I love it when Christians confront Jws ...I watch so many of these videos, such fire and zeal ..its the spirit of God piercing darkness ..keep it going
Try to fight the urge to over talk and argue with them. It will just turn them off worse. Trust me I know how hard and frustrating it is. But when you let them talk and you just drop seeds calmly it will have a greater affect. Might not seem like it at the time but it will. But excellent job! 4th generation ex elder myself.
Raised JW. Left at 16. Took me almost a lifetime to unravel the indoctrination and begin to understand and comprehend the depth of Scripture in its entirety and who Jesus is, God Incarnate. What’s intriguing to be is I live in Longview TX and meeting like minded folks like this couple would be great fellowship given our proximity. Don’t know how to do that and respect privacy but maybe y’all have an idea. God Bless
It's in the ten commandments for God's sakes ....Do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain ......this Jehovah this ,Jehovah that crap is blasphemous ,and clearly unscriptural .....use an official address like FATHER .....that again is the example of Jesus Christ !....BAM
Great job surprised the JW went straight to the Word was made flesh but I suppose in their isolated verses and twists they deceive themselves. I used to study the Trinity brochure and manuscript issues it made me realise our case was not as strong as JWs as was presented in public talks.
God bless you both for sharing the TRUE JESUS with these lost men…. They have NOW HEARD THE TRUTH THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SALVATION IS THROUGH CHRIST!!! I pray they come to accept that Truth before their last breath, for they WILL BOW BEFORE THE KING ONE DAY either to live with Him eternally or to perish forever in hellfire. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
I really appreciate this, thank you. As an old Apostate, I truly believe in Jesus as God. You are true Christians and I do appreciate you. With me, though I declare Jesus as Lord and God, I have run run run from churches of Christianity because of the fools who dance around stages and go google-eyed over money and jets. This is SO HARD on an ex Witness searching for a place to worship! Everything from mean little ‘ol ladies to weird non-human languages to money scammers! Sounds disrespectful, but I’ve ACCEPTED Jesus (He has accepted me) yet I do not like the “cults” Christianity is falling fools to. Hearing you guys was informative and refreshing and true Gospel. Much appreciated. But: we want to bring JWs to a true Gospel...where do we send these hungry souls...the Christian churches are embarrassing! We NEED a Jesus Church that teaches Peace. Love. Rest. The Comforter. Where? When? Have you SEEN the scammers and fools and the Prosperity New Age crap with the healing showmen? Send an ex JW there? O.M.G. I don’t think so.
Thanks for sharing this conversation. Interesting subject. The Matthew 28:19 with only one name (singular), and it's Jesus, is fabulous. I have some ideas to back it further up. The Father's name is the name he gave his son Jesus. John 17:11,12; Philippians 2:9; The same goes around the name of the holy spirit, which is the name preached by us in Jesus. 1 John 4:2; 1 Corinthians 12:3; 2 Corinthians 13:5,13; Galatians 6:18; Filippian 4:23; 2 Timothy 4:22; Philemon 1:25. God bless you.
You are right Jesus never addressed His Father as Jehovah. Jesus is Jehovah, Our Father is Elohim. (ST. John 1:1-10) Jesus created all things. God the Father was the one who planed it and he asked Jehovah/Jesus to execute the plain.
They engaged with you for quite a while, which tells me God is at work on them. May they remember all that you told them. Lord may your Truth bother them!
You guys know the Word blessings and peace to you guys! Keep sowing them seeds of truth and expose the darkness with the light! I like showing them in their translation how Jesus is God things that they thought they covered up but God and they have a Greek interlinear on the JW website so that’s been helpful for me to witness to them. What scripture do they use to say Jesus is the arch angel Michael?
This is copied off of their website there's an article you can Google who is Michael the Archangel and they use the scripture and Jude 9 1 Thessalonians 4:16 states: “The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice.” Thus the voice of Jesus is described as being that of an archangel. This scripture therefore suggests that Jesus himself is the archangel Michael
Thank you so much yeah I was down town and witnessing to the lost and seen some JW’s posted in the park and of course I approached them and was going through scripture with them and they wanted to explain away the theophanies in the Old Testament so I went to Isaiah 43:10 and then where Thomas calls Jesus my Lord my God and they tried to go to another source to explain that and I felt like I was making lead way but who knows! I love how you guys witness to them!!
I disagree I feel like telling someone they're being lied to is the only way if they're not going to listen to the Bible then at least plant a seed of doubt that who they're listening to can lead them astray.
Good job my brother and sister ,however in order to help jws you must keep things simple ,and get on common ground ,with scriptures thats going to save there lives ,such as ask questions on what this scripture means ,and then you can tactfully show them the error of there way ,such as again keep it simple ,like ask them what this scripture mean(John 8:31-32 or what this scripture mean to them John 4;23-24) and then go from there because most jws knowledge of the Bible is shallow,all in all good video keep up the good work ,and plant seeds and take it slow with jws .also dont let them know that you are ex jws because you know they are going to head for the sun set. Matthew 7:6
Okay you do video then on the spot when they're trying to preach to an old man on a bench and let's see how good you are LOL I was Jehovah's Witness for 39 years I think I know what I'm doing and it's not me anyway its God so he directs me if I want to tell them I'm a Jehovah's Witness I will but I appreciate it🤍 looking forward to your video
@@exjwlaura My bad ,i didnt mean any harm , i will not offer anymore advice on your videos to you ,you are very rude ,and btw i was a jw since 1984 so do the math and i was also an adult when i became a witness ,also remember this scripture and think about the way you hung me, the next time you try to offer some one some loving advice.Matthew 7:12
Seems to me, a truly loving God, would have done a better job having his precious word/directions passed down to us. Shouldn't he have known how imperfect, biased, judgemental, and opinionated, humans are? Charlatans of every religion imagined have been able to take advantage of unsuspecting, vulnerable, otherwise good-hearted people, since the beginning of time, using this library of books, written by men.
It's interesting statement because every book was written by men even the book that people believe in Evolution or the government or how the banks work every book that you've ever owned was written by man why do you believe the others and not the one that has lasted six thousand years. We have a conscience we know right and wrong even Lloyd Evans who is an atheist agrees that the killings in Germany were wrong, he has a moral compass even though he believes that he's just a makeup of chemicals, God has put it in our heart that we need him that we cannot direct our step it's obvious through history in the books that man has written. So I just put my trust in the only man that ever died and resurrected for me, Jesus is the answer. He is the only answer not religion.
Wouldn't Satan be the one who would want to interrupt God's Will being carried out? JWs just cannot be ignored. Just as their leader Jesus just couldn't be ignored. (John 8:40) But now you are seeking to kill me, A MAN who has told you the TRUTH THAT I HEARD FROM GOD.
John 8:24 Jesus says if you don’t believe that I am “HE” you will die in your sins. If HE is God why doesn’t he just say so ANYWHERE? He never once called himself God but always the Son of God. He is the mirror image of his Father. The exact representation of his being. Since when is a representation the same as the original? He is divine like his Father and of the same nature as his Father but he is the LITERAL SON of God a separate being.
You just read it and John 8:24 Jesus did say he was God, only God can forgive sins remember the Pharisees said that in all the gospels, Jesus is forgiving sins and the Pharisees say why do you forgive sins only God can do that. And he doesn't say the word "he" he says I am, that's when they picked up stones to kill him because he took the name of Yahweh and applied it to himself. Just like you are a body Soul and Spirit but one human there is one God made up of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit.
@@exjwlaura So every time Jesus says the words “I am” this or that then he’s claiming to be God? Then why didn’t the Jews pickup stones to kill him in John 8:24 if that was a claim of divinity? It’s because he wasn’t claiming to be God but the Messiah, the light of the world and the one sent by God. Read the context. And John 8:58 is not a claim to divinity either since Jesus never called himself, “I am what I am” or “I will be what I will be” or as the LXX puts it: “I am the Being..” He simply made the claim to exist before Abraham and that, along with all the times he called the Devil their father was enough for them to falsely accuse him of blasphemy. As far as forgiveness of sins it was the Jews who were reasoning that only God could forgive sins, not Jesus. He just read what was in their hearts. Do you make it a habit to form your theology based on what the religious leaders who were in opposition to Christ and who were constantly accusing him of false charges thought? That seems like a recipe for disaster. The fact is even the disciples had the power to forgive sins because they were given that authority by means Christ via the Holy Spirit. John 20:22, 23 says, “And after he said this he blew upon them and said to them: Receive holy spirit 23 If you forgive the sins of any persons, they stand forgiven to them.” So obviously the forgiving of sins isn’t only accomplished by God himself. He can delegate this authority to forgive sins to whomever he wishes, including his Son.
@@Nadiaviotto no keep reading they did pick up stones but he hid himself John 8:59 So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple. (ESV)
@@exjwlaura You’re not understanding what I’m saying. You said at John 8:24 Jesus calls himself God because he said, “I am he.”. If that is also a claim of divinity then why didn’t they pick up stones to kill him then? Or in verse 28? If it was so offensive why didn’t they immediately try to stone him as soon as he said it? That makes no sense
@@Nadiaviotto nah bro you literally said they didn't do it because he wasn't God and then I show you the scripture that says they did try to do it and you say that's not what you mean, come on if I was saying to you I'm the way the truth and the life you would know that I'm trying to say I'm Jesus from the Bible Jesus came saying he was God throughout all of the New Testament he was literally saying he was God the Pharisees were not confused.
If people payed more attention to how the bible is demonstrably false, rather than having semantical arguments. The world would be a much better place.
@@BornAgainExJw I have watched multiple videos of Christian apologetics and have found them to be antithetical to the narrative propounded in the bible.
@@bradwhelan4466 I didn’t ask if you have watched apologists videos, I suggested a particular video. You don’t have to watch it, it’s just amazing how much Christianity has contributed to the thriving of mankind, including your ability to read and write can be easily linked back to the printing press and the urgency of Christian missionaries to get as many people as possible to be able to read God’s word for themselves. I just find your original statement kinda (and I mean no offense) Hollow, your claiming things you can’t know, so it just comes across as you having a chip on your shoulder rather than a rational observation.
I said I'm going to take a break and then went in and interrupted 😉 oops couldn't help myself
Who could blame you? 😄

One Body made up of 9 people.
