I feel sad that the JW have completely been detached from Jesus Christ, the word of God. Instead they are pointed to the organisation's literature rather that the Bible.
@nyakalonumuchima8829 no my friend the Jesus that people in Christendom believe in is not the "Son of God" describe in the bible but it is the false "god the son". Where in the bible does it call Jesus"god the son" isn't the "Son of God" that the bible describes Jesus, this is Jesus we follow Jehova's Witnesses follow and bow down to as our King and redeemer not a false "god the son" but the Mighty Son of God who will soon bring many blessings to righteous Mankind (Psalms 37:29)
The disfellowshipping structure has been around since the 1950's under the direction of Nathan Knorr. It would be one thing if the adjustments were made because of long overdue self-reflection instead of governments like Norway seeing the damage they have done to people, esp. children, over many decades. Amazing how cutting off the money leads to "new light"
It's fascinating how sometimes a little financial pressure can turn on the light bulb of realization. Maybe we should start charging for more “new light” moments!
I really like and agree with your last sentence. Its all about the money. They are telling their members exactly who they are and it flabbergasts me that none of their members are using that beautiful brain that God created them with. I believe that brings shame on the JW's organization. Its like a bunch of Scarecrows from the movie The Wizard of Oz because they dont have a brain and they really do but they are choosing not to use them and God says ignorance is no excuse, they will still be held accountable. May God help them and He will so I pay they ask Him for their help and guidance. May God bless you.❤❤❤
I never understood why JW treat disfellowshipped people worse than worldly people. Worldly people are just as capable of doing the actions disfellowshipped people do but we can contact with them …so how is that showing love for your brother that has faillen ? When king David sinned Jehovah still spoke with him and ultimately forgave him so isn’t this proof the Jehovah can be merciful so who are we to say what is right to do or wrong
@@TLSRUclips Its a control mechanism to make price leaving higher. Its not loving about loving any one. They treat outside because they want to appear to be nice and attract those who are unfortunate!
It's nothing to do with what the "Dr" imagines. It's all to do with what the word of God tells all Christians to do: 1cor5:11 ESV But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler - not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13 God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.” Notice, "Anyone who bears the name of a brother", that refers to a person within the congregation that chooses to no longer live in harmony with God's principles. Nothing to do with "control". Right Dr?
The reason why the disfellowship with harshness is because they progressed Christs ransom to the next stage of making Kings. They thought it was their Job. Thats why Jesus when he returns will comdemn them!
@TLSRUclips were there consequences for King David's sinful course? You mentioned "Jehovah ultimately forgave him", that is exactly correct. We all fall short and sin... but to choose a life course of willfully disobeying God's clear requirements obviously has consequences. It may require doing as Paul instructed and removing a person from the congregation to protect the congregation and hopefully as Nathan did with David, lead the person to repent and come back to serving Jehovah. I have many friends that chose to leave. Many have come back. And absolutely every one of them says it was their own choices and actions that led to the removal, for a time. Read 1cor5.. the man was removed from among them... with what result? In his very next letter to the Corinthians the man had changed his behavior and been welcomed back, they were to "cornfirm their love" for him. The congregation was protected from the "little leaven" and the man restored his relationship with God. The same today.

They are trying to get away from the word disfellowship. That word goes back to the 1950's. We all were familiar with that word and what it implied. Now, that word has been replaced with removed. Everything else remained the same. They just go to a different sounding word, same meaning though and they think it makes a difference. Oh, we don't disfellowship anymore. What a joke.
Just imagine a mother ignoring her crying child,... but going door to door pretending to be "Christ-like". Then you understand Jesus saying,... "Depart from me,... I NEVER knew you"

Thank you so very much for a great video… I am not a Jehovah’s Witness, but am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints… I have gone to the kingdom hall a bit in the past and studied with the Jehovah’s Witnesses a bit… Anyway, this was very educational and enlightening and very well done by this brother!!!!

They just changed the wording, nothing has changed at all. As for minors, parents would always have to assume their responsibilities. If they don't, Children Services would be after them for neglect. So what has changed? The worldly Governments care more for children than the Watchtower Society. Even at 18, they are still children, your children.
Money is the reason for the change. The Governing Body don't give a rat's arse if someone is shunned, in fact it benefits them because tightens their grip on the minds of the rank and file. But they do care about money, especially tax free money and government grants. It was the decision of the Norwegian court and the possibility of other countries following suit that caused them to shit themselves and make a hasty change of policy
Thank you for your fine work my brother. And on the subject of beards, I thought that they were supposed to be separate from the world and now they are following the trend. I have nothing against a beard- I believe it has always been natural because our Father created man that way. Keep up the good work!😘😘😘

While TRUTH will indeed set you free; the problem lies in knowing TRUTH and not to form one's own perception of TRUTH. Next would be to completely submit TRUTH, which is a way of life and not simply attempting to be honest. TRUTH is PERFECT; not almost perfect, or good enough, or acceptable.

Watchtower had been around for 150 years and will be around for another 100. It has had worse number loss, like 30% membership drop in the 1930’s under Rutherford. Yet, it survived. It knows how to adapt.
The ‘Good News’ of JW’s is to convince their audience the Governing Body is the sole channel between God and mankind today ? To deny their audience the very hope they themselves entertain. To convince the adherents they are not a Child of God, do not belong to Christ, nor have his spirit and the kingdom of the heavens is closed. The one hope, one lord and one baptism was a limited time offer? The ‘free gift’ expired? But Living up to their ‘dedication vow’ obeying the leadership to be Jehovah’s Friend will save them?
Nothing has changed apart from the terminology ... how gods true representation on earth has bowed down to a little country like Norway! Cowards... How did the apostles react when persecuted Acts chapter 4 verses 18-20!
They can't be more wrong, and you are more right. If you a rotten orange in the middle of the basket, you leave it in the same basket, and before you find out, the whole basket is gone rotten for sake of one or two oranges. You are the most wicked man, if you decide to let three rotten tomatoes to destroy the whole basket. Thanks
This governing body seem to think they are GOD HIMSELF. I don't think Moses or Abraham was so self righteous & they actually was in communication with GOD. that said you people trying to get attention by attacking others beliefs is sickening as well.. like following you is better.. you all are bad examples with bad motives..
Atleast JW seem to be quite forthcoming about the changes to their doctrines unlike other cults (e.g Shincheonji, WMSCG etc. ) who either flat out deny or gaslight their members about changes to their doctrines over the years.
Was Auschwitz a "bad" thing? Who told you that? Why do you believe that? When a mother and father create a child,... are they creating "evil",... or a creation with free will,... and thus,... the "capacity" for evil. For a perspective on why evil and suffering exists in the world,... consider "Mere Christianity" by CS Lewis.
On the brink of colapse? Have you not seen our worldwide numbers? Our faith is the true religion, and it is all based on the Lord's Prayer and why we are in perfect harmony with Jesus model Prayer. No.1 the sanctification of the fathers name (Jehovah's name see Ezekiel 36:23) No.2 God's kingdom come: Jesus was sent to preach the Kingdom of God( see Luke 4:43) and then Jesus sends his true followers to preach the Kingdom and then the end will come( see Mathew 24:14) No.3 God's will done on earth as in heaven as in Heaven , Jesus said that the Meek will inherit the earth Psalms the righteous will posses the earth and LIVE forerver upon it ) so tell me how is it that JW's are collapsing? Christendom is collapsing , just look at how many people go to church anymore, it is sad and collapsing Many blessings to those who can see that truth of Matthew 6:9,10 the Lord's prayer.
I would send you a letter I received from a professor of theology from a famous university in London who said the JW organization is not going anywhere and went on to say he felt they had the truth.
@@ronhansen8471 Jehovah's Witnesses are deeply indoctrinated to believe they possess "the truth," a conviction that is central to their identity. However, simply claiming to have the truth does not make it so. Every cult asserts the same claim, often with the same level of confidence. In fact, the absolute certainty of possessing exclusive truth is a hallmark of cults. This is why critical examination and independent thinking are essential when evaluating such assertions, rather than relying on endorsements or repeating doctrinal claims.
How can Jehovah's Witnesses have the truth when they lie and deceive? For example, when they deceitfully misquote scholars about whether Jesus died on a cross or stake and deceitfully make it sound like the scholar agrees with their doctrine that Jesus died on a stake. Or, when Jehovah's Witnesses gave false end time dates. Or when Jehovah's Witnesses deceitfully add to their translation of the Bible and fool all their members into believing they never added, took away, or twisted the scriptures.
Post it here....watchtower is nothing but a deceptive cult since it's inception of the international Bible students....Russell's so called miracle wheat and false end dates....Rutherfords false 1925 prediction to Beth Sarim....Fred Frazens 1975 end date debacle....lied in when he said he could read Greek....proven in court he couldn't....modern day governing body is running a real-estate empire massacring around as a religion!
Nice. I often wonder about you people. How are you financed? I can't tell you how refreshing it was to read your last comment! You may notice thst if a JW gives an answer that is not exactly what the person wants to hear or has in mind, we are often accused of "running" or "dishonesty" or my favorite, "avoiding the question", ironically by answering the question. To be honest, I feel a bit gross commenting or giving any support to this "Dr's" page as his whole premise is demonstrably a load of garbage. Anyone can say anything about us on a RUclips video, but I can guarantee you, what he is saying it is absolutely not the case in my experience. It's to be expected though. .Matt5:11
@JonnyDoe-k1k 1- We Gideon's support the printing of Holy Bibles which then go out to Gideon "camps" worldwide for distribution and Gospel sharing! In addition to our own contributions,... many Evangelical churches partner with Gideons as part of their own global mission outreaches! Businesses and individuals also support the ministry as "Friends of Gideon's". The ministry has distributed 2.7 BILLION Holy Bibles since 1908 and average annual distribution exceeds 70 Million! So yes,... our family and our friends are humbled and grateful for the opportunity to actively share Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, throughout the world! 2- Assuming you have fact-checked my point regarding the jw watchtower teaching that one must be part of their organization to obtain salvation,... do you believe rhat?
@pvmoore1154 I found this on our website: The terms “save” and “salvation” are sometimes used by Bible writers to convey the idea of a person’s being delivered from danger or destruction. (Exodus 14:13, 14; Acts 27:20) Often, though, these terms refer to deliverance from sin. (Matthew 1:21) Since death is caused by sin, people who are saved from sin have the hope of living forever.-John 3:16, 17. a What is the way to salvation? To gain salvation, you must exercise faith in Jesus and demonstrate that faith by obeying his commands.-Acts 4:10, 12; Romans 10:9, 10; Hebrews 5:9. The Bible shows that you must have works, or acts of obedience, to prove that your faith is alive. (James 2:24, 26) However, this does not mean that you can earn salvation. It is “God’s gift” based on his “undeserved kindness,” or “grace.”-Ephesians 2:8, 9; King James Version. That's reasonable, right? Do you think it matters to YHWH whether we worship him as a trinity or as the Father only?
@pvmoore1154 cool. I just downloaded your app for a look. Is it the standard ESV Bible? What are your thoughts on Jesus words at John4:23,24 and Luke4:8? It relates to your question.
@@JonnyDoe-k1k Neighbor, I have answered a number of your questions; 1) Does worldwide preaching require organization? 2) Am I getting questions from "Tazzy"? 3) How do I personally participate in sharing the Gospel? 4) How are Gideons financed? 5) Yes. English Standard Version. Yet,... your response to my singular and repeated question,... is yet another,... question??? Neighbor,... the fact that you are unwilling to answer the simplest of questions about salvation, should be a COLOSSAL "red flag" for you! May we please pray for you?
Are those who criticize Jehovah's Witnesses worshipping God in spirit and in truth? (John 4:23, 24) Do they share the good news about God's Kingdom as Jesus commanded? (Matthew 28:19-20; Matthew 24:14) Do they live by the Bible's moral standards by avoiding things like insults, violence, and discrimination? (Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10) Do they show love and unity among themselves? (John 13:35) Do they stay away from wars and politics? (John 15:19) After careful examination, I have found that many critics do not do these things. Instead, they are divided in their beliefs and often act in ways that go against God's standards, such as being prejudiced, using insults, and supporting immoral actions like homosexuality. Furthermore, they neglect to preach the good news of the Kingdom and often involve themselves in worldly conflicts and politics. Their intent is to discourage, distract, sow doubts, and stop the preaching work of Jehovah's witnesses. But we know they won't succeed. Why? Because pure worship belongs to Jehovah, not to humans. He is the one who has established it on earth as it is in heaven. Anyone attempting to stop it is fighting against God and will ultimately fail. (Isaiah 54:17) Over the years, many have attempted to hinder Jehovah's Witnesses through false information, imprisonment, and violence. (Matthew 5:9-12; 24:9, 13) However, these efforts have been unsuccessful because Jehovah is backing us up! (Daniel 11:32-35; James 1:12).
Connecting the divine name to a sect of liars and false prophets is blasphemy. You do not honor the son like the father John 5,23 but you honor men. Repent and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Acts 4,12. Your governing body will not save you on judgment day.
Our motivation is preventing watchtower cult members from preaching (door to door) a false Jesus and a false Gospel to unsuspecting potential victims,... and,... helping current and active victims escape the cult and be born-again, through our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.

And not say anything to my parents and that it shouldn’t stop me from getting baptized while covering up violet sexual abuse as a child now I have Complex PTSD AND DEPERSONALIZATION DEREALISATION DISORDER EVEN MY ELDEST BROTHER COMMITTED SUICIDE THIS HAS EFFECTED MY MENTAL STATE
Collapsed? Lol far from it but thanks for your eager response for your distractive message, secondly all religion soon will collapse and then once you guys are happy with all collapse, I hope your happy with whatever faith and relationship you have with the almighty and his son, once the great tribulation starts.
love being an atheist. all that religious shit in the org exists in fundementalism as well. Feeling born again since I threw my Bible on the trash heap.
I am born again from Spirit and water, the Lord Jesus lives us, He died for us so whoever believes in Him will have everlasting life. John 3 entire chapter. Many believers around the world pray for people salvation in Christ, turn away from cults. Jesus Christ died for all people, whoever believe in Him will have everlasting life, He helps us in this corrupt world live in peace and learn love others, forgive who offended us. For serving Jehovah first we need to turn to His Son Jesus Christ confesing own sins for forgiveness and to start to be transformed from evil to good by the help of the Holy Spirit. Cults always want to control to much their members. God created to be free, use our brain for good.
I feel sad that the JW have completely been detached from Jesus Christ, the word of God. Instead they are pointed to the organisation's literature rather that the Bible.
It proves that they never were of God. They reject the true biblical God.

No.2 God's kingdom come: Jesus was sent to preach the Kingdom of God( see Luke 4:43) and then Jesus sends his true followers to preach the Kingdom and then the end will come( see Mathew 24:14)
No.3 God's will done on earth as in heaven as in Heaven , Jesus said that the Meek will inherit the earth Psalms the righteous will posses the earth and LIVE forerver upon it )
so tell me how is it that JW's are collapsing?
Christendom is collapsing , just look at how many people go to church anymore, it is sad and collapsing
Many blessings to those who can see that truth of Matthew 6:9,10 the Lord's prayer.
I would send you a letter I received from a professor of theology from a famous university in London who said the JW organization is not going anywhere and went on to say he felt they had the truth.
@@ronhansen8471 Jehovah's Witnesses are deeply indoctrinated to believe they possess "the truth," a conviction that is central to their identity. However, simply claiming to have the truth does not make it so. Every cult asserts the same claim, often with the same level of confidence. In fact, the absolute certainty of possessing exclusive truth is a hallmark of cults. This is why critical examination and independent thinking are essential when evaluating such assertions, rather than relying on endorsements or repeating doctrinal claims.
A professor ? A university ? No facts when it comes from a JW
How can Jehovah's Witnesses have the truth when they lie and deceive? For example, when they deceitfully misquote scholars about whether Jesus died on a cross or stake and deceitfully make it sound like the scholar agrees with their doctrine that Jesus died on a stake. Or, when Jehovah's Witnesses gave false end time dates. Or when Jehovah's Witnesses deceitfully add to their translation of the Bible and fool all their members into believing they never added, took away, or twisted the scriptures.
Post it here....watchtower is nothing but a deceptive cult since it's inception of the international Bible students....Russell's so called miracle wheat and false end dates....Rutherfords false 1925 prediction to Beth Sarim....Fred Frazens 1975 end date debacle....lied in when he said he could read Greek....proven in court he couldn't....modern day governing body is running a real-estate empire massacring around as a religion!
Ron as you have shown so many times, you invent stories.
"Gideon" - JonnyDoe
Nice. I often wonder about you people.
How are you financed?
I can't tell you how refreshing it was to read your last comment!
You may notice thst if a JW gives an answer that is not exactly what the person wants to hear or has in mind, we are often accused of "running" or "dishonesty" or my favorite, "avoiding the question", ironically by answering the question.
To be honest, I feel a bit gross commenting or giving any support to this "Dr's" page as his whole premise is demonstrably a load of garbage.
Anyone can say anything about us on a RUclips video, but I can guarantee you, what he is saying it is absolutely not the case in my experience.
It's to be expected though.
.Matt5:11
@JonnyDoe-k1k 1- We Gideon's support the printing of Holy Bibles which then go out to Gideon "camps" worldwide for distribution and Gospel sharing! In addition to our own contributions,... many Evangelical churches partner with Gideons as part of their own global mission outreaches! Businesses and individuals also support the ministry as "Friends of Gideon's". The ministry has distributed 2.7 BILLION Holy Bibles since 1908 and average annual distribution exceeds 70 Million! So yes,... our family and our friends are humbled and grateful for the opportunity to actively share Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, throughout the world!
2- Assuming you have fact-checked my point regarding the jw watchtower teaching that one must be part of their organization to obtain salvation,... do you believe rhat?
@pvmoore1154 I found this on our website:
The terms “save” and “salvation” are sometimes used by Bible writers to convey the idea of a person’s being delivered from danger or destruction. (Exodus 14:13, 14; Acts 27:20) Often, though, these terms refer to deliverance from sin. (Matthew 1:21) Since death is caused by sin, people who are saved from sin have the hope of living forever.-John 3:16, 17. a
What is the way to salvation?
To gain salvation, you must exercise faith in Jesus and demonstrate that faith by obeying his commands.-Acts 4:10, 12; Romans 10:9, 10; Hebrews 5:9.
The Bible shows that you must have works, or acts of obedience, to prove that your faith is alive. (James 2:24, 26) However, this does not mean that you can earn salvation. It is “God’s gift” based on his “undeserved kindness,” or “grace.”-Ephesians 2:8, 9; King James Version.
That's reasonable, right?
Do you think it matters to YHWH whether we worship him as a trinity or as the Father only?
@pvmoore1154 cool. I just downloaded your app for a look.
Is it the standard ESV Bible?
What are your thoughts on Jesus words at John4:23,24 and Luke4:8?
It relates to your question.
@@JonnyDoe-k1k Neighbor, I have answered a number of your questions; 1) Does worldwide preaching require organization? 2) Am I getting questions from "Tazzy"? 3) How do I personally participate in sharing the Gospel? 4) How are Gideons financed? 5) Yes. English Standard Version. Yet,... your response to my singular and repeated question,... is yet another,... question??? Neighbor,... the fact that you are unwilling to answer the simplest of questions about salvation, should be a COLOSSAL "red flag" for you! May we please pray for you?
The watch tower is a money money making machine
Are those who criticize Jehovah's Witnesses worshipping God in spirit and in truth? (John 4:23, 24) Do they share the good news about God's Kingdom as Jesus commanded? (Matthew 28:19-20; Matthew 24:14) Do they live by the Bible's moral standards by avoiding things like insults, violence, and discrimination? (Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10) Do they show love and unity among themselves? (John 13:35) Do they stay away from wars and politics? (John 15:19)
After careful examination, I have found that many critics do not do these things. Instead, they are divided in their beliefs and often act in ways that go against God's standards, such as being prejudiced, using insults, and supporting immoral actions like homosexuality. Furthermore, they neglect to preach the good news of the Kingdom and often involve themselves in worldly conflicts and politics.
Their intent is to discourage, distract, sow doubts, and stop the preaching work of Jehovah's witnesses. But we know they won't succeed. Why? Because pure worship belongs to Jehovah, not to humans. He is the one who has established it on earth as it is in heaven. Anyone attempting to stop it is fighting against God and will ultimately fail. (Isaiah 54:17)
Over the years, many have attempted to hinder Jehovah's Witnesses through false information, imprisonment, and violence. (Matthew 5:9-12; 24:9, 13) However, these efforts have been unsuccessful because Jehovah is backing us up! (Daniel 11:32-35; James 1:12).
You are disobeying your leaders by coming to channels like this. Your leaders who are false prophets.
All your Bible citations mean nothing. The Bible is just a human book of stories, myths and allegory.
You're a cult
YHWH won't let us fall apart
Connecting the divine name to a sect of liars and false prophets is blasphemy. You do not honor the son like the father John 5,23 but you honor men. Repent and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Acts 4,12. Your governing body will not save you on judgment day.
@Bravedog2017 You do not honor or know YHWH but emperors named Constantine. Your trinity believing pastors will not save you at Armageddon.
@@dirkfirkle73 Jehovah's Witnesses are the true worshippers of YHWH
You distance yourself from him! You actually worship 11 millionaires, claiming they have a heavenly hope.
@@AdamLopez1985 No! No, you are not! You claim you are for your own ego. JW's make their own rules up and claim it's from the bible!
I am sure you are from Nigeria
Who are you
speculation
You are the messenger of who my man ? You are busy creating problems for your family bro
What about the drugs you're investing the world with
Just leave us alone with our worship.whats your problem? We don't bother anyone.
@@jameschipungu9168 You trouble everyone with Armageddon
Our motivation is preventing watchtower cult members from preaching (door to door) a false Jesus and a false Gospel to unsuspecting potential victims,... and,... helping current and active victims escape the cult and be born-again, through our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.
You do bother people the ones you remove and shun!!! It’s disgusting!!!
And sexual abuse and sexual assault that gets hidden from my parents because the elder wanted me to forget it. And not say anything to my parents and that it shouldn’t stop me from getting baptized while covering up violet sexual abuse as a child now I have Complex PTSD AND DEPERSONALIZATION DEREALISATION DISORDER EVEN MY ELDEST BROTHER COMMITTED SUICIDE THIS HAS EFFECTED MY MENTAL STATE
You are talking a whole lot of hogwash!!
Collapsed? Lol far from it but thanks for your eager response for your distractive message, secondly all religion soon will collapse and then once you guys are happy with all collapse, I hope your happy with whatever faith and relationship you have with the almighty and his son, once the great tribulation starts.
@@tiannasmith3750It is not our doing but your own as JWs..
That’s funny!!
how do you know whats true
Tianna, Did you ask your elders if it would be ok to watch and comment on this video?
You can say what ever you like or think about this religion, the truth is that is the only true religion
love being an atheist. all that religious shit in the org exists in fundementalism as well. Feeling born again since I threw my Bible on the trash heap.
Try Jesus, the Christian faith is all about him
I am born again from Spirit and water, the Lord Jesus lives us, He died for us so whoever believes in Him will have everlasting life. John 3 entire chapter. Many believers around the world pray for people salvation in Christ, turn away from cults.
Jesus Christ died for all people, whoever believe in Him will have everlasting life, He helps us in this corrupt world live in peace and learn love others, forgive who offended us.
For serving Jehovah first we need to turn to His Son Jesus Christ confesing own sins for forgiveness and to start to be transformed from evil to good by the help of the Holy Spirit.
Cults always want to control to much their members.
God created to be free, use our brain for good.
