My conversation with two Jehovah Witnesses today did not go as they had planned & why you should avoid them

I had to share this with you because it's implications are far reaching to 8 million people wasting their lives.

Anyways, I left two ladies scratching their heads and it proved to me that the Jehovah Witnesses know nothing about the Bible despite their claim. Indeed, after this latest attempt to give me their literature, I dare do declare they are a cult. Here's why.

This morning at about 10:00 my door bell rang. Today, my only day off from work were I can relax and enjoy a nice long breakfast with my young daughter. But better than a Sunday or Saturday.

So I already had the feeling it was the Jehovah Witnesses because they come to our block every 2 months and nobody comes here in my little village to ring the bell.

I open the door, and immediately an old woman begins with her pre-programmed introduction, like sales people.

I say, "stop right there. Are you here to give me your literature, convert me to your religion or talk about the Bible?"

She says, "We want to talk about the Bible, but we want to talk about what the Bible really teaches from this magazine....." She opens her magazine.

I say, "stop, I don't need to look at that. I want to talk about the Bible. I love the Bible..."

She says, "great! But maybe we can come back another time."

I say, "why? I'm ready now?" [I called her bluff.] "I would like to discuss a scripture in Matthew, 24:34. Do you know it?"

She say, "I'm sure I read it. What does it say? We can read it from your bible if you like."

I say, "no, let's read your Bible for this one example. I have a collection of Bibles so I know what they all say."

She opens the Bible and read it out loud, "This generation will by no means pass away until all these things...."

I say "stop. Do you see what it says? Jesus said very specifically, "this generation." He did not say there would be multiple, or as your newest doctrine says, "overlapping generations." And for this reason I simply have to reject everything else you teach as false."

She say, "yes well, we received new light from Jehovah's organization about this and if you study it, it makes sense using the Hebrew scriptures that what Jesus really meant was "overlapping generations...." [She continues to mumble on.]

I say, "Do you even hear your self? You are attempting to put words in Jesus mouth that he did not say. He clearly, and it does not matter which translation you use, it says, THIS generation, as in singular. There is no way to change it. However, since my sister was a Jehovah Witness, I know about the problem here. The problem goes back 100 years to the time of Russel, who used the Pyramids to measure how long from the time of Jerusalem's destruction to the return of Jesus would take, and his fatal flaw was coming to 607 BCE as the year Jeruslaem was destroyed. It wasn't and if you do not know what I am talking about then it is clear you need to start researching. So, he took 607 BCE and arrived at 1914 for "this generation," but all those people died already and your leaders started to panic. What you also probably do not know is that your religion changed this teaching 5 times since 1960. Is that "new light" which gets brighter or is that simply men who are covering up their own mistakes? Let me be clear- they changed "this generation" teaching to mean "overlapping" generations so they bought themselves unlimited time for when the end of the world doesn't happen. They certainly cannot go back and undo their 1914 teaching! That would mean everything up until now was and still is WRONG. Do you see the problem?"

She says, "this is a long topic to talk about at the door. Maybe you would like a Bible study with a man from our congregation and he can discuss this better..."

I said, "I would enjoy that but you came to MY door, claiming to have the TRUE religion, and you represent that religion, so you should know your own history, no? Do you have the true religion?"

She says, "yes, of course otherwise I wouldn't be here."

I say "ok then you claim to have the Truth, the only truth, so can you say that I do not have a personal relationship with Jesus when I claim I do?"

She says, "well you have to know his name first and his name is Jehovah."

I say, "I knew you would say that but unfortunately, the name "Jehovah" was created by a 13th century Spanish Catholic monk, a religion you claim to be Babylon the Great! How ironic that your religion that claims the name Jehovah as true, and condemns the Catholic church as the most evil church on earth, literally from Satan, would take this name which means that Jehovah revealed his name to Satan's church. Do you see the logic fail here?"

She says "Well I didn't know about that but I know that the Teatragrammaton has the letters YHWH...."

I say to the young girl standing behind here, "look it up please on the internet..."

She says, "no don't, we get our information from our organization and that's it. Jehovah doesn't care how you pronounce his name or if a Spanish monk created it."

I say, "Oh really? How then are you supposed to sanctify and glorify his holy name if you don't even know what it is? Furthermore, part of the problem why you live in a closed circle is because you are afraid to do outside research because it might just wake you up and shake your faith in "the truth."

She says, "look I have this magazine entitled...."

I say "stop. I thought we are discussing the Bible? We don't need man made literature. We just need the Bible. I want to ask you ONE more Bible scripture in Matthew 28:19. Do you know that one?"

She says, "oh yes, very well. It says 'Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the holy spirit".

I say, "ok very good that you know that verse, as most Jehoavh Witnesses have probably remembered also but do you fully understand what it says there? When you get baptized in water, what do they recite?

Say says, "what the scripture says there..."

I say, "are you certain about that. There are two question they ask. Do you know them?" I ask the young girl, "are you baptized?"

She says "yes."

I pull out my phone with a copy my sister gave me of the two baptism questions they ask and I read it,

"On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?"

They both shake their heads in agreement, nodding yes.

I continue, "Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization? Having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition to undergo Christian baptism."

Did you catch that? Did you see how you are dedicated to an organization and NOT the spirit of God? That goes against what it says in the Bible."

She says, "listen we have to go. I still want to leave this magazine with you. So if you like you can have it and I'll have another brother come and talk to you more."

That was it. They left, I wished them a nice day, but I could see that they were very bothered by these question I literally took from the Bible. As they were walking away, the young girl took out her phone and started to say something I could not understand but it looked like she was still looking up about the name Jehovah and wanted to know more while the old lady push it away as if to say put it away.

In conclusion, using logic and reasoning, something Jehovah Witneses claim to have but clearly do not, you can literally destroy their entire belief system with just two verses, that I randomly pulled from memory. The similarities to Jehovah Witnesses and the ever changing political left (or what you call in America, the Democrats) is astounding. Both groups are thoroughly brainwashed. Confirmation bias is their only education combined with a very strong case of cognitive dissonance. There is NO LOGIC and certainly NO REASONING with them, which is why you will see many people "taking the red pill" and waking up to their follies but nobody ever goes back. The only Jehovah Witnesses that rejoin are those who feel under pressure to do so so they can associate with their family who is most likely shunning them.

For full disclosure, I am an atheist. I was born in the USA but we moved to Germany when I was a small child. I teach my daughter that the best way to live is the way that is ascribed to Marcus Aurellius, who said to live a good life and be a good person and whoever is up there or not up there, you will either be judge by a loving God who judges you by your ACTIONS or in the case of nobody being up there, you will be remembered by your friends and family as a good loving person. That is the only way to live in my opinion.
