Do Christians really follow the Bible? Because they say the parts of the Bible is done away with breaking Deut 4:2 and Rev 22:19. So I ask again "Do Christians really follow the Bible?"
Q; J.W.s they make weekly pamplits, monthly and yearly books: So why can't they print a new bible?? The N.W.Translation Bible they us;( is Missing;) Matthew17:21 Matt.18:11 Matt.23:14 Mark7:16 Mark9:44 Matt.9:46 Mark11:26 Mark15:28 Luke17:36 Luke23:17 John5:4 Acts8:37 Acts15:34 Acts24:7 Acts28:29 Romans16:24 1 John5:7 ??
I have questions to ask you and please be honest about it. Now that you are no part of the organization can you truly say that this change has encouraged you to observe god's commandments more fully, as to retrain from things such as fornication, blood, participation in political matters, and saluting the flag? Has This improved your share in preaching the good new, and by good new i don't mean bashing at the organization whenever chance you get, but door to door preaching, conducting studies?
Like so many people who turn away from the truth this guy has no relationship with Jehovah. He disagrees with Jehovahs imperfrect organisation and thus turns away. His choice, but my love for Jehovah means I accept the Watchtower may make a mistake and continue to love God throughout.
@WatchtowerAddict - But if you don't follow all their man-made rules, or ask the wrong questions, the elders will meet with you and try to get you to change your ways. If you don't change, you can be disfellowshipped. Cut off from friends and even family. JW's live in fear, but God hasn't given true believers a spirit of fear. There is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. You can be set free from this cult. Ask God to reveal His truth to you.
No where in the bible does it refer to the trinity,that is a creation of the Holy See. Bibles have been translated over and over for political purposes and control of the masses according to catholic dogma. JW's translate from the original "Greek" text which are the oldest in existance to get the most relevant translation without the King James perversion of the greek translation. Witnesses try to get back to the "original" text before all the altercations placed by mans manipulative purposes.
@bachterberg - "JW's translate from the original "Greek" text..." You have to have "translators", to have a "translation". There is much data about the JW translation team, including a court record that shows the bogus translation abilities of JW leadership. Do a search on "accuracy of New World Translation". You will find many, trained in both Greek and Hebrew who give their opinions. Would you trust a used car salesmen or Consumer Reports? Which has more credibility?
@f8beenthere Show me in the original "Greek" texts that talk about the Trinity? I would like to see a source of the "Court Record" of the bogus translations. The Trinity is a Catholic Creation, along with "Hell" "Purgatory" and "The Cross."- Stauros - (star-ohs)
Originally thought to mean "cross" Literal meaning: a post or stake related to "Stauroo", which meant to "fasten." The cross represents the Trinity. Show me where it says the trinity exists in "Greek" text.
Just Kidding!! Just Curious if Raymond Franz wrote any comments about Matt 5:5? I am assuming he believed that mankind was meant to be on the earth, after all we are the epitome of Creation on earth. No other creatures are created in GODS image. Didnt he believe that the 144,00 was not a literal number, and that the Great Crowd were also to be in heaven? Who is to inherit the earth? Surely Jesus was not misleading people. Any thoughts?
They don't believe in the holy spirit... But how can you say Ur Gods witness and u don't have the spirit of truth? No believe in it? There are two sins u can't get forgiveness for.. self murder and blasphemy the holy spirit....
Ok if JW was really following Jesus and what. He taught.. then y make up Ur own bible and not go the holy bible? Then the new translation has changed over 148 times!! If it was Tru then y not stay the same?
EXGilMissionary, I think you are one of the most feared apostates. Your words and your presentations are VERY powerful. Thank you for making these videos. I know you have helped untold numbers of people in their journey. I want to affirm your powerful presence and talent. God Bless.
He formed his own religion because he discovered that the methodist churches doctrine was contrary to the scriptures and when he sincerely explained their mistakes to them to help them better understand they got jealous and turned against him which again is contrary to scriptures (love thy neighbour) he had no choice! And he is bound to make some mistakes as he is only human, as soon as they were realised they were rectified. PPl need to stop focusing on the negatives it's really sad!
@MrMikeymike1991 he hasnt formed his own religon. The religon that he follows was followed by chistians in the early years. So technically, they are not sects.
@MrMikeymike1991 The negatives are a reality, the "predictions" of the end of the world happening 4 times in the last 100 years, caused a lot of fear and panic among believers of the Society in the early stages. It's hard to overcome a repeated error especially when it comes to the whole "Fear Mongering" end of the world scenario. People panicked sold there property and prayed for salvation to a merciless Jehovah. That never happened 4 times. Those "False" predictions will hurt any society.
@MrMikeymike1991 - The religion started by Russell and others has changed a bunch, and is still changing. Which is correct? If Russell was wrong, what is his eternal destiny? Show me a verse that allows him to be wrong about Christmas, birthdays, worshiping Jesus, drinking, allows him (and others) to make false prophecies, and yet he can inherit Heaven.
I was raised as a JW too, I know what it is... For me it was just simple: at the very first place, does God exist? Nobody can prove he does and nobody can prove he doesn't. But are both questions equal? If I say God is in my noes. You say it it is impossible. I say but you can't prove he is not there so both questions are equal. You know that simple logic leads to: both questions are not equal and most likely the concept of a supreme invisible being is an invention of human imagination.
@naimamusique. The flying Spaghetti monster is real!!! Thats My claim. Can you disprove it with evidence. No!! Same goes for not just your god.but any god!! Does it mean its real?? Common sense says no! Trying to prove god exists with the bible is like trying to prove Superman exist with a comic book!!!!!
Jehovah's Witnesses proclaim God's name-Matthew 6:9,10. We proclaim His kingdom is coming to bring true peace to the world. JW's follow early disciples.Jesus said pray to His Father,OUR Father-Matthew 6:9,10. He always prayed to his God. YES, Jesus has a God, he said so repeatedly. Can Jesus be God and then pray to himself? READ Matthew 11:25, 14:19, 15:36, 26:26; Mark 1:35, 9:29; Luke 10:21, 11:1, 22:32; John 6:11,23, 13:3, 14:1,20, 20:17,31
What really concerns me is that JW's is based from a man who prophesized the end of the world and it never came true. How; then, can so many be openly deceived? "When God wills a thing, he say to it: 'Be, and it is." I agree with you. I told my brother about this very fact and he said: "Oh, well, we changed things in the Bible that corrected the other translation and we don't follow what Mr. Russle implemented anymore." Then if this were the case, he should see this is a false religion.
@GroundUnit8 We don't NEED to explain Gal. 5:19-21. REMEMBER, Jesus DIED for our sins? As long as we are repentant and left off the ungodly ways, and dedicate our new life to serving God, we are free of that sin.I didn't get what you were talking about before. I know that MOSES was brought up in the Egyptian way, and did a 180 degree turn, started to serve Jehovah, then is used as a 'leader' of God's people. Jesus went to people's houses and looked for ANYONE who would listen-Matthew ch.10.
Respond to this video... 21 envies, drunken bouts, revelries, and things like these. As to these things I am forewarning YOU, the same way as I did forewarn YOU, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s kingdom.
@GroundUnit8 what seems to be the problem? this text is self explanatory.(Galatians 5:19-21) 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct, 20 idolatry, practice of spiritism, enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, contentions, divisions, sects,
(2 Thessalonians 3:13-15) 13 For YOUR part, brothers, do not give up in doing right. 14 But if anyone is not obedient to our word through this letter, keep this one marked, stop associating with him, that he may become ashamed. 15 And yet do not be considering him as an enemy, but continue admonishing him as a brother.
GOD SAYS HE HAS A SON.Jesus said he's God's Son-Matthew 3:17,Mark 9:7,Psalms 2:7,Luke 9:35,Prov.8:22.DEMONS,expelled said he's Son of God-Luke 4:41.Matt.8:29, Mark3:11.Others said he's Son-John1:14,49,3:17,5:18,36,6:46,10:36,Mark15:39,Matthew 26:63,27:40. Hebrews10:29,4:14.An angel said he's Son-Luke1:35.Jehovah God is Jesus' God-John15:1,16:3,30,20:17, Matt.26:26,36-44,64,Mark15:34,Ephesians1:17.Son=Mediator-1Timothy 2:5,Heb.1:3,4,8:6,9:15,12:24, Romans1:4,8,9,Acts7:55,56.
Here is yet another essential aspect of how to pray. Jesus said: “No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) So Jesus is the means of our approach to the Father, Jehovah. Thus, Jesus told his followers to pray in his name. (John 14:13; 15:16) That does not mean that we should pray to Jesus. Rather, we pray in the name of Jesus, remembering that Jesus is the reason that we are able to approach our perfect and holy Father.
@ExGileadMissionary ITS RELEVANT BECAUSE IF THEIR DOING SOMETHING WRONG PRAYER WILL HELP ANYONE WHOSE HONEST ABOUT THE TRUTH TO SEE IF SOMETHING WRONG..AND AS I HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED FOR OVER 20YEARS I HAVE FOUND A FEW PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT ON POINT, BUT THE OVER ALL GROUP WAS FINE AND FOLLOWING THE SCRIPTURES..ALSO HOW DID YOU GET YOUR ONLINE NAME.?I KNOW THE BIBLE SAID THE LOVE OF THE GREATER NUMBER WOULD COOL OFF, I HOPE THIS DOESN'T MEAN YOU.
@ExGileadMissionary ALOT OF PEOPLE THINK I'M SHOUTING..I'M NOT I USE LARGE CAPS BECAUSE IT EASIER FOR ME THE Typing then RESIZING..IT JUST THE WAY I TYPE..AND I'LL LOOK AT THE LIST TO SEE IF I HAVE SEEN YOU..WHAT WERE YOU WEARING?
I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Gilead is one of the most honorable
priviledges a individual can have. I didn't even dream about it because my situation didn't allow me to do so. But Jehovah know that I wanted to and I loved him so much
even if I didn't. But to do something just to be closer to him because I wasn't blessed
with a head like your to teach but I hold so many beautiful treasure it is unbelievable. Not a Brother but I can say that JW teaches the only bible truth.
@ExGileadMissionary Look into Islam. We have the correct view of God's purpose. And the Correct teachings of Jesus. Islam makes complete sense and there is much information to support that. If you can look past your preconditioning you will see the truth. You also said you appreciate information so I will hold it against you until you tell mer you have read the Qur'an. Peace be with you friend.
@ExGileadMissionary, why do you say that God does not exist? I'm not challenging you on this. I believe He does and don't intend to stop believing that, but I'd sincerely like to know why you don't believe this anymore.
@TheWriterWalker You can believe whatever you wish, even in fictional characters such as Harry Potter, Santa Claus, Thor, and Yahweh. But I don't believe in such fictional characters due to lack of evidence that they are real.
@ExGileadMissionary, I know you get many requests and can't always know who is asking out of sincerity or who is doing so with the intent to attack your stance. I was one of the former.
@ExGileadMissionary - You can believe whatever you wish, even in fictional characters
did you ever meet abraham Lincoln, do you believe he was real then how do you know he was real what proof or evidence you have unless things you read from people from in history past wrote about them
@SANW2010 Look into Islam. We have the correct view of God's purpose. And the Correct teachings of Jesus. Islam makes complete sense and there is much information to support that. If you can look past your preconditioning you will see the truth. Peace be with you.
@IsaHamzaBilal WHEN I SAY ABSALOM ALAKIM..IT'S THE SAME AS SAYING PRAISE JAH YOU PEOPLE..YOU SIR ARE A CHILD OF ABRAHAM THROUGH ISMAEL..I WISH YOU WELL..PEACE..
@IsaHamzaBilal hello im a believer in Christ and his Word because he (Christ) changed my life from hate to love and ridden me of the burdens of sin. what version of the quran is the right one according to you?
@piqlol Well, my friend, thank you for asking that question. And if I might add, you sound sincere in this question. I appreciate people like you and you are the kind of people I like talking with. As to your question. My brother, we Muslims Qur'ans that were translated into MANY MANY languages, however we have only ONE version. If anyone ever tells you that Muslims have many versions then you can easily tell them thats a lie. Even religious scholars would tell you Muslims have 1 book.
@piqlol My friend, if you have anymore questions regarding Islam or comparative religion, you can always ask me. Now, do not get me wrong, I am NOT a scholar by any means. I do a lot of research myself. Would you believe me if I told you that Muhammed's name is in the Bible, except no one wants to believe it? Well, his name is there and I can prove it to anyone who wants to really find out. May the peace and blessings of Allah be with you also, brother.
This should be of Interset to JWs who have to explain how there so-called Bible got to be. If as they say NWT was "Translated fromGreek" then they should know that "kurios" is THE ONLY Greek word translated Lord...and here's the interesting part :"kurios" is translated in the New Testment in 3 ways lord,Lord and also as LORD...you see the JWs claim that the LORD all uppercase has to be "God Almighty" so if "kurios" is all 3 then the "Lord Jesus" is GOD ALMIGHTY in their book too !!! WOW !
I hope people are not taken in by the misinformation and subtle mind manipulation of this speaker. For accurate information feel free to investigate by going to the OFFICIAL Witnesses website watchtower d o t o r g or following the links on my channel to my forum (look on the left of the page). I can answer any questions.
@sunshineuk1965 Can you please specify what is the misinformation that this video contains? I will happily post a retraction if there is something incorrect.
@sunshineuk1965 The "official" website will only tell you what the WTS WANTS you to know, they will not tell you the truth. That is the dilemma. The WTS tells you to examine other religions to make sure you are in the right one, but if you examine the WTS, you can be disfellowshipped. They do not hold up to examination. Their own literature is their worst enemy, thats why it is so hard to access "old light" because it clearly shows contradiction, instead of illumination.
@sunshineuk1965 By the way, if a JW has questions about a particular religion, will they read the website provided by that religion, or only what the WT has to say about that particular religion. If you insist that you must only get info about a religion from that religion alone, you should stop getting your info about other religions from the WT, to be fair.
exgileadmissionary , thankyou for your reply , yes i agree with your last posting , religion has a lot to do with where you are born , you and i no doubt would of been good muslims if born in a muslim country , it also can serve as a support for those who cannot cope with the reality of life, i did not go to gilead , but did live for two years in a missionary home in png , i could write a book about that too. but wont, i have turned the page . jack
@MrJackv5 Unfortunately for the religious, the existence of a deity or the divine origin of a holy book cannot be proven. All religions have is the claim of the holy book, whether the Koran, Bible, or other, that the book was inspired by God. This is no proof, since competing holy books make the same unbelievable claim. I appreciate your honesty in sayong that you do not have the answer. That, in effect, is the claim of the atheist as well, that we do not know, but neither do you.
@ExGilead - Atheists say there is no god. Imagine a circle that contains all knowledge. How much of that knowledge do you have? An arrogant, or foolish person would say they know enough to say categorically that god doesn't exist. I take you as neither. I see a goodhearted person who has been burned by a religion. Just because your mom burned the biscuits once doesn't mean that you should never eat them again. You will find God when you search for Him with all your heart.
exgileadmissionary , i respect what you say , but i think its best we both agree to disagree, lets wait and see , wether there will be a second coming , or maybe we might meet at the time of the resurrection , lets have a good chat then , and no doubt we will agree we were both right or both wrong , or you were right and i was wrong , or i was right and you were wrong , all the best my friend , till then , jack
gambit4000 , thankyou for your reply , respect your views, but could never deny that there must be something greater then man, nature , the universe ,
@MrJackv5 You say that there must be something greater than the universe, just because you feel that way. That's no proof at all. Just because someone feels something doesn't make it true. Just ask Harold Camping.
yes i was a jw 25 years pioneered ten years, do not agree with some of their teachings , hence i left , but i cannot find comfort in any other religion, none have all truth, many have false teachings, but if anyone knows where the true followers of christ are , let me know ,
@MrJackv5 i was raised christian and remain christian for 20 years, then i was a devoted witness for over 5 years. been an atheist for the last 2. I couldnt be happier now. Religion is not the answer.
Moses was raised an Egyptian. He gradually became a servant of God. The apostle Paul was in what he thought was the truth, and he gradually became a follower of Jesus. When a person studies the bible, they don't know EVERTHING IN IT AUTOMATICALLY. It takes years, and sometimes many years, to see changes that have to be made. This video only proves that this is true in the case of Charles Russell, who was also a man who discovered teachings in the bible, and gradually made his life to match it.
It's not just this religion... they are all just different spins on the same concept. To control the masses and create a perfect society but it's not working! Wake up people, and let us all move forward into the age of information.
Please remember, we are IMPERFECT humans, teaching God's PERFECT laws and word. Proverbs 4:18,"...the path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established." Daniel 12:4,"...until the time of the end...(true) knowledge will become abundant." 1 Corinthians 13:12,"...we see in hazy outline..but then it will be face to face...then I shall know accurately.." 1 Peter .."we have the prophetic word.."
@eternityandforever Question for you sir. If Jehovah is "perfect" then why create imperfect humans? then try to wipe them out with a flood? if he is "merciful", why killed innocent people? including kids? if god loves evryone equally then why treat women as a second class citizen?
@gambitx4000 that story is called "the fall of man" or "the garden of eden story"....basic bible as literature used to be taught in every school, it was not a religion class. just real the book of genesis it is on line, go to the bible and key in genesis 1:1.
Jehovah is God's name. Check dictionaries, encyclopedias, bibles (at Exodus 6:3, Isaiah 42:8, and Isaiah 54:5). Jehovah's Witnesses serve Christ Jesus our Lord. Matthew 4:17 Jesus started preaching. He told his disciples to preach in Matthew 10. Matthew 10:14 tells them to go house to house. Matthew 24:14 says the good news of the kingdom will be preached... before the end comes.
Jesus taught his disciples to make more disciples at Matthew 28:19,20,"Go therefore and make disciples..."
They keep separate from the ungodly world as did Noah and many other prophets in the bible. READ John 17:14. Jehovah's Witnesses follow EXACTLY THE BIBLE. They do serve Christ our Lord. Matthew 4:17 is when Jesus started preaching. He taught his disciples to preach in Matthew chapter 10. Matthew 10:14 tells them to go house to house. Matthew 24:14 says this good news of the kingdom will be preached..."
Jesus told his disciples to make disciples at Matt: 28:19,20,"... make disciples..."
S to uncover the truth about the bible and it's teachings for example the commission Jesus gave us to preach the good news of the kingdom to all the nations Matthew 24:14 except people like you who have turned away from serving Jehovah to basically slander him and his organization and try to turn people away from the truth, hence the word apostate, and have basically gave up being part of the greatest privelidge of all teaching people about the good news of the kingdom giving them a hope for th
U of all people should understand that, 2 corinthians 13:5 says to keep testing whether you are in the faith not just to follow people but to find out real answers from the bible the truth that's what all the witnesses do they find the truth they study the bible and find the real answers to bible teachings that these other false Christian denominations teach. proverbs 4:18 says that the light will get brighter as the end draws near it was clear that Jehovah through his spirit strengthened charl
@samwell1311 Yes, Samwell Gamgee, I applied the 2Cor13:5 test to my religion, the JW's. What I found was that the JW's were not teaching the truth, and in harmony with ACcs 17:11, I rejected the religion. Therefore, in following the counsel of Psalms 146:3,4, I reject as man-made the teaching of the Watchtower, as it is based on the fallible ideas of the human governing body, who the scripture indicates not to trust.
Charles Tase Russel turned away from false worship yes he did attend an Adventist church meeting in which he agreed with some things that they taught but not with the teaching of "hell fire" he couldnt stand to think that God would create a place where people who do die suffer eternal torment, this is one of the many sick and twisted false teachings that "babylon the great" the world empire of false religion teaches so he decided to start really searching into the bible to find real answers, yo
@ExGileadMissionary Ugh. For a minute there I couldnt remember who I was calling an idiot. I meant, what does it matter if they are following the bible or not. Religion has got mankind in a pretty screwed up state and we would be much better off not following ANY bronze age text that is merely an early attempt to explain the world. Thats all the expounding I have time for, as I'm off to work.
@demonorse As an atheist, I agree with you. However, my target audience, JW's, would find it hard to stomach if I were to advocate atheism as an initial point of view. Rather, since JW's insist that all of their teachings are based on the Bible, I am debunking that. If a person then decides to become a rationalist like us, that is their prerogative.
@demonorse "Religion has got mankind in a pretty screwed up state and we would be much better off not following ANY bronze age text that is merely an early attempt to explain the world."
Tell that to the millions who have been given free water wells, medical clinics, dental clinics, homeless shelters, schools, hospitals, soup kitchens, clothing, etc at the hands of believing Christians.
@f8beenthere Do you honestly think this has outweighed the billions killed in religous inspired wars? How about the damage done to the environment because you fools believe that this earth is only for us and the end is near? Christians created the latest round of soup kitchens because of your voting habits. Your dumb ass GW Bush created the largest christian diaspora in history in Iraq! Schools? To teach the fucking bible and tithing! Fucking Hitler was a christian. Idiot!
You spend entirely too much time on them and I hear nothing about your beliefs. Truth is you probable will not confess the real reason you bash. Keep up the rant. You are tickling ears and the masses will gather you together for their teacher. Sound familiar?
You must be one of Jehovah's Witnesses. You understand that independent bible study is forbiddened by the Watchtower Society. That doing so will cause a witness to be disfellowshipped if they refuse to stop. You are only interested in putting a negative spin on this video with the hope that it will stop people from listening to the message. The Watchtower Society enslaves people to a false belief system.
You point out irreverent history as if it is the debate ender. You miss the entire point. The beliefs help to change lives. It unites people in brotherhood. They become closer to the creator. The truth is you are obsessed with them. If God is on their side you are an apostate. Anyone can find something to say about any religion.
You said that anyone that learns something else would be considered an apostate. You are wrong and you know this. Knocking on doors and discussing religion is learning about other beliefs. It is taking an offensive stand, or a slanderous stand, that makes you an apostate. I cannot believe you. I hope your viewers are smarter than you obviously give them credit. Blind guides, who strain out the gnat but gulp down the camel! Mt 23:24.
You know better than that. A witness is not at anyone's door to learn anything. Overcome objections and convince is the goal. It is slanderous toward the Almighty to say people cannot study the Bible independent of a religious organization. Anyone who knows the history of the Watchtower Society and does not take an offensive and defensive stand will be devoured. Don't be drawn into a world of deceit and confusion.
@Judahgosnell Why is it, that if you advocate a different view other then the WT (even if it is true) that you will get to the back room with the elders, and after a few warnings will be disfellowshipped?
Because there is a control factor, and a factor of organisation.
One of the marks of a cult is their claim to be the only true church. Since this is such an exclusive claim, it's not unusual for them to have their own extra biblical revelation from God. In the case of the Jehovah's Witnesses, one of those revelations is the New World Translation of the Bible.
How ironic that it was the 1975 yearbook lying about miracle wheat. That is SO ironic. Why a 1975 yearbook? The big 'A' came then......oh, I'm really laughing right now......
@PuNkOfNiCe I had the great benefit of some very long lived relatives....they told me about miracle wheat when I was very young, now I am gluten-free.....
I had to watch this vid...only because I have a friend who is a witness and he keeps telling me "it is the truth". Lol I'm on a whole bother level or conciousness
(1)Pastor Russell did Not Start a Religion He Spoke out against All Human Creeds. (2)the faithful Discreet Stewart is not a class. It is a Question.. Who is the faithful Discreet Stewart?
@OneLoveFaith i feel the same way. it was a rhetorical question. like, 'who really is my neighbor?', the answer: everyone. 'who really is the faithful and discreet slave...' anybody who is doing the things he describes constitutes this slave. in my opinion of course.
John_Ritter is going to slap you from Paradise if you say Miracle Weed 1 more time. ~I counted 10X~ Heard Miracle Weed 8X and wheat 2X. This guy is such a stoner. Hes selling weed over the internet for 60 bones a G. Dear Lord, Please help John Ritter to not slap another IDIOT today.
There are certain things i have notice about you that are bothering me as well.
You were never a witness or else you would know the correct and proper lingo. Fellowshipped, sad attempt noted. You need to definitely revamp this video.
oh my God Jehovah ... be growing as many apostates, like his son preach ... I admire them for being apostates buy their papers ... but are doing things that displease you Lord ... God almighty. I am Jehovah Witnesses - Brazil's
sect is a group with distinctive religious, political or philosophical beliefs. Although in past it was mostly used to refer to religious groups, it has since expanded and in modern culture can refer to any organization that breaks away from a larger one to follow a different set of rules and principles.
I am a former JW(not disfellowshipped tho) and I don't find any credibility in that religion or any franchise of Christianity. They both have a history or past of wild deceptions that do not make much sense. When will people learn to think and not just believe what they are told?
You might say "did he get this from a magazine?" Well no. I got it from being catholic and searching for truth since I was 16. I knocked on the door of the kingdom hall and questioned them. Some they answer right away and some they research. So I was neutral and not bias. Now I'm biased against false intentional blinding religion. I love God and cant see any organization who wants people to know the truth more than Jehovah's witnesses. Look at the work. If you have a better solution then what?
@ExGileadMissionary Do you have a better solution to the christ method of spreading Preaching God's word and solving this worlds problems. How will you advertise Jehovah and Jesus for a better future? Now l want to know what do you do to spread the good news and where? What better solution do you have better than the kingdom of GOD? Satan does a great job of advertising wickedness through internet, tv, governments, idols and etc. The odds are against us all.
@faithbyworks7 if anyone teaches religion, follow GOD. if all hate you follow GOD. if you are punished follow GOD. amen! May you seek the first and most high trurh.
False religion still clings on when they are still wrong. What is the intention? Is it truth or creed? With the idol worship, pagan holidays, hell doctrine, trinity and so forth. We have to think. Wait. How come Jehovah's witnesses got out of that and others havent. Well If people knew the truth then would the priest and preachers have JOBS? Power? Of course not. So how do you keep the job? Continue the lie. The involvement in war now? God's kingdom is not part of politics. Clear?
It's too much for one person or many at one time to discover what was wrong. It's pretty petty to pick on early dealings when Jehovah's Witnesses wasnt even established yet. The christian congregation in the 1st century was the same. The disciples had growing and took a while even after christ death to be adjust. I dont see anyone picking on that or Solomon. We still read solomon's words eventhough he did wrong. Look at David. You got the point. So what about false religion.
ExGileadMissionary. I'm not offended at all about pointing Russell's faults. A fault is a fault. We all have sin but that is already established. The real difference between 2 different things making mistakes is the INTENTION! Was Russell seeking power? Money? Selfishness? For a wealthy business man that road would not be smart. He sold his business and pursue the truth. Of source he had held on wronged things because of what was not clear. We all have done that when searching truth. Honestly.
@faithbyworks7 I love old chuck, JW 4th gen. but I wonder if he did not sell the gentlemen's clothing concern (and he knew mr. stetson of THE hats) to go into an even larger business. I would not lie to you, entire life has been for truth.
I use to preach at the church of christ. Teaching wrong things. I was blinded. Yes i feel bad for bringing people in there but am I marked for life because I was taught a lie? That's the devil and man's fault. My intention when I was younger was to help people live forever and that never change. I searched with an open mind and fairness and not with unrealistic expectations. I knew WTS had wrong dates and etc but I saw the motive and the clean progressive worship. Being progressive is open mind.
WTS are always getting wacked for past mistakes but that it make sense for them to make mistakes. They are imperfect. Back in the day many thought the world was flat but were they evil? We may laugh but I bet if we were back then we would believe the same. But we appreciate the progression of knowledge of science math and science. So why pick on progression of the Bible. Its a goal for truth and clean worship.
1. Are you following a "faithful" slave if they routinely change their mind on what is truth?
2. Disciples didn't understand all of Jesus' teachings when He taught them, but that didn't mean Jesus' teachings changed.
3. The Bible says there are 3 sources of "truth": Jesus, Scripture, the Holy Spirit. Do u know of any place where the bible EXPLICITLY says there is another source of truth, and that this other source can get it wrong from time to time?
@f8beenthere 1. There's a difference between changing a mind and increasing in knowledge towards the end.(Daniel 12:4)
2. That is correct. Jesus teachings didn't change. The disciples understanding did.(Read the Book of Acts)
3. That is correct. Those are the sources. But who is communicating? (matthew24:45-47) I wonder who the Israelites were listening to according to MOSES law?
Just like the Israelites in ancient times. We have to take responsiblity for whats been given to us. The word is being preached. Who is taking notice? But everyone goes for the rusell thing. Apparently its up to Jehovah if he gets salvation. Not us or WTS. But the organizations job is to pull ones out of falsehood creeds. Rev 18:4 mentions to get out of her and not to share her plagues. Acts 24:15 says a resurrection of righteous and UNRIGHTEOUS! So Jah can see the hearts and excuses we make.
I love that analogy of Russell with the drinking and birthdays and etc. What about others before him? As well logically. Are they condemn for what they didnt understand? Was Abraham and Jacob condemn for having children with two women? Polygamy? No but it was against those after the law. See the pattern. This goes for anyone today. If a person doesnt know the truth then they are not guilty. We are not readers of hearts. But now that the truth is established and growing. Now we become guilty
@faithbyworks7 -"If a person doesnt know the truth then they are not guilty. We are not readers of hearts. But now that the truth is established and growing. Now we become guilty" So what scriptures would you use to support these claims?
@f8beenthere Simple: Let's start with James 4:17. It speaks of knowing what to do. So it depends what you know. secondly we are not readers of hearts. So that explains acts 24:15 speaks of righteous and unrighteous. Unrighteous? Well before the Jehovah's organization people were blinded. So are they to be accounted? Would that be a God of justice? Deu 32:4, Isaiah 40:28. Remember David's sin? Did he not break God's law deserving death? But was forgiven. Logical?
I noticed how Russell started the JW's from "independent thinking" and now if someone else did the same, that would be horrible. Hypocritical! Have you noticed how the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society paints former JW's as horrible sinners, and then current JW's repeat these WT statements without verifying them. Isn't that the very definition of "gossip"?
@f8beenthere I think Korah asked the same question to Moses but you know the result. (numbers 16:1-4). According to your logic, would Moses be a hypocritical? Former Jw's as sinners is Gossip? In that case Peter and Timothy must be gossipers too according to 2 Peter 2:3,13, 3:16 and 2 tim 2:18. But I dont think they are. It's protection. Notice how they just dont leave. They attack the organization with twisted facts. But they never give a better solution than the kingdom that jesus taught.
@faithbyworks7 - Numbers 16 passage has nothing to do with gossip. 2 Peter passage is a prophecy of things to come. No gossip here. 2 Timothy he calls them out by name, and specifies the offense. These were not rumors, but well known facts. I think that is pretty obvious. Honestly, you are not required to defend an organization. Especially one who had made so many mistakes. God will not hold you accountable for their mistakes, only your own.
@f8beenthere Verse 16 I agree with you. None of it is gossip but it falls in the category of what you consider as gossip. "which the untaught and unsteady are twisting, as [they do] also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction." Watchtower uses it the same way. Apostates back then and now. In timothy, he does name them just like the congregation names them when announcing the disfellowshipped. Thanks for proving me right. And you say I'm not eligible to defend God's congregation?
@f8beenthere You also say "many mistakes". Yes for sure but least compared to all. If you say that you make less mistakes ten you are a liar. 1 john 1:10 "If we make the statement: “We have not sinned,” we are making him a liar, and his word is not in us." If you look at us, then you have to accuse every other character in the bible. Israelites made worst decisions and mistakes than the watchtower with mercy. You don't see us fornicating with neighboring nations and worshiping their gods.
Gospel of John Chapter 1 "In the Beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with GOD and the WORD WAS GOD....and WORD became flesh and dwelt among us" Jesus Christ is the SOn of God and God in the flesh. God incarnate, Emmanuel-God with US. Such a beautiful mystery... I AM a CHRISTian in this life and in the life to come. YOU ARE MY TREASURE JESUS...MY GREAT GOD!
Very good delivery and presentation!! Keep it coming. I've done a large amount of research into the cult and found your presentation expanding on what I've independently found.
Russell knew that the religion he was in was not right. They were not basing themselves in the bible and portrayed Jehovah as someone bad. That gave Brother Russell enough of a reason to study on his own. And the Society does encourage individual study because it helps strengthen you individually. If you were an ex-Gilead, then you should know that and you should have done it regularly. You are slanting everything you say and you expect perfection from someone who didn't grow up in the truth.
part of what russel began to question about his believes was regarding the soul He was raised to believe that once one dies hes soul remains alive If you read the bible carefully it says that the soul and the body are one Dont you believe that it was good that he detached himself from this false believe? You also have to understand that russel was a bible student, if u notice pictures taken of him u will see a cross as time went by the JWs learned that jesus wasnt crucified

I have questions to ask you and please be honest about it. Now that you are no part of the organization can you truly say that this change has encouraged you to observe god's commandments more fully, as to retrain from things such as fornication, blood, participation in political matters, and saluting the flag? Has This improved your share in preaching the good new, and by good new i don't mean bashing at the organization whenever chance you get, but door to door preaching, conducting studies?

@WatchtowerAddict - But if you don't follow all their man-made rules, or ask the wrong questions, the elders will meet with you and try to get you to change your ways. If you don't change, you can be disfellowshipped. Cut off from friends and even family. JW's live in fear, but God hasn't given true believers a spirit of fear. There is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. You can be set free from this cult. Ask God to reveal His truth to you.

No where in the bible does it refer to the trinity,that is a creation of the Holy See. Bibles have been translated over and over for political purposes and control of the masses according to catholic dogma. JW's translate from the original "Greek" text which are the oldest in existance to get the most relevant translation without the King James perversion of the greek translation. Witnesses try to get back to the "original" text before all the altercations placed by mans manipulative purposes.

@bachterberg - "JW's translate from the original "Greek" text..." You have to have "translators", to have a "translation". There is much data about the JW translation team, including a court record that shows the bogus translation abilities of JW leadership. Do a search on "accuracy of New World Translation". You will find many, trained in both Greek and Hebrew who give their opinions. Would you trust a used car salesmen or Consumer Reports? Which has more credibility?

@f8beenthere Show me in the original "Greek" texts that talk about the Trinity? I would like to see a source of the "Court Record" of the bogus translations. The Trinity is a Catholic Creation, along with "Hell" "Purgatory" and "The Cross."- Stauros - (star-ohs)
Originally thought to mean "cross" Literal meaning: a post or stake related to "Stauroo", which meant to "fasten." The cross represents the Trinity. Show me where it says the trinity exists in "Greek" text.

I was raised as a JW too, I know what it is... For me it was just simple: at the very first place, does God exist? Nobody can prove he does and nobody can prove he doesn't. But are both questions equal? If I say God is in my noes. You say it it is impossible. I say but you can't prove he is not there so both questions are equal. You know that simple logic leads to: both questions are not equal and most likely the concept of a supreme invisible being is an invention of human imagination.

What really concerns me is that JW's is based from a man who prophesized the end of the world and it never came true. How; then, can so many be openly deceived? "When God wills a thing, he say to it: 'Be, and it is." I agree with you. I told my brother about this very fact and he said: "Oh, well, we changed things in the Bible that corrected the other translation and we don't follow what Mr. Russle implemented anymore." Then if this were the case, he should see this is a false religion.

Here is yet another essential aspect of how to pray. Jesus said: “No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) So Jesus is the means of our approach to the Father, Jehovah. Thus, Jesus told his followers to pray in his name. (John 14:13; 15:16) That does not mean that we should pray to Jesus. Rather, we pray in the name of Jesus, remembering that Jesus is the reason that we are able to approach our perfect and holy Father.

@sunshineuk1965 The "official" website will only tell you what the WTS WANTS you to know, they will not tell you the truth. That is the dilemma. The WTS tells you to examine other religions to make sure you are in the right one, but if you examine the WTS, you can be disfellowshipped. They do not hold up to examination. Their own literature is their worst enemy, thats why it is so hard to access "old light" because it clearly shows contradiction, instead of illumination.

@ExGilead - Atheists say there is no god. Imagine a circle that contains all knowledge. How much of that knowledge do you have?

Moses was raised an Egyptian. He gradually became a servant of God. The apostle Paul was in what he thought was the truth, and he gradually became a follower of Jesus. When a person studies the bible, they don't know EVERTHING IN IT AUTOMATICALLY. It takes years, and sometimes many years, to see changes that have to be made. This video only proves that this is true in the case of Charles Russell, who was also a man who discovered teachings in the bible, and gradually made his life to match it.

Jehovah is God's name. Check dictionaries, encyclopedias, bibles (at Exodus 6:3, Isaiah 42:8, and Isaiah 54:5). Jehovah's Witnesses serve Christ Jesus our Lord. Matthew 4:17 Jesus started preaching. He told his disciples to preach in Matthew 10. Matthew 10:14 tells them to go house to house. Matthew 24:14 says the good news of the kingdom will be preached... before the end comes.
Jesus taught his disciples to make more disciples at Matthew 28:19,20,"Go therefore and make disciples..."

One of the marks of a cult is their claim to be the only true church. Since this is such an exclusive claim, it's not unusual for them to have their own extra biblical revelation from God. In the case of the Jehovah's Witnesses, one of those revelations is the New World Translation of the Bible.

False religion still clings on when they are still wrong. What is the intention? Is it truth or creed? With the idol worship, pagan holidays, hell doctrine, trinity and so forth. We have to think. Wait. How come Jehovah's witnesses got out of that and others havent. Well If people knew the truth then would the priest and preachers have JOBS? Power? Of course not. So how do you keep the job? Continue the lie. The involvement in war now? God's kingdom is not part of politics. Clear?

It's too much for one person or many at one time to discover what was wrong. It's pretty petty to pick on early dealings when Jehovah's Witnesses wasnt even established yet. The christian congregation in the 1st century was the same. The disciples had growing and took a while even after christ death to be adjust. I dont see anyone picking on that or Solomon. We still read solomon's words eventhough he did wrong. Look at David. You got the point. So what about false religion.
faithbyworks7 1 year ago
ExGileadMissionary. I'm not offended at all about pointing Russell's faults. A fault is a fault. We all have sin but that is already established. The real difference between 2 different things making mistakes is the INTENTION! Was Russell seeking power? Money? Selfishness? For a wealthy business man that road would not be smart. He sold his business and pursue the truth. Of source he had held on wronged things because of what was not clear. We all have done that when searching truth. Honestly.

2. Disciples didn't understand all of Jesus' teachings when He taught them, but that didn't mean Jesus' teachings changed.
3. The Bible says there are 3 sources of "truth": Jesus, Scripture, the Holy Spirit. Do u know of any place where the bible EXPLICITLY says there is another source of truth, and that this other source can get it wrong from time to time?

@f8beenthere 1. There's a difference between changing a mind and increasing in knowledge towards the end.(Daniel 12:4)
2. That is correct. Jesus teachings didn't change. The disciples understanding did.(Read the Book of Acts)
3. That is correct. Those are the sources. But who is communicating? (matthew24:45-47) I wonder who the Israelites were listening to according to MOSES law?

Just like the Israelites in ancient times. We have to take responsiblity for whats been given to us. The word is being preached. Who is taking notice? But everyone goes for the rusell thing. Apparently its up to Jehovah if he gets salvation. Not us or WTS. But the organizations job is to pull ones out of falsehood creeds. Rev 18:4 mentions to get out of her and not to share her plagues.

Russell knew that the religion he was in was not right. They were not basing themselves in the bible and portrayed Jehovah as someone bad. That gave Brother Russell enough of a reason to study on his own. And the Society does encourage individual study because it helps strengthen you individually. If you were an ex-Gilead, then you should know that and you should have done it regularly. You are slanting everything you say and you expect perfection from someone who didn't grow up in the truth.
