great experience. I was baptized in 1991. I was a pioneer and ministerial servant. I endure as many changes as you do, justifying them. but in 2023 with the change about the resurrection of people from the flood and sodom and gomorrah (Jehovah kills people and then resurrects them, that is so logical) I started to investigate only with official information from JW....then the Jeff Winder and the lighting of the annual meeting....that was so contradictorily stupid! I didn't come back. (now investigating I found that Russell expected the end for 1874, watchtower February 1881) greetings brother!

As an active Witness for 35 years, profound doctrine was my passion, that is why I do not allow it to be played with. and I realized that the Witnesses play with doctrine. My wife also stopped believing in them. The organization will have to change, and many will leave. but surely they will have a new doctrine to control that damage. Great video!
You are right. We’re so glad that you are free now. The JWs are never allowed call on their only saviour: the Lord Jesus Christ Everyone who calls on the Lord Jesus will be saved 😊
@@seanrathmakedisciples1508 Now I don't believe in the apocalypse either. Revelation 1:1 says that the revelation was to be fulfilled "soon." That was almost 2000 years ago and here we are. It seems to me the same deception JW..."soon, very soon"...
Anyone who is gullible enough to follow the Watchtower now with all their flip-flops and 180 degree changes is certainly gullible enough to keep following them with all the upcoming changes. No matter how drastic. But especially so if those changes bring the organization more into the mainstream.
The bible says that in the time of the end true knowledge will become abundant. "O Daniel, make secret the words . . . until the time of the end. Many will rove about, and the true knowledge will become abundant.”-DAN. 12:4. Do you honestly think this true knowledge would be instantaneous? How do you think this knowledge comes about? It is not due to intellectual prowess or some special mightiness. Bible understanding comes about because God allows it. Matthew 11:25 Everyone one of God's people in the bible made many mistakes in words and actions especially the apostles. No one is perfect and no one can bridle his tongue. Bible understanding is a work in progress like the morning sun that rises until the day is born.

Here is what is going on with Watchtower... God has amassed for Himself an army of concerned families and friends, "Apostates," victims and survivors, to tear down this abomination of a false religion. Watchtower is a bad tree, bearing bad fruit, fit only for fire, the LORD has already laid axe to root. A house divided will not stand, and Watchtower will not survive the assault from the armies of the LORD. In the Mighty name of Jesus, this "tower" is coming down like the walls of Jericho, because we are SHOUTING!!
Jehovah's Witnesses are not divided. The ex JWs are very divided. Jehovah's WItnesses are the true tree that all who wnat to be on Gods sode must come too. Jehovah's Witesses will never be defeated
So, if Jehovah is 'revealing clarification', 'new light', and 'new understanding', isn't that the same as being "inspired"; of which they admitted they are not? What hypocrisy !😮
How is it hypocritical? When you read the Bible and apply it you're being guided by holy spirit, aren't you, even though you're not inspired. As an organisation Jehovah's Witnesses do follow the Bible. That's how they are being guided by holy spirit.
@moseslivingstone1258 No. Witnesses neither believe in nor use the Bible, it will not support their beliefs. The NWT was written to promote the god created by Watchtower. Reading the Bible and applying it is being led by the Word of God; the Spirit lives within a person who has the Christ. The fruits of a person who has the Spirit of Christ are these: Love. Joy. Peace. Faithfulness. Goodness. Gentleness. Kindness. Patience. Self control. Witnesses do not bear this fruit, and it is evident from top down. The fruit of Watchtower and adherents are these: Pride. Bitterness. Anger. Depression. Arrogance. Doubt. Contempt. Chaos. Confusion. Self righteousness. This is the fruit borne of Watchtower, and it is evident, from the top down. Criss crossing the globe to put out "fires," hide crimes, run from authorities, endless hours and dollars spent on court case worldwide, have cost Watchtower any true fruits of the Spirit.
@mattmurdock2868 Interesting, but if you only did read ant-Witness propaganda instead of the Bible I can see how you might get that impression. From my perspective, I see the Bible coming alive. Acts of the apostles in modern times, from the world wide preaching work to battles played out in courtrooms and the love Jesus said which would mark his true disciples. Look! I am sending you out as sheep among wolves; so prove yourselves cautious as serpents and yet innocent as doves. 17 Be on your guard against men, for they will hand you over to local courts and they will scourge you in their synagogues. 18 And you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a witness to them and the nations," Matthew 20:16-18. Jesus said you would know my true disciples by the love they have amongst themselves, John 13:35. Ask yourself, in a world being torn apart by war who are the ones being persecuted because they refuse to harm their neighbours? The reality is if someone is going to fly over dropping bombs on you it could well be someone from your own religion. Look at Russia and Ukraine for instance, but I guarantee you it won't be one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
How can there be such a thing as "Old Truth"? Such a thing doesn't exist. The dictionary definition of truth is that it always accords to the facts. It never disagrees with itself. So how can there be new truth and old truth that contradicts itself? If it was wrong when they presented it as truth it was always wrong. Why did God give us wrong information He had never done it before. when he gave the Law covenant it didn't have to keep being adjusted and updated/ When Christ came and taught the Truth it didn't have to keep being adusted and updated. It was the Pharisees who became Christians that tried to keep the Law of Moses. But that wasn't ever taught as truth and later adjusted.
Members nowadays seem somewhat lost to me. They follow Watchtower points robotically, but. It’s. So. Boring. The GB on video look foolish, self-interested, prideful. And wealthy. And fat and happy. People are wondering about those around them. Are they also feeling embarrassed by what they see? Enthusiasm seems very low.
It's the same over here in the Netherlands.. There's to much trouble: Norway denied them registration. Denmark, Brazil, Italy, Germany etc. are investigating their doctrines and policies. Mid 2025 the Netherlands will have a reporting point for victims and relatives of sects and cults...
They had to change because they were sued in Europe for shunning. It didn't turn out too well. And all they changed was that they would have a simple greeting. That's all. They are allowing some disfellowshipped people from years ago to come back. It's not changed that much.
I think they are a real state religion. They invest your hard earned money you contributes to real states and governing body use it for their comfortable retirement.
I think of Russell as a sad boy who lost his mom and then at 17 he heard an Adventist preaching. It was click bait. He didn't want to own a shop in Pittsburg so he started selling click bait pamphlets that he printed on his own presses. Next was the bitter Rutherford. Lost a lung in prison. Sold encyclopedias through law school. Bitter man. No happiness for you!
Okay, if God "is watching' to see if his loyal witnesses are associating with disfellowshipped ones, why does he turn his head and a blind eye to the devastating csa cases inflicted u 6:30 pon his 'little ones'? Is he no longer "watching"???😮

Look at the Methodists. They split into several Methodist denominations. The main denomination accepts trans and homosexuals in the ministry. I even saw a video of a crossdresser pastor the other day. The ones who left had to pay a high price by their structure. They had to pay to leave and keep their building. But they are free from all that ungodly mess. That may be the way JWs go. The old ones leave.
They are not close to collapse because they are a dead organization that is just existing. And they can exist for years as a zombie organization and not come close to a collapse.
Your right. They are not even close. They may get smaller but they will never collapse. There are far too many gullible people in the world for it to totally collapse.
