There are many reasons a person would be attracted to Jehovah's Witnesses: Exclusivity, being special, being "in the know" - knowing God's so-called 'real' name. Knowing exactly when the end will come, etc, etc.
Exactly. It's important to understand that false religions appeal to people for different reasons. It's very easy to dismiss people as crazy, but this is rarely the case.
I attended for yearsin tye hope that Armageddon would come prior to my family's passing away. Unfortunately my dad passed 9 years ago, and my mom, 2 brothers, and I now have cancer. Paradise earth sounded so nice..but.m
Scripture does not promise paradise on earth, but as it says in Hebrews 11:8-10: [8] By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. [9] By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; [10] for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. And then further in verses 13-16: [13] These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. [14] For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. [15] And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. [16] But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. Put your faith in the promises of God and the work of God the Son, Jesus Christ, for He promises eternal life to those who diligently seek Him.
They believe that they have this hope that God will "remember" them and that God will recreate them from His memory. God is all knowing! He doesnt need to remember as He doesnt "forget".
Which church are preaching the gospel of the kingdom around the world to all nations as Jesus Christ said? Matthew 10:16, 24:14, 28:19-20, Mark 13:10, if not only only only the Jehovah's witnesses..
@@vusimngomezulu2500same question I already answered for you on another video, so this by definition would make you a troll. EVERY church I have ever attended, and there are many, who have missionaries who go out worldwide to preach. There are 2.5 billion Christians globally and millions of churches globally who preach. JWs are nothing special in that regard.
Reasons: -Passed down from generations -coerced/pressured -They love a person(s) in the cult -low self esteem -lack of research -gullible -Fear -lack of resources (kids cant leave home) - Delusional -sexual Abuser -Narcissist (controller) -mental impairment (cant reason well) The list goes on and on.
The reason In my point of view is that 1. they tell you you can live forever in paradise can live forever in a paradise Earth That jehova is God's name number 2. Okay. Well, jesus christ died for your sins.ok? There's a lot of love bombing. Seems like everybody loves you and your best friend. You know this world as a whole And you'll be a paradise with no more pain and suffering no more sickness there people that love you at the KH and everyone is your so called "friend" which they love bomb you. They figure when jesus was on earth that he told him to go from door to door at house to house and preach. But yet, when you start to really getting involved with the witness, you start to see a lot of things that are not right, things that are crocked Things like Shunning Separating families depression the lies and mani p ulation, csa cases blood issue hypocrisy, backbiting and judgmental attitudes and The Nine old guys at bethel in new york city have lied several times😂

Even Paul admited that their prophecies were partial, but when which is perfect comes, then which is partial shall be done away, at least, the scriptures rules and commandments were writen intended for Physical Israelites, then Jehovah passed to his new Jerusalem, the JW's, the spiritual Jerusalem, @Deut, 4:1-2,
Millions of JW's used to gather annually to REFUSE Christ and His words. Now many of them refuse to even go to their Kingdom halls as Babylon's water dries up! Revelation is symbolic yet JW's somehow view only one part literally, the SYMBOLIC 144,000 spiritual Israelites, all who are born anew, from the same mother, our mother "The Jerusalem Above", Gal 4:26. What did Jesus say when eating the loaf and drinking the wine? "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you will not enter my kingdom." John 6:56 But JW's PUBLICALLY REFUSE CHRIST. JW's sometimes even call their human organization "Mother!" What blasphemy!
It is a close-knit community filled with 'love' for one another until you run afoul of their extra strict non biblical man-made rules. Then you will find out how loving they are. They are 8 million because their recruiting techniques are robust.
That "8 Million" is very questionable. Empty halls are being sold to pay legal fees. Multiple congregations are being consolidated into one and even then, they don't even have enough men to operate as "ministerial servants" so they are using unbaptised boys to run things. Baptised women are not even good enough to pass a microphone around.
I would LOVVVVVVVE to speak with you guys. I recently have been doing videos on JW and I want to learn even more on how to present this subject. I've done videos on Mormons, catholic, and JW. I just want to reach these peopl
Sin is any action, feeling, or thought that goes against God’s standards. It includes breaking God’s laws by doing what is wrong, or unrighteous, in God’s sight. (1 John 3:4; 5:17) The Bible also describes sins of omission-that is, failing to do what is right.-James 4:17. In the Bible’s original languages, the words for sin mean “to miss a mark,” or a target. For example, a group of soldiers in ancient Israel were so adept at slinging stones that they “would not miss.” That expression, if translated literally, could read “would not sin.” (Judges 20:16) Thus, to sin is to miss the mark of God’s perfect standards. As the Creator, God has the right to set standards for mankind. (Revelation 4:11) We are accountable to him for our actions.-Romans 14:12. Is it possible to avoid sinning completely? No. The Bible says that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23; 1 Kings 8:46; Ecclesiastes 7:20; 1 John 1:8) Why is that so? The first humans, Adam and Eve, were sinless in the beginning. That is because they were created perfect, in God’s image. (Genesis 1:27) However, they lost their perfection by disobeying God. (Genesis 3:5, 6, 17-19) When they had children, they passed on sin and imperfection as inherited defects. (Romans 5:12) As King David of Israel said, “I was born guilty of error.”-Psalm 51:5.
Would "sin" include following men in the unscriptural "Governing Body" rather than Christ? "You are not to be called RABBI (teacher) We have one teacher, Jesus Christ." The rest of us, ALL of us are just "brothers." The Christian "church" is simply when ever 2 or 3 are gathered in Christ's name. He will be there and Holy spirit will guide you. The Greek word for church is ekklesia, meaning "a called-out assembly." Jesus has called us out to follow him only.
@@mrm8850 The name "Jesus" derives from the Hebrew name "Yeshua" (ישוע), which is a contraction of "Yehoshua" (יהושע), meaning "Yahweh is salvation" or "Yahweh saves."
Wow, you think that way of Catholics? What about the Coptics, EO's etc who can argue somewhat legitimately they have some lineage in Apostolic Succession?
Just refining a reply. I agree with what you say of Fear of the Lord but what's your beef with the true church? With no apostolic succession, you have no connection to any apostolic líne. Do you think that might be a problem? You know, "You are Peter and on this rock I shall build my Church"... And the binding and losing... It's problematic isn't it?
It's not even a little bit of a problem. Christ's church is given life by His Spirit, not by apostolic succession. Peter's ministry and even Christ's recognition in Matthew 16 is because he proclaimed the truth of God that God had revealed unto him. This idea of apostolic succession is addressed by Paul in Galatians 1:6-12 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. 11 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Why then are the Coptics, EO, Catholics (even Anglicans up to a point) so similar in doctrine and yours so different? I mean, I don't exactly know what you believe but I would have the same argument thrown at me (Gal 1) from universalists, JW's, other non trinitarians like SDA's (are they still non trinitarians? I forget... Let's say millerites, shall we), Baptists, tulip reformists, Lutherans, Pentecostals, AoG non trinitarians Pentecostals etc. Who's right? Scripture unfortunate does not help tremendously, does it? I mean, if you follow tradition, you go to church on Sunday. If you follow the book... Arguably, the SDA's et al can and do make a stronger argument for the Sabbath. So if you think tradition helps, why not go the church that was founded on Peter and carried on by Paul et al?
Ah yes. The imperial cult collapsed when the emperor said he was not god. This is why there are no more Shinto shrines in Japan, and Children's day, and Shichigosan are not things anymore. This is why sumos don't purify before entering the ring. Excellent point.
I joined in 1989, hoping it would cure being gay. Didn’t work. I was also attracted to the One Truth, the Secret Truth, the Chosen Group. That was very attractive. I left in 1994.
One of the reasons is because people don't read the Bible, they don't know the truth yet from the Bible John 14:6 or the salvation Ephesians 2:8,9 and then JW teaches a new teaching that sounds good to the ear and people assume that's the truth. That's why it is so important to read the Bible day and night (Joshua 1:8) and before reading ask for guidance of the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom and revelation. Rely on God not on the teachings of men.
GUYS, JESUS CHRIST said, "NO MAN COMES TO ME, UNLESS THE FATHER WHO SENT ME, DRAWS THEM. ( John 6 v 44) There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING any of you could do to stop.JEHOVAH from drawing whom ever he wants. IF JEHOVAH DON'T DRAW YOU, YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE. I am sure each of you would agree that we are deep in the last days. Are you saying that you have the word of God and Jehovahs witnesses don't? WOULD YOU SAY THAT GOD'S WORD IS ONLY FOR A FEW ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE? There are some Chinese people living near you, some of them speak Mandarin and others speak Cantonese, Jehovahs witnesses speak to them all in their native tongue, DO YOU, or rather CAN YOU? What about Vietnamese and Korea Dutch? etc? JEHOVAH WITNESSES speak to them all in their native tongue. Jehovahs witnesses got thousands of congregations in Kragikstan, Uzbekistan, Crimea, Ukraine, Zanzibar Peru, Ethiopia, SENEGAL Jamaica, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Equador, Argentina, France, Italy, Norway, Brazil Belgium, England Boston, Kentucky, Miami, Guatemala, Greece Peru, Equador, etc etc. Preaching the word of God not just ONE DAY A WEEK, but, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. DO YOU,or rather CAN YOU? So when is your WORD OF GOD going to reach all these people around the world? ( MATTHEW 24 v 14) Just before Jesus ascended to Heaven, he gave his followers a command, " YOU MUST BE WITNESSES OF ME IN JERUSALEM AND IN ALL JUDEA AND SAMARIA AND TO THE UTMOST PART OF THE EARTH, JEHOVAH WITNESSES OBEY IT, DO YOU, or rather, CAN YOU? (Acts 1 v 8) What about Acts 5 v 42, Acts 20 v 20.? Would you say that Matthew 10 v 11 to 15 pertains to you, or JEHOVAH witnesses? Would you guys say that JESUS WAS A FALSE PROPHET? JESUS CHRIST said, "WHOEVER LIVES AND BELIEVES IN ME, EVEN THOUGH HE MAY DIE, HE SHALL LIVE, AND WHO EVER LIVES AND BELIEVES IN ME, SHALL NEVER DIE. Do you know any 2000 year Olds who are Alive Today? JESUS disciples who were with him all day every day, though he was about to restore the kingdom, are they false prophets? Have any of you ever read, HABAKKUK 2 v 3? It says, THE is for its appointed time, but even if it should delay, KEEP IN EXPECTATIONS OF IT, FOR IT WILL WITHOUT FAIL COME TRUE. ( EVEN IF IT SHOULD DELAY). SATAN has deployed so many of you, ( HIS HUMAN SERPENTS ON RUclips TO DO HIS TALKING) yet no matter what you say, YOU CAN NOT STOP JEHOVAHS ORGANISATION, IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, NOT A CHANCE.( Acts 5 38 and 39) SO WHY ARE YOU EVEN BOTHERING TO WASTE YOUR TIME?
Yes, we both can and do, because we are not just part of some man-made organization, but are servants of Jehovah. In many of these places around the world, before the false religion of the Watchtower and Jehovah's Witness came with their false gospel and their edited Bible, the church of Jesus Christ had already been there. Are you seriously taking credit for translating the Bible into Chinese? That work began hundred and hundreds of years before the Jehovah's Witnesses were even a glint in Charles Russell's eye. Have you read Habakkuk 2v3? Where it says, "it will not tarry"? The truth is you've been lied to. Over and over. Stop listening to liars and repent and turn to God. Stop following after their false prophecies and their twisting of God's word. If you want help in finding a church, please let us know. Charles
Did Jesus’ disciples think he was going to restore his kingdom at that time? Yes. Were they students who asked one question and still learning or were they teaching millions around the world they have special knowledge from Jehovah and must not be challenged or questioned? James 3:1 says that not everyone should be teachers because they are held to a higher standard and will be judged more harshly. The members of the GB are teachers and should not be using the excuse that they’re neither inspired nor infallible or when they fail they don’t owe anyone an apology. Teachers, especially biblical teachers should be held accountable for every word that comes from their mouth or writings. Dear Governing Body, If you don’t want to be held accountable for your teachings then DON’T become a teacher. Sincerely, Anyone who’s been hurt by your false and misinterpreted teachings.
JW's preach the good news of the Watchtower and it's almighty, (unscriptural) Governing Body, but not the Bible's Good News of Christ and His Kingdom. "Do not put your trust in men."
well people do not know they are mislead by idolitry and sun god worship in most churches or orginisations.instead of studying up false religions they exept to quick.
The founder of the JW's was in the SDA to begin with that is where they JW's get their belief on the Lake of fire and Jesus being Michael the arch angel.
@@rhondahart2416 No no no! JW and SDA founders were borh Millerites. They left that religion around the same time and formed their own, one in 1863 and the other in 1872. Joseph Bates and James and Ellen White (SDA). Jehovahs Witness was founded by Pastor Charles Russell in 1872. Two different religious wirh some similar doctrines.not unlike ALL christians.
@@cherylseebreth328 No, No No Cheryl, Charles t. Russell was no Pastor for one. He was a clothing store owner in PA. and he left the SDA when he got in a fight with Jim Miller Yes there was Millerite collusion but the SDA is in his history also. Today Charles T Russell is buried on the grounds of the Satanists the Freemasons. The Freemasons have infiltrated in all these high control groups and intend to take over the world. All of these high control groups should be marked as false and avoided. None of them should be compared with mainstream Christianity.
You keep using the word "truth," but clearly have no idea what truth is. I'll give you truth, the bible was written by human beings. Here's more truth, the bible is full of contradictions.
Bible writers were inspired by God. Numerous prophecies have been fulfilled. So called "contradictions" are doing an excellent job of "discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." A little digging clarifies contradictions but those looking for an excuse to not follow Christ will find it. Heb 4
Read your Bible.... Faith without works is Dead.... In the bible John saw the 144 000 ...Kings and priest s with Jesus... and then he saw a great crowd.... check out the 12 tribes of Israel ....joseph mentioned in Revelations ....he was not part of the original 12 tribes....Why.... ask a Jehovahs Witness and they will explain.... They know the Bible.... study the bible. As a whole....
I watched your video and respect your beliefs, however I believe what I've been taught by Jehovah's witnesses. Satan has been very effective in misleading people about who Jehovah and Jesus are. From gen 2:4 onward Jehovah gave mankind his personal name , yet starting with the rebellious Jews who decided Jehovah's name is too sacred to verbalize, the name was removed. Translations replace Jehovah's name with LORD or God. As time has passed the only name people come to know is Jesus. John1:1 Greek words of the first mention of God and the second are 2 different words. The second word god is the same as 2cor 4:4 when describing Satan. The word just means god. No disrespect, it just means god. The word that describes Jehovah implies the Almighty, and is not used to describe anyone else. Further down in the scriptures, Jesus said he only does what his Father taught him. Jehovah gave Jesus his disciples, knowledge, power, a kingdom, his co-rulers, holy spirit etc. An Almighty God would not need anyone to give him anything. Jesus is the son of God as matt16:16 explains. Jehovah said listen to Jesus from heaven because he was his Son and He loved him. Jesus is divine and he sits next to his Father in heaven, even the throne Jehovah gave him is in agreement with God's throne because Jehovah taught him love, justice, mercy, and when you see Jesus, it can be said you see his Father because Jesus only does what his Father taught him. Jesus prayed to his Father many times. He also said many times he came to make his Father's name known. If he said it he, he must have done it and it must have been important. Throughout the Bible we are encouraged to praise and elevate Jehovah's name, even Jesus said it in the model prayer. The churches say they love Jesus but they don't do anything he commanded his disciples. He said to preach if possible in two's, preach about God's kingdom because after the world is preached to, then the end will come. Paul said to remove unrepentant wrong doers to keep the congregation clean, we take these things seriously. There are so many more reasons why I Love being a Jehovah's witness, I am so grateful my mother was baptized when I was 2 years old and was faithful until her death in 2012. This is the best life ever
As you can see from the video we have no problem with saying Jehovah's name and agree that his name is important. But knowing his name is not enough. He must know us and we must be reconciled to Him and that can only be done through Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God. Jehovah's Witnesses do not have the promise that the power of sin has been broken in their lives. And if the power of sin is not broken then death still has the victory. If you watch, over time you will see, there is no breaking of the power of sin. And that makes all the difference.
@@TheConqueringTruth Thank you for acknowledging my text. I just wanted to explain our conviction to be loved and recognized by Jehovah and Jesus. The Hebrew scriptures reveal how Jehovah cared and loved his chosen people and mankind in general. He also expressed many times the earth is man's home and will not be destroyed or replaced but will be cleansed of wickedness, ps104:5; ps 37:29. We understand beginning at gen3:15, Jehovah purposed those loving him was given a way back to him and his perfect will for us . Jesus is that way as ISA 53:1-12 explains. Jesus's perfect life and sinless blood offered that solid hope for everlasting life but wehave to be obedient in order to receive that promise. Jesus's words reached out to all whose heart is rightly disposed to hear and obey. Your podcast members criticized our ministry, but yet We are the only ones consistently proclaiming God's kingdom as the only true hope for mankind as Jesus said we should do. Most religions encourage their members to get involved in worldly politics but Jesus ran away when they wanted to make him king. He also said his kingdom is not of this world and Revelation tells us the nations get their power from the dragon, which is Satan. We understand what Jesus's blood did for us and are very careful to follow him as best as possible. We make mistakes, and need to correct ourselves as the light gets brighter. Your podcast criticized our witness work, however Jesus said the harvest is great, beg the master to send more workers Matt 9:37,38. Where would these workers come from, evidently the world, so that's why our ministry is so important. We have deep faith in Jehovah's promises but we also need works to accomplish our ministry. We are Organized to accomplish our ministry. 2tim4:2 says preach the word, be at it urgently in favorable times and difficult times. Rom10:13-15 says people need to hear about Jehovah and Jesus so the feet that bring the good news are beautiful. Jehovah doesn't need people that just sit around and say they have faith. He needs diligent workers. Revelation 14: 13 says those resurrected to heavenly existence have worked for the Lord and their labors go right with them. We're also encouraged to have plenty to do in the work of the lord. The most important thing is the ministry Jesus gave us because it proclaims the Kingdom of God, also along with helping others and showing love. Again I respect what others believe and I don't want to offend anyone but we must be obedient to our exemplar, savior, eternal father because he received all he gave us from his Father, Jehovah. That's why we cherish the name Jehovah's witnesses. We are also Christians because we follow Jesus's example and appreciate his sacrifice
Most truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.q John 13:16 . Jesus was SENT BY GOD - and called as SERVANT OF GOD. Acts 4:27 WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . 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 Jesus in FACT mentioned the FATHER IS GREATER than I am. JOhn 14:28. BEFORE he WAS SENT, the Father is ALSO GREATER than Jesus. Most truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.q John 13:16 . Jesus was SENT BY GOD - and called as SERVANT OF GOD. Acts 4:27 AFTER his resurrection the FATHER IS STILL GREATER than Jesus - WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL

I ' ve been studing with jehovah's witnesses for years and and i m giong to start going into field service. Yes, before 1914 some witnesses especially the new ones thought that probably armagedom will come in that year. But people with more experience and knowledge accepted that they should not be giving dates based in MATTHEW 24 : 36-42. *the day and the hour nobody knows it neither the angels nor the Son but only the father. And if you kee o reading till vers 42. You will get more information. If you have questions please ask. And will do biblical research to find you the answer thank you...
They don't give dates because of their failed prophecies , Stay alive till 1975, before the generation of 1914 passes away this system of things will end. Deut. 18 If a man comes in my name and what he has to say does come to pass then he has spoken presumptuously and the people do not have to fear him. Anytime New light is presented you need to check the internet for new lawsuits because that's the reason for new light. Right now they are spending billions of dollars to stay out of jail for deliberately covering up CSA. If you have small children, boy or girl you need to be aware of this because it is very serious and dangerous. Most of the rank and file are completely ignorant of the workings of Bethel and the CSA cases. It's a multi billion dollar corporation of book publishing and real estate property that is listed on Forbes Fortune Five hundred list every year. This not a religion it's a Ponzi scheme and very high control group. If you've been studying with them for years then very likely you are not able to critically think any longer but this is not the way of the Lord! 2 Timothy 1:7 For you were not given a Spirit of fear but one of power, love and a SOUND MIND, a sound mind critically thinks.

Initially finding out that Gods Proper name is Jehovah, then learning that the name has been left out of most Bible translations. Even the King James, regarded by many as an excellent Bible, but with 1600's language, had only 3 or 4 references to Gods name, using "Lord", instead.! Then Jesus Order, at Matt. 28v19-20, to traverse the World and make disciples.......etc.! Which only they do as far back as I can remember, telling of the better World conditions that are there for those that listen and take note.! Meanwhile, at their meetings, the Bible is explaining everything, how, why, who went wrong, who is going to put it right, why the Earth was flooded, where the water came from.? An absolute hand-book for the human race.! Unfortunately, as Jesus said, they hated him, so you will be treated with dis-respect also, it will not be a walk in the park. However there is a scripture that nobody can deny, whatever accusation is made against Jehovah's Witnesses, it says at Acts 15v14-17. That Jehovah is choosing a people for his name from people of all the Nations.! With that knowlege, I stick with and defend them wherever possible.!..........jr
God's name is important and while there are Bible translations that do not esteem it in the way that they should, Jehovah's Witnesses are not even remotely close to being the ones who have cared for God's name or his reputation. Jehovah's Witnesses discredit and attempt to dishonor God in many ways, by not caring about God's eternal sense of justice, by denying the deity of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, by blaspheming the Holy Spirit and his place in the Godhead, by rejecting the Word of God and changing God's words to establish the doctrine of man, and by many other mockeries of God's goodness and righteousness. May God free all those in bondage to darkness, to those who serve and propagate lies and who have been enslaved by the evil of their false church and idolatrous worship.
There are many reasons a person would be attracted to Jehovah's Witnesses: Exclusivity, being special, being "in the know" - knowing God's so-called 'real' name. Knowing exactly when the end will come, etc, etc.
Exactly. It's important to understand that false religions appeal to people for different reasons. It's very easy to dismiss people as crazy, but this is rarely the case.
@@TheConqueringTruth Agreed. I also find JW bonding to be appealing; however, their methods of discipline are abysmal and deadly.
I attended for yearsin tye hope that Armageddon would come prior to my family's passing away. Unfortunately my dad passed 9 years ago, and my mom, 2 brothers, and I now have cancer. Paradise earth sounded so nice..but.m
Scripture does not promise paradise on earth, but as it says in Hebrews 11:8-10:
[8] By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. [9] By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; [10] for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
And then further in verses 13-16:
[13] These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. [14] For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. [15] And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. [16] But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
Put your faith in the promises of God and the work of God the Son, Jesus Christ, for He promises eternal life to those who diligently seek Him.
religions MK ULTRA followers into idolitry and misleading men and sun god worship and weak minded people easy prey.
One of the things that attracted people to JW religion is the non trinitarian teaching.
Suck irony, laborious pricess to rewrite the Book. Even then they can t mark out truth.
They believe that they have this hope that God will "remember" them and that God will recreate them from His memory. God is all knowing! He doesnt need to remember as He doesnt "forget".

JWs are nothing special in that regard.

I was lonely and at a crossroads
Are you still in the Witnesses?
The reason In my point of view is that 1. they tell you you can live forever in paradise can live forever in a paradise Earth That jehova is God's name number 2. Okay. Well, jesus christ died for your sins.ok? There's a lot of love bombing. Seems like everybody loves you and your best friend. You know this world as a whole And you'll be a paradise with no more pain and suffering no more sickness there people that love you at the KH and everyone is your so called "friend" which they love bomb you.
They figure when jesus was on earth that he told him to go from door to door at house to house and preach.
But yet, when you start to really getting involved with the witness, you start to see a lot of things that are not right, things that are crocked Things like Shunning Separating families depression the lies and mani p ulation, csa cases blood issue hypocrisy, backbiting and judgmental attitudes and The Nine old guys at bethel in new york city have lied several times😂
@@TheConqueringTruthWhich church are preaching the gospel of the kingdom around the world to all nations as Jesus Christ said? Matthew 10:16, 24:14, 28:19-20, Mark 13:10, if not only only only the Jehovah's witnesses..
@@vusimngomezulu2500
It's not the Jehovas' witnesses because they have never preached the gospel.
Even Paul admited that their prophecies were partial, but when which is perfect comes, then which is partial shall be done away, at least, the scriptures rules and commandments were writen intended for Physical Israelites, then Jehovah passed to his new Jerusalem, the JW's, the spiritual Jerusalem, @Deut, 4:1-2,
Millions of JW's used to gather annually to REFUSE Christ and His words. Now many of them refuse to even go to their Kingdom halls as Babylon's water dries up!
Revelation is symbolic yet JW's somehow view only one part literally, the SYMBOLIC 144,000 spiritual Israelites, all who are born anew, from the same mother, our mother "The Jerusalem Above", Gal 4:26. What did Jesus say when eating the loaf and drinking the wine? "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you will not enter my kingdom." John 6:56 But JW's PUBLICALLY REFUSE CHRIST. JW's sometimes even call their human organization "Mother!" What blasphemy!
It is a close-knit community filled with 'love' for one another until you run afoul of their extra strict non biblical man-made rules. Then you will find out how loving they are. They are 8 million because their recruiting techniques are robust.
They don't even love each other. I was a JW for 30 years and all I experienced was judgement. No love at all.
1914 1975 but many witnesses to blind to see sad.
That "8 Million" is very questionable. Empty halls are being sold to pay legal fees. Multiple congregations are being consolidated into one and even then, they don't even have enough men to operate as "ministerial servants" so they are using unbaptised boys to run things. Baptised women are not even good enough to pass a microphone around.
There is a guy at our local kingdom hall that takes is recognised as one of the 144000

Sin is any action, feeling, or thought that goes against God’s standards. It includes breaking God’s laws by doing what is wrong, or unrighteous, in God’s sight. (1 John 3:4; 5:17) The Bible also describes sins of omission-that is, failing to do what is right.-James 4:17.
In the Bible’s original languages, the words for sin mean “to miss a mark,” or a target. For example, a group of soldiers in ancient Israel were so adept at slinging stones that they “would not miss.” That expression, if translated literally, could read “would not sin.” (Judges 20:16) Thus, to sin is to miss the mark of God’s perfect standards.
As the Creator, God has the right to set standards for mankind. (Revelation 4:11) We are accountable to him for our actions.-Romans 14:12.
Is it possible to avoid sinning completely?
No. The Bible says that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23; 1 Kings 8:46; Ecclesiastes 7:20; 1 John 1:8) Why is that so?
The first humans, Adam and Eve, were sinless in the beginning. That is because they were created perfect, in God’s image. (Genesis 1:27) However, they lost their perfection by disobeying God. (Genesis 3:5, 6, 17-19) When they had children, they passed on sin and imperfection as inherited defects. (Romans 5:12) As King David of Israel said, “I was born guilty of error.”-Psalm 51:5.
gods law broken when you worship the sun called trinity and the cross is this your false god?
Would "sin" include following men in the unscriptural "Governing Body" rather than Christ? "You are not to be called RABBI (teacher) We have one teacher, Jesus Christ." The rest of us, ALL of us are just "brothers." The Christian "church" is simply when ever 2 or 3 are gathered in Christ's name. He will be there and Holy spirit will guide you.
The Greek word for church is ekklesia, meaning "a called-out assembly." Jesus has called us out to follow him only.
@@mamajan99 question if jesus was never his name what is it seem you think you know truth?
@@mrm8850 The name "Jesus" derives from the Hebrew name "Yeshua" (ישוע), which is a contraction of "Yehoshua" (יהושע), meaning "Yahweh is salvation" or "Yahweh saves."
@@mrm8850 Do you understand the English language?
Wow, you think that way of Catholics? What about the Coptics, EO's etc who can argue somewhat legitimately they have some lineage in Apostolic Succession?
Apostolic succession in and of itself is of no credit. It has never been. Fear of God and worshipping God in Spirit and in Truth is all that matters.
Just refining a reply. I agree with what you say of Fear of the Lord but what's your beef with the true church?
With no apostolic succession, you have no connection to any apostolic líne.
Do you think that might be a problem? You know, "You are Peter and on this rock I shall build my Church"... And the binding and losing... It's problematic isn't it?
It's not even a little bit of a problem. Christ's church is given life by His Spirit, not by apostolic succession. Peter's ministry and even Christ's recognition in Matthew 16 is because he proclaimed the truth of God that God had revealed unto him.
This idea of apostolic succession is addressed by Paul in Galatians 1:6-12
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. 11 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Why then are the Coptics, EO, Catholics (even Anglicans up to a point) so similar in doctrine and yours so different? I mean, I don't exactly know what you believe but I would have the same argument thrown at me (Gal 1) from universalists, JW's, other non trinitarians like SDA's (are they still non trinitarians? I forget... Let's say millerites, shall we), Baptists, tulip reformists, Lutherans, Pentecostals, AoG non trinitarians Pentecostals etc.
Who's right?
Scripture unfortunate does not help tremendously, does it? I mean, if you follow tradition, you go to church on Sunday. If you follow the book... Arguably, the SDA's et al can and do make a stronger argument for the Sabbath.
So if you think tradition helps, why not go the church that was founded on Peter and carried on by Paul et al?
Sorry, I got busy and forgot about replying to this. I'll try to respond over the weekend.
im a witness 2874 has absolutely never been spoke abou , so proof needed
get out of all religions mate 1914 1975 witnesses should have woke and moved on many witnesses are leaving woke up to false religion.
Ah yes. The imperial cult collapsed when the emperor said he was not god. This is why there are no more Shinto shrines in Japan, and Children's day, and Shichigosan are not things anymore. This is why sumos don't purify before entering the ring. Excellent point.
have you checked that your not in a sun god worship cult?
I joined in 1989, hoping it would cure being gay. Didn’t work.
I was also attracted to the One Truth, the Secret Truth, the Chosen Group. That was very attractive.
I left in 1994.
How are you doing these days?
One of the reasons is because people don't read the Bible, they don't know the truth yet from the Bible John 14:6 or the salvation Ephesians 2:8,9 and then JW teaches a new teaching that sounds good to the ear and people assume that's the truth.
That's why it is so important to read the Bible day and night (Joshua 1:8) and before reading ask for guidance of the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom and revelation. Rely on God not on the teachings of men.
GUYS, JESUS CHRIST said, "NO MAN COMES TO ME, UNLESS THE FATHER WHO SENT ME, DRAWS THEM. ( John 6 v 44) There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING any of you could do to stop.JEHOVAH from drawing whom ever he wants. IF JEHOVAH DON'T DRAW YOU, YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE.
I am sure each of you would agree that we are deep in the last days. Are you saying that you have the word of God and Jehovahs witnesses don't? WOULD YOU SAY THAT GOD'S WORD IS ONLY FOR A FEW ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE? There are some Chinese people living near you, some of them speak Mandarin and others speak Cantonese, Jehovahs witnesses speak to them all in their native tongue, DO YOU, or rather CAN YOU? What about Vietnamese and Korea Dutch? etc? JEHOVAH WITNESSES speak to them all in their native tongue.
Jehovahs witnesses got thousands of congregations in Kragikstan, Uzbekistan, Crimea, Ukraine, Zanzibar Peru, Ethiopia, SENEGAL Jamaica, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Equador, Argentina, France, Italy, Norway, Brazil Belgium, England Boston, Kentucky, Miami, Guatemala, Greece Peru, Equador, etc etc. Preaching the word of God not just ONE DAY A WEEK, but, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. DO YOU,or rather CAN YOU? So when is your WORD OF GOD going to reach all these people around the world? ( MATTHEW 24 v 14)
Just before Jesus ascended to Heaven, he gave his followers a command, " YOU MUST BE WITNESSES OF ME IN JERUSALEM AND IN ALL JUDEA AND SAMARIA AND TO THE UTMOST PART OF THE EARTH, JEHOVAH WITNESSES OBEY IT, DO YOU, or rather, CAN YOU? (Acts 1 v 8) What about Acts 5 v 42, Acts 20 v 20.? Would you say that Matthew 10 v 11 to 15 pertains to you, or JEHOVAH witnesses?
Would you guys say that JESUS WAS A FALSE PROPHET? JESUS CHRIST said, "WHOEVER LIVES AND BELIEVES IN ME, EVEN THOUGH HE MAY DIE, HE SHALL LIVE, AND WHO EVER LIVES AND BELIEVES IN ME, SHALL NEVER DIE. Do you know any 2000 year Olds who are Alive Today?
JESUS disciples who were with him all day every day, though he was about to restore the kingdom, are they false prophets?
Have any of you ever read, HABAKKUK 2 v 3? It says, THE is for its appointed time, but even if it should delay, KEEP IN EXPECTATIONS OF IT, FOR IT WILL WITHOUT FAIL COME TRUE. ( EVEN IF IT SHOULD DELAY).
SATAN has deployed so many of you, ( HIS HUMAN SERPENTS ON RUclips TO DO HIS TALKING) yet no matter what you say, YOU CAN NOT STOP JEHOVAHS ORGANISATION, IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, NOT A CHANCE.( Acts 5 38 and 39) SO WHY ARE YOU EVEN BOTHERING TO WASTE YOUR TIME?
Yes, we both can and do, because we are not just part of some man-made organization, but are servants of Jehovah. In many of these places around the world, before the false religion of the Watchtower and Jehovah's Witness came with their false gospel and their edited Bible, the church of Jesus Christ had already been there.
Are you seriously taking credit for translating the Bible into Chinese? That work began hundred and hundreds of years before the Jehovah's Witnesses were even a glint in Charles Russell's eye.
Have you read Habakkuk 2v3? Where it says, "it will not tarry"? The truth is you've been lied to. Over and over. Stop listening to liars and repent and turn to God. Stop following after their false prophecies and their twisting of God's word.
If you want help in finding a church, please let us know.

Did Jesus’ disciples think he was going to restore his kingdom at that time? Yes.
Were they students who asked one question and still learning or were they teaching millions around the world they have special knowledge from Jehovah and must not be challenged or questioned?
James 3:1 says that not everyone should be teachers because they are held to a higher standard and will be judged more harshly. The members of the GB are teachers and should not be using the excuse that they’re neither inspired nor infallible or when they fail they don’t owe anyone an apology. Teachers, especially biblical teachers should be held accountable for every word that comes from their mouth or writings.
Dear Governing Body,
If you don’t want to be held accountable for your teachings then DON’T become a teacher.
Sincerely,
Anyone who’s been hurt by your false and misinterpreted teachings.
JW's preach the good news of the Watchtower and it's almighty, (unscriptural) Governing Body, but not the Bible's Good News of Christ and His Kingdom. "Do not put your trust in men."

And by the way, SDA was founded the same time as jws but their population is 25 million. I am not an SDA so am not batting for them. Just saying..
The founder of the JW's was in the SDA to begin with that is where they JW's get their belief on the Lake of fire and Jesus being Michael the arch angel.
@@rhondahart2416 No no no! JW and SDA founders were borh Millerites. They left that religion around the same time and formed their own, one in 1863 and the other in 1872. Joseph Bates and James and Ellen White (SDA). Jehovahs Witness was founded by Pastor Charles Russell in 1872. Two different religious wirh some similar doctrines.not unlike ALL christians.
@@cherylseebreth328 No, No No Cheryl, Charles t. Russell was no Pastor for one. He was a clothing store owner in PA. and he left the SDA when he got in a fight with Jim Miller Yes there was Millerite collusion but the SDA is in his history also. Today Charles T Russell is buried on the grounds of the Satanists the Freemasons. The Freemasons have infiltrated in all these high control groups and intend to take over the world. All of these high control groups should be marked as false and avoided.
None of them should be compared with mainstream Christianity.
You keep using the word "truth," but clearly have no idea what truth is.
I'll give you truth, the bible was written by human beings. Here's more truth, the bible is full of contradictions.
Exactly! And snakes, bushes and donkeys don’t talk !
well it is not what it was mislead by sun god worshippers.
Bible writers were inspired by God. Numerous prophecies have been fulfilled. So called "contradictions" are doing an excellent job of "discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." A little digging clarifies contradictions but those looking for an excuse to not follow Christ will find it. Heb 4
This does not seem like a very friendly group seems like they barely even like each other

They know the Bible.... study the bible. As a whole....
I watched your video and respect your beliefs, however I believe what I've been taught by Jehovah's witnesses. Satan has been very effective in misleading people about who Jehovah and Jesus are. From gen 2:4 onward Jehovah gave mankind his personal name , yet starting with the rebellious Jews who decided Jehovah's name is too sacred to verbalize, the name was removed. Translations replace Jehovah's name with LORD or God. As time has passed the only name people come to know is Jesus. John1:1 Greek words of the first mention of God and the second are 2 different words. The second word god is the same as 2cor 4:4 when describing Satan. The word just means god. No disrespect, it just means god. The word that describes Jehovah implies the Almighty, and is not used to describe anyone else. Further down in the scriptures, Jesus said he only does what his Father taught him. Jehovah gave Jesus his disciples, knowledge, power, a kingdom, his co-rulers, holy spirit etc. An Almighty God would not need anyone to give him anything. Jesus is the son of God as matt16:16 explains. Jehovah said listen to Jesus from heaven because he was his Son and He loved him. Jesus is divine and he sits next to his Father in heaven, even the throne Jehovah gave him is in agreement with God's throne because Jehovah taught him love, justice, mercy, and when you see Jesus, it can be said you see his Father because Jesus only does what his Father taught him. Jesus prayed to his Father many times. He also said many times he came to make his Father's name known. If he said it he, he must have done it and it must have been important. Throughout the Bible we are encouraged to praise and elevate Jehovah's name, even Jesus said it in the model prayer. The churches say they love Jesus but they don't do anything he commanded his disciples. He said to preach if possible in two's, preach about God's kingdom because after the world is preached to, then the end will come. Paul said to remove unrepentant wrong doers to keep the congregation clean, we take these things seriously. There are so many more reasons why I Love being a Jehovah's witness, I am so grateful my mother was baptized when I was 2 years old and was faithful until her death in 2012. This is the best life ever
As you can see from the video we have no problem with saying Jehovah's name and agree that his name is important. But knowing his name is not enough. He must know us and we must be reconciled to Him and that can only be done through Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not have the promise that the power of sin has been broken in their lives. And if the power of sin is not broken then death still has the victory. If you watch, over time you will see, there is no breaking of the power of sin. And that makes all the difference.
@@TheConqueringTruth Thank you for acknowledging my text. I just wanted to explain our conviction to be loved and recognized by Jehovah and Jesus. The Hebrew scriptures reveal how Jehovah cared and loved his chosen people and mankind in general. He also expressed many times the earth is man's home and will not be destroyed or replaced but will be cleansed of wickedness, ps104:5; ps 37:29. We understand beginning at gen3:15, Jehovah purposed those loving him was given a way back to him and his perfect will for us . Jesus is that way as ISA 53:1-12 explains. Jesus's perfect life and sinless blood offered that solid hope for everlasting life but wehave to be obedient in order to receive that promise. Jesus's words reached out to all whose heart is rightly disposed to hear and obey. Your podcast members criticized our ministry, but yet We are the only ones consistently proclaiming God's kingdom as the only true hope for mankind as Jesus said we should do. Most religions encourage their members to get involved in worldly politics but Jesus ran away when they wanted to make him king. He also said his kingdom is not of this world and Revelation tells us the nations get their power from the dragon, which is Satan. We understand what Jesus's blood did for us and are very careful to follow him as best as possible. We make mistakes, and need to correct ourselves as the light gets brighter. Your podcast criticized our witness work, however Jesus said the harvest is great, beg the master to send more workers Matt 9:37,38. Where would these workers come from, evidently the world, so that's why our ministry is so important. We have deep faith in Jehovah's promises but we also need works to accomplish our ministry. We are Organized to accomplish our ministry. 2tim4:2 says preach the word, be at it urgently in favorable times and difficult times. Rom10:13-15 says people need to hear about Jehovah and Jesus so the feet that bring the good news are beautiful. Jehovah doesn't need people that just sit around and say they have faith. He needs diligent workers. Revelation 14: 13 says those resurrected to heavenly existence have worked for the Lord and their labors go right with them. We're also encouraged to have plenty to do in the work of the lord. The most important thing is the ministry Jesus gave us because it proclaims the Kingdom of God, also along with helping others and showing love. Again I respect what others believe and I don't want to offend anyone but we must be obedient to our exemplar, savior, eternal father because he received all he gave us from his Father, Jehovah. That's why we cherish the name Jehovah's witnesses. We are also Christians because we follow Jesus's example and appreciate his sacrifice
The end is always just around the corner, as it was in 1878, carrot always keeps moving and the donkeys keep chasing it
Most truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.q John 13:16 . Jesus was SENT BY GOD - and called as SERVANT OF GOD. Acts 4:27
WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL
THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . 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
Jesus in FACT mentioned the FATHER IS GREATER than I am. JOhn 14:28. BEFORE he WAS SENT, the Father is ALSO GREATER than Jesus.
Most truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.q John 13:16 . Jesus was SENT BY GOD - and called as SERVANT OF GOD. Acts 4:27
AFTER his resurrection the FATHER IS STILL GREATER than Jesus - WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL

I ' ve been studing with jehovah's witnesses for years and and i m giong to start going into field service. Yes, before 1914 some witnesses especially the new ones thought that probably armagedom will come in that year. But people with more experience and knowledge accepted that they should not be giving dates based in MATTHEW 24 : 36-42. *the day and the hour nobody knows it neither the angels nor the Son but only the father. And if you kee o reading till vers 42. You will get more information. If you have questions please ask. And will do biblical research to find you the answer thank you...
What does scripture say about prophets, and what happens when their prophecies do not come to pass?
They don't give dates because of their failed prophecies , Stay alive till 1975, before the generation of 1914 passes away this system of things will end. Deut. 18 If a man comes in my name and what he has to say does come to pass then he has spoken presumptuously and the people do not have to fear him.

Please don't waste your life in a man made organisation. I wasted 30 years before I woke up and realize it’s not the truth, it's a cult.
Initially finding out that Gods Proper name is Jehovah, then learning that the name has been left out of most Bible translations. Even the King James, regarded by many as an excellent Bible, but with 1600's language, had only 3 or 4 references to Gods name, using "Lord", instead.!
Then Jesus Order, at Matt. 28v19-20, to traverse the World and make disciples.......etc.! Which only they do as far back as I can remember, telling of the better World conditions that are there for those that listen and take note.!
Meanwhile, at their meetings, the Bible is explaining everything, how, why, who went wrong, who is going to put it right, why the Earth was flooded, where the water came from.?
An absolute hand-book for the human race.!
Unfortunately, as Jesus said, they hated him, so you will be treated with dis-respect also, it will not be a walk in the park. However there is a scripture that nobody can deny, whatever accusation is made against Jehovah's Witnesses, it says at Acts 15v14-17. That Jehovah is choosing a people for his name from people of all the Nations.!
With that knowlege, I stick with and defend them wherever possible.!..........jr
God's name is important and while there are Bible translations that do not esteem it in the way that they should, Jehovah's Witnesses are not even remotely close to being the ones who have cared for God's name or his reputation. Jehovah's Witnesses discredit and attempt to dishonor God in many ways, by not caring about God's eternal sense of justice, by denying the deity of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, by blaspheming the Holy Spirit and his place in the Godhead, by rejecting the Word of God and changing God's words to establish the doctrine of man, and by many other mockeries of God's goodness and righteousness.
May God free all those in bondage to darkness, to those who serve and propagate lies and who have been enslaved by the evil of their false church and idolatrous worship.
