I was raised in this cult and was 4th generation. When I wanted a personal relationship with God, the Holy Spirit led me out of this cult. It took me about 10 years to clear my head of all the lies that I was taught. I am grateful to have a clear mind to learn the True scriptures. Jesus is now the Lord over my life.
So you just went from one set of lies to another? Do you have any actual EVIDENCE for claims about a talking snake, talking donkey, 900-year-old men, virgin birth and zombies? What do we have the most evidence for? 1) liars existing and being common, 2) credulous fools who believe nonsense claims on faith, or 3) absurd supernatural claims about talking snakes, etc?
Mr. Jamie Michaels or mrs. Jamie Michaels go out everywhere and tell your testimony on this topic everywhere you go it will be a great help to you and the rest of us as the body of Christ and until the great reunions see you there God bless you and all that comes in contact with you with the proper true doctrine of Our Lord God and the Sun and the Holy Spirit that dwells in US
Jesus will never be the Almighty God
@@seanmorris4095 Because he's simply a literary character in a book written by anonymous, biased fanatics that also has stories about a talking snake, talking donkey, 900-year-old men, virgin birth and zombies, that is most likely false?
@@mythbuster1483 😂😂 You here.
Glad i saw this.
Here you act like a athiest and in other comments you are trying to make Jesus God.
I was raised JW. My dad was the presiding overseer and became a circuit overseer once the 4 of us girls were raised. My mom was/is a regular pioneer. I knew at age 12 something was off. After being a regular pioneer as a teenager, I married a JW at age 19 and was disfellowshipped at age 22. I started reading the Bible on my own and became a follower of Christ at age 25. I continue in the grace-filled sanctification process. Pray for the rest of my family - still in the cult and won't speak to me for the past 31 years. I pray we will all be worshipping the Lord together someday!
Thank you for posting, Tracy. I will pray for your family to be delivered.
Praying for your family’s salvation!!
Kerp praying
You need to pray for YOURSELF and listen to your family before the great Tribulation soon hits.
@@lewislinzy3437 Oh dear Lewis...I have no fear of these last days or the upcoming great tribulation and Armageddon as I know my Redeemer Jesus Christ lives and even if I die during the world's shaking, I will live in eternity with Christ. Praying for you to have peace and no longer walk in fear of future events. In love, Tracy
I was raised in this mess & I left at the age of 46 & am now 65 , I'm still untangling my brain but with the holy spirit and people like you and reading my Bible I'm getting there ,Thank you
Hi. I'm not a JW. I'd like to read the story of how you left. I have an interest in such things.
you have chosen a very good teacher. i is very impressed with Mike.
So swapped one delusion for another one then?
@@mirandahotspring4019
you are very awesome, indeed!
@@mirandahotspring4019 It is the JWs who have delusional - and unbiblical - beliefs.
It’s strange. I met a woman one time and my personal thought was she had JW written all over her. And I was right, I found out later that she is.
Discernment is not just a gift, it’s a responsibility, and as believers, the Holy Spirit provides it. Praise God🙏🏼❤️
I was thinking of this same thing. Many times I have wondered about someone I have just come to know, thinking "they feel like Christians, but something is different." Same with some mormons. I was right every time.
I am more inclined to believe them than a trinitarian
@@northstar2621 I’m glad you said, “some” when you mentioned Mormons. The ONLY thing Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons have in common is going two by two door to door as Jesus instructed. Jehovah’s Witnesses follow Jesus’ humble example and worship Jesus’ Father as our God and Father as Jesus did, and they teach from the Bible, not from a church dogma that conflicts with the Bible (The Book of Mormon). Witness literature is completely Bible-based. 🙏🏽🫠👍🏽💞
Unlike Witnesses who follow the example of Jesus and his disciples, Mormons make converts to make more money with their mandatory tithing rules, and they do not worship God (Jehovah) even though Jehovah’s name appears in their Bible at least once or twice. Their worship of their early founders has no basis in Christianity. Their history is rife with murders and polygamous relationships with young girls by pedophiles and all women being treated like animals for breeding. 🥺
@@northstar2621 s8o I see that you're a psychic is that correct?
@@jazzbassf No. I believe we can sense things in our spirit that we cannot with our natural senses.
I was raised in Christian Science and found it terribly difficult to believe anything else. Thank God at 25 years old I escaped and have been a Christ follower for 40 years ❤️
Hello how are you doing today
Awesome!!
I was married to a Christian Scientist for 28 years. I became a born again Christian 2 1/2 years before we divorced. I remarried a year later and my ex remarried 4 years later. Fortunately she started to question her beliefs and left that faith, became a born again Christian and married a great Christian guy. So thankful the Holy Spirit grabbed hold of her and led her to the true faith. Today she can’t believe how blinded she was to the truth! Praise God!!
@@rickprice4515 - No, God is against divorce. You are only fooling yourselves, not God. You must get back with your real wife before you die.
@@rickprice4515 Yet there are born again Christians who left after many years of being exploited by the church.
Why are people accepting and willingly commit to some church and years later look for another? Such people are unsteady in all their ways as God is saying. He doesn't need people who are not loving what He loves. What's that? Others. Why is God so late? Because He wishes that all repent and come to Him. Biting like serpents is not loving . You actually are murdering in your heart people you don't like for some silly reason. Holy Spirit grabs? Wow that is a new one.
My mother was a JW for many years. She eventually learned the truth and is now a Christian
Praise the LORD!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the truth?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@thehueseastwings7215 TR UTH
@@thehueseastwings7215 Jehovah’s Witness believe their religion is pure worship and they’ll be saved when Armageddon comes and others will be destroyed. They believe Jesus is Michael the archangel
Wow ! I learned much from your clarifications. God bless you
Thank you Lord Jesus for pulling me out of this cult.
This man is 💯 % accurate! I will say this, being raised JW since I was 3, it was hard being a child in this man made religion. No 😢celebrating birthdays, no holidays, no nothing. Got grounded for being caught singing in a Christmas program, got grounded for having Valentine cards under my bed. Got put in a girls group home when I was 16 & had a blast! My brother was baptized in it when he was 16 & was disfellowshipped shortly after & didn’t ever get to speak with my mom til she was on her deathbed a couple of years ago! Can you imagine not talking to your son/being a son who can’t speak with his mom since 17’ish?!? It’s horrific! I am so proud of my brother for turning himself into a GREAT person without a mom or a dad his entire adult life! He’s a beautiful human being who stands tall and loves God and Jesus Christ, and has a beautiful family (2 boys and 2 girls). Me, I’m ok too. ;) Praise Jah! 😇 p.s. I don’t hate my mom. She did the best she could. God rest her soul. I’m sure she see’s now…
So still being a Christian only means you've swapped one delusion for another of a slightly different flavour. So much for escaping!
What is Jah? Is that a religion? I've just never heard that word. No disrespect.
@@mirandahotspring4019 have blessed and happy new year mocker!
@@user-ht6ii1yj2i blessed is nonsense, but I will have a happy new year.
if the witnesses are a cult then what' would the mormorns be absolutely false , the witnesses believes in the living God , I am not going to argue with people concerning this matter , they proclaim the kingdom of God and as i said the only thing Jesus spoke about in the Isaiah about a class presumably doing great works for God , but they trampling on devine aspects , and it was Shown to me is hell issue they preach , by promising the sinner life , other than this they are no worse than any church on this planet , look at the people and not what is preached alome , how they dissatisfied with the truth, and if the Jehovah witness people glorifies God the Father, they automatically glorifies the Son of God because they are one in what they do . Jesus in the Father and the Father in the Son
"There are two ways to be fooled..One is to believe what isnt true,the other is to refuse to accept what is true". Soren Kierkegaard.
Right , Satan will try to get you to believe what is true isn't and vice versa .
I thought there were an infinite number of ways !
With all KNOWN idisputable corruptions found In both Tanakh and NT...what IS true?

Former JW here. Saved 15 years ago, reformed pastor today.
You were savED?? But the end isn't here yet!
@@StretchMn salvation is spoken of in scripture in all three tenses, past event, present reality, and future promise. In other words, it’s proper to speak of having been saved, currently being saved, and someday will be saved.
@StephenMJohnson1024 No. It's always future. Because the end isn't yet. And judgment hasn't happened. Yet.
Ac. 16:31 - Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will get saved, (will is future tense; saved is past tense)
Mt. 24:13 - "He that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.” (end/will is future tense; saved is past tense)
We are warned about thinking we are "saved" or "once saved always saved."
1 Co. 10:12 - So let the one who thinks he is standing beware that he does not fall.
Php. 2:12 - says to keep working out your own salvation... (Notice the words used? Keep, remain, endure? All action words. We have to keep believing and stay faithful)
Stephen, may I ask you a honest simple question please? (Respectfully)
Would you agree with this statement. yes/no
Jesus Christ is the Almighty God who came into this world INSIDE a human body, INSIDE a human being, INSIDE a human man. yes or no.
Very Sincere regards.
@@SMJ0hnson Stephen, if I may comment, we are saved from the power of sin. Rom.5:9-10 (KJV)
We are NOT yet saved from the wrath to come. ONLY if we abide in the faith/doctrine of Jesus Christ (the word of God KJV version) confessing his name among men, walking in his commandments, going onto perfection, enduring to the end, THEN we shall be saved from that Wrath that is to come.
Regards.
I was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness and missionary Baptist by parents with two different beliefs. This video is amazing because you have really done your research and comparison with scripture. Thank you for your kindness to the witnesses and your prayers for them that they accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior
Witnesses have always followed Jesus’ teachings and example and recognize him as the Son of God and our Savior. 🫠👍🏽💞🙏🏼
No one is raised a JW. Becoming one of JWs takes time and effort.
One probably means that one grew up in a JW environment.
What is amazing in the video ? I saw a lot contradictions in this man alone ! In the last prayer this man is praying in the name of Jehovah he has rejected 😀😀😀
A part from I heard this guy saying opposing the truth about three groups ooh 😂 look at the same place he was reading in Revelation chap 7:1- 8, through the same chapter on verset 9 it reads “ After that ….. I Saw a great crowd “ isn’t that enough to prove there is two groups of true believers ? In John it is about “ other sheep” and “two flocks” !
When it comes to the tactics provided to like “sue “ JW I think it won’t work out !😀 JW are very rooted in the truth that no other people on earth can resist them. 😀 unless you advise people to get into nonsense discussions with them! I am not one of them while writing down this but I hope I will become one of them 😂! Why ? Because when you try to find convincing arguments against their beliefs or practices the way you pretended doing through your video , I realized that your arguments were so light, tu be honest ! For example , when you mentioned John 1:1 , do you think a true God can belong to the past? 🤷🏻♀️ how ?
And another argument that I found not holding is what you criticized about the stake of torture ! It is true that Romans never used a cross to torture people but poles ! Jesus did not do an exception
@@byendoeric You made many valid points. Thank you for your post. In the last couple of days I had two people who twisted everything I said and just wanted to argue…the last thing I will do, (especially when the person gets aggressive) is to feed their hatred. ✌🏽I won’t respond so they take that as a copout and that I can’t back up my beliefs. I’ve been very sick in bed, and those posts were hurtful. Your post made me feel much better. I thank you. 🫠
In answer to your question, Jehovah is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. (Rev. 22:13) I like all of chapter 22. Jehovah was very much the true God of the past, and is our God in the present and for all time in the future. It takes time and a lot of study to really get to understand the Bible. I still have questions after many years, but that is true no matter what we are studying. No one learns advanced calculous overnight. ☺️ 🙏🏼 Stay on the path to righteousness, and you will find that narrow gate that leads to eternal life. 👍🏽🫠👍🏽🙏🏼
@@byendoeric : Sadly, as Jesus pointed out, only a FEW would cherish the TRUTH and be saved (Matthew 7:14).
Also, only a FEW would pay attention to the warning work done by Jesus' last days' disciples in fulfillment of Matthew 24:14.
Comparing our time to Noah's preaching.
(Matthew 24:39) and they TOOK NO NOTE until the Flood came and swept them all away, SO THE PRESENCE of the Son of man will be.
Satan's tactic is to take everyone down with him.
These videos are not a surprise.
Well done thank you for this. I've been to JW Services as a guest and am horrified at all of the out of context passages that are sprayed around like paint from a aerosol can. Cheers from Toronto
49 YEARS A JW 7 YEARS NOW a Born again believer . So happy to be saved. and the shunning is devastating . No former family or friends left. The price is high . Is it worth it. YES AGAIN YES. The peace from Jesus is priceless and Our blessed hope immeasurable. I would do it all again. The best thing ever was to walk away and Jesus saved me.
Praise God. I’m so sorry you have been alienated though. I know it’s tough losing everyone, I too have lost everyone but so glad I have the real God in my life. May the Lord continue to enlighten & bless you Caroline 🌷
@@bellaroccisano4156 thank you Bella, God bless
My heart is sad for the loss of your friends and family through this process, but, I am reminded of this verse in the Bible Luke 9:25 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self? I am so thankful you are on the right path now and we are sister's in Christ! ❤ Much love and prayers for you.
@@pattyoh9214 thank you Patricia. Time is a great healer but also a distancer. I am isolated but for a reason and not alone. So many never accept Jesus and just fade away, that is sad. God Bless.
@@carolinegraystone9308 Thank you and God Bless you also!!!
I am a former Mormon. The mind control of these cults is amazing. I really like this teacher. He is straightforward, and he does not mock people. The Gospel is in 1 Cor 15:1-4
I am a member of the Jesus Latter Day Saints and I have a learned a lot more than any other church and when I tell people that they want to know more and the Mormon book is one of the most popular Bible read today. And I know this to be true in Jesus name amen
@@lisaler2283 as a mormon have you learned more Jehovah's Witnesses? Do you believe in the immortality of the soul, that it never dies?
You blaspheme God with your false testimony, which you have done in the name of Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon has the WRONG gospel. Just read 3 Nephi 27:13-17 and compare it to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Paul warns people like you that to teach a false gospel bring you under a CURSE of God. Galatians 1:8-9.
He has good points but is factually wrong about Islam I have studied Competitive Religion for 7y he makes school boy errors for a respected teacher it's a little sad.
@@lisaler2283 You can't even spell the name of your church right. Ask yourself If I tell myself it's true enough times does it make it true. I love missionaries but your church stems from Masonic Origins. Joseph Smith was a free mason until he died part of the occult. Read more for yourself and never stop asking questions
Staying focused on who Jesus Christ is and what He has done for us is good, foundational advice!. There is a story as to how I personally learned that lesson, but Mike covered it well.
Very good video and truthful. Bless and ❤for your work🙏🏼
As a nonverbal autistic child, I failed my "baptism interview" because I wasn't going out in door-to-door service. I wasn't serving Jehovah enough to earn my baptism, I suppose. They teach that you can't make it into Paradise if you aren't baptized, but you need to meet specific requirements to achieve your baptism. I passed all of the knowledge tests, I was extremely zealous in my beliefs. But I could not publish the magazines, so I was not allowed to be baptized.
I eventually left after I was told I wasn't allowed to bring my service dog into the Kingdom Hall. I didn't leave of my own volition, I was basically forced out, but I am so relieved that I was.
Thanks for sharing.
I have a friend who is going through something similar and it’s tearing him up.
you seem like you are pretty capable of preaching on here. I think you would do great in video-to-video comment section service :D
I was part of them, an elder and secretary of the congregation, I left and now; i am serving God with no stigma at all and no fear.
So, you don't have to follow Jesus' instructions anymore... Is your new denomination preaching the Good News of God's Kingdom worldwide.. You do know that it is a part of prophecy and must be fulfilled before the end.. Do you kick the dust off your feet when you leave households that refuse to listen to the Good News?
@@classickruzer1 It is true that the good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth just as Jesus foretold at Matthew 24:14. Do you know what else he foretold in the very next verse? The desolation of God's earthly organization (the "holy place") at the hands of the wild beast (the United Nations, as the "disgusting thing"):
*15 “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16 then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+"*
Using the New World Translation online, if you click on the cross reference next to "holy place" it will take you to Daniel 9:27 where we read of the desolation of the Watchtower Society halfway through a "week" (seven years):
*“And he (the United Nations world government) will keep the covenant ("deal") in force for the many (nations) for one week; and at the half of the week, he will cause sacrifice and gift offering to cease (no more preaching or meeting for worship).+ “And on the wing of disgusting things there will be the one causing desolation..."*
The above event is the fulfillment of the seventieth week of Daniel's seventy weeks. The prophets spoke of this desolation and subsequent restoration after 3.5 years of refinement at the hands of the wild beast (Rev. 13:5-7). It is a part of prophecy and must be fulfilled before the end. Do you know what else must be fulfilled? This:
*"However, the disciples put the question to him: “Why, then, do the scribes say that E·liʹjah must come first?” In reply he said: “E·liʹjah is indeed coming and will restore all things.""* (Matt. 17:11).
Who is this man, the "messenger" and prophet of Malachi 3:1 and 4:5,6 who is sent to God's people in order to restore all things?
@@ElectricEarth No one is preaching the Good News of God's Kingdom on a global scale except Jehovah Witnesses .. 99% of people they encounter haven't a clue what the Good News is.. So how is it that the churches - which all preach different things - haven't informed their members about the Good News of God's Kingdom????
@@classickruzer1 I’ll have to disagree with you. The people I’ve seen that actively go on mission trips both domestically and overseas to spread the gospel are overwhelmingly Evangelical Christians. It could also be that most houses JW’s go to are in areas where people aren’t typically Christian. My family and I are Christian and we’ve never had an encounter with a JW. I don’t have an issue with JW individuals, but I do have a problem with the leaders of the organization and how they twist Christian beliefs in order to indoctrinate people and basically make them slaves to the organization. It’s all cult techniques and I really feel heartbroken for anyone that’s stuck following it. Many JW’s are unaware that their beliefs are unbiblical and will probably send them to hell. I dread saying stuff like that but it needs to be said because it’s a *very* serious matter.
@@historymajor26 F Y I - J W's go to ALL HOUSES that are accessible, all over the world, every day of the week . If there are NO TRESSPASSING SIGNS on any property, they are not allowed to violate laws. J W's preach the Good News of God's Kingdom as instructed by Jesus. They preach the same message earth wide. It's an organized message and not a HIT OR MISS arrangement. J W organization has the entire globe documented by area and each Kingdom Hall in each area are responsible for teaching the Good News in that area. No other church on the planet reaches so many people and it's a continual daily effort. As well, you probably aren't familiar with J W doctrine, other than what you've heard. I heard it as well, until I began attending their church. Everything I heard from preachers about J W's was a LIE. In fact, most everything I heard in a regular church was the REAL LIE. And I really hate to have to say that. Before you go condemning others maybe you should educate yourself about those you are condemning.
WOW, so glad I found you. You’re my hero Haha! I’m unfortunately on disability retirement and now I have no excuse to not read and learn to true word of God from real people of God, which is sometimes hard to find. You my friend are undoubtedly a diamond in the rough.
Read exodusch9 verse16 please read
I believe that some people have problems with Christianity because of the King James Version. The English language was less complex in King James' time than was the Greek language in the early centuries.
JWs are True Christians.
Your Triotheology is totally pagan and NOWHERE taught in any Bible that has not been compromised.
You worship Jesus God's Son. JWs Worship the God Jesus directed us to Worship Matthew 6:9 The Father. His God snd Father
( Look it up John 20:17 )
Add to this 1 Peter 1:3, blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ 1 Corinthians 1:3 says the same as does Ephesians 1:3 and Colossians 1:3 ....
Matthew 4:23 your God Jesus agrees with JWs :TRUE WORSHIPERS WORSHIP THE FATHER
John 17:3 your God is praying to my God, his God the Father :THIS MEANS THEIR ETERNAL LIFE, GETTING TO KNOW YOU THE ONLY TRUE GOD and the One you sent forth Jesus Christ.
John 3:16 now makes perfect sense.
Only Begotten Son? Yes
Colossians 1:15 Revelation 3:14
John 6:57
Jesus is The Only True 100% Son of God.
Colossians 1:16 after this one Solo act of creation, God the Father made Jesus the Co-creator. Bringing everything else EVERYTHING into existence Through, by means of Jesus his 1st creation and therefore God's Only Begotten Son John 3:16
Jesus worshipped the Father John 20:17 and called him My God EVEN AFTER BEING RAISED FROM THE DEAD. See also Revelation 3:12
JWs worship as Jesus Directed Matthew 6:9 -34
Matthew 4:8-11
8Again The Devil brought him to a very high mountain, and he showed him all the Kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9And he said to him, “All these things I will give to you if you will fall down to worship me.” 10Then Yeshua said to him, “Depart Satan, for it is written: 'You shall worship THE LORD JEHOVAH your God and him alone shall you serve.' “ 11And The Devil left him, and behold Angels approached and they were serving him.
JWs offer up All prayers to the Father in heaven and his worship through Jesus.
John 14:6
King James Bible
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
New King James Version
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me
JWs constantly praise Jesus in their songs and Meeting parts. He is constantly before us in our studies and literature.
He is the Lamb of God.
God bought us with the superb value of Jesus flesh and blood Matthew 20:28
Jesus is King Of God's Kingdom. We bow before his glorious position given him by God.
JWs Worship the Father as Jesus did and taught John 4:23
@@Chris-zh1ff Exodus 9:13 And the LORD said to Moses, Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people: that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. 15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. 16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, to show in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. 17 As yet dost thou exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go? 18 Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation even until now. 19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die. 20 He that feared the word of the LORD, among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses: 21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD, left his servants and his cattle in the field. 22 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt. 23 And Moses stretched forth his rod towards heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground: and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt. 24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt, since it became a nation. 25 And the hail smote, throughout all the land of Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and beast, and the hail smote every herb of the field and broke every tree of the field. 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.

Thank you so much for this! My mother in law is in jw and my hubby leans towards their beliefs. Very excited to share this video with them.
@@anthonetadarpa7822 Yahweh is God name. Also, you don't exercise faith.
Hi, allie. I'm not a JW. Just so you know - Your mother-in-law and husband may reject what's in the video - may not even view it. The reason for this is because JWs are told by the JW "leaders" to not view or listen to or read things that go against their beliefs. All that may result is a straining (or further straining) of your relationship with them.
I suggest you watch some of Mike W's other videos on the JWs before proceeding.

As a former Jehovah's Witnesses, this was GREAT!!! John 8:32
Thanks to Christ, I have been set free
Going from one cult to another is being "set free"?!! At least there's no harm in believing a debunked book of ancient mythology with no evidence! "Christian father shot his son dead for being gay" Daily Mail. Where would he get that crazy idea? "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." (Lev. 20:13). It's not like the bible contains proven lies by liars, right? "But good Christian scholars of the Bible, including the top Protestant and Catholic scholars of America, will tell you that *the Bible is full of lies* , even if they refuse to use the term." Dr. Bart Ehrman, Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, Who Wrote the Bible and Why it Matters.
Dear Beth: Why: How are you set free?
@@eddyvideostar Because she no longer believes that Steven Lett and Tony Morris have been personally chosen by God to be angelic priest kings, you're in a cult. lmao
@@jakelee5096: So where is Beth? Does she have the truth?
@@eddyvideostar Here's something for you Eddy. Saying the word "truth" repeatedly has never and will never make something truthful.
Real truth holds up to scrutiny. When you look into something truthful it doesn't become more convoluted or questionable; it becomes clear, more facts present themselves.
If Jehovah's Witnesses actually preached "truth" they wouldn't have to disfellowship or accuse of apostasy everyone that disagreed with them - they could simply prove them wrong.
I was in this cult for most of my young life. Getting out of it was one of the hardest things I have done!!!
Hi. I'm not a JW. I'd like to read the story of your escape if you'd be willing to share. It need not be overly long. I have an interest in such things.

What do you believe now as concerns existence?
@@user-by4lm7sv9q I am a Christian and believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the the redemption of my sins. No works, just faith.
This is so helpful...I've been studying with my sister in order to have a relationship with her. Not sure how much longer I can pretend to learn and accept teachings. False prophets for sure.
You are 100% correct about them, gwen.
But very sadly, yes. Your relationship with your sister may be in jeopardy.
@larysnw418 JWs are NOT Christians. They have a false, unbiblical Christ and a false, unbiblical way of salvation and multiple other falsehoods. You've been shown this multiple times, and the ONLY thing you have EVER done is run away from the truth.
@@jamesritter5078He is ripcord.
@@jamesritter5078 Speaking of false prophets, "Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1). So go ahead! "And these signs will accompany those who believe...when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all" (Mark 16:17-18). This is false, correct? If not, feel free to post your video. "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask in prayer" (Matt. 21:22). Sure, pray for an amputee to regrow his missing limb, and post a video of the miracle that follows! But you can't...because these claims are false, right?
@@mythbuster1483 You have already been responded to. Everything that needs to be said in terms of accurate and appropriate response to your posts has been said.
Here it is again for anyone who has not seen it: I've been totally and completely honest and truthful in my posts to you. I have explained very accurately and understandably that the reason I have no interest in debating source reliability/credibility is not because my sources are neither reliable nor credible. I have no interest because, as I've said - Considering the repeated, open, clear mockery, disdain, scorn, disparaging, and outright hostility of your posts, you have convinced me that those things are not going to ever change. And so there is no good reason whatsoever to engage with you at all to begin with. Can I put up sources that speak to the reliability and credibility of the Bible? Yes. But I have no interest in doing that with someone whose mind is so totally made up and totally closed and totally hostile as your posts VERY clearly prove you to be. It is simply not worth the time and effort.
I recently got out of the JW religion and this video almost made me cry because I've been lied to...almost my whole life...wow. Praise God Almighty for bringing me out of a deception.
Amen!
Ninja and China Well then it is in fact Jehovah God "Psalm 83:18" that you have prayed to and asked for help..."Revelation 15:3" Listen to God "Matthew 4:4" not Man!

For those that are ex-JW, I am posting 4 kind long post. Please take the time to read, it is for your onw edification that I share them.
@@williehlawton7006 where are these 4 posts?
@@carolsheltra2864 Carol I am only posting if someone ask for them. This is the first.
1.) To all that read this feed. This is a four part read. 1st part. Yes I am one of JW, but I am different. My journey started when I was 21. As Paul said in 2 Corinthians 12:2, I had a dream/vision, unbeknownst to be first of several dreams. I went
33 years without another dream. Satan attacked me and my family. Then in 2002 the dreams started. For those that are invovle in a formal religion, I am not asking you to leave it, I am asking we as those that will, start to have informal talks to do what Paul says at
Eph. 4:13 My dreams is to forewarn all those that will listen, to prepare. Those that are truly following Christ, take to heart the words of Jesus at John 10:12:13and flee the those that take the lead in the congregation that use the word of God to make themselves fat/rich. Take money out of the congregation of God. A correction is coming. If your position is that JW are not perfect, I will openly agree, if they were, we have no need for Jesus to come!! What I will say in defense of JW. There is no scripture that requires any Christian to believe in a trinity to be saved. John 17:3 talks of two things.
Joel 2:28
The 2nd segment I will tell, when the dreams started again.
thank you for your faith in Jesus Christ our lord and God,
Amen
Thank you for your faith in Christ my dear Sister in Jesus Christ our lord and God

I was with the witnesses for two years. Luckily the person that was studying with me encouraged me to read the Bible and the longer we studied the more I realized they were not teaching what the Bible says. However, I must state, in the two years I went to meetings, I learned that the people that are part of this religion wants more than anything else to ‘“bring the truth “ to their fellow man. Their hearts are loving and they genuinely are try to help their fellow men.
What did they teach that was not in the bible?
Hi, Josi. Thanks for sharing your story. What you've said is 100% true - What JWs believe and teach is not what the Bible says. JWs have a false, unbiblical Christ and a false, unbiblical way of salvation and multiple other falsehoods.
Just FYI - Mark/StretchMn is a JW.
They taught that God is not our Father. That he is only father to the 144,000. For one
@Josi Herman That's not true, that's never been taught.
The Father is the only God JWs worship, which is what Jesus taught at Jo. 4:23 and Jo. 17:1-3.
@@josiherman6137 You said "They taught that God is not our Father."
I do not believe that is accurate.
(Matthew 6:9) “You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.
I call Him Father all the time.
Perhaps you are referring to the 144,000 being adopted as children, in a special way today. While the bible says "5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1,000 years were ended.) " meaning after the final test they are considered truly alive, and fully children of God.
Hello, fellow cult survivors . I have never participated in social media of any kind for many reasons. I had no idea there were this many other people who have had their lives destroyed by the jws! I was dissfellowshiped over 26 years ago and for years suffered with guilt and fear and a sense of failure. It took me meeting other ex jws ex Mormons before I realized I was in a cult my whole life. My family told me I was dead to them and to never speak to them for 26 hrs. Last week, out of the blue my mother contacted me and said they had changed their guidelines, Apparently now she was allowed to speak to me again and she wanted to talk. This has really messed up my head. It took me over 20 hrs to forgive the people who had traumatized me, and now they want to talk! I later realized it was just because she was trying to convert me again. Saying they may have been to hard on dissfellowshiped people. I want to be mad but I am just sad because my family is still in a cult. Spread the real TRUTH about this insane religion stop the LIE!!!!
Look! Another poor victim!!!
(1 Corinthians 5:9-13) In my letter I wrote you to stop keeping company with sexually immoral people, 10 not meaning entirely with the sexually immoral people of this world or the greedy people or extortioners or idolaters. Otherwise, you would actually have to get out of the world. 11 But now I am writing you to stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. 12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do you not judge those inside, 13 while God judges those outside? “Remove the wicked person from among yourselves.”

As a former JW, I can say this is the best description and knowledge of the religion that I have heard. Thank you for this. It is a lifelong struggle when you leave this cult after being raised in it! Very painful and scarring!

Jesus said the road to life will be tough and very few can stay on it.. It's so much easier being a worldly Christian..
@@classickruzer1 - Reality: Getting out of the JW cult is not the same at all as being "a worldly Christian." For one thing, JWs are not really Christians to begin with - The JW cult has both a false Jesus and a false way of salvation. This can be proven easily. Add to this the fact that the JW "religion" is strictly totalitarian and controlling over its members. The rank and file JWs can be accurately described as "thralls" to the JW masters.
@@jamesritter5078 No they're not WORLDLY CHRISTIANS who can do as they please and get support from other WORLDLY CHRISTIANS .. Don't blame others for your weaknesses and desire to follow a preacher who lies and lets HIS SHEEP, as he calls them, do as they please and still remain in good standing. That's what CULTS do. I've been to lots of churches and every one has active drug abusers, active alcoholics, couples living together committing fornication, members who curse in public, go to bars and casinos gambling and the preachers or other church members never, ever counsel them. That's just to name a few things they do.. You know that's true. If you say it isn't, you're just lying and covering for them too. You know I'm right as well as I do.. WORLDLY CHRISTIANS ..
@@classickruzer1 - Please pay better attention to what I've said: Getting out of the JW cult is not the same thing at all as being a "worldly Christian" because JWs are NOT Christians, period. They are a not-Christian cult. The reason this is true is that they reject and deny the essential things that make a Christian a Christian. Two of the biggest things are their false, unbiblical views of Christ, and their false, unbiblical way of salvation.
What I'm saying here can be proven - easily.

And when you talk to them about the Greek and you give them Greek and stuff like that they just don't want to hear it. When you prove to them from biblical scriptures and prove to them that Jesus is God in the flesh, they still won't believe it. I read them second John chapter 1 verse 7 and that really ticked him off, and I also have read them Hebrews chapter 1 verse 8 they didn't believe that all of the angels in heaven including Michael the archangel worship Jesus Christ because all the Angels know who Christ is he is God.

@@777Tralfaz777 great question!! I prayed to God to show me his truth. I did not lean on any person to teach me Gods word. I needed to see for myself. One day I prayed that God would reveal his truth to me through his word, Matt 7:7. I opened the Bible and began reading. Gods word is alive Heb 4:12. There is no man who needs to justify Gods truth. I began to see that the JWs teachings contradict the Bible and all I had been taught was a lie. But the one thing that stayed with me is the love of God and the love of people.
I was raised JW but left a couple years ago. &I do find myself sort of floating like you said and being scared and confused. About a year ago, I started to find myself researching bit by bit until this very moment. This video and your other video made me realize how scared I have been wired. I started to cry when you said we are so confused when we come out of it. It is very hard to put into words but you said it perfectly because all I really want to know is the word of God. Thank you for bringing light, even to us who were raised JW.
You want to know God's word, but you left those who teach it.

Me too! I was baptized in January, 2019 at Second Baptist Church in Houston. And now my daughter will be getting baptized in a church she found. We are in the Body of Christ serving him together. Praise the Lord!
I grew up in a model JW home: father was an Elder, mother a Pioneer. And yet in my late teens I rebelled, stopped going to meetings and went off to dorm in college (highly discouraged by JW). It was in college that I met other Christians and through a chain of events that were entirely God’s doing, I went to my first Christian church service my senior year. At this service, I was immediately hit with the presence, peace and love of the Lord. This was six years ago and it’s been a sweet journey of unlearning my JW faith and getting to know Jesus. I thank God everyday for having opened my eyes and I pray that He do the same for my family and all the JW’s blinded by the governing body. All this to say - of the many apologetics videos I’ve watched on their faith, this was the most concise and helpful, thank you! And to any JW or ex-JW that might read this: know that JW is a religion and Jesus came to abolish religion; please just ask the Lord to reveal himself to you and He will do it!

The New World Translation bible changes every year and becomes more and more twisted it’s scary.
I was born and raised in the JW church. I was in the church for over 20yrs, It will take all day to tell my story. I finally found the true gospel of Jesus Christ and completely left the organization. It was the most liberating and eye opening experience and my life changed. The true word of God is powerful it helped me overcome all the fear and condemnation I had from all the years of being indoctrinated by their teachings. If you're thinking of leaving or have left the organization don't stop searching for the truth.
I was raised up in the Jehovah Witnesses my father was an Elder and Presiding Overseer ( Equivalent to a Bishop over some other Kingdom Halls: churches ). I was groomed to follow in my father’s footsteps. Around the age of 22 I began reading a KJV Bible and wondered why it was different from the New World Translation Bible ( JW Bible). My story could cover several paragraphs. I will suffice it to say that God in His infinite wisdom brought me out of that organization: cult. I became a Christian and a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I have never regretted my decision. I lost my father and brother, who are still in the JWS ( father is deceased, but my brother is still alive). They call me an apostate. One who has walked away from the “truth” ( another name for their denomination). Simply put, to anyone who is questioning their allegiance to the JWS, get out !!! Start going to a Bible believing church and learn about what Jesus did for you at Calvary. Praise Him !!!
@@starstarr6767 Your not apostate to YHWH but apostate to an antichrist cult bent on diminishing HIS sacrifice and who HE says HE is. There are 7 churches in Rev. 1,2&3 not one.

Please provide adequate proof for your outlandish and ill-advised statement? I am not a JW. But I know how this translation was made. From Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek. It has corrected many thousands of errors from KJV 1611 and is rightfully amongst the most credible translations of our time. Do your homework before you state such rubbish!
My mother and her family were Jehovah’s Witnesses for 15 years! When my Aunt left, my mother and grandmother were asked to basically shun her. She had started going to a southern baptist church, that was the reason they were asked to break all , ALL ties with her. Praise the Lord the got out, both of them became Spirit filled, on fire Christians. It is a miracle, all from a neighbor who invited my Aunt to a bible study!
I'm not sure how somebody changing their religion is a miracle, it happens all the time.
Raquel Lucas why people said they’re Christian but don’t obey Jesus first commandment Matthew 22:37,38 love our father who is in heaven. Not Jesus .. our celestial father.
Lee Tay It is miracle because most people never break free from being a Jehovah’s Witness. The control is strong and long lasting.
Black Woman the control of doing what is right? Oh well
Efesios 5:8 The control of doing right? If you watched this entire video and that is what you gathered...I can’t help you.
I live in a nursing home and jehovahs witnesses come here on Thursday. I always attend activities except this service. They are so in error.
Leaving the cult is very difficult. It’s very hard to explain the feelings, vacuum and emptiness one experiences on waking up to the organization
Dive into the WORD to fill the vaccuum and emptiness. Mat. 24:10 was prophesy by my GOD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST and you experienced it 1st hand.
Yes, it's very hard to get out of this cult !
But I am free and happy to go back to being a Christian with the Baptist church ❤

Sometimes God will use you as a child to open your parents eyes to the truth. This is not easy but know God has you trust in him. what many do not understand is when you find the truth and you walk in it you will not have as many friends or family. I say to you keep walking in the right direction. Keep going to school and doing your school work. As I said i will be praying for you God is using people like Mike Winger to wake people up that are walking with their spiritual eyes closed.
I know this video is yrs old but it helped me. I’ve been gone from the cult for 20 or so years and was atheist pretty much but in the past few yrs I’m building my faith in Christ it’s been a journey but I’m getting there. This cult will leave a stain that’s hard to move past.
Brian enjoy the journey and God's blessings.

Isaiah 40 v 3
The voice of him that crieth is the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord (Jehovah), make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
This verse clearly teaches that the voice in the wilderness said, Prepare the way for (Jehovah).
Now to the parallel verse
Matthew 3 v 3
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias (Isaiah), saying the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Now who was John the Baptist talking about in Matthew 3 v 3? Jesus, because he is Jehovah.

edlinke, your post is very immature. It shows that resorting to childish name-calling is all you can manage.
I was raised Roman Catholic (my dad's religion) but my mom (raised Lutheran) studied with the Jehovah's Witnesses on and off for decades. They began coming to our house to "study" when I was about 12, and this lasted for a few years. One thing I didn't hear mentioned in this RUclips was that they were certain the world would end in 1975 (and if I now understand correctly, that wasn't their first prediction, nor their last). I would participate sometimes but thankfully my mom never pressured me. I heard all about Paradise, no blood transfusions, no saluting the US Flag, conscientious objection to the war in Vietnam (very popular in the 60's/70's), no birthday or Christmas gifts, and all their other lies. My mom eventually broke off with them for awhile but resumed after I was an adult and moved to another state. She passed away from cancer feeling a lot of guilt because she had accepted a blood transfusion during her treatment. I tried to ease her guilt and I hope she made peace with it. I found this RUclips so helpful in spreading the truth about this evil cult.
I should add that my mom was never fully "in" to the extent that she ever shunned her family. She refused to give or receive holiday gifts for awhile and we respected her wishes, and at times they would phone on Christmas morning to try to get her to stay home and not spend the day with family, but it never went further. Looking back, I am so grateful, knowing it could have been so much worse.
A seeking sinner will find a seeking Saviour 📖🙏
My son's life was saved by having received nine blood transfusions after a car accident at the age of four.

@@RoseSharon7777 so tell us what you learned from the scripture.
The Governing Body is Apostate. Therefore I disfellowshiped them out of my life.
@@darryldanzinger9996 exactly what it says. He was born a human being and became the son of God at his resurrection.
ALL THE SECT OR CULT ALWAYS HAS A EXTRA BOOK BESIDE OF THE BIBLE, BUT THE BIBLE IS ENOUGH, COMPLETE AND PERFECT, GOD DID IT, YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE
Only see the errors in other religions but not in your own.
@Hobby Share So the fact that there are two different genealogies in thenew testament describing the ancestry of Josef (not the father of Jesus) is not an error?
And do not come with some convoluted story about a remarriage of one of his ancestors because that would have shown in the lineage.
That is what I mean, you can probably point out many inconsistencies in JW but will reject them in your current belief system.
You have no evidence
That is why you don't need a religion. You need the one who can save you. John 14:6 Yeshua is the way, the truth, and the life. Our Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Rev. 17:14. Be blessed and pray without ceasing.
And the same goes for the name Jesus...the apostles didn't call Him that. It's Yeshua.
Keep teaching the truth Sir as they need saving from a nasty cult.😢😢😢
Thank you. I love your content. You were totally correct, when i left the cult I stayed away from religion for 30 years. (Disassociated myself) I would try seeking God several times throughout the years. Always would look towards JWs ( cause they were all I knew). But something ( I believe was God's Holy Spirit now) wouldnt let me. Then about 4-5 years ago I had a strong, like I cant even explain how strong. (I'm like tearing up just typing it) Pull on my heart saying Its time, come seek me. I started reading the JW online bible again. But God put on my heart to start looking in other books. I ordered the Septuagint, Geneva, 1611 KJV, and many other books. As I was studying I still had a lot of JW doctrines in my head, and was still reading their online bible. Had a hard time getting into studing, the same as before. I would get frustrated cause I didnt know what to believe. Remembering JWs teaching that only their bible hasent been doctored. I would pray while getting frustrated for guidance. I was pulled hard to Facebook my aunt who is JW (strongly indoctrinated). I asked her for a bible so that i had a physical copy instead of just using a online version. She told me she didnt feel right sending one or talking to me, unless i converted back to JW organization. I was so upset. Right after that conversation with her, I had a strong pull put on my heart to download Tik Tok. I downloaded it, and the first tic toks that popped up were Ex JWs. 2 girls in particular. Both were drawn away from the cult by the Holy Spirit. They showed the same court documents you did, showed differences between bibles, compared with greek. I became even more angry started sending my Aunt information and she blocked me. Once I got rid of their bible, and started letting Jusus lead me. I am now born again in Christ., and he guides me. 😊
THANK YOU for sharing your story, Christa! 👍
Let me ask you a few questions. I'm a JW.
What court documents did Winger show here on his video?
He didn't. And neither did the tik tok girls. They just repeat what they found in some apostate website, who also didn't have court documents.
Russell didn't know Greek. He never said he did. But would it matter if he did or didn't?
Winger doesn't know Greek. Nor did the founder of Winger's church Chuck Smith.
But here's what was actually said in court.
“Question: ‘You don’t profess, then, to be schooled in the Latin language?’
Answer: ‘No, Sir.’
Question: ‘Or in Greek?’
Answer: ‘No, Sir.’”
After this, Russell was asked if he knew individual Greek letters, and he said that he “might make a mistake of some of them.”
In another video by Winger, he admits he doesn't have the actual court documents and even says he should have obtained them.
So Winger is pushing false claims.
Very few "Christians" know Greek, especially the version spoken back then, and that includes most church founders/leaders.
But again, why would it matter? We have various bible versions and interlinears and a Concordance to compare and get the actual words and definitions.
So how did your research go with the Septuagint and those bible versions?
What did you see?
You probably noticed right away that few bibles use the name Jehovah in all the places it should be.
(Winger even admits he wish he had a bible with God's name where it should be)
What pull do you suppose Judas, an apostle with Jesus, had that caused him to leave Jesus and betray him?
Was that the holy spirit?
Obviously not.
What would cause someone to leave the truth when they were literally with Jesus??
So where would you go?
I always think of these verses.
Jo. 6:67,68 - So Jesus said to the Twelve: "You do not want to go also, do you?"
Simon Peter answered him: "Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life."
So where would you go?
To a church that teaches the trinity theory, which is completely false?
To a church that celebrates pagan celebrations that are mostly false?
To church that allows unbiblical practices like immorality and homosexuality?
To a church that promotes and supports fighting and killing in man's greedy wars? That support and join in politics and the world Jesus said not be part of?
Jesus said at Mt. 7:13-23 that we would know the true religion based on their fruits.
While individual members are imperfect and will make mistakes, like Judas did, the religion will push for good fruits, or bad fruits like those listed above.
I did what you what you said, I got all those bibles and interlinears and a Concordance and I compared and looked up words, I researched doctrines and churches.
JWs have the truth.
Not tik tok. Not apostates.
Christa - Mark/StretchMn is a JW and that is the reason for his post.
What he's saying is falsehood.
Now, you see here Christa, another great example like those tik tok girls, of someone who just throws out false accusations.
Which just shows really how much they hate the scriptures and facts.
Christa - Since you were a JW for 30, I am guessing that you know that Mark/StretchMn is in open, direct and deliberate defiance of and disobedience to the JW "leaders" by being here.
Mark knows this too.
And - like before - What's he's posted above is falsehood.
I’m 18 and left when I was about 14 years old. Something just didn’t feel right. One thing that I noticed in the congregation was people would get disfellowshiped and everybody would ignore them. Being little they would tell me “They made a mistake but there working on being a better person” and then go gossip about the ‘brothers’ or ‘sisters’ situation behind there backs. I always thought that doing what they did was so backwards because they explained that they were above immature things like that, but now that I’m older i notice a lot of the things they teach don’t add up and there very confusing. I’m sure they don’t even know what the Bible really says and don’t even know there basically in a cult.
I can tell you have a logical mind; however, the Watchtower hurts the JW ability to write, so I always tell JW who have left to study grammar and Homonyms. "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White is a good start. Please, don't be offended because if you take a month or two to study a bit, you will see it for yourself and benefit from the knowledge in other aspects of your life. You must be brave and have of a love of the truth to have escaped, so I hope you find Him, the biblical Jesus Christ, or perhaps, He will find you.
I'm the same age but I fear that if I leave, that's it, and as long as I fake it, I can have some friends who also dont agree with the faith lol.
Just move to Norway and establish a new life. free university too :)
Hey Raquel so are you saying that what jws read and study are wrong and their rules? I'm not a jw I know some who really try to debate and feel as though they're right on everything
My mother was a jw and told me she felt so sad for the disfellowshipped JW’s that she’d sneakily say hello to them all. 😂 She said she was only 9 or 10.
I am an Ex-Jw I was an elder, sub co, and a gilead trained missionary...your spot on what you’ve said
Welcome home brother! Praise God!
I am learning from a jw. So what made you leave? I study the Bible alone and I have been blessed by God before coming to know Jehovah. I'm baptized as a Nazarene. Been studying for a year. Haven't quit smoking yet. So you know the rules. I'm a bit hesitant about this and don't need a cult. But was looking for something good in my life. So if you could please respond that would be great.

Wow
According to the Apostles who resurrected Jesus? Acts 3: 13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his Servant, Jesus Acts 2:32
God resurrected Jesus, and of this we are all witnesses. Acts 13:33 God has completely fulfilled it to us, their children, by resurrecting Jesus; just as it is written in the second psalm: ‘You are my son; today I have become your father.’ Acts 5: 30 The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus Galatians 1: Paul, an apostle, neither from men nor through a man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him up from the dead
- Jehovah of Armies is the name of our Glorious Father! -
The ENEMY IS US, if we let the wicked one use us.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWERFUL!!!
Yes it is. And the more a person knows about what JWs believe and teach and compares that with the Bible, the more a person sees that what JWs believe and teach is false and unbiblical.
But wisdom is greater.
I was JW for 30 years. I can't tell you the shock when I realised it was a cult. I almost collapsed at work. Lost all my friends and went into depression. The feeling of sadness and loss was intense. When I learned the identify and Diety of Jesus Christ I was amazed, stunned and delighted. Anyway still learning but haven't found a church yet. I live in South London United Kingdom
Praise JESUS for Your Deliverance from the jehovahs witnesses!!!!!🙏🏾❤

@@Julia-og1or - LOL! I will NEVER be destroyed. Jesus Christ has saved me and I have eternal life and no one can remove me from His grip.
And no - A person does NOT need to follow the Torah in order to be saved. You are openly demonstrating a HUGE biblical ignorance with that statement. The Letter To The Galatians directly speaks to the issue of observance of the Law, and says it doesn't work. There are PLENTY of other Scriptures that say the same thing. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, PERIOD. It does not come by works. THAT is the witness of Scripture, and you can't do anything about it - It is black print on white page. Your argument is not against me, but the word of God itself.
Also - This page is for discussion of the beliefs and teachings of the JW cult. If you're not going to talk about the subject of this page, you are merely trolling by being here.
This is excellent. For several years, I have been a JW magnet. Fortunately, it has subsided of late.
I studied w/ my JW neighbor just to gain insight, never w/ the intent of converting from my "born again" beliefs. Thank you for this concise & clear study Pastor Mike.😇
Hello sister how are you doing today 💭🙏

Thankyou for this presentation Pastor Mike Godbless You
Amen!! Thank you God bless you for your obedience!!
Thank you for sharing I appreciate it a lot, I was a witness all that you say is so true, I am learning the truth and doing my research and studying God's word from the King James Bible.
Good for you! Im just curious what made you leave?
@@jmh5767 I was a unbaptized publisher for about a year but I study for a long time before.. Why I leave there was alot of things that was wrong, all the things that they teaches not to do they do it ..I started asking myself they teaches not to do things like the world how come JW does everything... They lie most I no rascal, gossiping everything.. This Elder he had his wife and he use to come at me in a sexual way and many of the single women in the hall I ask him to stop but he see how serious I was when I left it's alot of other things I no of alot of sexual imorality going on in there with brothers and sisters but teaches one thing and practice the next, it was alot going on in secret. I didn't even no about the false doctrine yet is only when I left someone sent me to the sites Now I no that they rejected Christ, Christ say to eat the bread and drink the wine to do this in remembrance of me. WT rejects it pass it only.. I think it was God helping me to see how wrong it was for me being there even in there my eyes started opening .. I did let a Elder no why I was leaving they gave me a hard time keep asking me to come back sending sisters to try to get me to come back but from that time to now is a year so I tell them that I was disassociate myself from Jehovah's witnesses and they said that they will anounce I am no longer a unbaptized publisher. I am happy I am out I feel better I now have a better relationship with God and learning and reading my Kjvbible.
Why are you an ex were you disfellowshipped
@@tingsgwan I leave I wasn't baptized I was a unbaptized publisher at the time. when the Elders saw I wasn't coming back all they did was anounce I am no longer a unbaptized publisher. Only if you baptized they can disfellowship you. If you want to understand why I leave the Jehovah's witnesses organisation read back my comment above.
@@jesuschristismykingandsavi8172 naw I read it. It just didn't make sense that's why I asked. You said a elder did things that wasn't right so you left a complete organization over one man's actions. You must not have learned and payed attention. No man is perfect there are imperfect beings in all religions. But your relationship with God is not a joke or built off another man's actions. Many other churches have lots worse people in them so I was just curious why you would leave because on man's actions.
I have to agree with you Mike, I was so confused when I came out of being a JW in fact I was scared that God would not resurrected because I rejected his church. I am so glad I came out of the cult, I am thankful for Jesus saving my soul.
No one saved your soul , give yourself all the credit for having the strength to leave the cult of JW , go one step closer and free yourself from all religious beliefs , for more info Google Richard Carrier.
Lol he wont!!
Saved by Grace. Grace is incomprehensible until it is experienced by an encounter, free of religion, wrapped in his mercy. My sisters are JW and I am starting to give up on believing for their faith they are born into it. I want to say I haven’t but it’s difficult believing for them.
Grace is just an other mombo jumbo word used to convince people there is a supernatural realm , its all BS magic is not real "His mercy" WHO'S mercy!? , you have been brainwashed from birth to believe in a non existent God like your parents before you , give yourself a chance and stop living under a delusion , Google Richard Carrier this will be a good start on your journey to freedom.
Remember its not what we have done for God but what he is done for us. Just believe my friend and he will use you for his Glory.
John 6: 28-29 ( NIV )
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
Coming back to this video after recently being visited by JWs. The hardest thing about the encounter is trying to figure out exactly what they are wanting me to see and explaining why I disagree with them without bringing up things about their beliefs that they did bring up. I THINK what they were trying to teach me is that there is no heaven? Then we got into the days of creation in which I am a very strong believer in YOuNG EARTH creation but they were trying to persuade me in the “day/age” interpretation saying it was important for prophecy? Very quickly (like with Mormons) things get muddy and it always challenges me to know what I truly believe.
Debate them if it pleases you but this is exactly what they want. The worst for them is ignoring.
Excellent biblical teaching Pastor Mike! I came out of the Catholic cult at 18.
So, what cult do you join after that?
Hi, melissa. Tralfaz is a JW and that is the reason for his personal, belittling comment toward you.
It is one of the things that it means to be a JW.

Just try to talk to people you know and tell them the truth they are all lost we have to help them.

I was born as Christian protestant, my grandfather was a famous evangelist in his hometown , passed away beginning 1980s. I was active Sunday school, youths church. Came into the Truth because of john 6:44&john 17:3. Proud to be one of Jehovah's witnesses ❤
The JWs believe that Christ is the angel/archangel Michael. This believe is contrary to Scripture.
NO angel would ever make the declaration that Christ makes for Himself in John 12:45
NO angel would ever tell people to believe in it the same as they do in God. But Christ does just that in John 14:1.
NO angel would ever make the declaration Christ makes for Himself in John 14:7-9.
Michael would DEFINITELY NOT make these declarations. His name means "Who Is Like God?"
Obvious answer: NO ONE.
If Michael had made those declarations, he would be going against the meaning of his own name and committing blasphemy.
NO angel would ever receive for itself the declaration of Thomas in John 20:28.
NO angel has the same nature as God, as Paul states Christ does in Philippians 2:6.
In NO angel does all the fullness of God reside, as Paul states in Colossians 2:9.
I'm glad to know about the Truth about Jehovah's Kingdom. Heavenly Father Jehovah sent His beloved Son Jesus Christ as a Ransom for our sins so has opportunity for everlasting life at paradise on earth by practice faith follow Jesus example ❤

This is an awesome video. I'm new to reading the bible daily but have been a believer most of my life. I have a Witness that I speak with weekly, but his beliefs don't sit right with my spirit. This video hits the mark on some of the discussions we've had. Well done, and have a great day!
If they don't come to your house anymore, they probably put you on the "DO NOT CALL" list. At least they called it that 30 years ago when I left. You could request to be put on that list back then. I requested that more than 10 years ago. Now, occasionally, someone will show up to make sure it is still me living here. Mostly, they leave me alone. AND ALL MY BIRTH FAMILY LEAVE ME ALONE!Thank you to all of you out there confirming ALL the UN truth they tell!
SAME!! wHen I decided to read the Bible, I called my best friend from high school for help. SHe's been a JW for decades. After about a year I told her I couldn't do it any more. Seemed they are more pro JW than Christ. And I thought quite political for an organization that claims to be a-political.
It was their perception of God. As I don't consider myself religious. I believe in God and salvation through Jesus Christ. The Bible is (to me) a book of etiquette, protocol, and instruction. And God reaches out to us with his word. But nothing the Witness said felt right. It was packed up and made pretty certainly not the bible I know. @@larysnw418
@@fallingfeather21 Political how?
The question I would like answered is , "What can a church Christians witness to a JW?'
Considering the fact that many JWs were once part pf the churches and logically would know what they teach.
Immensely informative, accurate and thorough!!! Thanks SO MUCH for posting!!! I am a Baptist that studied with JWs for 1.5 years. It was never my intent to convert but to learn what set them apart from the rest of Christianity. I actually really liked the couple that I studied with, but never accepted their beliefs about Jesus, St. Michael, hell and the trinity. They still call me from time to time and I'm still friendly with them, but I have not and will never convert to a JW.
FACTS ABOUT THE CHURCH OF CHRIST
“Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you” (Rom. 16:16). KJV
Loved ones, the church of Christ has no creed but the Bible. The Scriptures furnishes a man unto all good works (2 Tim. 3:16-17). They give mankind everything that pertains unto life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:5). The New Testament is Christ’s and the apostles’ doctrine to govern the church of the New Testament (Acts 2:42; 2 John 9-10).
The church of Christ believes in speaking where the Bible speaks and being silent where the Bible is silent. It speaks as the oracles of God (1 Pet. 4:11). It holds fast the form of sound words (2 Tim. 1:15). It teaches nothing that the apostles did not teach or preach (Gal. 1:9).
Believers must teach and practice all the truth… nothing less! We must not to go beyond the truth as revealed in the New Testament (1 Cor. 4:6). The scriptures do not teach that we are miraculously converted by a direct operation of the Holy Spirit; rather that we are converted when we believe and obey the Gospel (Mark 16:15-16). Even sincere men can be deceived, so the only safe guide is the Bible.
The church of Christ pleads for the unity of all believers in Christ upon the basis of the Word of God and the one body. Jesus prayed that all be ONE (John 17:20-21). Paul pleaded for “speaking the same things” (1 Cor. 1:10). There is one body, and the body is the church (Eph. 4:4-6; Col. 1:18; Eph. 1:22-23).
The church of Christ is not a denomination. Denominationalism is not from God, but from man. They are in competition with the church the Lord established. Denominations offer many different things. They appeal to what man expects or wants. The church of Christ is pre-denominational and therefore undenominational. It has no membership in any human organization. Its members are in no spiritual organization other than the one to which the Lord adds the saved (Acts 2:47).
The church of Christ worships according to the fashion in the New Testament pattern. We worship God “In spirit;” that is, with sincerity, and “In truth;” that is, as the Word of God dictates (John 4:24). It opposes all items of worship not authorized in the New Testament. Following the unauthorized doctrines and commandments of men makes worship vain (Matt. 15:9).
The worship of the church of the New Testament consisted of: SINGING (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16), GIVING (1 Cor. 16:1; 2 Cor. 9:7), TEACHING/PREACHING (Acts 20:7), PRAYING (Acts 2:42), and partaking of the LORD'S SUPPER on the first day of every week (Acts 20:7). If we worship and continue steadfastly in the apostles doctrine God will be pleased (Heb. 11:6).
The church of Christ wears no name but the name of Christ, and opposes all names of man’s invention. The disciples of Christ are called CHRISTIANS (Acts 11:26). We glorify God in the name CHRISTIAN (1 Pet. 4:16). Paul did all he could to persuade a king to be just a CHRISTIAN (Acts 26:28). The Bible condemns wearing human names (1 Corinthians 1:10-13). It is these other (denominational) names that divide believers. Why not just be a Christian?
The church of Christ is apostolic in its organization. Elders are appointed in every congregation to oversee the church (Acts 14:23; 20:28). Elders that rule well will take the oversight and not lord it over God’s heritage (1 Tim. 5:17; 1 Pet. 5:1-3). Deacons are also appointed to assist and serve the saints (Phil. 1:1; 1 Tim. 3:8-13). Evangelist are used to preach the word (2 Timothy 4:1-5). The church is not run by women or a majority rule. It is not run by Popes, councils, conferences, etc. But as its only head (Eph. 5:23), Christ dictates His will through the apostles and is overseen by a plurality of elders.
The church of Christ teaches that the Gospel, as revealed and confirmed by the Holy Spirit, is able to convert sinners and bring them to salvation. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Rom. 1:16). We are saved by grace through faith in the gospel (Eph. 2:8; 1 Cor. 15:2-4). Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Rom. 10:17). We are begotten through the gospel; that is, by the word of truth which sanctifies (1 Cor. 4:15; Jas. 1:18; John 17:17).
All the work and worship of the church of Christ is done simply as Christians, through the local church, and not through some human organization. Building and maintaining societies and institutions takes away from the personal involvement of the Christian. God is glorified by the church of Christ, not human institutions (Eph. 3:21). The church is the pillar and ground of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15).
The church of Christ is the church that Jesus built in the first century and it belongs to Him (Matt. 16:18). Christians simply need to follow His instructions for how it is to operate. In the New Testament there is no organization larger than, smaller than, or other than the church to do the work of the church. Jesus did not give authority for any others.
God wants us to become His children by believing in Jesus and being obedient to the simple scheme of redemption (Galatians 3:26-27). For salvation the church of Christ teaches sinners to do only what Jesus taught through the apostles: believe (Acts 16:31), repent (Acts 3:19; Acts 17:30-32; Luke 13:3), confess Jesus (Rom. 10:9-10), and be immersed (baptized) in water (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; 1 Pet. 3:21) to wash your sins away by the blood of Jesus (Rev. 1:5; Matt. 26:28).
If we follow the same examples of conversion as we find in the New Testament, we will have the same hope that they had. When we do this we are saved and added by the Lord to His church kingdom (Acts 2:47; Col. 1:13). As Christians He expects us to live faithful lives to receive a crown of life (Rev. 2:10). If you do these things you shall never fall (2 Pet. 1:5-11). The useless unfaithful unfruitful branches will one day be cast into fire and burned (John 15:1-8). The unrighteous shall not enter the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9-10).
Why not consider becoming just a Christian and determine to simply follow the doctrine of Christ as given by the Holy Spirit through His apostles?

that was and still is their END GAME for you- best tread lightly
It's very difficult to convince them of the truth
@@Arrasel Dr. Gerd Ludemann, Chair of History and Literature of Early Christianity at the University of Göttingen: "the results of historical scholarship can be made known to the public - especially to believers - only with difficulty. Many Christians feel threatened if they hear that MOST of what was written in the Bible is (in historical terms) UNTRUE and that none of the four New Testament Gospels was written by the author listed at the top of the text." - Kêrygma and History in the Thought of Rudolf Bultmann
Dear Chelsea Bailey: This is a beautiful and respectful comment for someone who is not planning to be a JW -- but to study and compare. You have written well, *without one gram of hate* and animosity, unlike the majority who have gripes and beef and throw down acerbic aspersions upon the aspect of service.
There was a young JW who used to visit my home on weekends for sometime. Then one day I started discussing our Bible to her every time she visits. After that she brought along an elder with her maybe to avoid me teaching our Bible. But I kept on making comparisons and questioning their teachings that one day they just stop coming. I just hope I was able to plant something to them.
Well done for trying. But as they didn't come back they have probably thrown in the towel with you. But at least you tried.
Good for you!
That is their normal behavior, once they know that they can't get you easily, they will disappear, mostly when you challenge their doctrines biblically.

@@dana4264 That's not why they walked away and stopped trying. They are doing what Jesus told his apostles to do if people aren't willing to listen. "Shake the dust from your feet and walk away". They see themselves as modern day apostles, doing the work that Jesus sent his apostles out to do "as sheep among wolves", which is why they go door to door.
I believe, that it was my having taken the study of the Bible, having read, researched and tested, pretty much everything that was said and read to me by different religions and mainly from the JW religion...which I was apart of for probably way too many years! 😞
I have learned having lived it! 😕
Thank you, for what you're doing here! 🙏💝
I was raised Christian and still consider myself a Christian. I just recently found your channel and have been watching several of your videos. I just want to say thank you. You make scripture so clear and easy to understand in addition to arming me against attacks on Christianity I may encounter. I've often wondered what to say in retort besides a simple "because faith" and now I feel there is someone providing me with concrete ammo that I can follow and understand and hopefully one day convey should I need to do so.
All you have to do for unbelievers is demonstrate that the bible is true. "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." (John 14:13-14). Sure, just try it! Ask Jesus to regrow all the missing limbs of amputees. "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask in prayer" (Matt. 21:22). Again, pray for an amputee to regrow his missing limb, and post the resulting miracle video. YOU'LL RECEIVE WHATEVER YOU ASK! "For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20). Go ahead!
@@mythbuster1483 based on the amount of replies and the context of those replies from you on just this one video, you seem to have a lot of time on your hands to troll the internet "busting myths". I don't have that kind of time so I'll only respond to this comment once (and I probably shouldn't even bother with that). Maybe Mike will do an analysis of the verses you have quoted if he hasn't already, because I'm quite positive you have taken them out of context and I'd be interested in watching a video like that myself. Other than that, I don't think your comments have the intended impact. They actually speak to an individual who has been deeply hurt and this is how you choose to express it. I understand. Life is hard, full of pain sometimes. So, I won't tell you, or anyone else, to pray for limbs to be regenerated then post a video about it. Instead I will honestly pray that you, and others who troll, find peace and healing. Good day.
@@allisonadamson653 Okay, don't stab any infants or children to death today just because some member of your cult claims that god said so: "This is what the Lord Almighty says...put to death men and women, children and infants." (1 Samuel 15:2-3).
@@mythbuster1483 I don't care to argue with you. If you truly want to learn how to correctly interpret scripture, then watch Mike's videos or find a church and ask some questions.

Happy Easter, He is Risen. Jesus loves you even though you reject Him.
@@allisonadamson653 You're the one claiming that it's okay to murder children and infants just because some member of your cult tells you that 'god said so', right? Nothing I've said is false, and I've actually backed up my claims with evidence from your own book of ancient fairy tales. You're on a public forum making these claims, and I'm debunking them. It's not my fault if you can't defend your own absurd claims.
God does not distort the knowledge of man, but man will distort the knowledge of God. Man distorts God to fit Man's purpose.
GOD nor JESUS ever wrote a book or created a religon that's all man made. U r a child of GOD the kingdom of GOD is in u yr mind is yr temple. No church no books no dogma just u & JESUS. GOD bless u with great health wealth happiness wisdom and love. Then share it ♡
That’s why in the beginning man created god.
100%. It seems that most, if not all, of these interpretations are designed to keep another group of people under control, like women, children or slaves.
Sally May What evidence do you have to support your claim? Aren’t you merely creating your own god out of nothing? This cannot bring you or anyone else peace, happiness, or love. Viva Cristo Rey!
@@petertherock7340 I know the euphoric feeling she is making her claim from, it's called the word. Every man has his own view of God and where he belongs within it. But simply put the word of God (the bible), cannot be disputed, religion didn't bring the word, it's God himself who brings it. Just as always religion is an ongoing fight of who's right and who's wrong. Jesus didn't preach "religion" only that we love one another as he has loved us and live by his commandments.
I've been praying to God to help me get into the word more. I started a new job a couple months ago and befriended a coworker who is a jw. Last week we decided we will get lunch every Wednesday and discuss scripture. He is in his early 30s and is an elder in his congregation. I am almost 20 and was born again a year and one month ago. I love my coworker and I really hope God can use me to help him see the light of the true gospel. I am studying so hard right now and it's a blessing and an answer to my prayers. When I read I come to tears because how beautiful the word of God is. I love Jesus so much and if anyone sees this please say a quick prayer that God might be glorified through this new opportunity and that my coworker, Blake, might be saved and come to know the word in spirit and in truth. Thank you❤
Be careful and put on the full armor of GOD because he has his beliefs that he will fight you with.
@lary Snw LOL, your brethren are equal to Mormons for ad hominem attacks on the Body of CHRIST. At our doors when confronted you exit stage right if the WORD is being preached. It must burn your soul to hear the truth. Does your magazine have a jelly-fish Taz Russel for a fold-out every edition?
David: Griffitt It sounds as of your new co-worker, a JW is having his impact upon you and helping you talk about the Bible at lunchtime. (They are not allowed to talk about religion during work hours -- it seems.) Communicate with a purpose, so you can learn and teach.
@lary Snw:: Your second paragraph classically *made my point* and took away from your first.
Technically, *all employees* are paid to do a job and should not stray. I am not singling out the JW's, since they are the topic of discussion.
Maybe this will help you! FACTS ABOUT THE CHURCH OF CHRIST
“Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you” (Rom. 16:16). KJV
Loved ones, the church of Christ has no creed but the Bible. The Scriptures furnishes a man unto all good works (2 Tim. 3:16-17). They give mankind everything that pertains unto life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:5). The New Testament is Christ’s and the apostles’ doctrine to govern the church of the New Testament (Acts 2:42; 2 John 9-10).
The church of Christ believes in speaking where the Bible speaks and being silent where the Bible is silent. It speaks as the oracles of God (1 Pet. 4:11). It holds fast the form of sound words (2 Tim. 1:15). It teaches nothing that the apostles did not teach or preach (Gal. 1:9).
Believers must teach and practice all the truth… nothing less! We must not to go beyond the truth as revealed in the New Testament (1 Cor. 4:6). The scriptures do not teach that we are miraculously converted by a direct operation of the Holy Spirit; rather that we are converted when we believe and obey the Gospel (Mark 16:15-16). Even sincere men can be deceived, so the only safe guide is the Bible.
The church of Christ pleads for the unity of all believers in Christ upon the basis of the Word of God and the one body. Jesus prayed that all be ONE (John 17:20-21). Paul pleaded for “speaking the same things” (1 Cor. 1:10). There is one body, and the body is the church (Eph. 4:4-6; Col. 1:18; Eph. 1:22-23).
The church of Christ is not a denomination. Denominationalism is not from God, but from man. They are in competition with the church the Lord established. Denominations offer many different things. They appeal to what man expects or wants. The church of Christ is pre-denominational and therefore undenominational. It has no membership in any human organization. Its members are in no spiritual organization other than the one to which the Lord adds the saved (Acts 2:47).
The church of Christ worships according to the fashion in the New Testament pattern. We worship God “In spirit;” that is, with sincerity, and “In truth;” that is, as the Word of God dictates (John 4:24). It opposes all items of worship not authorized in the New Testament. Following the unauthorized doctrines and commandments of men makes worship vain (Matt. 15:9).
The worship of the church of the New Testament consisted of: SINGING (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16), GIVING (1 Cor. 16:1; 2 Cor. 9:7), TEACHING/PREACHING (Acts 20:7), PRAYING (Acts 2:42), and partaking of the LORD'S SUPPER on the first day of every week (Acts 20:7). If we worship and continue steadfastly in the apostles doctrine God will be pleased (Heb. 11:6).
The church of Christ wears no name but the name of Christ, and opposes all names of man’s invention. The disciples of Christ are called CHRISTIANS (Acts 11:26). We glorify God in the name CHRISTIAN (1 Pet. 4:16). Paul did all he could to persuade a king to be just a CHRISTIAN (Acts 26:28). The Bible condemns wearing human names (1 Corinthians 1:10-13). It is these other (denominational) names that divide believers. Why not just be a Christian?
The church of Christ is apostolic in its organization. Elders are appointed in every congregation to oversee the church (Acts 14:23; 20:28). Elders that rule well will take the oversight and not lord it over God’s heritage (1 Tim. 5:17; 1 Pet. 5:1-3). Deacons are also appointed to assist and serve the saints (Phil. 1:1; 1 Tim. 3:8-13). Evangelist are used to preach the word (2 Timothy 4:1-5). The church is not run by women or a majority rule. It is not run by Popes, councils, conferences, etc. But as its only head (Eph. 5:23), Christ dictates His will through the apostles and is overseen by a plurality of elders.
The church of Christ teaches that the Gospel, as revealed and confirmed by the Holy Spirit, is able to convert sinners and bring them to salvation. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Rom. 1:16). We are saved by grace through faith in the gospel (Eph. 2:8; 1 Cor. 15:2-4). Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Rom. 10:17). We are begotten through the gospel; that is, by the word of truth which sanctifies (1 Cor. 4:15; Jas. 1:18; John 17:17).
All the work and worship of the church of Christ is done simply as Christians, through the local church, and not through some human organization. Building and maintaining societies and institutions takes away from the personal involvement of the Christian. God is glorified by the church of Christ, not human institutions (Eph. 3:21). The church is the pillar and ground of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15).
The church of Christ is the church that Jesus built in the first century and it belongs to Him (Matt. 16:18). Christians simply need to follow His instructions for how it is to operate. In the New Testament there is no organization larger than, smaller than, or other than the church to do the work of the church. Jesus did not give authority for any others.
God wants us to become His children by believing in Jesus and being obedient to the simple scheme of redemption (Galatians 3:26-27). For salvation the church of Christ teaches sinners to do only what Jesus taught through the apostles: believe (Acts 16:31), repent (Acts 3:19; Acts 17:30-32; Luke 13:3), confess Jesus (Rom. 10:9-10), and be immersed (baptized) in water (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; 1 Pet. 3:21) to wash your sins away by the blood of Jesus (Rev. 1:5; Matt. 26:28).
If we follow the same examples of conversion as we find in the New Testament, we will have the same hope that they had. When we do this we are saved and added by the Lord to His church kingdom (Acts 2:47; Col. 1:13). As Christians He expects us to live faithful lives to receive a crown of life (Rev. 2:10). If you do these things you shall never fall (2 Pet. 1:5-11). The useless unfaithful unfruitful branches will one day be cast into fire and burned (John 15:1-8). The unrighteous shall not enter the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9-10).
Why not consider becoming just a Christian and determine to simply follow the doctrine of Christ as given by the Holy Spirit through His apostles?

As a former JW, WBTS convinced JWs WBTS was going back to the oldest transcripts and being so scholarly with translation. They need to register for a new business name: “Watchtower BS Society.”
Absolutely perfect Mr. Winger. I came across this program on Jehovah's Witnesses and listened to the entire program. You were spot on when you said that JW's will change the subject, and we have to bring them back to an agreed-upon topic. Your reference to Hebrews 1 which states that Jesus is higher than angels in response to JW's claim that Jesus was Michael the archangel. Also, and this is very important, we shouldn't attack the Jehovah's Witness, we should present the case for orthodox Christianity with gentleness and respect. I teach the importance of inviting them back again. Make them feel loved so that should they jettison their heresy, they remember the loving experience they once had with a Christian. Again, great presentation. Perfect! Mitchell E. Buchta
You offend many but save some of us listeners. Sharing truth is more important than being liked.
dabigisland1 - Your perverted version of the truth, tell me about dinosaurs again, I by were they on Earth?

@@HappySunshineDay The sword of God is his word and not a literal sword as stated in Hebrews 4:12
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Jesus also said in Ephesians 6:12
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
and also in Matthew 5:44
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
As it says in Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
We tell you the truth out of love that you might be saved because we care about you. Offence is taken, but not given.
Most likely they were hy rids GMO’s created by the fallen angels and their offsprings..... The main reason for the great flood was to get rid of all of thise things tainted/not designed by God YHWH...
My brother, an ex JW, asked me why his relationship with his girlfriend was going sideways. God gave me an insight. I told him, "You may no longer be a JW but you still think and act like one. You don't tell people what's right about what YOU believe , you tell them what's wrong about what 'THEY believe. When you do that to people you supposedly love you alienate them. I think the light came on for him. I hope so.
Best comment ever. It's so true. I was raised a JW and left almost 20 years ago. But yes, we were literally trained to argue with people, to correct them. Because we had 'the truth' and whatever they said was clearly wrong. Of course all of those 'truths' came from the organisation who twist and filter everything and essentially control people through subtle fear. Fear of questioning things, fear of doubt and a fear of any information not supplied by them.
It's so true that we teach people why they're wrong. It took me a long long time to learn not to be an oppionated man. I can happily say Im a much more patient, understanding and empathic person that actually listens to people, than I ever was while in that organisation.

That is 5,190 more than there were in February 1973! A 34-percent increase! Does that not warm our hearts? Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end." Kingdom Ministry May 1974 p.3 How Are You Using Your Life?

While the time of discipline has been hard , it is proven Hebrews 12:11 true to me.
I have experienced the world and I have found a new level of respect for Jehovah and his laws and his organisation.

I have realized that as Hebrews 12:6 says, Jehovah disciplines those who he loves.This is a major help and confort for me.
When I was child in the truth I acted like a child. I deeply regret what I done to myself, to our congregation and to Jehovah and I feel great sorrow for this.
With the changed attitude I began to truly change my life in more ways than one. So now I confidently ask to be reinstated into the Christian congregation so I can experience Jehovah's love and forgiveness openly with my brothers and sisters.

"For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds."
- 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
Galatians 1:8,9 says. "However, even if we or an angel out of heaven we're to declare to you as good news something beyond the good news we declared to you, let him be accursed. (9) As we have said before, I now say again. Whoever is declaring to you as good news something beyond what you accepted, let him be ACCURSED."
1 John 4:1 - Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.
2 Timothy 2:15 NIV Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
2 Peter 2:1 "However, there also came to be false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among YOU. These very ones will quietly bring in destructive sects and will disown even the owner that bought them, bringing speedy destruction upon themselves."
Luke 21:8 "He said: “Look out that YOU are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time has approached.’ Do not go after them."
Thank you ,Mike, for defining cult properly and accurately. God
You mean like the cult he is in?
@@777Tralfaz777 You mean like the cult you are in? Does the bible say to cover up for pedophile leaders of your cult, and transfer them around and shield them from prosecution so they can continue to molest more children? “The Secret Database of Jehovah’s Witness Child Abusers - The Jehovah’s Witnesses have refused three times in court to turn over a database containing the names of every known child abuser in their American congregations.” - Daily Beast, 2020. “The leadership of the Jehovah’s Witnesses - one of the world’s most insular religions - for 25 years has instructed its elders to keep cases of child sexual abuse secret from law enforcement and members of their own congregations, according to an examination of thousands of pages of documents in recent cases.” - Jehovah’s Witnesses use 1st Amendment to hide child sex abuse claims, 2015
When you leave, you are so lost. Some are alone and depressed, even suicidal. It's sad when you feel everyone turn their backs on you and abandon you in the name of God.
Wow very interesting.
Yes. Really sad! That's not love!!
Raychelle Handy nope they run off fear while Jesus is nothing but love and the Holy Ghost will come around and lift your spirits
It's so ironic that the Awake magazine in 2003 had an article about giving people the silent treatment. They called it bullying. Then they turn around and do just that. Their hypocrisy beyond imagination.
I've been through for 16yrs now. But I've moved out and move on.im so happy following my heart.
Now that I've heard the entire study...I would like to thank you,for sharing all of this helpful information.Learned a lot today..Blessings~
Hi Pamala, can I have your permission to have nice Godly chats about my eternal Heavenly oh righteous Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth?
Learned that Jesus has no disciples on earth today? Just wondering.
It is absolutely bananas how lost these people are
Who? The Calvary Chapel?

@@StretchMn JWs always pointing fingers at others. They should worry about themselves. Matthew 15:11 NIV What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, *but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them."* Tell us about those *sinful* worldly people you JWs go on so much about, did you forget you inherited the same sins?
👩🏻💭" Sir you are exactly right". I thank you for this video.
I was a JW for over 30 years but when they changed thoughts about the generation I began to ask questions and people started shunning me. It made it clear to me that they were wrong and if god's blessing had ever been with them, it no longer was. My main problem now is I don't know what's true and what's not. My head is full of their false teachings and I can't think clearly. I don't know who to talk to and can no longer pray because I don't know what the truth is anymore. Some guidance would be useful. Btw I do agree with everything you said in this video.😊😊😊
It helps to learn some critical thinking skills to be able to differentiate actual truth from claims. Humans can claim that anything is true, and there's nothing too absurd to believe on 'faith', but "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" - Carl Sagan. Also, "A wise man...proportions his belief to the evidence" - David Hume. When you ask a cult member for their evidence, it ultimately boils down to "some member of my cult said so", with no evidence for the claim being true. What do you have more evidence for, liars lying, or women being impregnated by gods, or a talking snake, talking donkey, 900-year-old men, etc.? "Experience should instruct every thinking human that there is a HIGH PROBABILITY that not everything that people claim to be true is actually true. Some claims might be made with the claimant aware that the claim is not true and some claims might be made with the claimant thinking that they are true but being mistaken...most humans and those who would use reason to guide them will want some EVIDENCE and reasoning to support a claim being asserted to be true." Dr. Philip A. Pecorino, Philosophy of Religion
What Mike says in this video is very little truth, but mostly lies and misrepresentations.
The understanding of generations is a little thing, and unless you were causing problems or other more serious issues, not something to shun over.
What are you to believe? Truth. The bible is truth.
But which religion teaches it? As man can twist things to their doctrines.
Jesus said at Mt. 7:13-23 that we would know the true religion based on their fruits. A good tree produces fine fruit and a rotten tree produces worthless fruit.
Look at all churches. Do they support and join in violent protests and killing their brothers in man's greedy wars?
Do they support and allow and condone immorality and homosexuality?
Do they infuse paganism into their worship? Like the trinity? Christmas? Easter?
Then their fruits are rotten.
You know JWs do none of that.
Jo. 6:67,68 - So Jesus said to the Twelve: “You do not want to go also, do you?”
Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life."
Hello, jinx. What you're going through - and I can only guess how confusing it is - is normal. From the former JWs I've talked with, it can take awhile to be rid of the falsehoods of the JW "religion." I would encourage you to write to Mike W's ministry directly and explain your situation. I'm sure someone there would be very willing to help you.
Just an FYI: Mark/StretchMn is an active JW. That's the reason for his post.
@@jamesritter5078 What you're going through - and I can only guess how confusing it is - is normal.

@@StretchMn You said, "The bible is truth". How do you know---because some member of your cult said so? That's the same reason that Muslims belive the Quran, and Mormons believe the Book of Mormon. You then claimed, "Jesus said at Mt. 7:13-23". How would you know that Jesus really said this? Were you there? Did God appear to you and tell you this? All you have is a manuscript written by some unknown Catholic scribe, dated hundreds of years after the supposed events, that makes this claim. So you trust the claims of unknown cult members, and think that's "truth"? It's the LEAST CREDIBLE kind of claim. The same author claims that Jesus mother was impregnated by a god. How would he know? Was he there? Did he witness this divine impregnation? The author of Mt. does not claim to be an eyewitness or inspired by god. If you make such a claim where's your evidence?
This is about the 5th time I am watching this video. I am preparing myself to talk to JWs.
I work with one... It's a tricky thing but I read and study scripture so that I'm fully prepared. With the help of the Holy Spirit, to defend my FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS🙏
I'm a Jehovah's Witness, but I do not believe any of the stuff they say.
Well talk I'm listening
ask me whatever questions you'd like to
I'm a solid Jw
@@draketheminer3505
Shame on you
@D Shame on you too cause watching this video immediately voids your right as a faithful follower.
May God fortify you more for your calling
I was with that organization and my spiritual GOD took me out quickly and lead me in the right direction and i give the spirit of truth glorification thanks for the wonderful things he has done for me from he formed me in my mothers womb until this present moment,hallelujah hallelujah amen
great video! I am an ex jw and being shunned by my family because I decided to leave it and follow Jesus. this video was very accurate and informative! God bless ♡
+Katja Vestergaard Thank you Katja. I pray that God would open the eyes of your family to the true grace of Christ.
Amen!
Katja Vestergaard why do the jw don't let their children date as a minor?
your lucky.
Katja Vestergaard I would love to see someone do a video contrasting how much Witchtower has in common with her mother the RCC. From the teachings to the organizational structure with emphasis on terminology. We see she is Freemason which is a secret daughter of Rome and Watchtower also has direct similarities to The Harlot Catholic Church.
Look at the word magisterial as in magisterial servant.
MAGISTERIUM is the official teaching authority of the RCC by ways of their "traditions" they force followers to believe it gives them authority Over and Above the BIBLE Authority.
Look at the etymology of the word itself. Magisterial = Magi = Sorcery!
Witchtower also uses that authority to add and remove scriptures by this same tradition which we all know how God feels about that. Read Revelation 22:18&19
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
