How To Talk To Jehovah's Witness | Unapologetic Episode 19

[@mac63]

What makes a jehovahs witness organization a cult is that, they Baptise you into a organization, not in the name of the father and son and holy spirit, and they force you through, disfellowship and fear guilt, and obligations, to follow there commands, which they call policies, as doctrines, and cherry pick and twist scriptures to do that, add to and take out words in the Bible, to fit there policies and doctrines, I know because I'm a exjw, who's been in mentality, and now is out mentality. By examining the scriptures carefully like the boereans, as well as researching the organization.

[@JonnySeghezzi]

I enjoy these types of topics being a former J-Dub. But, I must offer some criticism. First, it's not 'Jehovah Witness' it's 'Jehovahs Witnesses'. Second, we were trained to absolutely shut down as soon as you referred to us as a cult. That will end the the conversation and you'll get nowhere. Third, if one comes to your door to spread their beliefs, you WILL NOT get anywhere arguing scripture or traditional Christian beliefs. If they feel they've been bested through history or theology, again they'll shut down. You'll be placed on a do not call list and they won't come back. The only Jehovahs Witnesses you'll get a point across to are those who already have question and one foot out the door. The pioneers and door knockers are not your target audience.

Jehovahs witnesses!???

[@MrMore470]

"Bested by history or theology...you'll be placed on a do not call list".... Seriously? In 20 years as a JW I have never seen this occur. But absolutely, we are not out there trying to force anyone to believe anything. We just share what we believe, If someone is not interested we respect that and move on. No big deal. You're making it way more dramatic than it needs to be.

[@RudolfSuter-or4rw]

I tell them in a friendly way that I have been an Atheist and will remain so until my End and there is nothing to budge me, that puts me usually on their ' Do not Call again' list, and out of the Door they go, this works with JW, Scientologists and all others.

It’s funny, he assumes that the conclusions that the Catholic Church came to are the true Christian beliefs. This is the problem with bias

[@icarojose6316]

If by Catholic Church you mean in the way it was before Christianity was legalized in the Roman Empire, where Katholikos meant Universal in greek, and so the Catholic Church or the Universal Church was all the christians churches all around the countries Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Europe, etc. If so when they all agreed that Arianism was a heresy is true is because it is what makes more sense from the scriptures and from what early christians believed. The fact that JW need to translate the bible in their own way to proof their theology is enough evidence that their are wrong, this is the principe Occam’s razor into logical thinking.

[@icarojose6316]

And by corrupting the scripting I meant the fact that they understand the Father calling Jesus his first born is a proof that Jesus was the first thing he created, even though God calls David the first born too, besides him not being not even the first king of Israel (Saloman came first), imagine the first son of his father (he was the youngest of 8), being the first born is a title of authority, is not about being actually the first one created. And to proof their idea of first born they have to add 4 times the word « others» in the book of Hebrews to say that through Jesus all « other » things were created, since they thought Jesus was created too. So this is why the Catholic Church and all other Churches that disagree with this heresy are right and JW are wrong. But fear not, I’m pretty sure Jesus Christ still save people who accepts him and puts his faith in him to wash his sin.

That was really informative. I accepted Christ as my Savior in 1971. I am so thankful for the hope I have in Christ. “He who knew no sin became sin for us so that we can become the righteousness of God”. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. I don’t try to talk to Jehovahs Witness because I know they are ruthless in the handling of Scripture. I also know how hard they are to reach. I also know the price tag if they talked to you. What I do is quote acts 16:31. “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved”. I told them that my salvation is secure. Why would I want to trade for what they have to offer. Then I wish them a good day and say goodbye. Chuck Swindoll talked about not trying to talk to someone in a cult unless you have the training to do so. I think that is good advice. Me being polite, quoting Acts 16;31 and telling them what more could I possibly need than this and then politely saying goodbye without letting them answer is my way doing that. If you have to let them answer I would do as Chuck Swindoll suggested and politely not answer at all

About the "Cross', I have a very old King James Bible and in it, it says "Stake" instead of Cross, . Also in this KJ Bible, it says that hell is the grave, not a lake of fire, but "the grave". I'm not a witness or anything, just thought I'd share that.

The word Hell actually replaces 5 (I think - just going from my bad memory) words in the Bible. Hades (Greek / NT) was one of them yes but the Hebrew (OT) term Sheol (grave or pit) is what you are mentioning.

The NKJV is the only version recomended by Greeks for English speakers. It says cross. The JW's want us to choose the 8 men, who have never studied Greek, instead of the Greeks who say JESUS was cruxified on a cross. Incidentaly, the Greek church has analyzed the NWT and call it a horrible translation of thier language. The New Testament and Gospels were written in Greek.

Iam reading a book I found in our community book box. It is KEEP YOURSELF IN GOD'S LOVE and yes, I know WHO wrote it. But I use a NKJV Bible and there IS some good Biblical references that can apply to people of any religion. I think that's why my aunts were never able to convert me; I would NEVER use their bible, the NWT. They'll tell ya, "oh it doesn't matter which Bible translation you use BUT WE recommend the NWT". So I'd say, "then I can use any Bible I want". And their bible IS different. Recently they even removed verses, almost complete chapters out of John. There ain't no way I'm reading that book!

[@MrMore470]

Do you have an example of these removed verses, "almost complete chapters of John'? The reason I ask is we have the KJV, ASV, interlinear, Rotherham a Byington bibles right beside the NWT on our app. We compare verses constantly, I have not found anything to be missing... Sure the bible you were using was intact?

[@kiwihans100]

Are you not underestimating people's intelligence? Why should you be the person to 'tell people, what to say to the JW's e.t.c" I had them call on me and said "Thank you for coming to my home on this cold morning! " and I thanked them for making the effort to call on me! I have never in 36 years of living in this road ever had a catholic or protestant bother to call at my home to preach to me! So JW's 'bring it on'. I am an adult and have enough common sense to know what to say to callers at my home, thank you!

The celebration of Dec 25th is not a lie, it's never been promoted as an exact time of Christ's birth. It was day taken from pagans, no one remembers what was originally celebrated on that day, so a win win, but to say Christians believe in a lie(S) is a vague comment.

It was in the 4th century that the Date was used for the birth of christ even though know one knows his exact date and there is know where in Scripture that asks his true followers to do, and it was NOT in the winter time because the shepherd were still outdoors.

Yehovah, or more commonly Jehovah, is a combination of the vowels of the Hebrew word for God, namely “Eloah”, specifically e-o-a, and the four Hebrew consonants of God’s actual name Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey, transliterated into English as Y-H-W-H, artificially combined for the purpose of reminding the reader(s) in the synagogue not to pronounce the name, but say, “Adonai,” instead. Therefore, Jehovah is a composite, a name of fabrication, a concoction, which was never revealed by the God of the Bible, and not until the 17th century did this name exist in the English version of the Bible. The name of Iehovah, which later became Jehovah, was placed in the Bible by the auspices of men in high places within the Roman Catholic Church. This was done in ignorance due to the fact that the Catholic scholars, at the time, did not know of the practice by the Jews to place vowel points from other words, such as Eloah or Elohim onto the Tetragrammaton (four letters of God’s name) to remind the reader not to attempt to pronounce God’s actual name. Yehovah, Iehovah, or Jehovah was propagated since the 13th century (Iehova), and by the 17th century, it transformed into Jehovah. Iehova can be traced back to a 13th century Spanish Dominican monk/scholar, who went by the name Raymundus Martini. He wrote this erroneous name Iehova in his book called “Pugio Fidei” around 1270 AD after he saw in the Hebrew Scriptures the vowel points placed onto the Tetragrammaton (four Hebrew Consonants that are in God’s actual name YHWH), and this despite every Hebrew word was written with consonants only, in other words, no vowels in Hebrew words. The hybrid name Iehovah was propagated by the high-ranking Petrus Galatinus, his Latin name, confessor to Pope Leo X. He used the name Iehovah for the name of God in his book called: “De Arcanis Catholicae Veriatatis,” written in the year of 1518 AD. Again, this erroneous name, “Iehovah,” is from the combining of the Hebrew letters in God’s actual name with the vowels of Eloah, a Hebrew word for God. Again, due to the ignorance of these Catholic scholars of the Jewish practice of adding vowels from other words, for example, Eloah or Elohim, onto the Tetragrammaton, to remind the reader not to say the name of God. This was done by the Jews so that the Gentiles would not know the true name of God. The Jews started this practice in the Middle Ages, or the Dark Ages, in other words in Medieval Times possibly starting the practice circa 1100 AD. Those that support the name Yehovah or Jehovah base their support evidence on that period of time known as the Middle Ages. The vowel points of Adonai added to the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) would produce the hybrid name of “YaHoWaiH, and the vowel points of Elohim would produce Yehovih (see Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew Bible Words, #3069, p. 509, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2001). Yehovah came from the vowels points of Eloah (meaning God, singular) producing this hybrid name (see Strong’s # 3068, p. 509). Jewish scholars admit to the Practice: “In the Early Middle Ages, when consonantal text of the Bible was supplied with vowel points to facilitate its correct traditional reading, the vowel points for Adonai with one variation - a sheva (short ‘e’ sound) with the first yod [Y] of YHWH instead of the hataf-patah (short ‘a’ sound) under the aleph of Adonai - was used for YHWH, thus producing the form YeHoWaH. When the Christian scholars of Europe first began to study Hebrew they did not understand what this really meant, and they introduced the hybrid name ‘Jehovah’” (Encyclopaedia Judaica, vol. 7, p. 680). These Profanations causing substitutions of God's actual name were done to hide the name of God from the Gentiles, as the Jews were fearful of them profaning the true name of God.

IF JESUS IS GOD WHY THEN DID HE SAY AT MARK 10 verse 18 , WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD, NOBODY GOOD BUT ONE, THAT IS GOD? Does that sound to you like Jesus is God? IF JESUS IS GOD, WHO THEN WAS IT WHO SAID, MY GOD MY GOD WHY HAS THOU FORSAKEN ME AND WHO WAS HE TALKING TO, HIMSELF? IF GOD IS A TRINITY, WHY DID 1 CORINTHIANS 11 verse 3 say ,THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN IS CHRIST, THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN IS THE MAN, AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD? IF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON, WHO IS HE THE HEAD OF? AND WHY DIDN'T JESUS TELL THE PHARASEES HE HAS THREE WITNESSES AT John 8 verse 15 to 17? He told them he had two witnesses, the father is one witness, and he is another. IF JESUS IS GOD, how come he never give God any commands, he only receives commands from God? In Matthew 28 verse 18 God rewarded Jesus for faithfully carrying out the RANSOM SACRIFICE he gave him a name about all other names and gave him all authority in Heaven and on earth, well here is the SIMPLE LOGIC, if someone gives you something, OBVIOUSLY YOU DID NOT HAVE IT BEFORE IT WAS GIVEN TO YOU? IF JESUS IS GOD, WHY DIDN'T HE JUST HAVE ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY ALL THE TIME.? .....Now can you please explain 1 Corinthians 15 verse 27 and 28 to the people you are misleading? Anyone who read Daniel 12 verse 1 and 2 and compare it with John 5 verse 27 and 28 MUST conclude that both accounts are speaking of the same event and the same person MICHAEL IS JESUS. If MICHAEL is not JESUS, how then did he get the book? Revelations 5 verse 1 to 5 says, NO ONE IN HEAVEN OR ON THE EARTH IS WORTHY TO OPEN THE BOOK OR EVEN LOOK ON IT BUT JESUS. SO if MICHAEL is not JESUS, how did he get the book? Don't you know that MANY ARE CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN? MATTHEW 22 verse 14?.....Don't you know that those chosen few are joint heirs with Christ? Do you know what an heir is? Someone waiting to take up ownership or rulership.......Don't you know that REVERLATIONS 14 verse 1 to 5 speak of those 144,000 who are going to Heaven, and verse 6 speak of THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL FOR THOSE WHO DWELL UPON THE EARTH?......... Don't you know that REVERLATIONS 5 verse 9 and 10, tells you what those chosen few who are going to Heaven will do? THEY WILL BE MADE KINGS AND PRIESTS AND THEY SHALL RULE OVER THE EARTH? IF they are going to rule over the earth, isn't it obvious that there have to be people on earth for them to rule over? Matthew 5 verse 5 ? Psalms 37 verse 11, and 29?

You forgot to read this: "Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. *DO NOT MOVE AROUND FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE."* (Luke 10:7) What Jesus prescribed was to work on a town-to-town and villiage-to-villiage basis rather than door to door, _only_ entering someone's house when they were first considered "worthy": "Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave." (Matthew 10:11) This makes _perfect_ sense because anyone who has knocked on doors knows how irritated people can be when you intrude on their personal space _uninvited,_ like some annoying door-to-door salesman. I am totally convinced that it actually does more damage than good. It makes God look desparate, and most often puts the people you unexpectely impose on in a defensive mood. That is why JWs have such a bad reputation. Notice also Paul's concern about preaching in areas that have already been covered: "Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand, *so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you.* For we do not want to boast about work *already done in someone else’s territory."* The Watchtower seems to shows zero concern that the same patches of threshing floor are being beaten over and over again to the degree that people are getting tired of it. Sure, you might be in other places too and I don't doubt that, but even if those cases we have to ask ourselves whether or not it is the gospel of Christ being preached or a distortion of the gospel? I can absolutly prove that WT theology is false if you want. The problem isn't proving it, the problem is that the WT has cleverly drummed into your heads that you should not listen to anyone who disagrees with them. You shun those who question the theology of the organization, and consider the rest of Christianity to be Bablylon. What a convenient way to enforce confirmation bias! *"How do you understand what is written in Acts 5: 42?"* Thanks for asking. There are actually two places in Acts that the WT uses to justify going from door to door, and if we just glance at the text, it does seems as if Paul is doing just that: "You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly *and from house to house."* (Acts 20:20) And "Day after day, in the temple courts and *from house to house,* they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah." (Acts 5:42) So why did Paul disobey Jesus? The answer is that he didn't! In the following verse we see what "houses" Paul was referring to: "Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread *_in their homes_* and ate together with glad and sincere hearts" (Acts 2:46) Who is Paul referring to when he says "they" and "their homes"? He is referring to the people that the apostles were meeting daily in the temple courts. They were being invited into the homes of believers to eat _after_ the gospel had already been preached to them. Surely, if this was referring to a door-knocking activity that the WT forces you to do then they would have been constantly breaking bread and eating! The resulting obesity would be alarming! As previously mentioned, before Christain churches were built, the apostles had to meet and teach in other locations - in temple courts, and in each other's homes. So there is no reason to believe Paul deviated from anything Jesus told his disciples to do.

[@paulbrennan4163]

"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good-except God alone." (Luke 18:19) If we look at this verse in isolation it seems as if Jesus is denying his diety, but if we look at the previous verse and the rest of this passage it tells a completely different story. First, let's look at verse 18: "A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" (Luke 18:18) Basically, what this man is asking Jesus is what "good" works he had to do in order to be saved. Then the question Jesus asks him is obviously rhetorical - in order to get this guy to realize that he needs a saviour. Why do I say "rhetorical"? Because elsewhere Jesus called himself the "good" shepherd. Was Jesus trying to tell his followers that he was good in a general sense? Or was he abosolutely good - good enough to keep God's moral standard? In any case, Jesus then goes through the commandments giving this guy ample opportunity to justify himself. But then comes the cold shower that devastates him. Jesus tells him that in order to be _perfect_ he needs to give up everything he owns and give it to the poor. This even astonishes Jesus disciples who then ask him "who then can be saved?" What Jesus points out is that for a man to have the ability to keep God's moral standard is _IMPOSSIBLE_ - it is only God who can do this: Jesus replied, "What is impossible with man is possible with God." Jesus said that to honor him was to honor the father. He said that anyyone who has seen him has seen the Father. Scripture says that Jesus is the exact representation of God's being. Saying that Jesus isn't good is saying that the father is not good.

o all of your colleague ex-Witnesses: The Christian Church was founded by Jesus Christ on the day of Pentecost (50 days after His Resurrection) when the Holy Spirit entered the Apostles and gave them the power to speak in tongues (not gibberish but in a way that is understood by all who listened to them). That Church has continued undergoing all kinds of trials and tribulations right through to this day unchanged and untarnished by heresies and erroneous proclamations. Priests who are Jews and now Christians testify to the fact that the Eastern Orthodox Church is the logical and true post-Messianic continuance of the Faith that Christ professed during His incarnated Life on earth. Christ told us that He is the Light, the Way and the Life and that He will be with us always. Does that not give the lie to a church that is 'founded'/'discovered' some eighteen hundred years after His Resurrection? Find the true Church near you and find out more about the Truth. Reply

Jesus christ sent churches including exjws apostate to preach about the Jehovah's witnesses?????????

[@stephenmarlowe3907]

Yehovah, or more commonly Jehovah, is a combination of the vowels of the Hebrew word for God, namely “Eloah”, specifically e-o-a, and the four Hebrew consonants of God’s actual name Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey, transliterated into English as Y-H-W-H, artificially combined for the purpose of reminding the reader(s) in the synagogue not to pronounce the name, but say, “Adonai,” instead. Therefore, Jehovah is a composite, a name of fabrication, a concoction, which was never revealed by the God of the Bible, and not until the 17th century did this name exist in the English version of the Bible. The name of Iehovah, which later became Jehovah, was placed in the Bible by the auspices of men in high places within the Roman Catholic Church. This was done in ignorance due to the fact that the Catholic scholars, at the time, did not know of the practice by the Jews to place vowel points from other words, such as Eloah or Elohim onto the Tetragrammaton (four letters of God’s name) to remind the reader not to attempt to pronounce God’s actual name. Yehovah, Iehovah, or Jehovah was propagated since the 13th century (Iehova), and by the 17th century, it transformed into Jehovah. Iehova can be traced back to a 13th century Spanish Dominican monk/scholar, who went by the name Raymundus Martini. He wrote this erroneous name Iehova in his book called “Pugio Fidei” around 1270 AD after he saw in the Hebrew Scriptures the vowel points placed onto the Tetragrammaton (four Hebrew Consonants that are in God’s actual name YHWH), and this despite every Hebrew word was written with consonants only, in other words, no vowels in Hebrew words. The hybrid name Iehovah was propagated by the high-ranking Petrus Galatinus, his Latin name, confessor to Pope Leo X. He used the name Iehovah for the name of God in his book called: “De Arcanis Catholicae Veriatatis,” written in the year of 1518 AD. Again, this erroneous name, “Iehovah,” is from the combining of the Hebrew letters in God’s actual name with the vowels of Eloah, a Hebrew word for God. Again, due to the ignorance of these Catholic scholars of the Jewish practice of adding vowels from other words, for example, Eloah or Elohim, onto the Tetragrammaton, to remind the reader not to say the name of God. This was done by the Jews so that the Gentiles would not know the true name of God. The Jews started this practice in the Middle Ages, or the Dark Ages, in other words in Medieval Times possibly starting the practice circa 1100 AD. Those that support the name Yehovah or Jehovah base their support evidence on that period of time known as the Middle Ages. The vowel points of Adonai added to the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) would produce the hybrid name of “YaHoWaiH, and the vowel points of Elohim would produce Yehovih (see Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew Bible Words, #3069, p. 509, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2001). Yehovah came from the vowels points of Eloah (meaning God, singular) producing this hybrid name (see Strong’s # 3068, p. 509). Jewish scholars admit to the Practice: “In the Early Middle Ages, when consonantal text of the Bible was supplied with vowel points to facilitate its correct traditional reading, the vowel points for Adonai with one variation - a sheva (short ‘e’ sound) with the first yod [Y] of YHWH instead of the hataf-patah (short ‘a’ sound) under the aleph of Adonai - was used for YHWH, thus producing the form YeHoWaH. When the Christian scholars of Europe first began to study Hebrew they did not understand what this really meant, and they introduced the hybrid name ‘Jehovah’” (Encyclopaedia Judaica, vol. 7, p. 680). These Profanations causing substitutions of God's actual name were done to hide the name of God from the Gentiles, as the Jews were fearful of them profaning the true name of God.

The Trinity doctrine denies that Jesus was a real human person. The Trinity will claim he had a human nature and that this human nature died, but not his person. The God part of Jesus was his Person, one of 3 of God. But this denies that Jesus was a genuine human being because we are all persons. A non-person human belief about Jesus is anti-Christ because Christ is God's Messiah and had to be a real person. "15“The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers-it is to him you shall listen- 16just as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ 17And the LORD said to me, ‘They are right in what they have spoken. 18I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers.

You have to keep in mind he's has full deity inside him, when jesus died and was resurrected his human body remained.

The content of the message includes information about the people's return from Babylon, God's protective presence among them, and the future restoration of Jerusalem. Zechariah serves as the human recipient of these divine messages and is tasked with sharing them with the people. Also, the citation of God ends at "will plunder them." The words you have put in bold refers to the angel.

Translators’ choices mean that no two read alike. In order to assess the reliability of the translators’ work, Jason BeDuhn, associate professor of religious studies at Northern Arizona University, in Flagstaff, Arizona, U.S.A., examined and compared for accuracy eight major translations, including the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, published by Jehovah’s Witnesses. The result? While critical of some of its translation choices, BeDuhn called the New World Translation a “remarkably good” translation, “better by far” and “consistently better” than some of the others considered. Overall, concluded BeDuhn, the New World Translation “is one of the most accurate English translations of the New Testament currently available” and “the most accurate of the translations compared.”​-Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of the

JWs bible is biased to their own theology. Proof? Proskuneō occurs 60 times in the Greek Scriptures. *Of the 17 times it applies to Jesus,* all 17 occurrences were translated by the New World Translation as obeisance. (In the 2013 revision, 2 of these times have been changed to "bow".) The only other instance where prokuneō is translated as 'obeisance' is when Cornelius bows to Peter. (Worship would be correct here as well. Peter interprets this act as a form of worship, as he rejects it immediately.) *Of the remaining 42 times proskuneō appears,* it is always translated as worship, regardless of whether it is referring to God, their Jehovah, angels, humans, Satan, demons, the wild beast and its image, or idols. Admittedly, the word “obeisance” could be used on occasions to translate proskuneo. The problem is that Jehovah’s Witnesses make an arbitrary distinction between obeisance and worship when it comes to the token of reverence that Jesus in particular was given. They translate proskuneo as “obeisance” every time Jesus is the object, yet never when God the Father is the recipient of honor and praise.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life." Which honestly is more to Jesus's style of showing actions rather than saying what he's going to do. And not to be mean, but Jesus didn't say or write that in Ecclesiastes (outside of inspired by God aspect). The author of Ecclesiastes isn't fully named (probably a very old Solomon), but it was a child of David at that current moment in time, not in the long-term lineage aspect. Especially prevalent given the amount of the info is a reflection on the current situation and not typically pointing to the future like most Old Testament verses about Jesus.

A subset is something that is part of a group. Since all Christians believe in the Trinity, there is no subset.

I have mormons in my neighborhood. I just wanna know why they need the book of mormon when the holy bible should be enough.

[@isaiahcoleman7827]

They believe their book is more correct than the Bible, to teach people about Jesus Christ, there is no greater book than the Bible, they are not the only ones who have said the Bible have mistakes in it, and if you listen to that stuff a person may start to accept what the say as the truth and it couldn't be, but they have a right to believe like many others according to their heart.

[@curtisowen3233]

That is not the definition of a cult... at all. Jesus had a small cult. Just 12 main members.

[@wylolister3218]

*ONLY JWs can study the Bible* and come to the conclusion that their top 8 elders (Kenneth Cook, Samuel F. Herd, Geoffrey Jackson, Mark Stephen Lett, Gerrit Losch, Anthony Morris III, Mark Sanderson, David H. Splane) are the "faithful & wise slave" that Jesus mentioned in the 2,000+ year old Bible. That this "entity", someone from the Bible lives here today in 2022 in modern day Warwick, New York at JWs headquarters and that they (average JWs) "need to obey" them. JWs believe this. LOL Yes, JWs are a cult! "We *need to obey* the faithful and discreet slave to have Jehovah’s approval." Watchtower 2011 Jul 15 page24 Simplified English Edition "At that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. *All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."* - Watchtower 2013 Nov 15 p.20 The only thing missing now is the koolaid! Actually, JWs didn't study the Bible and decide that their top elders are who Jesus mentioned in Matthew. Their top elders told average JWs that "they" were Jesus' faithful & wise slave. Average JWs just accepted what these 8 men said. Accepted, never voted on, never discussed, never questioned, just accepted. Yes, JWs are a cult!

[@eduardomarcelino1980]

In the congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses they practice rejecting the blood and body of Christ in the Lord's Supper!

[@eduardomarcelino1980]

"STOP, LOOK, LISTEN: Luke 8:17 "For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor is there anything carefully hidden that will never become known and never come to light." it is part of the new covenant that Jesus made with his disciples to eat the bread that represents his body and drink the wine that represents his blood, how will you have eternal life? (Luke 22:19,20). doctrine of men or the word of GOD?" observe (John ch 3:16,17) 16-“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever exercises faith in him may not be destroyed but have eternal life. 17-For God did not send his Son into the world that he might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him." observe (John ch 6:53-57) 53- So Jesus said to them, "I say- to you with all certainty: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 - He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I do. I will rise again at the last day, 55- for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56- Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. Just as the Father who lives sent me and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me. the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". notice what Jesus said: Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because they close the kingdom of heaven to men; for you yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are on their way to enter." look at the Conclusion of Jesus (John ch 10: 09,10) 9- I am the door; whoever enters by me will be saved, and will enter and he shall go out, and find pasture.” 10- A thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

[@eduardomarcelino1980]

the only problem for Jehovah's Witnesses is not to take as an example what Jesus instituted in their memory, which was to eat and drink the emblems in the Lord's Supper! for it is one baptism and one hope of eternal life. Ephesians 4: 4-6 note 4- There is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in a hope to which you were called; 5- one Lord, one faith and one baptism; 6- God, unique and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all.

[@cdmcintyre1854]

I’m open to calm discussion with anyone about their religious beliefs but I don’t judge or ridicule what they say I might or might not agree with it. The one thing I have the biggest question is the commandment about the Sabbath (7th Day Saturday) and the Catholic admission that the Catholics changed Gods Seventh Day to Sunday (1st Day). This makes me VERY WARY of anything Catholic (including Sunday Worship). So why do MOST Protestant Churches worship on the sabbath of the Pope & Catholic Church when Protestant means protesting the Catholic Worship System????

[@Episcopalianacolyte]

Since the Bible is the only authority for protestants. The answer to why we worship on Sunday comes from the Bible. 1. There is no example in the New Testament, incuding in Acts, that Christians observed the Old Testament Sabbath. 2. Acts 2 says the Christians met to break bread every day. This refers to Mathew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22, John 6, 1st Corinthians 10 and 11. 3. This breaking of bread was not simply a common meal for those are forbidden for the church during worship. The church came together for communion. 4. St. Paul said "if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgement (1st Corinthians 11 : 34). Acts 20 and 1st Corinthians 7 says the church worshipped on the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. 5. The Sabbath also was a shadow things to come that are in CHRIST (Colossians 2: 16 and 17). 6. We are a New Creation in CHRIST because of His death, burial and resurrection. We are not Moses.

[@cdmcintyre1854]

@@ucanliv4ever The Ten Commandments are NOT the Mosaic Law, if they are then the Ten Commandments do not apply so we can do whatever we please as long as we obey secular laws. So does that mean we can ignore the Ten Commandments? According to the Catholic Church they Changed the Sabbath not God. Just ask the Church when the Sabbath was changed and who changed it and why!

King James version mentions the word Easter at Acts12:4. Easter is a pagan holiday festival that goes back to the ancient Babylonians and ancient Canaanites. The ancient Canaanites worshipped a pagan goddess called Ashtoreth. The ancient Babylonians worshipped a fertility goddess called Ishtar or Beltis. The ancient Greeks adopted the pagan festival and they called it Eoster. The ancient Romans adopted the pagan holiday or festival and they called it Astarte. In the 17th Century the Protestant Churches adopted the pagan holiday or festival and they called it Easter. Easter is a fertility goddess. The Easter Bunny and the Easter Eggs represent fertility gods. The original Greek word for PassOver is Pasch.
