Jesus or Jehovah Witness?

Whose witness should Christians Be?

The following Bible passages shows that Our Heavenly father, Jehovah God bears witness to Jesus, the Holy Spirit bear witness to Jesus, the Angels bear witness to Jesus, the prophets bear witness to Jesus and all the early Christians bear Witness to Jesus. We too should bear witness to Jesus.

God Bear Witness to Jesus

Jesus immediately came up from the water; and, look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw descending like a dove God’s spirit coming upon him.
17 Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.”(Matthew 3:17)

9 If we receive the witness men give,
the witness God gives is greater, because this is the witness God gives, the fact that he has borne witness concerning his Son.
10 The [person] putting his faith in the Son of God has the witness given in his own case. The [person] not having faith in God has made him a liar, because he has not put his faith in the witness given, which God as witness has given concerning his Son.
11 And this is the witness given, that God gave us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that has the Son has this life; he that does not have the Son of God does not have this life.
(1 John 5:9-12, John 8:18)

“While he was yet speaking, look! a bright cloud overshadowed them, and, look! a voice out of the cloud, saying: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved; listen to him.” (Matthew 17:5)

How, then, shall we escape if we pay no attention to such a great salvation? The Lord himself first announced this salvation, and those who heard him proved to us that it is true. At the same time God added his witness to theirs by performing all kinds of miracles and wonders and by distributing the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to his will.

It was only right that God, who creates and preserves all things, should make Jesus perfect through suffering, in order to bring many children to share his glory. For Jesus is the one who leads them to salvation. He purifies people from their sins, and both he and those who are made pure all have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his family. (Hebrews 2:3, 4, 10, 11 GNT)

Who was bearing Witness to Jesus in The Book of Matthew and 1john ?

If Our God bear witness to Jesus, then who we bear witness to?

Holy Spirit Bear Witness to Jesus.

Jesus said, “When the helper arrives that I will send YOU from the Father, the spirit of the truth, which proceeds from the Father, that one will bear witness about me; 27 and YOU, in turn, are to bear witness, because YOU have been with me from when I began”.(John 15:26-27)

“I have many things yet to say to YOU, but YOU are not able to bear them at present. 13 However, when that one arrives, the spirit of the truth, he will guide YOU into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own impulse, but what things he hears he will speak, and he will declare to YOU the things coming. 14 That one will glorify me, because he will receive from what is mine and will declare it to YOU.
(John 16:12-14)

Who did Jesus says, will bear witness to him?

Who should also bear witness to Jesus?

Angels Bear Witness to Jesus

“At that I fell down before his feet to worship him. But he tells me: “Be careful! Do not do that! All I am is a fellow slave of you and of your brothers who have the work of witnessing to Jesus. Worship God; for the bearing witness to Jesus is what inspires prophesying.”(Revelation 19:10).

“‘I, Jesus, sent my angel to bear witness to YOU people of these things for the congregations. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright morning star”(Revelation 22:16).

Who did Jesus sent to bear Witness to him?

“The Prophets Bear Witness to Jesus.

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. (Acts 10:38-43 KJV)

Jesus Command all Christians to be His Witnesses.

When he said, “but YOU will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon YOU, and YOU will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Ju·de´a and Sa·mar´i·a and to the most distant part of the earth.”(Act 1:8)

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14 KJV).

This Jesus God resurrected, of which fact we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore because he was exalted to the right hand of God and received the promised holy spirit from the Father, he has poured out this which YOU see and hear. (Act 2:32-33)

whereas YOU killed the Chief Agent of life. But God raised him up from the dead, of which fact we are witnesses. (Act 3:15)

Also, with great power the apostles continued giving forth the witness concerning the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and undeserved kindness in large measure was upon them all.(Act 4:33)

And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.(Act 5:42)

But God raised him up from the dead; 31 and for many days he became visible to those who had gone up with him from Gal´i·lee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.(Act 13:30)

11 But the following night the Lord stood by him and said: “Be of good courage! For as you have been giving a thorough witness on the things about me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome.”(Act 23:11)

Who should bear witness about Jesus in Rome?

Miracles- Identifying Mark of Christians.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. (Mark 16:15-19 KJV)

What power identify true Christians?

And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. (Luke 10:17-20 KJV)

What makes the disciple joyful?

He now said to them: “These are my words which I spoke to YOU while I was yet with YOU, that all the things written in the law of Moses and in the Prophets and Psalms about me must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened up their minds fully to grasp the meaning of the Scriptures, 46 and he said to them: “In this way it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from among the dead on the third day, 47 and on the basis of his name repentance for forgiveness of sins would be preached in all the nations—starting out from Jerusalem, 48 YOU are to be witnesses of these things. ( Luke 24:36-48)

What should be preach in all the

1 Now I make known to YOU, brothers, the good news which I declared to YOU, which YOU also received, in which YOU also stand, 2 through which YOU are also being saved, with the speech with which I declared the good news to YOU, if YOU are holding it fast, unless, in fact, YOU became believers to no purpose.

3 For I handed on to YOU, among the first things, that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; 4 and that he was buried, yes, that he has been raised up the third day according to the Scriptures; 5 and that he appeared to Ce´phas, then to the twelve. 6 After that he appeared to upward of five hundred brothers at one time, the most of whom remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep [in death]. 7 After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 8 but last of all he appeared also to me as if to one born prematurely.
( Act 10:43, 1 Corinthian 15:1-8)

What is the Good news to all people?

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all—[this is] what is to be witnessed to at its own particular times.
7 For the purpose of this witness I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—a teacher of nations in the matter of faith and truth.( 1 Timothy 2:5-7)

Who alone is our mediator?

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 10:27-28)

Who are the people that will follow Jesus?

In summary, Jehovah God our father bears witness about Jesus, the HOLY SPIRIT bears witness about Jesus, all the prophets bear witness about Jesus, all the angels bear witness about Jesus, and all Christians bear witness about Jesus.

Whose witnesses should all Christian be?

Whose Witness should YOU be?

Jesus Witness Ministries is inviting you to bear witness to Jesus and come to Jesus for salvation.

History:

In 1931, Brother J.F.Rutherford changed it’s name from Bible Students International to Jehovah’s Witnesses, applying Isaiah 43:10 to support this doctrine.

“YOU are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “even my servant whom I have chosen, in order that YOU may know and have faith in me, and that YOU may understand that I am the same One. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none( Isaiah 43:10)

If you compare Isaiah 43:11 to Luke 2:11 you may come to a conclusion that both scriptures is talking about one savior Jesus Christ.

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
they have financial statement for the public to see?

5- How many company do they have beside the Watchtower Printing Corporation?
How many offshore accounts did the Society invested their funds?

6- 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 use of fraction of blood transfusion?

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

Rome 1:7. Rome
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.

DID GOD FORBID BLOOD TRANSFUSION?

Did God forbid his servants from Saving Life through Blood Transfusion?

The above questions can be answered by answering the following questions:

What is the functions of blood?
How many types of blood do we have?
How many types of transfusion do we have?
How does the blood transfusion save life’s?
Did God foresaw that men would use blood transfusion to safe life?
How does the pagan nations use blood?
What is God’s view about the eating of blood?
What does cut off from his people mean in Hebrew?
Does cutting off (Kareth) means destroying a human lives for disrespecting animal lives?
What is recommended punishment for violating the law forbidding the eating of blood?
What is the differences between eating of blood and transfusion of blood?

A- What is the functions of blood?

1. The blood transports Oxygen as oxy hemoglobin from the
lungs to the blood cells and returns carbon dioxide from
the cells to the lungs for excretion.

2. The blood is the means whereby all nourishment is
transported to the cells.

3. Acts as a Vehicle: The blood transports hormones and
enzymes from their place of origin to their target organs
and tissues (place of activity).

4. Drainage of Waste Products: The blood removes all waste
products from the tissues and cells. These waste products
are transported to the appropriate organs for excretion
lungs, kidney’s, intestine, skin etc.

5. Blood Clotting: By the mechanism of clotting, loss of
blood cells and body fluids is prevented.

6. Regulation of body temperature: Blood helps to maintain the
body temperature by distributing the heat produced by the
chemical activity of the cells evenly, throughout the body.

7. Defense actions: The blood aids in the defense of the body
against the invasion of micro-organisms and their toxins.

B- How many types of blood we have?

1- Platelets, which help the blood to clot. Clotting stops the
blood from flowing out of the body when a vein or artery is
broken. Platelets are also called thrombocytes. Red blood
cells, which carry oxygen.

2- Red blood cells are the most plentiful. In fact, a healthy
adult has about 35 trillion of them. The body creates these
cells at a rate of about 2.4 million a second, and they
each have a life span of about 120 days. Red blood cells
are also called erythrocytes.

3- White blood cells, which ward off infection. These cells,
which come in many shapes and sizes, are vital to the
immune system. When the body is fighting off infection, it
makes them in ever-increasing numbers. Still, compared to
the number of red blood cells in the body, the number of
white blood cells is low. Most healthy adults have about
700 times as many red blood cells as white ones. White
blood cells are also called leukocytes.

C- How many types of transfusion do we have?

Types of Blood Transfusions
Blood is transfused either as whole blood (with all its parts) or, more often, as individual parts. The type of blood transfusion you need depends on your situation.
For example, if you have an illness that stops your body from properly making part of your blood, you may need only that part to treat the illness.

1-Red Blood Cell Transfusions

Red blood cells are the most commonly transfused part of the blood. These cells carry oxygen from the lungs to your body’s organs and tissues. Red blood cells also help your body get rid of carbon dioxide and other waste products.
You may need a transfusion of red blood cells if you’ve lost blood due to surgery or an injury. You also may need this type of transfusion if you have severe anemia (uh-NEE-me-uh) due to a disease or blood loss.
Anemia is a condition in which your blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells. Anemia also can occur if your red blood cells don’t have enough hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin)
Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color. This protein carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

2- Platelet and Clotting Factor Transfusions

Platelets and clotting factors help stop bleeding, including internal bleeding that you can’t see. Some illnesses can prevent your body from making enough platelets or clotting factors. If you have one of these illnesses, you might need regular platelet or clotting factor transfusions to stay healthy.
For example, if you have hemophilia (heem-o-FILL-ee-ah), you may need a special clotting factor to replace the clotting factor you’re lacking. Hemophilia is a rare, inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood doesn’t clot normally.
If you have hemophilia, you may bleed for a longer time than others after an injury or accident. You also may bleed internally, especially in the joints (knees, ankles, and elbows).

3- Plasma Transfusions

Plasma is the liquid part of your blood. It’s mainly water, but it also contains proteins, clotting factors, hormones, vitamins, cholesterol, sugar, sodium, potassium, calcium, and more.
If you have been badly burned or have liver failure or a severe infection, you may need a plasma transfusion.

How does the blood transfusion save life’s?

Blood transfusion saves life by replacing the type of blood that was lacking in our body due to the loss of blood or when suffering from anemia. Another example is women produce plenty of white blood cells when nursing their babies to boost the baby immune system and to fight infections.

Did God foresaw that men would use blood transfusion to safe life?

Yes. Even though there was no transfusion when the Bible was written, God is able to foresee the future.

That was why he did not forbid the use of blood transfusion in the Bible. For example, He allows women to nurse their babies with breast milk which contains white blood cells. Medical professionals confirmed the benefits of nursing a new-born with breast milk.

Did God forbid blood transfusion to safe life? NO! He did not. Because our God knows all things and none of his prophets forbid humans from saving live’s through blood transfusion.

How does the pagan nations use and ate blood?

The Pagan Nations around the world usually strangled the neck of their sacrificial animals or birds and drink their blood. They don’t practice bleeding of games. Some people safe animal blood in a baking pan and after baking it, they use it as food.

What is the difference between blood transfusion and eating of blood?

Blood Transfusion:

Blood transfusion is when blood is transfuse directly into systemic systems(veins and arteries). It carries oxygen, nutrients, enzymes and hormones to their target organs and remove carbon dioxide and by products of cells activities through lungs and skins.

Eating of blood:

Eating of blood entail strangulation of animals and birds and drinking their blood. Some people baked blood and use as food and eat it by mouth or by peg tube. It goes through digestive system. It is excreted as waste products through anus.

What is God’s view about the eating of blood?

God has a dietary laws for the Jews against the eating of blood.
The pagan nations practices of not bleeding a game and strangle the neck of sacrificial animals show lack of respect for the lives of those games. The lives of every creature is in its blood. The blood carry circulatory gases – oxygen and carbon dioxide. That was why God forbid the eating of 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.’”

Leviticus 17:13-15 says,”‘As for any man of the sons of Israel or some alien resident who is residing as an alien in YOUR midst who in hunting catches a wild beast or a fowl that may be eaten, he must in that case pour its blood out and cover it with dust. 14 For the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood by the soul in it. Consequently I said to the sons of Israel: “YOU must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh, because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it will be cut off.”

The punishment for eating blood is in verse 15

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.

So what does cutting off means? Read verse 15 again. Be unclean until evening.

The early Christian uphold the sacredness of blood.

Act 15:29
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!”

Matthew 15:11. Jesus says,
11 “Not what enters into [his] mouth defiles a man; but it is what proceeds out of [his] mouth that defiles a man.”

If the punishment for eating blood is BE UNCLEAN UNTIL EVENING, why then should a sane Christian kill themselves in the name of loyalty to ones religion?
Higher Education is expensive but ignorance will cost you your lives.

Isaiah 5:13 says,”13 Therefore my people will have to go into exile for lack of knowledge; and their glory will be famished men, and their crowd will be parched with thirst.

However, we must point out that, all human efforts to safe lives through blood transfusion carries some risks of contaminated blood, mismatched blood type and risk of infections. Therefore, blood transfusion should be used when it is absolutely necessary and after seeking the second opinion of medical professionals.

As you can read from the above materials, God intentions was to preserve the sacredness of life; because blood transport gases or life force into our circulatory system. Violation of this dietary law carries the penalty of cutting-off which means BE UNCLEAN UNTIL EVENING.

The question is wOuld a loving God destroy people who want to preserve the sacredness of their lives through blood transfusion?

If you reject blood transfusion based on your religious parochial believes and you die, Jehovah and Jesus can charge you for murder.

Yes. Jehovah God and Jesus can charge an adult who refused blood transfusion for murder because it not God intention to destroy lives for respecting life. In cases whereby a parent make the decision for a child not to accept blood transfusion and if child should die, the State should charge the parent for murder. Children should not endangered for unreasonable decision of their parents.

Those religion that impose their parochial doctrine of equalizing blood eating with blood transfusion does so at their own peril.

For example, those who made choice of accepting blood transfusion has been disfellowshipped and shunned and in some cases, the family have been separated and destroyed. This harsh punishment for accepting a medical treatment involving blood transfusion have gone beyond what is written in the Bible.

Leviticus 17: 15 Let the person be Unclean until evening and this does not mean disfellowshipped and shunning.

Jehovah did not impose such heartless punishment on anyone.

Those who made the law forbidding blood transfusion have nothing to lose. After many years misleading their members, their new light, lit-up. You can now safe your love ones with a fraction of blood. That is the clever way of admitting that they have been wrong for too long. What does a fraction of blood means?

If the whole blood = red + white. + platelet. What is a fraction of blood?

Is it a fraction of red blood/ (over )platelet and white blood? 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.
This is one example of not owning up to one’s responsibilities of being wrong for too long and they want safe their faces or is a case of clever manipulation.

Jesus Witness Ministry is using this article to educate the readers to assist them to make an inform decision based on Godly views about blood transfusion and medical benefits of saving lives though blood. The writer is writing from a personal experience. Don’t be fooled by religion fanaticism who have little or nothing to lose after killing your own love ones. A word is enough for the wise.

In summary, God did not forbid blood transfusion in the Bible. The reason why Yahweh forbade the eating of blood, was to preserve sanctity of LIFE because blood transport oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide from the systemic system. The punishment for eating animal killed by strangulation, found dead or sacrifice to idol is to remain unclean until evening and then be clean. Read Leviticus 17:15. The heartless disfellowshipped and shunning of members as enacted by the Watchtower Printing Organization is ungodly misapplication
Of the Scriptures. Our God is LOVE. He is a God of freedom. His power of Holy Spirit is capable of helping any believer who seek assistance to overcome life challenges.
