Any true Christian or Jew is a "Jehovas witness". It's not decided by men, definitely not the JW. Their company compromised

Not even close. God is very patient! The JH club is a farce, a cult and very dangerous. No better than the mormons or any other corporate church. Gods true church is in the hearts of men. He knows who we are and where we are.

Letting children die because they wont be given a blood transfusion?

Why should anyone want to be a part of that?

The reason the organization never claimed to know when the end of Satan's reign of terror will happen is this simple;
"Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken along and the other be abandoned; 41 two women will be grinding at the hand mill: one will be taken along and the other be abandoned. 42 Keep on the watch, therefore, because YOU do not know on what day YOUR Lord is coming.
43 “But know one thing, that if the householder had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 On this account YOU too prove yourselves ready, because at an hour that YOU do not think to be it, the Son of man is coming."

 Quoting: DGN


One thing is absolutely certain, Bible chronology reinforced with fulfilled Bible prophecy shows that six thousand years of man's existence will soon be up, yes, within this generation! (Matt. 24:34) This is, therefore, no time to be indifferent and complacent. This is not the time to be toying with the words of Jesus that "concerning that day and hour nobody knows , neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matt. 24:36)
Watchtower 1968 Aug 15 p.494 Why Are You Looking Forward to 1975?

"If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. Of the generation that observed the beginning of the 'last days' in 1914, Jesus foretold: 'This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.' Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way towards its finish, if not actually gone! This is why parents who base their lives on God's prophetic Word find it much more practical to direct their young ones into trades that do not require such long periods of additional schooling.. True, those who do not understand where we are in the stream of time from God's viewpoint will call this impractical. But which is really practical: preparing yourself for a position in this world that soon will pass away? or working toward surviving this system's end and enjoying eternal life in God's righteous new order?" {AWAKE May 22 1969 15}

The generation of 1914 has passed away and the young person of the time is growing old, and the high school student who will never fulfill any career are either retired, or very close to retiring.

They most certainly did make a prediction, credited it to Jehovah, and were wrong. That is a false prophet.

 Quoting: CelestialMaiden


I'm sorry you feel that way. I've seen no scripture answering my question and no logic to it. If that's ridicule, then I guess a lack of answer is it's own answer.

Matthew 15:9 says, But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Without a scripture, I see it as commandments of men. Thank you for your time.
 Quoting: Nine's


(You have been provided with so many scriptures, on so many threads for so long, why don't YOU provide scriptures, teaching us the proper way to worship rather than dig up videos, and court cases that took place in the 1800's and every nick nack of trash you can find against the organization)
 Quoting: CelestialMaiden


Likely it was posted to refute something that was claimed to be true, but wasn't. If it's trash, you'll have to discuss that matter with the people at the head of your organization. Wasn't me that created the "trash".

Believing is only a start, exercising that faith requires more than lip service



"“For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.- John 3:16
 Quoting: CelestialMaiden


And that's why I can't take JW seriously. Joining an organisation doesn't bring you closer to the lord.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14475689

That's right and you can't join anyway, baptism requires a minimum one year of study in two different study aids and passing a one hundred question interview to measure the candidates knowledge and devotion.
 Quoting: DGN

Sounds more like a church ritual than a baptism. Where is that located in the Bible?

If I am a Jehovah's witness I am not allowed to have a beard, why not?

Would you guys reject Jesus when he comes back if he has a beard?

also still waiting for answer to my question why should I become a jehovah's witness and let my children die because they cannot get a blood transfusion?

Would you be willing to say they are wrong in this respect? Why not?

I watched that video, pathetically produced, it only talks about pre-planned procedures.

Again,

I or my family are victims of major trauma, say a Motor vehicle accident - as per the doctors in the ER only chance of survival is a blood transfusion immediately

What would happen to me if I choose to save my family church wise? would I be disfellowshipped?

Would I no longer be saved?

The governing body was wrong about 1975, could they be wrong about this? yes or no?

If a person knows what the Bible says about blood, they will make their own Bible based decisions about medical procedure's and not try to shift the blame onto someone else, rather, take the matter up with God, it is HIS words

Just because the medical field says blood is the only answer to emergencies, it shows how little educated some are as there are many other alternatives to blood,and have proven successful many times

Do some research on it.....before you caste your judgements

The Judgement YOU cast letting people DIE is a lot more final than anything I can say or do.

if I can save one person from joining a heretical anti biblical cult and perhaps even dying, it's worth it.

You are shifting the blame onto God, when he said no such thing, in fact the opposite:
[link to www.biblesabbath.org]
Because Jesus performed miracles of healing on the Sabbath, some Pharisees accused Him of breaking the Sabbath (Matthew 12:10; Mark 3:2, John 9:14-16). John records that Jesus performed a healing during one of the festivals in Jerusalem. John's gospel records what happened next, when Jesus confronted His accusers: "Jesus answered them, 'My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.' Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God" (John 5:17-18).

What would you say if the governing body reversed its position on blood transfusions?

Think it cant happen? they've done it before with other medical procedures.

"Shifting the blame to God? He is the Creator and has say as to how blood is to be used, and he makes that quite clear in the scriptures




}8 For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to YOU, except these necessary things, 29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. If YOU carefully keep yourselves from these things, YOU will prosper. Good health to YOU!”-Acts 15:28,29

Believing is only a start, exercising that faith requires more than lip service

One of my favorite points whenever someone gets hooked on the C.T.R. and Pyramid blah, just point them to his modern day followers.. Of course, for anyone of intelligence, the christian "renaissance" at the turn of the last century had more with the.. "occult" references to do than anything C.T. ever came up with.

JWs are yet without blemish in my books.

Save your arguments JW haters, I know them all. Heck, I even tried to find crap on them myself for over 25 years now. I had hoped in finding one good reason to scratch them from my list of candidate organisations that follow YHWH and his son. Now they're the only ones left on the list, lol.

Re: If Jehovah's Witnesses sent bible lessons to Martians over radio would they listen? See video.
Christ told us a thousand years. what do you think a civilization can accomplish in 1000 years or even 2000 years. the answer is look around, you are living in it.

Then there are the "martians" which highly likely are not organic like we think. Imagine their kingdom, "without an end"

Do you think that the civilization that is only 2000 years old, needs to preach to an army without an end?

the answer is hogwash.

If Jesus was "taken up" as well as Prophets. Do you not think he(Jesus) would have already told "them"

Jesus left us with two commands. #1 Love thy God with all your heart. #2 Love thy neighbor with all your heart.

Christ left us with one final order, which many "Christians" disobey.

#3 To become like children, Eyes and Ears Only.

Preaching to the Stars is a fruitless objective.

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature"
Mark 16:15
