- I share what I learnt, following my recent interactions with the Jehovah's Witnesses.
We know the the Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult, that are deceived by The Watch Tower, but I learnt something else that is interesting!

They are a true religious organization!

This is why:

Isaiah 28:14-15
Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, YOU braggarts, YOU rulers of this people who are in Jerusalem: 15 Because YOU men have said: “We have concluded a covenant with Death; and with She´ol we have effected a vision; the overflowing flash flood, in case it should pass through, will not come to us, for we have made a lie our refuge and in falsehood we have concealed ourselves”;
.
"We have concluded a covenant with Death"
.
Millions Now Living Will Never Die
.
.
But hold on! Those millions are now all dead.
.
Isaiah 28:18
And YOUR covenant with Death will certainly be dissolved, and that vision of YOURS with She´ol will not stand.
.
.
The Governing Body are the rulers of God's people:
.
"YOU rulers of this people who are in Jerusalem"
.
.
Jerusalem, the Booth of David:
.
Acts 15:13-18
After they quit speaking, James answered, saying: “Men, brothers, hear me. 14 Sym´e·on has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And with this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written, 16 ‘After these things I shall return and rebuild the booth of David that is fallen down; and I shall rebuild its ruins and erect it again, 17 in order that those who remain of the men may earnestly seek Jehovah, together with people of all the nations, people who are called by my name, says Jehovah, who is doing these things, 18 known from of old.’
.
"people who are called by my name, says Jehovah"

Jehovah's Witnesses!

They are fulfilling bible prophecy in exquisite detail.

@@1NOIAM What religious organization is fulfilling Jesus' words at Matt. 24:14, preaching about God's Kingdom in the entire world? No other religion is able to accomplish this work, over one BILLION hours preaching, baptizing, and making disciples in over 240 lands earth wide.
THAT alone is proof of Jehovah's backing and clear evidence who his people are. You can ignore the evidence but it speaks for itself, we don't need anyone's approval but Jehovah's.
@@djparsons7363 But you preach "Worship the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses" rather than the Good News of Jesus Christ, our ONLY leader .
To understand the Bible is to understand there is no triune God in it!
If you would like a very long detailed thesis on exactly why your pagan trinitas is nothing to do with the Bible, let me know, I will be more than happy to challenge your false assumptions with scripture.
Contrastingly feel free to send me all the scriptures you believe are representative of the triune usurper and I will have a field day decimating the triune philosophical metaphorical role playing figment of perverted imagination.

Hi Matt,
My paternal grandma, used to be in the JW for years, but i was too little to know what was going on... the one thing that struck me was that they have this book they stick to, and i always believed as a little girl, that nobody is more important than Jesus and how He took my place on the cross and gave me life eternal through faith in Jesus!
The lack of Jesus sacrifice in their talks... has always been a red flag and also.... what sounds like their "fantasy land promise"...
Grandma left the JW, not without a lot of pain and troubles... she threw all their literature and bought a Bible with the largest print at that time!
We then, bought her the biggest magnifying glass possible to aid her sight... nobody read more the Bible than grandma ❤ and God knows the rest 🤗
How did Jesus take someone's place on the cross?
How about an infant or a little child who has never sinned when they die young? Didn't Jesus' death cover them too?
What the churches have come up with and what the Bible teaches are total extremes. Those who become JWs left the churches because of the nonsense these teach.
JWs are the only ones who do believe in the DEATH of Jesus. Others claim he was play acting.
@@tongakhan230 On the other hand, there are so many JW"s who are leaving the org to become Christians.
@@eyeswideopen8570 : Don't fall for this misinformation. There are JWs who cannot stay the course of loyalty and have to be removed.
1 Corinthians 5:13....“Remove the wicked person from among yourselves.”
But these will never go looking around for some other religion. How many TRUTHS can there be?
Once someone learns the TRUTH, and becomes a JW, how can he unlearn it? Not possible.
(John 8:32) and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
People who come on these forums and say "I was a JW until I found Christ" are fakes. They have never stepped into a Kingdom Hall. They say such to draw attention to themselves.
@@tongakhan230 #1: We are ALL born into sin.......THAT is in the bible. There is such a thing as "the age of accountability.......when is that for children? I believe it's different for each child. Children that die ..... before the age of accountability go to heaven.
As for Jesus "taking someone's place" on the cross? He took MY place, paid the price for MY sins.......I believe on Him and His FINISHED WORK on that cross and I can now live ...... eternally.
I am so sick of "religion" and that word.......it is NOT ABOUT RELIGION. IT IS all about the gift God gave the world in Jesus Christ. Look to Him and live.......follow Him......fully God, fully man........Father, Son, Holy Ghost and these 3 are one. Yup, that IS in the Word of God/Bible.
The thief on the cross said ....... to Jesus: REMEMBER ME........that was all it took.........no baptism, no religion, no governing body, no priest.....just that man and His savior, Jesus Christ.
My savior LIVES and is sitting on God's right hand......even as I type this. I am saved in every way......sins paid for ON THE CROSS. ALL glory to God and His unspeakable gift!
@@eyeswideopen8570 JW's are Christians, people who worship anyone but Jehovah will find out they are imitation Christians.
EXJW here. Jehovah's Witnesses used to be a lot more direct and upfront telling non believers they will die at Armageddon. They still believe that but only discuss amongst themselves in their halls, rarely at the doors unless pushed. In fact if you straight out asked a JW that question they will back peddle in embarrassment.Their tact now us to def find vulnerable ones, ie someone who has recently had a death and promise they will see that loved one again shortly, or to offer this cushy promise of a life on earth for just becoming a JW. Then they require constant work for salvation, donations, and worse they are emotionally blackmailed that they may not be good enough to survive unless they work harder.
If anyone speaks to JWs ask them what happens if you want to ever leave - you will be shunned and lose all family and friends.
Ask them if they follow all Jesus commands - then read Mat 28:19,20 and ask them how they baptise new members. They do not baptise in Holy Spirit, instead they ask “Have you repented of your sins, dedicated yourself to Jehovah, and accepted his way of salvation through Jesus Christ?” & “Do you understand that your baptism identifies you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with Jehovah’s organization?” Absolutely nothing to do with Christ or the Holy Spirit - you are basically baptised into a publishing company incorporated in New York. This is only one of the many ways they claim to follow the Bible but in reality don't come anywhere close.
Thanks for sharing that! Great points!!
@@fadetoexadam182 I read what you said you don't sound like an ex Jehovah's Witness, lying and deceiving and exaggerating on the Internet is common and you fit right in, do you now go to a church that you have to PAY a clergyman to teach you about Jesus is really Jehovah in disguise,. ..who are you kidding
@@jeffnoble9757you must be new to this, hang around though you might find it more interesting than repulsive. yeah people lie and get things wrong but this dude didn't and your only real criticism was that he might be going to a church that actually recompenses their preacher by their own free will. I guarantee if the Watchtower said elders are going to be given a stipend if they regular pioneer not a single elder would refuse the money and none would be criticized for taking it.
@@cygnustsp reading your lies is crazy"recompense their preachers by their own free will"then why do hypocrites pass a money plate. Jesus never asked for money or passed a plate, like the pope many of these religious leaders live in the lap of luxury. Billy Graham for example died a multi-millionaire, Robert Schuller owned a mansion on the beach in Maui, Jim bakker of the PTL club, took in 500,000 a DAY from his followers and you call it "recompense their preachers"I can't help but laugh at your silly comments. Watch the movie SPOTLIGHT with Michael Keaton some of the scales will drop off your eyes....Guaranteed
@@cygnustsp "recompense their preachers"by begging for money at services and passing a money plate, Jesus NEVER asked for money or pass to plate. The Catholic Church turn Jesus into a business called Christianity with a paid clergy class always begging or demanding money, the Protestant movement followed the same business model, the clergy class and the Pope live in the lab luxury,Billy Graham for example died a multi-millionaire, Robert Schuller owned a mansion on the beach in Maui, Jim bakker of the PTL club took in 500,000 a DAY from his followers, and you call it "recompense for the preachers"what is silly thing to say
The road is NARROW ( A skinny Path) ..Be careful everyone. Read the Bible yourself and let the Holy Spirit teach you all truths. All these good intended doctrines are leading people astray. ❤️🙏
Amen!!!!
Totally correct! It's a sobering thought that most Christians are headed for destruction, there are comparatively few who make the grade, "many are called, few are chosen". The whole of Mathew 7 is really important, it gives one of the main reasons why this number is so high, the majority will follow the "wolves in sheep's clothing" who will lead them astray. Rather than putting their faith in God and his Son, they put their faith in men who promise to tell them everything they need to know. "Why do you call me Lord, Lord but don't do the things I tell you", they affirm Jesus is their master but they didn't obey their master! They listened to the wolves, who told them they didn't need to obey all that stuff. Jesus will say to them, "get away from me I never knew you, you workers of lawlessness".
I agree with you the road is narrow, however when speaking of leading people astray are you sure it is not this guy?
Seriously, how can we be transgrssors of the law if we are under Jesus Christ? Becareful of wolves in sheep clothing.
@@MommaBear-ml5zx We are saved by a foreign righteousness, faith in Christ, not by keeping the law.
@@MommaBear-ml5zx Read the whole of Mathew 7, it's a sobering thought, but the entire chapter contrasts two types of believer, those FEW on the narrow path to everlasting life and the MANY on the broad road to destruction. Christ will say to the MANY, why do you call me Lord, Lord but do not do the things I command? They call him master but don't obey their master. The MANY say, but didn't we do XYZ in your name! And Jesus will reply, get away from me you workers of lawlessness, I never knew you! "Many are called, few are chosen",If you read the Bible, it's clear that obedience to Christ is necessary, a change in character is necessary in your Christian walk. Be ye doers of the word, not Just hearers, is essential! It's not an optional extra, if you want to be amongst the "chosen". Elsewhere in Mathew 7 there is a clue as to why the vast majority of believers end up on the wrong path; they follow the "wolves in sheep's clothing" who lead them astray. Considering the numbers involved here, this is a serious matter, on the last day most of those throughout history who considered themselves Christian, will be rejected even those who seemed to do much for the faith. They didn't do what was asked of them, therefore it behoves us to get this right, if you're Church leader is not telling you that you have certain obligations as a Christian and is preaching a watered down message that involves little more than mentally ascending to a set of propositions (beliefs), then you are being deceived!
Absolutely spot on. The snake appealed to Eve's desires, not her obligations.
The snake in the garden was eve. There is no such thing as satan.
@@SaltandLight-yp6tuAnother atheist without an explanation....
@@markmurray5659 ,...The truth is, I am likely the only non atheist you have ever come across in your life. If you were not completely spiritually dead and blind, as well as completely Biblically illiterate, you would realize that it is you who is an atheist.
Repent of your ignorance and of your ungodliness!
@@markmurray5659 ,...Also, if you are so absolutely ignorant to believe that there is such a thing and the apostate churches 100% false manmade satan, then by all means show me where in the Bible it tells us that God made a non human spirit being that is the devil/satan?
If you can do this, then you will be the very first person in the world to show this. I will be waiting!
@@SaltandLight-yp6tu I will let the Apostle Paul answer your question. Col. 1:16: "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible." Satan himself masquerades as an ANGEL of light. ἄγγελον (angelon) 2 Cor. 11:14 Satan is one of myriads of "angels," who, as with humans, have free will. (Note that the word "Angel" simply means messenger.) PS: "Satan" is actually not a name! He has no name. Satan's various "names" are descriptions of his personality as an devil, opposer, slanderer, deceiver, seducer, etc. Just watch the nightly news and you will see him in action.
Well said. To become a JW is to become a member of an institutional system rather than a relationship with a loving heavenly Father through Christ our saviour. Let's not be fooled though. Many Christians although born again may be, through ignorance and poor teaching, in a similar relationship with an institutional system rather than developing a relationship with our Father.
Religion is a snare
Read the Bible and ask the father for Holy Spirit
Keep asking keep knocking

It can be. Everyone has religion. Not everyone has church.
@@thomasmaughan4798John 4..2 or 3 gathered together in my( Jesus/Yeshua's) name..there he is in our midst
@@kerrydwyer1879 "ohn 4..2 or 3 gathered together in my( Jesus/Yeshua's) name..there he is in our midst"
So there's *many* Gods? One for each instance of 2 or 3 people gathered in my name, anywhere on Earth, right then and there. Well that's why he's "God". he can be everywhere simultaneously! But why say he is THERE? That suggests a singularity; he is there, not here. Or here, but not there. If he is everywhere, then it is not there, he is everywhere.
Sorry, it just seems too easy to ascribe things without serious thought. Also known as "wresting scripture" putting too much weight on this verse or that, as if proof-texting convinced anyone. Well, sometimes it does!
There used to be a lot of JWs in mu immediate area. They knocked on my door at least once a month. And there was a Kingdom Hall just a few streets away. That Hall has closed after being there for 25 years. Their numbers in my area have shrunk substantially.
Yes, that sounds like a seeker friendly message.
Howdy from Kansas. 👋
There’s been a lot of reasons why including the controversy surrounding the cover up of sexual abuse in the organisation
Here is something that people who reject the message JWs bring forget.
Ezekiel 2:4...... ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says.’ 5 As for them, whether they listen or refuse to listen-for they are a rebellious house-they will certainly know that a prophet was among them.
BTW Jesus disciples would be FEW in number (Matthew 7:14).
@@tongakhan230 Jehovah is speaking to his own people here.
@@Linda-ux8un And who do think those people this days ?
@@Linda-ux8un : God was speaking of those SUPPOSED to be His own people.
Same could be said about so called Christians.
(Matthew 7:21) “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will.
Jesus draws the distinction between so- called Christians and those actually who are Christians. Note that his Disciples will be engaged in DOING God's Will.
Would people who claim to be Christian sitting at home avoiding contact with JWs be DOING anything?
Who can be identified so as to fulfill this prophecy.
(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.
Obviously a group that can be identified and who is active worldwide. JWs are commissioned to fulfill Matthew 24:14.
It is a WITNESS work.
Sadly, the world in general would ignore JWs. Jesus draws a parallel between our day and Noah's.
(Matthew 24:39) and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.
The best tool I’ve ever used to witness to a JW was Dr. Walter Martins cults reference bible. You can have it open while they are “teaching” you their doctrines, and counter their claims with verses that he lists in the footnotes and they won’t know you are doing it. I had two of them RUN out of my house when my counter claim hit their hearts hard and they had nothing to come back at me. I pray for them when they come to mind, hoping they found the truth and turned to the true Christ.
Please give a link where I can buy one?
What can people sitting at home teach Jesus' disciples going house to house?
Many JWs used to be in the churches. They would know what the churches teach.
@@tongakhan230 most Christians don’t read the Bible.
When Walter Martin had a radio show I used to listen to it and laugh and laugh and laugh. He'd debate JW's and Mormons and others tying them into a verbal pretzel knot. He would have them confessing that Jesus is God in the flesh.
It was a wonderful time and I really do miss him. Any literature you can get by him is just wonderful for apologetics.
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus : That doesn't make sense. Sorry!
How can anyone convince anyone that Jesus was God. JWs didn't fall from the sky. They were once members of churches which taught such nonsense. The TRUTH set them free (John 8:32).
Telling a JW what they would already know?
Thank you , Matthew for exposing another pitfall of this cult. Something I never thought of.
If they were really honest their brochures would state:
1.Jesus chose us and only us in 1919. All other religions are of satan. Says us.
2. We say Christ returned in 1874, and 1914.
3. Jesus became King, not at his ascension but in 1878, and then again in 1914.
4. To be a member of our group you must follow our "current new" fds no matter what. We will label you as apostate to God if you speak to any of our misinterpretaions. And If you leave us you leave God and belong to Satan himself.
5. AND..You must be baptized to THIS org to be able to survive Gods day.
We dont follow the instruction Jesus gave for baptism.
Bonus: Oh ya and no matter what you do in this life your own death (Romans 6:7) absolves you of your sins.
Bonus bonus: We have made at least 7 false end time predictions under the leadership of Jesus. We spoke above his authority to do this.
Lastly, Jesus came to include the gentiles in John 10:16 as the fulfillemnt of prophecy, but we say he was talking about a second class of Christians. So you are not covered under the new covenant and can't be a child of God because you are more than likely considerd our defenition of other sheep, which by the way we didn't discover until 1935.
The cult leaders of the jws bainwash good people into believing wholeheartedly in their misguided doctrines!! Ask any jw and they will say the light is just getting brighter. Their beliefs are "subject to change" lmao

Thank you for this video. I am a Jehovah’s Witness that got roped into being a witness. Back in February 2023, a little old lady and another sister came knocking on my door. Being Asian, I am taught to respect the elderly. So, I gave her my time at the door, which was a big mistake because she inched her way into my life. Fast forward Summer of 2024, the present, and I am now an unbaptized publisher. I’m required to attend meetings and participate in field service, and for some reason my guilt will not allow me to say “ENOUGH,” to these people. They really do take a mile when you give them an inch. And they require you to submit to the “Governing Body,” like a slave . If the Governing Body tells you to “Jump,” you’re supposed to say “How High?” If the Governing Body tells us witnesses no blood, they have essentially given me a death sentence, because I’m constantly anemic.
So, I secretly watch your videos, which would be considered apostasy, hoping that you’ll give me enough courage to turn away from them.
Anyways, you always ask for our prayers but now I’m asking you to pray for me! Pray that I finally get a backbone to these people that have indoctrinated me into their dangerous group. - Jenna W.
I will pray for you Jenna. 🙏🏻
I will pray for you too. But I'm wondering what you're afraid might happen if you leave.
@@deannemiller891 I’m not afraid of anything. I just don’t know how to say enough because of guilt. And apart of me do believe in some of their beliefs, just not all is the problem.

Hi Jenna...I'm 8n a similar situation to you,have you also watched Lloyd Evans on CZcams, he will definitely help grow that backbone you want 😊
Recently I got entangled with a JW. It started out innocently enough, but I soon realized they were trying to rope me into their cult. I told the JW that, and she vehemently denied it. However, the same day I received a handwritten letter addressed to me personally from another JW. Then I got yet another visit from a different JW. I thought I made it plain from the start that I wasn't interested in ANY organized religion, but they are very persistent, and won't leave you alone. I was disgusted to discover that they had "prophesied" in 1914 that Jesus was coming back. When it failed to happen, they just doubled down, and said he did com, but in the spiritual, not the physical, and that he would return one day (which will be the 3rd Coming). Nonsense.
Someone once told me that if JWs are continually coming to your door and bothering you, that you can call the police. According to Google, you can even sue them if they are harassing you. Go online and read more about it. Best wishes to you.
Maranatha!

Let me ask you, do you understand Daniel's prophecy of the kingdoms? Also, do you realize Noah preached about the flood for 120 years, being mocked and persecuted the entire time.
I'm not sure how you get 3x, for the JWs claim Jesus became King of Heaven in 1914 and he was coming, not that he has come.

@@MommaBear-ml5zx Noah might have preached about the flood for a 120 years. But, he never said the flood will come in the 14th year, 35th year, 75th year, etc. and then change it saying the light has gotten brighter. The JW's did say the end will come many times - the most popular ones are 1914 and 1975. Then, they changed it with arguments around "light becoming brighter" and "we said he was coming, not that he has come" and others.
The bible is very clear about false prophets (Deut 18: 20-22) and what their end will be (Rev 20:10). Please read the Bible, always taking into account the context. Save yourself. Get out of this demonic cult.

@@vusimngomezulu2500 : Obviously Jesus has only ONE UNITED group of Disciples worldwide. 1 Corinthians 1:10.
Here is how to identify them.
(Matthew 10:7) As you go, PREACH, saying: ‘The KINGDOM of the heavens has drawn near.’
JWs are fulfilling this following prophecy.
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the KINGDOM will be PREACHED in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Who are obviously Jesus' DISCIPLES.
To say there is no salvation seems cruel to some people who genuinely think it might be a way to become closer to God. Until they learn that Jesus is the only way, it seems unfair.
I went to a couple of their meetings even after I read much of the bible. Nothing was obvious to me about them being counterfeit, until I heard a testimony about Jesus being very upset with its founder.
The one thing I didn't like was that their book is the Watch Tower. They spend most of their time reading a commentary about the bible, than the bible itself.
Jesus is the only way But Salvation is a universal reality. 1 john 2:2 says Jesus saved the entire Kosmos in the original greek.1 Timothy 4:10 contrasts
the salvation of believers first, with the subsequent salvation of ALL MEN. 1 corinthians 15:22-28 says God will be in ALL things. Revelation 22 says
that no more curse will exist at all: and that ALL tears will be wiped way.
You need to start accepting the truth of scripture. Alan Hess on youtube might help show you this and remove that speck from your eye.
@@a-sheepof-christ9027 I think it would’ve been funnier if you said plank
They believe Jesus is the son of God as taught in the Bible.
They don't prescribe to religious customs, doctrines and traditions of men which came centuries later.
This doesn't make them heretics it makes them truth seekers.
The Bible does speak about a new world where righteousness is going to dwell, 2 Peter 3:13, so what's wrong with highlighting that to people?
One heresy they teach is that only the 144,000 are born again and that there are two classes of people, one in heaven and one on earth.
They don’t prescribe to the Bible!

2 Peter 2:21 It would have been better for them not to have accurately known the path of righteousness than after knowing it to turn away from the holy commandment they had received. 22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog has returned to its own vomit, and the sow that was bathed to rolling in the mire.”
Excellent video!! You hit the nail on the head. I hope you're feeling well, you are a blessing by continuing to minister to us when you don't always feel your best. May the Lord bring you comfort and healing my Brother!
God bless you. Thank you. Matt 🙏
Their membership has been 8 million since 2014...they can't seem to grow despite all the hours preaching, So many are leaving the cult and hundreds if not thousands are disfellowshipped every year.
"Their membership has been 8 million since 2014"
That's a rather impressive number for a not-Catholic church.
@@thomasmaughan4798 Not really. It's one of the smaller cults and stagnant in growth. Mormons are more than double at 17 million. The Catholic church is over a billion, both growing in numbers unlike Jdubs
They also deny the cross. Long story I was born into that cult, Thank God I got out. I’ve heard they’ve been making many changes recently since so many are leaving. One change is allowing beards. They were so anti beard they would “council” me many times for too much shadow on my chin. Too much to discuss here. Thank you for bringing awareness about this cult.
"They also deny the cross."
Did the cross make a request? How do you deny a cross?
people in general are leaving all Christian religions every year fewer and fewer people go to Christian churches
@@thomasmaughan4798
The cross makes a statement which then demands a decision by you and by me.
@@LarJgrip "The cross makes a statement which then demands a decision by you and by me."
Well, none of my crosses have been making statements or demanding decisions. That would be strange. The Son of God requires a decision; and no other person supercedes the Son of God (except the father; and he has handed Earth to the Son of God).
The cross is where Jesus ENDED his work; many people were crucified on crosses. The actual payment for sin appears to have taken place in the Garden of Gethsemane. On the cross, BEFORE he died, Jesus reportedly said, "It is finished." John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Dying on the cross was probably necessary, but I believe that's not where the actual atonement took place.
Many worship and pray to a cross or even a picture image of "Jesus." Both are improper. Follow Christ Himself as our only hope; not a picture, a cross, a "church" or a magnetic Jesus on your dashboard. A cross and a rabbit's foot are not good luck charms. Be careful what you teach.
Most people do not know how to witness. They don't know how to share their faith and are scared to be asked tough questions or any questions for that matter.
From my own experience in church, I went because my family did. I said the sinners prayer, and basically, what i learned was through observation. I was not discipled. For the most part, children follow the paths of the parents. And learn their religions. And as one grows, each individual should earnestly seek out the truth in all things, and this path will lead you to Christ. I honestly believe that God has given us all enough evidence to believe Him. Romans2 11-16.
But when a person is indoctrinated as a child or a young adult, it is next to impossible to convince them that they have been lied to even though you can present them with scriptures that prove otherwise. But it is possible, it takes work. And being led by the Holy Spirit.
Many who become JWs were members of churches which indoctrinated them with the 'Jesus being God' doctrine.
How did they shed that false belief?
(John 8:32) and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
God pulls out people who have a good heart and gathers them as His Witnesses. The prophecy can be found at Micah 4:1-5.
John 6:44 No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him,
2:32 The book of Revelation is misquoted by the New World Translation.
We are warned not to add or take away from the book of Revelation. Rev. 22:18,19.
Though those words apply to the book of Revelation, it is what is believed by God's worshipers. This is the principle.
1 Cor 4:6.....that through us you may learn the rule: “Do not go beyond the things that are written,”
That is why no one will dare take on JWs using the Bible.
Dear Jenna, this is how I almost got baptised.
Please also watch Beroean Pickets, Watchtower examination, JW Escape and Light over Dark ministry...❤
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 😊
What strikes me is that the good person tract shows what a person needs to do right now to be reconciled to our holy God.
The JW tract makes some pleasant promises for a future but in order to be a part of that, you need to get into their church to learn more. There is no sense of getting ready to be in God's presence if you died that moment.
Great point!!
@@lionoffireraw Thank you! God bless you!
I believe the Gospel you shared, and that in Living Waters tract.❤🙏
Few years ago, this guy i was working for was so excited that i agreed to do some bible studying with him and his wife. (JWs), although i knew a big chunk of their background/ideology as a religion having compared their NWT to my good old Tyndale Bible.
He (wont mention names), rushed off to get a pamphlet that they hand out to "non believers", or "newbies" that want to join thier organisation.
The first thing that struck me, was that the pamphlet was broken down into small paragraphs that had to be read aloud, with this back and forth thing where the non JW read a part, then they read a part, of which was basically aimed at the governing body, to be the saving Grace of all things, where anyone who knows scripture that Jesus alone is our only saviour. Not some man made religion that was actually founded by a mason. It went on and on about how the governing body is the only truth and all other doctrines are false, and only they can lead you to the light, and the truth etc.....
Yes they have had many fall backs in the past to how they got dates wrong for world events, the shunning, this "two" witness rule for s3xual harassment/assult, and when confronted by police about any of these claims, why do they then burn the written evidence?
Do they harbour these people, do they protect them?🤔
Jesus is NOT Micheal the arch angel!
Jesus is the Messiah, none can be like Him or even Close!
The NWT also removed the very small but important passage about Jesus being the Messiah, they started it out and left a dodgy footnote at the bottom of their page. (Should have taken a picture, as i do not have that literature in my possession any longer)
This beard thing was new to me 🤡
Its truley amazing how they have a nack for targeting the spiritually weak and vulnerable.
Folks, read the Bible (NKJ) would be the best more clear text, coupled with the Amplified Version, and do your own studies. Compare these with the NWT (New World Translation) that the JWs dish out and ask for discernment from The Holy Spirit.
Remember: dont get trapped 😎📚
Knowledge is Power
To address your question to us, it is my understanding that they are not offering your best life now, but rather your best life to come in the next life. Maybe I have that wrong though. They always approach me and, because I am blind, ask if I want to see again and tell me that will come in the next kingdom.
You are right.
You are right.
They pull a "Bait-N-Switch."
The come promising "paradise," and delivering "Armageddon."
😮
Next life on their JW terms and conditions. Jesus died for us all, no exclusions. The 12 apostles preached to the everyone, and since then it has been preached to the ends of the world. We do not know the day nor the hour, only the father knows, and thus must live each day as it were our last, as we do not know when the Lord will call us.
Imperfections happen while this world is still under Satan's control.
The Bible promises that these imperfections would be taken away under Jesus' rule of this earth.
Isaiah 33:24 And no resident will say: “I am sick.”
The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error.
That is one of the driving forces which help JWs talk to people despite they being persecuted and apathy shown. Compare Matthew 24:9.

"The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood,

I like how they don't observe the holidays. I don't either. Cultural baggage.
I was a witness for about 15 years. I left about 25 years ago, but still have family in it. The religion is very controlling and I'm glad I'm out. I don't believe in God or religion now, and I'm much happier for it. I believe the bible is a work of fiction. If it's not then from the things I've read in it, it makes God an extremely cruel creator who does not deserve to be worshipped.
I thank God that Jesus has proved himself reliable to answer all the big questions of life: origins, destination, morality, and meaning.
Attempts to undermine the veracity of the Bible have failed for millennia. The Bible has been proven reliable historically and archaeologically, and fulfilled prophecy proves its Divine origin. The historic resurrection proves that Jesus is in fact, God. He fulfilled numerous specific prophecies, claimed to be God in the flesh, and then backed it up by rising from the dead.
When anyone claims that we can’t know the answers, or something is not possible, they don’t realise that the answers have already been revealed.
All of this truth is well-established, and even a cursory look on the Internet will reveal the evidence for this. The problem is that they don’t want to believe. They set up an arbitrary, subjective standard of evidence, (which means nothing), so in their minds they feel justified in not believing. But all the evidence is there 😃

I feel sorry for the JW community, primarily for the false hope that they seem to perpetuate. I do admire their passion, but coupled with misinformation, the best analogy I can think of is trying to win at Mt Panorama when you're only equipped with roller skates.
What “misinformation”? People who say things like this haven’t read the Bible themselves. They just repeat what everyone else is saying.
Heb 1:5 - For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

They haven't got a Saviour. They haven't got redemption from sins. They can't point to a debt paid. They don't know about a finished work.
What else is there but a feel-good seeker friendly message?
Yes they are a cult and Im no JW BUT.. where in the bible does Jesus say he is ACTUALLY God almighty and where in the bible does the word "Trinity" appear? Why does God need to be 3. Is anything else in creation 3 in one? Help me make sense of this. Anybody.

Throughout the KJV bible, the word God is there over 4000 times, and I would like to see lionoffireraw give one example, where “God” applies to the three persons of the trinity simultaneously.
Very true, Matt. Also, given the themes of most of their materials, they seem overly obsessed with the end times.
Obviously JWs will be involved with the end times. That is why their God has raised them as a united group in these last days (Micah 4:1-5).
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
JWs don't go around converting anyone. Their God assigned work is a Witness work before the END COMES.
My hope is found on nothing less than Jesus and his righteousness
They have definitely become seeker friendly. I was out passing out the good person tracks, and stopped to talk with some JWs who were cart witnessing. After explaining to the woman the gospel, and how we aren't good enough to attain our salvation,but must put our trust in the savior. She proceeded to tell me that I had a very negative message and it was because of beliefs like mine that the world was so messed up. She said we need to try and lift people up and tell them how good they can be. 🤔

The message preached to unbelievers needs to encompass both! They need to know they are sinners in need of repentance but also what the reward is. There is a balance between "seeker friendly" and 'Turn or burn', neither of which is the whole picture.
Great job. I was raised in this high mind control group. Thank you so much for this video. God bless you. 🙋🙏
Can I ask you a question please? What was the gospel (good news) *_that Jesus_* preached about when he walked the earth?
Read the passage about the rich young ruler.
He preached that:
- man has transgressed the law,
- only God is good
- we must eat of his body and drink of his blood (i.e. accept his sacrifice on the cross). John 6.
- no one comes to the Father except through Him. John 14:6.
- he affirmed John the Baptist's teaching of "repent and believe"
@Lion of Fire Raw I really appreciate your videos and the way you present your stance on these false religions. Seventh-Day Adventist are similar to the Jehovah's Witnesses because they both base their false doctrine on their dead founder of the organization.
Telling people they’re sinners and need Jesus doesn’t draw them in. Getting people to think about their future is just a start, to open the door for further discussion.
That type of message is why Christianity is in the mess it’s in today.
@@lionoffireraw Actually, Christianity is in the mess it's in today in part because:
1. The "Church" teaches false doctrine, so they don't have God's holy spirit.
2. Most "Christian" religions don't make people adhere to God's moral standards.
3. Jesus said his people would be no part of the world, (John 17:16; John 15:19; John 18:26) but almost all supposed "Christian" religions are involved in wars, politics, etc. which is Satan's world, not Gods. (1 John 5:19)
4. Supposed Christians are not united in love, but are divided by many issues, such as race, economics, nationality, etc. For example, there are different Baptist churches, some considered "black" churches and others "white" churches. Two countries on opposing sides of a war have people of the same "Christian" religions killing each other, like in WWI and WWII, in Ukraine and Russia, In Bosnia and Serbia, etc.
1. Jehovah's Witnesses examine the Bible and teach what the Bible says, not what Church tradition says, which was influenced by Pagan religions and philosophy, changing doctrines along the way.
2. Jehovah's Witnesses do our best to keep the congregation clean by applying Bible principles and removing unrepentant people so they aren't a bad influence on others.
3. JW's remain neutral in all government affairs, not voting, not joining the military, not killing our brothers due to conflicts between countries, etc.
4. On the contrary, Jehovah's Witnesses are united in love worldwide. (John 13:35) Many come from backgrounds where they may have to fight against engrained feelings about others due to prejudice, but they overcome it and show genuine love to one another. This is evident at our international conventions, when we travel to other places, or have visitors from other places. From the inner cities to the countryside, from Asia, to Africa and the Americas, we are all one, just as Jesus and his Father are one. (John 17:20-23)
"Jesus could not have made it anymore clear then his words at Jhn 17:3 "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
Amen

"Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
Yes; and most Christians think Jesus IS God, and he sent himself.
You were basically asking the JW's to make a judgement on the situation you presented. Jehovah is the judge of all mankind. Only He and Jesus can read a person’s heart. Therefore, your question is really not one to be answered by any man. Jesus read the heart of the criminal on the stake beside him and gave him a guarantee. We as humans cannot do that.
The question included the condition that the person had genuinely repented and believed. So yes, a person can answer the question theologically.
If they say God is the answer just ask what's the question? I had a Jehovah witnesses in my class she wore sack cloth and ashes that resembled salvation army drop box plunder she wouldn't salute the flag and didn't participate in any holiday celebrations. I'm sure she was miserable but she never talked to anyone. So............ Nobody talked to her. Not for me thanks I'll take happy any day over her life! 😁
Jesus knew all of us were sinful. That's why we need his sacrifice to redeem us. It's basic Christian doctrine 101.
Nothing about the good news, like the apostles preached
What stood out for me was the Jw leaflet is referring to the Kingdom of God that will one day rule the earth forever. Jesus spoke about this good news of the Kingdom.
They only believe 144,000 people go to heaven. How crazy!!
That is what the Bible teaches. A few chosen ones are transformed into immortal spirit beings to be able to go to heaven and rule with Jesus. The earth's inhabitants will be the recipient of the blessing of this rule. Revelation 21:3,4.
(Psalm 37:29) The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.

The Apostles Creed or The Nicene Creed is the proper way to tell someone about Christianity.
Don’t complicate the truth.
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that humans will eventually regain the innocence and perfection lost in the Garden of Eden.
- No, they won't. We will always have the knowledge of Good and Evil, we will never return to a state of complete innocence, not knowing right from wrong. Jesus death is not buying back what innocence Adam lost, that's not the purpose of his death.
They hold that through Jesus Christ’s ransom sacrifice, obedient humans will be restored to perfection and live forever on a paradise earth. This belief is rooted in their interpretation of biblical prophecies and teachings, particularly those found in the books of Genesis and Revelation.
- Revelation is a prophetic and symbolic book, and Genesis the book of beginnings. They will pull scriptures out of each and from its contextual meaning adding them together as proof. Similar to taking words from your various conversations, adding them up to accuse you of a crime, when no crime existed.
Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that God’s original purpose for the earth and humanity will be fulfilled, meaning that the earth will be transformed into a paradise similar to the Garden of Eden, and faithful humans will enjoy eternal life in perfect health and harmony.
Two part objection:
- 1. There is no biblical texts that describe the condition of the earth similar to the Garden of Eden, but that the Earth will be new and and the city of the New Jerusalem will be huge. The new Earth could be laid full of concrete and highways for all we know.
- 2. According to them, a separate batch of faithful followers totalling 144,000 are believed to have a heaven ONLY existence, meaning they will live and rule with Christ in Heaven, not the Earth. They miss that Revelation states that God will live with man and rule from the New Jerusalem on the new Earth.
- Living in Heaven is a higher privilege distinct from the majority of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who are stuck on earth and expect to live forever on a restored paradise earth with no ruling anything.
Lest I forget, only the Jehovah's Witnesses get to live and rule from Heaven, the 144,000 previously mentioned.
Jesus came to destroy death and to enable us to know God and partake of His nature. We can then live in harmony with Logos knowing the Father.

I would include is the person interested 99% people are not interested in hearing about it they know the gospel they reject it what more can we do.
JW's do believe in many heretical doctrines, including a different Jesus. Yes I agree with that, but the disagreements between religions is not secondary but fatal. Remember Jesus said "MANY' will say to me on that day- Lord Lord did we not do this or that in your name..... many will be workers of lawlessness not just a few. Lawless people may consider themselves very religious and spiritual, but they have defined God as they wish Him to be, not as He is. Lawless people will not let go of false doctrine, perpetrated by deluded men., which is lawlessness against God. The religious leaders in Jesus day were lawless as Jesus said: "So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness." "For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of Gehenna as yourselves." Paul warned us : "That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness" All churches today believe and teach lies over truth, including the JW's but there remain individual Christians around the world who do not. The Bible tells us, these are the wheat among weeds growing together till the harvest. Before we target another as false because we believe we are good with God and they are not (as the pharisees did this), we had better make sure we too, are not part of the "MANY" that Jesus spoke about. There is a high chance we are in that group if we follow any of the "many" organised religions.
Jehovas Witness is another human made concept 💡
Agreed that the seeker friendly message is just to get their foot in the door. Any 'thinking person' can see the dark side of this world, so they are presenting the future hope first, to show what is possible when we have Jesus (even though their Jesus cannot save for He is merely a created being according to them) In follow-up visits they will show you that you are a sinner, however they want you to be 'righteous' BEFORE they baptise you. I'm amazed that they have any baptised members, for none are righteous but Christ, and it is His blood (life) that cleanses (covers) us once we are baptised into His death and are raised in newness of life, and no longer walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit of God.
That said, I don't totally agree with Ray Comfort's approach either, for he paints God as a punishing God. "God is paying you in death for your sin" Whereas eternal death from the lake of fire is merely the consequence of choosing to sin "For if you eat thereof, you shall surely die"
You took way too long to get to the point of your vid title..
That was intended. People are more likely to listen to all the points if I leave the main point towards the end of the video.
The flyer is viewing it from a materialistic angle, seeking to attract people with what a person can get out of it, or what it can do for them. Like for instance the book: "you can live forever in Paradise on earth" At the same time though they recognise the need for the sacrifice that Christ made for our sinfulness and it is only through his shed blood that we are forgiven and have eternal life. But I recognise that all Christian religions teach some truth even amid much false man made teachings taught in churches, the Jw's are no different. The reality? we are all in the same boat.
We are not all in the same boat. There are many denominations that might disagree on secondary issues, but are still Christians.
The JW’s believe in many heretical doctrines, including a different Jesus. They are in a very different boat.
@@lionoffireraw JW's do believe in many heretical doctrines, including a different Jesus. Yes I agree with that, but the disagreements between religions is not secondary but fatal. Remember Jesus said "MANY' will say to me on that day- Lord Lord did we not do this or that in your name..... many will be workers of lawlessness not just a few. Lawless people may consider themselves very religious and spiritual, but they have defined God as they wish Him to be, not as He is. Lawless people will not let go of false doctrine, perpetrated by deluded men., which is lawlessness against God. The religious leaders in Jesus day were lawless as Jesus said: "So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness." "For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of Gehenna as yourselves." Paul warned us : "That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness" All churches today believe and teach lies over truth, including the JW's but there remain individual Christians around the world who do not. The Bible tells us, these are the wheat among weeds growing together till the harvest.
So many spiritual people who never think spiritually .....if they did they would examine things dailey to see if they are true as the Bereans did .......But ,NO .......they are unstructed not to ....fact 😢
Are we a good person?.... My answer, most assuredly not, my take on the the new testament is it is all about forgiveness and love, love thy neighbour seems to be the most prominent, of course that doesn't mean love as in lust, but if your neighbour does something not good or unhealthy for them you simply point it out to them in a kind manner and they can take or leave the advice as they please
The Trinity is not Biblical. No, I am not a JW.
The Bible clearly demonstrates that the Father is God, that Jesus is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God. It also demonstrates that they are separate Persons. It also demonstrates there is ONE God (one Being).
The Trinity is an inescapable fact of the Bible.

What do u think the world will be like, better, worse? My response" care not for the things of this world".
Love it!
The Jehovah's witness message gives the sinner everything the sinner wants naturally which requires no repentance and no trusting in Christ . The thing that makes it so dangerous is that it cloaks itself in a mask of apparent respectability , but the message is empty
Bingo........!! It reminds me of the serpent talking to Eve saying "is that what God really said"?! They do the same......then they tell them what THEY say "God really said". If you are biblically ignorant they can get you. Great comment! God bless!
How does that make sense? JWs are the only ones who have accepted the value of Jesus' sacrifice. That is why they are Jesus' DISCIPLES.
Others have made Jesus into God and thereby lost the prospect of being a Disciple. No one can logically be a Disciple of God. Think about it.
@@tongakhan230 What does his sacrifice mean if he is not the Son of God? His sacrifice was to take away sins . Sin is what separates us from him because he is holy . Acts 4:12 says , "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” It's here in black and white . Jesus said of himself , "That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” It is that serious . You can be correct about everything else in religion , but if you don't trust in Christ and repent , you'll perish . God said it , not me .
@@jchristopherman1970 : Jesus being a son of God is not in doubt. Adam too was a son of God. Jesus is called the last Adam at 1 Corinthians 15:45 which puts Jesus on an equal footing with Adam.
Almighty God coming in the form of a man, riding a donkey before his creation killed him, is what is questionable. And blasphemous.
JWs are the only Christians around in these last days. John 13:35.
They're bunk.
And 🍒 cherry -pick
What they want
Out of the Holy Scriptures 😮.
Very good program, my friend 👍!
Please keep it up 🙏!
Christianity, as a whole, is simply a smorgasbord religion where they cherry-pick whatever they choose:
Only nine of the Ten Commandments apply,
Homosexuality is a sin, but eating pork or blood is fine,
Tithing is expected, but you can get a tattoo if you like,
You can build opulent church buildings, but following the Biblical example of home groups is largely ignored,
Call the Almighty by a pagan title like "Lord" or "God," but anyone who wants to call Him by His Name (which occurs almost 7000 times in the Bible) is a weirdo,
Anyone who desires to practice good works or repent is practicing "works salvation"
Make sure you honor the pagan Christ-Mass and Easter (Eostre) but definitely don't celebrate the Biblical Feasts, etc...
Christianity is a LAWLESS religion and Yahshua warned:
"I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!" (Matt 7:23)
No one talks about God the father only Jesus i find is a bit odd AFTER All he created reality
Matt… I wonder what you think of Seventh Day Adventists?
Also, what religion are you? If you don’t mind me asking, what your denomination is…
I recently lost my Mother, and faith along with it and I’m questioning a lot of things right now. No judgement to anyone or anything- but I believe SDA’s to be very “cult-ish” as well… (my late Mother was a SDA). Please let us all be kind to one another… I’m speaking very vulnerably. God Bless you. ♥️
SDA is a cult. They consider the writings of false prophet, Ellen G. White, to be authoritative. They believe many other faults doctrines as well . I’m not saying that no one in SDA can be saved, but that the group is a cult. Fortunately, they don’t believe some of the heresies is that JW’s (and some other cults) believe).
I attend a Baptist Church, but I don’t consider myself to be a particular denomination. I’m not a Calvinist.
@@lionoffireraw agreed. My poor Mother had a very difficult life, and struggled a lot with her mental health. She was looking for God, hope, community- pure and whole heartedly. She never forced her religion on me, and she was more staunch about their beliefs when she first joined 30 years ago or so- and luckily eased up a lot in her later life (she passed suddenly, she was only 62). I am her only child and we struggled a lot with conversations of how I believed, and still do believe that they preyed on her vulnerable state of mind. It was terrible to watch and experience. I’m grateful that she started realizing things more as years went on, and grateful that she felt a sense of “community” at the time, albeit false I believe. It was pure manipulation, and fear tactics. She was ostracized by the church for thinking differently than they did and not following their doctrines (Ellen G. White’s doctrines)- going solely based on the teachings of the Bible, and that led to her semi-falling out with the church. I never did understand E.G. White’s hold on everyone. I hold a lot of hurt towards the SDA church for taking, who the “elders” knew was a vulnerable woman, in a bad place in life and blame a lot of her mental health decline on her years in the church.
I also acknowledge her role in it, as well as her state of mind- and admire the bit she on her own to understand more, and to stand up for the Word of God.
Thank you for your kind response- and God Bless you.
The only one you mentioned using the scriptures wa the JW tract. That’s ironic, don’t you think?
There were verses on the other one.
@@lionoffireraw What scriptural evidence can you provide to support your claim that the tract from JW's contradicts the Bible or has a bad message? Since the message is consistent with what the Bible says, then why are you complaining about it? What is your point?
THE JEWISH PEOPLE BELIVE IN ONE GOD NOT TRINITY THE MUSLIMS BELIVE IN ONE GOD NO TRINITY. HONESTLY JESUS NEVER CLAIMED TO BE PART OF A TRINITY!
They are a false prophet ,
preaching a false gospel ,
from a false bible.
Facts
In support of Jehovah's Witnesses...who clearly don't really need it...they are training their thoughts in a prayerful and emotional way that triggers a response in our spiritual engine. The part of us that talks directly to our genetic health. It is perhaps hard for unrighteous people to realise that God's living Waters is invisibly all around us all of the time and is accessible by meekness and righteous prayer but as the great tribulations worsen, many of these will seek righteousness, seek Almighty God, Jehovah, Jesus Christ, and Jehovah's Witnesses, so treat them kindly, or, rather, treat them, righteously.
Sadly, they have many heretical beliefs. People can be sincere, but sincerely wrong. I hope they come to a knowledge of the true Jesus of the Bible.
@@lionoffirerawTime will tell. Our Deity, being Almighty God, Jehovah, Jesus Christ, and our own righteously engineered spirit, is full of quantum science and we need to follow their dictates asap. The alternative is grim. There is only one path, by which, loving our neighbours is paramount.
@@trevorbates8972 with enough study and evaluation no one with any sense of discernment would recognize the WatchTower as having any personal care for the members nor do they desire seeking truth, just what works to maintain the workers they require to obey with consequences by their henchmen they call elders.

I'm not a JW, however I still believe the Trinity is an unbiblical teaching, not fully appearing until the 4th century. The Bible never expressly teaches, describes, or defines it. And Jesus and the apostles never taught it, which ought to be a huge red flag, if this teaching is as necessary for salvation as people insist.
We believe in one God, and the New Testament authors show that this one God is the Father. We only need to read the introductions of the New Testament letters to see that the Father and Jesus are always differentiated. God being referred to as the Father, and then Jesus as a separate being. Additionally we have Jesus referring to the Father as his God, and the apostles also doing so. For example, John 20:17; Revelation 3:12; 2 Corinthians 11:31; Ephesians 1:3, & 1:17; and 1 Peter 1:3.

@@lionoffireraw I might have a look at that video, although I'm aware of the usual proof texts used to try and prove the Trinity teaching. Each one can be understood from a Biblical Unitarian perspective, and usually makes more sense when taking into account the context of the passage. For example, John 10:30 viewed in its immediate context is easily seen to refer to oneness of purpose, rather than oneness of essence or being.
The Bible clearly identifies the Father as the one true God, but no so for Jesus or the Holy Spirit. In a few places Jesus is called God, but clearly from the context, not God in the highest sense as the Father is. Many of the passages also have variations in translation, so it's hard to rely on them as proper proof texts, for example Hebrews 1:8.
With the Holy Spirit, there is no passage where it's called God specifically. Yes, it's often referred to as a personality, but it can also be shown to be God's power and speech, and that explains why it sometimes appears to be a separate person. For example, when God speaks it's sometimes described as the spirit speaking. No contradiction, but it's just because spirit is breath, and God's breath is his speech, and it's holy.
I both agree and disagreee. The JW seeker friendly tract would be consistent with many "churches" that preach a seeker friendly message as well. I do not disagree with what you said their tract says, but at least (as you read it) it neglects to point out that the death of Yeshua was the acceptable substitute for my sin, that I need to repent knowing that and live consistent with God's instructions.
That’s the exact problem with many churches today!
The million dollar tract just promotes a cheep easy false salvation for people who dont want to go to hell, but don't want to serve God either.
If they want to serve God with respect to salvation, they very well may with sanctification too.
That’s insane! It’s the opposite!!

The "regular" protestant Christian gospel is way too "simple" and "mysterious" to JWs. They honestly believe everything they teach makes perfect sense and that "born agains" or people that talk a lot about salvation or being saved are nuts because they don't get that god must have an organization and the jw teachings and brotherhood and business model makes perfect sense that they have the truth. They really think that every other church is about promoting the ideas of men and not god.

hey brother i was brought up in the JW cult and guess what GOD himself told me it wasnt right for me to stay in that organisation. so i only stayed in there a short time as soon as i turned 18 i left there . they are still made in the image of GOD and satan has blinded there eyes to the truth. when you talk to them again ask them about the scripture where it says JESUS said i am the way the truth the life no one comes to the father or in there case JEHOVAH except through me which is JESUS. and also tell them if they have any historical evidence to show you that JESUS is the angel micheal?
Jesus say they must go door to door and preaching when other religion got church .I hope when the day comes you sorry for what you say
The main problem with JW is that their theology contradicts Acts 4,12 - they focus on a so called true slave that consists of ten men in the USA. If you don’t accept them you won’t be saved. This infringes a lot of principles of our Christian faith and above all 1 John 5,22. - I think Christ is the highest God after the Almighty but he is not the Almighty. I would be really careful to be too dogmatic on the trinity as there where several doctrines from the first to the third century. We agree : Jesus is our strong God and our Savior and certainly not an angel. But he is not YHWH the Almighty God.

"It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! (Mt. 10:25)"
The trinitarian belief... That god is three persons is also false... Father, son and holy ghost are all tittles our one god holds. Not three separate persons. God is one..!!! Not three... Jesus over and over proclaimed he was and is god from the beginning... If you have seen me you have seen the father.. god was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory...
