      I was also. I never became a publisher nor did I get baptized. My father was disfellowship by the time I was 8 or 9 years old, and to see people he once had a friendship with not speak to him when we were out in public left a cold disconnect within me. So by the time I was 16 years old I decided not to go with my mother, being that she always told me I was going to be destroyed every time I didn't go or made a mistake made me stay away.

      The earth is increasing in temperature, chaotic weather, loss of natural seasons and animal species, higher food and fuel prices, mass migration, wars and more. It is proving what the bible said many centuries ago 'It does not belong to man who is walking, to direct his own step' -Jeremiah 10:23. But there is hope, because God (Jehovah) said he "did not create [the earth] simply for nothing” but “formed it even to be inhabited” (Isaiah 45:18). because he has set a day where he will restore the balance of nature through a heavenly government, the one found in the Lord's Prayer 'Let your Kingdom Come' (Matt 6:10) when on earth "'No resident say 'I am sick'" (Isaiah 33:24). So put your faith in that heavenly government (kingdom) now and be among those that will 'inherit the earth when he restores it (Matthew 5:5). Thank you.

      That is an apostate's claims, not made out of sincerity. All genuine Christians understand the refinement process of understanding that occurs in 100 years of Bible examination. A student cannot know everything on his first day. Since the Bible Students were the only ones proclaiming the Good News that is why Satan has used their initial beginnings to try and discredit Jehovah's Witnesses today via apostates, usually Witness kids raised in the Truth but which truth was not in them and after getting themselves disfellowshipped they became venomous snakes in proactively opposing their former brothers. They now have open slather via the Internet.

      ​@@bossmanreese9745I am so, so sorry you went through this awful torturous abuse from the JW cult.
      My uncle was terrified of my grandma's words which were the same as your mum's.
      Unfortunately he isn't with us anymore as he fell down the road of hard drugs.
      It breaks my heart.
      Had he never been so damn terrified to live, he might still be here today.
      I am so angry what this cult has done to my family. I really, really hate them and can't wait for their karma to get back at them all.
      They have destroyed lives and families.
      My second cousins husband abused her for years (both were JW)
      She got disfellowshipped for speaking out and eventually he took his own life.
      It was a messed up situation and again, caused by the horrible cult that is JW (ran by paedo governing body. Do they really think those creepy men are all going to heaven? They have such a dark secret, all of them.)
      They're the kind of satanism disguised as something else.
      But with eyes to see, I can see the hypnotising they've endured and the evil in their eyes.
      Sickos. All of them.
      They tried to rope me in, but something was far off.

      It's better to describe the things you don't want to do or things you don't believe in are based on what the Bible teaches. We should not just be self righteous according to our own beliefs and wants.
      Are your desires and actions in line with the Bible teaching or the things you don't like and don't believe are those against what the Bible teaches? (2 Timothy 4: 3,4; Mateo 10: 21, 22, 36; Micah 7:6). Through that, it will be known who is the true disciples of God and followers of Christ.

    My second roommate in my early 20's was a JW. He was one of the coolest guys I'd ever known. While I knew him, he was in ex-communication because an ex-girlfriend of his went to his church and told them they had premarital sex. His own family wasn't allowed to talk to him. He continued to go to "meetings" where nobody was allowed to talk to him in hopes that he would eventually be brought back into the fold. I can't imagine being in his shoes. We were both firefighters, and he stayed a night on my shift at the fire station. That night, he wasn't able to help me lower and fold the flag. He told me he wasn't of this world and forbidden to take part in the nightly flag-folding. I couldn't understand how someone so level-headed and cool could be so brainwashed, but human emotion is a powerful thing. When you're brought up believing only darkness waits for you upon death if you don't believe in "insert faith here", the grief is huge. I know this as a recovered ex-evangelical christian.
    Fast forward to this last Saturday. I was coming home with parts to build a new computer and I could see men in suits and a well-dressed woman pushing a stroller with an older daughter in-tow going door to door in my neighborhood. As I started putting the thing together, the lady and her daughter approached me in my garage. Rather than introducing herself, she had her daughter give an obviously scripted spiel to me about sharing the good news. The little girl asked if she could leave me with a pamphlet describing the good news and I responded with "no thank you". The mother let out a little guffaw. It was as though I was completely unreasonable to deny the request of a little girl. Brainwashing works for them. I guess she thought it might work on me too. Oops! No, I don't feel guilty. I hope it all works out for them.

      I don't understand how a rational thinking man could come to the conclusion god isn't real. Do you not believe in morals, love, justice, truth, free will, you? If there is no god there is no you, there are no actual absolute morals, there is no real thing called love, life is just a joke/an accident.
      Also, Time must have had a begin because if it's eternal you wouldn't have past, present and future. You can't start counting or move forward without a start date so what caused/created time? Let me guess nothing?
      If time had a start than matter and energy had a start. We also know this because the second law of thermodynamics, energy is decreasing, so what caused it? Again, nothing?
      The most rational explanation would be a timeless, space less, matter less, eternal, uncaused cause or god.

It is very frustrating to talk to them knowing what I know now versus remembering what I had been brainwashed with as a JW from earliest childhood. The accumulative weight of what I had read in the Bible on my own PLUS what others had said and the kindness they (Christians) had showed me finally just added up one day years later.

    I'm an ex-witness and I didn't know about the beginning of the religion. I was taught it was Charles T Russell who was the co-founder and started the religion. All the other things mentioned here are true. JWs are taught to put the organization before even their own family. I have seen families torn apart because of this rule. There is a high number of people suffering from depression, especially women. Women do not have a voice in this religion. The leaders use scare tactics to control members. For example: if you speak or question the teachings or rules of the organization you are an apostate and it's unforgivable sin against God. This was one of their many tactics to frighten members. When I started dropping out, I was harassed and made to feel like I was an unfit mother. I was told I was a bad mother for becoming inactive. When I tried to tell one of the elders what this elder had said, he right away dismissed me, claiming no one from his congregation would say such a thing. I told him he was wrong. He didn't ask for the name and he ended the conversation right then and I never saw him again. The elder stopped comings. At least something good came from that. They stopped harassing me.

In all my studies I never heard of those dates, and 1874 was even before the first Watchtower. It sounds like a year someone might calculate as the "Second Coming" or establishment of God's Kingdom because the Book of Jasher's chronology is 40 years out consistently even if other calculations were correct. However it sounds like 7th Day Adventist prediction. 1914 was the correct date but Christ's return was his kingship in Heaven. He is not coming to earth to rule or give his life again. Signs from that prophecy began in that year until now, being the last generation or short time period before the end.
      1914 was calculated way back in the 1870's so why would they change it in the 1930's well after 1914 was established as true according to all the accompanying signs?

      As we saw in Chapter 2 of this book, the Bible Students spent decades pointing out that the year 1914 would
      be significant in fulfilling Bible prophecy. However, at that
      time they believed that Christ’s presence had begun in 1874,
      that he had begun to rule in heaven in 1878, and that the
      Kingdom would not be fully set up until October 1914. The
      harvest would extend from 1874 to 1914 and would culminate in the gathering of the anointed to heaven. Do mistaken ideas such as these cast doubt on whether Jesus was
      guiding those faithful ones by means of holy spirit?
      Not at all! Think again of our opening illustration.
      Would the premature ideas and eager questions of the
      tourists cast doubt on the reliability of their guide? Hardly! Similarly, although God’s people sometimes try to work out details of Jehovah’s purpose before it is time for the
      holy spirit to guide them to such truths, it is clear that
      Jesus is leading them. Thus, faithful ones prove willing to be corrected and humbly adjust their views.-Jas. 4:6.

      Are you a jw? If so it will take you exactly 5 minutes to find out they are a cult. Get a copy of their 1969 kingdom interlinear, which shows how the translated the Greek into English to their nwt, and you will notice in no time how they add take away and don't even transfer what was translated.
      Very disturbing to see the Greek read, in the beginning was the word, the word was toward the God, the word was God. Yet instead of copying it word for word, they put the word was a god.
      Do they realize what they did? They created another god, when there is only one God, and they deny Jesus as God.
      All you have to do is do 5 minutes of research to notice how false and corrupt this false religion is.

      ***** Dear Sards: No other religion lets it's members die because of their warped interpretations of the scriptures dealing with blood. The WTS has over 100+ years of false prophecies, they've changed the meaning of the phrase "this generation" over 10 times (desperately trying to get out of a corner they painted themselves into decades ago) and the founder, Charles Russell, believed and promoted ideas and beliefs that would get you disfellowshipped today (pyramidology for one).

      Stephanie Hill Are Jehovah’s Witnesses a sect or a cult?
      Some define sect to mean a group that has broken away from an established religion. Others apply the term to a group that follows a particular human leader or teacher. The term is usually used in a derogatory way. Jehovah’s Witnesses are not an offshoot of some church but include persons from all walks of life and from many religious backgrounds. They do not look to any human, but rather to Jesus Christ, as their leader.
      A cult is a religion that is said to be unorthodox or that emphasizes devotion according to prescribed ritual. Many cults follow a living human leader, and often their adherents live in groups apart from the rest of society. The standard for what is orthodox, however, should be God’s Word, and Jehovah’s Witnesses strictly adhere to the Bible. Their worship is a way of life, not a ritual devotion. They neither follow a human nor isolate themselves from the rest of society. They live and work in the midst of other people.

      funny, I for over 20 years research many religions. and found JW to be the only one that follows the bible the best they can. If they disagree with a teaching they are told to be patient. wait on God to help you understand. they are not shunned. if ONE CHOOSES to think they can understand something without relying on God, not the Watchtower, then that is THEIR choice. they choose there path. I was raised a JW and left. came back so I am a living testimony on years and years of research. all these idiotic documentaries are angry people who are just stomping there little feet. If anyone was to want to find out about any faith ask someone in that faith, not someone who is angry at that faith. Gosh anyone should no that. all I see is more and more proof that we have the truth. even by the angry comments made about JW. the ways and actions of apostates is laid out in the bible, and let me tell you, they fit it to the tee. so all they do just proves it more to me. as for shunning, my family,and JW friends were always there for me. I was never shunned. that is more propaganda by angry x-JW.s only YOU can disfellowship yourself for not be repentant. I have a friend who as disfellowship due to adultry. she went to the elders and said she could no longer live two lifes. she disfellowshiped herself. NEVER has anyone been disfellowshiped involuntarily. I hate the spread of lies and stretch stories. I am living proof of what is true and not. I was not a JW for over 20yrs and studied all faiths, including Wicca, yep, that one too. without being told not to do it on my own. I also know that Satan will do what ever it takes to make you leave God and put info out there to do so. You have to be smart about what you do. If u look for fault in something, you will find it. nothing looks good under a microscope.

    I used to be a Jehovah's Witness for 16 years. I left the organization without having this wonderful information. The years I served to the Watch Tower was a total waste of time. Things did not make any sense to me back then.
    I went to a Jehovah's Witness convention were they announced that the former JW Franz, part of the government body was expelled from the organization. Also they advised us not to read any publication coming from him or any other source. They said to read and to listen only to the literature coming from the Watch Tower. That really called my attention and I stayed very curious for many years. I wanted to know how this could possibly happened being the true religion according to the JW. I am happy you are providing this information to the public. Happy that, now days people have the opportunity to investigate anything first before they get to be involved in false religion, like the sect of the false Jehova Witnesses.

    Nice video. Important info. Individual witnesses believe with their whole hearts that they have the truth and need to share it. Most are very sincere. You can go to a Kingdom Hall nearly anywhere in the world and feel like you are part of a family and they teach the same things everywhere. I don't know of any other organization that has something like that, to that extent. It makes you feel lost when you leave. And there is no easy way to leave. I don't like being around angry or resentful or scornful people and I don't want to join another church. There is plenty to appreciate from being a witness, including not having a smoking or drug habit, learning how to study, etc. I think they are right about some things too. The thing I don't miss though is being afraid of Armageddon, Tribulation and coming persecution. And being told that there will be plenty of time to develop talents in the coming "New System".

    *PROOF THAT THE WATCHTOWER DOES NOT WANT YOU TO THINK FOR YOURSELF!*
    *Watchtower, January 15, 1983 p. 27:*
    Yet there are some who point out that the organization has had to make adjustments before, and so they argue: 'This shows that we have to make up our own mind on what to believe.' *This is independent thinking*. Why is it so *dangerous*? Such thinking is an evidence of pride. And the Bible says: 'Pride is before a crash, and a haughty spirit before stumbling.' (Proverbs 16:18) If we get to thinking that we know better than the organization, we should ask ourselves: 'Where did we learn Bible truth in the first place? Would we know the way of the truth if it had not been for guidance from the organization? Really, can we get along without the direction of God's organization?' No, we cannot!.. *Fight against independent thinking."*
    *The Watchtower, September 1, 1962, p. 524:*
    "The student must express himself as he understands the truth. (Gal. 6:6) *He cannot have independent thinking."*
    *The Watchtower, September 15, 1989, p. 23, 13*
    "In the world, there is a tendency to reject leadership. As one lecturer said: "The rising education level has improved the talent pool such that followers have become so critical that they are almost impossible to lead." But *a spirit of independent thinking does not prevail* in God's organization, and we have sound reasons for *confidence in the men taking the lead among us."*
    *Watchtower, Jan. 15, 1983 p. 22:*
    *"Avoid independent thinking...questioning the counsel that is provided by God's visible organization."*

      it looks like God is the one who tells us to be careful about independent thinking. not Watchtower. in fact you even put the scripture there that shows it is from Gods word. WE are imperfect, so how could we even begin to think we know better than God? in fact, the bible does tells us that we can not even guide our own foot steps. We need God to direct us. Independent thinking? well I can think for my self. God did give us a brain to figure things out. but we must be careful when it comes to spiritual matters. Satan is tricky and will do everything he can to guide us wrong. like he did to Eve, he told her she did not need God. He encouraged independent thinking. So really, do you want to follow Satan way or Gods way? it is a simple answer to this question. one word. so what is it?

    In my congregation a mother was arrested for having a sexual relationship with her son, he admitted to abusing his sister.
    Another boy was abused by his uncle.
    An ex girl friend told me her brother sexualy abused her.
    There were others I found out about from other congregations, one guy who consentialy had a sexual relationship with two of his sisters hung himself....
    It is a rotten religion of small minded, petty fantasists who love to judge others.
    Arrogant and dangerous, preaching should be banned as emotional abuse.
    The religion with the lowest IQ.

    I have had a JW couple at my door giving me Watchtower leaflets and asking me to read passages for them to return and talk about. I have been doing lots of research and I am so ready for them. I don't wish to verbally or mentally slaughter them in any way, I am a kind person and wouldn't do that, but I will be so interested in their side-stepping and evasive answering techniques. It's better than afternoon TV for this OAP and keeps the mind sharp. I have studied the Bible for many years and have ended up becoming a Humanist who would like to think I try as much as I can to be as good, kind and forgiving as I can be. It's not always easy because I'm human but I could not follow this man-made (therefore flawed) money-making, misery-inducing organisation.

    Like a lot of others, I was raised as a JW. Now I'm 48 and I just realized recently that my mental illness is a result of how I was raised. My mom and dad were great, but my mom has been a JW since I was a kid. Now she has dementia so my stepdad asked that if anything happens to him if I would continue her in her faith. At the time I said yes, but now I am a Muslim and that's not happening.

I have decided to be a "non-denominational" believer and follower of Jesus Christ. I was raised in the Methodist Church, but found out that it has ties to Roman Catholicism...ugh. I liked a few of these JW teachings...like NO VACCINES (and I won't name the other things because I might be called unpatriotic...and I'm not!) One of the most ABSURD things they taught...was about dark-skinned people being turned white! How racist can you get???

    A big difference between the Bible Students, started by Russell, and the Jehovah's Witnesses, started by Rutherford, is that Russell encouraged personal Bible study and for people to prove to doctrines to themselves. Bible Students are allowed to have different view points and are allowed to disagree with each other on things. JWs are forced to accept doctrines from a central head quarters and have no freedom of thought.

      The claims you are making are absolutely ludicrous. The Bible Students are 100% against violence. Most of us would rather go to prison than fight in wars. The people you seem to be accusing are not Bible Students.

    • @Settesh
      @Settesh 10 лет назад

      ***** The Bible Students I am referring to still follow Russel's teaching to study the Bible and prove things to our self, but we do not agree with Rutherfords ideas. This is why many left the Watchtower when Rutherford took over. Some stayed and became JWs, others left and became the LHMM, and others kept the name Bible Student and followed the example that Russel set. If you read the six volumes of Studies in the Scriptures, you will see what real Bible Students believe.

    • @Settesh
      @Settesh 10 лет назад

      ***** We tell them that we are non-denominational Christians. We have no governing body. Each ecclessia is independent.
      Yes, we do give out tracts and magazines world wide for free. The Dawn publication house in Chicago prints and sends out massive amounts of tracts around North America. Most of these get translated and sent to printers in many different countries around the world. The Associated Bible Students of Central Ohio (ABSCO) send out a bi-monthly magazine for free to whoever subscribes to it, as well as a digital version for emails.
      There are many websites run by individuals or ecclessias. The Chicago Bible Students have one, ABSCO has one, and there are many more.
      List of some:
      www.chicagobible.org/
      www.biblestudents.com/
      www.agsconsulting.com/
      www.ctrussell.us/
      www.biblestudentarchives.com/
      And there are many more, even in different languages and countries.
      This difference between JWs and Bible Students, as I have been told by ex-JWs, is that you are told what you can and cannot read by your governing body. I have been told that you have been forbidden to read the original six volumes of Studies in the Scriptures, by C.T. Russel. These books were the foundation of the original Bible Students. You have been forbidden to research your own organization's history beyond the material that they have given to you. When you are baptized, you are baptized into your organization instead of into Christ. Most Bible Students still have hope for a heavenly prize, while the JWs believe that the door to the high calling is closed. We are allowed to explore our own ideas. We are allowed to question things. If a JW questions what your governing body tells you, he will be excommunicated.
      There are some big differences between us. Please correct me if I am wrong about anything.

    • @Eric4director
      @Eric4director 10 лет назад

      Curtis, this poster is mental. No there isn't an official place to examine any of this because it's a false interpretation. The JW constantly maintain and weed out many immoral practices. There followers used to be allowed to smoke early in the days and then they examined a scripture "The body is your temple..." and took a stand against it. The poster of this video will argue that they change their minds about that but the light shows itself with time and all they do is try to be the best they can. I was one, i know for a fact their intentions are the utmost positive ones. I've never been happier in my life. I left the "little flock" due to fornication and decided to live in this perverse world and it's all crap. I'd rather be with the friends again but it's a hard and embarrassing road back. I'm always encouraged by my family and some friends. They are great people just trying to do good. The money the organization makes is not spent personally by any of the members what so ever. It's to build and build and build local "congregations" throughout the entire world. It's the only religion to gain and gain and gain more followers every year. You can visit the headquarters in Brooklyn NY and ask to tour the place. You'll immediately feel welcomed, respected, treated completely different than anywhere you've ever been on earth. Trust me, I've been there. I've eaten from the table of good and evil and I recommend everyone take a free bible lesson and adapt the way these people live. It's healthy, it's moral, it's beautiful.

    • @curtisrodriguez938
      @curtisrodriguez938 10 лет назад +2

      Eric4director- Are you now outside the Watchtower society? Have you discontinued studying Holy Scripture. If you have, I would encourage you to resume. As you study the Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit will open your eyes and heart and understanding in ways that would surprise you.
      I myself, after witnessing to another, accepted an invitation to study the Bible. After scrutinizing what the Watchtower Society says, I have found that that there are some seriously false doctrines. One doctrine may be more politically motivated while another is more manipulative. Many doctrines are in agreement with mainstream Christianity.
      I don't know anything about how the Watchtower spends the money it takes in. I have heard recently that it has been broken into three corporations instead of the one. That's about it for Watchtower Society finances.
      That being said, I do not doubt the sincerity of the membership nor do I doubt their love of God. I do have serious about the leadership.
      I will leave you with this one thought: There are many people outside of the Jehovah's Witnesses who live moral, healthy and beautiful lives.

    Let me start by saying I'm not a witness. But the witnesses over the years have made progress in more biblical teachings more so than any other Church. There are churches that have made mistakes doctrinal mistakes over the years and continue to teach that false Doctrine. What the witness organization nowadays it's totally different than at the beginning stages. I studied with the Witnesses in the past and gone too many other churches and no matter what I always go back to the witnesses because they have more truth and their beliefs than any other Church.

    My mom is a JW apologist and doesn't even grasp their duplicity. I have brought up the history of the jws to her, along with the problems with the ideology and theology of the cult. She then asked the elders and their answer was that Charles t. Russel was still learning. That it is proof of Jehovah's divine plan that the witnesses are so willing to adapt to the "new light." They don't see it as them saying God got anything wrong, or that the governing body is admitting that God gave them incomplete or false information. It floors me that people can speak out of both sides of their mouths and are blind to their own ignorance.

    In any preface of the NIV or KJV of the bible it says that the tetragrammaton (YHWH & JHVH, in which Aramaic and Hebrew was written without vowels and was the only two languages written in the old testament), was taken out and replaced with upper case "LORD". His name was considered too sacred to speak. Jesus is referred to as "Lord", with only one capital letter. For those who have true faith and can understand, read your bible and see the difference for yourself. To omit the author's name out of his own book is blasphemous. Gods name is mentioned more than 7,000 times in the bible, and for a reason. Let this blasphemous character arousing argument ask you to look up words in languages that have changed over 1,000s of years and yes, you very well may not get the same word in current Greek or current Hebrew or Aramaic. Study the original languages and translate them for yourself. There are words in English that don't even have the same meaning it had from 10 years prior so what gives anybody the logical thinking that any of the three languages that the bible was written in share the same exact meanings it did over 2000 years ago. Jesus said, "the father is greater than I", he couldn't tell James and Johns mother who would sit on his right and left hand of the throne after his ressurection because only the father knew. Answer this simple question, any Trinitarian, if Jesus is God, who was he praying so fervently to? Who did he ask repeatedly, "if it is your will, take this cup away from me" before being arrested? Himself? Jesus prayed to himself? The Son of Man, God's "only begotten"(blood related)SON, is God? Logically, does that even make since? I was raised Roman Catholic by one parent and Baptist by the other and it didn't make sense then. If my father created something extravagant for only those he has only confided in me to allow in by their actions, and he isn't physically here, I would tell them I built it? No, I would say just as Jesus said, "no man shall enter but me." God has a name, God is a title, like your boss and your husband and wife. To have a close relationship with someone, do you speak to them in that manner? "Hey wife, come here, I need to speak to you." "Hey, this is my wife." No, she has a name. "Hey Julie, come here, I need to speak to you." "Hey, this my wife, Julie." How can you claim to know God when you don't even know his name? Even your bible tells you before it begins that they created blasphemy by omitting our creators name. There is one true religion, students when learning make mistakes, as all humans do. Guess what? After a while those students learn from their mistakes and become professionals. Russel began as a student and made mistakes. Genuine bible enlightenment pursuers committed themselves to translating, not revising, the foreign languages of the bible of old to new. If you don't even know God's name, how do you expect to be accepted? Your relationship is formal to him, at very best. Read the bible everyday, that's the encouragement of the elders so YOU understand, not fed it to you by Fathers and Pastors or whoever they call themselves in your church who you feel obligated to listen to. The proof is in studying, not reading, listening, not hearing, the message Jahovah of Armies has for you to save yourself. In Jesus's glorious name I give you supplication, Father Jahovah, that people will take the initiative to know the truth.They spoke ill of Jesus! Jesus said we will be objects of hatred because of his name, now who is hated more in the Christian denomination than Jehovah's Witnesses? The proof is right here staring you in the face on RUclips. I see nothing but hatred towards his beloved sheep. But we are the true believers. You can hurt other religions and you will soon turn to harm us for the truth we profess, the bible says,"for he that is touching you is touching my eyeball." What happens when your eyeball is irritated? It's an outomatic reaction to eradicate whatever it is that's doing so. Not us, we're peaceful people, don't vote or bear arms for was as we have no dealing with this system of things. When you pray the Lord's prayer, remember what you're praying for. For his will to be done on EARTH as it is in heaven. The meek will inherit the earth, Psalms says. Don't let these antichrists like the producer of this video lead Jahovahs sheep astray, as when he sees you coming to him, he will hold the rest of his sheep to wait and come get you, that's the amount of love he has for you. That's what the holy scriptures says. I hope great fortune that you will understand as Satan has blinded and deafened the unbelievers. It's nothing to debate about, you can accept him or reject him but when that time comes you WILL respect him. And according to Jesus's prophecy, it's not too far away. Thanks for reading, I did so so that you may feel inclined to accept him as I get nothing out of this. I do it out of brotherly love, spiritual sisters and brothers. I'm a student, not a baptized Jahovahs witness who any cynics can try to suspect or accuse of having ulterior motives. And when I am baptized, I seek nothing but to help anyone answer questions that they may need help with, as long as you can accept that the answer will be from the bible. Thanks again for reading, and thank the publisher of this false understanding of our Christian beliefs for creating a place to listen to each other and give you the opportunity to leave with what your heart is telling you at the end of it.

    I remember getting into an accident on my job which I was practically crushed by 3000lbs and needed a blood transfusion, however I wouldn’t accept it so several Elders came to visit me in critical condition saying their last goodbyes, thankfully a loving Italian Elder told me that “ You just got married, you just got baptized and you have small kids “ I can’t say with a sincere tongue that I would do that and leave my family behind, but may Yah bless ur decision, When he left I thought seriously about what he was saying and within 4 hours later I asked for the transfusion and was back upstairs with 6 hours back to health, Im so glad I decided too , Imagine how I feel listening to this , knowing that Charles taze Russel , literally said that black ppl are gonna go back to being white? This man was actually a racist and I almost died listening to this wicked man ?
