Quoting: CelestialMaiden "The righteous themselves will possess the earth and they will reside forever upon it"- Psalms 37:29 YEAH...now THAT is a doomsday message we preach!! OP - What is an alleged JW in good standing doing on a "worldly site"? yeah, standards are expected to be higher for JW's than for you, huh? I stand in judgment of no man. However, OP claims to be a JW and the Society is very clear about not being on one of these sites. You also cannot count this as "time" for field service reports. So again, my question.

And what do you think of them? jehvahs are a cult otherwise they wouldnt forbid their followers to talk to'outsiders'. these people are born sheep, they have the follow mentality and are learned not to think. its like a disease which inflicts their brain. god, jesus no suprise to see at which state humanity is in with all the stupidity. worst is, it is proven their cult is created by a mason but they still want to keep following it. most of them are good people though, i think. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37351291 Yeah blame all the world problem on JW's. eve though there are NONE in Government ANYWHERE on the planet. BTW, you re listening to dis-info from someone, because you have your facts twisted about. Otherwise maybe you are good people....i think. I personally don't blame JW's for anything about the world. They are my brothers and sisters from the beginning and I know who is in control of this world of the valley of death. And it is not the JW's that are in control at all. One thing I do like about the JW's is that they try to tell as best as they can and do try to get people to read the Word. The elder that talked to me about 4 weeks ago said to my brother and myself that we were the first Christians other than the JW's to really know the Word. Well I know it by heart from cover to cover. And yet I still learn from the "hidden manna" daily. The JW's will NOT be one of the 7000 spoken of in Romans 11:4. Why? Because they will NOT step up at all. When Satan does come, they will go into hiding and lay low. But God has chosen those "princes" as it is written in the old testie that God has chosen before the foundation of this earth age to stand eyeball to eyeball with Satan and REVEAL HIM to the 144,000 first then to the World. All biblically truth. Yet few are even taught this. So....to quote you...("I know it (BIBLE) by heart cover to cover")-commendable- for very few, if any can claim they know the Bible, by heart, cover to cover. That being the case, then you would know that Romans 11:4... Paul was directly quoting from 1 Kings 19:18...where God assures Elijah, (who feared that he was the only one left wanting to serve Jehovah).....God said to Elijah: "I have let 7,000 remain in Israel, all the knees that have not bent down to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him"- 1 Kings 19:18 He said this to assure Elijah that he wasn't alone (and your point with all this?) |

And what do you think of them? 1) Most are incredibly nice folks, more so than other religions that I've known 2) The watchtower is a manipulative and controlling organization. Witnesses cannot have their own views of the bible, all interpretation must come through the watchtower. 3) They ignore their past prophecies and say they never made them. And in rare cases where they they admit to something, they say it was a misinterpretation... In that case all "false prophets" are misinterpretations. 4) Their bible (all bibles, actually) is not the word of god. They just ignore what Constantine did. 5) There are errors (I mean, how can you get God's name wrong in translation - it's not Jehovah, it's YHWH - Yahweh) in their interpretation, yet they ignore it. 6) Brother Charles Taze Russell - let's just ignore all that he believed in, shall we? |

And what do you think of them? ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37351209 Why are you taking that out of context? And why do you lack the courage to address it to me personally? That referred to the self-righteous pharisees of Yeshua's day who didn't actually keep the law, only liked to be seen keeping it. I suppose according to your twisted logic, the Messiah and all the Apostles were Pharisees for teaching the law and the covenant. Did you forget about these ones? Matthew 7:21-23 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ 1 John 2:4-6 King James Version (KJV) 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 1 John 3:4 King James Version (KJV) 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. There is only one law and that is the law of Moses. The usual drivel from the luke-warm rebellious, apostate, lawless, anti-Christ Laodecians. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:15-16 as they are self righteous even now all the more so. No, I am Righteous because I keep and teach the Commands of the Father unlike some. You obviously are not born-again of the Spirit above because you are obviously not one of the Elect and are just among the majority of deceived for if you truly had the Spirit, you would not be stuck in Mystery Babylon, modern-day Christianity, a religion that Yeshua had no part in, it is fashioned after the words of the false Prophet Saul who never even met Yeshua. Repent or burn for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Hey, can you answer my question on Rev. 2 and 3 verses REv. 2:9 and Rev. 3:9... Who are those that claim to be Jews but are not. Who are they? Those verses are spoken to first century Jews who held fast that they were righteous because of their fleshly descent, yet they had rejected Jesus Christ. Any chance they had of being part of Gods Heavenly Kingdom (hence the 144,000)...was gone when they rejected the Messiah. Being a fleshly Jew no longer meant a privileged... standing with God....God would now choose others, who were not fleshly Jews to make up the 144.000 "For he is not a Jew who is one on the outside, nor is circumcision that which is on the outside upon the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one on the inside, and his circumcision is that of the heart by spirit, and not by a written code. The praise of that one comes, not from men, but from God"- Romans 2:28,29 |

And what do you think of them? CT Russel really didnt have a clue did he? Read these things he wrote. 1889 "Here we furnish the evidence that from the creation of Adam to (but not including) A.D. 1873 was six thousand years. And though the Bible contains no direct statement that the seventh thousand will be the epoch of Christ's reign, the great Sabbath Day of restitution to the world, yet the venerable tradition is not without a reasonable foundation." (Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 2, p. 39. 1889) 1889 "If, then, the seventh thousand-year period of earth's history be an epoch specially noted as the period of Christ's reign, we shall by showing that it began in 1873, be proving that we are already in it." (Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 2, p. 40. 1889) 1889 "In the coming 26 years, all present governments will be overthrown and dissolved." (C.T. Russell, Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 2, p. 98-99, 1889) 1889 "In this chapter we present the Bible evidence which indicates that six thousand years from the creation of Adam were complete with A.D. 1872; and hence that, since A.D. 1872 are chronologically entered upon the seventh thousand or the Millennium." (Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 2, p. 33, 1889) |

And what do you think of them? I have a Jehovahs Witness friend and I like those people. I particularly like the fact that if a war starts they take no sides. It is a sure sign that they are heeding the words of Christ. "My Kingdom is not of this World" For which Kingdom can you fight if your Kingdom is not of this world. I can not fault the Jehovahs witnesses in any way there. My only problem with them is that they cannot see that Jesus is Lord(God). Jesus is not Michael the archangel he is the creator and the Alpha and Omega. |

And what do you think of them? The JWs say that all human government is warlike, corrupt, and subject to satanic idolatry... always has been and always will be. Only God can govern humanity. But what about the Tower of Babel? Here the whole earth was united in one Great Work. We were doing our part! It was God who botched it for us, fearing that we might become "able to accomplish anything." Thanks God! But, all the same, there is an example of a human government that worked and unified all of humanity in peace. The leader was Nimrod. Genesis 10:9 says he was "a mighty hunter before the Lord." You'll find it that way in most Bibles, EXCEPT in the JW Bible, where it says "A mighty hunter opposed to the Lord." Only a few pages into the Bible, and already the JW translation shows evidence of tampering for the sake of their political agenda. The word "before" in Hebrew is "liphneh" and is used dozens of times in Scripture to mean "in front of" as in the computer screen is "before" you right now. The JW organization claims this was translated in such a way due to Josephus (obviously not a contemporary of Nimrod, and certainly NOT the Bible) and due to people going "before" Moses with grumblings. Indeed! Get wise, people. The JWs put their cart before their horse. |
