So how do you think Jews felt whenever a man named Jesus of Nazareth claimed to be Son of Man? I’ve we only ever obeyed fundamentally origin teachings and never branched out we probably would not have a society that we have today that is more enlightened and educated. At least in the “academic” field

@@izrealtruefelicis3309 How do i think the Jews felt? Well, if it was a Jew that honored God's most important commandment in Deuteronomy, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy might", then that Jew would search the scriptures of the Tanakh(OT) to determine if this so called "Jesus" was truly the messiah prophesied to come and deliver their people. Jesus fulfilled so many prophecies written thousands of years prior with hundreds of eyewitnesses seeing the resurrected Christ, that Jesus being the Messiah spoken of in the Tanakh is undeniable. All but 1 of Jesus's apostles were martyred because of their faith. If all this was made up nonsense... my question is, why would all the apostles go to their death defending something they knew to be a lie? They wouldn't "branching out" from the basics in an academic/technological way for sure would yield positive changes. When it comes to "branching out" in matters of faith, the nature of the universe, and the very reason why we exist in the first place, is a scary thing. Because a perfect God already gave us his perfect revelation to live by. It comes down to this... The standard by which everything is measured against must be God's unperverted Word. if you branch out from the standard... then the standard can mean whatever you want it to mean. Jesus said, "Thy Word is truth". Isaiah 53 "He was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. "

people complain about false prophecies, and dont erven realize they dont evne know the Father, If you read the prophecies of Jesus in Micah 5:4, Isaiah chapters 11,42,52,53,61, Psalm 2, 16, 22, 110, Jesus was, is and always will be the heavenly firstborn, servant, king and high priest of the Most High Father, the Living and True God Almighty JEHOVAH, for all eternity. John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

That can be said of all religions. CHRISTIAN AND NON CHRISTIAN

JWs beliefs are in black and white on their website for anyone to read in their own language. Getting antagonists to explain JWs beliefs is similar to asking the Pharisees to explain what Jesus believed.

Heretics i say, believing in arianism is heresy

Please read the Bible. Did the first century Christians go around trying to convince people that Jesus was God? Or did they preach the good news about God's Kingdom? Matthew 10:7 As you go, preach, saying: ‘The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’ What do JWs preach? Read Matthew 24:14.

@@jimjuri6490 They already knew that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). They preached the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ in order to be saved (1 Cor. 15:1-5).

@@vadouis-rt3of :Who knew that Jesus was God? Jesus' DISCIPLES? Paul clearly states that Jesus was an ANGEL. Twisting some verse of Paul's cannot change that fact. (1 Timothy 3:16) Indeed, the sacred secret of this godly devotion is admittedly great: ‘He was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, appeared to angels, was preached about among nations, was believed upon in the world, was received up in glory.’ This is talking about Jesus and NOT God. How can God be declared righteous? By whom? How did God appear to angels? Is this following simple statement so repugnant to accept. 'No man has SEEN God at ANY TIME.' - 1 John 4:12. Twisting some scripture to make Jesus into God cannot override this simple TRUTH. Jesus was NEVER God. Not at ANY TIME. With no malice intent. If people do not know who a son is, they should not live in a real world.

@@jimjuri6490 The first century heretical group were the Gnostics. They believed that every thing of the flesh is evil and everything of the spirit is good. So when they started to translate the Bible and they got to 1 Timothy 3:16, where it stated "God was manifest in the flesh," they reasoned how can God, being a spirit and good be manifest in the flesh, which is evil?" So instead of changing their beliefs, they decided to change the Bible. And there you have the beginning of the corrupt Bible being printed. In Isaiah 6:1>In the year that King Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. God's forming man and animals out of the dust and Eve out of Adam's rib indicates the visible presence of God in the days of re-creation. (Gen 2:7, 19-25). According to Gen 2:21, the Lord God "took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof," which would surely require His presence with Adam at that time.

@@jimjuri6490 Adam and Eve saw God in visible form after they had sinned, and hid themselves from Him, "amongst the trees of the garden" because "they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden." (Geen 3:18-19). They could not hide behind a tree from God in His invisible presence which is everywhere.

What did Jesus mean when he prayed to God and requested: (John 17:22) I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one. All Jesus' True Disciples being ONE. Surely, a person cannot claim to be a Christian and not be one with other Christians in beliefs and actions. The question is 'Who is Jesus' ONE UNITED body of FOLLOWERS today? They should be actively fulfilling Matthew 24:14.

Christ unites when man concedes and accepts John 14:6. Man inevitably, through arrogance or ignorance or a combination of both, divides the body of believers through traditions, cultures, and human errors. By avoiding semantic wars, denominational disputes, and adhering to the KJV, it is possible for ALL believers to worship as one. Godspeed pilgrim.

@@jimjuri6490 In the Old Testament. Jehovah declared that He would not share His glory with another. Yet, in John 17:5, Jesus shared His Fathers glory before the world began. Please explain.

@@vadouis-rt3of : Jesus as an angel held the position of Archangel prior to God sending him to become Jesus. It was this position and the glory that went with it that Jesus wanted God to RESTORE. Note Jesus' words: (John 17:4, 5) I have glorified you on the earth, having finished the work you have given me to do. 5 So now, Father, glorify me AT YOUR SIDE WITH THE GLORY I HAD alongside you before the world was. Jehovah God's glory is unmatched. Others are GIVEN positions of glory BY GOD. In prayer to his God Jehovah, Jesus said: (John 17:22) I have GIVEN THEM THE GLORY THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME, in order that THEY MAY BE ONE JUST AS WE ARE ONE. The THEM would refer to the Apostles and disciples of Jesus. Jesus shares his God given glory with his disciples. One fact become obvious from Jesus' plea to God, Jesus was NEVER God. Else, he could have restored his glory by himself. I hope the above helps.

the trinity wasnt a doctrine until 325 years after Jesus. The doctrine was not around or believed by the early Christians . Jesus never claimed to be greater than his father John 14:28 .. and he is sitting at the right hand of his father until the time comes to judge the earth Romans 8:34 .. The bible says in James 1:13 God cannot be tempted.. JESUS was tempted .. If you google the origin of the cross and do a study from it.. you will find the truth.. The holy spirit is Gods power not a indivisual .. and if it was a person.. why doesnt the Holy spirit have a name.. Gods name is Jehovah..Jesus name is Jesus .. but no name for the holy spirit.. WHy.. dont make sense... Jesus name means.. JEHOVAH IS SALVATION .. the bible says that God would call out a people for his name.. Thus why Jehovahs Wittnesses.. I would love to answer any questions you have

JWs believe more in the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit than any Trinitarian. I suggest you discuss it with them.

I am not a Jehovah’s Witness. But I do not believe in the trinity. Even Trinitarian teachers don’t know how to explain it. The trinity says Jesus is co-equal with God the father. So here are 2 questions. Why would Jesus use a father son relationship to explain his association with this being. And question 2. Why would Jesus hand over the kingdom to his father after he has accomplished his goal set out by the one who sent him. John 20:17 (NIV) Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” 1 Corinthians 15:24 (NIV) Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 1 Corinthians 15:27-28 (NIV) 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z6yFhMKS3NawlJ8.htmlsi=SbROzNSTrTnRM9h_

The ‘cross’ is pagan; read the book ‘ history of the Cross’ by Henry Dana Ward… it’s part of sun worship. The Bible uses the word ‘stauros’ for the device Jesus died on. Look it up anywhere…. the word means ‘stave’, pole, stake, fence post. The Romans used many methods of death, and sometimes hung thousands of people on one day; they wouldn’t have wasted trees by using two for each person. Interestingly, two used iron nails were found in the ossuary of the actual high priest in Jerusalem, Caiaphas.

And what may we ask will you be able to teach a JW? Maybe that an IMMORTAL God lost his immortality by getting killed? People who think they can take on JWs using the Bible generally end up becoming one. Just something to think about.

Jesus has only ONE UNITED GROUP of Disciples. They are involved in: (Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

As we have said above, I also now say again, Whoever it is that is declaring to you as good news something beyond what you accepted, let him be accursed. (NWT). Did the apostle Paul teach the disciples in Galatia that Jesus Christ would return in 1914 and set up a visible organization with headquarters in Brooklyn, New York? If not, then the Watchtower leaders' "good news" is "something beyond" what the Galatians accepted-placing them under God's curse for teaching another gospel.

@@vadouis-rt3of : Paul and the others were used by God to give prophesies that were included in the Bible. Did they understand these prophesies. Apparently not. Daniel asked the angel to explain what the prophesies he was writing were about. What was the response? Daniel 12:8 Now as for me, I heard, but I could not understand; so I said: “O my lord, what will be the outcome of these things?” 9 Then he said: “Go, Daniel, because the words are TO BE KEPT SECRET and sealed up UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END. Philippians 1:9 And this is what I continue praying, that your love may abound still more and more with accurate knowledge and FULL DISCERNMENT; Jesus appointed a Governing Body as he promised at Matthew 24:45-47 to keep his followers awake. It was a NEED TO KNOW for Jesus' followers The question people should be asking is: Did Jesus' disciples ever go round trying to show that Jesus was God? JWs are Jesus True and Only Disciples carrying out God's Will in these last days. Who else fits this prophecy. (Matthew 24:9) “Then people will hand YOU over to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be hated by all the nations on account of my name. To be hated by ALL NATIONS Jesus' Disciples (JWs) must be active in ALL NATIONS. JWs are fulfilling: (Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to ALL THE NATIONS, and then the end will come.

@@jimjuri6490 only a person who believes in this particular sect of Christianity would attempt to defend them, so I will ask if you are a current member of this religion?

Listening to second hand biased information will be a fulfilment of: (2 Timothy 3:13) But wicked men and impostors will advance from bad to worse, misleading and BEING MISLED. Just an observation.

As to John 17:3. If Jesus' reference to the Father as "the only true God" were meant to exclude the Son from deity, then the same principle of interpretation would have to apply to Jude 1:4 where Jesus Christ is called "our only Owner and Lord" (NWT). This would have to exclude the Father from Lordship and ownership. Yet, JW speak of the Father as "the Lord Jehovah," even though Jude 4 calls Jesus our "only" Lord. And the Holy Spirit is called "Lord" at 2 Corinthians 3:17. Obviously, then, neither use of the word "only" is exclusive with reference to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus' being called our "only" Lord does not rule out the Lordship of the Father and the Holy Spirit and the Father's being called the "only" true God does not exclude the Son and the Holy Spirit from deity.

@@jimjuri6490 When Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD, the true Christians went north to Antioch were copies of the Bible were made. The Christian heretical group known as the Gnostics went to the intellectual center of the world at that time: Alexandria, Egypt. They believed that everything of the spirit was good and everything of the flesh was evil. So when they started to copy the Bible and got to 1 Timiothy 3:16 where it said that God was manifest in the flesh, they reasoned "How can God, being a spirit and good be manifest in the flesh?" So instead of changing their beliefs, they changed the scripture instead. They produced the false New Testament Bibles. There is no mystery of godliness if this refers to Jesus Christ. However, it fits in nicely when Jesus Christ told His disciples tat he who seen me has seen the Father. Isaiah did see the Father. See Isaiah 6:1-5.

Wouldn't the brainwashing be applied to those who are made to believe that an IMMORTAL God whom no human can SEE and continue to live on (Exodus 33:20) managed to change his form and got himself killed by his own creation? Thereby losing his immortality forever?

Unsurprisingly the same parroted tropes of truth mixed with untruths.

You are completely wrong about all of it, you are just echoing the biased hatred the churches have been spewing for centuries. Christendom's false teachings will lead to complete destruction during the tribulation exactly as is prophesied, that is a fact you have never understood.

They dont, they believe Jesus became King in 1914, ruling from heaven.

God created the HEAVENS (Gen 1:1). God wasn't homeless until he created heaven. HEAVENS are the spinning objects in the Universe. These were not created on the first day. The First day is to do with preparing the EARTH for human habitation. Hope this clears things. Always check.

@@jimjuri6490 what on earth has that go to do with the price of butter. Are you ok mentally?

Over 400 translations read the same way as the NWT in that verse… it’s clear in the Greek. Jesus is ‘divine’ or ‘a god’, not ‘the God’.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not a cult!

@5225Quick I did warch the whole video. Jehovah witnesses are another Christian denomination!

@@jessie4696 Jehovah's Witnesses are always saying to examine your own religion. See their faults and short comings. But they do not so within their own Watchtower organization. Hypocrites! They know that what they may find will not be pleasant.

JWs would allow their children to die as opposed to receiving a blood transfusion. JW s would kick their children, spouses or parents out of their life for leaving the cult.-- Sick---obviously. Also, a bunch of cowards that would not join military but enjoy the freedoms protected by our military.

They do. But forgiveness follows repentance. Not everyone is repentant. It’s a fundamental of the Christian path. Great effort is put into bringing some to repentance.

And yet why would they use a Catholic book as their rule??? History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian doctrine and subsequent councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did?

@@srich7503 : Check history. The RCC tried to destroy the Bible. Anyone who dared to read one was burned. People may try to destroy God's Word. However, it will survive because God is its author.

None of the teachings from Watchtower can be found in scripture.

@@trudymarsh7138 The governing body is "Jehovah."

It depends if you are reading from a corrupt Bible or a true Bible. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The Bible tells us that even Satan and his demons are disguised as angels of light. Just something to think about.

Interesting well I believe they read new world translation But let's say your into king James version. Look up psalms 83..18 but I will say I take offense to anyone says they know everything for sure.And I do believe honest pure good intentions regardless of bad decisions .mistakes .Are the key to the true divinity anointing by God universe.spirtuale world.peace love respect to all.Gods son

@@charlesuhl7430 As to Psalms 83:18 (KJV): The fact of the matter is that using a name for God does not guarantee that the user knows God or is approved by Him. For example, when sinner Eve gave birth to her first son after being driven out from the Garden of Eden, she exclaimed, "I have produced a man with the aid of Jehovah" (Gen 4:1 NWT). Her use of God's name did not in any way prove that she had His approval. See Matt. 7:21-23.

Surely true but I would say that I have not met the perfect human being yet.so we will let God judge.i can tell you from my experience. When a human being resurrect the christ concouse. He will know he will witness as a 3 partie.and for me took a great deal of external pressure As if your life is on the line.i witnessed my annointing.and do pray being inperfect never baptized into any organization. But I felt and heard the holy spirit .and manifested the holy spirit.only bible that was thumped into me was new world translation.Peace love respect to all.God will be the judge not man.Gods son

@@charlesuhl7430 Please explain: Proverbs 31:9>Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. Jon 7:24>Judge not according to the appearance; but judge righteous judgment. When John the Baptist told King Herod it was not lawful to have his brother's wife, was that not judging? When Paul told the Greeks that their worship of statues was idolatry, was that not judging? When Stephen told the Jews that they murdered their Messiah, was that not judging? We can judge their sin if it is done righteously. We cannot condemn, but we as Christians can judge.

Why? At least they would be among the survivors. Rev 7:9,10,14. Is it: "If I am not going to live, why should others' scenario? Matthew 10:34 Do not think I came to bring peace to the earth; I came to bring, not peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to cause division, with a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 Indeed, a man’s enemies will be those of his own household. One or a few in a family will embrace the TRUTH. Others will oppose them.

At least you're dad is allowed to wear a beard now and your mom can wear slacks, like normal people. So glad they were given permission. Watchtower, I mean, Jehovah is so dignifying of his people.

Hello, God bless you! It's often hard when family members cling onto religious ideologies. My Pastor, who was formerly a JW and now a Christian still has his parents with a tight grasp on their religion. Please, do NOT ever stop praying to God for their release from there. Religion does NOT save, only Jesus Christ can. It may appear that nothing occurs when we pray, but God is truly at work. Regarding religious sects of any kind, there's a methodical way which the leaders entrance their followers into scaring them to not leave. You'll often hear JW twisted version on how they're the only saved ones by misquoting the Book of Revelation which actually refers to the Isrealites as it LITERALLY states (this is separate from salvation). Keep praying, don't give up. Pray that God may open their eyes, mind and hearts, so that they can see and understand with their own eyes and mind the truth. God is faithful and is love. Though He will not force them to change (free will), He will reach out to them b/c of your prayer to Him. In your prayer, you'll also witness God topple over anything and anyone who attempts to stop your parents from being able to leave. At the end, however, it's their choice. But, pray and pray so that God still gives them the opportunity. I was raised Catholic and later came TRULY to Christ and became a Christian. I saw family members who were devout idolaters in the Catholic Religion repent and come to Jesus Christ and throwing away the chains of their religion. Men and women in their seventies, eighties and nineties. Even after a lifetime of religion, my family's prayers were answered and they came to Christ, becoming a Christian - free of religion and coming to know Jesus Christ. That is my testimony of many. If God did that with my grandparents and great aunts, will He not do the same, in love, with your parents? He will, for He hears our prayers and His ears attentive to the words we speak to Him. Don't lose faith. God bless you!

@@Man.of.God30 : Does this reply indicate that Roman Catholics re not Christians? Since it is the oldest church, how can breakaways who call themselves Protestants be any true church? How many True Churches are there?

​@@jimjuri6490 I care not, nor does it affect me that the Roman Catholic religion is divided and fragment into subcategories. I'm a Christian, not a Protestant. The Christian Church was first, the Catholics came later. It's in the Bible - you don't know this? "And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch." (Acts 11:26).

@larysnw418 You prove my point that JW sect is a cult. How is that, according to you, they're the only ones who "evangelize"? I, as a Christian, go out an evangelize, both in person and online. When we evangelize, we share the gospel of Christ. We don't affirm a relgion, for that was NOT what Jesus Christ taught nor did He specify to follow a specific religion. Humanity creates religion and sects. I've had one singular pair of older men once knock on my door that were JW. They were unable to explain to me their own doctrine and I had to correct them on various points they were making, starting with not adding books to the Bible which we know is wrong to do, according to what the Apostle John said in the Book of Revelation. The Roman Catholic Church believe and affirm that they're the correct and "holy" church of God. Why should people believe JW over them? It's the same nonsensical, brainwashing ideology that is presented in all religions. Religion does NOT save, only Jesus Christ can. To distinguish which ministry or church truly follows God, you have to review the doctrine they teach and what JW teach is antibiblical. So, how then do you conclude that they're right? It doesn't make sense. The Bible verses you shared don't actually tell me anything to support your position. Most especially to a Christian like me who DOES evangelize. If JW go around knocking from door to door to share twisted doctrine, how does the edifiy? Even if they spoke the truth, does their work save them? If your conclusion is that b/c they go out and preach that makes the real one, you're sorely mistaken! In other words, which I rarely express in this manner but fits here in this discussion: get off your high horse, JW are not the only ones who go out to preach. And, more importantly, they're not the one's preaching truth. Frankly stated, JW don't evangelize. They're brainwashed into thinking they do, but seek to indoctrinate, by teaching doctrines and commandments of men as their version of the gospel. Truly, you haven't realized it?

@larysnw418 If all scripture is breathed of God and we both agree that the Word of God is the standard by which everything is measured, why have Jehovah’s Witnesses changed the standard in the NWT? Rather than conforming their beliefs to Scripture, they have changed Scripture to conform with their beliefs. The New World Translation is unique in one thing - it is the first intentional, systematic effort at producing a complete version of the Bible that is edited and revised for the specific purpose of agreeing with a group’s doctrine. I could cite example after example that change core doctrines of the faith that the apostles held to, and i won't even go into the many false prophecies where soon after lots of JW's left because they recognized the falsehood. The most widely used Bible translations; KJV, NKJV, NASB, ESV, NIV have a range of 50 to 130 Bible scholars that worked for years with sometimes up to 16 translators per translation, having the main goal of bringing the original manuscripts to English while preserving the accuracy of the original texts. Sadly, and this documented, the JW organization had a total of just 4 people documented involved in their own translation. Former members of the Governing Body of the JW organization have identified the members of the committee as Nathan H. Knorr, Frederick W. Franz (being the principal translator), George D. Gangas, and Albert D. Schroeder. There is a reason why the most credible bible websites in the world do not even offer the JW bible as an option to read on their website, because bible scholars that know greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic do not view it as credible. The standard by which everything is measured against must be the unchanged Word of God.

@larysnw418 As to Matt. 6:9, Jesus taught his disciples to pray to "our Father," not to Jehovah God. He said "You must pray, then, this way: 'Our Father.'

@larysnw418 The point is that Jesus Christ never called His Father "Jehovah." JW's claim that they are the true religion and one of those reasons is that they used the name Jehovah in referring to the Father. Yet, Jesus Christ, whom true believers follow, never did that. Understand?

​@vadouis-rt3of Yk ppl discovered the name "YHWH" which has no vowels and only consonant words? I advise you to research that and find out why we call our God "Jehovah" because people translated it to "Yahweh" which equaled to jehovah. Is Yahweh and Jehovah the same? Its preface states: "the distinctive Hebrew name for God (usually transliterated Jehovah or Yahweh) is in this translation represented by 'The Lord'. Your correct Jesus never called his father "Jehovah" but in his time people discovered the name "YHWH" and did deep research to find its vowels and to translate it. Which they found the name "YAHWEH" .

They know the real facts, only those who worship JEHOVAH will survive Armageddon and live in the Millennium when the entire earth will worship only Jehovah. Deal with it.

How do you see that? Try reading it in Greek.

@@MandellhouseIt's same in Koine Greek, Septurgiant

1. “In the beginning”… God didn’t have a beginning. Psalm 90;2 2. “The Word was WITH God”… it says it twice in case you missed it! 3. “The Word was with THE God (ho theos)… 4. “…and the Word was divine” (this second mention of theos is anarthrous, it lacks the definite article ‘the’, so decent translations use expressions such as ‘divine’, ‘a god’, ‘godlike’… there are over 400 translations that read that way, including the top scholarly ones.

He knows more than you (or myself)… and you need to see the bigger picture; this is what is preached from the Bible by JW’s.

@@Mandellhouse Yes, I understand that JW's preach this - that's why I challenged it. It's got nothing to do with knowledge or seeing a bigger picture and everything to do with logic. If you accept that both God and evil exist, then this God CANNOT be 1. All powerful and 2. All knowing and 3. Benevolent. These three properties are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. I explained the logic behind this, but if you believe this logic is flawed, then please point out the flaw.

Not necessary. Jesus did say that accusations against his True followers would be based on lies. Matthew 5:11 “Happy are you when people reproach you and persecute you and LYINGLY say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake. Most of what these videos spew are made up stuff. People who want to see the downfall of JWs would lap these up. Truth is irrelevant to them.
