Ex-JW here...I spent most of my life seeking the truth. It wasn't until the JW's were out of my life that I was open to the truth of the Gospel. Now I'm a born again, blood-bought child of the Most High, saved by grace through faith in Jesus' finished work on the cross! Praise God!! Thank you for this video and for your non-judgemental attitude towards the lost believers in JW doctrine. As you stated most of them are truly seeking but mislead by the doctrine of those who are supposed to be teaching us the truth. While I very much believe that it's possible to be saved out of the JW's it's unlikely to be saved in the JW's. JW's is truly a cult as they threaten the loss of your family if you leave a threat, by the way, that they are more than happy to keep.

I showed a friend who was willing something contradictory in their bible and after showing her and her family who later seemed willing our relationship ended. No explanation explanation except that I was a deceptive and that I was making them uncomfortable by questioning their book. It’s been years but I will continue to pray and hope for them.
@@tongakhan230 - Doesn't sound fishy at all. JWs are commanded by the JW masters to read JW materials more than they are the Bible. In fact, they've even admitted in writing that a person cannot arrive at JW beliefs just by reading the Bible.
I used her bible which had an emblem that they use and it had a briefing on the JW religion. She had one Bible that looked like mine but she said it was for school only, we went to a Christian school, and the other book was her church bible. But it wasn’t fishy, she told me that they were ordered to shun her aunt for taking her daughter to Disney World. They weren’t allowed to sing during chapel and my friend snitched on her brother when he mouthed the words to one of the songs. Besides that they were all nice, kind ppl who I feel are mislead but they know the truth so I will continue to pray and hope for them.
@Rise and Cook Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t go to Christian schools. They also don’t use emblems or symbols in there worship. They do use a Watchtower logo on name tags as an identification, but not as part of worship. It does not sound like your friend was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Thanks so much for your insight and research. I’ve been out of the cult for 10 years and research constantly. It is obvious to me when someone knows what they are talking about . . . Or not. You are spot on brother! Thank you!
I feel the same way; I have "friends" and family who are JWS, they too will not respond to questions, defintely not off the cuff. And if u are not a JW , they donot want to be YOUR FRIEND..Family has no choice. But all JWS are close minded to other interpretations.

I have just recently started listening to Be Smart an am truly enjoying the sound Biblical teaching. Keep bringing the unadulterated Word of God to your listeners. Excellent teaching on JW.
Very true. Many JWs didn't know their organisation relegates Christ to the status of angel. Most JWs are also ignorant of their organisations early history, publications and beliefs. There is a reason for this. JWs are discouraged from if not forbidden to make independent examination of these things. JWs will try to argue that Mighty God is not Almighty God yet the page over from that scripture in Isaiah the Mighty God is mentioned as one whom a remnant from Babylon shall return. Which Mighty God is that!
No Corey didn't slam that door, lol. I had opportunity to witness to JW (who thought she was witnessing to me) as we went through the bible together to discuss key points surrounding salvation and obedience. I began to discover a pattern that the JW woman literally had a blindness regarding scriptures' that illuminated how God's grace inspires, empowers, corrects, convicts, and sustains the sustain believer. I would purposely choose scriptures that more clearly showed the interaction between grace as it works in faith and obedience, but she couldn't see it (without my guidance) and would only focus on the works of the believer. That's when I realized that the Holy Spirit was aiding me in understanding that I needed to focus more on GRACE when witnessing to a JW rather than always trying to argue key Gospel truths such as "Jesus is God". They are used to those arguments in defending their faith so they have many scripted responses. Because JW is a works based religion, I got how God was leading me in this particular witness. This grace-based method of approach garnered a breakthrough because the woman was at a lost for (scripted) words and could not refute what I was showing her as the difference between her understanding of how one receives and "maintains" salvation and what scripture (even within her own doctored translation) clearly reveals. She eventually did the usual thing JWs do when they must think independently . . . she stated that she would need to do some more research and would get back with me. Of course she didn't, but I have always hoped that the Holy Spirit continued to spiritually open her eyes. ISAIAH 55:8-11 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it Yes, JWs must eventually fully understand who Jesus is and why only He is able to save us. But we don't always have to start there. Our planting and/or watering seeds of truth concerning God's grace is also how the Holy Spirit can begin to draw and illuminate those deceived by a works based religion.
You are a JW’s least favorite call when they go door to door. When they realize that you know Gods Word, they automatically put you in the “goat” catagory. You are “hard hearted” or not “honest hearted”. I grew up with those conversations every Saturday morning walking down the neighborhood sidewalks. Sorry for rambling. Your message hit home this morning. Thank you
I agree @Super EXJW For real-- I recall when I first began going out in field service, there was a man who when he saw the jw's coming, he would sit on his porch with his Bible open, just waiting on them to get to his house. I was told that he just wanted to debate and to not get into conversation with him. I surmise now that the man most likely knew the Bible more than the witnesses and that was their way or avoiding engaging with him. Witnesses only want to start Bible studies with their literature to make another money giving witness to the governing body. There's no real interest in having a real Bible conversation because they are not taught to do that.

As regarding "logic". it is something that can be interpreted differently from one person to another and this is why we have science to put a theory or idea to the test by attempting to falsify it. The idea of God is an attempt by man[sometime in the distant past] to explain how the universe. There can be no proof such an entity exists at all.

I have great passion for JWs and I love their passion towards what they believe. I call them a Saul before they become Paul. As Christians can we come up with a group where we teach like they do but learn how to talk to them about the truth Gospel. Because truth be told they are alot of believe they are serving God and they are so passionate about it.
@Schibert Chilambe No one will be able to teach like Jehovah’s Witnesses because others don’t have the truth of what the Bible teaches and don’t have God’s holy spirit. The reason JWs have such a United world wide brotherhood is because they have the truth and show the love which Jesus said would be one of the identifying marks of his people. John 13:35 “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” Love for God and neighbor is the only thing that gives JWs the strength to regularly go out and teach people about God’s Kingdom and what it means for us. That is the theme of the Bible, which most people are never taught.
@@watchman8644 The theme of the Bible is Christ. Witnesses neither believe in nor use the Bible, the Bible will not support their beliefs. The Scriptures DO NOT testify of a god named "Jehovah." The Scriptures testify of CHRIST. "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life. THESE ARE THEY WHICH TESTIFY OF ME." Jn.5:39 All scripture is of the Christ, and comes from Christ. The prophets prophecied by the Spirit of CHRIST who was in them. "Of this salvation THE PROPHETS have inquired and searched carefully, who prophecied of the grace that would come to you, searching what time, or what manner of time, THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST WHO WAS IN THEM was indicating when HE TESTIFIED BEFOREHAND the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow." 1.Pet.1:10,11 The prophets did NOT prophecy by the spirit of the god of Watchtower. The testimony of Jesus IS the Spirit of prophecy. "See that you do not do that! For I am your fellow servant and of your brethren WHO HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS. Worship God! FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. Rev.19:10 The TESTIMONY OF "JEHOVAH" is NOT the Spirit of prophecy. Our Scriptures testify of Christ. NWT testify of creature god "Jehovah" of Watchtower.
If some of you on here don’t know who Ignatius is he was a student of John the apostle along with a man by the name of polycarp. Now this is Ignatius speaking listen to him very carefully. IGNATIUS [A.D. 30-107] Ignatius is one of the earliest church fathers whose writings have been preserved. His correspondence has a genuinely pastoral, New Testament epistle-type flavor since the bulk of his extant writings are specifically addressed to churches in a manner similar to Paul. Quotations from Paul’s epistles in the New Testament comprise more of his writing than his own thoughts on almost any given subject. He viewed the Father as “the one true God.” In the same vein, he also stated that whoever “declares that there is but one God, only so as to take away the divinity of Christ, is a devil.” In his Epistle to the Magnesians, Ignatius briefly references a view of the Godhead, perhaps even within the time of the writing of the New Testament. “Study, therefore, to be established in the doctrines of the Lord and the apostles, that so all things, whatsoever ye do, may prosper both in the flesh and spirit; in faith and love; in the Son, and in the Father, and in the Spirit. . . . Be ye subject to the bishop, and to one another, as Jesus Christ to the Father, according to the flesh, and the apostles to Christ, and to the Father, and to the Spirit.” While not directly expounding on the specific relationship between the three persons of the Godhead, it is obvious that Ignatius intended to communicate that their unique roles were distinct and equally important in the lives of believers. With such a pastoral flavor, Ignatius did not seem to delineate a specific doctrinal position. Rather, he focused on integrating God into life on the practical level, so that no aspect of the Godhead was ignored or neglected. Obviously, the church understood early on that there were inseparable elements which bound the Father, Son, and Spirit together as unity, or as a unit, while still distinguishing them as individuals. Yet, Ignatius notes that Christ submitted Himself to the Father willingly, just as Christians should to those who have been given authority over them. By examining all the epistles Ignatius wrote to the different churches, small pieces of his broader theology emerge. Ignatius clearly notes the importance of the Father, Son, and Spirit, but he also details that Christ was completely God: “To the church . . . elected through the true passion by the will of the Father, and Jesus Christ our God.” “For our God, Jesus Christ was, according to appointment of God conceived in the womb of Mary . . . God Himself being manifested in human form for the renewal of eternal life.” Christ’s deity is seen early on in the church and is a key element around which many heresies arise due to misinterpretation or misunderstanding. stones of the temple of the Father, prepared for the building of God the Father, and drawn up on high by the instrument of Jesus Christ, which is the cross, making use of the Holy Spirit as a rope, while your faith was the means by which you ascended. Here the three persons are intricately woven together, and yet distinctly recognized, as Ignatius notes that “there are not then either three Fathers, or three Sons, or three Paracletes, but one Father, and one Son, and one Paraclete . . . into three possessed of equal honor.” While this is not formed in the same organized manner found in later creeds, Ignatius clearly places an emphasis on the Father and the Son, and does not neglect the role of the Spirit. Clement Ave Alexandria said this about who Jesus is But our Instructor is the holy God Jesus, the Word, who is the guide of all humanity. The loving God Himself is our Instructor. Now, O you, my children, our Instructor is like His Father God, whose son He is, sinless, blameless, and with a soul devoid of passion; God in the form of man, stainless, the minister of His Father’s will, the Word who is God, who is in the Father, who is at the Father’s right hand, and with the form of God is God.”2 So the Word is God but is also distinct from the Father. He then goes on later to say this The holy and loving God, Jesus, is the God who provided for the people in the wilderness. He is the God who brought them out of Egypt and who made the covenant with Abraham. According to Clement, Jesus is none other than Jehovah God. Though Jesus is distinct from the Father, we are not talking about two Gods but one. Note that he said, “The Lord alone led them, and there was no strange god among them.” The only true God is both the Father and the Son.Clement thus argues here that Jesus Christ is the divine Word. He explains that this Word was not only there in the beginning, but before the beginning! He is thus rather explicit that the Word is eternal. The Word is also described as being the Creator of all things, and is plainly called God, though He is also described as being “in God” and “with God,” thus again avoiding the idea that the Word exhausts all that God is. He explains that when the Word came to us as Jesus Christ, He was both God and Man. He returns to this again later in the book, declaring: “Assuming the character of man, and fashioning Himself in flesh, He enacted the drama of human salvation: for He was a true champion and a fellow champion with the creature. And being communicated most speedily to men, having dawned from His Father’s counsel quicker than the sun, with the most perfect ease He made God shine on us. Whence He was and what He was, He showed by what He taught and exhibited, manifesting Himself as the Herald of the Covenant, the Reconciler, our Savior, the Word, the Fount of life, the Giver of peace, diffused over the whole face of the earth; by whom, so to speak, the universe has already become an ocean of blessings.”6 By “assuming the character of a man and fashioning Himself in flesh,” the Word became a man to bring about our salvation. The Word is a champion with the creature. The uncreated enters into creation and comes alongside the created being to save him. He did not cease to be God, but rather He “made God to shine on us.” How? “Whence He was and what He was He showed by what He taught and exhibited.” The Word revealed God because the Word is God. As Clement also wrote in “The Instructor,” Chapter 3: “The Lord ministers all good and all help, both as Man and as God.”7 This is the biblical doctrine of the deity of Christ and the incarnation, which the Watchtower was mistakenly (or deceitfully) hoping to wield Clement’s words to deny. Clement of Alexandria is instead just another one of the many examples of early Christians who believed and wrote about these biblical truths in the earliest period of Christian history. It also shows the Watchtower writers once again to be either incompetent or duplicitous in their handling of this subject matter.
@Jeremiah Rowe Sr. According to Galatians 2:4 there were already false brothers teaching wrong things during the first century. You can add your Ignatius to that list.
I hear you brother and you are correct. I have friends that are Jehovah's witnesses. Even though you are correct, your questions for them only works for people who really want to know the truth and are willing to change if their beliefs don't match the truth. Even if I reasoned like you did with them. They still will dance around it. Because ultimately, they are not looking for the ultimate truth, they are looking to defend their position no matter how much they have to rationalize and dance around my questions. It's kind of the same thing with people in politics. Personally, I don't support either republican or democratic candidates because I see them both as corrupt, but that's besides the point I want to make. The point in this instance is that weather people support their "republican" or "democratic" candidate, no matter what evidence you point to that their candidate is lying and untrustworthy, they won't hear it and they will go out of their way to justify it even if I point out absolute evidence their candidate has lied.
You said "they are looking to defend their position no matter how much they have to rationalize and dance around my questions." Perhaps they think the same of you. The Bible is the touchstone. What if what you are trying to teach is not what the Bible is actually saying?

Well done for breaking away from the shackles that they put you in. Atheism is a natural state, I bet you feel well and truly emancipated. Jehovah's Witnesses are certainly a laughing stock NOW, after all their futile prediction dates for Armageddon. Was their last date 1984, not sure but maybe they made a few predictions since then as well. Yet, some people are still taken in by them as they continue spreading a load of BS.
Research Johannes Greber, he was an ex-Catholic Priest who do spiritual séance with demon spirits who inspired him to rewrite John 1:1 denying Jesus’ deity. JW’s paid him to use his Bibles. They also lied about Greek writers supporting their translation.
This is the 21st Century. People can get scammed. But to remain scammed is inexcusable unless done by choice. Check Wikipedia which QUOTES tons of translations which word it properly 'and the Word was a god'. John who wrote that also wrote 'No man has SEEN God at ANY TIME.' - 1 John 4:12,20. Jesus had been SEEN. What does that logically mean??

I'm not trying to swell your head with pride, I thank God that He will always raise godly men like Jeremiah and others to teach God's word. In my time of studying God's Word I notice that only two people when they make a mistake on teaching God's Word they acknowledge their mistakes. God bless.

@@tongakhan230 - You are quite wrong, and here's why and how that's true - Christ's own words regarding Himself: Here is John 14:8-9: 8 Philip said to him: “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him: “Even after I have been with you men for such a long time, Philip, have you not come to know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How is it you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Question: Who is "the Father"? What/Who is being referred to by that phrase? Obvious Answer: God Himself. Considering the context of who and what Philip is - a Jew - There is no other honest way to understand the phrase in Philip's request. This is not refutable. Jesus, knowing full well who and what Philip is and the only possible meaning to his request, straightforwardly tells Philip, "If you've seen Me, you've seen Him. If you've seen me, you've seen God Himself." There is no other honest way to take that answer. Jesus Christ openly declares that seeing Him = Seeing God Himself. JWs say that Jesus is Michael the archangel. No, that doesn't work, and it doesn't work BIG TIME. Here's why that's true: Michael's name means "Who Is Like God?" Obvious answer: NO ONE. There is NO way that Michael would have made the claim for himself that Jesus makes in verse 9. He would have been... a) going directly against the meaning of his own name, and b) committing blasphemy. Add to this the fact that there is no verse in the Bible that states that Jesus is really Michael. Add to this the fact that the Father openly and directly calls the Son “God” in Heb. 1:8 And there are plenty of other Scriptures that show and prove the Deity of Christ.
Who said Jesus and the Father are the same person. Jesus is the Son not the Father. How can a father and son be the same person. God is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are 3 separate persons..

However, a understanding of the organizations claim to fame which are the reasons why they say they have the truth. Ie. Neutrality, door to door ministry, refuse blood, United(being taught the same thing all over the world), love amongst themselves, use Jehovah, etc. Must don't know that the organization since the beginning have not been neutral, the apostles didn't go door to door, are apart of the UN till this day who is the wild beast in rev, the org being investigated for child sexual abuse, and their money going to paying victims, the governing body members lying on video in court under oath.

More being apart of the PIMO (physically in mentally out) community theses are the things that wake up the majority. Using the org own words against them using the WT magazines and books, past and current. Teaching them is much different than simply teaching someone from the Bible who isn't in a cult, a normal person. That isn't too day you can't use the Bible, must of these things can be shown from the Bible, like the blood issue, false prophets etc. But the key is to demolish their delusion of being different. It's sad...
Towards the end of the video, I had to pause it to give you like a two minute round of applause and compliment Jesus on His work with you😅 This is spectacular! You've done an amazing job here. My mother is still in the cult, and it feels like I can't get anywhere with her. Please pray with me that she'll leave this cult and be born again. She claims to have read the Bible over 50 times, and doesn't seem to know what being born again is, and doesn't even know who Jesus is (she said He was Michael several days ago, and then said she wasn't sure and would have to look it up.. How could she still be so confused?!)... It breaks my heart daily. I just want to be with her for eternity, she's been the best mother I could ask for. God bless you in Jesus' name❤
So he begins with an ad hominem (cult)? Couldn't the Jews have said the same of the 1st century Christians? The fact is, according to the general definition of "cult", all religions can be considered as "cults". But today it is used in a derogatory way to dismiss others. And the next ad hominem, "a snake oil sales man". Miracle wheat was paramount to a churches bake sale. Russell did not name it nor did it have anything to do with his ministry, or efforts to understand the truth. These tactics are dishonest.
4:42 JW do not claim it is a sin to not call him that. But the fact is, God has a name. If you love God, and claim to know Him, don't you think you should know His name? In fact Jesus' name means "Jehovah is salvation".
Yeah they are very argumentative.... and won’t let others interject on any subjects ... it’s sad that a lot of ppl are being mislead by leaders ... the blind leading the blind ... I pray God bring them to the saving knowledge of the truth ..as the truth is in Jesus .....who himself said that he is the way the life and the truth ..John 14:6
Can you tell me what you think about 7 day Adventist ? I can’t find much error from this one man I listen to his name is Walter Veith on Amazing Discovery. I’d like to know if they are for real or a cult ? Hope you can tell me.
Hebrews 1 refutes the Trinity 7 times. There is no support anywhere in scripture for the Trinity. The Trinity comes from ancient Babylon and has no place in Christianity, and it never will.
Thank you brother for those scriptures. Can u speak to Matthew 24: 45 - 51. Is this scriptures for leaders of sect or for everyone? As JW are telling me it's for the annointed brothers.
When Jesus was on the cross and he said forgive them for they know not what they do what is he talking to himself? No he was talking to a separate person God his father
"I have a moment for sure! Please come in and let me give you some coffee/tea/juice and snacks. Please don't ever think you'll leave with success of converting me... that will NEVER happen. However, we can be friends and Id feel happy if thats the case. I'd love that. I'll respect you're faith and hopefully you respect mine. My faith is in Jesus, the lord and savior. Have a good day 💓"
I'm going to make one thing clear here. Latter-day Saints aka "Mormons" are nothing like Jehovah's Witnesses. We do listen to the opinions of others and discuss it with them.
I had jw forced on me until age 16 when i told dad No More. You are spot on in the video as i have watched dad & his bretheren jump from scripture to scripture arguing their beliefs until other people are blue in the face. I attend a baptist church & im pretty knowledgeable of the bible. Ive actually felt the Holy Spirit 7 times which i'll share if anyone wants to ask about. But i have 2 jws from another video that refuse to hear anything i say and keep using the same jw tactics to run from 1 argument to the next. Im tired of talking to them at this point. Some jws you absolutely cannot reach no matter how many times you sink their argument. But you sir are spot on and i enjoyed the video.
I would say it’s close to impossible for somebody born in the religion to have a saving faith in Jesus simply because they think that Jesus is micheal the archangel etc, a Jesus that can’t save. I could comprehend somebody getting saved outside of the religion and then getting swept in before the realize it isn’t really Christian, but they would be staying long if that’s the case. They make their doctrine known QUICK. You have to study a book with a teacher entitled what the Bible really teaches before you get baptized. In my 22 years as a JW, knowing what I know now after being saved by Jesus Christ ALONE, I never knew somebody in the religion who had a saving faith or a real understanding of sin, or who Jesus is. God bless!
Good Day my brother. Help me to understand what you are saying. Are you saying a Jehovah witness can be a Christian and still be in a cult? How can that be when they don’t believe in The Body Resurrection of Jesus Christ? If a jw, Mormon, Muslim , etc don’t believe in in The Body Resurrection of Jesus Christ there is no hope. Thank you Sir.
I talked to a lady who was a JW and she was so mean! If I didn’t believe Jesus to be God, I would have been turned off being a JW. We talked about The Bible and she was very dead set on her only reading their Bible and saying that she reads nothing outside it then told me she reads the watchtower stuff…. She would yell at her students but told me she was a changed person… it was very clear that a lot if what she told me, it was based on her being confused.
@William Bishop Yes, free from false teachings like the trinity. Free from the corruption of churches over the last several centuries. Free from Satan’s lies about the true God Jehovah, who he does not want anyone to know.
Ask her why she left the RCC's trinity theory belief in the first place. Many who become JWs used to believe in the trinity and other RCC doctrines. Why did they stop believing? The truth, naturally.
@@dessertsofzion : She could have been raised in a JW environment. That doesn't automatically make someone a JW. Wasn't one also brought up in such an environment? People have to qualify to become one of God's true worshipers as shown in the prophecy about these last days found at Micah 4:1-5.
That’s why there are not that many of them anymore. Family tradition is there strength, not to many people going to believe the mess that they deal with.
That is a good joke. Sorry! People run and hide from Jesus' true disciples because they cannot refute any of their teachings using the Bible. Why did the Jews fear Jesus and his disciples. People study the Bible and then become JWs. People who don't remain where they are.
@@tongakhan230 - The above post is a blatant lie on your part. I can and have refuted JW beliefs using the Bible. And no intelligent person who reads the Bible will ever become a JW. In fact, the JW masters have stated in writing that JWs are not to read "just" the Bible.
How does the Word was God. Particularly imply Jesus? Also In the begining was the Word. What I think and I could be wrong is the Word was being Spoken. As Genesis 1:1 says- In the Begining God created the Heavens and the Earth. He spoke these things into Existence and I would think it would be what they say, God is really like He causes to Become. Name meaning such that goes well with Genesis 1:1, don't you think?
The context is about one of God's angelic sons becoming a human. That is why John 1:1 says this angel (Word) was WITH God. No one can be WITH someone and also be that someone. Wikipedia QUOTES many translations which word it properly. 'And the Word was a god'. Meaning a mighty being. An angel. By implying that the Word was God, unknowingly the Trintarians have shot themselves in the foot. WAS is the past tense of IS. It still shows that the Jesus who walked this earth WASN'T God. Not while he was on earth, though. Philippians 2:7 No, but he EMPTIED HIMSELF (of his Spirit form) and took a slave’s form and BECAME HUMAN.
Hello. To answer your question - "The Word", in John 1:1 does refer to the Person of Christ. 1:18 shows this very clearly. Also - Tonga Khan is totally wrong in what he posted. Christ is not an angel. That idea is directly against the witness of Scripture. He has been refuted before about this, and runs away.
The only thing I somewhat disagree with is the rocky foundation so what about them now statement. Just because we sinned in the past doesn't mean anything. We don't hold the past against someone etc. We could go on. But this point should be considered but not placed much importance on because it involves character of someone else or in the past. We can't generalize that many people only hint at it.
Jesus said (I forgot the exact words, and which Gospel) that his father was greater than he. If the trinity is real, and they are both the same and equal, then how can Jesus be greater than himself?
Interesting. Within 35 seconds of this video it started with an example of pure disrespect and then two lies you can find th answers to if you ask them in person! 👍🙂
Who was Jesus referring to when he taught us to pray to our Father in heaven. Who did Jesus pray to? And who from heaven said "This is my son?" I recognize the deity of Jesus in that he is begotten from the (his)Father. Who *sent* Jesus? Jesus taught what was not his own, but of the One who sent him? Not debating at all, and I am not a witness, and I am aware of their twisted doctrines and policies.
Jesus prayed to his Father. Christian theology is not that Jesus is t the Father incarnate. They are distinct in personhood. Jesus is God by nature but not God the Father.
Best text is when God says I myself will shepherd my people. Aka the good sherped Jesus christ And when Jesus also said there is no one good but God. And we kno Jesus is 100% good . And also when Jesus said now you have seen me and kno the father. And countless other texts if u actually read Bible. Jehovahs witness cherry pick the Bible . But even in there translation you can see the truth JesusisGod.
There is no letter J in the original Hebrew language. In the Hebrew Synagogue and in prayer G-ds name is Adonai, which is not allowed to be spoken outside of worship or morning and evening prayer the Shema.

I used her bible which had an emblem that they use and it had a briefing on the JW religion. She had one Bible that looked like mine but she said it was for school only, we went to a Christian school, and the other book was her church bible. But it wasn’t fishy, she told me that they were ordered to shun her aunt for taking her daughter to Disney World.

Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t go to Christian schools. They also don’t use emblems or symbols in there worship. They do use a Watchtower logo on name tags as an identification, but not as part of worship. It does not sound like your friend was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Thank you Renee
Very true. Many JWs didn't know their organisation relegates Christ to the status of angel. Most JWs are also ignorant of their organisations early history, publications and beliefs. There is a reason for this. JWs are discouraged from if not forbidden to make independent examination of these things. JWs will try to argue that Mighty God is not Almighty God yet the page over from that scripture in Isaiah the Mighty God is mentioned as one whom a remnant from Babylon shall return. Which Mighty God is that!
No Corey didn't slam that door, lol.
I had opportunity to witness to JW (who thought she was witnessing to me) as we went through the bible together to discuss key points surrounding salvation and obedience. I began to discover a pattern that the JW woman literally had a blindness regarding scriptures' that illuminated how God's grace inspires, empowers, corrects, convicts, and sustains the sustain believer. I would purposely choose scriptures that more clearly showed the interaction between grace as it works in faith and obedience, but she couldn't see it (without my guidance) and would only focus on the works of the believer. That's when I realized that the Holy Spirit was aiding me in understanding that I needed to focus more on GRACE when witnessing to a JW rather than always trying to argue key Gospel truths such as "Jesus is God". They are used to those arguments in defending their faith so they have many scripted responses. Because JW is a works based religion, I got how God was leading me in this particular witness.
This grace-based method of approach garnered a breakthrough because the woman was at a lost for (scripted) words and could not refute what I was showing her as the difference between her understanding of how one receives and "maintains" salvation and what scripture (even within her own doctored translation) clearly reveals. She eventually did the usual thing JWs do when they must think independently . . . she stated that she would need to do some more research and would get back with me. Of course she didn't, but I have always hoped that the Holy Spirit continued to spiritually open her eyes.
ISAIAH 55:8-11
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it
Yes, JWs must eventually fully understand who Jesus is and why only He is able to save us. But we don't always have to start there. Our planting and/or watering seeds of truth concerning God's grace is also how the Holy Spirit can begin to draw and illuminate those deceived by a works based religion.
Knew a limited amount of info on the JW. But, you expounded more in conclusion. Thank you bro. Corey for your blessed teachings. God Bless you, Amen🕊️
You are a JW’s least favorite call when they go door to door. When they realize that you know Gods Word, they automatically put you in the “goat” catagory.

I agree @Super EXJW For real-- I recall when I first began going out in field service, there was a man who when he saw the jw's coming, he would sit on his porch with his Bible open, just waiting on them to get to his house. I was told that he just wanted to debate and to not get into conversation with him. I surmise now that the man most likely knew the Bible more than the witnesses and that was their way or avoiding engaging with him. Witnesses only want to start Bible studies with their literature to make another money giving witness to the governing body. There's no real interest in having a real Bible conversation because they are not taught to do that.

No one will be able to teach like Jehovah’s Witnesses because others don’t have the truth of what the Bible teaches and don’t have God’s holy spirit. The reason JWs have such a United world wide brotherhood is because they have the truth and show the love which Jesus said would be one of the identifying marks of his people.
John 13:35 “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”
Love for God and neighbor is the only thing that gives JWs the strength to regularly go out and teach people about God’s Kingdom and what it means for us. That is the theme of the Bible, which most people are never taught.

If some of you on here don’t know who Ignatius is he was a student of John the apostle along with a man by the name of polycarp. Now this is Ignatius speaking listen to him very carefully.
IGNATIUS [A.D. 30-107]
Ignatius is one of the earliest church fathers whose writings have been preserved. His correspondence has a genuinely pastoral, New Testament epistle-type flavor since the bulk of his extant writings are specifically addressed to churches in a manner similar to Paul. Quotations from Paul’s epistles in the New Testament comprise more of his writing than his own thoughts on almost any given subject. He viewed the Father as “the one true God.” In the same vein, he also stated that whoever “declares that there is but one God, only so as to take away the divinity of Christ, is a devil.”
In his Epistle to the Magnesians, Ignatius briefly references a view of the Godhead, perhaps even within the time of the writing of the New Testament.
“Study, therefore, to be established in the doctrines of the Lord and the apostles, that so all things, whatsoever ye do, may prosper both in the flesh and spirit; in faith and love; in the Son, and in the Father, and in the Spirit. . . . Be ye subject to the bishop, and to one another, as Jesus Christ to the Father, according to the flesh, and the apostles to Christ, and to the Father, and to the Spirit.”
While not directly expounding on the specific relationship between the three persons of the Godhead, it is obvious that Ignatius intended to communicate that their unique roles were distinct and equally important in the lives of believers. With such a pastoral flavor, Ignatius did not seem to delineate a specific doctrinal position. Rather, he focused on integrating God into life on the practical level, so that no aspect of the Godhead was ignored or neglected. Obviously, the church understood early on that there were inseparable elements which bound the Father, Son, and Spirit together as unity, or as a unit, while still distinguishing them as individuals. Yet, Ignatius notes that Christ submitted Himself to the Father willingly, just as Christians should to those who have been given authority over them.
By examining all the epistles Ignatius wrote to the different churches, small pieces of his broader theology emerge. Ignatius clearly notes the importance of the Father, Son, and Spirit, but he also details that Christ was completely God: “To the church . . . elected through the true passion by the will of the Father, and Jesus Christ our God.” “For our God, Jesus Christ was, according to appointment of God conceived in the womb of Mary . . . God Himself being manifested in human form for the renewal of eternal life.” Christ’s deity is seen early on in the church and is a key element around which many heresies arise due to misinterpretation or misunderstanding.

Here the three persons are intricately woven together, and yet distinctly recognized, as Ignatius notes that “there are not then either three Fathers, or three Sons, or three Paracletes, but one Father, and one Son, and one Paraclete . . . into three possessed of equal honor.” While this is not formed in the same organized manner found in later creeds, Ignatius clearly places an emphasis on the Father and the Son, and does not neglect the role of the Spirit.
Clement Ave Alexandria said this about who Jesus is But our Instructor is the holy God Jesus, the Word, who is the guide of all humanity. The loving God Himself is our Instructor.
Now, O you, my children, our Instructor is like His Father God, whose son He is, sinless, blameless, and with a soul devoid of passion; God in the form of man, stainless, the minister of His Father’s will, the Word who is God, who is in the Father, who is at the Father’s right hand, and with the form of God is God.”2
So the Word is God but is also distinct from the Father. He then goes on later to say this
The holy and loving God, Jesus, is the God who provided for the people in the wilderness. He is the God who brought them out of Egypt and who made the covenant with Abraham. According to Clement, Jesus is none other than Jehovah God. Though Jesus is distinct from the Father, we are not talking about two Gods but one. Note that he said, “The Lord alone led them, and there was no strange god among them.” The only true God is both the Father and the Son.Clement thus argues here that Jesus Christ is the divine Word. He explains that this Word was not only there in the beginning, but before the beginning! He is thus rather explicit that the Word is eternal. The Word is also described as being the Creator of all things, and is plainly called God, though He is also described as being “in God” and “with God,” thus again avoiding the idea that the Word exhausts all that God is. He explains that when the Word came to us as Jesus Christ, He was both God and Man. He returns to this again later in the book, declaring:
“Assuming the character of man, and fashioning Himself in flesh, He enacted the drama of human salvation: for He was a true champion and a fellow champion with the creature. And being communicated most speedily to men, having dawned from His Father’s counsel quicker than the sun, with the most perfect ease He made God shine on us. Whence He was and what He was, He showed by what He taught and exhibited, manifesting Himself as the Herald of the Covenant, the Reconciler, our Savior, the Word, the Fount of life, the Giver of peace, diffused over the whole face of the earth; by whom, so to speak, the universe has already become an ocean of blessings.”6
By “assuming the character of a man and fashioning Himself in flesh,” the Word became a man to bring about our salvation. The Word is a champion with the creature. The uncreated enters into creation and comes alongside the created being to save him. He did not cease to be God, but rather He “made God to shine on us.” How? “Whence He was and what He was He showed by what He taught and exhibited.” The Word revealed God because the Word is God. As Clement also wrote in “The Instructor,” Chapter 3:
“The Lord ministers all good and all help, both as Man and as God.”7
This is the biblical doctrine of the deity of Christ and the incarnation, which the Watchtower was mistakenly (or deceitfully) hoping to wield Clement’s words to deny. Clement of Alexandria is instead just another one of the many examples of early Christians who believed and wrote about these biblical truths in the earliest period of Christian history. It also shows the Watchtower writers once again to be either incompetent or duplicitous in their handling of this subject matter.
@Jeremiah Rowe Sr.
According to Galatians 2:4 there were already false brothers teaching wrong things during the first century. You can add your Ignatius to that list.
Awesome breakdown of scripture! Thank you for dealing with this issue! Can you do Mormonism next?🙏❤
I hear you brother and you are correct. I have friends that are Jehovah's witnesses. Even though you are correct, your questions for them only works for people who really want to know the truth and are willing to change if their beliefs don't match the truth. Even if I reasoned like you did with them. They still will dance around it. Because ultimately, they are not looking for the ultimate truth, they are looking to defend their position no matter how much they have to rationalize and dance around my questions. It's kind of the same thing with people in politics. Personally, I don't support either republican or democratic candidates because I see them both as corrupt, but that's besides the point I want to make. The point in this instance is that weather people support their "republican" or "democratic" candidate, no matter what evidence you point to that their candidate is lying and untrustworthy, they won't hear it and they will go out of their way to justify it even if I point out absolute evidence their candidate has lied.
You said "they are looking to defend their position no matter how much they have to rationalize and dance around my questions."
Perhaps they think the same of you. The Bible is the touchstone. What if what you are trying to teach is not what the Bible is actually saying?
Can you help me find the courtroom transcript you refer to in this video of Charles Tase Russel. Thanks
I would live to see it as well
A few years ago some "witnesses" knocked on my moms door, I answered 😆 and went out side with them .
My mom: "they don't know who they have on that porch with them " 😂 .(gotta love mom)
Let's just say in a nut shell they haven't been back to that house after talking with me for not even an hour ,we see them skip my moms house and go to the neighbors 😆 everytime they are in the neighborhood .
I pulled them part with scripture and some biblical history with recordings outside of the bible , it was too much. They couldn't answer 1 question I asked but I had an answer for everything they tried to throw at me .
Pray these folks seek Jesus before the end
I grew up in an area where there are a lot of Muslims. The Jehovah's Witnesses would be out on the corners not far from the local mosque on busy Friday afternoons. One of them tried to corner me on my way back from the pizza place, so I engaged her and showed her the differences between my Bible and hers. I'd just studied up on JW doctrine that week and had the passages memorized, lol.
@GTO, The same thing happened with my mom. They came to my mom house once when I was young, and she said “come on in” lol. Needless to say, she schooled them, and they left with the quickness lol. 😎
If they're skipping your moms' house, it's not because of their discussion with you.

Well done for breaking away from the shackles that they put you in. Atheism is a natural state, I bet you feel well and truly emancipated. Jehovah's Witnesses are certainly a laughing stock NOW, after all their futile prediction dates for Armageddon. Was their last date 1984, not sure but maybe they made a few predictions since then as well. Yet, some people are still taken in by them as they continue spreading a load of BS.
Research Johannes Greber, he was an ex-Catholic Priest who do spiritual séance with demon spirits who inspired him to rewrite John 1:1 denying Jesus’ deity. JW’s paid him to use his Bibles. They also lied about Greek writers supporting their translation.
This is the 21st Century. People can get scammed. But to remain scammed is inexcusable unless done by choice.
Check Wikipedia which QUOTES tons of translations which word it properly 'and the Word was a god'.
John who wrote that also wrote 'No man has SEEN God at ANY TIME.' - 1 John 4:12,20. Jesus had been SEEN. What does that logically mean??

(1 Timothy 6:15-16)
Now who is called King of kings and Lord of Lords in the Bible? Correct! Jesus Christ. We have seen Him as the Son, the man, the vessel, but Jesus Christ as the Father and Holy Spirit, we have never seen, because He is spirit.

I always wonder why I never seen a true black preacher teaching the truth of God's Word. So I did my search on black pastors. I know no one is perfect in teaching God's except Christ. I love God's Word and I have a great desire for it. You are more in tune with God's Word than all others. I'm not trying to swell your head with pride, I thank God that He will always raise godly men like Jeremiah and others to teach God's word. In my time of studying God's Word I notice that only two people when they make a mistake on teaching God's Word they acknowledge their mistakes. God bless.
When Jesus says no one gets to the father except through me that clearly once again demonstrates to people it is astonishing to me how main stream Christians think that God and Jesus are the same person when anybody with a high school education can simply and clearly read that this is not the case
True! If I need to get to the President by going through his Secretary, and someone says that the Secretary is the President, I need not go through anyone. I will deal with the Secretary.
For Tom Beck: You have an inaccurate view of the Trinity. Christians do not believe that the Father and the Son are the same Person.
@@jamesritter5078 : Co-equal, co-eternal and all that. That is what the RCC came up with as regards the trinity.
After God resurrected Jesus, Jesus told Mary that he was returning to HIS GOD who was also her God. John 20:17.
@@tongakhan230 - You are quite wrong, and here's why and how that's true - Christ's own words regarding Himself:
Here is John 14:8-9: 8 Philip said to him: “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him: “Even after I have been with you men for such a long time, Philip, have you not come to know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How is it you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Question: Who is "the Father"? What/Who is being referred to by that phrase?
Obvious Answer: God Himself. Considering the context of who and what Philip is - a Jew - There is no other honest way to understand the phrase in Philip's request. This is not refutable.
Jesus, knowing full well who and what Philip is and the only possible meaning to his request, straightforwardly tells Philip, "If you've seen Me, you've seen Him. If you've seen me, you've seen God Himself." There is no other honest way to take that answer.
Jesus Christ openly declares that seeing Him = Seeing God Himself.
JWs say that Jesus is Michael the archangel. No, that doesn't work, and it doesn't work BIG TIME. Here's why that's true:
Michael's name means "Who Is Like God?"
Obvious answer: NO ONE.
There is NO way that Michael would have made the claim for himself that Jesus makes in verse 9. He would have been...
a) going directly against the meaning of his own name, and
b) committing blasphemy.
Add to this the fact that there is no verse in the Bible that states that Jesus is really Michael.
Add to this the fact that the Father openly and directly calls the Son “God” in Heb. 1:8
And there are plenty of other Scriptures that show and prove the Deity of Christ.
Who said Jesus and the Father are the same person. Jesus is the Son not the Father. How can a father and son be the same person. God is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are 3 separate persons..
When Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane did he pray to himself? He prayed to a separate person his father
His flesh prayed to the spirit. Carnal minds don't understand spiritual things
He prayed to God, he called out "Father father why have you forsaken me"
Great talk. Thanks
😂😂😂😂I loved that intro. The one thing I know they got right is those warped pagan holidays. Most people know to avoid the JW's. I knew from a very young age, they weren't right. I lived in a town of 1,000 as a young girl. We still dodged them. I think it's because my grandma took to church from a young age and trained us. The Ruach Ha' Kodesh (Holy Spirit) trained me right.

Run Run Run Watchtower is CORRUPT
If the Word was "a" god then that means there is God and then another god making it more than one god
Correct, JWS are polytheist. In accordance to bible scriptures, Christians should be monotheistic.
Good to see Cuba Gooding Jr is into the Word these days.
I engaged a couple of JWs on the street today, but trying to talk with them is like herding cats....they kept jumping from one theme to another. So one minute it was on Jesus being God or not, to the next second they talked about pacifism! You WANT to see them saved, but they are "trained" not to listen to true Christians. Very sad.

3:40 You do realize Jesus' name was not said as "Jesus" in the first century, don't you. Jehovah is the English translation of the Hebrew name, just like Jesus is the English translation of the Greek name.
No. Jehovah is YHWH with false vowels added from 'Adonai' (Lord) so that the Hellenised Jews could say the world specifically without using God's name. Lutheran Satire is very good on this.

Regardless, Jehovah is the accepted translation in english of the tetragrammaton.

The fact is, we do not speak Hebrew. And as the OP states, we still say "Jesus", even though that is not how it was said in Greek, or Hebrew.
God has a name, and he wants us to know and use it. It was recorded in the Bible more then any other name.
@@777Tralfaz777 No. 'Jesus' is the English translation of the Greek version of Yeshua, which is 'Yahweh is salvation'. I would prefer to take the Jewish line and not use God's name too much - so I would be safe in saying 'Jehovah', which is specifically and deliberately not his name, but an amalgamation, the whole point of the creation of which was to stop the Jews accidently misuing God's actual name, as you seem to recognise. But this does show up that the JWs are talking nonsense (as usual).
I respectfully disagree! That isn't the easiest route to get through to a witnesses, it's popsicle one of the hardest. I am currently a witness, just waking up to the truth about the truth. Just as for trinitarians that's a tough thing to convince them of even with the Bible. And I'm sure this could be effective to some obviously. However, a understanding of the organizations claim to fame which are the reasons why they say they have the truth. Ie. Neutrality, door to door ministry, refuse blood, United(being taught the same thing all over the world), love amongst themselves, use Jehovah, etc. Must don't know that the organization since the beginning have not been neutral, the apostles didn't go door to door, are apart of the UN till this day who is the wild beast in rev, the org being investigated for child sexual abuse, and their money going to paying victims, the governing body members lying on video in court under oath. Also, telling them that Jesus is not their meditator is taught by the WT. Most witnesses don't know that is current teaching. There's proof of all these things. More being apart of the PIMO (physically in mentally out) community theses are the things that wake up the majority. Using the org own words against them using the WT magazines and books, past and current. Teaching them is much different than simply teaching someone from the Bible who isn't in a cult, a normal person. That isn't too day you can't use the Bible, must of these things can be shown from the Bible, like the blood issue, false prophets etc. But the key is to demolish their delusion of being different. It's sad...
Towards the end of the video, I had to pause it to give you like a two minute round of applause and compliment Jesus on His work with you😅 This is spectacular! You've done an amazing job here. My mother is still in the cult, and it feels like I can't get anywhere with her. Please pray with me that she'll leave this cult and be born again. She claims to have read the Bible over 50 times, and doesn't seem to know what being born again is, and doesn't even know who Jesus is (she said He was Michael several days ago, and then said she wasn't sure and would have to look it up.. How could she still be so confused?!)... It breaks my heart daily. I just want to be with her for eternity, she's been the best mother I could ask for. God bless you in Jesus' name❤
So he begins with an ad hominem (cult)? Couldn't the Jews have said the same of the 1st century Christians? The fact is, according to the general definition of "cult", all religions can be considered as "cults". But today it is used in a derogatory way to dismiss others.
And the next ad hominem, "a snake oil sales man". Miracle wheat was paramount to a churches bake sale. Russell did not name it nor did it have anything to do with his ministry, or efforts to understand the truth.

4:42 JW do not claim it is a sin to not call him that. But the fact is, God has a name. If you love God, and claim to know Him, don't you think you should know His name? In fact Jesus' name means "Jehovah is salvation".

I had jw forced on me until age 16 when i told dad No More. You are spot on in the video as i have watched dad & his bretheren jump from scripture to scripture arguing their beliefs until other people are blue in the face. I attend a baptist church & im pretty knowledgeable of the bible. Ive actually felt the Holy Spirit 7 times which i'll share if anyone wants to ask about. But i have 2 jws from another video that refuse to hear anything i say and keep using the same jw tactics to run from 1 argument to the next. Im tired of talking to them at this point. Some jws you absolutely cannot reach no matter how many times you sink their argument. But you sir are spot on and i enjoyed the video.
I would say it’s close to impossible for somebody born in the religion to have a saving faith in Jesus simply because they think that Jesus is micheal the archangel etc, a Jesus that can’t save. I could comprehend somebody getting saved outside of the religion and then getting swept in before the realize it isn’t really Christian, but they would be staying long if that’s the case. They make their doctrine known QUICK. You have to study a book with a teacher entitled what the Bible really teaches before you get baptized. In my 22 years as a JW, knowing what I know now after being saved by Jesus Christ ALONE, I never knew somebody in the religion who had a saving faith or a real understanding of sin, or who Jesus is. God bless!
Good Day my brother. Help me to understand what you are saying. Are you saying a Jehovah witness can be a Christian and still be in a cult? How can that be when they don’t believe in The Body Resurrection of Jesus Christ? If a jw, Mormon, Muslim , etc don’t believe in in The Body Resurrection of Jesus Christ there is no hope.

How is it that youtube want me not to contest false sayings on our cult and let others do more wiked against.
How does the Word was God. Particularly imply Jesus? Also In the begining was the Word. What I think and I could be wrong is the Word was being Spoken. As Genesis 1:1 says- In the Begining God created the Heavens and the Earth. He spoke these things into Existence and I would think it would be what they say, God is really like He causes to Become. Name meaning such that goes well with Genesis 1:1, don't you think?
The context is about one of God's angelic sons becoming a human. That is why John 1:1 says this angel (Word) was WITH God. No one can be WITH someone and also be that someone.
Wikipedia QUOTES many translations which word it properly. 'And the Word was a god'. Meaning a mighty being. An angel.
By implying that the Word was God, unknowingly the Trintarians have shot themselves in the foot.
WAS is the past tense of IS. It still shows that the Jesus who walked this earth WASN'T God. Not while he was on earth, though.
Philippians 2:7 No, but he EMPTIED HIMSELF (of his Spirit form) and took a slave’s form and BECAME HUMAN.
Hello. To answer your question - "The Word", in John 1:1 does refer to the Person of Christ. 1:18 shows this very clearly.
Also - Tonga Khan is totally wrong in what he posted. Christ is not an angel. That idea is directly against the witness of Scripture. He has been refuted before about this, and runs away.
WT History channel … they cover the miracal wheat story pretty good
The only thing I somewhat disagree with is the rocky foundation so what about them now statement. Just because we sinned in the past doesn't mean anything. We don't hold the past against someone etc. We could go on. But this point should be considered but not placed much importance on because it involves character of someone else or in the past. We can't generalize that many people only hint at it.
I believe in the holy trinity btw
In terms of the past - JWs have not moved from their past errors regarding things like Who Christ is and how a person becomes saved.
Jesus said (I forgot the exact words, and which Gospel) that his father was greater than he. If the trinity is real, and they are both the same and equal, then how can Jesus be greater than himself?
Jesus was the flesh of God. the flesh is weaker then the soul and spirit

Who was Jesus referring to when he taught us to pray to our Father in heaven. Who did Jesus pray to? And who from heaven said "This is my son?" I recognize the deity of Jesus in that he is begotten from the (his)Father. Who *sent* Jesus? Jesus taught what was not his own, but of the One who sent him? Not debating at all, and I am not a witness, and I am aware of their twisted doctrines and policies.
