QUESTIONS THAT CAN BRING JEHOVAH WITNESSES TO JESUS FOR SALVATION.
It is note worthy that Watchtower Society is one of the best Organized religion on earth like the Catholic Church but that does not qualified it to be the Truth and God’s Organization. That would be amounted to Grandiosity and impersonating of Jesus, who is the only Way, the Truth and Life(John 14:6)
God created people as free moral agent with ability to choose one form of worship or the other. It is ironic that a religion organization that fought for freedom of worship is denying it members the same freedom of worship. Many people left their former religion and join the Watchtower Organization, they are not labeled an Apostate until they decide to find another religion and left. About 80% of their members are Apostate based on the Watchtower interpretation. They are not Apostate when they join but they became Apostate when they left. What a double standard?
“Why Question Religion?
Suppose you need to have surgery for a life-threatening illness. You would want to have the utmost confidence in the surgeon, since your life will be in his hands. Would it not be prudent to review his record of experience?
Similarly, it is wise to examine religion carefully. If you belong to a religious organization, you are, in effect, putting your spiritual life in its hands. This includes your prospects for salvation.” WATCHTOWER. “The Watchtower (2013), July 1, 2013.”
If you are one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and feel guilty researching the Organization or reading other religion publications, consider the following Watchtower article. “It is important, then, that you “keep testing whether you are in the faith,” as Paul declared. Keep checking to see whether the things you believe are in keeping with God’s Word.
But the question is, Are you willing to put your religion through such a test? There is nothing to fear, because if you have the right religion you can only be reassured by the examination.
And if what you believe is not in keeping with the Bible, then you should welcome the truth, because it leads to light and life.” Watchtower 1958 May 1 p.261 Is Your Religion the Right One?
Apostle John advice to Test the Inspired Expression
Xxx
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Xxxx
This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood
. (1 John 4:1-2, 6 NIV)
Why did your religion forbid their members from test their teaching from the Bible?
Anyone who read from other religion publication will be dis-fellowshipped. Only the Writing Department can read and quote from other sources.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.(Hebrew 13:8-9)
Plato once said, it is normal for a child to be afraid of light,but the tragedy is when men are dreadful of light.
Based on the above advice, the following critical thinking questions must be answered by the Watchtower organization’s disciples before they can come to Jesus for salvation.
PART A:
1- Based on the July 1,2013 Watchtower Magazine, what have you learn about the
history of the Watchtower Organization and it’s prophesies about the end of
the world? How do you investigate the Watchtower Society?
2- Would you have confidence in a surgeon that always commit errors during
operation but be willing to correct his/her mistake maybe five Years Later?
Many Members of Watchtower Organization sold their businesses, their homes,
Forgone child bearing and schooling because the organization told them that the world would come to an end in 1975. And they donate their money to the society.
3- What compensation did the society offered them when their prophesy failed to
materialized?
4- Where we’re those donations invested? Do you know how much they are? Do

7- How do you check the Society Bible and other books quotations to know
whether they are quoted out of context?
8- Did the Watchtower organization or it’s members perform any powerful works to
show that they receive Holy Spirit Like Early Christians?
God, Holy Spirit, Angels,and all early Christians bear witness to Jesus,
while Jesus in turn bear witness to his father.
Read the following Scriptures
(1 John 5:9-11, Matthew 3:17)(John 15:26-27, John 16:12-14)
(Revelation 19:10′. Revelation 22:16)(Act 10:38-43) (Acts 1:8 , Act 2:32 ,
Act 3: 15, Act 4: 33, I Corinthian 15:1-5 )
9- Whose Witnesses are early Christians ? Whom does the Angels in Heaven bear
witness in Rev. 19:10? Whose witness should YOU be?
10- Read Act 4:12 , whose name shall anyone Be SaFE?
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” (John 14:6, 7 NIV)
11-Who is the way to the father and who is the father ? Jesus and His father are
how many? Read ( John 14: 9-10)
12- Who did Jesus send to his disciple to be their Helper and teacher?
“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:26 NIV)
13- Can anyone who REJECT the Holy Spirit as their Teacher but follows humans
organization and believe their uninspired literatures more than the Bible, can they be
rightly called a Christian?
14- Can anyone who REJECT Jesus body and Blood by disregarding his
commands in John 6:51-57 be rightly call a Christian?
15- Is the Watchtower organization more credible than Jesus?
16- Why Is it a grandiosity for anyone or an organization to put herself in position of
Jesus Christ and call herself the TRUTH And the Only way to salvation?
17- why is it an act of Idolatry to worship and follow religion organization blindly?
18- TO WHOM SHALL YOU GO after leaving a printing corporation or a religion?
Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. (John 6:68 NIV)
19- Which word Did Peter use, WHERE shall we go or TO WhOM SHALL WE GO?
“This is why I speak to them by the use of illustrations, because, looking, they look in vain, and hearing, they hear in vain, neither do they get the sense of it;
“(Mathew 13:13).
20- In Mathew 24:45 and Mathew 25:19-20 Jesus gave an illustration and a parable
of a faithful servant, why did Pastor Russell and now the Governing Body is
claiming to be faithful servant? Is it talking of one servant or a group of people?
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6) But your organization says,
“Come to Jehovah’s organization for salvation” – Watchtower 1981 Nov 15 p.212
21- Why do your religion is liking itself to be the Ark of Noah and that without it no
one can be safe, therefore, replacing Jesus as the only way, the truth and life?
(John 10:7-9)
22- MY FRIEND IF YOU WANT SALVATION TO WHOM SHALL YOU COME?
A MAN MADE ORGANIZATION CAN NOT GIVE YOU LIFE.
ONLY JESUS CAN
YOU MUST COME TO JESUS FOR SALVATION.
PART B:
1-You belief that you have monopoly of true religion and your Watchtower
Organization is God,s organization on Earth.
Your organization was incorporated in Pennsylvania in the 1879 AD.
When was Jewish System of worship was destroyed in Jerusalem ?
Is it in 70 AD?
Which organization was God using for the period of 1,807 years before your
religion was founded by Pastor Russell?
2- What year in your History did God appoint your Printing Corporation to be his
only Organization on Earth? Is it in 1914,1919, 1925, or is it in 1975?
The Watchtower of April 1,1972 your organization published an article with the
Headline “The Nations Shall Know that A PROPHET was among them” The
article identify your organization as the prophet. Your religion have prophesy
that the world would come to an end in 1914′ 1919′ 1925, 1975 and all these
prophesies have failed.
3- Why was none of those prophecies come to pass if it is true that your’e a True
Prophets?
4- How many lies can one tell before one can be called a liar?
5- what does God say in Deuteronomy 18:20-22 and Jeremiah 14:14?
6- Which religion today claim to be the Truth, and God,s Organization?
what did Jesus say in John 10: 7-8 and in Mathew 24:23-26 about them?
BLOOD:
In Leviticus 7:26-27 God says,”And YOU must not eat any blood in any places where YOU dwell, whether that of fowl or that of beast. 27 Any soul who eats any blood, that soul must be cut off from his people.’” Act 15:29
7- How does God punish people who violates his laws on eating of blood in
Leviticus 17:15?
As for any soul that eats a body [already] dead or something torn by a wild beast,
whether a native or an alien resident, he must in that case wash his garments and
bathe in water and be unclean until the evening; and he must be clean.
8- Can you show me from the Bible where God forbid blood transfusion?
9- The Bible says that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow
If your organization is the Truth, while is their truth keep on changing?
10- Read ( 2 Timothy 3:15-17). The Bible is sufficient for Timothy and all Christians
For salvation. Why do you have so many publications beside the Bible?
11- Read 2 John 2: 6 and then asked, Is Watchtower publications an inspired
of expression of truth or an inspired expression of errors?
12- You say being in your religion is being in the truth, Why is your Truth changes
With time?
13- For example, your organization changes their truth all the time on meaning of
1914 generation, in your Watchtower 1914 the Generation that Will Not Pass
Away was published. But today the new light has extinguished the old light.
14- Read Hebrew 13:8- 9
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.
9 Do not be carried away with various and strange teachings; for it is fine for the
heart to be given firmness by undeserved kindness, not by eatables, by which
those who occupy themselves with them have not been benefited.
If Jesus is the Head of Jehovah Organization and is the one directing Jehovah
Organization, why was their teaching always changing?
Mark of Jesus Followers
15- Read Mark 16:17
Jehovah God gave all his prophets spiritual power and their prophesies always
come to pass.
From Adam who named all the animals based on their
characteristic to Apostle John.
Why is your own different if you’re actually the only true religion on earth?
17- Read 1 Corinthian 12:3. How do you understand this passage does this
passage apply to all Christians or to only Jehovah Witnesses?
Blood transfusion.
Can you show me in the Bible where God forbid blood
transfusion?
18- Why is your religion punishing members for accepting blood transfusion or
forcing members not to accept blood to safe the lives of their loved once?
19- Read Leviticus 17:15. What is Gods punishment for eating blood?
20- I learnt that for many years your organization consider organ transplant( Kidney,
Liver and a new heart) as carnibalism but later reverses itself. How do you
compensate those who have died following your doctrine?
21- Even though that the Bible did not mention blood transfusion in the Bible, just
as the word Trinity was not mentioned in the Bible. However your religion have
Forced your members to refuse blood transfusion. Accepting blood means
disfellowship.
And as result, many have been sent to their early graves, what happens when
the new light, lit-up and you discover that you’ve been wrong for so long can
God hold you responsible and charge your religion leaders for murder?
22- How do you treat a member who accept blood transfusion because he prefer
to safe his own life rather than die?
23- Is it true that your member can now accept a fraction of blood, If the whole
blood = red blood + white blood + platelet. What is a fraction of blood?
Is it a fraction of red blood/ (over )platelet and white blood or what?
It sound to me like chicken is forbidding but you can eat the thigh. A critical thinking person will know that eating the chicken thigh is as good as eating the whole chicken.
The New Light put out the old Light.
24- From 1879 in the early history of Watchtower Society To 1919 . They use to
celebrate all holidays, like ChristMass, Birthdays, Easters, Halloween and some
are practicing Polygamy.
What happens to majority of these people who have died before the new light shown In 1919 particularly those anointed class like Pastor Russell who died in 1916?
25- In 1919 Your organization claimed that Jesus inspected them and appointed
them to to give the food to the flock at the appropriate time based on Matthew
24:45. Is this true?
26- Why would Christ appoint someone who have been feeding his sheep with
rotten spiritual food for 40 years such as, celebrating pagan holidays to such a
noble responsibility ?
Read Matthew 24:45 and Mathew 25 :19 these two chapters are the same topic of a master traveling and appointing a steward to oversees bis belonging
27- Do you think that this is PARABLE OR AN ILLUSTRATION or a prophesy?
How many person was talking about here? Why was Pastor Russell applied
this to himself and later changed to the Governing Body?
28- If you say this a prophesy by Jesus that means all his illustration and parable are prophesies, such as prodigal son, unforgiven slaves, and the sowers
of seeds?
29- Which organization was Jehovah using after Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD to 1889 before Watchtower Society was incorporated?
Does Jesus not care for his people for almost 2000 years?
HOLY SPIRIT
The Watchtower Society teaches that the Holy Spirit is an active force that is used as tools to accomplish God’s work.
30- How many HoLy SPIRIT DO WE HAVE?
For example Read the following Bible
It is used as a an active force Genesis 1:1
Holy Sprit as a teacher . John 14:16,26
As a director of Philip. Act 8: 29, 39
As an intercession for Christian 2 Corinthian 13:14 Roman 8:26
Holy Spirit can have fellowship Philippians 2:1
Holy Spirit As a God John 4: 24
31- You agreed that HOLY SPIRIT is one,, How can an impersonal active force can
do all the above?
32- Read John 4:24 again, if God is a Spirit and the Sprit is God how do you
understand the nature of God and nature of Holy Spirit?
33- if now you know that Holy Spirit is so versatile, that is it can serve many
purpose and play many roles and serve as God, do you think that Holy Spirit
Can help people that don’t have faith in Him?
34- Read 1Corinthians 12:3 again . If Holy Spirit or God approve people who says
Jesus is The Lord as true Christians, do you also approve of them as true
Christians even though they did not belong to organization? If not, Why Not?
35- Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. And 1 Corinthians 14:1-2. Why would Apostle Paul
advice Christians to seek spiritual gifts if it true that they have been ceased and
that Love is all you need?
The last days
36- According the Watchtower teaching when was the last days begins?
37- If your organization’s last day start in 1914 , why would your religion contradict the Bible at Joel 2:28 and Act 2:17-21.
38- Since 1914 some things are getting better not worse, people are living longer
and healthier and 1914 generations are dying off without the end of the world
as your religion proclaimed. Do you still believe that only your religion is true
religion despite all these failures?
The 1984 Booklet Pp 8-9 – The Divine Name that WILL ENDURE FOREVER
States, that “Yahweh is the proper Name of True God”. Again,
The Aid To Bible Understanding 1980 Edition Pg 88 shows a Detailed History of
the name “Jehovah”. That a Catholic Bishop named Raymundus Martini
invented the name “Jehovah” in 1270 AD.
39- Why would a Gods organization choose an invented name for God instead of
his real name?
Why did Jesus and early Christians don’t use Jehovah?
What name did God Tell Moses that will endure forever in Exodus 3:13-15?
How Many are in Heavens
40- 144,000 is it a literal number or a symbolic number? Let us read Revelation
14:1-3 and Revelation 7:1-3 , 11-15 , 19:1
41- If their description is not literal, does it not make sense that number is also not a
literal numbers?
The Biblical History of early believers from 33CE to 70 AD are more than 144,000 people.
Early church members are more than 144,000.
Act 2:41. 3.000
Act. 4:4. 5,000
Act. 9:42. Many became believers
Act. 17:4. Great multitude
Act. 19:18 Many became believers
Act. 13:44-48. All the city gathered and became believers
Act. 21:20. Thousand of believers
Early Local Churches

1 Corinthian. 1:2. Corinthian
Galatians 1:2. Galatia
Philip 1:1. Philippians
Ephesians 1:1. Ephesians
Colosse1:2. Colossians
1Thessalonians 1:1. Thessalonians
Titus 1:5. Crete ,
Revelation 2:8. Smyrna.
Revelation 2:18 Tyatira
Revelation 3:7 Philadelphia
Revelation 3:14 Laodicea
Revelation 2:12 Pergamum
Revelation 3:1. Sardis
Pontus
Cappadocia
Asia
And Bithynia
42- What is the total population of these churches?
When Jesus said in John 14:6 ” I am the way, the truth, and life, no one come my father but through me. ( John 10:7-9)
Since your organization is claiming to be the Truth and only way to salvation and Jesus is claiming the same title. For example,
When someone leave the Watchtower Organization, it is refer to as, He left the truth or she left God’s organization.
43- Is the watchtower society equating itself to be the Truth and God?
Are they equating themselves with Jesus?
44- When people become a Jehovah’s Witnesses, they come into the “TRUTH”
What is the truth? Why is watchtower truth keep changing?
FALSE PROPHETS:
The Article, The Nations Shall Know That A Prophet is Among Them”
Watchtower April 1, 1972 identify your organization to be the prophet.
45- Why is the predictions and prophesies of the watchtower Society since 1879 to
the present(1914, 1919, 1925, 1975) never come to pass if they actually
Prophet of God, as they claim?
46- How many false prophesies can a prophet make before he or she can be called
a false prophets?(Deut. 18:15-20; Jer. 14:14; 2Corinth. 11:13-15; Gal.2:4-5)
47- Which religion is claiming to be the truth, the mediator and only road to life
And what did Jesus say about them in John 10:7-8 and Matthew 24:23-26?
48- What does God tell us about false prophets in Deuteronomy 18:20-22?
49- The writers of Watchtower publications quoted from other religious books,
Bibles, and Encyclopedias, to support their doctrines, which means they have
read those books.
Why do they discourage their members from reading other religious book?
Who Are The Anti-Christ
Those who oppose Jesus Christ and God are the anti-Christ or the Apostates.(2John 1: 7-11)
Why is the Watchtower applying the passage to their corporation? Is the Corporation is Jesus and God?
Is the Watchtower God so partial and intolerance of other believers(Act 10:34-35)
ADULATORY
Loyalty to an Organization more than to God amount to adulatory(Act 5:29; Act 4:19-20)
Any doubter of their unimpaired teaching is label APOSTATES
50- Why is your organization light is afraid of the darkness( your former
members)?
Higher Education:
Watchtower History show lack of appreciation for higher education from Pastor Russell to the present Governing Body. As a result, They form the lowest workforce in any country, they have printed contradictory Doctrines than any religion due to lack of Critical thinking and education. They have higher rate of
Divorce. Surgical mortality rate is higher for refusing blood transfusion and organ transplant, even though, it was later reverses, after the loss of lives and properties.
51- What are the reasons why your religion is discouraging higher education for
the past 100 years?
As Plato said: ” it is normal for a child to be afraid of the dark, the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of light”
Anyone or any group of men or any organization who is afraid of their critics, who is afraid of their own History and who is afraid of their former members can not convince me that they have the truth.
They must be hiding something terrible but not the truth. The truth stands forever. It does not change with time and it can withstand any scrutiny.
Therefore, I disagree that a nonprofit NY printing Organization qualify to be nicknamed God’s organization despite, all their false prophesies since 1879 to the Present.
52- What is the meaning of Apostate in the English Dictionary? Does that mean all
the people that left their former religion to join your organization are Apostate?
Or the meaning changes when someone leave your religion?
53- If your religion is the light and the Apostates are the darkness, why is your
religions( the Light) is so afraid of the darkness( the Apostates)?
HOLIDAYS
History tell us about the pagan weekdays and pagan holidays before Christianity.
For example:
Sunday was used to worship the Sun
Monday was used to worship the Moon
Saturday was used to worship. The god of Saturn
December 25 was used to mourn the god of Tarmus
Just to name but few.
54- Can we rightly says we would not worship our God on Sunday because it
was used to worship god of the sun in the past? What about SATURDAY?
No ! We should be thankful to God that those days are being used to Praise our living God today unlike in the past.
Suppose you need to have surgery for a life-threatening illness. You would want to have the utmost confidence in the surgeon, since your life will be in his hands. Would it not be prudent to review his record of experience?
Similarly, it is wise to examine religion carefully. If you belong to a religious organization, you are, in effect, putting your spiritual life in its hands. This includes your prospects for salvation.” WATCHTOWER. “The Watchtower (2013), July 1, 2013.”
55- Based on the July 1,2013 Watchtower Magazine what have you learn about the
history of the Watchtower Organization end of the world predictions from 1879
to date? How do you investigate the Watchtower Society?
56- Would you have confidence in a surgeon that always commit errors during
operation but he will be willing to correct his mistake maybe five Years Later?
Many Members of Watchtower Organization sold their businesses, their homes,
Forgone child bearing and schooling because the organization told them that the world would come to an end in 1975 and donate the money to the society.
57- What compensation did the society offered them when their prophesy failed?
58- Where we’re those donations invested? Do you know how much they are? Do
they have financial statement for the public to see?
59- What does Proverb 30:6 says about adding to Yahweh’s word?
60- How do the Society compensate those who died while refusing, organ
transplant and whole blood transfusion before the organization reverses itself on
organ transplant and the fraction of blood transfusion?
61- How do you check the Society Bible and other books quotations to know
whether they are quoted out of context?
Other religion organization cater for the needs of their members in areas of Healthcare, Educations, and immigration and job security for their members.
Some care for the widows and orphans and poor in their midst.
James 1:27 says, “The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world”.
62- How do the Watchtower Organization perform the above social responsibilities
with the tax free donations they receive?
Shunning: WT POLICY THAT DESTROYED MANY FAMILIES
If you read the Watchtower Organization policy as contained in the ( WT 2008 pg. 207-208 and WT 1981 Sept. 15 ) which put the organization in the position of God. It demands absolute loyalty from wife and children and placed the organization above the husband the head of the family.
For example, if a member decide to violate the organization laws on blood transfusion or leave an abusive spouse, the person will be disfellowshipped and shunned by his own children and wife. Then the wife become the spiritual head of the house in spiritual matters.
While the husband is still obligated to provide materially for the wife but she was not obligated to perform her wifely duties in the home. This policy have ruined many homes because, it violates God’s principle of headship.(Ephesians 5:22-24)
63- Where in the Bible did God overthrow the principle of headship, so that the wife
become the spiritual head in the family?
JESUS WITNESSES or JEHOVAH WITNESSES WHICH?
Read Act 1:7-8
He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:7, 8 , NIV)
The following Scriptures will show that Jehovah God, the Holy Spirit, the Angels, and early Christians are Jesus Witnesses. (Matthew 3:17, 1 John 5:9-12)
(John 15:26-27) (Revelation 22:16, Revelation 19:10) and Many of the early Christian bear witness to Jesus. (Act 1:8, 2:32, 4:33, I Corinthian 15:1-5)
64- Whose Witness should all Christian be? Whose witness should you be?
65- Why do you established a Judicial Committee or Star Chambers in violation of
Jesus command in the following Scriptures(Matthew 7:1-3, John 5:22-25,30,
James 2:10-13)?
PART C:
“He is the reflection of [his] glory and the exact representation of his very being, and he sustains all things by the word of his power; and after he had made a purification for our sins he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty in lofty places. 4 So he has become better than the angels, to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs”.(Hebrew 1:3-4)
Xxxxxx
1- In what ways is Jesus A reflection and exact representation of God the Father, YHWH or Yahweh?
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Revelation 1:7, 8 KJV)
2- Who is coming in the cloud? Who is the Alpha and Omega?
3- Who is the person pierced in John 19:37 And Zechariah 12:10.?
4- Who is almighty in Revelation 7:8?
5- Isaiah 9:6 Who is Mighty God?
Isaiah 43:11 I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.”
And
Luke 2:11
11 because there was born to YOU today a Savior, who is Christ [the] Lord, in David’s city.
6- Who is our savior in both Luke and Isaiah?
John 4:42
42 and they began to say to the woman: “We do not believe any longer on account of your talk; for we have heard for ourselves and we know that this man is for a certainty the savior of the world.
Titus 2:13
13 while we wait for the happy hope and glorious manifestation of the great God and of [the] Savior of us, Christ Jesus,
7- Who is our savior in both Titus and John?
John 20:28
In answer Thomas said to him: “My Lord and my God!”
8- Who did Thomas recognize as God?
John 10:30 I and the Father are one.”
9- What does Jesus mean when he says me and my father is one?
10- Is Jesus the same as Yahweh?
My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 And I give them everlasting life, and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand ( John 10:7-9, 28 )
11- Which religion organization is impersonating Jesus by claiming to be truth, and
God’s Organization?
Why Jesus impersonator are called thieves and
plunderers in John 10:7-8?
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.( John 17:2 KJV)
12- Whose job is to give everlasting life in John 10:28?
“In order that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He that does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.(John 5:23)
13- Why should you honor Jesus in the same way we honour God the father?
“Most truly I say to YOU, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has everlasting life, and he does not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life”.(John 5:23-24)
And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.(Hebrew 1:6)
14- If God did not recognize Jesus as God why would Jehovah tell us to worship
him?
The fact is, Jesus carries divine nature of God. Is like identical twins. It is difficult to know the difference between God And Jesus. He bears the qualities and the name of God. The Bible call him God and his disciples recognize him as God.
He himself said, if you see me, you have seen my father. Me and my father are one.
15- For example, if our creator is Jesus and everything in Heaven and on earth is
created by him and for Him. Why should we not worship him?
( Colossians 1:14-17 )
16- If Jesus will gives us everlasting life and His father commands us to worship
him, who is me and you, not worship and honor him?
17- What is the difference between Biblical Christians and a Jehovah,s witness?
Baptism
Bible – Matthew 28:19
“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”.
Watchtower – 1985 Jun 1 p.30
“The first question is:
On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?
The second is:
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.”
18- The implication of the second question is that, witnesses are being dedicated to
an organization, rather than, getting Baptizing in the Name of the Father, of the
Son and Holy Spirit. Why is this?
MARRY ONLY IN THE LORD
A wife is bound during all the time her husband is alive. But if her husband should fall asleep [in death], she is free to be married to whom she wants, only in [the] Lord. ( 1 Corinthian 7:39, 12:3 )
19- Which particular religion was Paul alluding to when he says marry only in The
Lord? Who are in The Lord according to I Corinthian 12:3?
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.
Do not be carried away with various and strange teachings; for it is fine for the heart to be given firmness by undeserved kindness, not by eatables, by which those who occupy themselves with them have not been benefited(Hebrew 13:8-9).
20- If Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever, why would a
religion who claim to be the truth, and the ark of Noah has change their
doctrines many times?
For example, their last days start in 1914 and this generation will not pass away.
From total rejection of blood transfusion to the fraction Of blood.
The list is endless.
“Is Jesus the “mediator” only for anointed Christians? … So in this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the “mediator” only for anointed Christians.” (Watchtower 1979
Apr 1 p.31)
21- If Jesus is only mediator for the few thousand remaining remnant on earth, who
is mediator for the millions of Jehovah’s Witnesses that do not form part of the
144,000?
Who Should partakes the Lord’s Evening Meal?(John 6:54; Roman 8:1-17; I Corth 11:28; 2Corinth. 13:5)
Consider the following Scriptures (Proverb 30:5-6 and Revelation 22:18-19)
Plato once said, it is normal for a child to be afraid of light,but the tragedy is when men are dreadful of light.
View Points
It is note worthy that Watchtower Society is one of the best Organized religion on earth like the Catholic Church but that does not qualified it to be the Truth and God’s Organization. That would be amounted to Grandiosity and impersonating of Jesus, who is the only Way, the Truth and Life(John 14:6)
God created people as free moral agent with ability to choose one form of worship or the other. It is ironic that a religion organization that fought for freedom of worship is denying it members the same freedom of worship. Many people left their former religion and join the Watchtower Organization, they are not labeled an Apostate until they decide to find another religion and left. About 80% of their members are Apostate based on the Watchtower interpretation. They are not Apostate when they join but they became Apostate when they left. What a double standard?
I realized that I am a condemned sinners but I am Saved by Grace and not by work or self righteous
so that no person can boast.(Eph. 2:8-9, Titus 2:11; Roman 11:5-6 and Gal. 2:21) The Watchtower caused many people to loose their lives, businesses, farms, lost their children or no bearing, no college education based on their false predictions and false teachings(Such as organ transplant, blood transfusion, End of the world in 1914, 1925, 1975) and no one get compensation for these losses.
Religion is good but be watchful it can be harmful to your health and wellbeing as well. Remember the Davidian in Waco Texas the Heaven Gate and the Jonestown in South America, all the faithful perish while the doubters survived. Also, those who are labeled inactive among the witnesses fare better than those who followed them blindly during their false prophesies. No matter how educated one is, religion and fear can still enslave the person. No wonder Carl-Max said, “Religion is the opium of the masses”. Obey God rather than men and test their doctrine with the Bible. If their doctrine contract the Bible it is probably they are false Christ.
