  Michael Jackson's Death Is Exposing Jehovah's Witnesses In A HUGE Way!!!

  if you read comments made regarding mj's death, there are tons of people talking about his religion.

  the fact that he was a jw that disassociated himself, is giving bloggers all sorts of ammunition regarding the rotten witness religion.

  jws are trying to defend themselves and their religion and outsiders are clearly seeing how effed up jws really are.. good..

  I was watching the news and in all most comments always point out his religious background as
  
  a JW'S. This surely will wake up some interest one to investigate the JW'S beliefs.

  just to confrim, do jw's believe that jesus is divine?.

  not that jesus is god, which they obviously don't believe, but that jesus is divine, with the divien qualities of his father?.

  also, do jw's beleive or agree that, in the new covenant, jesus has the primary role that was god's in the old covenant?.

  Jesus'own words clear the issue my friend. It is clear. This is not the only ocassion that
  Jesus pointed out to whom people must worship.

  You are probably familiar with the gospel accounts of Jesus’ being "tempted by the Devil." (Matt. 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13)
  
  How did Jesus respond to this trialsome experience?
  
  Notice in this Jesus response:

  Then Jesus said to him: ‘Go away, Satan!
  For it is written, "It is Jehovah your God you must worship,
  and it is to him alone you must render sacred service."’
  [Deut. 6:13]."—Matt. 4:4, 7, 10.

  Atalaya: "Also that only Jehovah is called the Almighty and Jesus a mighty God."

  Then that makes two gods, a greater one and a lesser one.

  You cannot serve two masters.
  
  
  Thanks for your comments.

  As to Christ’s being called "Mighty God," if puny human judges can be called "gods" in the Scriptures (Psalm 82:1-7), is it not appropriate that God’s Son should be called "Mighty God" (Hebrew, ‘ElGib·bohr´)?
  Notice, however, that he is not called "God Almighty" (Hebrew, ‘ElShad·dai´),
  a term used exclusively for Jehovah. And concerning worship Jesus stated:

  "The hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth." (John 4:23, 24)
  
  So Jesus despite having all the power and authority given by his father,Jesus clearly showed that worship must be to his father not

  him.

  .. *** w98 3/15 p. 22 par.

  15if a witness makes decisions on the basis of bible counsel offered by the governing body, he does so of his own volition because his own study of the bible has convinced him that this is the proper course.

  w98 3/15 p. 22 par. 15 Living Up to Christian Dedication in Freedom ***
  15 If a Witness makes decisions on the basis of Bible counsel offered by the Governing Body, he does so of his own volition because his own study of the Bible has convinced him that this is the proper course. Each Witness is influenced by God's own Word to apply sound Scriptural counsel offered by the Governing Body, in full recognition that decisions he makes will affect his personal relationship with God, to whom he is dedicated.-1 Thessalonians 2:13.
  
  I think it is an excellent advice with biblical support.
  Many accused JW's for following men instead of God's word.
  Now this quote shows that every person after acquring knowledge is mature enough to make
  his own decision base on what he or she believe.

  Yes.The Bible teaches them to respect marriage.
  Their children are trained in right principles.
  The importance of the family is stressed.
  The more individuals and families that Jehovah's Witnesses influence to
  live by Christian principles, the less delinquency, immorality, and crime.
  
  Jehovah's Witnesses try to recommend the good news to others in this way also:
  by being exemplary in the Christian conduct that they recommend to others.
  
  They try to 'do unto others as they would have others do unto them.' (Matthew 7:12 )

  They try to be this way with all men, not just with fellow Witnesses, friends, neighbors, or relatives. Being imperfect, they do not always succeed 100 percent.
  But it is the desire of their hearts to do good unto all people not only in telling
  them the good news of the Kingdom but also
  in extending a helping hand whenever possible.— James 2:14-17 .

  Hello. It is clear. Jesus himself taught that he was the unique Son of God (John 10:36; Matt. 16:15-17),
