'Three days of good news': Jehovah's Witness convention returns to Toledo | Good Day on WTOL 11

Mark Smith and David Aloyo talk the 2024 Jehovah's Witness convention at the Glass City Center, Friday through Sunday.

It would be better to love Jesus instead of making idols of the men you worship without question. Hear the voice of our King: EVERYONE who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born from God and conquers the world. To the one that conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life and they will by no means be harmed by the second death. (1 John 5:1-5; Rev 2:7, 11) Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have NO LIFE within yourselves.” (John 6:53) Yet JWs publicly deny his flesh and blood. Therefore, they have NO LIFE in themselves. This is how the devil misleads the chosen that found their way to JW, by using men to convince them to refuse the lifesaving emblems. This is a gross sin perpetuated by a sickening cult! One hope, one faith, one calling. (Eph 4:4)

[@themusicbook8679]

@@colmflaherty3963 in revelation seven, the great crowd is in the holy of Holies. How did a bunch of people on earth who refused to partake the bread and wine get into the very presence of God, before the throne? Galatians 4:27 The Bible says that Sarah’s seed, the anointed are MORE NUMEROUS then the seed of Hagar. Hagar represented “Jerusalem today”. The Jerusalem of that day consisted of millions of Jews. Sarah seed, the anointed ones are more numerous than the millions of Jews living in Jerusalem at that time. How is 144,000 a bigger number than millions? Look up the scripture in Galatians in the watchtower library and see what they have to say about that term “more numerous”. They never address the subject! How can they? It disproves their entire doctrine of 144,000. A clever attempt to prevent people from partaking and having life in themselves. This is how Satan deceives if possible, even the chosen ones. What better way than to convince them that they’re not allowed to partake? JW is shutting up the doors to the kingdom. Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have NO LIFE within yourselves.” (John 6:53) by refusing the bread and the wine, Jehovah’s Witnesses are giving up their life, their heavenly calling. ALL who are led by God spirit are God sons. If you claim to be led by God, Spirit and deny that you’re a child of God with a heavenly calling, then whose spirit leads you? That spirit that they all feel leading them is trying to lead them to repentance into these truths I’m speaking. There is no secret token in someone’s heart that you’re not allowed to ask about, it is simply the presence of the Holy Spirit and it’s leadings And you can’t suddenly become announced at some random point in your life. It happens at baptism. Many people have found their way to Jehovah’s Witnesses because they appreciate the big truths that they have (no trinity, no immortal soul, etc) But then they give up there and they stop seeking and they fall short under the ever changing light of man. No wonder the governing body does this for their father, The devil, is continuously transforming his light too, all to close up the doors to the kingdom of Heaven. JWs were so close but then missed the entire point. Revelation is presented in symbols. The numbers are symbolic. The 144,000 depicts the fullness of the millions that will go to heaven in their judicial/priestly setting. How do you take 144,000 literal people out of 12 symbolic tribes? The great crowd is the same group in a separate vision shown in a different light, a personal one. They come out of the great tribulation because immediately after the tribulation, they are gathered to heaven in the twinkling of an eye and the rest of resurrected with them. They all meet the Lord TOGETHER. If some began to be resurrected in 1914 they’re not together with those who survived to the end now are they?

@@MommaBear-ml5zx The Apostles did preached that *Jesus* was *God.* Philippians 2:5-7, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in *Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God,* thought it not robbery to be equal with *God:* But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.”

[@MommaBear-ml5zx]

@@GloryBeToGodForever TrinityWhat About Trinity “Proof Texts”? “Equal With God”? AT PHILIPPIANS 2:6 the Catholic Douay Version (Dy) of 1609 says of Jesus: “Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.” The King James Version (KJ) of 1611 reads much the same. A number of such versions are still used by some to support the idea that Jesus was equal to God. But note how other translations render this verse: 1869: “who, being in the form of God, did not regard it as a thing to be grasped at to be on an equality with God.” The New Testament, by G. R. Noyes. 1965: “He-truly of divine nature!-never self-confidently made himself equal to God.” Das Neue Testament, revised edition, by Friedrich Pfäfflin. 1968: “who, although being in the form of God, did not consider being equal to God a thing to greedily make his own.” La Bibbia Concordata. 1976: “He always had the nature of God, but he did not think that by force he should try to become equal with God.” Today’s English Version. 1984: “who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.” New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. 1985: “Who, being in the form of God, did not count equality with God something to be grasped.” The New Jerusalem Bible. Some claim, however, that even these more accurate renderings imply that (1) Jesus already had equality but did not want to hold on to it or that (2) he did not need to grasp at equality because he already had it. In this regard, Ralph Martin, in The Epistle of Paul to the Philippians, says of the original Greek: “It is questionable, however, whether the sense of the verb can glide from its real meaning of ‘to seize’, ‘to snatch violently’ to that of ‘to hold fast.’” The Expositor’s Greek Testament also says: “We cannot find any passage where ἁρπάζω [har·paʹzo] or any of its derivatives has the sense of ‘holding in possession,’ ‘retaining’. It seems invariably to mean ‘seize,’ ‘snatch violently’. Thus it is not permissible to glide from the true sense ‘grasp at’ into one which is totally different, ‘hold fast.’” From the foregoing it is apparent that the translators of versions such as the Douay and the King James are bending the rules to support Trinitarian ends. Far from saying that Jesus thought it was appropriate to be equal to God, the Greek of Philippians 2:6, when read objectively, shows just the opposite, that Jesus did not think it was appropriate. The context of the surrounding verses (Php 2:3-5, 7, 8, Dy) makes it clear how Php 2 verse 6 is to be understood. The Philippians were urged: “In humility, let each esteem others better than themselves.” Then Paul uses Christ as the outstanding example of this attitude: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” What “mind”? To ‘think it not robbery to be equal with God’? No, that would be just the opposite of the point being made! Rather, Jesus, who ‘esteemed God as better than himself,’ would never ‘grasp for equality with God,’ but instead he “humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death.” Surely, that cannot be talking about any part of Almighty God. It was talking about Jesus Christ, who perfectly illustrated Paul’s point here-namely the importance of humility and obedience to one’s Superior and Creator, Jehovah God. Now can you actually address the questions posed to you?

Then 1914 1915 1918 1925 1942. Before the end of World war 2. 1975. Watchtower taught that the generation of 1914 would still be alive when the end came.

[Name of person] is no longer one of JEHOVAH's Witnesses ---->> "excluding YOU by reason of MY NAME" . I ask them if they can see Jehovah's promise to disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witnesses: . "He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part"! . I then warn them that, if they go through this narrow gate they will lose their family as a consequence of the Watchtower Societies shunning policies. .

Jehovah’s Witnesses salvation is not in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, but as stated several times in their literature, the witnesses salvation is in supporting their “governing body “ -nine men in Warwick New York, whom they look upon as gods. Those men usurp Jesus position, and have the witnesses reject the body and blood of Christ by not drinking the wine and eating the bread, aka communion at their Memorial. They have recently been deregistered as a religion in Norway and Lithuania due to the human rights violation pertaining to their disfellowshipping (excommunicating) and harsh shunning policies, and allowing adults and children to die by rejecting life saving blood transfusions. The Bible is talking about animal blood, but the Jehovah’s Witnesses organization goes beyond the things written in the Bible. They are a very dangerous cult. Google search the top ten cults in the United States and see where they fall.

@@franceswilson1977 I know you are not calling me the liar. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

@@planeclassic7129 blood belongs to Jehovah. God allowed Noah and his family to add animal flesh to their diet after the Flood but commanded them not to eat the blood. God told Noah: “Only flesh with its soul-its blood-you must not eat.” This command applies to all mankind from that time on because all are descendants of Noah. Leviticus 17:14. “You must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh, because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it will be cut off.” God viewed the soul, or life, as being in the blood and belonging to him. Although this law was given only to the nation of Israel, it shows how seriously God viewed the law against eating blood. Acts 15:20. “Abstain . . . from blood.” God gave Christians the same command that he had given to Noah. History shows that early Christians refused to consume whole blood or even to use it for medical reasons. Even today bloodless surgeries are just as safe as blood surgeries. There's no worries about disease infected blood such as the deliberate HIV spread in the UK in the early 80s. That govt is paying for it today. Maybe you all should respect blood belonging to Jehovah and look into alternative procedures that do not require blood instead of condemning those who put their life solely in Jehovah's hands.

[@Pac-Man..]

@@MommaBear-ml5zx The command to “abstain from blood” is a reiteration of the law of Moses (i.e. his instruction never drink blood or to eat meat with the blood still in it). Ancient people worshipped false animal gods and would drink animal blood ritualistically in the hopes of gaining their power. The command obviously refers to such practices, prevalent at the time, by prohibiting the *ingestion/consumption* of blood (transfusions are intravenous!). It's both idiotic and immoral to tenuously apply such an ancient law to a modern medical procedure invented thousands of years later. As a result, thousands of JW adults and worse still, innocent children who had no say, have died needlessly. Yes, of course, I accept that bloodless surgery, *where practicable,* can be safer but it is *NOT* a solution in the case of a major trauma and other conditions where blood loss is severe. Notwithstanding this, bloodless techniques are relatively new and therefore, *your cult's wicked stance on this has resulted in the premature deaths of thousands of men, women and children over the last few decades.* And all because undeucated simpletons like you cannot think for yourselves and follow the twisted edicts of 9 old men in New York. Sorry to say this MommaBear but you're simply not intelligent enough to engage in this debate. You're typical of most JWs who attempt to articulate complex arguments by Googling around then re-packaging and kludging other people's thoughts and words. You then get out of your cerebral depth and either contradict yourself or fail to understand the wider perspective, exactly as you've done here. You should probably stick your cart pioneering and debate those who are on a similar academic and mental level. I'm not being rude here - just truthful.

EVERYONE who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born from God and conquers the world. To the one that conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life and they will by no means be harmed by the second death. (1 John 5:1-5; Rev 2:7, 11) Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have NO LIFE within yourselves.” (John 6:53) Yet JWs publicly deny his flesh and blood. Therefore, they have NO LIFE in themselves. This is how the devil misleads the chosen that found their way to JW, by using men to convince them to refuse the lifesaving emblems. This is a gross sin perpetuated by a sickening cult! One hope, one faith, one calling. (Eph 4:4)
