helped, and when these elderly people said to me "how much" I said "NO CHARGE, we're Christians together".... This is the type of Christianity that the jws want to stamp out!!!!! I didn't rewrite the bible to suit my own ends, I don't lie every time I open my mouth like the governing body do, I don't treat my fellow Christians as bottomless money pits, I don't stop other Christians from having a career or a good job or an education. There are a million things, UNCHRISTIAN THINGS, that I would never do but the cult of jw does these things every day and then considers me a bad Christian!!!!!

When I was a JW, married to an elder, he forbade from babysitting for a sister unless it was for her to go out in service. Once a small child was going to spend the night with my daughter, but, because he was angry with ME, he made me drive the child home, crying all the way. I fully appreciate the freedom to do what is kind.

You can sense the elder is upset. She no doubt brought up issues he doesn't wish to face so he is lashing out at her and at the same time trying to keep his temper under control. We've all been there at one time or another when we felt we were under attack when defending the organization because we were so certain we had the truth. I experienced a similar situation with an elder when I told him about the NGO affiliation. He got visibly upset and said, "That's not true." He may as well have called me a liar because that is how he reacted. You did an excellent job Eric, of breaking his text to her down bit by bit and exposing the fallacy.

The days of the inquisition of WT GB are over and they know this, nothing is secret anymore, everything is now open to be critiqued, if its truth, so be it, it will stand.

@Errol… my devout mother was in a congregation for more than 30 years. She was a broken and battered wife of a non witness, poor and very lonely. I lived with her for a whole year and not one time did I ever see a witness come to check on her, nor was she ever invited to any get together of witnesses, nor did one person ever call her on the phone. When she was dying the only JW who came to the hospital was the woman who’d studied with her. My mother never missed a meeting, went out in service on a regular basis and fully supported the organization’s dictates. So my question was… in the whole 30 years of faithful attendance and service where were all these loving “Christians” ?

I remember when I came back to investigate the religion of Witnesses (not gone put Gods name before that), to see if they had any answers I was looking for (they didn't, just a pot without any end). when I had studies from the new study book (Enjoy life forever) which was about "How can you detect false religion ". I asked during the studies (one was from Bethel and one an old elder): "Isn't Jesus the King over all and that there actually any class between Christians?" (I don't remember which verse I reference, I think it was a verse from the Romans were Paul said that Jesus is the Lord over everyone). And I have never seen that fear and disbelief in two adult men before. After how they reacted I said that I was ending the studies. Later I got a message from the guy in Bethel that referenced the Psalms 22:22... The fun part is that if you read the norwegian Bible that verse is not 22:22 but actually 22:21 (compared to other Bibles in the world).

You should hear some of the things Elder's have said to me! One meeting a Sister having a part on the school used perfect English! This is a French language area. I was telling my wife that Sister is speaking almost perfect English! But then the council came; the school overseer stated this; "you talk like white men talk, we do not talk like that here, I will give you council after the meeting" And I was watching Zoom so this was recorded by the Congregation Servants in charge of Audio. This Elder tells single Sisters in ministry he always uses a condom while having sex with women, and that his wife is not so beautiful, he only married her because he felt sorry for her family as they were very nice family. This comes from more than one source. He has been seen many times drinking with other married Sister's at bars here. He also told my wife and another Sister when they criticised him that the other Elders also have women outside of their wives. What can they do to me! Besides beautiful women have always been my weak spot! And this Elder has many friends also serving as Elders! He is untouchable when it comes to serious sin! Exempt! In this Congregation we also had an Elder and his wife Abort a child, and the wife telling another Sister that they were trying to do away with the child. Problem was 4 Witnesses stood up but the head Elder dismissed 3 of the witnesses, so now this Sister is running from a Judicial Committee, trying to punish her for slandering this Elder. Problem is everyone knows the Elder's wife, she was pregnant! Then a week later she was no longer pregnant. This is only the second time in my 50 years serving Jehovah I have a Sister commit murder of an unborn helpless baby! The first was my Sons baptised wife, her mother a pioneer sister took her to a Abortion Clinic while my son was at work and they murdered my unborn Grandson! No one ever found out. This is the curtain pulled back for a look inside a Kingdom Hall! Take a real hard look! Adultery, Wife swapping, CSA, Animal Abuse, Satanic Child Sexual Asult on children, look at Nathan Knorr, you name it, it is happening by some Elder's and some Leaders of this Borg!

These men have nothing to do with holiness and definitely don’t have God’s approval. They will definitely face Jesus and this time ,Jesus has a double edged sword to get these robbers, these charlatans. Old members in Mexico are in many occasions abandoned to the point that they get eaten by the rats and they don’t give a care. In the US they abandon them to the system. Shame on them! They don’t even bather to visit them in the convalescent hospitals and if they stay home they don’t even bather to call them. Woe to them hypocrites! They are the APOSTATES the ministers of Satan. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; Matthew 7:15-23; 23:8-15; They use subliminal messages in their publications to trap the mind of people to enlarge their investments and bank accounts while they abandon the orphans and allow the pedophiles to be free to attack their next victim.

I will have only one question for this elder Where in the Bible says than when we are baptize we can identify ourselves in association with an organization? In the book of act everyone that was baptize was baptize in the name of Jesus And Jesus said you will be witnesses of me notof the organization or the GB What hypocrite is not even able to show a true Christian love

@fra365 - I'm not sure she wants to. It's a question of whether there is the possibility of helping the man see reason, because if there isn't then there is this verse to think about: “Do not give what is holy to dogs nor throw your pearls before swine, so that they may never trample them under their feet and turn around and rip you open."

[@jacobfield4848]

Jehovah's Witnesses have proven themselves to be Gods people along time ago, that question is over.

[@BeroeanPickets]

@jacobfield4848 • How can they be God's people? To begin with, they are bringing reproach on God's name by their conduct, shunning policy, and child sexual abuse scandal, thereby fulfilling these words: . . .You who take pride in law, do you dishonor God by your transgressing of the Law?  For “the name of God is being blasphemed among the nations because of you,” just as it is written. (Romans 2:23, 24) Then there is this: 1) They are not preaching in all the inhabited earth, not even close. Billions have never heard their message. 2) They are not preaching the real good news, but a false good news that denies their disciples from becoming children of God. The best Witnesses have to offer is false teaching that Christians can only be friends of God. (Galatians 1:6-9) 3) Matthew 24:14 was fulfilled in the last days of the nation of Israel, but it was not given by Jesus as a identifying mark for a religious organization. The way to identify his disciples is stated at John 13:34, 35, and Witnesses so miss that mark, as this video demonstrates.

[@joanferguson4194]

@Jacob.. I don’t know if you’re young or old, but I’m old enough to have witnessed first hand how Watchtower arrogantly ignored Jesus’s own words at Matthew 24:36 to proclaim instead with great authority and audacity that the end of the world was definitely coming in October of 1975. They started this teaching in early 1963 and added to it over the years until a JW speaker, a circuit and district overseer, Charles Sinutko, gave a resounding talk at a large assembly in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, entitled “Stay Alive ‘til ‘75”. I was personally threatened with being “marked” if I continued to refer to the fact that Jesus said NO ONE knows the day or the hour except the Father!! So your statements are pure implanted Watchtower propaganda that doesn’t hold up to Biblical scrutiny. The most important message the GB are pushing today is the absolute necessity of Jehovah’s Witnesses to dig deep in their pockets and send money to the org… even if you’re dirt poor. You well know this if you follow their pathetic videos! And you must know also they have taken control of Kingdom Halls by the many thousands and sold them for great profit! Then they tell you they need donations to build more Kingdom Halls!! Hypocrisy 101, pure and simple.

Shalom Dear Eric, I have watched many of your KZbin videos on various topics and they are very educational. Can you please tell me, As a Christian, what is your mission and commission? Your youtube channel "About" does not have any information on it.? Agape, Yahweh Kingdom Ministry

[@BeroeanPickets]

@yahwehkingdomministry -- along with others, my mission is to help free the children of God from the bondage of Organized religion.

[@yahwehkingdomministry]

Shalom Dear Eric, Our lord Yeshua Messiah said the following: In Mark 6:46 46 “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? Would not you agree that Obeying Yeshua Messiah means our salvation? After all, In the Gospel of Mark 6:46 our lord Yeshua Messiah is quite offended when people call him lord but they do not obey him! You see Dear Eric, disobeying Yeshua Messiah means our salvation. Heb 5:9 NKJV 9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, Did you notice that Yeshua Messiah said that salvation belongs to only those Christians that obey our lord Yeshua Messiah. While our lord Yeshua Messiah exposed the hypocrisy of Scribes and Pharisees, his commission was not focused on that, nor did he command his disciples to do so. Instead, this is what he commanded his disciples to do. Mark 16:15-16 NKJV "15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel [about the kingdom] to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." Notice, Yeshua Messiah's command is very direct, go and preach the gospel about the kingdom. Our commission as Christian is to preach the Gospel about Yahweh's Kingdom. Those who believe in this Gospel About The Kingdom of Yahweh and get Baptized will gain salvation. Yeshua Messiah's ministry was focused on the preaching the Gospel About The Kingdom of Yahweh. Mark 1:14-15 NKJV 14 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel [a]of the kingdom of Yahweh, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of Yahweh [b]is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Yeshua's Messiah's Disciples (Phillip is 1 example) primary focus too was preaching the Gospel about the kingdom of Yahweh. Notice what Acts 812 says he did? He preached the things concerning the kingdom of Yahweh. Acts 8:12 NKJV 12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of Yahweh and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. Dear Eric, you have so many beautiful educational videos on this youtube channel, but not 1 of them is about our commission, i.e preaching about the Gospel Kingdom Of Yahweh,. Please take to the heart what your brother had just said, after all it means your salvation. Agape, Yahweh Kingdom Ministry

[@LosBereanos]

@@yahwehkingdomministry I certainly do not want to fail to preach the true gospel, so please inform me what is the good news of the kingdom of Yahweh? How is it defined? What does the Kingdom of Yahweh represent for you and me?

[@yahwehkingdomministry]

Shalom Dear Eric, That is a very thought provoking question is it not? From the very first rebellion in the Garden of Eden when our grandparents Adam and Eve disobeyed our Father Yahweh and ate from the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil, our Heavenly Father Yahweh has initiated a master plan in Gen 3:15, a true Messianic Kingdom Government Established by Father Yahweh and his appointed king Yeshua Messiah that will undo the rebellion of mankind and restore the paradise on this earth. Father Yahweh has appointed our lord Yeshua Messiah to be King of this kingdom and we are the citizens of this kingdom. This kingdom will be established on this earth during the 2nd coming of Yeshua Messiah. It's capital will be established in Jerusalem and the kingdom will be spread to the entire world. As Dan 2:44 says: that Yahweh's kingdom will eliminate all of the man made unjust and corrupt governments of this world and establish Yahweh's Theocratic Divine authority on this earth. This government will last forever and never will be corrupt. Born Again Christian Saints (kings and priests) will help our lord Yeshua Messiah to govern this Earthly affairs and also receive immortality. There is a lot more to it in terms of 1st and 2nd resurrection of all dead people and the Great White throne of Judgment of Righteous and unrighteous. It would be a bit faster to summarize it like this: Yahweh’s Messianic Kingdom Will Also Establish A World-Wide Peace & justice (Isaiah 9:7), Eliminate satan & his demons and give all Christian Saints Immortality (Rev 20:1-10), Resurrect Dead People (John 11:43-44), Eliminate Sickness & Death (1 Corinth 15:26-27, 54-57), Eliminate Poverty & Bring Abundance Of Food & Housing To Everyone (Psalm 72:12-14, Isaiah 65:21-22). Finally, it will turn Earth Back Into The Paradise (Isaiah 35:1, 5, 6). It would have to take multiple videos to cover the true gospel message of Messianic kingdom, here is 1 example of it that I made: What is Yahweh's Kingdom kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaGrlqatq52Ejbs That is why we need Christians who have understanding of this vital, life-saving gospel/ good news message to spread and tell it to the others. This is precisely what satan does not want people to know, the Gospel is the vital message of salvation to all who hear it and accept it, and destruction to satan. This is why it is so vital for us as Christians to be laser focusing our ministries on this life saving gospel. You have a great platform and an intelligent mind to break it down to all those viewers you have never heard this vital gospel message and desperately need it for their salvation! Agape,. Yahweh Kingdom Ministry

[@billjones261]

What happens when you pose deep questions or criticism of the doctrines of the JWS to elders is that you are literally defacing their own spiritual -power and they don't like that , these elders disfellowship individuals who question the doctrines made by the top GB men who hold and carry the most spiritual power in the organization. Its all bunch contrived lies which were originally made to self empower men and proliferate the literature they published. All organized religion like the JWS is really a power game endeavoured by men who were unquestionably corrupt and sinful. Its about power and money in the long run. 😳

[@mosehaydid4736]

I have come to the conclusion that Jehovah is not some supreme spirit being. Jehovah is the governing body.

[@BeroeanPickets]

Your conclusion is wrong. Whether you use Jehovah, Yahweh, or YHWH, there is one supreme being.

[@mosehaydid4736]

@@BeroeanPickets I failed to clarify in my comment. The governing body claims that the spiritual food, that it provides to Jehovah’s Witnesses, is from Jehovah. However, that spiritual food actually comes from the governing body, not some supreme spirit being in the heavens. That is why I have concluded that Jehovah is the governing body. Jehovah’s Witnesses are following men, not God.

[@joanferguson4194]

I totally agree. The officials in charge of the religion have very cleverly blurred the distinction between Jehovah as Supreme Being and the GB as mere followers. To question the GB automatically draws their censure and condemnation because they’ve inserted themselves as the supreme authority. How else to interpret their announcement sometime in the early ‘80’s that people have to come through them to approach the Father in direct contradiction of Jesus’s own words at John 14:6 and the emphatic statements of apostle Paul at 1 Timothy:5,6.

[@gregelliott3556]

Yes, it's interesting that the elders always jump to the conclusion that you have been listening to apostates. Back in 2010, the overlapping generation teaching caused me to start questioning things so I researched the organization by looking at their own publications. I had not at that point listened to any so called apostates. But the elders jumped to the conclusion that I was being influenced by an external source. I told NO it's internal. I determined just by looking at the Watchtowers own publications that there is no way that Jesus would have selected the Watchtower Organization to be the one true religion in 1919 because of what they were teaching between 1914 and 1919 when Jesus supposedly was examining religions and selected The Bible Students to be the beginning of the faithful and discreet slave, the one true religion. Their own publications prove that teaching is false.

[@adamh5153]

heavenly father in watchtower parlance is not a relational statement. only the GB are true children of God. He is our Father only in a technical fashion as we are are his creation. in watchtower theology He is our father in the exact same way he is father to a goat or a gnat. So we can see why the sister calling Jehovah her father appears quite meaningless. As you say, It is the org alone they must worship and render sacred service.
