Jehovah’s Witnesses admit their Bible is fake

- New World Translation is strangely named. In a clever tactical move many key passages are altered or changed.
Why? To support the unusual JW theology. Yes, Jehovah’s Witnesses have changed the Bible, God’s Word, to suit them despite this: “I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll. (Revelation 22:18,19)
I’m aware many New World Translations in languages other than English are still boldly printed with ‘Bible’ on the front cover despite the original English version being curiously titled ‘Holy Scriptures’. As the organisation is US based my take on it is they guard themselves against unfavourable questions & litigation on their home turf with less concern elsewhere. There are regional differences. However the leaders of any religious group hold spiritual authority over all their followers so by extension everything and everyone that comes under their influence is tainted, unclean, defiled. ‘Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive any of her plagues;’ - Revelation 18:4
The purpose of this video is to make people question why a group who proudly called themselves 'International Bible Students' and still use the name to this day in official capacity wouldn't call their translation openly a Bible. Its weird and undoubtedly a spiritual thing. It may just be to appear clever and superior to other Bible translations and faith groups, to differentiate. However, I believe the real reason is more sinister. Perhaps the GB (or the demonic principality behind the organisation) believe they will be able to get away with changing the word of God on a technicality... oh look we called it 'holy scriptures' so no one mistakes it as the Holy Bible, Word of God. Thanks for watching!
At the end of the book of Revelation there are very serious warnings for those who misuse it. It would be better not to violate them.
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy.
That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
@@AlexejSvirid The actual warning at the very end of revelation is for those who add or take away from what is written in the bible. There are actually many versions that do this but the NWT is so bad it cannot be considered a version, but a perversion of the written word of God.
While I agree that the New World Translation version of the bible Is the most twisted/forged (regarding the interlinear since we have no originals) the several SELECTED (by whom? = Nicea Concil) narratives and letters that have been called the bible (WAY later on) are actually all called Holy Scriptures by Christians (who before this given denomination were just called Jesus Christ disciples).
Still, I believe that there's no mention of holy scriptures in the scriptures in question, unless anyone wants to acknowledge 2 Tim 3:15 talking about Saint "Letters" which doesn't really mean the same... (letters are letters). The thing is that "Saint" meaning (in those scriptures) is not to be understood as sacred but sound minded = well inspired (holy spirited).
Also, what the apostles & Jesus were calling the scriptures was the written Jew people story including their laws according to Jesus for instant in John 10:34 quote "Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’? Referring to Psalm 82:6.
So then what is 2 Tim 3:16 (following the verse 15) is talking about for real? That's a bold statement (when we can see the contradictions). That's the all thing... We still need to use discernment ANYWAY (or we are doomed to fall for imposters and forged versions of scriptures). I mean, it's just common sense.
You have it backwards. The word Bible was added. It's Latin for book or books. The biblical scholar F. F. Bruce notes that John Chrysostom appears to be the first writer (in his Homilies on Matthew, delivered between 386 and 388 CE) to use the Greek phrase ta biblia ("the books") to describe both the Old and New Testaments together. Calling it Holy Scriptures is actually what it really is.
Actually, I have an English language 2013 edition of the NWT bound in genuine leather, gold stamped "Holy Bible" on the front and on the spine. I live in Oklahoma. Would you like for me to send you a picture of it?
All scripture is inspired by God.... There's the answer, no need for watchtower publications, the Bible speaks for itself.
But if people didn’t read the Watchtower Cult Propaganda (including their MIStranslation of the Holy Bible), they would fall back into “Christendom”. To roughly quote their founder and cult leader of the day CTR.
@@shawnjaillet568 of said ‘Christendom’ Jesus made it clear the church founded on him would NEVER fall completely in Matthew 16:18
@@faithhopefuture Amen
And yet most people red the biblie snd cant answer simple question about it
But you just cited the word *"SCRIPTURES"* something the author of this video criticized using.
In Crisis of Conscience, Ray Franz talks about the translation and they are not scholars. This bible was modified to back their false doctrine. I never realized it was not called a Bible...haha. Thank you and Great video!
Word of apostate
@@fermonitolagnason970 You guys love to use that term as a pejorative, basically an ad hominem attack, as the true meaning has been changed by the GB. An apostate, yes, renouncing a religion. Ray Franz did not renounce Jesus, or God, so and is not an "apostate" in the false definition of the GB in their feeble attempt to marginalize and demean people who do not agree with their doctrine. You would be wise to do your research, as the Bereans, and really weigh what your being told by Men. Men who offer no salvation and are not a channel to God. Jesus was the one and only. Call names, what ever makes you feel better, does not change the fact that there is deep corruption in this group and covered over atrocities.
@@fermonitolagnason970 according to Watchtower's definition of the word, Jesus was an apostate.
Ray Franz knew nothing about who the NWT translators were. He wasn’t even at bethel or even part of the GB at the time of its development. He was a missionary in Puerto Rico making it impossible for him to know who the translators were. And in his book he doesn’t tell us where he got the information from.
@@Cfalconeri You are aware Raymond Franz still believed the same as the Watchtower who Jesus was right ? He denied the Trinity and didn’t speak openly about because his books wouldn’t sell 😆
Now that they use their phones and tablets instead of a hard copy the TH can actually make changes to the "translation" on the fly without anyone noticing.
I'm really concerned about that too.
Phones and tablets are also being used in churches to read the Bible. Those translations can also be changed on the fly without someone noticing.
@@NoLaughComedyClash I prefer reading from a hard copy. I recently watched a YT video about some changes made in the NWT online version.
@NoLaughComedyClash there's the exception, THEY DONT CHANGE THEIR BIBLE
You do not use a bible!!!!!
It's referred to as a NEW WORLD translation of, Holy Scriptures.
That's not a bible, it legally IS NOT A BIBLE!!
it's manipulated canonised books with theology assertions for the NEW WORLD they are trying to create. Have a look at the areal view of your HQ in Denmark! MARK OF THE BEAST
P A G A N
@@chrisilver yes, they do. A lot of the churches in my community use phones and tablets. Other places I've visited also use them. So you can't say that they don't. This world is turning to digital and no one will be able to stop it.
Former high-ranking Watch Tower staff have identified various members of the translation team. In 1983 former Governing Body member Raymond Franz listed Nathan H. Knorr, Fredrick W. Franz, Albert D. Schroeder, George D. Gangas, and Milton G. Henschel as members of the translation team, adding that only Frederick Franz had sufficient knowledge in biblical language en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Translation_of_the_Holy_Scriptures
Blasphemous for sure…Especially the Holy Spirit that they actually replaced in their baptism into the cult. They’d have been put to death by the law.
"Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for.
"HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah).
Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy.
That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
@@AlexejSvirid Did Jesus lie then? The religious of the time FALSELY accused him of blasphemy….read that again. Let it sink in. The reason they executed him was not because he denounced the Pharisees but because he made the claim of who he actually was and the law required it. That is the accusation that put him to death all according to scripture. Jehovah Witnesses would do EXACTLY same today. They would hate him for denouncing them and he would be shunned (which in a cult mind is the same as death). Who do you think he is? That is the question you must answer for yourself. Stop being fooled by the men you worship.
@@AlexejSviridThe witchtower itself, openly admits that "jehovah" is NOT the most accurate rendering of God's proper name.
Given all the FALSE TRASH they have taught for over one hundred years,... you would have thought the drunk (rutherford) could have, at least, got the name the name, correct!
What are dark, demonic comedy!
@@AlexejSviridThe name Jesus means the Lord is your salvation,remove the name Jehovah in that verse the new testament does not have the name Jehovah,when reading that verse it makes it clear that He is given that name because He is coming to save His people from their sin.
That verse is about Jesus His name makes it clear that He is the one who is saving,WT makes it as if the name of Jesus means Jehovah Saves,no The name of Jesus means the Lord saves and that Lord is Jesus.
The person who can say Jehovah saves is the one who believe that Jesus is Jehovah if you don't believe that you have butchered that verse.
What Law?
I grew most of them in the trash without any guilt. I didn’t want them and I’d feel guilty giving them away knowingly misleading people
Me too
I was born and raised Jehovah’s Witness , and on Aug 12th, 2021, I prayed to Jehovah letting him know how much this religion has hurt my heart. Since I was born I’ve been told that God was going to destroy all who were not witnesses. I couldn’t do it anymore I prayed to God letting him know all the damage this religion has done in my life....I told God that all I wanted was his love not paradise especially knowing all the non-witnesses that I loved were dead and I would gladly give my life in exchange for my children that are not witnesses. I told him I could no longer assist meetings because this religion is making me think badly of him. I remember yelling in my head how I couldn’t understand how a loving God could do this knowing our imperfections...I was sobbing, overwhelmed with grief when all of a sudden I had a thought of : I would never hurt anyone. I felt it down to my bones, I instantly calmed down and felt at peace. That night as I was laying down, my whole body started with intense waves of vibration, I started to sit up and it kept going, then I just had this knowing not be afraid and I just relaxed and immediately I started seeing all these lights and I was in a tunnel of light. I kept thinking if my husband turned around I was going to be sparkling! Then I was inside of this most amazing light that was filling me with so much love, fractals of light were coming towards me and all I could hear was I love you, you are loved over and over again. I felt all the pain and hate and hurt melt from my core, I was just floating there in unimaginable love and bliss, I remember being asked if I wanted to stay and I thought of my kids and then it just melted away and I was sitting in bed. I was drunk with Gods love for 2 weeks, I was healed from a full body skin illness I had been suffering for 3 years. I haven’t been back to any meetings since. Haven’t spoken to any elders about what happened just my mom and husband her reaction was not surprising, immediately told me to talk to an elder. I know they will say it was demonic, but how can a love so complete not be from something so pure? Because of this experience, I started researching and was blown away by THOUSANDS of accounts of others who have had this out of body experience called NDE or STE, I’m telling you it’s mind blowing how death has been held over us. Everyone says the same thing: God is not Judging us WE are!!! I still pray and feel Gods Holy Spirit with me something I had never felt in the Kingdom Hall! I just want others to know that God is not in the religious buildings/kingdom hall he is in our hearts everywhere we go, always. He does not give us the spirit of fear, anything in the Bible that causes fear is a misinterpretation. Jesus came to free us from the lies and it’s happening again, we are the new scrolls...the countless witnesses of how religions are a snare! Jesus said it was done! He didn’t say now we have to follow another religions rules to inherit the kingdom! My Father and I share the same will that ALL WILL BE SAVED!
Amazing! I’ve had similar experiences. And I plan to do some videos explaining how Holy Spirit works and spiritual giftings. Because I believe many JWs have supernatural experiences then feel unsettled thinking its demonic when it isn’t. Thank you for sharing your beautiful & awe inspiring story. ❤
I don't believe in god, certainly not the abrahamic one. But in the story jesus supposedly said:"The kingdom of heaven is within you and can not be found in a stone or wooden building. "
What a dear and true story. I went through similar in my own Awakening. I think many, many have yet hold it in because of religions that are so demon-obsessed and therefore give no credence to the Power of the Love for Jesus. Thank you so much for your beautiful testimony! ❤ You are so right and so loved!
Whoever told you that God was going to destroy all who were not witnesses.....KNOW THIS, that statement is not Biblical and is not found anywhere in God's Word. If anyone ever tells you that again, ask them where in the Bible (without that person twisting the meaning of scripture). Don't let anyone intimidate you and spout lies and deception.The Bible does tells us that God is not far from us and if we seek Him, He will find us. So when you reached out to God, He graciously responded....you felt peace and value... that's the power of God, the transforming power of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you haven't, please read Titus 3:4-7...powerful verses that tell us Jesus forgives us and grants us eternal life, not because of anything we've done, but by His grace & mercy.
Please explain what you meant that "all will be saved." If you mean that all who repent of their sins and place their complete trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ, I do agree with you. Thank you for reading and replying
I get it, Mama. I was brainwashed by the Catholic church, and I found out they go against the Bible and have altered it.
We have been out Free at last over 30 years ago. This religion was both our Mothers in early 1960’s. We were born 1952 and 1951. All we heard was The end was coming 1975. Well it’s 2024, we are still alive in our early 70’s. We are Free, with 2 grown sons 43-40 and we are very happy…
Thank you for sharing they put so much fear in you that if you leave you and your family will become the worst it will go bad for you this just proves them wrong 🙏❤
Ah yes. 1975. I waited too. I’m in my 70’s and out also, happy children, although my JW is still “in” and no contact. Good for you! I’m so happy for you! We survived 1975!!! ❤
Sorry. I’m making typing mistakes tonight. I meant to type “my JW Brother”. 😮
@@christinesotelo7655 I will pray that he wakes up to 🙏❤️
Jesus is coming
I never noticed this! This is a great find to show witnesses that they are being lied to!!
I wish I could meet a woman that loves Jesus as much as I do.
Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🙏
How can jws notice it, when the fact is that they hardly use their nwt 😅, great observation 👍🏽
SOOO TRUE...THEY ONLY READ THE CHERRY PICKED SCRIPTURES GIVEN TO THEM FOR THE PYRAMID SCHEME/TRICKING PEOPLE TO BECOME MEMBERS!
Now they simply refer people to the Org.
Great info,as a former cult member I see many simaliaties in the different cults.Downscaling Holy Spirit to a force instead of a person and delegating Christ Jesus to a god ie angel Makael. Yet God can remove the veil of deception from from peoples eyes.So always pray for deliverance for cult members.
Here is Christ's question
Mathew 15: 3: "But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?"
Malachi 2: 1-4: "And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts."
A women say "the Husband has no name". Another ones say "the Husband has many names". Some of women "love the Husband in all his manifestations" like: neighbour, taxi driver, coworker...
But, all of those prostitutes say "the Husband is the only".
Then they even talk about "trinity of the Husband" and they are not against "the Son taking the Husband's place".
In the same way religious prostitutes try to hide their disgusting fornication with different gods.
Furthermore, a correct pronunciation of the Name is unknown now. This is the “loyalty” of traitors!
Here is the God's word spoken through Moses,
Deuteronomy 11: 16-17: "Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you."
So, the God says there are other gods, but blind leaders of blind lead people into trap.
"Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for.
"HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah).
Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why liers feel so good while righteous people are persecuted.
That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom.
Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
They need to be delivered from the Governing Body of New York, USA and all fear. Cults have two MAJOR steps they use in recruitment: Love-bombing (false flattery and attention) and FEAR. The Fear Factor has one running to their WT daddies and big siblings for comfort and reassurance that should you ever leave, whoa! That’s it for you! This creates the Great Dependence while you pretend you’re loved and special yet you swallow down that fear and gut feeling something is terribly wrong. Whereas Jesus, is forever with us yet He is “pushed back” as we continue to cling to the Elders and GB. Eventually, we open up to Him and are never in doubt again of HIS Power.
And yes, people of all cults and false religions need deliverance.
Jesus and all disciples never say Jehovah or Jehovah god in the Bible. Governing body is not in the Bible either
Exactly! Neither does the Bible mention the word ‘organisation’ or that belonging to such is necessary for salvation!
Read Mark 12: 28-30 Now one of the scribes that had come up and heard them disputing, knowing that he had answered them in a fine way, asked him, Which commandment is first of all Jesus answered, The first is , Hear O Israel Jehovah our God is one Jehovah and you must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind and with your whole strength.Read also Psalm 83: 18
Matthew 4: 10 Jesus said to him Go away, Satan for it is written, It is Jehovah your God you must worship and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.. You wake up Jehovah God sanctify his great name at Armageddon.
@@rebeccabacalso4536Read this Psalm you mention in the interlinear translation of the Bible. There is no "Jehovah" in the Bible. It is a made up word less than 800 years old. King James put it in the Bible; not God. That is why you also find the word EASTER in the King James when it is actually the word PASSOVER.

Hello everyone.
I’ve been out of “the Witchtower” for 12 years and I’m just finding this extremely valid point as to the counterfeiting the Bible. I’m shocked that I didn’t find this gem much earlier. His bless Great work Samantha!!! 👊🏽
I recognize your concern. It's been 30 years since I left, and back in 1994, there wasn't much information about Watchtower. I didn't want to research it at the time. However, I decided to delve into it this year and realized I had placed too much trust in them. It broke my heart to discover Watchtower’s relationship with the UN and that the New World Translation was manipulated to match the doctrine. The Organization also appears to be doubling down concerning children, especially in terms of covering up CSA, child indoctrination, and baptizing at younger ages. It's one thing to disagree with doctrines such as 1914 or the 144,000, but what we are learning about now are unforgivable offenses.
Bragging or complaining ?

and don't forget New World Translation author Fred Franz being on trial for perjury in Scotland and not being able to translate Genesis 1:1 ("I won't attempt to do that.") after identifying himself as an Old Testament language scholar ...
He was self-anointed, self-appointed and gave himself an academic scholarly qualification. I guess he had his reward in full already too. 👀 what a creep.
@@faithhopefuture Bigger creep was his nephew Ray Franz.
Saint Ray Franz Post-Tower books had even more myths than the Bible.

No, Jehovah's Witnesses cannot be sued simply for calling their translation of the Bible "The Holy Bible." This designation is not unique or trademarked, and many different translations of the Bible use this title. As long as the translation is presented accurately as their interpretation and translation of the original texts, it is within their religious and free speech rights to call it "The Holy Bible." Chatgpt
Ha ha thanks for the clarification from chatgpt - maybe GB paid for that entry! 😂
Wow I never thought about that. Thank you for this 🙏🏾❤️
I'm also an ex jw and been disfellowshiped for 15 years. Had been going to my hubby's parents baptist Church which always made me feel guilty that I shouldn't be there but also comforted because I needed to feel God in my life so desperately. Just recently I finally brought myself to research outside of JW text. And I was so blown away by all the lies deceit and wrongdoing in the organization I was almost sick to my stomach just like someone told me everything you ever believed in was a lie . But I did not ask God why why he let me wander for so long. I found out why when I started to pray for his guidance and telling him I just want to be with him again and serve him the way he wants to be served and if he would show me and help me back on the path to him that I would draw closer to him. If course I started drawing closer to him immediately I didn't wait but he quickly showed me the more I searched for truth. Last sun I went to a church I had gone to a few times before and I had a pastor pray over me as I accepted Jesus as my savior. And ya know I don't recall the elders praying over me ever to help me get closer to God just cut me off and happened to be after my dad passed too. Anyway I felt the holy Spirit on me as he prayed and I took my first communion.
John Chapter One, Verse One is sufficient objection concerning Jehovah's Witnesses. The Interlinear Translation - which shows the original wording - clearly
shows that this organization modifies scripture. This is all one needs to say to a Jehovah's Witness: "Your organization modifies scripture." If they object, simply
point them to John Chapter One, Verse One as it is in the Interlinear Bible:
• NASB: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
• Jehovah's Witnesses: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a God.
Jehovah's Witnesses inserts the indefinite article "a" to assert that Jesus is merely one of many gods. I asked an "elder," "How many gods do you think there
are?" He replied, "I don't know."
Isaiah Chapter Five, Verse Twenty: "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"
Ecclesiastes Chapter Ten, Verse Two: "A wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man’s heart directs him toward the left."
The Gospel of John, Chapter 8, Verse 12: "...I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in ... darkness ...." ✝
I was raised in a Christian home and would consider myself a (born again) Christian. Since working with a JW years ago I have become fascinated with the differences between us. I don't think anyone has mentioned that clear difference that you have just discussed about the cover not even saying, "Bible". I'm literally shocked at something so obvious too!! Oh and as lovely as the Americans are, hooray someone British. Yay! 😂
I made the same discovery about the NWT. When you consider it was “translated@ by Fred Franz who had 1 year of high school Greek and no studies of Hebrew. Self taught (but not inspired, of course). They continue to tweak their book.
So very true. It's one of those intractable, embarrassing facts that JWs will always evade. In reality, the NWT is just a bastardised copy, altered by a group of uneducated charlatans with an ulterior motive, namely to align it with their nefarious teachings!
Alla 😁😁😁Biglino😁😁😁

Many thanks for this exposing of THEIR abortion of how the Wicked Tower of Sins has distorted the meaning of the "Book of Books".
Not only on the front of the Bible but also how they have rewritten texts.
BLASPHEMY !!
Since leaving JW its identifying the blasphemous beliefs that time and again has disturbed me the most. And their disregard or obliviousness to it. They don’t fear God or know Him but I really wish they did. 😔
That was a good point! It must be because they are afraid to be legally sued!
I recently discovered that they have taken away the pronoun “me” from the book of Zechariah:
“They will look on me, the one they have pierced” (Zec.12:10). Shame on them! Adding or removing words from the Bible is a pretty serious matter (Rev.22:18-19)! Therefore, this organisation is doomed!
Wow! Thank you for that!
So, what's really happened? Was that added or removed?
A lot of believers await for the God's Judgment and fiercely hate His witnesses...
@@AlexejSvirid
We should have compassion on them and pray on their behalf to be released from false religion, since most of them do not know, that they are being deceived! Main stream Christian denominations practice openly idolatry, while the WT is cleverly concealing it. The Word of God, the Bible, is the only authority to discern false from true!
The ones to be blamed are their leaders!
As Christians and in our indignation, we don’t hate but hope for and await on God’s judgement! Jesus and our Father God are the only ones that can see in the hearts of men and judge with Equity.
Zechariah is of course Old Testament. Most English bibles use the Septuagint as the basis for the Old Testament, which is a Hebrew to Greek to English translation. But the good news is you can easily find the original Hebrew text (or the Tanakh as the Jewish call it... and yes there are still many active Jewish people. Many live in a country called Israel). Online you can find many direct Hebrew to English translations or you can learn Hebrew for yourself and read it. Hebrew text from the Tanakh has never changed and never will. You can't get anymore accurate than the original Hebrew text. And anyone can access it.
Why would JW's need to alter the English translation? No Orthodox Jew will read a Greek translation of the original Hebrew and claim the translation to be better than the original.
Zechariah - Chapter 12:10 - (Hebrew --> English): And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplications. And they shall look to me because of those who have been thrust through [with swords], and they shall mourn over it as one mourns over an only son and shall be in bitterness, therefore, as one is embittered over a firstborn son.
Never noticed ! Wow love it. Thank you
Just like freemasonry holy scriptures instead of holy bible i wonder why
That's because Freemasons see ALL religious text as "holy", including those of Islam, Judaism.
There are verses missing from the NWT as well. They made their version very confusing to the point that the JWs have to depend on the Watchtower publications and the governing body to interpret it for them. It is all about control.
Amazing sister your eyes are open
Thank you so much for Exposing this disgusting Cult
Your rant is truth! And only God's Word is Truth! Jesus! The only way the truth and the life.
I Had Jehovah Witness contacting me a few years ago on the phone, we had some good conversations until she said "hell is just going to the grave, there's not a place with fire you go to for eternity and suffer" I tried to share scriptures and video proving she was not correct and she wound't even begin to listen, all-out refusal. I never talked to her again.
Ježiš bol tam 3dni vtom hrobe aj RKC a protestanti to maju vo verim Boha ....
Great job my friend. 👌
Despite the abomination that is the NWT there are some passages that remain relatively intact in that they point people to our only hope of salvation. Acts 4:10-12 is one such passage.
"let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that in the name of Jesus Christ the Naz·a·reneʹ, whom you executed on a stake but whom God raised up from the dead, by means of him this man stands here healthy in front of you. This is ‘the stone that was treated by you builders as of no account that has become the chief cornerstone.’ FURTHERMORE, THERE IS NO SALVATION IN ANYONE ELSE, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN AMONG MEN BY WHICH WE MUST GET SAVED.”
That excludes Watchtower! 😊

If Anyone preaches a Gospel different from the one the Apostles preached, they are under God's curse.
I recently reread their bible folling my personal anointed walking path and conversations with Yeshua. I was surprised to notice mistranslations of god and messiah, even references of trinity IN THEIR OWN MANIPULATES BOOK!! Ive always had information come to me, as a child it was challenging. As a child in the cult, i always knew the truth, it flows through me from Yeshua with love, i walk with him, things they would say and do to me in that hall, im still working through trauma over, they really tried to break me psychologically, openly telling me they where trying to put hear of god in me, seeing through the activities of lies, manipulation and unfairness gaslit on others, it stood out, Yeshua has always guides me, his love is bliss. I escaped at age of 11 and ran away from home, i shunned the jw parent as i was taught to do.

I remember John 17:3 in the NWT reading "this means everlasting life, taking in knowledge of you the only true God and Jesus Christ"
Yes it did always say that. Because it creates a job for JWs if ‘taking in knowledge’ is inserted - they have a role. To get inbetween man and God. They gladly do everything imaginable to elbow Jesus out of the way. 🙄
They can't legally call it the "Bible" because it's been changed so much. Do you know how many different Bible translation companies are out there? Approx. 10. Each one of them uses the word "Bible" on the cover of their version. Why aren't they Suing each other?
Hello, former JWs! Welcome to the Christian faith! It is WONDERFUL to see so many of you getting free from the Watchtower! I am overjoyed!
Let me recommend a couple of translations for you, which you will find both trustworthy and readable. One is a modern translation, for those who prefer that, and one is an "archaic" English translation, for those who prefer that.
The modern one is the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) which is a careful revision of the New American Standard (NASB) 1995 edition. The interesting thing about the LSB is that instead of using "LORD" in the Old Testament, they use Yahweh (probably the most reasonable guess at His Name in English).
The older one is the Darby translation (JND), done in the 1800s, and they used "Jehovah" for His Name.
Not that any of the ones this dear lady mentioned are BAD, quite the contrary, but I thought you might enjoy a translation that doesn't disguise the Lord's name behind the "LORD" used by most translations.
I appreciate your recommendations. I’ve come to realise the exact pronunciation is hidden for a reason - the fact being the name that saves is of course Jesus Christ the Nazarene. So really that needs to be the focus. Obsessing about the tetragrammaton is a distraction technique from the good news about Jesus Christ that saves. Really Witnesses should be Witnesses of JESUS not Jehovah.
@@faithhopefuturewitnesses makes the name of Jesus be like is about Jehovah,but the name of Jesus means the Lord saves and that Lord is Jesus,even though we know the bible also refer to Jesus as Jehovah but the WT deny that,whenever they say Jehovah we know they talk about the Father only
@@faithhopefuture Yes, there are some people who think that we have to have the correct pronunciation in order to be saved. This is sad folly. We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ, a PERSON, not by correctly vibrating the air in a certain pattern.
If the pronunciation were critical, God would have seen to it that we have certain knowledge of it. We don't!
But we DO have certain knowledge of "the man Christ Jesus!" (1 Tim 2:5), ""who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. " (Rom 9:5)
@@faithhopefutureI agree! “Stand still and know that I am God.” This is good enough for me. God is GOD. His Name too Holy, as far as I am concerned, to be uttered and then possibly desecrated by man. Jesus became flesh and dwelt among us and I am fine with calling my Lord and my God Jesus, His earthly Name in my language. I would not fathom repeating the Father’s Heavenly Name. When Paul was taken up to the Third Heaven, he could not put into words the things he heard there.
In fact, it was not allowed.
Good observation
Speak facts, not feelings.
With respect, under what premise can they be taken to court for printing the word "bible" on the NWT?
Thank you for this video❤❤❤
" They changed it so much that they can't confidently print the word "Bible" on the cover. " You're joking, right? Do you know how many times they changed stuff up in the "Holy Bible" ?
Most of JW teachings, a normal person who read the Bible would not come to the conclusion as the JWs. That’s why you have to study with them so that their interpretations can become embedded in you.
This alone should show people that they need to run as fast as possible away from them.

The English word Bible is derived from Koinē Greek: τὰ βιβλία, romanized: ta biblia, meaning "the books" (singular βιβλίον, biblion).[2] The word βιβλίον itself had the literal meaning of "scroll" and came to be used as the ordinary word for "book".
and yes, the ' Books " are in there lol
I guess the "translation committee” should have called it : The New World Order translation of the Unholy Scriptures, i mean, if they were trying to be accurate here. Alternate title: The Rusted Silver Sword.
😁😁😁traduzione= *tradimento!!*
Thank you for that information, God bless you, ❤
Never thought about that while I was a witness! Thank you for the info!!
They can’t be sued for calling it the Bible. Let’s be honest when speaking about this topic.
That's what i thought.
Perhaps not in earthly courts but what matters is the courts of heaven. It’s intentionally misleading either way.
@@faithhopefuture That being said i find it extremely concerning that they would make a change such as that, it may seem little more than a name change but it is far more than that, “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
Watchtower are masters of manipulation.2 Corinthians 11:13-15 sums them up.
@StanslaMichael problem there is that "bible" is the added word, made up way after redaction.
The text refers to itself as "scripture" or scroll, so your argument is saying jws are right...
Its an interpretation and contradicts their own greek interlinier
The english word "Bible" came from the word Ta biblia (Koine Greek) Which simply means "The Books". The word "Scriptures" Simply means a body of writings Considered Sacred. So it doesn't matter if you call it "The Holy Bible", or "The Holy Scriptures".
Holy Bible always has been the title of this wonderful book.
Her point is that it has the word "scriptures" and not Bible
Best seller in "cult class".
@@astarajarvis9965dai è la stessa cosa...
Bang on! I noticed that as a child and thought it was odd.
Great catch!! Thank you for sharing this!
You want to talk about how the witnesses "took away" the doctrine of the trinity in their Bible. To be honest, they didn't Change or take away anything having to do with the trinity. Jesus or the disciples never taught it in the first place. The Trinity doctrine started Centuries later at the council of Nicaea in 325 CE with Emporer Constantine. He added that which didn't belong in the bible. The doctrine of the trinity.
Hi Samantha. What was the 'Bible' called, before it was called the 'Bible'?
Sacre Scritture/ o la... Parola!!
@@PaoloVolpeFireFox 👍
Most do not even carry a proper book. It's all online so they probably don't even know what the front looks like. ❤
3. God's God
A very serious problem with the Trinitarian translation is the resulting implications of their translation.
"But to the Son, [God] says, Your throne, 'O God, is forever and ever. The sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of your kingdom/kingship. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your partners.'" (Hebrews 1:8-9)
The result of this translation is that God has a God and God's God anoints God so that God's God would make God to be above God's peers. It's unbelievably ludicrous in multiple ways.
Even further, if we follow the "O God" translation to it's logical conclusion, we have even more preposterous consequences. Consider verses such as Psalm 43:4, "I shall praise You, O God, my God." In Scripture, when anyone addresses the God of Israel as "O God" it means they are acknowledging that the addressee is their God. For this reason, it is absurd to suggest God the Father would address anyone as "O God" since it would imply the son is the Father's God.
The Trinitarian translation results in a situation where God addressed someone else as God and then says that God's God anoints God so that God will be above God's peers. Let the reader appreciate the utter implausibility of such a claim.
4. Translation Inconsistency
Another problem with the Trinitarian claim is translation inconsistency. At Hebrews 1:8-9, the Greek term ho theos ("the god") occurs three times. The term ho theos ("the God") is the usual Greek way of referring to God in the Bible and our English word "God" without the article is the normal way to translate this Greek term with the understanding that capital "G" God is an English way of referring to "the God" (although we sometimes translate it as "the God"). Trinitarians inconsistently translate ho theos as "O God" in verse 8 but as "God" in verse 9. More technically, they are inconsistently interpreting ho theos as "O God" in verse 8 but as "the God" in verse 9.
Your throne ho theos to the age of the age
A scepter of righteousness the scepter of your Kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness
Therefore ho theos, ho theos of you, has anointed You With the oil of gladness above your fellows.
Now observe how Trinitarian translators interpret/translate ho theos in one way at verse 8 but another way in verse 9.
Your throne O God to the age of the age
A scepter of righteousness the scepter of your Kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness
Therefore the God, the God of you, has anointed You With the oil of gladness above your fellows.
The Greek term ho theos normally means "the God" but Trinitarians would have it that here it means "O God." But there is no reason to translate this Greek term in this manner except to promote a man-made tradition, that is, the doctrine of the Trinity.
It should be clear to every reasonable person that the above facts demonstrate that something is very amiss about Trinitarian claims concerning Hebrews 1:8-9 (Psalm 45:6-7). Trinitarians admit that "Your throne is God" is a grammatically viable translation. Some also confess it also makes contextual sense. And their standard objection to this translation is based on a naïve presumption. Hebrews 1:8-9 quotes Psalm 45:6-7 which is about an ancient Davidic King on his wedding day. If these words identify Jesus as "God" then they also identify another human being as "God" who lived hundreds of years before Jesus. And if Jesus is being identified as God, then the Father is being identified as God's God which is ridiculous. The implications of the "O God" rendering catapults the passage into absurdity. By definition, God cannot have someone else as his God when there is only one God. And again, it is also clear that Trinitarians are inconsistently translating ho theos in two different ways within this selfsame passage. Even further, it is clear that this chapter is about a man who became superior to the angels (1:4) not the one God who always is/was superior to His angels. Facts like these show us that the Trinitarian claim is based on spin rather than facts.
Thank you for sharing this video!
In the end it doesnt matter, because all bibles are from ancient men claiming experiences with God rather than God himself speaking to humanity. If one studies the bible neutrally without any prior religious bias it becomes far more reasonable to believe this than an omnipotent omnibenevolent , all seeing being- which we cannot prove. Why would he reveal himself in such fashion? Look at all the confusion, division and evil that has come about through the bible. Just that shows it is not truth, certainly not from a loving God who would want to make truth plain to his creation.
I guess it depends how you are reading it. Thanks for sharing.
@@faithhopefutureyes and that is the problem! its how other protestants and a multitiude of other faiths read it; also arriving at many abborations! all the while claiming to have gods true church. Who are you to say they are reading it wrong? It shouldnt be a matter of just reading, but of experience, surely the God of the universe can communicate clearly and consistently

Seems like a major stretch. It's more likely that they put "Holy Scriptures " instead of "Bible" on the front for the same reason it's a "Kingdom Hall" instead of church, "elder" instead of bishop, "Christian Greek scriptures" instead of new testament etc; to appear different from other Christians.
They self-identify as Christians but they don’t fulfill the Bible’s criteria. Thanks for highlighting this trend to reject everything traditionally associated with a Christian faith. I will put out more content on this.
@@faithhopefuture looking forward to it! It's always good to find another exjw who found Christ.
As for the Bible itself, who chose what was going to be part of it when it was first compiled, and why?
They would get disfellowship for using ANY thing else but what they offer.
Well said! 🙋
Scriptures is the same as holy bible think you lost the plot
This is a very interesting observation. I googled, “Are scriptures only found in the Bible” and the answer surprised me…
Scripture can be sacred writings, based on Christianity or another religion.
The witnesses preach “another gospel”, so scriptures representative of another religion is appropriate.
Thanks for that point. One that's slipped under my radar!
I think 🤔 you lost the plot scripture is the bibles
Wow! I never thought about this you are right particularly John 1:1 and also sometimes the Holy Spirit is He sometimes It, inconsistent at best, false and twisted at worst!
John 1 v 1 is correct there are 234 bibles that say the word was a god here why Ton Theon is for the father Jehovah then you have Theos witch it says the word was with God ton Theon and the word was Theos a god ? If you need more proof check Jehovah’s Witnesses on film he covers these subjects ?

Quick question.. the Spanish version does say "La Biblia" on the cover ("The Bible") ... What are your thoughts?
Thanks for your comment. Please see pinned response as a few have raised this point.
Not sure about this point. I'm from France and the word "bible" appears on the new world translation grey cover. Same thing in spanish. Who would prevent any organization to put the word bible on their translation ?
I’m aware in other languages they use the word ‘Bible’ but I still smell a rat with the original English NWT lack of definition as an actual ‘Bible’. Make it make sense!
What Bible do you have? Coz I have the same one as sis! WOW
It's not a translation it's a distortion. !!

A 7th non-Witness scholar gives a favourable review of the New World Translation. Professor Thomas N. Winter, Associate Professor of Greek in Classics and Religious Studies at University of Nebraska Lincoln wrote: “The translation by the anonymous committee is thoroughly up-to-date and consistently accurate.”-The Classical Journal, April-May 1974, page 376.
Are they actual scholars? Or, experts that aren't like you claim they are.
"The... accurute."
Except, it's not up-to-date, or consistently-accurate as most scholars have shown.
"Well, as a backdrop, I was disturbed because they (Watchtower) had misquoted me in support of their translation." (These words were excerpted from the tape, "Martin and Julius Mantey on The New World Translation", Mantey is quoted on pages 1158-1159 of the Kingdom interlinear Translation)
Dr. Ernest C. Colwell (University of Chicago): "A definite predicate nominative has the article when it follows the verb; it does not have the article when it precedes the verb; . . .this statement cannot be regarded as strange in the prologue of the gospel which reaches its climax in the confession of Thomas. `My Lord and my God.' " John 20:28
He's Unitarian.
On John 17:3 a number of scholars note that the sense of the word used in the original Greek involves something more, a continuous process, one that may even lead to intimate acquaintance with another.
“GINŌSKŌ (γινώσκω) signifies to be taking in knowledge, to come to know, recognize, understand, or to understand completely.” (Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, W. E. Vine) James Hope Moulton states: “The present simplex, γινώσκειν, is durative, ‘to be taking in knowledge.’”-A Grammar of New Testament Greek.
A Grammatical Analysis of the Greek New Testament explains gi·no′sko as it appears at John 17:3 as “implying a continuous process.” A further comment on this Greek word appears in Word Studies in the New Testament, by Marvin R. Vincent. This says: “Eternal life consists in knowledge, or rather the pursuit of knowledge, since the present tense marks a continuance, a progressive perception.” (Italics his.) A. T. Robertson’s Word Pictures in the New Testament suggests translating the word “should keep on knowing.”
Therefore, in the original Greek, Jesus’ words at John 17:3 imply continuous effort to get to know the true God and his Son, Jesus Christ, and this is well brought out in the rendering of the New World Translation.
"this is well brought out in the rendering of the New World Translation."
Nope.

Interested whats your thoughts on their 'A Lost Bible Translation Rediscovered' video?
1:06 -- lady, the Bible is a public-domain document. This means that in principle, anyone can re-edit it exactly as they please, maybe even grossly distort it, and yet nobody could ever SUE them if they published the resulting text with "Bible" on the cover. In Western democracies at least, no secular court could ever ban the publication of any Bible version on the grounds of it being "inaccurate" or even deliberately altered. In the name of free speech, any publisher can alter it all they like without breaking any laws. Informed people wouldn't take such a "Bible" seriously, that is all.
This is about the dumbest explanation I heard why it says “Holy Scriptures”. Bible simply means “little books” and it’s a collection of them. No one can sue anyone for using Bible if they disagree with their theology. That’s ridiculous. They are the sacred holy scriptures that God’s word contains and can rightly be called that whether you agree with the witnesses or not.
They'd get sued if they called it a bible. That's a really good point!
Who would sue them? The Bible police? 😆
Actually, they refer to the NWT as the Bible many times. There are also several Bible versions that do not use the anglicized transliteration of "Biblos" in their titles, hence the argument is flawed.
No, Jehovah's Witnesses cannot be sued simply for calling their translation of the Bible "The Holy Bible." This designation is not unique or trademarked, and many different translations of the Bible use this title. As long as the translation is presented accurately as their interpretation and translation of the original texts, it is within their religious and free speech rights to call it "The Holy Bible." Chatgpt

5:17 - If We're taking in Knowledge we're going to need some handy publications from the watchtower. Funny you should mention that. Why don't we also bring up the fact that Christians also use publications such as the our daily bread, strong's Concordance, and other bible study guides found online and in Christian bookstores.
I have cousins who were jehovah witnesses since the 1970's and I don't know if they are still in it.But they sure missed out on Christmas holidays and birthdays that they don't celebrate.
The Holy Bible is a collection of (Holy) books containing (The) Holy scriptures. I don't see how naming a Bible or naming it Holy Scriptures incriminate The Watchtower of falsifying the Bible.
I do agree they have "modernized" some parts of the Bible texts and some may argue that it has been changed. Technically speaking, yes, it was "changed."
They have also added (or brought it back to their original places in the Holy Scriptures) God's Holy name, The Tetragrammaton (יהוה), and translated to an acceptable and pronounceable version of His name : Jehovah. Other translations and/or religions use the Yahweh version, which is also popular.
Nobody knows for certain the traditional. original and correct pronunciation of God's name.
You are right about the fact that The Bible is all we need to accept as the inspired word of God. True Christians should rely on Holy Spirit, who gives the spiritual gift of discernment.
All other publications from various religions are merely helping tools to facilitate further understanding of laws, principles and commandments and should not be considered as an authority above the teachings of the Bible.
I don't endorse the Watchtower Tract Society or any other religion. This is solely my understanding during my studies on human religions and research about the Jehovah's Witnesses organization, which was very limited at the time.
