JWs are one of the most judgemental religions there is, they shut the Kingdom of God up to everyone who does not measure up to their personal standards. If you have not been to Meetings in Years, they are losing their ability to use the Bible and speak at the Door in Field Service. They have become obsolete, now they are walking Spam messangers for JW.ORG!

Jehovah's Witnesses "shut up the kingdom of heaven" Matt 23:13
by stuckinarut2 ini'm sure this has been thought of before, but while i was gardening today (great time to let the mind think deeply) , i thought of this:.
the org (gb) teaches that only a few go to heaven, therefore everyone else is prevented from entering.. so, are they the scribes and pharisees that jesus spoke of at matt 23:13?.
"woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!, because you shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for you yourselves do not go in, neither do you permit others to enter!".

Hi Ruby, I think the Greatness of the United Kingdom is going to be challenged by people who refuse to assimiliate in to the greatest melting pot in the World. I saw people in the Western Countries applaud the death of the journalist, all of them were Muslims living in Western Countries.
It's time we stop tolerating religions that teach hatred and kill, it's time to rid the world of men like ISIS and ISIL. When you have men getting paid Public Welfare to plot schemes to destroy the West I think it's time to re-evaluate how countries let people in. This religion has always left a path of destruction, the great claims of enlightenment were only accomplished when the strong military kept the religious nuts in check. I fear for the UK, they have no loyalty, willing to jump ship if a better offer comes their way.

He's not angry superstitious mobs destroyed several make-shift medical facilities to treat victims of Ebola, no, Dr. Bradly implored the World to "Help Save West Africa". What makes humans risk their life to save a people that could turn on you and slaughter your family in a heart beat? I saw God in his eyes, the good and love Dr. Bradly demonstrated is something we as Jehovah's Witnesses never caught sight of.
How many JWs do you know left to serve the lame, poor and sick with real help, not peddling magazines and doctrines that will expire in five years. We get mad because we were throughly duped, we got tricked by hucksters and crooks who took our family, money and time. Often we fail to recognize that there is more than one option if "The Watchtower does not have the Truth, God does not exist!". We never had the truth in the first place, its our own fault, we got taken away with their pseudo scholarly works (we thought books like "Babylon the Great", "Evolution", "Revelation" were ahead of Christendom but we were totally wrong!). We have more choices than "Watchtower False equals No God".
Two medical professionals of the highest moral character risking their lives to save superstitous people, very ignorant and scared and prone to kill what they don't understand. Rumors are spread Ebola is spread by Witchcraft, Curses, the Untited States, ect... Dr. Bradly's interview was beautiful, you could see the grace and love inside him, what make's people like him dedicate themselves to serve the very unfortunate? Love!
A.N. Wilsons return to Christ after decades of a vocal atheist. From Christian to Atheist to Christian, why, interesting notes from part of the article, he touches on parts humanity wicked agencies like ISIS and ISIL would love to kill but can't, human goodness even when it seems everywhere is darkness.
"
“… But religion, once the glow of conversion had worn off, was not a matter of argument alone. It involves the whole person. Therefore I was drawn, over and over again, to the disconcerting recognition that so very many of the people I had most admired and loved, either in life or in books, had been believers. Reading Louis Fischer's Life of Mahatma Gandhi, and following it up with Gandhi's own autobiography, The Story of My Experiments With Truth, I found it impossible not to realise that all life, all being, derives from God, as Gandhi gave his life to demonstrate. Of course, there are arguments that might make you doubt the love of God. But a life like Gandhi's, which was focused on God so deeply, reminded me of all the human qualities that have to be denied if you embrace the bleak, muddled creed of a materialist atheist. It is a bit like trying to assert that music is an aberration, and that although Bach and Beethoven are very impressive, one is better off without a musical sense. Attractive and amusing as David Hume was, did he confront the complexities of human existence as deeply as his contemporary Samuel Johnson, and did I really find him as interesting?”
“…I haven't mentioned morality, but one thing that finally put the tin hat on any aspirations to be an unbeliever was writing a book about the Wagner family and Nazi Germany, and realising how utterly incoherent were Hitler's neo-Darwinian ravings, and how potent was the opposition, much of it from Christians; paid for, not with clear intellectual victory, but in blood. Read Pastor Bonhoeffer's book Ethics, and ask yourself what sort of mad world is created by those who think that ethics are a purely human construct. Think of Bonhoeffer's serenity before he was hanged, even though he was in love and had everything to look forward to….”

Christian History Home > News > 2005 > Victorian Skeptics on the Road to Damascus Victorian Skeptics on the Road to DamascusFormer atheist Antony Flew's admission of the existence of God shocked believers and skeptics alike, but such a turnaround is far from unique. In the 19th century, many leading intellectuals who had once lost their faith ended up reconverting. -

November 2014 WT - Points out the fact that Knorr supported false teachings.
by objectivetruth in- it's amazing to track the confusion and stupidity contained in wt articles.
- in only one watchtower you can find multiple contradictory statements, and representations of truth that are simply lies made up on the fly.
- as an example the nov,15 2014 wt has the following quotes : -.

When was the last time you went to a meeting? The Elders are becoming mentally challenged, they do not know the Bible or the Watchtower's literature because they are not taking time to study. I had another brother tell me, "Why should we waste our time reading books like Revelation because you know their going to change everything except core doctrines and even those are subject to review!'

ISIS in return started to march towards Allepo killing men, women and children that refused to convert to their animalistic cult. Syria has lost several thousand troops as ISIS try's to kill off their benefactors, Syria's leader learned the hard way, ISIS has no loyalty to anyone.
Iran warned the United States and European Countries that the US was funding terrorists, now IRAN has joined the fight against ISIS. Earlir this year there were a estimated 100,000+ Iranian Republican Guard Troops providing help against ISIS inside the Kurdish areas of Iraq.
Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Russia, UK, Syria are now wanting to destroy ISiS, why? Do you think they will unite the world to elimante a threat if not destroyed could turn the Middle East back backwards of five hundred years?

What are the American Muslims doing to respond to ISIS, when all Hell was busting lose they did nothing! Iran earlier this year sent troops to help the Kurds and now is adding more forces as we speak. The United States has been having secret meetings with Iran and Syria's leader to destroy ISIS! Interesting how the groups that backed ISIS would be the next targets on ISIS and ISILs list, they stabbed Syria's President in the back by killing 200 troops of their friends!
Iran had previously sent 100,000 members of the Elite Guard inside Kurdish controled regions, US and UK Muslims are sitting on their asses while ten different variations of Muslims are getting slaughtered. Now Syria has figured out they can regain some ground by killing off the group that betrayed them and look good to the West. Senator Paul Ryan warned the US they would be putting weapons in the hands of a group worse than Al caida, now we are watching history as Iran joins the fight to exterminate ISIS. The Islamic World is unifying to destroy the abomination of Islam!
What has the Watchtower done? They are the first to cry out to the United Nations and OSCE when they feel persecuted, at leat the Westborro Bow wows are doing something.

I had an encounter today...
by lriddle80 inso, i had an unexpected encounter with a jw today.
she was the caregiver who came to work to relieve me and she pulled out a jw.org tract and i told her i knew all about it because my family were part of it and i see it everywhere on their fb.
i, without thinking about the consequences, told her that i used to be one and now go to a baptist church.

Perry, have you ever posted your story how you became a Christian after leaving the publishing company that try's to hide the glorious name of Jesus Christ?
Iriddle, in the eyes of die-hard Jehovah's Witness, there is no acceptable way to worship God if your not using the Governing Body as your Intercessor. As shown by many of the Ex-Watchtower Thinkers(they have posted the Watchtower writers equating unconditional obedience to the magazine as worship of God!) they are now elevating the Watchtower's words with God-the-Father in a most sneaky and sinister fashion. You did great with all your apologetics, great job my friend! I use to argue, debate and read all the WTs works from 1960 Bound Volumes to 2004 when something stopped sounding right. My first trip was reading Greg Stafford departure from the Organization, I was shocked a man who I loved as a brother and friend, along with other of his JW friends lost our WMD! Lies abound that Greg tried to start his own church, that's far from the truth, Greg is like you, his head started to spin because he could not believe he tried to defend a religion that's not defendable, doctrines they produce are conjecture!
I appreciated you calmness, you well know JWs get angry when you put them on the spot, when I first started using the name of Jesus Christ my sister accused me of apostasy! My mother who has never shared any Bible thoughts with my kids was quick to hear my children use the name of Jesus Christ and she started to panic. What is so deadly about the name of Jesus Christ that it scares JWs? The Bible is the "two edged sword", if God does not want us to use Jesus Christ's name, than why did he honor his Son with the highest reward posible?
"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name" Phil 2:9
Matthew 28:18
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.John 17:11
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.
John 17:12
While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
Acts 2:33
Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
Ephesians 1:10
to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment--to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
Ephesians 1:21
far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
2 Thessalonians 1:12
We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 1:9
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy." -

The Watchtower removed him not for pedophila, it was something really stupid and deflected to protect them.

Alot of the friends are very smug & could care less if you are there. It drives me nuts that they think they are so important in there little CLICK.
I just wanna scream "YOU ARE DOING NOTHING OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE, GET A LIFE PEOPLE!
Just a little rant. Thanx" Author of thread
"They are worried that someone they might be friends with will get themselved disfellowshipped. So therefore, why bother making new friends?" Good Post
I thought that was used for people trying to get reinstated, how many elders use to say "Why is he trying to get reinstated, he's just going to get kicked out once he's back in!"
Don't we have a rich heritage of Pharisees and back-bitters pumping us full of BS? The Watchtower and it's followers have nothing to do with Jesus Christ, I wish the members who are agnostic and atheists would at least admit what Gandi said "I love your Jesus, it's your Christians I hate". Same thing with the Watchtower, they don't practice the love they preach, too many hypocrites pretending to be part of a New World Order.
My mother told me the same thing happened to her when her mother told her about a great religion called the Bible Students. The first three months nobody talked to her, she stopped attending in 1954 until some assholes showed up to the house and invited her to another Kingdom Hall. She was a little less shunned with the new Kingdom Hall, how come she did not go with her gut feelings and leave this Cult. When we moved, the same thing happend (fourth Kingdom Hall 1974), the Witnesses were not friendly this time it only took them two months to introduce themselves to her, I can't imagine going to a Meeting for two months and listening to them preach about "Love and Brotherhood" while they ignore people who walk in to listen to their message.
Nothing has changed, this is one of the biggest complaints about not only JWs but other Churches, people are not as friendly as the Watchtower make's them out to be. The lies told, they must have known their meetings were filled with members who had no love for each other, I wish my Mom had gotten the message early on that this group is not filled with good people as claimed by the Watchtower.
