Inside the World of Jehovah's Witnesses

Jehovah's Witnesses have a long history of being persecuted around the world. Their activities are banned or restricted in several countries. They are considered an extremist organization in Russia, while their members are imprisoned in South Korea and Eritrea. Even near their main headquarters and publishing house in New York state, Jehovah's Witnesses lead a somewhat secluded life. VOA's Anush Avetisyan has the story.

@Lexi-Marie Buck disfellowshipped telling lies. Is that the same with members about OTHER religions like Catholicism and non-Catholic groups who came out of their churches because their priests are pedophiles MUCH as some of your elders and members are pedophiles too? I guess that "lie" applies to OTHER groups since your group has perfect members, no? I guess others who came out of your religious Babylon disagree. www.silentlambs.org I'm not an Atheist, I'm Messianic and I believe in YAHOVAH and Yeshua His Son, but you see, even Yeshua didn't cover up and tolerated the SINS & CORRUPTION of the existing religion of His Day, and the Temple He usually went on to read every Sabbath (NOT PAGAN Sunday Luke 4:16) when He sees something wrong in them. They were HIS OWN PEOPLE (John 1:11) but they did not like Him because He CONFRONTED them and EXPOSED them for their sins, especially the corruption of their own priests and you can read how He denounced the pharisees on Matthew 23 by calling them FOOLS! SNAKES! and Brood of Vipers. They were HIS own people in the religion HIS own family grew up with. Not a pagan belief, not the religion of the Romans or Babylonians, but The Jewish faith. Still, He didn't turned a blind eye to their corruption UNLIKE your Society who discourages their abused members NOT to go to the police for help whenever they've suffered SEXUAL abuse from the hands of other members OR elders. And this is what you call a LIE? The "lies" of members that your elders like modern day pharisees, have abused? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ21eZSFZd5nqNE You are NO different from the pharisees who called Yeshua OR Jesus before a DECEIVER for telling the painful TRUTH about them. (Matthew 27:63) I remember a time when I knew a JW elder once here in the Philippines who told Me to keep My mouth shut and to "pretend to be blind" if I see atrocities in the society. Not surprising why I refused to be part of that religion because of their twisted sense of justice and I have a strong sense of justice as one who was once abused by a Catholic priest. How would you feel if YOU have experienced abuse by your own elders like us? 😊 There are good people among JW's no doubt, as there are good in EVERY religion including Buddhism, but this doesn't deny the fact that most of them are hiding skeletons in their closets. You hypocrites. Learn to clean up your own mess before cleaning others. ---------------- Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet, AND SHOW MY PEOPLE their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

Aaron Cooper And what makes you believe that they are a cult? Because all cults have 3 things in common. But before I tell you what they are, I will let you know that my mom and sister are part of that religion. And me myself, am ok with that religion. Although, yet to this day I refuse to get fully involved with them because of my own personal reasons. Anyhow, these are what all cults have in common. 1. A leader that calls “All” the shots, and tricks his/hers followers into believing he/she has some kind of power. Or that he/she is god, or has a very strong connection to god. 2. A cult forces there followers into Isolation. Making them all stay in one place, close to the leader of the cult. Also they don’t allow there new followers to Socialize with anybody who is not part of the cult. 3. A cult gets there followers to give up all there money to the cult, or to have the follower give them a very high percentage of what they makes. Now all of these 3 examples don’t have anything to do with the Jehovah Witnesses. (1) They don’t have a leader, and there is no one claiming they are god, or speak to god directly. (2) All the followers have there freedom and are not Isolated. They can work whatever job they want, and they can talk with who ever they want. You probably walk pass a member today but didn’t notice because the act and look like everybody else. (3) No one is taking there money, they have the choice to donate money. Me for one, never donated money, and no one has ever asked me to. You probably wouldn’t even know where to donate unless you were looking for the donate box.

[@jwhistorymadeeasy3998]

Nice Guy you are actually redefining a cult in order to avoid admitting that Jehovah’s Witnesses are in fact a cult. A personality cult like Jehovah’s Witnesses doesn’t have one leader that calls the shots but rather a group of leaders that calls the shots and makes extraordinary claims for themselves. The governing body who are in fact the leaders of Jehovah’s Witnesses do make extraordinary claims for themselves. They claim that in 1919 God chose them as his soul channel of communication with humanity. Jehovah’s Witnesses do in fact socially isolate their members from the outside world and repeatedly tell them not to have unnecessary contact with outside members and not to form friendships with non-witnesses. Not all cults go into isolation nor do they require all of their members to be in the same place. Look at Scientology or the Monies or the worldwide Church of God or in this case Jehovah’s Witnesses. The goal is to isolate them from outside influences and to limit their contact with nonmembers to avoid exposing them to potential information that could sway their thinking. Jehovah’s Witnesses cannot actually have any job they want as there are several jobs that involve interactions with other religious denominations and thus they are precluded from having those positions as well as any position that would put them in contact with the military. The idea that a cult has to take peoples money in order to be defined as a cult is simply false. The goal of the leadership could be money power authority or the leadership may simply be delusional and actually believe what they’re teaching but monetary acquisition is not a prerequisite of a cult. Jehovah’s Witnesses are a cult. They use shunning or disfellowshipping as they call it to keep people from leaving the organization and to keep them enslaved. A Jehovah’s Witness who raises objections to some of the teachings or policies of the organization will be branded and apostate and they will be slandered and their friends and family will be told to cut ties with them. Any organization that punishes you with predatory isolation and family estrangement for questioning what they teach is a cult.

If I never got a blood transfusion I would’ve never had a spinal fusion at 16 by my corrupt and evil doctor. My parents are extreme sinners and divorced. They’ve ruined my childhood and life by being addicted to drugs, greed, gluttony. I have to live with my mother until I can get the rods removed, as they’ve caused me extreme pain. But she constantly blames me for the surgery and wasting her money. All I want is a family to just eat and talk to that aren’t sinners. I feel the world is so corrupt, I need to find like minded individuals. I agree with not celebrating many gluttonous and harmful holidays such as Christmas and birthdays. Just makes sense, every day is a holiday and gift from god, why must we bring pride and attention to ourselves so much. I like that they don’t support war either, jw just makes so much sense to me.

Polite is one thing, however they have a strict shunning policy of former baptised members if those members choose not to return to the religion.

If we remain loyal to God and to the congregation by not speaking to the disfellowshipped person, the wrongdoer may in time take a lesson from that, repent and be reinstated in the congregation.

@@justmadeit2 You also have policies of strict shunning. Take for instance membership in a private club. The club has its rules and requirements. If a member refuses to follow those rules and requirements, the club will oftentimes "disfellowship" or revoke their membership from the club. That person will also not be reinstated as a member in good standing of that club until they learn and agree to follow the rules. The same applies to society in general. If a person commits a serious crime such as theft, fraud or an act of violence, they are thrown into a 6ft. by 6ft. cell and not permitted visitors and normal association for what can amount to several years or more. Why are they shunned this way? Because society is trying to correct their conduct. The same principle applies!

I'm still learning about the Religion but so far from what I've observed they're very normal people who are very misunderstood and theres a lot of false accusations made about JW so before you believe any gossip or news you shouldn't judge a book by its cover and do your own personal investigation if you're genuinely curious...that's what I've done. They never pressured me in anyway and you can ask a million questions and they'll respectfully and patiently answer you. Do your research and they encourage that. I admire there dedicated research and I love how seriously they take the word of God and want to share it. If theres good news, it's meant to be shared.

Jesus Christ calls Himself the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end . You will find that in Revelation chapters 1,21,22 and oddly enough Jehovah of the old testament calls himself the very same. You need to be born again ,why? look up Gen 5:1-3 and see what we are created in the image of. Do some serious research on the Jehovah's witnesses as a group and see why the mainline churches do not include them as anything other than a cult of Christianity. Catholics have a problem with priests who molest children , find out how the JW's address sexual abuse in the church. It will open your eyes . May the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ be on you and I pray the Holy Spirit will guide you into truth. Understanding or believing in the trinity is a non event , what counts is the relationship between you and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The proper way to say "jehovah" is to break it down into seven syllables and bray like a donkey. Jehovah represents the summer solstice in the constellation Cancer.

The Jerusalem of the handmaid/slave is the winter solstice. Paul reminds us in Galatians 4 that Abraham, his two wives, two sons, and the two Jerusalems are ALLEGORICAL.

jj.93 Run! Run far away! I left at 38 years old and lost all my family and friends because they’re JWs. The JWs frown upon relationships with outsiders who they call “worldly”. Thus all your friends end up being JWs and when you leave they’ll stop taking to you because you become worst than a “worldly” person. Another thing, the Watchtower Organization will take up all your time with many activities designed to keep you inside and when you leave you’ll see that you’ve spent years working for free for the advancement of the organization and you have nothing. No skills, no training, no nothing. It’s basically indentured servitude. Run away or pay the price your choice.

Jace Johnson It sounds really nice when you put it that way, but is not true isn’t? People don’t leave because of having a bad heart, no one can read hearts but Jehovah God. Many people leave because they find their trust is betrayed by the watchtower organization. A person should be realistic about the ability of the Watchtower Witness Organization to interpret the Scriptures. To date there has been a proven time prophecy failure rate of 100%. The Watchtower Witness Organization used Bible prophecy to explain that the following dates were of significance: 1780, 1799, 1829, 1844, 1846, 1872, 1874, 1875, 1878, 1880, 1881, 1891, 1906, 1910, 1915, 1920, 1921, 1925, 1935 and 1975. Every single one of these interpretations is now admitted as wrong. Even 1914, 1918 and 1919 were not fulfilled as expected and subsequently reinterpreted after the event. 1918 now meaningless as is 1935. This does not inspire confidence that Holy Spirit guides Watchtower Witness Organization Bible interpretations, or that current understanding of 1914 is correct.

[@olmeckrav]

Jace Johnson Thank you for replying, but I have to ask are you sure? Are you sure that the 40,000 to 100,000 people who get kicked out of the watchtower organization every year is because they’re doing something wrong? Could it be that many are realizing that the watchtower organization is not from Jehovah God? Could it be that many of them did research outside the watchtower organization authorized sources and found out that the religion is a snare and a racket? Could it be the watchtower organization is rotten on the inside to the point of hiding lists of peadophiles? Could it be that many many children have died for refusing blood transfusions which is not a biblical Christian or loving position? Could it be the men of the governing body are lying? Could it be?

(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.

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.

A JW told me that God's plan was for mankind to take care of a garden. I told him that God's plan before the creation of the world was salvation thru Jesus Christ. God created Satan and put the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden fully aware of what would happen. God is all knowing.

So it is your position that God dangled an everlasting prospect before Adam, that God knew Adam was incapable of realizing? I believe God can know what will happen, but doesn't always have to use that ability. If it was God's will for Adam to sin, then God is complicit with causing sin and death.

[@ifecojahs8151]

No, God's plan was for good to fill the earth, but Satan who was originally good became jealous, and lied against God. God is all powerful, but He only chooses to know what HE WANTS to know, I only watch the KZbin channels I want to watch.

There is no free will. Only God’s will. For example... 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12. Stop being told what to think by man made words and read God’s words.

They pad the attendance numbers at the memorials & the baptism list. There are far fewer than the supposed 8.5 million. Its simply ludicrous . The governing body doesn't give a damn about people. J Nutz are given toxic "spiritual" food and brainwashed. Go read a regular bible NOT printed by the WT. King James is fine. Compare scriptures from it to your demonic led bible and you will see where it was twisted . Jesus is NOT Michael the arch angel.

Food FROM God? JWs "truth"? "Jehovah's Witnesses, in their eagerness for Jesus' second coming, *have suggested dates that turned out to be incorrect."* Awake 1993 Mar 22 page4 *Jehovah’s Witnesses have had wrong expectations about when the end would come.* Jan 1, 2013 Watchtower "Does this admission of making mistakes stamp them [Jehovah's Witnesses] as false prophets? Not at all, for false prophets do not admit to making mistakes." Watchtower, Nov. 1, 1972, page 644 - in brackets added Admitting to making false prophecies doesn't magically change them, they are Bible defined false prophecies (Deut 18:2-0-22) Very poor reasoning, probably why JWs "suggested dates" and went beyond scripture. "suggested dates, wrong expectations" ARE false prophecies. God's channel of communications, his voice on earth, God's mouthpiece, JWs? Nope just a false religion!

@@nenitabalahibo6473 JWs call "jehovah" a "misspelled & mispronounced" name for God, they even call it a "blunder". "Yahweh . .. is admittedly superior to Jehovah. *'The wrong spelling Jehovah* occurs since about 1100' and then it offers its arguments in favor of Yahweh as the correct and original pronunciation." - Let Your Name Be Sanctified, Jehovah's Witnesses, p 16-20 AID TO BIBLE UNDERSTANDING 1971 Watchtower and Bible Tract Society p884-885 - literature elaborates as to its Catholic origin in 1270: By combining the vowel signs of 'Adho.nay and 'Elo.him' with the four consonants of the Tetragrammaton the pronunciations Yeho.wah' and Yehowih' were formed. The first of these provided the basis for the Latinized form "Jehova(h)." The first recorded use of this form dates from the thirteenth century C.E. Raymundus Martini, a Spanish monk of the Dominican Order, used it in his book Pugeo Fidei of the year 1270. *Hebrew scholars generally favor "Yahweh" as the most likely pronunciation.* "jehovah" = misspelled, mispronounced name for God! A false name. The only way to get rid of a false name for God is to quit using it. They have admitted that the use of the name Jehovah was a "blunder." See JWs own Byington Bible in Living English, published by WBTS (1971ish), page 7, on your WT Library CD (this is in the intro so is conveniently been left off the JW dot Org website). (thanks Lee) *"As to the Old Testament name of God, certainly the spelling and pronunciation "Jehovah" were originally a blunder."* God wants his name to be known as a "blunder'? Seriously? JW produced literature calls it wrong, misspelled, mispronounced and a blunder, seriously a "blunder"!!! YOU are making a blunder name known throughout the world, how would God feel about that?

Do you ever get tired of reading scriptures regarding Jesus, and feeling like you constantly have to filter how you think about it?......Constantly having to battle, why some scripture seems to indicate he could be God, and others seem to clearly show, that he is less? Some scripture seems to indicate that we can pray to him, and others not? Some seem to indicate that he alone saves us, and others seem to show that only Jehovah saves? Do you ever get tired of feeling like you constantly have to battle the back and forth? If you want to be freed from this, then please take a moment to read my post. I hope this helps you! - let's think about a few things. #1 - Jesus does not know something that his Father knows.....Jesus cannot be God....? Or can he? #2 - Jesus is the Arm of YHVH per John 12, and Isaiah 53. #3 - Is your arm you, or is it someone else? Is your arm a different guy? #4 - Jesus can do nothing of himself, but what the Father does....Jesus cannot be God if he cannot do anything of himself.....right? #5 - Jesus is the arm of YHVH.....Can your arm do anything of itself? Or do you have to give the commands to your arm?...….Is your arm someone else? Or is it part of you? #6 - Jesus talks to his Father, so he can't be God.....why would he talk to himself?......Jesus can't be God.....or can he? #7 - Jesus is the arm of YHVH. Does your head communicate to your arm? Does your arm respond? Yes. Is God, the head of Jesus?....Yes, that is what the scripture says, that Jesus is the arm of YHVH, and God, is Jesus head...….So, I ask again, Does your head communicate to your arm? Yes......Does your arm communicate to your head?.....yes.....is that proof that each is a separate person?......No. #8 - let's say your name is Joe, and someone stops you on the street, and starts talking to your arm, and says to your arm, Can I see Joe please?...….How would your arm respond?......Probably something like this, If you have seen me, you have seen Joe...….DUH! Wait for this...…..Joes arm...….is Joe...…..I know that's super hard to understand, how someone's arm, can be simply their own self, but maybe try a mirror.....and look at yourself, and remember that God said, he is the head of Jesus, and that Jesus is his arm, and that Jesus said he was one with the Father, and that to see Jesus is to see the Father...… #9 - And lastly....this is my favorite.....Do you know everything your brain knows?.....Nope! Do you know everything your body knows?....Nope! How can you be you, and not know everything ….you know...…. Pretty crazy, that you consider yourself one person, even though you have separate parts, that communicate to each other, and even know things, that you yourself don't know...….. So, how many people are you?...... We all know this...just one. Aside from Jesus, not even one thing was made.....Jesus was not made, because he is the Arm of YHVH,. and YHVH and his arm and spirit are uncreated because he is himself, and only an idiot would argue that his own arm is some other guy, because his arm has to receive communication from the head, and can do nothing of itself...…. When Jesus is in the garden and the soldiers ask him if he is Christ, and he says, I am......the soldiers fall backwards, and anyone that has an actual brain, and thinks for themselves realizes what Jesus meant, when he said, If you have seen me, you have seen the Father..... It's so freeing when you take all of the scripture regarding Jesus, and realize that the only way he can be the creator of all created things, and the lord of all, and have all power and authority in heaven and earth, and be lowly and communicating to God......is if he is the arm of God, and God is his head.....and thankfully that is exactly, and precisely what the scripture says. Jesus is the Image of God's person, and we were made in the image of God.....that is Jesus.
