I was born and grew up as a Jehovah's Witness for 30 years. I haven't been to a Kindom Hall since my mother in law's memorial. I am now 71 and I am now a Born Again Christian.

I was one of JWs for 27 years. Now I am born again and Spirit filled. Praise God!

i am a ex jw and i love jesus christ so very much

I was part of the JWs from age 10-15 with my mum in NZ. I remember attending a meeting once at Easter and having communion passed around and no one took it. There was a real sense of almost deluded self righteousness about everyone as they let the elements pass by, considering themselves unworthy to partake. At the time I believed it all, but praise God at 16 I found Jesus, and now consider it a privilege to take part in communion.

Please please pray for them 🙏🏻✨ I was a Jehovah’s Witness for 35 years, disfellowshipped for 2 years now - Jesus saved me and I am an born again Christian now - it is possible ❤ they don’t know what they are doing - love on them 💕

We're not saved by religion but we are saved by God's grace through faith in JesusChrist our Lord and Savior!!Ephesians 2:8-10

When I was a JW, I always questioned this event. They never talk about Jesus' love and sacrifice for us. I am sooooo grateful that Jesus found me! Thank you Jesus for you love and sacrifice for us!

I was a JW for 26 years and thank God I was disassociated from them when I went and told them the truth. I am now a new born Christian since 2002 ❤❤

I wasted 40 years as a JW. What I learned is to never have any man tell me what God wants from me.

Pray for them please,i was caught in those lies for years, raised my children as JWs, i am now born again and pray my children who have no beliefs now will be saved someday

I grew up in the JW organization and I don’t think its a laughing matter and we’re not to make jokes about them! Actually I feel sorry for them as they can not see the truth as it is writen because of their indoctrination! Jesus saved me from the darkness but I feel for those members of my family that are still there… please pray for them so they can receive light and wisdom from God to be saved too!🙏Jesus died for us all!!🙏🙌🙏

When I was a missionary in Costa Rica I saw many JW's. God put it on my heart to reach out to them. Unfortunately many Christians choose not to open the door when they knock on it. I saw it as an opportunity to reach out to them. I had already been studying on different cults, but especially the Jehovah's Witnesses. I listened to Walter Martin a lot and even have his book Kingdom of the Cults. One of the first things he said that stuck with me was, when speaking to a JW, is to NEVER start out telling them that you will prove to them that JESUS is God. If you do, you will lose them and they will not listen to you no matter what you say. They will shut you down. He also encouraged to not use their "bible". I got to a point where I was able to use their own material to point them in the right direction. But if you are not familiar with them, it is best not to. What I would do was allow them to speak and share everything they wanted to. I already knew what they were going to say and the verses they would use. I never interrupted them, but when they finished that's when I would start to share.. Many times we would sit and talk for 3 hours. I saw them as a mission field that came to me and took advantage of it. I got to a point where, one time, I went to get my hair cut, the barber and I started talking about things happening in the world, but based on his wording I instantly knew he was a JW. I asked him if he was a JW and he was shocked. There are many other stories I could share, but I probably have shared way too much for people to want to continue reading this long post. They need JESUS just as much as we needed Him when we were lost in sin.

I've glanced through most of the comments and apparently we are the only ones to have taken communion at a Kingdom Hall. I was a believer of only a few years and my Aunt, Uncle, and my councins were all JWs. They invited me and maybe I wasn't in the second role, but I took the communion believing I would someday stand before the Lord in His presence. Sixty years later, I still take communion but in a Bible believing church every month. Thank you for allowing me to experience that memory. I still pray for my cousins and not sure where they stand today.

I was a 4th generation born in. I left at age 40. Even though I was never disfellowshipped, I’ve been shunned for 26 years ( only for leaving) I now attend a great nondenominational church. Over the years I’ve tried sending my family ( non religious, very kind & loving letters) with no reply. I’ve sent photos of my kids & now grandkids to keep them up to date.. still no reply. So many memories that never were made 😢I have no idea who’s passed away, gotten married or babies born. They won’t inform me & have been told to treat me as dead. It was a very high price to pay for freedom. I’m so happy that the organization is now being EXPOSED !! I pray for the members 🙏🏼🎚️who are so mind controlled & who think shunning is a “ loving” thing to do.

Ex-JW here. I grew up in it. I got out when I moved away and was eventually told about Beth-Sarim and why it was built. I never knew about it because the Watchtower Society likes to keep it a secret. I've been a born again Christian for about 14 years now. My mother is still a JW. Please pray for her. I've been trying to get her out for a while now.

I remember one time I had the craziest encounter with Jehovah Witnesses I had backsliding I was only 4 months in the Lord and I left my Christian men's home I was in and I had been coming down from meth and I've been up all night and I just wanted to get some rest and I'm sitting in San Francisco Golden Gate Park in a baseball field and here come in the middle of the afternoon not in my right mind and that's when the enemy wants to hit you the most these two guys come in suits walking toward me and I and I thought to myself oh my God it's the FBI and they invited me to their Wednesday night bible study so I went to the storage company I kept my stuff in and grab my Bible and went to their meeting and this guy tries to take my Bible and says let me give you one of our Bibles and I was like no this is my mom's Bible but if I would have known then what I know now I wouldn't have gone with them but God has kept me since then and I like to tell the Jehovah Witnesses that Jehovah already has a witness his name is Jesus and you got to get right with him

I left 3 yrs ago and found my savior❤

This was so interesting to listen to as an exjw. I loved it! 💕 Praise the Lord, I was called from that darkness and into the light. There are so many JW's waking up right now. Please keep praying for them! 🙏

Like so many, I too was a JW for 30 years, am a Born Again Christian now for 24 years. My conclusion to their behavior at their so called Memorial, they do not partake of the emblems because they do not believe in Jesus as they should. They claim He is Michael the Archangel. They need are prayer’s desperately. I look forward to the day when the last JW will turn off the lights in that last Kingdom Hall. Hallelujah!

I was raised in the JW religion and stepped away once I graduated high school. Praise God He brought me back to Him and showed me His great love through the grace He’s given us through Christ Jesus. I was never taught of His love and grace as a child but only to be fearful of messing up and not being worthy to survive Armageddon. So many rules and living in fear. When I left I thought I was going to hell. But God!! He left the 99 to find me. I am so thankful to be born again through Christ Jesus who died for our sins and provided the way to know and be close to God. I never thought about that before how they celebrate the memorial of His death and don’t acknowledge that He is alive sitting next to God the Father in Heaven. My parents are still active members in that religion. My grown sisters have both struggled to find their way after separating from that religion. I continue to pray for all of them. God prepares hearts and calls those who are His to Him. He removes veils and helps us to see. Abba Father thank You for opening my eyes. Please open the eyes of all those caught in those false belief systems. Please show them Your great love and the importance of communing with You. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen 🙏🏻

I am a ex elder who disassociated. The watchtower has changed the Bible to fit their belief system,for instance in many passages In the NWT Bible it refers to Jesus as “other”. Colossians 1:16 in the ESV says Jesus created all things,in the NWT it says Jesus created all “other” things. Now remember while Charles Russell (founder) was alive he always taught Jesus was god and taught about the union between the father,son and Holy Spirit. When he died oct 31 1915 judge Rutherford did not wait long until completely changing their belief system. Rutherford then said Jesus was created,Jesus is not god and Christmas is a pagan holiday. See the hypocrisy? Now the members of the organization listen to 9 men in New York called the gov body. If the members don’t agree with the gov body then the gov body says they don’t agree with god… hypocrisy at its finest. May the mighty god Jesus save their souls and feel pity for them when his returns.

I was associated with the JWs for many years but I was worried about the bible that they gave me was wrong so I spoke to them about it and said that I was going to pray about it and I did and God showed me all the changes that they had made, they could not accept that God had replied to me, I tried to give them back their book but they wouldn’t take it, I have been a born again Christian for 17 years now amen

So sad how many people that are really searching for Jesus are deceived by this cult. I pray that Jesus will reach them and open their eyes before it's too late. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I'm so encouraged to see all the comments of ex JWs. ❤️ My neighbor was a JW and she moved. I had some good conversations with her. She and her husband are really on my heart so I pray for them. ❤️.

The Lord said if one comes preaching another gospel, LET THEM BE ACCURSED, DO NOT WISH THEM GOD SPEED, IF YOU DO YOU ARE A PARTAKER WITH THEM

The one thing I learned as being a JW, is to never become one!! They cherry pick the whole bible to fit the narrative.

I had a girlfriend when I was young that was raised in the JW church (she was inactive/disassociated and I was not saved at the time). As Easter approached, I asked her if she wanted to join me at a Easter passion play at the church that I had gone to and that my mom was still a member-- an Assemblies of God church. I'll never forget the look of shock and revulsion on her face. She flat out said no. Even though she had not been an active JW for years, the group's decrees that were drilled into her head still strongly influenced her. Understand that in the JW church, it is unacceptable to have anything to do with any other church. Just know that if you ever have the opportunity to interact with a JW, thinking that you'll just invite them to your church, your invitation will not be received well.

I was raised in this madness , Thank our Lord Jesus for rescuing me and giving me hope and everlasting life. My mother is dyed in the wool J.W. She constantly puts my church down and tries to shove these lies down my throat. I am praying for a way to try to reason with her without being disrespectful , but she shuts me down changes the subject and refuses to listen. I am greatfull that several of my cousins have been saved. I have some that are still involved with them. Prayers please !🙏🙏

If this pastor stops saying "like" he can do his speech in half the time.

Yes, please pray for them to have a relationship with Jesus. Know him as their Lord & Savior.🙏

no,they are not making a spectacle of you, thats how you felt. Thats their way of making you feel that you are important. Im not JW but a born again Christian baptized in the Holy spirit.

I resigned by letter from the JW religion in January. Did I know Jesus? Well, Jesus directed us to pray to Heavenly Father. My prayers were answered, so He was listening. I felt very close to God. So the reason I am not an ex JW activist is because Heavenly Father blesses those that love Him and reflect His qualities, whatever religion they are in. All religions are man made with pharisee type rules. The refreshment and light load Jesus promised comes when we worship God "in Spirit and Truth", as he explained to the Samaritan woman at the well. I have felt such freedom since January - it is a beautiful thing and decades of depression left me overnight. Amen and Amen.

Thank you brother. I’m a former JW and I partook of the bread and wine and I video’d the whole thing. I’m a born again Christian now, praise God. I’m glad you can raise awareness.

O my this is confirmation! I love to pray intercede but lately thinking not enough just to pray/fast. Anna in the Bible praying looking for Jesus first coming. My name is Anna I tell ppl I too am looking for my Jesus His 2nd coming. ❤❤❤ This so touched me because God has been showing me HOW POWERFUL PRAYER IS.🙏

So, this pastor accepted an invitation to a Jehovah's Witness memorial where they pass the bread and wine to remember The Lord's Evening Meal. He ate the food and drank the wine. He left, and then went back to his church days later criticizing all the things he saw. Well, I wouldn't want to ask him to come to my home and have a meal with my family. I imagine that he would tell others how bad the food was snd that the hosts at the party over dressed. He probably would tell others that the prayer said over the meal was not right. He also might say that people were looking at him. Delusional! What he really is foing here is bringing attention to himself. Patting himself on the back. "Look at me! I'm perfect!" I don't know where he got his theology degree, but msybe it was in a Cracker Jack box.

Its a dangerous cult! Run!!

As a former witness I enjoy this outsider view...it is honest and informative. When I left the organization it took a while to return to Jesus. You have to learn to trust again, and cleanse your pallet for Bible study. I feel Jesus called me back and I have returned to my original Christian faith and I am grateful.

Dear friends, the Lord burdened me with the JWs. I started confronting them on the street but found I could not have a meaningful discussion with any one with thier tactics of changing the topic and people moving around. I was getting despondent when the Lord layed it on my heart to attend thier Sunday meetings. I listen and only in casual conversation say something that I believe will make them contemplate the Organisations errors. In this way I am sowing the truth in thier acre. I am praying for a Nineveh moment until then I will be there listening and praying. Remember us in your prayers. Thankyou. Shalom. It is our responsibility to witness and God through the Holy Spirit will do the convicting, Amen.

I am a committed follower of Christ. This pastor is terrific, exposing the apostasy and hypocrisy of the Jehovah's Witnesses. A cult is a cult is a cult.

As you can see from the comments, many of us have left the JW organization. When I left in the 70s, many committed suicide because they still believed it was "the truth" but just couldn't stay in the organization. Thank goodness this doesn't seem to be the case any more. On the other hand I believe the Holy Spirit led me out and therefore I knew it was not the truth, but that I had been brainwashed. When I was a witness in the 70s, we were taught that 144,000 would be in heaven and the rest of us would be on earth, so it's not a new theology. Well, they got part of it right. We are in heaven with Jesus until the New Jerusalem comes down to earth in Revelation and I believe that's where we will spend eternity in our resurrected bodies, on earth. I understand that others may not agree, but thank goodness we don't need to agree with each other about everything, except for the life, death and resurrection of Christ; that is a deal breaker. We definitely need to pray for them because there are some very wonderful people in the JWs, just as there are in all faiths. God Bless.

In rejecting Communion, you are rejecting Christ. That's why they make a big deal of rejecting Communion.

Amen - my sister is trapped in that religion. It breaks my heart she used to be my best friend 😪 I pray for her to have the strength to see the truth but she’s such a devoted mother

its so sad they are taught they are not worthy to be in communion with The Lord Jesus Christ

How prophetic. They didn't take communion b/c they're not participating in the New Covenant and not going to Heaven. Dear Jesus, please save them like you saved us. 🙏

Praise God Pastor Thanks for sharing....God is SOOO GOOD....He doesnt want anyone to perishthat they should KNOW THE TRUTH....JESUS IS THE TRUTH,KNOW HIM,KNOW TRUTH,NO JESUS ,NO TRUTH!!!!🙏🙏🙏

Wow - I'm trying to wrap my mind around this. Our neighbors are JW, but I see the distancing when it comes to interacting with anyone but other JW's.

I agree people should dress nice for church. God is God dress nice. People dress there best to see the queen. But not for God. Jesus. You should.

I went to one of their communions and I took the bread and they panicked. I didn’t know they didn’t partake of communion 😂😂😂

I was a JW until I was a teen, now I'm spiritual not religious. Jesus had no building, he preached everywhere to everyone. He loved everyone and forgave all. There are no divisions as we ALL are children of god. Love is the only thing that matters.

I went to the communion service and what he's saying its true

when i was 16 and being a pioneer or missionary for them, I was downtown in Victoria b.c. canada and a saved Christian boy stood up with his bible on the corner, and hes saved, I went to get all snarly, and he prayed with me, Jesus made himself known, he saved me my 1st time ppraying to him which is a disfellowshipping offense. keep preaching please do you know they were watching you yes, and it did open someones eyes! I feel the holy spirit, someone was meant to see that Jesus is alive and we are meant to take communion praise God so now Im on ticktock and preaching for Jesus! halleluja

What I love about moments like this is it gives us Christian’s a chance to feel like outsiders at Christian events. It’s great!

Religion is man's way of getting to god, but True Biblical Christianity is GOD'S WAY OF GETTING TO MAN. Amen and Amen

I was a Jw and a born-again believer and partaker of the bread and wine, I was stared at too! Almost no one partakes you know, maybe one per congregation, yeah that was me, lol. Sadly, Jw are taught they are not worthy to partake. Jw are famous for taking things out of context. Jw disagree with so many scriptures, the only way they can get people to believe their nonsense is by taking things out of context. Now I am going to University, taking Apologetics, going for a degree in Religion with a specialty in Evangelism.

You have to remember something about watchtower. It's a real estate publishing company disguised as a religion.

Thank you for your faithfulness in listening to the Lords direction in attending this observance and partaking of the bread and wine! I was saved 2 years ago out of the JWs after being born and raised knowing no different for over 45 years. My mom was saved a year ago at 73. The spirit is moving and speaking to those who will hear him and coming out of these deceptive demonic cults. So yes, please keep praying and fasting for those who are still blinded, as well as those who have left and lost all faith. That they would see the Bible is still true, but the God they were taught wasn’t true. And they can find peace and grace in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

My brother in laws one Aunt was a JW. It was sad to know that they're not going to heaven. The rest of the family went to Baptist church. I pray for the mormons and JW!!

Hi, from a JW. Let's give a response as we go: 1- 1:35 - Of course Jesus was resurrected, and that's what gives us hope. But we "keep doing this in remembrance of him" 1 Corinthians 11:24, comemorating the last supper before his sacrifice. 2- 3:00 - Yeah, it can make peopl feel self-conscious to go somewhere when everyone else is more formal. But you're not going to offend anyone as long as there's nothing specifically inappropriate showing. It would also generally make people feel very uncomfortable bringing any iconography or religious symbols, as we consider any religious symbols to be idolatry. No one would get violent or anything, but we'd find that disrespectful. But guests are welcome any time, and there's specifically extra outreach for the memorial, so "new people" is not only expected, but hoped for. Even if you have absolutely no intention "to convert" or anything... as long as you're respectful and not disruptive, you're welcome to come study. Your experience of being sent to the front is a little inappropriate though... he should have let you sit wherever you were most comfortable. I mean, the front isn't "for elders," so you'd be welcome to sit there, as long as you're not planning on being disruptive. There's no special "place of honor" or anything. But it's totally normal for people to prefer to sit in the back. I'd assume the INTENT was trying to be friendly, not "make a spectical of you." 3- 7:00, you'd have to be more specific as to which sections you feel contradicted what was being said... we tend to crossreference a lot of scriptures and focus in on the main point, but the expectation is for people to take the time to study all of those passages in context (preferably in multiple translations). 4- 8:00, This would be the most complicated part. While the more popular perspective is that "the right people go to heaven, and everyone who doesn't go to heaven goes to hell to burn forever." The briefest explanation I can give boils down to Romans 6:23- that the wages sin pays is "death," but the gift of God is eternal "life." That God isn't a God of the dead, but of the living. And that the goal of humanity isn't to die and abandon the world, but for the resurrection (Daniel 12, John 5, 1 Corinthians 15, Revelation 21, etc.). Notice verses like Matthew 22:23 and Acts 23:8 describe the Sadducees as those who "say that there is no resurrection." So, we think the salvation of mankind is this resurrection and restoration of all that Adam lost (Romans chapter 5), but we also note a peculiar chapter: Revelation 7 which talks of a great multitude which no one could count from every nation, tribe, people, and language, but also a smaller flock if 144,000 "purchased from the earth." The larger flock isn't damned to hell. There's just a small flock taken out from among that larger flock, described as "priests." Now, if God audibly speaks to you as you seem to indicate, feel free to ask him for clarification on Revelation 7 and share your insights. Having only the bible to go on, the best I can figure out is that this "Great Crowd" is those resurrected to eternal life. And that this smaller "priestly" flock serves a similar purpose as the priestly group in the Mosaic covenant. The Levites weren't "better" than the rest of the Jews, but they had unique tasks and unique access to the holy place in the temple. A unique role of carrying the ark of the covenant. But this came with having no land of their own and not having the freedom to choose any other professions because they were called to priestly duties. And others were not permitted to fill in for those duties. So, when we see 1 Corinthians 11:27-29... it must mean something. Again, by all means, anyone who claims access to speak to God verbally, feel free to ask. But this seems to be a quite stern warning that should not simply be ignored and eaten casually. The most cautious understanding we have, given the evidence available is that this could be an acceptance of this priestly role... like picking up the ark of the covenant, or claiming that God personally gave us some message to speak on his behalf; not something to do presumptuously! Of course, people are free to think for themselves and interpret it differently. Some people respect the general opinion and don't make a scene at the memorial, but they interpret 1 Corinthians 11 in some other way, and may find it appropriate to have their own observance at home and eat and drink according to their conscience, in prayerful consideration of scriptures. That's entirely their business. 5- 8:50 ... no, no one would riot. If you fully understand scripture and feel called to eat it, that's totally between you and God. Perhaps you're right. Or, perhaps you don't understand and just break a social norm. We trust God knows what's in your heart and your true intentions, and isn't going to smite you for breaking our social norm. Although SOME people DO try to make a display of eating the emblems, not out of communion with Jesus, but as a display of rebellion against the congregation. We find that tacky, but again, that's still between them and God. Even if one interprets scripture that EVERYONE should eat the symbols, I'd say this would be quite inappropriate. But even if they made a big scene, no one would "riot." If they were DIRECTLY hostile, someone would ask them to leave. 6- 9:43 - Oo! I really like that they used the term "Governing!" This would be too much of a tangent, but this comes from the statement in Revelation chapter 5. Specifically verse 10 involving the terms βασιλείαν and the verb form βασιλεύσουσιν. Although this is where we studying multiple translations and manuscripts becomes important because while the Nestle Aland and Westcott & Hort use the feminine singular βασιλείαν (Kingdom), the Textus Receptus uses the masculine plural βασιλεῖς (kings). Anyway, the short version is the term βασιλεύουσιν is the verb form of kingdom. Translations like the KJV will translate this "they will rule and reign." But this sort of implies superiority OVER subjects below them, which is contextually problematic. However, "they will govern" is grammatically consistent while being consistent with how the Hebrew scriptures described the priestly role of the levites... specifically NOT rulers reigning over the rest of Israel, but a role of service and responsibility to their bretheren. Again, if you have a different interpretation of chapters 5, 7, and 14... feel free to analyze it... but they shouldn't just be overlooked as so many do.

This video is doing the rounds in ExJW groups and activists pages. I left at 16, I’m a SRA survivor through the JW’s. The Cult is horrific!! Even though I was never baptized, I’m 100% shunned by my family for speaking out.

Hallelujah praise the Lord for saving y’all from JW , so thankful the truth of our Saving Grace. Praying for JW to have there eyes opened for the Christ Jesus is willing. 🙏🏼

Jesus open the jehovah witnesses to the Truth of God's Holy Word the Bible in Jesus name I pray Amen 🙏 Jesus our Savior and our God Hallelujah Amen 🙏

They only pick and choose from the bible they are a cult

I don't knock other church's or beliefs. It's judgemental. The Lord searchs us all out , no matter what church we attend or don't attend.

Brilliant! And I love one of his opening statements ‘Jehovah’s witnesses, in fact anyone who doesn’t know the Lord - they’re not our enemies!’

If only Jehovah’s Witnesses could see that their memorial doesn’t make any sense.

I'm not a JW. However, over the years generations have been dressing down for church. Not unusual for people do dress in their best clothes on Sunday or Saturday.

I will start praying for them tonight I feel for anyone who's lead away from jesus 🙏

I am a 77 yr old Bible studying Christian, I have a friend since 8th grade who is a devout Jehovah, and tells me he has read the Bible start to finish 4 times. But he still believes what he is taught in their beliefs. How is that possible in my mind. We discuss it and I pray for him and all that he teaches that is completely wrong. I needed to share this with you. Thank you for sharing. And God bless us all in the name of Jesus Christ our savior.

Thank you for sharing this!

I went to a JW church two weeks ago. They are very kind people. And, i made many contacts. I think someone tipped them off that i am an apologist No one answers my texts. They are not enemies, they are just told they have the true scriptures. Maybe i will have a chance to engage with them.

The Jehovah Witnesses don't like grace just like the way the Catholic Church walked away from grace a long time ago.

Thanks God for keeping me from responding to JW invitation. They tried to put me under pressure, but God sent His servant to fight for my soul. Praise be to our God Almighty !❤❤❤

My grandfather disowned my father for married my mother she was a Catholic he only knew me and brother didn't know none of my sisters

Very interesting testimony. I'm a Christian and ex-Catholic. I thought the Catholic church was messed up but those JW folks are really out of it. I will help pray for them.

Once upon a time, I handed 2 JW's a gospel tract that had the word HELL on the outside of it. They told me, "Oh, we don't need this. There IS NO HELL !!! We're Jehovah's Witness's." I had no idea how to talk with them, because I had NO IDEA what their knowledge base was. THAT put me onto a deep study of everything the JW's believe. I downloaded their bible and their publications and read them. Then I started delving into their database thru Google and following links. Watching videos, reading and cross referencing material against what it says in the bible and came up with 212 different verses and sometimes full pages of stuff and a few where up to three full pages of stuff was eliminated from their bible. They don't believe in HELL. They don't believe in the TRINITY OF GOD. ie. Father, Word (Son), Holy Ghost. They think Jesus was God's first CREATION. They think He is Gabriel, renamed to Jesus. They know Jesus was a prophet, but only that. They believe that. They believe that Jesus died on a torture stake, not a cross!) God raised Jesus from the dead, BUT NOT PHYSICALLY !!! They believe God raised him spiritually only. They think the 144,000 are high leaders in the past, in the early times of the Jehovah's Witness's that WORKED TO GET THEIR PART, to govern the J.W.s living on the planet earth. ((When you ask them what the tribes of Judah are, they have no idea what you're talking about. When you tell them that 12,000 of each of the 12 tribes of Judah will be marked with God's mark in their foreheads, as God's Witnesses during the tribulation period...they act as though that's mumbo-jumbo to them! When you take them tgru some of the deleted verses, they tell you that, MAN CHANGED IT THE WAY THEY WANTED IT...and I picked that up and ran with it. Yup, Jehovah's Witness's did JUST THAT !!! The JW church has pulled the wool over their eyes, all their life and have bum-fuddled their minds with an extra high level of the devil's BS !!! LOVE THEM. PRAY FOR THEM. WITNESS TO THEM !!!

John 13:34 says, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another" It breaks my heart to see people/pastors comparing their beliefs with others. God is Unconditional Love. This is Love, without conditions. We are all God’s children. There are NO conditions. Love one another. Separation and Division are what start wars. Why can’t we all just get along and LOVE each other!?? This is the very reason I stopped going to church many years ago. I starting becoming Unconditional LOVE I stopped comparing and judging others and embracing everyone’s uniqueness. We are created in the image of the Creator… so, let’s CREATE love, not hate and judgment. Sending everyone reading this so much Love and Blessings because you are all worthy of it! You ARE Love. 💕✨

I once told a JW, who left the Catholic Church, I explained to the young girl, believing is Jesus is about relationship not religion. she did not understand I said to her can I explain a kiss to you , she replied no , I have to experience it, I said yes , I left her standing on the top of the stairs, when I got to the bottom on the stairs I looked back she was staring after me and she had just turned away. I hope I planted a seed .

We need a miracle 700 in rent is due. I've been doing delivery but right now it's not cutting it!! Please please pray for us!! Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!

I actually appreciate the Jehovah witnesses. I admire their tenacity to try to spead- what they think is the gospel to others. They actually woke me up spiritually and then I became a reborn Christian. So I'm a little softer on them.

As a former JW (Ex-JW), I can say that they all Love Jesus. The way the Memorial was originally explained to me was that it was a Rememberance of Jesus dying for our sins so that everyone could have a continued close relationship with God - so that our sins would not sever that relationship. So the Memorial is not meant as a funeral, but to celebrate Jesus' life & dying for all of us. (It's very similar to why Easter is celebrated. The JW's use the calendar that was used back by the Jewish religion - during Jesus' life - to figure out the "correct" date that Jesus' sacrifice originally would have occurred. Using that calendar is how the date is figured out each year for the Memorial. It's essentially a Celebration event which begins at Sundown - similar to how the Jewish faith celebrates certain religious events at sundown.) The other thing that this pastor mentioned was that they sat him & his wife up front. I can tell you that it was not meant to make them feel like a spectacle. They do that because anyone new, they would try to give the best seats to. (Just like if someone came to your house for dinner, you make sure that they have the best seat & food, as a good host.) Truly, the Witnesses would not care about how you're dressed. They would have been happy you are there. They love when new people show up. I'm not sure if you know, but each Witness has to study the Bible for several years before they are baptized. At the point of Baptism, each one becomes an Ordained Minister. I know many, really good Jehovah's Witnesses. Do I agree with the faith anymore? No. I do Not. What the Governing Body has done since 2018-2019 in particular, by becoming so strict with what the Witnesses are & are not allowed to do, is terrible!! - in my opinion. Originally, the Governing Body was there to give guidance (similar to how pastors of other religions do with their congregations), However, things have changed since 2018-2019. The Governing Body has been now placing themselves right under God & Jesus!!! This is so wrong, in my opinion!! The Governing Body (the Organization as it's referred to) has gone to lengths to keep it's group isolated more in the last few years. They have a Broadcast (JW Broadcasting) that they put out monthly. In my viewpoint, it's propaganda used to control the group. (Essentially, every single thing that you do in a day's time is controlled by the Organization's "guidance" which they back up using the Bible.) It's a very sad & difficult way to live. Most Witnesses give up many of life's joys to follow what they are told is the Bible's "guidance" - but is actually the Organization's. It's tough when any faith or Organization twist the Bible's instructions for a healthy lifestyle & Faith's activities into something meant for their own purposes rather than God's & Jesus' purposes for all of their people. (God & Jesus love All of us - regardless of faith - and want us All to love and have a relationship with them.) I kind of chuckled listening to parts of this sermon -- NOT out of Disrespect. It's just that Witnesses are told that God has lifted the veil from their eyes & to feel bad for the "worldly" (anyone not a Witness) people because they can't see the Truth because of the veil that's over them. I would say that this pastor has as much concern as many Witnesses would for him. I think that God wants us to love one another, so I agree with this pastor when he says that we should all be kind & pray - for one another. The first & most important command/principle that God gave to us is to love him first and foremost in our lives. The second command/principle is that we love our neighbors more than we love ourselves. So being kind & looking out for one another is what God wants us to do. Like any faith, no one wants to be condemned or told their faith is fraudulent or just wrong. I know many very Spiritual Witnesses that love God & put Him first in their lives. I personally feel that their Faith is just as strong as anyone elses' of other faiths. However, they are being misled by the Organization as they keep making "adjustments". If you come across Jehovah's Witnesses, please be kind in your interaction with them. The Organization tries to tell them that they are being "persecuted" by others for their faith because they know "the Truth". So when you are unkind to them, it just drives them further into the group. As I said, I'm an Ex-JW. Growing up, I went to different Churches with family & friends. The one thing that I saw in each of them was their sincere love for God. That's what should be celebrated; each faiths' commonalities & true love for God. 🙌🏼🙏🏼 ___________________________________ **Note: "For legal reasons, I need to say that anything said about the Organization / Governing Body / Watchtower is my opinion based on my previous life as a Jehovah's Witness as well as other experiences and research that I have done.

Prayers alone will not be enough, it will require us to go out and put our self on the line. Jesus left us here so we can share good news.

my son and daughter in law are JW. They invited us to the same service. We sat on the very front row. I wished I had the courage to take that communion like you did. Our son said do not take communion. It's only for the ones going to heaven. My husband did not want to go but our son invited us and I said yes. We are Southern Baptist. I felt the same way when I left. These poor people have no idea. Our son married into this. Please pray with me for Charley and his wife Stephanie.

I live in Independence Missouri. You know where the Jehovah witness temple is and they claim that Christ will first come to when he comes? I have seen some of their young men come knocking on our door. Although I am Christian of many years I was really tired that day and yelled at them. Not the best way to present Christ. I have prayed and continue to do so that I might be given another opportunity to talk with them. So I understand your message. I pray that the time is coming soon, but these will miss the Kingdom. I once went to a church that was not designated as a Mormon or JW church, but I was put into a Sunday school class with three elders and the 'older' group that I suppose to indocrinate me. I ended up correcting and teaching that class, but was pulled aside when it ended saying that this was a Latter day saints church and the man speaking held up a book of Mormon. By this admission I really felt unwelcome. I went into the sanctuary and sat down, where a future leader of the African church was to reign. I can call it no other, as she was sitting on a throne like chair and had the most disagreeable expression on her face. The Holy Spirit told me to leave that this group had nothing further for me. So I stood and left. I wish that had the strength to confront this congregation and tell them the good news that Jesus can to give them eternal life and a mansion in Heaven. By the way, those elders were studying the Book of Revelation. They had not yet reached the place where 144,000 were mentioned.

My husband has a friend that is a JW. He no longer comes around because I believe in all Jesus did for me and I too would have taken communion in that JW church. Thank you for sharing your experience and giving me the courage to witness to this JW friend should he decide to come see us again. Praise God for He is so good! May never meet you on earth but will see you in Heaven.

I was a JW for 22 years and left 8 years ago. The longer I’m away, the more controversies I find. The doctrines are always flip flopping and their prophecies are never fulfilled. False prophets are what they are. The public are deceived. Their ceremony of not partaking Jesus offering is rejecting Jesus. JW believe that only the anointed can partake. They do this at a black mass where they pass Jesus offering and reject it. Most JW are not aware of this. They could be also forfeiting eternal life. You did good by partaking. Read John 6 that shows Jesus offered it to everyone.

The Apostle Paul says that we carry on observing communion until Jesus returns. (1 Corinthians Chapter 11 Verse 26). Why do JWs observe the Lord's Evening Meal if they believe Jesus has returned???

God honours those who honours Him. Well done pastor

I was a JW for 7 years...but i left them because of all the restrictions

I was a J.W. for over 30 yrs and I am not one anymore by choice. But I do think the way you are speaking about them is unkind. They think as you do that they have found the truth. They no doubt put you up front so you could hear well not to make a spectacle of you. and when the bible says "keep doing thisin rememberance of me" quoting Jesus at the last supper hemeant keep partaking of the unleavened bread as his body and the wine as his blood. He is not dead as you implied they think we know he was raised to heaven after 3 days. Just his human body was dead. The only ones of the J.W's that partake of these emblems are the ones that they believe are going to heaven , the 144,000 as Revelation states. There is much more I want to mention but suffice it to say "don't speak of another religion because everyone in the world feels they are worshipping their god in the right way.

This is super interesting coming from an observer. It was this business that sent me packing. For close to thirty years, my ears didn't hear what they were saying about their delineation between the 144,000 and the 'great crowd'. I had never put together that the emblems of Christ's body and blood were only for those in the new covenant with Christ [the anointed] and THEREFORE [here's the caveat] - Christ was ONLY THEIR mediator - not the 'great crowd's' mediator. The 'great crowd' had a chance at living on the earth forever IF they remained faithful and loyal to the organization [aka Jehovah] run by a few anointed men who call themselves the 'faithful and discreet slave class' [aka the Governing Body] giving their members food at the proper time. [I only remember 'sheep and the goats', 'wheat and the chaff'...not 'this class' and 'that class' within the body of Christ.] DONG! What do you mean, 'not my mediator'? There is no mediator except Christ - were they now claiming to mediate for the 'great crowd'? That's blasphemy - apostasy - heresy! I can't find a word bad enough! In who's name were we supposed to pray in, then? [I thought the speaker made a mistake, but then read it in the Watchtower study article - hard evidence.] It was like coming straight out of a coma doing 110 miles per hour with my eyes wide open. From there, everything came apart doctrinally. And it continues to do so 20 years later. I just revisited an interesting secretly recorded video of a couple of JW elders visiting Jimmy [an inactive 'publisher' - that 'publisher' title is another whole thing], talking about this 'mediator' issue. And it came down to one of the elders asking Jimmy if he believed what he read in the WT literature, or what he read in the bible? [I don't think he meant it to be a Freudian Slip] The first time ever, that I've heard an actual truthful statement from that organization! That's right, Mr. Elder - your trustworthy literature from the trustworthy 'faithful and discreet slave class' who feeds you the proper food at the proper time, directed by Holy Spirit - is at odds with God's own Word. How'd that happen, I wonder. And that conversation ended, lickity split. So, yes. Please do pray for them - it seems the ones who start asking questions are the ones who start reading the scriptures in context [even in their defunct translation], doing the literal math, or getting criminally treated [physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually] and going to the authorities for help. And in asking questions, they are treated as apostates and shunned by family and friends still in the organization [which has gotten the JW organization in trouble in Spain and Norway of late - the JW organization is now recognized as a dangerous cult in Spain, and in Norway the JW organization got their equivalent of a 501C3 taken away [no tax exemption or monies anymore] for abusing people with their shunning practices.] So now the organization is rebranding themselves in that area and denying their former treatment of disfellowshipped members, and are going after Norway in the courts to get their monetary status back. A lot of convoluted convoluting, if you ask me. As is everything that originates from that org. [They're not even a religion! Their own charter defines them as a business.] I'm going to stop here, because I've got to stop somewhere. It just never ends. Enough said. Thank you for doing this brave visit of yours, and posting this video.

I am married to a JW and have been praying for his salvation for 52 years. Also I have one son who is a born-again Christian. My other three sons and their families are steeped in that religion too. It is heartbreaking. I know full well what you are speaking about. I was anxious to hear if they said anything to you about taking communion, but I guess not, since you didn't mention it. Thanks for sharing this video. Please pray for the salvation of my family. 😢🙏

I just laughed out loud. I am exJW. 50 years of being stuck in a cult

Yes!! Jesus said we should go and tell...!

So good God moved you to go. Maybe someone there had been thinking about taking communion and what you did may help them. So sad they shun Christ.

Amen we love Jesus Christ and we believe in him

I am a born-again Christian who spent years studying the beliefs of of the JWs, and of course their doctrine concerning the 144,000. There are MANY problems in their non-Christian beliefs but I will comment only on this one since it is the topic here. The Watchtower in Brooklyn teaches its adherents that, yes, there are only 144,000 select JWs who will be in Heaven, and this number was filled decades ago. (Likely in the 1960s) The Bible teaches that there is One Mediator between God and man: Jesus Christ. (1 Tim.2:5) He is the only way to Heaven and the only Name by which men must be saved. (Acts 4:12) According to their own doctrine and printed works, rank and file JWs are instructed that Jesus is ONLY the mediator for the 144,000. Who is the mediator for the “other sheep”? (all those NOT numbered in the exclusive 144,000) According to the Watchtower, the 144,000 are the mediator to all the rest. How’s that work out for you? All of the supposed 144,000 are gone from this earth. How do they mediate for them? Especially considering that according to Watchtower teachings, when you die, you cease to exist, only to be recreated later. No thanks! I will pray to the One True Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, by way of Jesus Christ, The Word, (John 1:1) the Son of God, and Redeemer of my soul.

If we don't take communion, we are rejecting Jesus' sacrifice. We are then with satan, not God. We are to come boldly before the throne.

Thank you for sharing :)

I live next door (apt) to a couple who are J.W. publishers (high up the ladder), I pray for them alot.

Amen and Amen from the Seattle area. Blessings on your fellowship!
