Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses: "Religion is a Snare and a Racket"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
- Upon awakening to the truth concerning JW.org, some seek to remain, while others join other religious groups. What is the course of wisdom? Jehovah's Witnesses feel they are the one true religion, but is any religion the one and only selected and approved of by God?

I have been 'binge watching' your videos. I can't stop.You have become such a comfort to me.
I truly am happy I was taught the Bible by friends who are JW's but I am ecstatic that the Holy Spirit is pointing me to the freedom that belongs to the Christ! Thank you for sharing the deeper things of YHWH Eric....truly I am eternally grateful.
Me as well. I am studying with the witnesses but I do see some parts that I don't agree with...
Me 2🙂
Very refreshing for me since I have faded, leaving a man's organization but drawing closer to Jehovah. Too bad that my loved ones have lost respect for me.Thats the price I have to pay for my freedom.
Fingertips Haensel : we have to expect this, those who belong to Christ will be hated by the world.
Fingertips Haensel a debt I was glad to pay, heck let’s give them a bonus with a package ( this video)
Don't give up, remember Matthew 10:32,33
Truth is our love for the Christ and God are greater than our love for our own comfort. Now that's true love.
I always felt this way. I feel like we belong to God and jesus through the holy spirit. Not in religion following men but god.
Thank you thank you so much Eric!!!! I am 61 born into this religion like you, I am awake , yes I have made up my mind to leave this is so encouraging. I pray that Holy Spirit will continue to help me and aĺl truth lovers in Christ
One of the best ExJW video I've seen. You pretty much nailed this topic, and captured all of the main points on this topic! Amazing Job!
I was only a baptized jw for two years officially. I was disfellowshipped at 18. For decades I thought it was the truth, and made 4 attempts at re-fellowshipping, It was a nightmare the way I was treated. I was finally set free, praise God.

I have tears of gratitude steaming down my face. Thank you for taking all the time it took to create this message. What a wonderful feeling to know, to feel, to be apart of this awakening. I appreciate you more than I could ever put to words. Thank you for your strength and sharing your knowledge. ❤
You said that beautifully. Yes, we are a part of an awakening. Eric has done all he could to thwart the designs of the Pharisees.
Beautiful
I have recently been baptized I didn't know all of this was going on but all my questions had been answered now I am hurt and loaded down thanks to Jehovah God to share light
I'm so glad you woke right up. So many of us lost so much to this crooked Organization. Good for you!
Excelent
The fear of the Lord is the begining of wisdom.
I'm so thankful to have come across your channel. I truly appreciate the way you explain each topic with scriptural evidence and you take the time to verify the context of said scripture. This is the way a logical thinker would research and thank you for sharing! You probably would have been my favorite elder in the hall 😉
Although I don't agree with all of your doctrine, your argument is very sound, and if you have helped many enslaved people separate themselves from the Watchtower organization, I applaud you!
This is the boat I have been in for several years. I am so glad to hear you speak of this. I kept thinking I have to go look for a church in my area to fellowship with. Now I know that I am where I belong. I am a believer in Jesus Christ, he has already given it all, complete in him!
Eric your videos and research on the Bible are so valuable to me and a breath of fresh air. Thank you
I so appreciate how you break things down in such a simple way that frankly. leaves things bare an undeniable in the light of truth. Thank you once again for your insightful and honest look at things and for sharing them with all of us. Already looking forward to the next!
Thank you Eric, you hit it right on. . Loved the quotes you read from studies from the scriptures by Russell.. Maybe that's why the Org had ordered those old books removed from the k/h back in 2009/2010 to be destroyed. You won't even find them in the jw library. Some have even called Russell's work old light or almost apostate like reasoning.. It's funny Russell condemns what he started and preached almost 140 years ago..
The Truth. . . Is A Person. . . And That Person Is Jesus Christ. . .
===>> I Am The Way. . . The Truth. . . & The Life. . .
"the organization is fast moving" (JW line of reasoning as to why it's approved by God) yes....it's fast moving towards an iceberg. So thankful we can all look to Jesus and walk on water.
Alexandra B
Walk on water?
@@elmerfudd1047 Jesus walked on water because of faith. The point is that all we need is faith. We don't need an organization to get to salvation
@@BeroeanPickets BINGO!! Exactly !!! With or without . . . an Organization . . . isn't Important. Having Faith , in Yeshua (Jesus) and His ransom sacrifice , is Paramount !! :):)
I am thinking these domination type organizations will be judged harshly as not coming from god. And that’s not easy to say as I have spent my entire adult life as one.
love your videos - refreshing to see an ex-elder say; you don't need to agree with me to be saved - ask questions
So grateful to be free of Watchtower but need to deepen my relationship with Jesus Christ through heavenly father Jehovah God. Amen
And Visa versa !! 😌 🔄
😉👍
I like what you say! I have been in & out and have been out for ten yrs. The last rendezvous was all I could take. From the age of five now 71 and not looking back.
Life changing information , i needed this video to understand that our teacher is christ and our father is jehovah and that we dont need men to interpret scripture for us , the word of god was written for each and everyone of us and thete is No True leligion but only a true worship ..i was bound and caged like a bird , unable to spread my wings in faith but now i feel free at last ..tbank you so much for your wisdom , you are a true person of god
Thank you, Brother Eric, for all your hard work to bring the understanding to us that Jesus wants us to learn. I enjoy the freedom that you have too.
Hello Eric . I have heard a couple of your videos in Spanish and found your channel in English. This has been of blessing to me as now I could understand better the way I have walked coming out of institutional (cristian) church. Reaching to the same conclusions coming from a different way opened my eyes to a greater understandign of what may be happening these day. The way you present these topics is excellent, thank you for making them. Saludos desde México
This has bin something I’ve said in my heart to my self all my life. Subbed and feeling not so insane anymore lol thank you. I found this seeking truth. 👏🏻
Your doing an awesome job. Thanks for a wonderful talk that inspires faith in Jesus.
Well said " You do not find the truth but the truth finds you" because Jesus is the truth. He makes the choosing of his elect (John 15:16), the truth reveals to those who did not ask for him (Isa 65:1). Jesus the truth is the stone that the builders rejected Psa 118:22 "The stone that the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone" . The truth is the stumbling stone of Isa 8:14: "He will become as a sanctuary, But as a stone to strike against And as a rock to stumble over To both houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare To the inhabitants of Jerusalem."

This is good for me. Ever since I’ve left JWs I’ve had and continue to have fear in joining any church even though I love being involved and around fellow worshipers of Jesus Christ. Eventually I see conflict with worshipping out of spirit and truth and catering to church or religious requirements which begins to erode the one on one relationship with the Spirit and myself who up to now has been my only teacher. I never want to loose that by joining another organization again.But this seems lonely and isolating which does not seem correct either. I will continue to listen to what you have to say for now. Thank you, Karl
Karl Schaeffer : Karl I think God wants us to return to the 'primitive church' where they gathered in houses. God will give you what you need just as you need it. Ask Him to send you people, and trust in His providing.
This brought tears to my eyes ,the feelings I know is true that The Holy Spirit is revealing it to each of us that's awakening
Very nice discourse brother. Much appreciated and thank you ❤️
I personally gave the San Luis Congregation the money they needed. The headquarters took the money, sold their Kingdom Hall and make the members attend another Kingdom Hall over 44 miles away (one way).
When you used the phrase "Awakening Children Of God", I felt freed and smiled. Also, the acronym would be ACOG...a cog in the works toward Jesus and Yahweh and real truth! Thank you.
Thank you brother for having such courage...as God YHWH has chosen you because you are seeking him......Truth Knowledge and Understand
Thank you for your excellent research. Your video was very concise, well researched, and excellent documentation.
What an excellent video, you explain topics well. Very informative and you gave me great points to bring to the attention of any JW that accuses me of leaving god. I left because the Kingdom Hall was a hostile, socially tiered windowless box that incorrectly taught me about Jesus and salvation.
G Money: People are escaping Babylon from ALL the denominations, seek those who have the fruit of the spirit..stay strong.
Haaaaa, good point
Cuz he was an elder of 40 yrs. My study conducter was of 50+yrs in... u can just hear their experience wit the knowledge of dealing with the organization when they talk about it.
The terms of slander the organization has used to make one feel shame, "They left Jehovah, or They were never from our sort." They misuse the true meaning of Love for the Christ to love of their governing body and organization. They have put themselves on high judging others. When they shut their eyes and ears to truth.
Thank you very much. The best explanation I ever saw
Great video i feel we put our trust in men instead of Christ. I believe men have their own agenda when they start a religion, its for Control, power and Money. Everyone has their own personal relationship with Jesus so don't allow another human being the right to tell you have to go through them. At the End of the day they are sinners just like you.
I. Really and totally agree with your comments they are sinners just the rest of us we might just sin differently that's it.
Truly amazing video, you’re so clear and interesting to listen to.
I’m always looking forward to the next video you post.
Thank you for that explanation..
Ijust called a sister from Spain as a reply to her message.and I told her I dis associated myself from the watchtower but not ftom Jehovah,,and she told me that probably I am listening to some negative criticismm frm others agaist the org. And I should call an Elder to help me recover my faith.
She said that Jesus appointed the faithful and discreet slave so that it can feed us food at the proper time and we should obey the Org. blah - blah - blahatthend she said she will stop talking t me.and she sad byee--
I tell you I wsthe one who introduce Jehovah to her, she studied get baptised , became a pioneer u til now and married to an english elder.They now serve 8n Marbella Eng. Cong in Spain.
It is such a common line of reasoning, Juliet. They have been fed this for so long that it is all they know how to eat. The real food from God tastes funny to them.
People do not realize that the study program is a transitioning to mind control. (Sounds strange). Then you need to step back and take a look at the organization babtism questions. You must answer YES to the organization identification.
Eric, in my opinion this is the most important video for me you have ever done! All of your videos are very well done, you’re teaching methods are excellent, but this one takes the cake! I myself have some of Russell’s books but not that one you’re using. I am so glad that you have that book. I believe that it has proven to be the most significant words he ever uttered, even though he never realized it when he said them. Thank you so much for making the founder’s thoughts on this available to all. His words are a bright shining beacon shining through the thick gloom of false religion/leaders. It’s almost like the words at Isaiah chapter 30 verse 21 which says:” and your own ears will hear a word behind you saying: this is the way, walk in it, you people,” in case you should go to the right or in case you should go to the left.” If Russell ever uttered anything inspired, this was it! Sadly though, those in JW.BORG would say “ oh that’s old light, you are not of the body, you must be assimilated.” Is it any wonder they want to constantly re-write their history. Final thought, BOY I WISH IHAD THAT BOOK !
Here are a couple of sources for it online:
faithleaks.org/wiki/documents/1/13/B1916__-Studies_in_the_Scriptures_3-__Thy_Kingdom_Come.pdf
archive.org/details/ThyKingdomComeByCharlesTazeRussell
Not necessarily the same edition I have as I believe three editions were printed.
Thank you Eric for those references to Russell’s books, much appreciated, however the real literal book would definitely have more impact to a witness, simply because they have a hard time believing anything on the Internet. But something is better than nothing even if just for my own personal reference..... thank you Eric.
Very profound Brother Eric the Truth will find you‼️
Amen! Outstanding study. Thank you Brother. I was recently called a snake by a young woman after I had warned her about her apostate church operation. My Testimony - a 50 year experience of attending church buildings - a declaration that today's church buildings are building the kingdom of the Antichrist.
The Mission
Luke 4:17-21: Jesus opened the book and read from Isaiah(61): "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." When Jesus finished reading he sat down and said, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."

I don't go to church: from a blood bought, born again Christian with over 50 years of going to church
Dear People, please, I plead you... please listen to my statement and testimony
These 501c3 brick and mortar buildings (and even those run under private or limited liability corp) run by apostate trained CEOs called pastors are not BIBLICAL. They are literally making Merchandise of you and your children and your children's heritage. They are cursed by God under both Galatians 1:8,9 and 2 Peter 2:3... In fact 2 Peter 2:3, literally says these false teachers through feigned (study the word feigned: invented. fake. counterfeit. deception. fictitious. ) words make merchandise of you...
I've recently completed an 800 page Ebook with my Brother in Christ containing over a thousand references, several thousand pages of source documentation titled: " I don't go to church. A 50 year testimony of attending church to say in agreement with Dr. Larkin, that today's churches are building the kingdom of the Antichrist. " see note 1 below... If anyone wants this open public domain book. I will email you a copy for free. Email me your request to vietrandy@gmail.com. Amazon lists it for $0.99. We wanted to post it for free. But Amazon requires a fee. If you order, please know any profit goes to someone we see in true need that is not a family or related in any way. We by the fear of God will not touch a penny for ourselves. Amen!
But this church going issue has now become my focus. I'm a retired US naval officer, and finished a career in consulting. and recently retired from teaching High school as a licensed teacher. I also spent years living in other countries, including over 6 yrs in Vietnam sharing Jesus with the Vietnamese people.
Here's my testimony below:
To God be the glory Forever! Amen!
Maranatha!

Very good speech. Very calm and with the right critical thinking to explain that the " "True" would find you. Muchas gracias!
Thank you !!!
You have made things so CLEAR
My dear brother
I feel the pain of wasting an entire life to a sect, your have gain an experience that will help many others to wake up, I was partially part of it, I never believe on all their teaching, but I was told that over time I will understand, “ leave it on Jehovah s hand”, I have tried discreetly show elders and circuit overseer, some texts thar demolishes their beliefs, I think I implanted in them the seed of the truth, I have to be in or pretend to be in because all my family is in, and they defend the GB more than the truth, my goal is to wake them up, gradually, any advise?
Sincerely
Your brother in Jesus Christ.
All you can do is keep sowing. God will make it grow, or not. But what a join when some of it grows and produces good fruit.
Fernando Solis Stay strong
Loving your powerful and insightful videos!! 👊💪
Please keep 'em coming! 👏👏
Here's a question that has been bothering me: Matthew 13 and Revelation 1-3. Jesus said the "weeds and wheat would grow together until the harvest." Also there were "organized congregations" in Revelation and Jesus addressed them. So are we (JWs who see that Christ is not given his proper place in the organization and we see that the GB has stolen the flock for themselves) being presumptuous or hasty in our exit from organized religion? Should we just stay put and wait for the angels to uproot the weeds? Did Jesus tell those in the sickly congregations in Revelation to relocate? Are we abandoning our brothers because our consciences no longer permits us to worship an idol in a KH? Thank you for your response. And as always, excellent video.
Alexandra B, sure you can keep going to the Watchtower meetings, it is your free will. If you enjoy being hypnotized to a person's way of thinking that is in opposition to Jesus' teachings then you are in a bad place.
Alexandra,
I think it is excellent that you continue to ask questions and want to have Gods approval. For myself I still have questions I ask everyday. It was difficult for me to wake up. I was a Jehovah's Witness for decades. These are questions I had to come to answer honestly Do I think if Jesus is leading this organization from heaven he would ever let it get so out of control? Do I believe he would let the many cases of child sexual abuse go on for 50 or 60 years? Would he allow his chosen people to lie about the abuse of children? Would the Lord Jesus Christ want shunned children to feel as though they were dead people walking with no hope and feel they would be better off dead? I had to ponder this question would the Head of the congregation want us to support an organization that takes a person to a judicial hearing where 3 or 4 men with no witnesses to any of the hearing are able to spiritually kill one of his sheep? Then tell the little lamb the only way for them to have a relationship again with God is to write a letter of reinstatement and they will decide if Jehovah will love them again. This is a presumptuous evil practice that finds no scriptural basis. Matthew 18 lays the basis for discipline from the congregation.Please read Matt 11:28-30 and reaffirm for yourself what serving the Lord Jesus Christ is compared to. I don't believe Jesus Christ would ever ask us to support an organization who demands our allegiance to 8 men, who don't know us , and will not be honest with us. At John 14:6 Jesus explains his role in all of God's purposes, I take the Lord at his word. I don't know how long you have been questioning your faith and beliefs, but take your time, read the scriptures, and pray for your eternal fathers help. Regards a brother in Christ.
Hi Alexandra, firstly thank you for sharing your story on you tube, it was brave of you and of great encouragement to me. (Pv 27:17) Secondly excellent question, are we being presumptuous leaving the org? We need to appreciate no one understands human nature better than Jesus, (gen 1:26) he knows there always will be a status quo, in general people are compliant and simply follow, achieving a paradigm shift for most is nearly impossible. (John 6: 48-61) His words were recorded for those who have an ear that would listen and very few get the sense of it. 1 (1cor 2:9-10). In no way does this lack of understanding lead to their destruction, Jesus is not a hard liner like the GB, he's the loving Shephard who cares for the flock and offers salvation to all. (John 10:11) In time all will have the opportunity to display faith in Jesus or the anti christ, or the wild beast. (Matt 10:33, 2Thes 2: 3-5, Rev 13:15)
Over the past decade the org has definitely tightened its grip over free thought to the point the congregation has become poor and pitiful. (Rev 3:17) No wonder many have been stumbled and left. (Matt 24:10) But what of those of who have left because they are no longer willing to be hoodwinked or have suffered injustice at the hands of men, are these ones presumptuous or not willing to wait on Jehovah?
"I have said these things to you so that you may not be stumbled. Men will expel you from the synagogue. In fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he has offered a sacred service to God. But they will do these things because they have not come to know either the Father or me. Nevertheless, I have told you these things so that when the hour for them to happen arrives, you will remember that I told them to you.“
Interesting to note that anyone disfellowshipped by the org is to be viewed as dead, they believe they have offered a service to God, so as the instigators of this crime they have symbolically killed these sheep. The point? NO you are not being presumptuous you have simply been expelled from the synagogue and that can be liberating. (John 9) Most importantly Jesus told us these things so we wouldn't be stumble or as you put it bothered. The majority of the exjw community is stumbled, they listened to men and are now paying the price for placing faith in men, but the time will come when all of humanity will have the opportunity to take a stand for righteousness. (Ps 146:3, luke 21:28)
Alexandra B
Hi Ali,
I'm assuming you are just thinking out loud about some reservations you may still have about leaving the Org. At any rate, that option is now gone for you anyway. With your RUclips video in the public domain, there is no going back now. Why would you want to?
Alexandra;Areo I think has some very good points to consider. We also have to consider this organization has admitted that it is not inspired.I am not saying that there are not true Christians in the organization, there certainly are. But another thing I would consider is Christ Jesus himself picked the 12 apostles, and this was his organizational foundation. All of these apostles were inspired by God through Christ. Hands were laid On Congregational elders, congregations were inspired them selves with various gifts of the spirit. The evidence was definitely clear that Christ set up those congregations and was leading and directing them all during the apostles lifetimes all the way up to the end of the apostles John’s life. After all the True Christians with gifts of the spirit also died off, there was no more restraint against the apostasy. It was then much easier for Satan to infiltrate the true Christian congregation, not that there were no more true Christians because there was. But very quickly they started to become the minority and not the majority, especially under Emperor Constantine. So to make a long story short Those first century Christians would have stayed.
It was not the time of the harvest or separating work. It was still Christ’s congregation. And Christ direct involvement is proof conclusive that it was. I hope this bit of information has helped you in someway, but in the end only you can make that choice to stay, or leave. Don’t rush it, ponder and consider, and of course pray to Jehovah. In my personal opinion, and this is just my personal opinion, where did any of us on this forum speaking to one another learn all these things. Where did the knowledge we have now originate who taught us these truths. I believe God and Christ have use this organization. I also believe that something has gone terribly wrong within it. And this has actually been prophesied in my view.-with brotherly love Phil
Thx thx thx brader Eric 💜💚♥️
You are one of my favs fo' sho'! I learn soooo much from you.
Wow, I really enjoyed this.
I have been binge watching
all of your videos.
❤
Binge watching these videos is an admirable project. "Religions" have done so much harm.
Whew !!! …fresh air !!!
Two kinds of people; 1. Those who love truth. 2. Those who can live with the lie. One really can not be both. You must choose.
Great talk. Thanks
Hi Eric
Thank you for your insight into WT. I was a JW for 30 years and slowly became disenchanted with many of the comments. I spoke to an elder about my dilemma and he never bothered me again. So much for brotherly support !Your insights Eric are spot on and have helped me make the decision i needed to . Looking at WT now I can see how they work and manipulate many brothers and sisters.
But jesus (Yeshua) also says that where two or more gather in my name there I will be with them. Matt 18:20
The Name Suppressed: THE FACT It is willingly admitted that the suppression has not been absolute; at least so far as Hebrew and English are concerned. The Name, in its four essential letters (YHWH), was reverently transcribed by the Hebrew copyist, and therefore was necessarily placed before the eye of the Hebrew reader. The latter, however, was instructed not to pronounce it but to utter instead a less sacred name---ADONAY or ELOHIM. In this way The Name was not suffered to reach the ear of the listener. To that degree it was suppressed. The Septuagint, or ancient Greek version (LXX), made the concealment complete by regularly substituting Kurios, as the Vulgate, in like manner, employed Dominus, both Kurios and Dominus having at the same time their own proper service to render as correctly answering to the Hebrew ADONAY, confessedly meaning "Lord". The English versions do nearly the same things, in rendering The Name as LORD, and occasionally GOD; these terms also having their own rightful office to fill as fitly representing the Hebrew titles Adonay and Elohim and El, so that the Tetragrammaton is nearly hidden in our public English versions.
For "Yahweh" they have substituted "BAAL", the Babylonian god (el), and "ADONAY", the Canaanite god (el) of the Phoenicians, both corresponding to the English word "LORD". Likewise, the Name of Yahweh's Son, YAHSHUA: (Yahweh is Salvation), has been substituted by YESHUA, IESOUS, IESUS, JESUS, and EA-ZEUS (Healing Zeus). Webster's 20th Century Dictionary Unabridged, Page 2124, says that Zeus is the sky god, and is also known as Deus (Latin), Dio (Italian), Dios (Spanish), Dayus (Sanscript), and Zeus Soter, meaning Zeus the Savior. The substitution of the Names of Yahweh and Yahshua, by the names of pagan gods (elohim), has brought immeasurable harm. Such names as Lord, God, Jesus, and Christ in no way represent the meaning of the NAME revealed by Yahweh our Heavenly Father to Mosheh, and to the ancient Hebrews. By employing these names, the people unknowingly turn the worship of Yahweh into that of gods (elohim), and actually ascribe the loving and merciful characteristics of the Father of Israyl, to the pagan gods (elohim)! Hosheyah 2:8--''For she did not realize that it was I Who gave her grain, wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold--which they sacrificed to Baal; thinking it was the Lord that gave these blessings!''
The Hiding of Yahweh's Name The Masorites, Hebrew Scribes during the Middle Ages, who added the vowel points to the accepted Hebrew Text, did not "remove" Yahweh's Name from the Scriptures. They did, however, point the Four Letter Name of Yahweh with the vowel marks of either Elohim or Adonay---pagan names of gods (elohim) which had been "accepted" for hundreds of years---effectually establishing in their writings, what had previously been only an "oral custom"! These names of the Canaanites' gods (elohim) were "accepted" before the time of Yeremyah (Jeremiah) the prophet; and when Yeremyah began his prophesying, he said: Yeremyah 23:25-27---"I have heard what the prophets say, who prophesy lies in My Name, saying; I have dreamed! I have dreamed! How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Yes, they are prophets of the deceit of their own minds; which devise to cause My people to FORGET MY NAME through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbor, just as their fathers have forgotten MY NAME for BAAL (Lord)." The word Baal simply means "Lord", as is shown in any Bible Dictionary. Unger's Bible Dictionary, for instance, under the subject "Lord", on Page 665, says: "Lord (Hebrew Adon), an early word denoting ownership; hence, absolute control. It is NOT PROPERLY a (righteous) title...MASTER; of kings, as the lords of their subjects." (4.) "Lord. Master, (Greek Kurios) Supreme..." (5.) "Baal (Master) (as noted above, it means Lord)---applied only to heathen deities (gods), or to man as husband, etc..." Unger also tells us, on this same page, that: "The Jews, out of a superstitious reverence for the Name Yahweh, always, in reading, pronounce 'Adonai' where 'Yahweh' is written." On Page 413 of his bible dictionary, Unger tells us: "Baal---common Canaanite word for 'master, lord', was one of the chief male deities of the Canaanite Pantheon, now well known from the religious epic literature discovered at Ras Shamra (an Ugarit of the Amarna Letters), from 1921-1937." The 1872 Edition of Smith's Bible Dictionary, on Pages 195-196, states (emphasis ours): "The substitution of the word Lord is most (sad); for, while it in no way represents the meaning of the Sacred Name, the mind has constantly to guard against a confusion with its lower uses, and, above all, the direct personal hearing of the Name on the revelation of YAHWEH ...is injuriously out of sight."
Amen brother,
Given the divine order in the verse: At 29:11 the "place" is now our born again (nicodemus) regenerated (human) spirit mingled with His indwelling Spirit WHERE there is true worship, WHERE His Spirit witnesses with our spirit we are children of God ... as he who is joined to the Lord (not an org) is one spirit. cf: Zec12.1; Prov 20.27 Rom 8.16; 1Cor 6.17.
The Lord be with your spirit. 2 Tim4.22
Thank you sir. I'm so greatful for the critical thinking you've shown in your videos, backing them up with biblical scriptures. Please, please, please keep up the good work. You are helping save lives. I came to know Jehovah's witnesses during my mid 20's and got sucked into the organization. I've now come to know that I wasn't well informed since I didn't know much about the history and the aim of the JW organization. I was told not to do any research out of the organization. Thank God I have done research contrary to what I was told and have come to know their tricks. The roots of this JW organization is demonic. People should do their RESEARCH!!! so as to not fall victim or prey to this satanic agenda. Oh, and one last reminder; please do refer to the 'holy spirit' as 'Holy Spirit'. I've noticed in the JW bible and literature, they refer to Holy Spirit with a small 'h' and 's' and refer to 'devil' as 'Devil'. Anyone who wants proof should check the JW bible and their publications. They rather even spell G.B as 'Governing Body'. It's such a mockery to God and his Spirit. Hmm. Pls check out 'watchtower Examination' video by Mr. Winston too. Thank u, thank u, thank u. Lots of love sir. Really appreciate your hard work.
EXCELENT EXPLAINATION,
You have reached the same conclusions that I have.
Thank you !
Ahhh, thank you. This is the channel I have been looking for!! I'm am with you on ALL THREE DOCTRINES. My parents were JW's but before that we all were brethren of the Laymen's Home Missionary Movement. I left because I couldn't reconcile the Zionist prophecy of the current nation of the return of Jews to Israel as God's plan at this time. I am opposed to the state of Israel due to unjust civil violations again the Palestinians. The human violation crimes of this state do not align with the New Testament writings. Can you please give your understanding in this matter??
Dear Eric, furthermore ... what about the many single people, not a few of them olderly ones? How shall they go through life? Just believing in Christ all of their own? Is this realistic, let alone worth striving for? Not everyone is strong enough or capable of this.
Or take (single) parents: how should they raise their children to look only at Christ without any support and help in the form of kind of a community...?
In the first century, some members even depended on food rations from the congregation because they apparently had no family support and there was no welfare state yet. They might've been expelled by their jewish clan as becoming christians. How should they have mastered their difficult situation completely on their own?
You've been supported by a community for a lifetime. That you now no longer feel a need for that is more than understandable in view of the gross failures, unbiblical teachings and disgusting unchristian practices of this organization. But does your situation correspond to the reality of most people?
In addition, many people feel a need for community because we are social beings. There are few ones who can or want to go through life as 'spiritual hermits'.
Of course, this includes the challenge of the classic conflict between conformity and individualism. In the case of fundamentalist groups, the balance is used to be extremely wrong.
As much as I enjoy listening to you and as much as I welcome a big deal of what you say, fundamental questions have remained unanswered for me yet. You cannot look at faith on a isolated basis. As much as JW or other institutional religions are no satisfying way on the long run, many people need a sensible alternative including social factors which strongly determine our lives or eventually even make up our lives. This applies in particular to sensitive life situations as mentioned some above...
Would be nice if other people would share their experiences here. Maybe, I'm the only one considering these questions ...
Philan, no, you aren't the only one considering the question of "how to find Christian companionship". Many, if not most of us, have had the same question at some time in the process of "waking up". As the saying goes in Spanish, "Mejor solo que mal acompañado."... "Better alone than in bad company." It takes a while to find others with whom to share our lives and our Christian thoughts, but the reason we are in this lonely situation at this time is "because" of Watchtower's imposition of the "spiritual hermit" requirement for being "one of Jehovah's Witnesses". Definitely, going back to Watchtower will only delay the process of finding true friends, such as David had with Jonathan.
Señor Eric , mi padre ayer me amenazó de muerte por decirle que lo que había creído durante toda su vida es una mentira(solo por eso)
No hay forma de hacerlos razonar porque no quieren escuchar nada que vaya en contra de sus dioses de carne y hueso
Les dije que tenía bombas nucleares cosas que ni se imaginaban , que tenían que saberlas y me dijo que : si abría mi boca para pecar contra el espíritu santo me iba a matar !! Sus amenazas no fueron en broma, se veía el odio. Esta dispuesto a dar su vida por estos hombres
Después de casi una década sin llorar estuve por horas entre lágrimas pensando como este cuerpo gobernante ha torcido el concepto de amor volviendolo un amor condicionado. Es decir , si yo opino diferente a ti ya no puedes ser mi amigo porque soy el anticristo 🤦🏻♂️
Le lavan el cerebro a la gente para convertilos en robots sin criterio
Que Jesús perdone a la gente inocente y ciega como ellos porque no saben lo que hacen.
Gracias por leerme
Muchos testigos se resisten a la idea de que la organización se haya convertido en un culto. Sin embargo, cuando leo relatos como el tuyo, veo abundantes pruebas de pensamiento de culto en la forma en que el cuerpo gobernante controla las mentes y los corazones de sus seguidores.
I agree with all your considerations. On the other hand: weren't the first christians kind of 'organised' in congregations with a basic structure and in kind of a network? Who's going to translate, publish and spread Bibles and this in different languages and worldwide if not a larger group of people organised themselves in some way or the other? Single persons or small Bible house circles might hardly be able to do so, are they? I see it as kind of a dilemma and still got no real or satisfying solution to it. Do you? Thanks for your answer in advance.
Este hombre es más inteligente y lúcido que todos los activistas en lengua española qué he escuchado y visto.
Es más analítico y profundo que la WT.
Muy amable. Gracias
Thank you for this excellent talk and for everything you’re doing. I’ve been slowly waking up for about 5 years. I started doing some real research as of 2 weeks ago as I have my second c-section coming up soon and I’ve always doubted the scriptural validity of JW blood doctrine. I wanted to get to the bottom of it once and for all, which I did. I’ve been watching your talks through from the start. Waking up is very distressing, but your videos are helping me so much. As they have helped my husband this last few years too.. while he’s been patiently waiting for me. Jesus is he way, the truth and the life.. not the GB aka so called faithful and discreet slave. Sadly not very faithful or discreet after all. Thank you again, you’re helping many people and will help help many more.
I am one of the moderators. My name is Vintage. I hope your c-section goes smoothly and your recovery is quick. How blessed your husband must feel to have you wake up with him. I'd avoided the elders for years, and attended meetings at kingdom halls other than mine. But one day, I decided to order Crisis of Conscience, ...read it,... read others,...and then I searched online and found Eric. Yes, it's quite a lot to take in. Getting over the idea that the GB is crucial to our salvation was key for me. They make themselves synonymous with truth and God's favor in the minds of JW's. Lots of videos to watch now. And Eric is working on making a book out of it all.
@@BeroeanPickets Thank you for you lovely reply and well wishes Vintage. Yes my husband feels so happy. Yes it’s just such a lot to take in and it’s so overwhelming at first, but it gets easier the more research and logic that is applied. I’ve had doubts building for years now and it’s a relief to have everything finally starting to make sense. These videos have been invaluable! I’m planning on reading Crisis of Conscience soon too and I’ll keep my eye out for Eric’s new book! We live in Australia so hopefully it will be available in some format here. Thanks again.
@@bumblebee5164,
That's great. Yes, though Crisis of Conscience lifted the curtain and showed me the dearth of spirituality within the Governing Body, I still had far to go as far as straightening out doctrine was concerned. I think Eric gets a kick out of debunking JW myths.:) And that was just what I needed in order to let go of my misplaced loyalty to Watchtower. I hope you have a good time getting free of that quagmire. Blessings to you and your family.
Such sensible reasoning and application of scripture. Enough for any reasonable witness to recognize what to do if they perceive that much of what they have been taught by JW.org over the years lacks scriptural support.
Good job brother. Very well thought out, organized and presented. The organization of JW’s have caused unspeakable damage to the hearts and minds of millions through the years. This has been done in many ways; not the least of which is by insisting that one particular belief system (THEIRS) is the only way to “salvation”. With all due respect brother, and at the risk of receiving a barrage of unkind responses form your viewers and supporters, if I’m understanding you right, I feel like your insisting that the Bible or christianity is the only way to “salvation” is also narrowing people’s minds and hearts to one particular belief system. While it’s wise to take the Bible seriously, we must also research and understand WHEN and HOW it applies to our lives personally. Let’s illustrate it like this. Everyone that drives on a motorway system must abide by the rules of the road including the posted signs. But we must research and understand WHEN and HOW a particular rule or sign applies to us. On certain roads you might see a sign that says “Follow in-cab signal”. That sign is posted for all to read, but who does it really apply to, and when? My two cents on a very complex subject. Blessings.
Excellent reasoning. There are still small Bible Student congregations around the world today seeking truth and believing there is no hell fire, trinity or immortality of the soul. They are autonomous, each congregation electing its own elders and deacons as per the scriptures and studying what they choose.
Well said
No longer "God's 'spirit anointed/nor spirit led' "!
Eric what can I say, I agree 100% well almost 100% with everything you said ,except for we’re not to for sake the gathering of ourselves together. If you have seen some of my other comments I guess it was either on some of your videos or someone else’s I pretty much said the same thing that you said no true religion, only true Christians, however. I have been a JW from birth raised in the organization, it is very difficult to cut the cord, maybe one day soon I will ,maybe. I have been seeing the point you have been bringing out for a number of years and try to express those two others as best I can get away with, mostly with no avail. Jesus said ,where two or more are gathered together there he would be. You have to realize it is very difficult to worship God on your own, I need to worship with others, it is a basic need to worship together. It is very difficult to worship without support from other like-minded lovers of God, it is a natural need. You know iron sharpening iron. I have company right now But I would like to get back with my comments possibly later, again excellent video don’t let it go to your head, Ha! Ha!
I agree Phil. Locally, we have a group that meets periodically to discuss the Bible. We had 20 at our last gathering. All Witnesses, some fully out, some disfellowshipped for apostasy [ They read the Bible and got all these apostate ideas--shame on them. ;) ], and some still associating. We also have on-line meetings to study the scriptures. So willful isolation is harmful, but for some depending where they live and their circumstances, their only means of association is to continue with the congregation and mind their tongue. :)
Understand we're your coming from Phil, i battled with the same issue for a period but for me it was a trade off. I haven't attended a meetting for over 2 years now, other than the memorial which i attend for my wifes benefit who is still a true believer. The control the society now exerts over the meetings is just to Orwellian for me to stay sane in such an environment. One thing you will notice if you stop attending meetings is congregation members will loose interest in you very quickly, fall outside the parameters and you will drop off their radar real fast. Trust me the love you feel your receiving is very conditional. The only way you will receive any attention if you stop attending is talk negatively about the org, you will have the elders on your doorstep toot sweet, because you no longer utter "the good speech". No one in the org will have any true love for you if your not compliant with the 8 men behind the curtain. Next meeting just simply say "you place Jesus as your leader before the GB", and see what reaction you get. One elder told me i sounded like a born again Christian. After that and several other negative comments about my faith in Christ i knew i needed to place a "B" in front of "Org". All the best for 2019.
To Areo: trust me, Areo, I am well aware of their lack of concern when you’re not around, it’s out of sight, out of mind is their motto. I was born in, 65 years, and counting. Usually the only time they’re concerned with me used to call me to find out if I have any time in. You could be dead six months to a year before they found out about it. When I was younger growing up, I loved it, went to all the assemblies in the days when they could be up to eight days long, from nine in the morning to nine at night. By the end of the day you were pretty tired but I loved it. Had the privilege, at least I thought it was a privilege then, to meet Nathan Nor, Fred Franz, Lloyd Barry, Garrett Losch, and others I was too young to remember their names. Talk to different members of the anointed class who were around when brother Russell was president.Then in 1972, I came to the realization that I too had the heavenly hope. But as time went on in the 90s I started to realize and see, different things I noticed started bothering me. I put these things out of my mind and as things went on late 90s I started noticing a lot more, and since 2000 with this new crop of governing body this whole organization spirit has changed drastically!! And they have no shame about it they’re totally upfront and in your face, they’re disgraceful! I feel terrible saying that about my brothers, but God is my witness it’s true. However I am not their judge. I have faith in Jehovah will save his true believers. I never thought in 1 million years this organization would turn into men worshipers, God forgive them. It’s so easy to see where the governing body is coming from. I am so depressed, I can’t say anymore now.
@@philmorris764 hey mate thanks for sharing apart of your story, greatly appreciated. I think we have a few good stories to share. If you would like to stay in contact here's my email.

I suffered from depression for over 20 years but since I removed myself from the environment of Fear, Obligation and Guilt, I've been able to get off anti depressants. Not saying it's a cure for everyone but being soaked in a toxic environment had adverse effects on my mental health and was only spiraling downwards. There is only so much a mere human can take being told your not doing enough for the org, meeting after meeting. So after 30 years of not jumping high enough, not jumping far enough, not jumping fast enough, it was enough. Best decision I had made for a long time. Peace dear brother and once again thanks for your reply.
@@BeroeanPickets Hello Sir I was born in JW And my most my family is JW. My wife is baptist and I am a baptized JW . I have in the last 4 years faded and have only been to memorial once a year. I would like to know if you have a ongoing online bible study . I am a very logical person and somethings in the JW teachings has always been a sticking point for me. I Have watched all of your videos and Consider my self fully awake.
Una argumentación extraordinariamente lógica. Se aprecia un gran amor por los asuntos espirituales, pero a su vez un enorme dolor por haber malgastado su juventud. Muchas gracias
Cuando la esperanza de uno es la vida eterna, la juventud es una gota en el balde. De hecho, solo estoy al comienzo de mi juventud. 😊
I have been giving thought to this question for the friends to ask themselves . Are Jehovah’s witnesses any more blessed than Israel? If the answer is no, which it should be in all modesty, then the question is “why then do we believe that our outcome would be any different than Israel’s of being rejected by God?
Jehovah told Israel the dangers of having a human king. It seems to me that’s what he entire problem is. A top down structure from men does not work.
Well done. Well done, sir.
Great video!
There are many things I enjoy hearing in your videos. However, there are many other things you say that sound to me like you are still indoctrinated by the watchtower. I don’t mean this in a disrespectful way, but just wondering about what your beliefs are now.
Can you give me an example of one or two of the things I say that lead you to conclude I'm still indoctrinated by the Org?
Beroean Pickets well, in the beginning of this video you stated that you believe the Father and Son are not One. While I agree with you in a way, the teaching of the Trinity is not what the org says is the Trinity, 3 Gods in 1. While they are separate beings, they are One in nature, there are no other beings that are of the same nature, Jesus is not on the same level as the angels. I also don’t hear you speak about the Holy Spirit, but honestly I haven’t watched all of your videos, so I could be wrong.
In another video I saw a couple weeks ago, I absolutely loved what you said. You bring excellent points and your videos are very well presented. But, I noticed one thing you said that is what the org says regularly, which is when looking for a true religion, ask if they have others in different countries that fought in war against each other. I believe it was part 12 video. What stood out in that sentence was 1) “looking for a true religion” and while there are many false churches out there, a lot of them are just trying to do the best they can and let God lead them. No church is perfect, but it kind of sounded like you still believe there is “one true religion”. And 2) the fact that you stated the same religion, fighting each other in war scenario is something I used to teach people when I was in the org, and again, I feel that there are many people who defend their country and are spiritual people. The idea I felt you were presenting was the entire “us against them” mentality in that statement.
Those are the only two I can think of on the spot, but again, please know that I feel that you are doing a wonderful job with these videos and I don’t want you to feel as though I’m being judge mental at all. I hope you are not offended. I hope God blesses your online ministry to reach as many JWs and help wake them up.
Thank Lavender Frog. I am planning a series of videos on the nature of Jesus, which will address the Trinitarian view among other things.
@@BeroeanPickets Yay!!! Can hardly wait ☺
I’m a JW, casual, but I feel like I can no linger resonate with the group that openly receives the toxic covid vaccine without any question.
You say, "I'm a JW, casual...". To my knowledge, there is no such thing as a "JW, casual".
❤️
Where did you find this in CT Russel’s writings? I think it can be helpful to make my future points. I’d like to highlight it. I have Studies in the Scriptures…. Thank u sorry played back got it 💜💙❤️
Critical thinking is not allowed.
I loved that clip you showed let's see how do I put it ........ You have no money. 🤣😂
Although we don't agree on certain teachings that you still believe from the Watchtower, regarding "Truth"
To be in Truth is simple to be "IN CHRIST" Romans 8:1-11, because Christ is " The way, THE TRUTH, and the life.
You are either "In Christ" or "In Flesh"
I have had many witnesses completly shut down after sharing these verses from Romans with them. So sad the Watchtower steal away most of the New covenant blessings in the blood of Christ away from the congregation.
And meeting together as believers is so important for strengthening and encouraging each other in the scriptures.
God bless you brother if you manage to turn people away from the watchtower and to the True gospel (Good news) (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and the True Christ of the Bible.
Quite right. The one follows from the other. So if one is believing and teaching falsehood, one cannot be "in Christ".
AGREE
❣
😂I have to watch the movie!!
It's a hoot, as most of his movies are.
what I could never get clarification on is how do they (Gov. body) know that they are "annointed and chosen" ? Jesus hand picked his disciples and the old testament God hand picked his prophets and God picked the Kings of Israel even the judges like Samson and Deborah the bible tell you how they were picked. But the Governing Body and other JW cannot tell you how they know that they are chosen. jehovah even chose Mary to be the mother of Jesus for his birth by a Virgin
How do I get a copy of Russell's book?
All 6 volumes of Russell’s “Studies in the Scriptures” is included in a free app called “Christian Bible Resources”. Or a hard copy of the set can be purchased by going to the bookstore on chicagobible.org
Hi Eric, I must and need to mention this from your talk, you mentioned the allure of everlasting life, I need that hope, were you using this for just an example ? Or did you mean you do not believe in everlasting life after the resserection ?I myself cannot understand why humans worship God and Jesus died for our sins but that was for us to live in a paradusecif everlasting life in no pain , evil or illness and old age, so many things to look forward to. I wasnt sure if you were meaning this was a false teaching? Am I not in understanding?
Hola. Vi su video. Como no se ingles, lei la traduccion. ☺. Don Eric, y como se explica lo que dice el texto de Isaias cap. 60ver: 22 . Que se lo aplican a los T. De Jehova. En este tiempo. Muchas gracias.
What religion today would represent the Russellites of todays witnesses represent the Rutherfords?
Catholic Church forced many of our ancestors that came on the Nina Pinta and Santa Maria, to Catholicism and could not speak or practice their beliefs. Many of the so-called Hispanic had to slightly bend their Jewish names or change them completely. One can seen in family trees going back to Spain and Italy in baptismal records and yes they still exist as some distant cousins have found direct ties to Israel but through Spain or Italy. I know some are converts, whether Spanish, Italian or any Europeans but many do still have ties, despite the dangerous religious fantatical perverts that are preaching this Khazar thing and so on. Though having any DNA ties to Israel or any Jewish ties will not help anyone, as it never did before. It served a purpose at one time. God does not choose one race over another because of DNA or where Ur from. For he loves everyone. Though some kept it secret up until the late 1800s and survived through the centuries. Some here in SW have ties by DNA to Israel due to some that had scattered into Europe. Both ancestors of the nonbelievers in Yeshuah, and the others that did believe in Yeshuah. Yet, seen as the same by most as one they were persecuted. To cut to chase, Forcing one, by any means, means there is no spirit of God YHVH in them. Many thought they were doing Gods will by killing. Torturing and force conversion... but many had the spirit of Hashatan (Satan). The Name of God was taken out first by Ancestors of Orthodox out of the Torah. Then at one time when the Bible was pointed out, there were mistranslations that were in no way equal to what is down in Hebrew. At one time what is stated that the Name of God was re-instated but taken back out... There is a new book now called the Et Cepher which now has the name of God.. Some pronounce it YHVH, or YH (V) as (U) H as in YHUH A... It doesn't matter, there will be a day when it is revealed when the earth will be restored. Yes, I have been returning to what is real from when Yeshuah was alive and taught. There will be a new Earth and he will restore it to the way that it was. I don't believe in fancy buildings and fancy clothing or come to my church or this church or whatever, but it does help when one meets with more in any place wherever it may be. I have been active in studying Hebrew and have no problem even speaking or reading but very basic. Many here are re-learning.
BRAVO!! Sell off all assets so as to give it back to their masters? Is it not obvious that WT is a business and at the head of a business you have shareholders. Who are the shareholders? It does not take an MBA in business to answer this.
They forget about King Manasseh how bad he was but Jehovah fogave him .
Watchtower have done a very good job of keeping u in the dark about msny things.
Were you aware of the Austrailian Royal commission case 29 and 54 for example
A real eye opener those cases
Anyone who's a JW that as the courage to watch the Australian Royal Commision trial - then still stays with the Organization must be short of a few brain cells - but they are told not to view it as its apostate material - yet its a member of their own Governing Body and prominent elders trying miserably to defend their stance before Lawyers appointed by the Australian Government.
I think Maria Russell helped write and edit much of those first few volumes ?
Correct.
The Christadelphians Believes hat God is the creator and Jesus is his beloved son, that the holy spirit is the power of God, that the hope of the believer is through resurrection of the dead and those who have died wait asleep in the grave, until Christ calls them to the Judgement seat and if found worthy will be invited into the kingdom of God which will be established on this earth

Eric you are still chained to some JW doctrines. Hell does exist and soul is immortal. All is in the Bible. Keep researching.
I will, and I will soon release videos to prove whether or not the soul is immortal and Hell is a place of eternal torment. I hope that seeing the reasoning, you'll either accept it or demonstrate from Scripture where the reasoning is flawed.
@@BeroeanPickets Congratulations for keeping an open mind. We both know that the majority of JW doctrines are flawed, misinterpreted. I would you suggest you to remain neutral in his doctrines. I understand 40 years is a long time that you were exposed to them. Keep searching and praying, that is the only way you will receive the revelation of a good doctrine. God bless you and God heal your hearth. God is using you to expose this false religion. You are a Son of God a chosen one. God bless you abundantly. Amen
