@@ripcord8738 I was initially referring to their failed Armageddon predictions but now in retrospect I don't believe anything that comes from that organization.

@@InvisibleJesus1919Sir, God wants you and me to be safe. JW are warning people about Armageddon. God is not slow. The apostle Peter wrote: “Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.” (2 Pet. 3:9) He has set his deliverance of mankind as due to occur in this generation. (Luke 21:32) God, with all power in heaven and earth, is in no necessity to make promises he cannot fulfill. One of the apostles of Jesus Christ said, ‘God cannot lie.’ And the prophet Isaiah wrote: “Trust in Jehovah, you people, for all times, for in Jah Jehovah is the Rock of times indefinite.” -Titus 1:2; Isa. 26:4. 10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. 11 But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. ( Psalm 37:10-11 ) Daniels prophecy mention that in the very last days the worlds most powerful country would be divided and it’s happening right now. (Dan. 2:41-43) 41 “And just as you saw the feet and the toes to be partly of clay of a potter and partly of iron, the kingdom will be divided, but some of the hardness of iron will be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with soft clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 Just as you saw iron mixed with soft clay, they will be mixed with the people; but they will not stick together, one to the other, just as iron does not mix with clay.

Appreciate you taking a look, thank you!

My first response is Eph.4:4-6. The bible makes it clear that there's only one true religion so, actually, anyone that professes Christianity and takes it seriously, should be willing to defend their faith by using the Bible. JWs believe that they're the true religion. I'm an ex Catholic(now a JW). I've researched other beliefs and that's the conclusion that I've come to. That explains why we don't accept pamphlets or other literature.

@Ripcord I understand. We also believe there in one faith, one baptism. And the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes it's the true church restored church that Jesus Christ has placed on Earth and set up beforeascendingback to heaven. In 1 Thessalonians 5:21 It says, "Prove all things; hold fast that which is should we not test our beliefs and to know it is true in what we believe in. We can also test other beliefs and if they are good why not hold fast. We believe every church has some truth and good in them. Therefore I don't mind going to other religions and seeing the good in it. It test my own faith, and most of the time, it makes my faith stronger. In our 13 article of faith, it reads. 13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these thing. I'm also an ex catholic

As I understand it.. they do not use the King James Version Bible.. They do not worship Jesus Christ as the son of God.. They do not get Baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. They get Baptized in the name of Jehovah.. and they only worship Jehovah.

Nebucanezzar's dream was a waking dream or vision. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that God's prophets were given these divine "dreams" from Jehovah as it foretells or warns of a future event pertaining to God's new Kingdom being ushered in by Jesus Christ's rule. Because God's Kingdom is foretold through the prophets, Nebucanezzar's dream is emphasized among Jehovah's Witnesses as foretelling the events surrounding the time of Jesus Christ's rule beginning in 1914 as Satan was thrown out of heaven. Paul, the last living apostle to have witnessed Jesus Christ's physical ascension to heaven, wrote letters to the congregations explaining Jesus Christ's resurrection. In the book of Revelations, the apostle John who also witnessed Jesus' physical body ascending to heaven, accounts of further visions pertaining to the political and religious conditions of the world leading up to Armageddon or God's Great War that will rid the earth of Satan and the demons. Babylon the Great is both a physical place and a figurative place that Jehovah's Witnesses describe as "false religion" therefore any religious entity that does not worship Jehovah is considered false religion according to the Scriptures. Rather than speculate during worship, Jehovah's Witnesses encourage everybody in attendance to closely examine the Scriptures through a personal Bible study.

Hi Jennefer May I just say as an ex witness and previous Protestant church goer that ALL religions are man made and all have their own ideas and chosen doctrines, all have leaders who pass on these beliefs to their members. We should not follow any man or indeed woman as there seem to be many female clergy today. Prayer, scripture, faith and love is what we need 🙏🏻

Thanks for the plug and, yeah, it's not easy but it's no surprise.(John 15:18-20)

hello Tim. Well I’m a Jehovah’s Witness and they won’t have any issue about you going to another Church because we are use to people we meet on our door to door work attending their own church. We take the position that we are Gods only earthly Channel. I might as well put that out there. In the bible Jesus foretold an apostasy would take place after him. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 “Let no one lead you astray* in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction.“ From the 4th century AD Christian religion diverted from the teachings of the bible and absorbed pagan beliefs ultimately creating hybrid teachings that don’t accurately reflect bible teaching. The immortality of the soul and hellfire just a few examples. So we welcome people from any religion to join us. But we are trying to get them to stop paying attention to teachings of men since that’s all you will get at other churches since they are all mens channels. Only Jehovah’s witnesses are Gods earthly channel. So don’t feel bad, but please, come visit our Kingdom Hall

@@cultfiction3865 thanks I appreciate your response! As a Latter-day Saint I'm a believer in a full and complete apostasy as well. I guess that belief is one of the things that motivates both of our faith traditions to reach out in proselytizing efforts, even amongst the various Christian denominaitons. I just know that when I've gone to people's homes, if they told me they were a part of another faith, I'd be interested in talking to them about what that tradition is, and finding common ground to build from. I didn't really feel same interest from the gentleman who I spoke with.

@@tvtimewithtim Yes I very much agree with you that the belief in an apostasy must have motivated both our groups to save people from the effects of this apostasy. Also Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel or we more commonly call it good news. So yes lots f common ground there. In fact of all the word religions, the only two I know of that do evangelise all over the world are Latter Day Saints and Jehovahs witnesses. A guy I spoke with that is a former evangelical actually said that although he doesn’t agree with some Jehovah’s Witness teachings or LDS, he admires the fact that they evangelise the way that they do. He admitted the other religions aren’t doing enough in that regard. So certainly quite a bit of common ground can be found in our groups brother

@@cultfiction3865 yeah it's definitely something some other Christians seem to admire about our groups. Of all the times I've had Jehovah's Wittnesses come to my door, this is the first time they've set a return appointment, so I'm excited to keep having dialogue. During COVID I did have phone calls and letters written to me as well, which was cool. You all definitely seem to try all the ways you can to spread the good news. I've always tried to be very nice when answering the door, since I know personally how awkward it can be cold contacting like that. In the past, they have all been content to just hand me a pamphlet and be on their way though, so I'm interested to see where this goes from here.

@@tvtimewithtim Good points and all Jehovahs Witnesses have some differences. Sometimes we will meet someone on the doors that wants to argue and some Jehovah’s witnesses will debate with them, while others will read into the motive and conclude that there is no sincere interest there. I’m sure you aren’t one of these people sir but I’m just highlighting the way that there is mileage within different Jehovah’s Witness personalities. Our main objective is to encourage people to look into their bibles and understand their bibles in a way that is tethered to reality. Not the reality created by any religious organisation but the reality that can be accurately called objective truth. We endeavour not to add or toe away anything from the holy word of God. I’d be interested in how you get on with these guys.

JWs who work Mon-Fri only go out Saturdays bc that's the only day the have available to do it. JW have people called Pioneers that used to devote 70 hours a month/840 hours a year to preaching. That was recently changed to 50 hours a month/600 per year. Anyways, they go out pretty much everyday.

@@astarajarvis9965 yeah, Mormon missionaries are out every day except 1 day per week (usually Mondays) for about 14 hours a day for 1.5-2years 🤷🏻‍♀️ so we were out way more than them which is why I let them take that door haha

@@Amandaaa2244 that shows true dedication for sure. Jehovah's Witnesses are required to preach always. There's not a set duration for when the quota is filled. If you are a witness and you stop preaching then you become "inactive" and are considered spiritually weak. So your "mission" would begin shortly before you were baptized, or if you were raised a JW as soon as you could talk and give a presentation, and it wouldn't end until you died. Even elderly JWs who are unable to walk out in the ministry will do "telephone witnessing" i.e. being a telemarketer for the lord, or at the very least to preach to their caretakers and doctors in order to remain active.

@@astarajarvis9965 oh yeah we promote sharing the gospel from the time you’re baptized or find the gospel (lots of talk of “share the gospel,” “let your light shine, etc.), but yes, 87 hours a week of missionary work is hard to surpass as a “normal person” 😂

Its funny when exclusivist religions get themselves into these kinds of odd technicalities. I'm pretty sure the date of the fall of Jerusalem was fairly well documented by the time of Russell.

Well all that matters is that we’re following the Lord Jesus Christ who is the First and the Last who was dead and now lives forevermore Revelation 1:17-18 Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will have forgiveness of sins and eternal life forevermore with the Lord Jesus Christ. When we have the wrong Jesus ( Michael ) then we’re wrong for all eternity The correct Jesus is where two or more come together in Jesus name there Jesus will be in our midst ( whether in New York or Dublin) Omnipresent is a quality of God Only Choose life Choose the Lord Jesus Christ forevermore as king of kings and Lord of Lords as our good Shepherd and the light of the world Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will have forgiveness of sins and eternal life forevermore with the Lord Jesus Christ forevermore

Also, it'd not matter if one denomination wished to believe their King was somehow ruling a bit longer/shorter. Who cares right? However, they changed their "prophecy interpretation" multiple time, over 140 years. So it's constantly moving goalposts while also claiming "we are God's people".

Are you a JW?

@@ripcord8738 former JW.

Yes, it's almost impossible to really know the JW religion in one meeting. Almost everything they do has an apparent side and then the real side. Often, someone is so taken by the apparent side, that they don't mentally and psychologically acknowledge the real side until they are already committed. Then, backing out of the religion can be an entire nightmare in itself. Ironically, spoken as being "a loving arrangement of Jehovah."

Yes, definitely. Initially, was very intimidated where it felt like a college course and you hadn't studied! After awhile, started to see some of the answers from the church was essentially rephrasing the Watchtower readings. Still, was still so confused not knowing what everything entailed.

JWs are the true religion so their meetings aren't an open forum or "educational participation" So, yes, it is a "demonstration of agreement" with the material being discussed. I have no idea what you mean by "heavily directed and restrained" or "parrot" or "paraphrase". I don't parrot or paraphrase anything.(I know what the words mean. What I'm asking is, what are you implying?)

@@ripcord8738 The True Religion? Where do you get that from? Sounds a bit self-righteous and narcissistic. Perhaps even cultic. How can you make such a claim? Better yet, how can you make such a claim and hide behind an alias?

They are in darkness and as Jesus said. They know not what they do

You're implying that (1) you frightened them or (2) you proved them wrong, but there are other explanations. Did you tell them not to come back? (if someone asks not to be called on again, they'll honor that request) They may have called back but you weren't home or you didn't hear them knock. How long has it been since they last called? They call on hundreds of homes. "Never" is a long time. You also said that "they" never came back. Have other JWs called?

"Why are we as a Human race having another resurgence of the Nazi ideology. " What are you referring to exactly?

The recent uprising of Nazi hate demonstrations as reported in the U.S.. Of course, all conflict and war was foretold as describing the times of the end, therefore that is actually Bible prophecy and good news.

Greetings from England. I have a question I hope you can answer. Do the 7 trumpet blasts of Revelation sound in chronological order?

Hey Tori, Thanks for checking out the channel! To answer your question - first time doing this several years ago, I was falling away from faith and felt it mattered to give The Church (as an institution) one last heave-ho by going all-in by trying a new one each week. It was life-changing. For this journey, lots of different reasons (worship, faith, curiosity, sense of adventure, just to name a few). With this visit as a newcomer, was quite surprised how different it is compared to other churches.

False christianity still focused on the baby Jesus.. True Christians view him as the bible directs.. If Yeshua/ Jesus - is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, which political groups and leaders will he allow to rule with him? Hint- Daniel 2:44- [And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.] Revelation 19:11-16 [And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”] Hallelujah- Praise Jah* you people!

That is one teaching I do also agree with but so so many of their other teachings cause harm to their members. It’s sad.

@@amydurga8448 All our teachings can be backed up by scripture which is what we follow. The difference between us and other religions is pretty much what you said. If something can be considered harmful such as shunning or refusing blood transfusions, despite biblical commands, other religions will disobey those aspects. As Jehovah’s witnesses we obey everything, without regard to whether it can be considered harmful in the context of a modern world. Remember that when King Saul was commanded to strike down everything that breathed in Amalek, you could argue that this command was also harmful since kids would have also been struck down. But when King Saul disobeyed part of that command he lost his kingship for been disobedient. My point is that it’s not about what we consider harmful from a subjective position. It’s about been obedient to the bible and apart from JWs no other religion is obedient. It’s just cherry picking for them

@@cultfiction3865 JW’s do an amazing amount of cherry picking themselves. Like how the scripture in Rev that says 144,000 will go to heaven is interpreted as a literal number, but the context of that very same verse is ignored. Go read it and the context and tell me they don’t cherry pick and decide which thing a are literal and which things aren’t to suit them. Massive amount of contortions are required to prove some doctrines, where as reading in context is not done on the regular. When you are reading your publications, notice how many times they say undoubtedly or likely or other weasel words. Then follow those “proof” scriptures listed and read in context. They are often not really the proof they claim.

@@amydurga8448 The number 144 000 is contrasted with a great multitude which no man was able to number. This proves that their are two groups very clearly. It would be a contradiction to give a specific numerical figure such as 144000 then go on to compare that with a multitude which cannot be numbered, to claim they are the same group of saved people. Clearly we are dealing with two distinct groups of people. Also the bible is clear that those of the 144 000 have been bought from the earth. Revelation 14:3 “And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to learn the song except the 144,000 who had been purchased from the earth.” What we teach is what the bible also teaches. It’s not something we have sneakily cooked up to mislead people. The context is obvious for these bible verses. It’s Christendom that cook up deceptive interpretations not us. It wouldn’t suit Christendom’s religions to admit to there been a little flock because most of them make the immortal soul a central teaching, despite that been in exact opposition to what the bible actually says.

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. WHO IS the ONE LEADER that we have? Jesus. Now, that same exact Hebrew word was used for Daniel 12:1 which is used for Michael the Archangel. So are you saying there are MANY LEADERS now? JESUS IS Lord! His Lordship was MADE - See Acts 2. Who is the Sovereign Lord? He is different from Jesus as mentioned in Acts 4:24, 26, 30 There is no term God of gods or Creator or Maker used for Jesus.Acts 4:24 - who is NOT Jesus and who is called Sovereign Lord - "one accord to God and said: “Sovereign Lord, you are the One who made the heaven and the earth " Who is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from Jesus who is the Anointed and the Sovereign Lord's SERVANT as Acts 4:30 mentioned "through the name of YOUR holy servant Jesus.”" Acts 4:26 - one against Jehovah and against his ANOINTED one. GOD IS NOT A LITERAL TORTURER. GOD is LOVE. He only gives eternal life to those who exercise faith in him and his Son (John 3:16, John 14:1) and NOT TO WICKED people. The Wicked will VANISH AND WILL BE NO MORE. Psalms 37:20 How many is Jehovah? Trinitarians say there are THREE Jehovah. What does the Bible say? There is ONE JEHOVAH and NOT THREE JEHOVAH. Deut 6:4. - “Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah WHO IS THE STAR IN NUMBERS 24:17? That is Jesus. It is the same Hebrew word used in Job 38:7 for the morning stars. So as Jesus is called THE BRIGHT morning star (REV 22:16) so also are the other morning stars(angels). So Jesus is the CHIEF Angel with the archangel's voice (1 Thes 4:16). Jesus is called Prince of Peace in Isa 9:6 and the original Hebrew word for Prince means PATRON ANGEL which is the same Hebrew Word used for Michael the archangel in Daniel. Jesus is the High Priest and the High Priest is NOT GOD himself. GOD DOES NOT WORSHIP HIMSELF : John 4:22 -You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews. Jesus Included himself IN WORSHIPPING THE FATHER. ONLY A CREATION WILL WORSHIP GOD. If the holy Spirit is a PERSON then now you have MANY PERSONS IN ONE GOD. REV 5:6 - seven eyes, and the eyes mean the seven spirits of God.SO NOW YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL SEVEN PERSONS IN GOD. Who is the cause of Salvation? Both GOD and the lamb are saviors, Rev 7:9-10, even Jesus needed to be saved by the Father from death as the Father is the SOURCE OF LIFE AND SALVATION , Hebrews 5:7 & John 5:26 - THE FATHER GAVE THE SON LIFE. Does the Bible called Jesus MADE AND BORN? Yes! JESUS is the Messiah and a CREATION BY GOD! He is called “BORN OF/FROM GOD”. (1 JOHN 5:18) Hebrews 1:5 showed that Jesus was MADE/BORN (orig Greek-gennaw). Also it says "he will become my son" Notice, FUTURE TENSE, WILL, so before that the SON DID NOT EXIST. If you are BORN AND MADE then you are a creation. , Hebrews 1:5 mentions I WILL BECOME HIS FATHER, so Jesus relationship with the Father has a BEGINNING, When ? it was TODAY. TODAY implies a beginning. When did Jesus become SON? Even before Jesus became human he is called SON , Prov 30:4 Was Jesus GIVEN LIFE? He is called the firstborn and beginning of the CREATION BY GOD (COL 1, Revelation ) Also john 5:26 mentions that the FATHER GAVE JESUS, THE SON, with LIFE. If Jesus was given LIFE OR EVEN ETERNAL LIFE, then Jesus does not have life or eternal life before those were given to him. Notice, the Father was NOT given life. JESUS was MADE LORD (ACTS 2:36).JOHN 6:57 - Jesus Said “ I LIVE BEC OF THE FATHER” SO JESUS’ LIFE was dependent on the Father and his SOURCE OF LIFE/Eternal Life IS THE FATHER as John 5:26 states as well. 1john 5:1 - Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born from God,+ and everyone who loves the one who caused to be born loves him who has been born from that one . who is this that HAS BEEN BORN from that one? That is Jesus! 1 John 5:18 - Jesus is called BORN FROM GOD JESUS IS BORN FROM GOD, 1 JOHN 5:18 - We know that everyone who has been born from God does not practice sin, but the one born from God* watches him, and the wicked one cannot take hold of him . WHO is the ONE BORN FROM GOD that watches us and protects us and who does not sin? JESUS CHRIST! HAS ANYONE SEEN GOD? NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD and if they see GOD's face THEY WILL DIE. Jesus was seen by many and they didn't DIE so Jesus Is Not The Almighty God. Jesus is called SON even before coming to earth as human. Exo 33:20 states "“You cannot see my face, for no man can see me and live.”" NO MAN CAN SEE ME, notice ME , you think ME IS NOT LITERAL? IT IS LITERAL "ME" WHO IS GOD. GOD IS FROM FOREVER: John 1:1 mentions the WORD WAS IN THE BEGINNING, so Jesus was LIMITED "IN THE BEGINNING" Unlike GOD who is FROM FOREVER (Psalms 90:2). Is "a god" a valid translation in John 1:1? Sahidic Coptic translation uses an indefinite article with the word “god” in the final part of John 1:1. The Greek used in the BIble does not have an indefinite article "a" so that's why you don't see the "a" in John 1:1, The Sahidic Coptic translation uses an indefinite article with the word “god” in the final part of John 1:1. again, john 1:1 about theos - Strong's Concordance theos: God, a god , so "a god" is a valid translation. "The NAS New Testament Greek Lexicon" defines theos as "a god" as well. so it is a valid translation. Also Thayer's Greek Lexicon also defines theos as "a god" so it is a valid translation Is Jesus the same as Jehovah? Jesus is the SON. Jehovah is Our FATHER (Isa 63:16). Even the trinity doctrine states the SON IS NOT THE FATHER, so Jesus is NOT JEHOVAH How many person is GOD? God said " I am God Almighty", The use of I am, means GOD is ONE PERSON. Do you use I am, me, myself, me alone for ONE LITERAL PERSON or THREE PERSONS? You only use those phrases for ONE literal person and NEVER FOR THREE PERSONS. Is Jesus described as a Morning Star like the Angels? Yes. Rev 22:16 - 16 “‘I, Jesus, sent my angel to bear witness to you about these things for the congregations. I am the root and the offspring of David+ and the bright morning star.’”+ JESUS IS THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR, Angels are also called morning stars in Job 38:7, so Jesus is the BRIGHT OR CHIEF OF THE ANGELS (archangel) as 1 Thessalonians 4:16 mentions. What does Firsborn means? So depending on the context the firstborn can be the chief, principal, or first in time or place or rank. Still though, when you use the firstborn with an OF, “firstborn OF”, because of the OF , that means the firstborn BELONGS TO THE GROUP, just like when you say firstborn of the sheep. The firstborn is a sheep. So Jesus belongs to the group of creation, firstborn of all creation. Jehovah is called GOD of gods, who are these gods? if you say that those are all false gods, then you are saying that GOD is like Satan as he is God of all false gods. Those gods exist, just like King of kings, those kings exist.

No, none of them believe they are going to heaven. They all have an "earthly" hope... resurrected to "paradise earth."

Oh wow! I didn’t know that. How odd and hopeless.

Hey Nicole! Thanks, I should clarify, as I cutout the full explanation while editing to cut down on time. My soft reference didn't do it justice. Anyway, with all the wars, famines, and disease - the continued use of the mask (to me as an outsider, anyway) felt like a continuation of the prophecy-is-being-fulfilled theme that the world is becoming worse. Other churches (minus those attended in liberal downtown cities) haven't required them. Felt odd to see the masks in one setting, then a five-minute drive down the street to an NFL stadium, and you could have 70,000 people packed in a stadium without the facial requirement.

@@52churchesin52weeks Hi love your experiment. The mask was just respect re COVID as a protection for any who felt unsure or unsafe

Calvary Tabernacle in Indianapolis, IN Fountain Square area would be a place to experience Oneness Pentecostalism for the first time.

Appreciate the recommendation! Very curious after skimming at it, especially one with the speaking in tongues.

@@52churchesin52weeks I have grown up Oneness and attended the Bible College connected with that church. They’ve had a recent remodel and the new pastor there has lead them into revival by God’s grace. Lots of water baptisms and people receiving the Holy Ghost. I currently attend Berea United Pentecostal Church in Berea, Kentucky- we’re smaller than them but you most definitely would be welcome anytime there as well. I think you would enjoy either place- come expecting a move of the Spirit and life transformation!

Your post is misleading, to say the least. The watchtower articles that are used as a basis for discussion, are based on bible truth. This includes all bible subjects. Before I go any further, JWs represent true Christianity exclusively. The purpose of that statement isn't to debate the truth of that assertion(if someone disagrees, I'd be happy to answer any questions they may have) but only in order for anyone reading this post, to understand the explanation and to clear up any misconception they may have about JWs. If someone answers a question that's unscriptural, it requires correction. JWs don't practice interfaith, nor do they believe in "private interpretation".(2nd Peter 1:20) There aren't two "sets of truth". Someone may choose to answer in their "own words"; in fact, that's encouraged but that's not an "interpretation". JWs don't "control" anyone. That's absurd. Are you disfellowshipped?

@@ripcord8738 you are responding like any active JW will do! I’m not disfelloshiped I sent my DS letter! I fell that if I continued there knowing all the CSA that the Watchtower hides and all the sexual abuser they covered I would have been like all of them, so I better left. You just have to watch the Australian Royal Commission Trial, more that 1000 CSA cases never reported to the authorities, plus all the lawsuits against the organization for the same problem all over the world! The JW organization has a policy that a brother shouldn’t report another brother to the police, plus on the CSA cases they ask the victims to present two witnesses, when have you seen that an abuser does the wrongdoing in front of witnesses? The other problem is the shunning, when a person committed a sin, nobody can talk again to that person, not even their own family, it can passed years and they don’t talk to that person, same thing is with all the person that had abandoned the organization, we lost all our family and friends! That shunning had been the caused of many people that had committed suicide. It is very difficult to loose your family that is still living. That is their love and they way they showed Jesus love!!! There’s more to say about “ this Christian Organization” but I don’t want to keep talking, he can do his investigation! Just checked the latest lawsuit in Pennsylvania and NY, where one of the person that was going to be arrested, took his own life! Just make your own investigation!!

@@ripcord8738What a load of crap.

Presently many people are leaving because they are hiding pedophelia.

Every denomination believes that they are the one true church. The Catholic Church has made this same claim since the first century AD. Any church that does not believe that they are the only ones teaching the truth would not exist. Why would anyone attend a church that claims NOT TO TEACH THE TRUTH?

Armageddon is imminent and they don't "love hearing of wars". That's absurd. JWs will answer any question you have with only the Bible. After you read this post, you can ask me anything you want and I'll answer you using only the Bible.

@@ripcord8738 the last time a JW elderly gentleman came to our door (pre Covid) - the first thing he asked me - "do you think we live in bad times?" I told him no - look we have clean water, we have jobs, we have food on the table, we have freedom of religion of choice. He then proceeded to say what about wars etc. I explained there always was and always will be. I am a devout Christian and live each day as my last as I do not know what tomorrow brings, I could have an accident, suddenly die etc. I told him I trust in the Lord Our God our Heavenly Father. I told him I will pray for him, and I still do, as he seemed like a very nice old man, but a very sad old man. Getting back to your answer - I studied with JW, been to their Kingdom Hall, saw how mothers smacked babies in the pray when they cried in the hall during their talks. None of my questions were answered, only with JW doctrine, when I said but "the bible said,...." JW lady said, oh I don't know, I have to check and get back to you - she never did. My mother's best friend is a JW and is a wonderful person, but never brings up the religion to my mum anymore as she told her if she wanted to be friends - then do not mention JW religion anymore, as my mum told her I don't ask you to come back to your Catholic faith (they are still great friends. My mum is a very devout Christian. We have to keep our eyes open and keep vigilant not be led astray from the truth. I belong also to a faith which claims to be the truth (not JW). All of them say the same. However, we will all be judged on judgement fairly. I put my faith and complete trust in my Creator and my heavenly Father.

@@ripcord8738 I have a question. Based on 2 John verses 9 and 10 Why do Jehovah's Witnesses shun people who still follow Jesus and are practicing Christians but have decided not to follow eight men in New York. ? We teach the doctrine of Christ and yet we are shunned. Christians are to love one another. I always say hello to my old friends when I see them at their literature cart but they ignore me. It's not kind. 😢

I was a JW for 30 years. They love bad news! Look up Anthony Morris’s comment when COVID started…he was ecstatic!

@@inapickle4971 Very sad is it not that they rejoice wars and death. I am Catholic and we are told we need to be ready at all times as we never know the hour or day, only God the Father knows. Basically, I try to live my life everyday as my last, as I never know when the I will be called, not due to war etc, but life here now.

If that happened in those days, why is the Church still broken into many sects? So as Christ's Body was Broken, the Church which is referred to as the Body of Christ is broken. So in the Last days when the literal fulfillment of these things come to pass There will be a flaming fire that leaves only the true doctrines behind, and so Christ's Body was resurrected by the fire and power of the Holy Ghost, so shall be the Churches made into one Church. Watch and pray and see that you DO NOT mock me on this matter, for you know not what kind of man you would deride. You can either Cling to Jesus or the Doctrines of your church. Chose this day who you will serve.

@@tranceemerson8325 the BODY which is the Christian congregation has many parts. Salvation we owe from GOD AND THE LAMB., Rev 7:9-10
