- Are Jehovah Witnesses a CULT or part of Christianity?
What Jehovah's Witnesses believe:
1. Jesus is really the archangel Michael.
2. Jesus is not to be worshipped.
3. Jesus was not resurrected with a physical body but as a spirit being.
4. Jesus’s second coming has already occurred. It took place invisibly in 1914.
5. The Holy Spirit is not a person.
6. There is no Trinity. There is only God, Jehovah.
7. Salvation is by faith and especially by works.
8. Only 144,000 saved people will go to heaven. They will have spirit bodies, not physical bodies. Everyone else who belongs to Jehovah will stay in paradise on earth in a physical body.
9. Humans do not have an eternal, immortal soul. When you die you cease to exist unless and until God resurrects you.
10. There is no hell.

So if the Trinity consists of three persons....
How many do they expect to see someday in the Great hereafter???
Thank you kindly for sharing.
Please research the Jehovah's witnesses yearly memorial of how they reject Jesus, its actually quite disturbing...
Are you the "leader" of this divisive "ministry"?
I was a Witness for 27 years! It took about two minutes for me to learn how wrong they are. I gave my life to Christ about 11 months later. Let the name of the Lord Jesus Christ be praised forever!!!
Be careful when you're a member of an organization that tells you how to thank how to act and how to feel. JW's are a cult I know I was in it for 25 years. Very political, not very spiritual, fake people everywhere half of which are medicated. But yet they boast what organization vindicates Jehovah's name? My question is where did you get Jehovah😅😅 was that his real name? But you say you have the truth but do you really? So many unanswered questions, so many changes, what you believed years before could be changed in an instant. No apologies no explanation watchtower owes you nothing. But yet you still continue to blindly follow it. I am so ashamed of myself. I am so ashamed of myself.
May I ask you what happened specifically in that 2 minutes in which you had that awakening? I would love to hear your story please.
@@majesty10xu15 Remember the 1983 Watchtower article titled “Avoid Independent Thinking”? She just means that she was awakened from Watchtower deception in a short amount of time when she stopped allowing the WT to do her thinking for her.
My daughter showed me irrefutable proof of CSA and the ARC . That’s what happened. I was done. I abhor child abuse. Will not tolerate it. It is a crime, not a sin like WT likes to say.
Witnesses use the term "independent thinking" in condemning the same idea that the Bible does in various texts:
(Pr 28:26) He that is trusting in his own heart is stupid, but he that is walking in wisdom is the one that will escape.
(Jer 10:23) I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.
(1Co 1:18-20) For it is written: "I will make the wisdom of the wise [men] perish, and the intelligence of the intellectual men I will shove aside." Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the debater of this system of things? Did not God make the wisdom of the world foolish?
These Bible writers are warning us against *human* "wisdom" or thinking that is independent of God's input.
I used to be a Jehovah's Witness. I'm so glad I've been saved, and escaped this cult!!!
Very good 😅
Praise God 👏🙌
Sameeee
Welcome!
A miracle, all glory to Jesus
I had been with JW's for three years, but deep in my spirit I always knew something was wrong, especially how they viewed and minimized Lord Jesus Christ.
minimized Lord Jesus Christ and yet are the only ones who teach Jesus will rule the earth after Armagedon and will restore this planet and mankind?? the rest say these is false..
They don't diminish Jesus but they give all the praises to God because he sent Jesus, Jesus is not God, some Christians focus more on Jesus, I don't believe in God so you all are brainwashed 😂
This is incorrect
Other religions preach the millennium reign of CHRIST@@moisesbeyond
JWs follow Jesus Christ and worship his father Jehovah God. Jesus Christ as our king is never worshipped.
@@Babyboo-qd8wb, the Bible disagree with u...
John 1:1 KJV
[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
I pray for my father to be saved and delivered because he's been a Jehovah witness for a long time. I pray for my father to realize that Jesus is the way, and no one comes to the Father except through Him
Your father respects the position of Jesus, as a High Priest. His prayers go through Jesus, as the scriptures in the book of Hebrews states, concerning Jesus' priestly office.
Your dad, clearly, understands, that Jesus is always alive to plead for us.
Have you never read Hebrews chapter 7?
Your dad might be interested to know that the new KJB now restores Almighty God's Divine Name, JEHOVAH, to 6973 places and, JAH, in 50 places, to the UNREVISED text of the Authorized King James Version of the Bible. Contains the Divine Name Concordance which lists 7023 occurrences of God's Divine Name.
Of course, we are all aware that the kJB Bible has had a history of adding and removing scriptures, but I'm joyous, that Almighty God's name is being glorified.
Jesus prayed:" Father glorify your name! " ( John 12: 28)
@@celticmarmite6048 If his father doesn't believe that he's apart of the New Covenant and that Jesus isn't his Mediator, how can he believe that his prayers go through Jesus?? That's an inanity given their indoctrinated belief by the cult. Is Jesus your Mediator??
@@TeStOs78Don’t be ridiculous.
If you accept Christ as your savior and as King then you are going through him to the Father.
Every branch of Christianity accepts this. Even Jehovah’s Witnesses
I personally believe all branches of Christianity are slightly flawed or changed in some way, but they will all be granted access to heaven depending on God’s judgment and how heavily they sinned.
In fact you do not need to beholden to any church or sect,
believing in Christ as your lord and savior is all you need. And that’s the biblical fact.
@@cosmicbro1973 Go educate yourself on WT publishings if you are Jw or not. The WT declares that every rank and file Jw slave isn't in the New Covenant because they're not so called "spirit-anointed", so the covenant is only with those who have the Holy Spirit.
They don't have the Holy Spirit as well and that's why they need to obey and completely trust the so called "spirit-anointed" leaders word for word & interpretation. They tell them that while Christ is the way to God, he still isn't their Mediator but only that for the so called "spirit-anointed", so these ppl are lost and don't know Jesus. Go read some facts on what the org teaches
This Jesus , God made both lord and Christ.....Acts 2: 36
Praised be, the God and Father of our lord Jesus Christ. ( 2 Corinthians 1: 3 )
I grew up Jehovah's witness and it turned me away from God took me several years to come back to him.
For me, they helped me so much finding the truth in the bible
@@mkultra7740jehovas witness are false full of prophesies that never came to be. The bible shows that a prophet is false when their prophecies don't come true
Jesus Christ sent all of you to preach about the Jw's or satan the devil sent all of you to preach about the Jw's??????
Me too! But now I know the real “truth” and I’ve been set free! Thank you Jesus!!!
@@mistykellam4029 Amen!!!!
How timely! My parents just reached out to me to invite me to their memorial celebration. I declined as I do every year, but this time I out right told them they are in a false religion, and that they have been deceived about who Jesus is. I then cited scripture showing Jesus is God. My mom replied with “ is that all you got? You can’t convince us that we don’t have the truth .” I replied with “ I just cited directly from the bible, so yes that is all I’ve got. IT IS WRITTEN.” I ask that everyone please pray for them and anyone else in that religion that they will come to know truth and for the scales to fall off their eyes.
Which scripture verse did you show? Because I'm on the same boat and I want to provide accurate scripture.
I'm not sure what scripture you gave but God is light, and Jesus said I am the light of this world, but here are a couple John 20:28, Revelation 21:7 or even Matthew 28:18 here is one that goes deeper Matthew 5:48/Luke 13:32/Hebrews 5:8-9 and you can throw Hebrews 9:11 in if you wish God bless, Glorify the Name brought higher than all the heavens, Jesus. Ephesians 4:10/Philippians 2:9/Matthew 28:18/1 Timothy 6:15-16/Psalms 148:13 love Michael
Amen yes praying for them it’s generational embedded wake up JWs your being control scriptual are twisted. Scales be lefted up wash eyes to see read your word. Behold Jesus standing at door knocking. There’s no other way but Jesus.
@@Esorivera1I used John 1:1,14
But I forgot that their translation is altered to fit their doctrine 😔
@@Proverbs-uw3ngthanks! This helps a ton!
This cult stole a large part of my life from me. They covered for my stepmother who was beating me. She inflicted so much emotional damage and trauma. They are wicked. They are heretical. They cover for abuses within their church because involving authorities means involving "worldly". I needed so much deliverance and healing because of them. They stole my childhood. They'd stand over me as adult men and force me to lie to CPS when the school would call about my withdrawn behavior and bruises. They cover up rape and marital abuse. They teach absolute heresy. If you're reading this, please stay away from this wicked cult. If it wasn't for Jesus, I'd be dead because of them.
My stepdad who I’ve been living with for 5+ years is a J-Dub and let me tell you he’s a total scum bag. He’s narcissistic, emotionally abusive, lazy, has poor hygiene and isn’t very bright.
Christians used to burn people alive during the dark ages for petty things, like saying the Earth was round when the pope said the Earth was flat (Bruno) Joan of Arc was burned alive as a teenager, watch the movie SPOTLIGHT with Michael Keaton it's shocking
"They teach absolute heresy".. like what?? "They cover-up rape"you are making wild accusations that aren't proven. Watch the movie SPOTLIGHT with Michael Keaton now there is some disgusting immorality that goes on within the clergy class of Christendom. AND ALL OF ITS IS PROVEN!!
None of that happened to me or anyone else I know who is a JW. Don't blame the whole religion because that happened to you. I do understand the hurt though.
covered what? To whom?
Read your Bible every day, EVERY BOOK of it, Pray to our Father Who art in Heaven, Shed the Traditions of man made religion, distance yourself from Earthly things and believe, believe in the Messiah Yeshua, Jesus,and walk humbly with God.
The ther is no eveidence what so ever that jesus is the massiha , that claim is only of the romans paul and the apostels and the traitores jews adopted sons of rome who wrote the gospels, mattheo john josiphos who adopted by the roman empire to currpot jewish sceiptures since the jews refuse to bow to the idols the roman put in ther tempel unlike the other countries who conqerd by roman empire.
... Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and King of kings.... and we all know it. Are there would not be opposition...God be with 😎
@@jeanlawson9133 god one and only or your hellenic roman hercules type mangod of the church?
How about the opening words of Jesus' worshipful prayer: " Our Father hallowed be thy name" ?
It's interesting how the new King James Bible now descides to restore the Almighty God's Divine Name, JEHOVAH, to 6973 places and, JAH, in 50 places, to the UNREVISED text of the Authorized King James Version of the Bible. Contains the Divine Name Concordance which lists 7023 occurrences of God's Divine Name.
It's had a history of adding and removing Almighty God's name.
@@armadilowuojamos2275he fulfilled every prophesy and even called Himself the Messiah and the son of God more than once. This corruption of scriptures idea is nonsense without any basis in reality.
Pray for my brother and his family please. They are JW.
God pull me out and the devil got them by the foot. Please pray for them
Thank you so much for making this video.
I started noticing the hypocrisy and judgemental attitudes and the lack of love they had.
true
And YOU are perfect???? Wow, let me know how I can FOLLOW You???? Finger Pointing is a sin, isn't it?
I have a wonderful friend who’s a Jehovah witness she’s the most kind person I know. Please pray she finds the truth about Jesus!! Her name is Sarah!
I just prayed for Sarah.
she knows truth but need to realize the org is not what it is.
She’s kind out of her own works because the Holy Spirit gives true kindness. I have someone I work with that is the same way and I pray as well that they know the Holy Spirit as a person not a force
say hi to my brother in truth:
Acts 5:30 The God OF OUR FOREFATHERS raised up Jesus,
Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of OUR FOREFATHERS, has glorified his Son and Servant, Jesus
Our Father and Father of Jesus, Jehovah [the God of Abraham] gave his name to Moses in the Old Testament.
Exodus 6:3
King James Bible
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
John 8: 54 Jesus answered [to the JEWS]: “ If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, the one WHO YOU [Jews] say is.. YOUR GOD [JEHOVAH]

Thank you so much. I was raised a JW and just now I am discovering the beautiful truth of Jesus
Same girl I don’t know how they think they are teaching God or Jesus or love in general I never felt safe or like I was important. I never felt like I was anything more than a child who needed to be perfect. Even my parents were so brainwashed they used to tell me I was afraid of the dark when I was 4-5 because I must be doing something wrong. The fear that happened there I’ll never forget it and I hope my god handles all of that because none of it is right. You will be ok girl I am I found a loving place that teaches the real God.
I grew up in this strange religion. All my family are in it. Not me. I believe in Jesus, God's son.
Oh wow!!! It's so nice to hear other people say the same things I felt my whole life! Jesus changes everything!
great what is God ?
thanks for the great video.. need more vids of comparisons..very interesting..like even 7 day later saints, etc!
Thank you for this video, i have been a born again Christian for 42 years and i thank God for that. But , next week i have been asked by a JW lady to have coffee, and i needed to know about this cult as i want to witness to her. I really don't know much about them but now i got all this info, thank you, how timely, our Father is amazing, Glory to God. God bless you.
I'd stay right away from them, don't fellowship with them
Good luck with false information, I’m Jehovah witness and I’m happy to be it I will never leave my religion, a lot of fake news spreading around.
They are a cult. I was raised as one for many years. As a child growing up in that I couldn't understand how they could teach me that my dad would not be with God because he did not go to the Kingdom Hall. I went door to door with my mom. We had no Christmas, No Birthday Celebrations, No Easter. We went to Conventions. My mom was baptized as a Jehovah's Witness. I believe that led to her mental illness that began after that. I was in my 20's when I heard of Jesus and Salvation through Grace. With the Jehovah's Witnesses it more like you had to earn heaven by works. I can't remember everything they taught. I just know when I heard the truth. I was amazed and shocked that I had never heard this truth. Thank you Lord for saving my Soul and getting me out of that cult.
That is awesome! I'm so happy to hear that The Lord rescued you from the Jehova Witness cult!!! I used to have a roommate who told me horrible things that she suffered while she was a Jehova Witness and how she wasted so many years in how they manipulated her in so many ways. I'm so glad that you're now living in the Glory of God that is over your life. As there are many that are still stuck in that cult. May our Precious Jesus open their blind eyes and deaf ears in Jesus Christ Name. 🙏❤🕊🔥⏰️
Welcome to the Simple Faith in Jesus Christ our Lord!
I understand you. My childhood was also characterised by it. It felt like constant work for me there. Many Bible lessons, Meetings etc. I lacked the peace I now felt through Jesus. We learnd to look down on others who were not Jehovahs Witnesses. The contact broke when my mother questioned the Trinity aspect.
Christmas and easter are pagan, anyway, so nothing lost there
To be honest.. birthdays are self worship. Christmas and Easter are pagan so they have something right there
I just found your channel this is a wonderful video.
It's also important to pray before and after reading the holy scriptures, in order God to protect you from wrong interpretations that satan could incept in your brain
Thank You Pastor Vlad! 🎉 Praise God for Jesus and his work on the cross!
Hi there!! Glad I quitted attending that cult. Now I am an Anabaptist, Christ set me free!!!
all religion are cults . all of them
Q:What is the difference between between a Jehovah's Witness and a car?
A:It is easier to close the door on a car!
To be honest my friend had his marriage break up when his wife joined the Jehovah's Witness's it is indeed a CULT!
JW persiastently coming into our house trying to convice us to attend to their fellowship but we refuse. We know the truth ..Lets continue pray for them.
I feel the same way of JW.
Why don't you just tell them not to call on you anymore?
That you're simply not interested.
Instead of wasting their time, just be polite and ask them not to call.
Catch JWs and teach them the truth.
Unfortunately, JWs would know all the tricks churches use to make Jesus into God. They were once part of the churches and probably used those tricks themselves. Until the TRUTH set them free. (John 8:32).
The holy spirit never misleads a surrendered heart.
New subscriber always watching your videos very interesting an eye and mind opening❤❤❤
My mom was and still is someone who is and always has been so close to God. She’s 72. About 20 years ago she asked my sis and I if she could join them and we said yes because she never stopped us from moving from one church to another to find “our place” at a very young age. My dad just passed at the time too. So I went full into the Anglican Church, being an altar server. Got saved and baptised and the joined what I would call a “Christian” church. I still have a very close relationship with my pastor as I followed her.
In those years she found comfort and friendship in the JW. I will never forget the day I saw the change in my mom. Probably a year or two in to JW. She was chanting around the house “the truth, oh the truth” and something seemed off.
She remains a devout JW to this day and I support her where I can but do not want engage since I hold Romans 14 & 15 very close.
I still honour my mom and love her so much
WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL
THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE
From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5
Isa 9:6 the word Prince in the Prince of Peace means PATRON ANGEL also Leader. WHO IS the ONE LEADER that we have? Jesus. Now, that same exact Hebrew word was used for Daniel 12:1 which is used for Michael the Archangel. So are you saying there are MANY LEADERS now?
@@Mr.DC3.1914 Is Jesus your Mediator and do you have the Holy Spirit??
@@TeStOs78 Jesus is our Way, and He is the Mediator in the Christian congregation. JWs have the holy spirit.
@@Mr.DC3.1914 Let me repeat the question, since you seemed bewildered and not answering me with a direct answer. Jesus is the Mediator for all Christians in the body of Christ, that is what "every believing "Christian" believe, because it is irrefutable in the scriptures & anyone who rejects Christ as their Mediator is in a lost condition. Now, don't tell me about the Christian congregation, IS CHRIST YOUR MEDIATOR?
@@TeStOs78 Jesus is the MEDIATOR in the Christian congregation. Is Jesus the Mediator FOR ALL Christians? Nope, the mediatorship is for the kingdom covenant and they will be KINGS AND PRIESTS, Rev 5 and they will JUDGE the 12 tribes of Israel. Luke 22. Are ALL Judges? Nope. some BELIEVING Christians are part of the 12 Tribes of Israel to be judged as well, so evidently they are not part of those JUDGES. So you think babies are in a LOST CONDITION and rejected Christ because they have the inability to BELIEVE AND ACCEPT Christ yet
I’m so grateful and happy that I know what’s really going on in this world. I’m not blind! Thank you Jehovah for allowing me to know you and what our purpose here on earth is! 💜 Start prayer with Jehovah and end it “in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, Amen. 💫
Jesus Christ taught to start prayer "Heavenly Father". He thought it was best and chose the name Father over Jehovah when teaching how to pray.
@@BetwixtswarthyJehovah said to use His name. Look it up. 😉 And also, (not saying this is you), ppl say Your Son Jesus and in the same breath claim he is Heavenly Father ?
Jesus never once addressed God as Jehovah when speaking to Him. He always addressed Him as Father. Jesus as "the way" to the Father taught us the best way to have a close relationship with Abba, Father which is first and foremost recognizing Him as our Father.
Father glorify your name ! ( John 8: 28)
Praised be, the God and Father of our lord ( means master ) Jesus Christ. ( 2 Corinthians 1: 3.
Lol. Still in the cult. Wait until you get out. Not one JW will support you. You will be shunned lmao.
Currently trying to free my mother from their cult. Pray I find the right words and right examples to prove that the disciples got it right the first time and we did not need a new group to pop up late 1800s to tell us lies that were cleared up long ago.
Thank you so much for sharing hidden information. GOD BLESS YOU
My brother used to be a drunkard and had anger issues but honestly since he became a Jehovah's witness I feel like him knowing the bible more has really brought the best out of him. I don't even judge him anymore I just thank God for him living a better life...

@@promisepromises374Jesus started his church in Matthew 16:18
As a former Jehovah's Witness, I became disillusioned with the multitude of regulations imposed by the organization: no beards, no participation in social groups, restrictions on reading religious texts not authorized by the governing body or Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, abstaining from holiday celebrations, limitations on marrying outside the organization, mandatory comments aligned with the Watchtower's teachings, no room for free will in comments, strict dress code enforcement, obligatory preaching, unwavering loyalty to the elders and governing body, discouragement of pursuing higher education, scrutiny of private businesses, prohibition of blood transfusions, numerous failed end-of-the-world predictions, inconsistencies in teachings, hypocrisy, favoritism, and discrimination among members. These factors, among others, led me to depart from the organization and embrace my own traditional African religion, where I discovered peace, truth, freedom, and genuine solutions to my problems. Odinani to the world.
What religious text did you want to read other than the Bible?
You said "limitations on marrying outside the organization,"
So, you do not have an issue with JW alone, but with the Bible counsel altogether.

@@Hakunawins2 Yes. Where exactly were you a Witness??? Did you think the congregation controls what you read, or watch. It gives guidance to such, but you ultimately decide. So, you gave up Jesus and salvation to pursue a demonic religion? So, you can be "free" like Adam and Eve were?
@@Hakunawins2 Yes. If you are having trouble seeing posts, press the Newest button and find your thread.
I'm a new JW . I have beards and tattoos, we just went yesterday to watch football in a bar and had some beers.
A bunch of my brothers are married to non JW spouses.
I don't care about birthdays because we have parties and other celebrations like graduations or just random picnics. Christmas is pagan we have the Memorial.
Nobody has ever questioned my life choices. I'm a tattoo artist.
People are nice , most people live their lives and actually love doing field service. I attended the meetings with joy and I learn. I do Bible studies and I learn .
Is the worst cult on earth because I don't feel anything cultish at all
Thank you for this enlightening video. It’s just what I needed to hear. Someone I was a customer of just sadly passed away from cancer, and in looking at her past social media posts it appears she was a JW. I’m saddened by that as I won’t see her in eternity as I thought she was a Christian.
Definitely a CULT, absolutely no other way to describe that awful mind-controlling circus.
Define "cult". According to the dictionary, JW's are NOT a cult, we don't have special rites or ceremonies, that's the catholic Church. We don't follow a man, that is also a Catholic tradition looking to the Pope as their leader.
Our doctrines are true and no one is able to prove otherwise while the churches are overwhelmingly teaching pagan doctrines that are lies. The churches are so confused they can't explain who they actually worship; Is Jesus God or is he a man, is there a trinity and who does Jesus pray to, himself??
The REAL cult is Christendom's mainstream religions with thousands of denominations having different opinions, different beliefs and not in unity with each other. THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!
@@Mark-ec3lp your definition of a cult sounds like the Catholic church! The leadership wearing funny clothes and hats and burning people alive by the thousands during the middle ages who disagreed with the Pope
🔥 MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD 🩸 OF
OF JESUS CHRIST, SAVE US
AND THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎
I really need to learn more about this… I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness but had a bad experience and a lot of guilt centered associated with it so I abandoned the religion and Christianity all together and took a more Pagan route/experimenting with other faiths but Jesus never left my heart and has called me back and I want to answer the call, but I want to serve God the right way, I want to understand. I need more faith and clarity right now, please pray for me.🙏❤
I have so many questions. First, I’ve been looking into Catholicism but I can’t really agree with their glorification of saints or the images that are almost worshipped, especially since Jesus taught us how to pray and never mentioned praying to/through a saint or even angel. It seems like idolatry to me. Do you agree with that? And secondly I was always taught that the holy spirit is God’s active force, not a feeling, separate thing. Why is that so?
Also, who are the 144,000? I was taught a certain way but now I’m unsure
Hi, I was born in, but never baptized in the organization. When my dad refused a blood transfusion I decided to look into things more closely. I found a place called JW facts that is full of information. It will answer your questions. It really helped me.
@@jenniferm6141 Thank you for the reference 🙏🫶
@@sophiasmith6363 for your question on the 144,000 just type JW facts 144,000 in a search . I honestly was very confused about the doctrine . This helped me a lot .
Great information! Thanks so much. And for the scripture to back it up
Sincere thanks for this information!

“I love you, I'm praying for you...but you are deceived.”
Not having a funeral for loved ones to cope from grief because it is classified as "idol worship" makes them unreasonable.

Wait I grew up in that religion and they have funerals like everyone else. 🤷🏻♀️
@@celticmarmite6048hope you escape the cult
Thank for the video! Would be great to hear more about the comparison of other religions / denominations and our evangelical non denominational church!
This is such a beautifully, informative video. Thank you for truth. God bless you.
Thanks for posting this. I was a jehovas witness but got out of them, their teachings are harmful and hurt you spirituality.
And mentally. I hate that cult!!
They are very dangerous
I stayed away from them for almost 20 years and it was holding me back in life. My mother has been a JW member since the 80s and tried to pressure her beliefs upon me & my sisters. To be precise, it was affecting my mentality to the point I wanted nothing to do with the organization. Again my mother tried to pressure me in it as an adult and politely turned her down. I'm happy where I am and I found God not only in a church elsewhere, but within myself
I would be cautious saying "within myself". I think that comes from new age.
Thank you pastor sir for this❤
The JW experience is really crazy. I grew up in it but my dad got screwed over by other elders and pretty much stopped participating. He also had mental and physical health problems. 27 years ago i started questioning things and quit the cult, even got disfellowshipped, but my parents never shunned me. To this day my mom will talk about some kingdom hall and organization stuff to me and i just nod my head. I'd never ever try to talk her out of it, she's 79 and finds it satisfying. Last year the leadership said that people like me might still get saved at Armageddon and i hope that makes her feel better. When i looked at historical Christianity i realized a lot of what i was taught Christians believed were straw men. Though i still think JWs got a lot of things right about primitive Christianity, which had always been a work in progress. You did a pretty good job with this and it often surprises me that so many former JWs become born again. I tried it and it didn't work for me.
They need an identity and to fill the void in their lives. It’s hard for them to come to terms with their own mortality and want something to have hope in.
@cygnustsp Hi, l was just reading your comment. l didn't quite get your last part though - was it that you tried JW's or tried being born again?
@@ncp5957 I tried the born again thing. Didn't work. I'm too analytical. Besides I don't see anything in the Bible that says anyone goes to heaven. If I were to believe in YHWH again I'd probably have to be a Jew.
@@cygnustsp Thxs for your reply. Yes, the born again experience can feel tough to receive for us analytical people! But don't give up. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is received by faith, just like the faith needed for answers to prayer or receiving a miracle or like anything those people in Heb 11 received. Faith is basically just taking God at His Word and not wavering. Like when you believe a word from a trusted friend, you know they'll keep their word and can believe them. It takes effort and tenacity sometimes to stay the course and not be moved when everything in the physical looks contrary. 1 Pet 1:7. I had little knowledge about receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit when l first heard about it. But l saw Rom 8:9 (latter part) and l was determined to receive no matter what - my eternity was at stake here! Acts 2:38 too. And l wanted to hear/know God too. I did everything l knew (prayer etc) during the next few months and l received in almost a year. One day l was reading an article about the baptism in the Holy Spirit, going through the scriptures on it (faith comes by hearing too). I felt God's presence and that night l asked and received. Thank you LORD! I am certain believers are meant to receive at baptism, early on in the christian walk, but so often wrong/lack of teaching etc robs people. Some people receive with amazing experiences, some are not so obvious to any observers. Receiving the Holy Spirit isn't meant to be difficult, those in Acts chps 7,10 & 19 received very soon. Don't give in. Luke 11:13.
On heaven - l see saints will be living on earth when Jesus returns. But l haven't found any mention of saints living in heaven when Jesus returns. They reign with Him on earth. New Jerusalem comes to earth in Rev too
Jew - maybe messianic jew would fit better:). Or skip any names and just follow Jesus. Denominations often have so many additions to the scriptures:(
There have been two groups who have given me a severe headache when engaging them in conversation.....JWs and Mormons.
Even as a teenager, I never clicked with JWs.
Cause the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is true, and you can't fight against truth. JW are just argumentative.
Do NOT ever engage in conversation or argument with them. They are schooled and influenced by religious spirits. They love to argue. There is no reason for you to sink to that level. You'll simply become as foolish as they are if you do. Let the religious foolish ones remain foolish. They are much too proud to ever listen or question their own rediculous belief system. Don't waste your precious time! Personally, I'd rather clean my toilet rather than engage with them......
I hated when I was younger I had to go to meetings at a school night I lost sleep because of it
Same
I am Russian orthodox Christian I could never imagine not believing that Jesus isn’t god
I'm a greek orthodox, but I left both ORTHODOX AND JWS.
they are very bad false Christianities.
Still though, Jesus is not God.
His personality, resembles God.
He is LIKE HIS FATHER, BUT NOT GOD.
Jesus never said, " that he is God "
He never took the head of his Father Jehovah Role.
Plus it was ORTHODOX that removed the name Jehovah from the Bible.
Which is why I left ORTHODOXY!
My boyfriend is JW & I’m praying for his deliverance .😢
Why pray for his? Where you sending him that’s allegedly better?
The last time a JW came to our home , invited them in and told them I wanted to witness to them about my salvation through Jesus Christ. The JW 'JW's refused my invitation to hear about Jesus and left.
God created hell for the devil? Makes no sense? Why does the Bible say that Satan's head will be crushed and that Satan and his angels are thrown into the lake of fire?
Satan is under Jesus feet. Trample on the snake 🐍 and scorpions 🦂. Satan and the angels that rebelled against God, along with those that left their dwelling to mate with the daughters of man, went against God. To simplify it they want nothing with God so why wouldn’t it make sense for God to make a place for those who want nothing to do with him?? As for the head stomping it signifies the power God/Jesus has over satan. I’m sure someone else will come along and explain it in more detail, just kind of giving you the short version. God bless you.
Hell, what does the Bible say that it represents?
@dorcaso1619 There are several scriptures that describe Hell. Mostly as God's burning wrath or the complete absence of God. I like the book of Isaiah cause it tells not only of God's mercy but of his wrath. And the ultimate wrath from God is to be without him which is Hell.
@@dorcaso1619Hell is known as the grave as the Hebrews knew it. Hell as the greeks knew it was an eternally burning place.
There is a difference between Hell/Sheol/Gehenna/Hades, the place for departed unsaved people and the headquarters of the Devil/Demon, and the Lake of Fire, the place God will eventually punish the Devil, the false prophet, the anti-Christ unbelievers etc. The bible says the place called Hell itself will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.
"And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." Revelation 20:14
My whole family are JW's. They refuse to speak to me because I walked away from the organization in 2010. It's a sad situation because we all live within 5 - 10 minutes of each other. 🤷♀
Edit: Thank you everyone for commenting! I left out a big portion of my story the first time I commented above. For the sake of brevity: I haven't really seen any of my family members for several years and that was only from running into them at the grocery store twice. About 10 days ago, my husband agreed to locate my 86 yr. old mother so that I could tell her that I love her before she dies. My much older sister takes care of her so he went to my sister's house to locate my mom. Husband and sister spoke for an hour. She asked him for my photo, address and phone number. My mom either wasn't present at my sister's home or she was in another room and didn't come out. She nor my mom have contacted me, not even for their "memorial" which is fine. I gave them an open door and they didn't reciprocate. My conscience is clear.
That's horrible. I'm sorry to hear this. I hope more family members come out from them.
@RepentandBelieveintheGospel123 Thank you, I do pray for them. My husband recently reached out to my sister who is 20 years my senior. He went to her home and they spent an hour talking. He gave her our address and phone number whenever she wants to reach out.
I can relate, the organization has completely torn apart my family. I'm now Christian ✝️ thanks to God. But it's been almost 2 decades since I have spoken or seen my parents.
Praise God we have him. I hope God will bless you and your family and pull them out as well.
I am terribly sorry to hear this. Over a dozen years ago I must have spent easily close to 100 hours of research and tried, to no avail, bring a fellow colleague to Christ.
Little did I know then that these people (your family) have a demonic oppression that has blocked their ability to reason and think independently.
Truth, great wisdom doesn't work.
This can only be won sister through warfare as you are fighting a strong spirits of religion.
Find others with a similar situation, pray together, pray the blood of Christ over the thoughts and minds. Use every authority you have in Christ---,be persistent!! In the meantime, you have your other family routing for you. Your brother in Christ---, Luc
@@Rhonda_Maldonado_61824I commented below. Hope you read it.
Please pray for my friend Lydell, he is a Jehovah Witness. Praying he comes to the true knowledge of Jesus Christ and accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
JWs are those from churches and other religions who found the TRUTH.
Why would anyone want them to go back to those false religions?
The only reason would be because JWs existence shows up the false beliefs of others. JWs already know what those false religions teach. They were once part of them.
(Matthew 24:9) “Then people will hand you over to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.
If he is a JW, then he already accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
I grew up as one of Jehovahs witnesses, and was baptized in 2012 they actually refer to the holy spirit as Gods active force. And I do not agree with the doctrine; half of my family on my moms side follow full throttle blindly. And I respect their decision, but I’m going to follow Christ not an organization. Peace and blessings to you.❤
I have a lovely student who is a JW. She recently invited me to her church. We recently had a discussion where I pointed out to her that Jesus is God. She is a very lovely person and I pray she finds a church that is not a cutl
haha jesus is god, when he is in the cross who is he talking to?
Well said your speak words of truth...
I remember there was this one guy in my class who was a Jehovah's witness, and one Thursday we were sitting in chemistry waiting for the bell to ring to go home and he just kinda randomly started excitedly bouncing in his seat and said "I can't wait for tomorrow." So I asked "what's going on tomorrow?" He said that he was waking up at 5 to be in Portland by 6 to walk around the city and knock on peoples doors all day. So I said "that sounds awful. Why are you excited about that?" And he said "because I don't have to come to school." And I just said that I'd much rather be at school than do that.
Can you please tell us where it is written in the bible about the immortal soul?
As a former JW, I appreciate and approve of this video message. Thank you and God bless.
Amen! But they actually have a heavily altered version of the Bible-their new world translation. So, I wish you could've suggested they read a reputable standard Bible like NKJV, ESV or NASB.
1984 new world translation is arguably the best translation that's primarily based on the masoretic text (LXX and dead sea scrolls are better manuscript traditions) It's probably fair to say the 2013 edition is a little poorer and I'd agree ESV is pretty solid but whatever the denominations shortcomings there bibles whilst not faultless are high tier. I own a layman's parallel bible and see much greater liberties taken with the living bible for example into skewed paraphrase territory
I’ve been studying on and off with Jehovah’s Witnesses and could never figure out why I keep stopping my Bible studies. I started in 2017 fell off and tried again just recently and fell off again. The first time I started I just didn’t get it. And I felt like God’s presence left from me. It’s been a lot and I keep wondering if they’re really a cult or part of the Illuminati as some would say. And yea they tell you you’re not really supposed to be praying to Jesus which is something I used to do. I appreciate you bringing to light some of the religion because it’s all is starting to make sense now.. I have so many of their Bibles.. and just asked for a large print🤦🏽♀️ but no wonders why I wasn’t getting it.
All religions are false man. Just stories to make people comfortable and hopeful while they slowly give in to age and sickness.
Don't waste anymore time on it. Use that time to live an enjoy life. It's gone in a blink. You can't save your own skin anyways.
Please please pray for my brother Lionel, who became JW 10 years ago 🇵🇭, an elder, and still part of that organization to be set free in Jesus name 🙏🏽
What kind of loving God would design Hell, a place of torment?
Hell is the grave, where people are unconscious until the resurrection. Then hell will be emptied, as people are resurrected, then hell is thrown into the lake of fire, meaning never to come back. Gone forever.
KJV Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
A very cruel god.
I go to ambaptist church, praise God. Hallelujah🙏❤🎉
I spent over 30 years in this organization. Happy that I woke up and left this cult! Jesus Christ is the truth, the way and the life, not a man made organization!
As someone who knows quite a bit about the religion but never attended their church I would have to say no!
Good video, thanks. Jesus Christ is King.
Back in the 60s, as a very young hospital tech, I remember having to comfort a young nurse who was very distressed after watching a young child die because his JW parents refused a transfusion. Fortunately UK law was changed not long after, so that children who are unlucky enough to have parents in this foul cult are now made wards of court as soon as they arrive at hospital.
Still happening everywhere. Stupid silly cult.
JW felt off to me and so I stopped going to the kingdom hall with my Grandma when i was about 12. I went a few more times here and there but not every time to make her happy, and every time i felt it in my gut that it was off, something wasn't right. I'm 22 now and she still is a part of it, I always believed in god but I didn't believe the ways they did. I left organized religion altogether when i was 12 but the brainwashing is still carved into me even now. I find it hard to assimilate and believe what other christians believe because the way i was raised the JW beliefs are just carved into my mind on certain subjects. Even though I'm aware of this its so hard to shake it and its hard to listen to what christians believe and it has left me with lasting trust issues on religion. When you're brought up with this way of thinking its so hard to trust what the truth is. I have a son now and i will not subject him to the sad, lonely childhood i had. I couldnt participate in holiday festivities at school so i was separated, had to sit out when others were singing christmas songs in chorus, couldnt go to many chorus events because they just so happened to be at a church, no birthdays, no participating in my friends birthdays, because it all "takes glory away from god and puts it onto yourself or someone else" and for holidays it was all pagan, even mothers day? Ive done research into all of it and its just not true. I cant stand what theyve done to me and its hard to change.
JWs are a cult. A deadly one. Stay away

That tells you right there tho they aren’t “desperate” for people. They don’t need anyone. It’s all about God. Jehova God knows you and knows me and wants us to have a relationship with him and to find eternal life not eternal death and that’s what the most important thing
Remove the log in your eye before trying to remove the spark in another. You can preach love and not attack others but pray for them if you feel they have lost the way.
@@bigzachful It says more loudly that they don’t really care about their co-worker’s eternal soul if they will not share their “good news” with him.
@@user-bv6kj7ux1o
Well since there is no such thing as a eternal soul I doubt they thought that.
I don't know where you live but in my country it is illegal and most likely the reason they're not preaching to you at work. It's a form of harassment and they wouldn't do anything that would "make jehovah look bad"
Jehova has helped my family SO much. My sister was doing drugs and had a very bad boyfriend and my family prayed for her to get better and safe. Now my sister is no longer doing drugs, got married with a guy who cares about her, and is doing SO much better❤ it’s no coincidence that this has happened. Jehova loves us and just wants to give us the life that we deserve. Think what you think, believe what you believe, but I know that I am in the right path.
Let's talk about the molester protection.
So what....there are millions of Christians in every church that has had the same experience...
What are you trying to prove with such a generic boring response?
I was a JW and have been out for just over a year. Please do some research. The religion has brainwashed you so you don’t use your critical thinking skills and abilities to discern what is facts. Religion appeals to emotions and uses them to form a dependency that overlooks the dangerous behaviour that goes on. There religion is spending millions of dollars covering up child abuse. Their doctrine is dangerous and goes against human rights.
You know Satan is always at work,
I heard similar storys, of people who were in Orthodox Church and struggled with addiction and sin. And when the left the Church for another denomination all their temptations went away... You know why ? Because Satan is content with where they are now.
JW's are the reason why I broke up the best relationship I had, I had to break up with her because if we didn't she would be shunned by her own family, how is that a good example of love?
Amazing revelation.♥️🙏..thank for this, Pastor.
Your associating Charles Russel with Seventh Day Adventist is in error. Please correct. He may have taught the Advent as part of Baptist preacher William Millers belief, but he never was a member of the Seventh day Adventist denomination. SDA’S accept the Divinity of Christ and equality and eternity of the Trinity. None are created beings. Salvation is by grace and faith in Christ alone. Ephesians 2:9 Much more can be added but space is limited. Thank you for correcting this error.
I’m glad you commented this.. I was just going to comment how it was dishonest about Charles Russel being SDA. He may have taken some teachings from the millerites (who had influence in starting the SDA church) but was not a member or associated.
I was a third generation witness and left when I realized they were false prophets claiming to be the only channel God uses.
Vlad- they put so much emphasis on the name Jehovah. A name created in the 16th century, latinized form combing Adonai and Yahweh. Please do a video on this! It’s what keeps them thinking they are the only ones with “The Truth” because they use that true name. It wasn’t even invented until later, and it’s an invented name that holds no special powers, or divine protection. That subject doesn’t get enough credit and is something that holds them down and their ideology and brainwashing.
The name of Jehovah can be traced back to the Dead Sea Scrolls.
And even though they didn’t use vowel points during that era, they used vowel letters.
Then around 500-1000 C.E. the Masoretes, who came up with the vowel points, began to preserve the Hebrew biblical text.
I believe we have 3 of those Masoretic texts in existence today;
The Aleppo Codex, The Cairo Codex, and the Leningrad Codex; These Masoretic texts date back to about 1000 C.E. and they’re the base masuscripts by which most Old Testament Bibles are translated from.
And because Hebrew went semi-dormant for a large window of time, it hasn’t had a chance to evolve like other languages. Also, when it became an official language in Israel in 1948, they adopted some of the vocabulary from the Masoretic Text. So the Hebrew spoken today in Israel is very similar to the Hebrew written in the Masoretic text.
So, if you show someone in Israel (who knows Hebrew) 1 of the 6000+ places that the divine name appears in the Leningrad Codex or today’s Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, they will tell you how to pronounce that name.
There is no mystery on how to pronounce the divine name, because; just like we know the english alphabet, they know the Hebrew alphabet.
It’s pronounced YehOvah; The first letter is a yOd with a vowel point of a sheva under it, the second letter is a heh, the third letter is a vav with a vowel point of a quamets under it, and the fourth letter is a heh; YehOvah.
Additionally, we look at the names in the Bible that have the divine name embedded in them as an abbreviated form and no one questions these names.
JehOram - יְהוֹרָם - YehOram - meaning Jah is exalted - 2 Kings 1:17
JehOshaphat - יְהוֹשָׁפָט - YehOshapat - meaning Jah is judge - 2 Chronicles 17:1
JehOshabeath - יְהוֹשַׁבְעַת - YehOshabeat - meaning Jah is oath - 2 Chronicles 22:12
Jehoiada - יְהוֹיָדָע Yehoiadah - meaning Jah knows - 2 Chronicles 23:1
Joshua - יְהוֹשֻׁעַ - YehOshua - Jah is salvation - Joshua 1:1
Jonathan - יוֹנָתָן YehOnatan - Jah has given - 2 Samuel 13:3
So, this idea that Jehovah’s name was created in the 16th Century just isn’t true.
I would love to have a constructive dialogue with you about this, if you’re up for it.
Former Jehovah witness here. I will tell you for free that there is no one church or religion on earth that is 100% correct. I walked away and joined a liberal trinity church. I would still walk back into a Kingdom hall anytime.
It does not belong to earthing man to direct his own step!
That's awsome info,,
I believe in Yahweh Jehovah, and that he's Jesus father, says it in the bible, and not one religion is correct, as man inherent sin, but good for the bible knowledge,
@fabiankeighran5350 I live in Kenya, Africa. The name Yahweh exists in the some native languages long before the colonials arrived, long before the bible as we know it

@@user-nr7jm1so5j agreed or those who knew about God and his Son our redeemer but refused to walk in the way of truth
It sounds like you walked from one bad experience to another. The answer is to read the Bible alone (Not the NWT) and immerse yourself into it and it will reveal itself to you. When you do this you will recognize if a church is in God’s will, or a counterfeit. Good translations include the New American Standard, King James and New King James.
I am a JW doing my research and questioning my beliefs, something i found interesting is that i have always gone to a Spanish congregation and idk if it is a translation thing but i have never heard of Jesus being Michel. Honestly I've never even heard Michel be mentioned ever, like at all even though I've heard of the arc angels before. Again It could just be a translation thing since i have been raised in a Spanish congregation

Thank you for sharing your insights. While you made some valid points, it would have been helpful if you could provide some references from the Bible to support your arguments against Jehovah's Witnesses, particularly regarding the ten points you mentioned. Your responses seemed to be based on speculation rather than direct quotes from the holy book. It would be great if you could refer to specific chapters and verses for us to fact-check.
Pastor Vlad, i tried 20 days water fast but i vomit on my 5th day, should i stop immediately? Pls need your advise
You don’t need an answer from him, he’s a human being. Pray, If the Most High did not direct you to do this fast then stop.
Fasting is not for making god agree on something but it is for our discipline and our strength.

Pastor, this is a random question but, can a woman be a pastor/head of a church?
Jehovah’s heavenly kingdom was established in 1914 Jesus has not returned again. The signs were given that we would know the signs of his return.
So what you’re saying is it’s false??
God's Heavenly kingdom has always existed....God has always been on the throne.Even before Christ came...look it up. Jesus will receive the kingdom after He returns to get His people to rule with. Check in Daniel about the Acient of Days.
Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb: I am Jehovah, that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth (who is with me?);

I used to be part of the group.
However I couod not make any good friends with any of them.
I still do love Jehovah and Jesus as Jehovah is Creator of everything, and his son Jesus.
Yes I love these two, but I will never love/ like any Witnesses.
I had one that nearly tore up my family, she ( JW) kept fighting with my mum, after I told her to stop pushing me to go to the meetings when I have a serious head injury from a car accident.
She would not understand my health issues, my amplified pain, from the car injury.
I wrote back to the congregation that this Witness, was ban from coming to my house.
She kept coming back to argue and fight.
I recently had another Witnesse I was sort of friends with, she too, accused me of not going to the meetings.
So she accused and talked nasty about how I can go to the shop but not the meetings.
She KNEW what I told her about my car injury.
These Witnesses seem friendly at first, but they Are NOT.THEY WILL LITERALLY BREAK UP YOUR FAMILY, TO JOIN WITH THEIRS
Since they say God is creating his own family.
It is evil and dangerous.
They don't care about you, your family unless you " follow them" put Jehovah first in everything.
I had fights with a few Witnesses.
STAY OUT OF THIS VERY DANGEROUS GROUP
You said "Yes I love these two, but I will never love/ like any Witnesses."
(Revelation 3:14) “To the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ceʹa write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God:
Your anecdote is not how JW are taught to be. We encourage people who are interested to go to meetings, but it is their own choice to make.
I use to be in a cult called the way international. Thank the Lord He drew me to Him Self. The true God ❤
Jesus is a son, a teacher, a carpenter, a shepherd, a lord, ❤️🙏
A ransom for us 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Yes, Michael (heaven) became Jesus (earth) then became Michael again when he ascended back to heaven after his being put to death on the stake.
Jehovah is the One and Only God for us.
Jesus was his first creation.
All other things were created through him, but BY Jehovah's spirit and choice. Without Jehovah's command, power, spirit, and direction nothing is possible.
THIS IS A DIRECT EXCERPT FROM A
JW ARTICLE:
"God created the angels through Jesus, whom the Bible calls “the firstborn of all creation.” Describing how God used Jesus in creation, the Bible says: “By means of [Jesus] all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,” including the angels." (Colossians 1: 13-17)
1 Corinthians 8:6 (General)
6 there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.
Hebrews 1:2 (General)
2 Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the systems of things.
So, despite that man saying what he said, he's not specifically saying WHY we are not Christians. If he's saying we have more than one God, he's incorrect in his information. He's assuming and interpreting the "creation" aspect as having happened because of Jesus doing it of his own will and power--which he did not.
Jehovah was/is the single most true source of all things that have come into being--and that is our belief.
This is me thinking out loud now--
I just think when he created His Son Jesus, after seeing what He made and knowing all of the possibilities he could give out of his True and Loyal Love, it was a phenomenal and overwhelming feeling to Him, so He kept on going with a really great thing! 💕
Hi possible Brother! Appreciate your response with the scriptures. But I would like to add that YES we ARE Christians Christian means followers of Christ. We follow Jesus Christ teaching closely and even commemorate his death every year. Please to those reading let that be CLEAR
Nope. You are.not Christians because you deny that Jesus and the Father are one and you also believe Jesus was created. The Truth is ... He is the "IAM".
YOU ARE LOST AND WILL GO TO HELL UNLESS YOU REPENT! Stop 🛑 your LIES….Michael IS NOT JESUS!!
The Son was made of a woman, made under the law... He did not exist as Michael the archangel in heaven...@@jbsikes6841
@@jbsikes6841Jesus and the father work as One speaking of unity or togetherness for the heavenly father's ultimate purpose but not "one" in the sense of one complete entity. God clearly doesn't have a birthdate or death date and Jesus did. No one has ever seen God and survived but more than 500 eyewitnesses seen Christ before and after his resurrection!
Wake up and read the bible... Jehovah witnesses organization has imperfect humans who funded and established a forward thinking revolutionary congregation of serious evangelists. There's nothing wrong with that. Apparently these people were prophetically impatient or a little too over zealous and prematurely published untrue predictions. Many people throughout the course of time have predicted events and were embarrassed afterwards. Its totally unfair that jws are in 2024 are still taking the heat for a predictive mishap. Haha. As earnest bible students the early forefathers of Jehovah witnesses should of remembered that "no one know the hour except the father". But maybe they read certain verses more than others. Nonetheless what's next....??? This organization has a good reputation concerning methodically teaching the true concepts of the bible. I personally forgive those predictive publications from the early 1900s and won't let it negate the holy spirit inspired education in the kingdom halls. The holy bible is the boost to do his will and Jehovah witnesses have a proven track record of respectfulness, understanding and amazing evangelism. This disparaging CZcams video trying to discredit jws is borderline disgraceful because it's spiritually scaring unbiased people away from honest truth. The holy bible is on Jehovah witnesses side and there philosophies try to emulate first century Christian beliefs. If Jesus doesn't know the hour how could he be God? If Jesus out of his own mouth admitted the lack of knowing everything its clearly shows he's beneath God Almighty the invisible heavenly father. Don't break the commandments but truly understand Jesus unique role as the exalted messiah under God hierarchy.
I am sooo glad that I am Catholic. Whew! I feel sorry for JW people.
You may not like my comment but being Catholic does not save you. I was Catholic. When did you repent from your sins and get baptised by water? When did you get baptised by the Holy Spirit? According to the Bible, in John 3:5, that unless one is born of the water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. I know you will tell me that you were baptised/christened as a baby. According to Acts 2: 38 and Acts 3:19, there must be repentance and conversion before baptism. At what point as a baby did you repent ? And if I remember correctly, most catholics do not read the actual Bible for themselves since they are taught that only the priests are able to read and understand it. So unless you have come out from this, you are in the same position as the JW's . Please repent then be baptised before Christ's return. He loves you and it is not His wish that anyone should perish
The Catholic church is no better than the JW. There are many false doctrines and beliefs being taught in the Catholic organization as well, and millions of people are being deceived. The main one is that priests CANNOT forgive sins. Only God can forgive and redeem our sins because He is our Lord and Savior. No Catholic priest was crucified, died on the cross and resurrected because of the sin nature of man. Nobody but Jesus, who was without sin. Also, there is no purgatory either. It doesn't exist! Our eternal destination when we die is either heaven or hell.
WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL
THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE
From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5
Isa 9:6 the word Prince in the Prince of Peace means PATRON ANGEL also Leader. WHO IS the ONE LEADER that we have? Jesus. Now, that same exact Hebrew word was used for Daniel 12:1 which is used for Michael the Archangel. So are you saying there are MANY LEADERS now?
@@pauladurand4812as Catholics we Believe in original sin. Baptizing our baby establishes in remove such sin. You should have known that as a former Catholic or maybe you had bad teachers which unfortunately guided away from the one true faith established by God and given a human representative through Saint Peter our first Pope by Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
@@maverick7291 Every one, according to the Bible, must accept the gift of salvation for themselves. In John 1:12 we must receive Him before we can become children of God. A baby is not able to make that decision. Original sin is not washed away by 3 splashes of water on the head. When we go down into the water, it symbolises going in soiled in sin. Our being totally immersed means our sins are completely washed away. Our coming out of the water means that we have risen in Christ and we have left those sins behind. What message are we giving with those 3 splashes? What has happened to the sins then? Has that baby's sin been washed away? No. Just think about it. Go to Jesus yourself. Allow the Holy Spirit to advise you there. Don't take my word for it. Repent of your sins for yourself and get baptised. Receive your gift for yourself. I pray that you do. Then you will understand the freedom and peace that Jesus gives. I love ❤️ you. Receive Him today
Thank you Lord for this revelation continue allowing God to use pastor
Started a couple of months ago reading the Bible and the first experience I ever had of someone trying to preach to me was a Jehovah Witness. She sounded convincing but after Googling who they are I asked her about Jesus and his second coming. At that point I had already read the book of Mathew and I do remember reading the warnings from Jesus about him false prophets coming in his name. When asked she referred me to a different verse in the bible Old Testament which claimed that God is Jehovah. But she was in capable of explaining Jesus second coming which hasn't taken place, yet. I am a new Christian, so I am still learning but I felt something false in her words. There are so many false teachers and false Shepards. Thanks for the video.
Lies. Charles T. Russell was never affiliated with Seventh Day Adventist Church. In fact, C.T. Russell was born in 1852, about three years after Miller’s death and eight after “the Great Dissapointment”, and was raised as a Presbyterian.
THANK YOU.
This aim to align JW to having SDA origin or connections is a fabrication
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. Read Malachi 4
That's why grace is given 🎉
Thank you very much. I have family members who are Jehovah Witnesses know I understand better.
They are definitely not part of the church because they only follow the old testament teachings and the church is in the new testament. Of course, some should still be followed but they do not follow any new testament doctrine and therefore don't know anything abut salvation, hell or heaven, the rapture end times etc. A great video!
