  • čas přidán 15. 08. 2024
  • It’s been one year since Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide adjusted their hallmark methods of sharing comfort and hope from the scriptures due to the pandemic, and that includes more than 3,000 Witnesses at congregations in the greater New Orleans area.
    For many, the change from ringing doorbells and knocking on doors to making phone calls and writing letters expanded and invigorated their ministry.
    For more information on the activities of Jehovah’s Witnesses, visit their website jw.org, with content available in over 1,000 languages.

    I think this was an excellent interview by our dear brother. Nothing can separate me from the love I have for Jehovah and Jesus, absolutely nothing. I have too much love for people in my heart for people and refuse to entertain any negative comments about the organization. Jehovah saved my life and I will spend my entire life dedicating it to Him. I tell you one thing though, in reading some of the negative comments, you can tell we are deep in the last days. But Jesus said the last days would be like the days of Noah where the flood came and they "took no note". This is very true. We will be ridiculed until Jehovah brings an end to this wicked system, and I'm fine with that. I love Jehovah and Jesus so much.

      Agree 100%...people don't realize what they're saying "NO" to. Jehovah, and us, his representatives, want to help and warn them before they get caught in this massive clean-up of the Earth. We are not the enemies. So grateful to be here and for whatever reason Jehovah felt sorry for my stupid self and let me know Him.

    LOVE? The leadership of the organization does nothing out of love. It does everything to solidify and protect power and dominance over all. Should the anointed priesthood, the Temple/dwelling of God, answer to men, or to Jesus Christ? (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17:Eph 2:20-22) The apostles are our example.
    “For am I now trying to persuade people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Gal 1:10
    Wt 02/8/1 - “What connection is there between appointed elders and the royal priesthood?
    Good question. It isn’t a compatible connection, but an obvious split to determine who, is to be “ambassadors of Christ”. (2 Cor 5:20)
    “18 Representing the royal priesthood are appointed elders, who serve in positions of responsibility in congregations of Jehovah’s people around the earth.”
    Where did this idea come from? Certainly God would not exchange His appointed priesthood for another “priesthood”, not anointed. He never has. (2 Chron 13:9; 23:6,7; Num 18:7; Ezek 44:6-9) This idea comes from men, to usurp the authority of the spiritually "circumcised" priesthood. (Mal 2:7; 1 Pet 2:10; Rom 2:28,29; 1 John 2:20)
    The Wt continues: “Rather than challenge their authority, we truly appreciate our hardworking elders!”
    What happens if this man-made doctrine of authority is challenged by an anointed one? They are disfellowshipped. (John 16:9; Rev 13:1,2,11,12,15) The GB has given the “Gentile” elder body the authority to spiritually “kill” God’s anointed; “brothers and sisters” in Christ. (1 John 3:10-12) No, there is no love in this organization. (Matt 12:34;24:12) There was no love practiced by the Pharisees when they handed Jesus over to be killed by Gentiles. (Matt 5:20) We have a “man of lawlessness” - elder body, acting as priests. (Matt 24:15; Rev 11:1,2) They have ‘set themselves up’ in the Temple of God, ruling and judging His “living stones”. (2 Thess 2:3,4) As this “man of lawlessness”, they are ‘standing where they do not belong’. (Mark 13:14)
    But of course, their appointment cannot be “challenged”. How many rules and regulations in the organization are open to challenge and debate? None.
    Dan 8:11-13; 11:31
    If we perceive this “trampling”, this “disgusting thing” standing in the holy place, God’s Temple, we are to flee from the organization. (Matt 24:15,16; Rev 18:4-8)

    I was a jehovahs witness and when I was i defended them every time someone called them a cult. I know now that they are a cult. Also when someone who is a witness and they get disfellowship from the congregation then nobody will talk to them because they are disfellowship the Bible clearly says that Jesus ate with sinners they asked him why he said he was here to save people that needed to be saved and the witnesses don't follow that when you are disfellowship they let you attend meetings but you have to sit in the back of the kingdom hall and nobody is allowed to talk with you and maybe after a few months the elders of the congregation will call you in and maybe they will reinstate you back in the congregation. You love people back in to the fold you don't shun them. The Bible concerning the prodigal son he left his parents home went away to do things his family wouldn't approve of comes back home and upon seeing his return they celebrated his return by having a big gathering. His father didn't tell him look I'm not sure your intentions are sincere so go out by the tree and hang out there for a few months and if I feel like you have learned your lesson I will let you back in the home. He didn't do that he was so happy his son returned and they had a big celebration of his return. But jehovahs witnesses doesn't follow that scripture they shun you when you get disfellowship so how is that following what the Bible teaches

Why don't they consider the cleanliness of the congregation and the safety of children?
      If someone is accused of CSA there are many forms of evidence not just eye witnesses, readily available by the authorities.
      Why are child sexual abusers allowed to partake in all levels in the congregation without restraint?

      To the Elders of Jehovah’s Witnesses:
      You didn’t break me, I may have cracked more than a little along the way but you didn’t break me. You separated me from my family, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and neighbours, but you didn’t break me. You made me disconnect from so many but you didn’t break me. You tried to take away my spirit and my opinions and my self worth but still I didn’t break. You had me questioning my belief in not only God but in the very essence of human nature and yet I didn’t break. I was alone and bereft and poor from working menial part-time jobs and still I didn’t break. You took away my belief in goodness and inspiration for quite some years but I wasn’t broken. Today my mind and soul are intact and in harmony, the discord has been replaced with tranquility. The fear and anxiety are all but forgotten. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter and a sister and hopefully a good friend to many, despite your attempts at taking all that away from me for your own selfish desires for power. I still have hairline fractures amongst my porcelain profile and probably always will but for the most part I am healed and smoothing out the rough edges. I no longer live in fear and dread of your power & authority for you hold nothing over me. Truth can be shouted from the rooftops, not doled out to a few in locked down committee rooms, sequestered and is not for sale. Humanity will prevail despite of you not because of you. Goodness and light will continue to thrive even when your façade is long forgotten. You may have left marks on my psyche but you didn’t steal my hope or faith. My value no longer consists of statistics and fakery and the days of my recruiting others into a “straw house” of deceit is long past. My ties to you are severed and I can now breathe in and out without asking for permission. I will never stop speaking out about your lies but they will no longer be my mainstay. The love, fellowship and purpose that you attempted to rob me of for so long are my roots now. They are strong and healthy. So long, farewell and goodbye.
      I outlived your rules and control. I may be damaged, but you didn’t break me!

      Actually sexual immorality is reported among you, and such immorality as is not even found among the nations-of a man living with* his father’s wife 2 And are you proud of it? Should you not rather mourn, so that the man who committed this deed should be taken away from your midst? 3 Although absent in body, I am present in spirit, and I have already judged the man who has done this, as if I were actually with you. 4 When you are gathered together in the name of our Lord Jesus, and knowing that I am with you in spirit along with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 you must hand such a man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. 6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven ferments the whole batch of dough?7 Clear away the old leaven so that you may be a new batch, inasmuch as you are free from ferment. For, indeed, Christ our Passover lambh has been sacrificed. 8 So, then, let us keep the festival, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of badness and wickedness, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.9 In my letter I wrote you to stop keeping company with sexually immoral people, 10 not meaning entirely with the sexually immoral people of this world or the greedy people or extortioners or idolaters. Otherwise, you would actually have to get out of the world. 11 But now I am writing you to stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy personn or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkardo or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. 12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do you not judge those inside, 13 while God judges those outside? “Remove the wicked person from among yourselves.”

    The real truth is not in religion, the real truth is in the heart , the kindness to your fellow man , the truth is when you drop the ego and the judgement on each other . The Bible is a book that is open for interpretation, and nothing to do with religion . The Bible in which is a incomplete book has had over 800 bad translations over the years.Christianity has removed writings from the Bible. If you want to learn the truth. You need to study many different books not just the Bible to have a different perspective of things .. the first thing the jw tell you is not to study any other information or even read any other books Bc you will default from there program. I know bc I was there for many years as a jw and raised until I had many questions they couldn’t answer. It always felt wrong and I was never truly happy there . Something never felt right . But I don’t judge them nor do I support them . But I Iam truly happy ever since Iam not a part of them or there constant fear that they live in . I only have pity for them Bc they don’t know better. Remember government and religion feeds you in constant fear to have control over its people. There cannot be any truth in that . Follow the ascended masters like Jesus and Buddha and many others that came to teach us the way . There’s an awakening happening . The real God above all gods would not put you through fear but only love an compassion. I hope the best for all of you , no matter what your belief is . There are many people through out the world that are beautiful souls , all the answers have always been inside yourself . The Indian middle eastern religions have been practicing there religions for over 8000 thousand years but the jw have been practicing there’s for 100 years and they have it right? 🤔 the math doesn’t fit . Please do your own research study all books not just the Bible ... good luck ..

Really read them, especially about the attitudes of people that will be around in the times of these things. If you read them, you will see they are a perfect description of the people of 2022.

      @Fazzamania I care because I have respect for life. It’s a gift we should protect when it’s in our power to do so. That goes for ourselves and everyone in the communities we live in. We believe in Jesus Christ, which makes us a Christian faith. But I agree, we do believe differently than most all other Christian denominations. But the number of people in other faiths (Muslims, Jews, Christians, etc.) doesn’t have anything to do with us. We don’t expect that everyone will listen. In fact, quite the opposite. We know most people will not listen. We just do what Jesus taught and that’s all we can do.
      And Jehovah didn’t kill people from Covid. He didn’t cause it to happen. It’s just part of the world we live in. So, we do our best to stay safe but obviously it isn’t going to protect everyone. Jehovah promises to reverse this suffering in the future and that is what we are hoping for and looking forward to.

    • @ambermaem1
      @ambermaem1 Před 3 lety +9

      @Fazzamania I’m sorry you are so upset. You must have some history and unresolved issues with this. As I said in my previous message, we do all we can to show respect for life and will do whatever is necessary to protect and save our lives when it’s in our power to do so. We NEVER celebrate death. However, we do draw the line at breaking God’s laws. For example, many of the JWs who died during the Holocaust could have chosen to denounce their faith and be set free by the Nazis, thus, saving their lives. But the vast majority did not do that and many lost their lives for it. They knew that denouncing their faith in Jehovah was worse than death.
      When it comes to the issue of blood, it is our firm belief that blood is sacred to Jehovah and that he does not want us to use it in that way. We don’t eat it or take it into our bodies in any way. If someone were to die because they refused blood, despite all other medical efforts, their death is not celebrated. It is mourned and we are extremely sad about it. What is celebrated is that the person chose to remain faithful even until death and we trust that Jehovah will remember them for it.
      The disfellowshipping arraignment is again something that was directed in the Bible by God and we follow God’s direction on it. It’s not something that is taken lightly and it isn’t done simply because someone disagrees with us.
      I can tell you that all of us are human and sometimes people within our organization can and do make mistakes but most of us are sincerely trying to live our lives the way God wants us to. Nothing I’ve said is a lie and I’ve never found any lies coming from our publications or the direction we’ve been given. If something is proven to be inaccurate, they will publish that correction as well.
      Again, I’m sorry you are upset and I hope you will be able to find some resolution and peace. Have a good night.

Pew Research shows that only 9 percent of Witnesses get undergraduate degrees (well below the US national average of 30.4 percent and the lowest of any faith group). As a result, Jehovah's Witnesses are among the lowest earners of any religious group.

    My alcoholic mother attempted to drown me as a baby, my dad & stepmother abused me, disowned my mixed race daughter at birth, had me jailed & my material banned for five years courtesy of Crown court. All of my belongings were then stolen by family & my daughter’s silence bought in exchange for disowning her dad. My Jehovah’s Witness aunt was also found to be abusing her young son & is still a Witness to this very day whereas I’ve been shunned & have had absolutely everything stripped or stolen from me except my dog. My one & only true friend. This world is a wicked place! 😥

(Luke 22:19,20). doctrine of men or the word of GOD?" observe (John ch 3:16,17) 16-“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever exercises faith in him may not be destroyed but have eternal life. 17-For God did not send his Son into the world that he might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him." observe (John ch 6:53-57) 53- So Jesus said to them, "I say- to you with all certainty: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 - He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I do. I will rise again at the last day, 55- for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56- Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. Just as the Father who lives sent me and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me. the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". notice what Jesus said: Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because they close the kingdom of heaven to men; for you yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are on their way to enter." look at the Conclusion of Jesus (John ch 10: 09,10) 9- I am the door; whoever enters by me will be saved, and will enter and he shall go out, and find pasture.” 10- A thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

Ephesians 4: 4-6 note 4- There is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in a hope to which you were called; 5- one Lord, one faith and one baptism; 6- God, unique and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all.

      Can only think this new shut down policy has another agenda maybe it's the only method to halt the child sex abuse if the offenders no longer have access to children at meetings & gatherings. Seems probably the only method they have of stopping these predators & the subsequent court cases from the victims further down the line.

      @@oliveonthebuses1 The problem is, many times the abuse takes place in the family, so it could make it worse for some children. Of the 3 cases of child sexual abuse I personally knew about growing up a JW, it was always the father, and in 2 cases their father was an elder. One impregnated his own daughter when she was 14 years old. He also made her get an abortion.
      The child abuse problem is so bad in this religion. I thought it was only in my congregation, but now I find out it's a worldwide plague in the JW community. And all the while they were bashing the Catholic church for the same problem. At least the Pope publicly apologized to the victims. The only time the governing body will ever apologize is when they are forced to do so by the government, like they are in Australia. Now that they have joined the redress scheme, they have to apologize and compensate the victims monetarily.

      @@joycew1352 How do you think Jehovah feels when the elders, entrusted as shepherds over the flock, FAIL to report child sexual abuse to the "superior authorities" whom Jehovah has authorised to care for criminal matters? Non reporting is the standard practice even in parts of the world where clergy are mandated reporters. What the organisation does to avoid reporting is to make use of the same loophole that the catholic clergy do. They claim the "clergy penitent privilege". This is based on the sanctity of the confessional and the supposed requirement for confidentiality. So JW elders claim to be clergy when they hear reports of child sexual abuse. Please do some research about this. If you believe elders are instructed to report allegations of child sexual abuse to the authorities then you have a false sense of security and your children may be at risk.

There was also an article in 1969 Awake May 22, page 15, where school age Witnesses were encouraged not to pursue higher education, because according to the Governing Body of idiots, Armageddon was coming soo soon, you might not graduate from college, or university before the end would arrive. Imagine how many dreams were destroyed, by that lie. Some could have gone on to become doctors, lawyers, professional athletes, whatever. Such a shame.

      When I quote from the ‘Reasoning from the Scriptures’ book, 1989 edition, page 200 “; that some who saw the events of 1914 will also see the complete destruction of the present wicked world;” and point out that false teaching had to be abandoned, it’s not slander.

      Correct; our Governing Body saw these times were coming so had already arranged for many congregations to SHARE our very modest structures called Kingdom Halls. So now that we are in a pandemic and presently not using our Halls at all (in co-operation with governmental efforts to reduce community transmission), this is saving funds and maintenance work. But of course, our contributions are far from being 'saved' - every dollar is channelled into disaster relief and on the all-important bible education work Jesus assigned every genuine Christian to continue, particularly in these 'last days'. And the smart way is now thru amazing technology that can reach even remote corners of the globe! Centuries of failed experimentation with human rulership is soon to end; Jehovah's Witnesses are well set to continue their massive education program right thru the spectacular end of this system of things into Almighty God's restored earthly paradise. They are not building up their own careers or material possessions, but living a life of self-sacrifice in order to spend time helping their own fellow citizens. But of course, as in the day of Noah, the majority will not appreciate our efforts. Their choice.

This was done to discredit the deity of Christ.

    Elders are really "company men" who act as human resource agents for the Watchtower organization.
    Remember, human resource agents act only in the best interests of the company.
    Elders search out any who are not loyal to the company, and those who are not actively supporting the policies and mission; as well as, individuals who are not reaching established goals within the corporation.
    All of these individuals threaten the profitability and outward reputation of of the company, and may affect others in the organization.
    When individuals inside of the organization/corporation have learned of hypocritical actions, deceitful policies, or lies regarding the actions of representatives of corporation, departments or heads of the corporation (Governing Body) and begin exposing these...
    Elders (human resource agents of the Watchtower ) are assigned to eliminate or lessen the effects of "whistle blowers" by labeling them "apostates".
    Once they identify an individual as a "whistle blower" they follow well established company rules and actively pursue any threat that may expose secretive practices, hypocrisy, or harmful or illegal actions that may impact company's profitability.
    Elders follow corporation guidelines set forth in the exclusive manual for elders, entitled: "Shepherd the Flock of God" published by the WTBTS.
    1. To become informed as to the level of knowledge and information a potential whistle blower possesses.
    2. Have a formal meeting (Judicial Committee hearing) with them to ascertain the level of dissent or waning support for the organization and threat they pose to the corporation.
    3. Formally put the whistle blower on notice their actions constitute disloyalty to the corporation and they will be "fired" from the company losing all benefits and any ties to other members of the corporation.
    4. During a congregation meeting ( regularly scheduled corporation workshop) announce the "firing" of those who have failed to follow corporate rules.

    Curious how things that were staples of the witnesses - those who set themselves apart standing in in defiance against the pledge of allegiance, celebrating holidays, joining the military etc could be sidelined by a government telling them they have to make this change.
    While you state you go door to door out of love it is a requirement with number hours actually required to be in service. How do you justify this to those who could not meet those requirements for other reasons in the past or those that don't ever want to go back to door to door?? Who is deciding exactly what that guideline and expectation is and where do they get the authority to do so for things of this nature?
    From what this man said I'm sure their numbers for the memorial this year were higher than previously as well. I do have a question about that though..
    When I read the Bible it says to take communion until Jesus christ returns and that at that time is when Jesus will take communion again. - He told the deciples at the last supper that he would not eat or drink of those elements again until his return and that it should be done in remembrance of him until he returns
    So my question is- without even mentioning the who can or cannot take it issue, is if the witnesses believe that Jesus already returned in 1914 when he said the witnesses were the ones on the earth giving truth and then entrusted to be his mouthpiece so to speak for the world, then why are they still doing it?

      Verses 14-19 however give a fuller picture and state that it he will not eat or drink of the vine again until his return - then he tells then to do this in remembrance of him

      @@melissaconway9332At Luke 22:14-18 Jesus and the apostles were celebrating the Passover. Wine in this instance could represent joy (Eccl 10:19;Psalm 104:15). After Judas Iscariot left Jesus instituted the Lord's evening meal which only those who will be resurrected to heaven to rule with Christ for 1,000 years over paradise on earth partake of the bread and wine(Luke 22 vss 19,20;Rev 20:4-6). Jesus' "presence" came at the beginning of the time of the end which is Now (Matt 24:3,7,8,14). So those who have been chosen to rule with Christ in heaven and had died Jesus rejoiced when they have been resurrected to heaven. The Lord's evening meal will continue to be celebrated annually until the end comes and all those chosen to rule with Christ are in heaven and then it won't be celebrated ever again under heavenly kingdom rule in paradise on earth.

      because they thought since jws dont read the BIBLE IN CONTEXT ,then nobody else is doing it also , and as far as who partake of the bread and wine , jws need to read 1 cor 11 IN CONTEXT ,partaking unworthy has nothing to do with whether you are of the 144,000 ,if you read it in CONTEXT ,they were abusing ,the sacredness of the celebration.so jws read the whole letter and not just a couple of sentences,and you will see that you are following matt 7:15 and john 8;44,wtbts only have your donations at heart .1 tim 6:10
