Jehovah's Witness Teaching Requirement Exposed

#pimo #apologetics #exjw
Jehovah's Witnesses are very big on teaching. So much so, they believe everyone should be taught "What the Bible REALLY says." This teaching extends not just in this life, but in on paradise earth. Is this true, or is it just the leaders playing pretend? I'll show how JW's ripping verses out of context, and shoving their own doctrines into the Bible, all so they can justify indoctrinating the unsuspecting man and woman.

[@SallieB196]

I find it ironic they claim the Catholic Church spoke in Latin and discouraged it’s followers from reading the Bible claiming they tell their followers to blindly follow what the priest says yet can’t see the irony that they can’t see they are doing the same thing that they can’t understand the Bible without their literature. I once heard on TV a former KGB said how they were successful at interrogating is “always accuse your enemy of exactly what you are doing”

You are right. Yet a few,very few JWs who can read in dependently do research on the Internet on a variety of subjects. Comparing spiritual things with spiritual. A few learn Greek, usually classical Greek since they're not allowed to attend educational classes in Christendom. They also read evangelical apologetical books to " test the waters" and see if they can give an answer to evangelical apologists

@joe-bw2ew So true !! Party to Christendom is DfD offence. Unless, of course, some Elder who must give permission get KUDOS for giving permission so the Watchtower Bible and CRAP society can benefit from it. Everything IS "conditional".

Some JW in comments said Apostles were witnesses of Jehovah. That is correct 🙂 but let's check which person❓ Isaiah 43:10 - You are my witnesses [of Jehovah]. Acts 1:8 - *Jesus* said "You will be witnesses of *_me"_* Acts 9:15,16 - *Jesus* said Paul would bear witness of *_his_* name and suffer for his name. Acts 10:43 - All the Prophets were witnesses of *Jesus* Acts 22:15 - Paul told to be witness of *Jesus* Acts 22:18 Jesus tells Paul to be witness of *Jesus* Acts 22:20 - Paul witnessed for *Jesus* Acts 26:16 - Paul appointed to be a witness of *Jesus* Mark 13:9 - you will stand before governors and kings for my sake *[Jesus],* to bear witness before them. John 1:15 - John the Baptist bore witness of *Jesus.* John 5:37 - The Father bore witness of *Jesus.* John 15:26-27 - We are witnesses of *Jesus.* Luke 24:48 - Witnesses of *Jesus.* 2 Timothy 1:8 - give testimony of *Jesus* 1 Cor 1:6 - Apostles gave testimony about *Jesus* 1 John 5:10 - The Father gives Witness about *the Son* Revelation 2:13 - Antipas my faithful witness *[of Jesus]* Rev 12:17 - hold to the testimony of *Jesus* Rev 17:6 - the saints and martyrs are the witnesses of *Jesus*

Great research Tim, I have copied and pasted for future reference. I will attribute all research and wording to you though. It's cracking research and another nail in the coffin of the JW doctrine.

[@timd3895]

@@RowanTasmanian Thank you. No credit needed. Just be ready for their responses. They love to use Rev 3:14 to say Jesus is the true and faithful witness _about the Father_ but the context is so clear he's a witness to their _works._ Just compare these verses. Revelation 3:14-15 ESV "And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: 'The words of the Amen, *the faithful and true witness,* the beginning of God's creation. [15] *_"'I know your works:_* you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! Jeremiah 42:5 ESV Then they said to Jeremiah, *"May the LORD be a true and faithful witness* against us *_if we do not act_* according to all the word with which the LORD your God sends you to us. We turn it right around on them 🙂 (1) shows the society is misinterpreting (2) Jesus is fulfilling the role of the LORD. Can you imagine that, in their top 3 favorite verse! 🙏

@@timd3895 Tim, this is extremely good work. I have the same philosophy. Here something I wrote tonight in relation to DC3 1914 remarks against the late formulation of the Nicean Creed. QUOTE: "DC3PO carries on about the formulation of the Nicean Creed. It would be interesting to ask that same individual were ALL the doctrines invented by the Watchtower FORMULATED at the beginning of their religion in the 1870s or have they only formulated doctrines many many years after their founding. 1) Blood Transfusions were not formulated in the 1870s, but many years later. 2)Shunning was not formulated in the 1870s, but many years later. 3) Not Worshipping Christ was not formulated in the 1870s, but 1954. 4) Michael the Archangel was not formulated in the 1870s, but many may years later. 5) The GB was not formulated in the 1870s, it was formulated in the 1970s 6) The name Jehovah Witnesses was not formulated in the 1870s, but 1932. etc etc etc etc. DC3PO accuses historic Christianity of formulating doctrines many years after its founding, The JWs do it on steroids and they offer an excuse, it's called "New Light". If we were to take their most important doctrine of the Governing Body, if you had to put it on a scale as long as that of Historic Christianity, The Governing Body doctrine was not formulated until approx. 1333 AD. So our Nicean Creed looks pretty good in percentage terms compared to their Governing Body Doctrine." Thanks again Tim. Great apologetics.

Hey can you make a new video talking about how “baptism isn’t the only way to be saved”? For example, there’s a scripture where Paul said “Christ didn’t send me to baptize but to spread the good News” 1 Corinthians 1:7. Now, I’m not telling people to NOT get baptized because that’s wrong (and their personal choice). But I do like your videos because their shorter & easy to get to the point. And plus, there’s a whole lot of other scriptures talking about “baptism vs Faith” but there’s too many that I forgot 😂. (Like one of the Criminals that was hanging next to Jesus-he was saved because he changed his mind and started to believe in Him, even tho it was at the Last minute❤️‍🔥). A lot of people don’t talk about THIS topic too much and I think this specific topic should be more upfront nowadays🔥✊🏾

[@STROND]

Still using the pagan cross I see. At least the JW's got the basics right: Here ys go, from the New Testament Greek Lexicon stow-ro'-o Verb NAS Word Usage - Total: 46 to stake, drive down stakes to fortify with driven stakes, to palisade And the very accurate NWT footnote: stau·rosʹ here meant a cross such as the pagans used as a religious symbol for many centuries before Christ. In the classical Greek the word stau·rosʹ meant merely an upright stake, or pale, or a pile such as is used for a foundation. The verb stau·roʹo meant to fence with pales, to form a stockade, or palisade. The inspired writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures wrote in the common (koi·neʹ) Greek and used the word stau·rosʹ to mean the same thing as in the classical Greek, namely, a simple stake, or pale, without a crossbeam of any kind at any angle. There is no proof to the contrary. The apostles Peter and Paul also used the word xyʹlon to refer to the torture instrument upon which Jesus was nailed, and this shows that it was an upright stake without a crossbeam, for that is what xyʹlon in this special sense means. I think you need to rename your channel "Dark ministry" as you are still in pitch darkness . I do pity your vain attempt to try and reinterpret what Jesus died on !

WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5 Isa 9:6 the word Prince in the Prince of Peace means PATRON ANGEL also Leader.

[@evanwindom3265]

Just this week I had a JW tell me that faith in Christ is all I need to "GET" saved, but on judgment day, "you better have enough good works to tip the scales against the bad ones." The words are a little different, but the overall sentiment is the same in many of the interactions I've had with our JW friends. You can get saved through faith, but the first time you don't meet a field service requirement, your salvation is forfeit and you have to earn it back, but none of them seems to know what it takes to "earn it back". DH's question "What's the standard" is very vexing for publishers. I had one tell me "as much as you can do". So, max effort all the time. What if I have a lazy day? What if someone else does more?

Still with the 'Spiritual Anarchy', huh? Preaching IS teaching, I would have thought. (Romans 10:14) So if I listen to you lot, we don't need to be taught, we don't need to be baptized, and we don't need to belong to a group or associate with fellow believers? Ironically, considering what you say about the Bible in this video, it's BECAUSE I've read the Bible that I know these teachings of yours and your buddies are completely wrong. The parable of the Talents is about the responsibility of Christians to preach (teach) and make disciples. And you know what happened to the Slave who buried the talent he was entrusted with, don't you? "And throw the good-for-nothing slave out into the darkness outside. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be." (Matthew 25:30) " preaching the Kingdom of God to them and TEACHING about the Lord Jesus Christ with the greatest freeness of speech, without hindrance." (Acts 2:31 - what is "preaching the Kingdom" if it's not 'teaching' folks about the Kingdom?) "Keep on giving these commands and TEACHING them...Until I come, continue applying yourself to public reading, to exhortation, to TEACHING.' (1 Timothy 4:11,13) "TEACHING THEM to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”" (Matthew 28:20) One thing I noticed about this video is how to try to have it both ways. On one hand. 'No!, you don't need anyone to teach you, just read the Bible. You'll be fine'. But then at a couple of points say things like, ''Well, you can "if you want", and "There's nothing wrong with Teachers". You frequently do this. Make out that you COMPLETELY disagree with us, only to walk back that disagreement by varying degrees over the course of a video. You also try to counter the JW argument that points out the great multitude of denominations out there by saying that most of them agree on the "essential doctrines of the faith". Well who determines what these are? Can you point me to a single verse in the Bible that lists them all, and then categorically says these are 'non-negotiable'? (Trinity, Immortal Soul, Hellfire, etc.) 1 Peter 2:21 says of Jesus that we ought to "follow his steps closely." Jesus taught and preached, and commanded his followers to do the same. That's good enough for me. I know that evangelism is about more than just handing out Bibles. "Now if I am declaring the good news, it is no reason for me to boast, for NECESSITY IS LAID UPON ME. Really, woe to me if I do not declare the good news!" (1 Corinthians 9:16) As a post script, you are factually wrong when you say the holy spirit was the one who told Philip to approach the Ethiopian eunuch. Verse 26 of Acts 8, identifies the "spirit" spoken of in verse 29. "However, Jehovah's angel spoke to Philip.."
