thinking back when i was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why i believed jws are the true religion.
1. they show love among themselves by not going to war.
not killing your fellow believers in any circumstances, including war, would seem to be a very basic requirement for true christianity.

You can listen to Deborah Hines' testimony if you want, or you can reach out to her.

The Bible is clear that a person who is sexually assaulted doesn't need "two witnesses." I believe her.
"If, however, the man happened to meet the engaged girl in the field and the man overpowered her and lay down with her, the man who lay down with her is to die by himself, and you must do nothing to the girl. The girl has not committed a sin deserving of death. This case is the same as when a man attacks his fellow man and murders him. For he happened to meet her in the field, and the engaged girl screamed, but there was no one to rescue her." (Deuteronomy 22:25-27)
There were not two witnesses, and yet the Mosaic Law said to kill the man who was guilty.
"You must take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is deserving to die, for he should be put to death without fail." (Numbers 35:31)
Watchtower has been accruing a lot of bloodguilt. "Do the math."
Jehovah doesn't make mistakes in His math. Jesus has been assigned to carry out Jehovah's will. He will make a proper accounting. Until those wicked men repent and acknowledge their sins, they are in jeopardy. Jesus ransom is enough for them if they repent, but they have to obey him. They're not doing that yet.

My name is Audrey. I have posted here before as Easy Prompt and Fragrant Addendum.
Are you courageous enough to tell who you really are, or will you continue to hide?
(I already know the answer to that question, Judas.)
"Now this is the basis for judgment: that the light has come into the world, but men have loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were wicked. For whoever practices vile things hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be reproved. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that his works may be made manifest as having been done in harmony with God."
I am a witness of Jehovah. @vienne, who are you?

@slimboyfat, I have a soft spot in my heart for naive people - another name for such ones is "sheep."
I agree with you that there are many genuine brothers and sisters who have just been misled by the Watchtower hierarchy leaders. I love them and I miss them. I have hope that when Watchtower falls we will be reunited again.
But as regards some of the individuals you mentioned at the top of the hierarchy, while I have hope that even satanists can repent, I don't think those guys are as innocent or befuddled as many exJWs make them out to be, although the ransom is enough for them if they repent...

What made me first doubt their sincerity was when I tried to report abuse. Their reaction was the exact opposite of what is published in their literature.
And then when I kept writing to the next part up of the hierarchy, whether it was the CO or the branch guys (Service Dept, Legal Dept) and also to the Governing Body.
Once I saw how fake they were - not only fake, but outright wolves - the rest was clear who they really represent. It ain't Jehovah, that's for sure.
WT leaders = Satan's minions
Haha, @Riley, you're funny! What a jokester!🤣

@slimboyfat
Okay.🙂
What were your reasons for believing JW have the truth?
Here are some of mine: I thought they were honest and I thought they really loved me and I thought they really loved Jehovah and I thought they really loved truth and I thought they really loved other people.
But they don't. They love "privileges" more than they love God and they love "privileges" more than they love truth and they love "privileges" more than they love people.
🥲

@slimboyfat: Thinking back when I was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why I believed JWs are the true religion.
Yes, same.
@KerryKing: You always know straight away that when someone says, 'I'm serious!' or 'I'm not lying!' that's exactly the opposite of what they are.
Bible principle: "A false witness lies with every breath."
Application: When Watchtower says all those things about itself (which they do say are reasons they're the "true religion") you know the opposite is actually what is closer to the truth.
Therefore...
TOP TEN REASONS THE SO-CALLED "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" AFFILIATED WITH WATCHTOWER DO NOT HAVE THE TRUE RELIGION (PLUS A BONUS ONE)
1. They help fund war and profit off of it by means of having invested in and promoted the foundation of the modern state of Israel, as well as by having stock in companies that make and trade weapons, since stock share ownership is part of owning the company.
2. They reproach Jehovah's name by fraudulently claiming to represent Him all the while doing things that He hates like shunning people, approving of abuse and promoting abusers, encouraging taking in blood via fractions, divination/pyramidology 1914 doctrine, etc.
3. They distance people from God by teaching that He won't personally interact face-to-face with the great crowd.
4. They teach lies about Jesus' words at Matthew 24:45 thereby inserting a pharisaical and antichrist group of men as a fraudulent form of mediators who attempt to usurp Christ's role as leaders of the flock; all those following the Governing Body and its hierarchy are led astray from following Jehovah's appointed Christ.
5. While claiming to promote the kingdom they actually instead set up the Watchtower hierarchy leaders as kings now. These self-appointed kings lord it over the flock in a harsh way, meddling with what they ought not, and directly oppose Christ's teachings on love. Their shunning doctrine is used in a "political" way to oppress and control members. Elders are competitive and the rank-and-file must show support for various "candidates" of the Watchtower hierarchy in order to receive "privileges."
6. By means of their widespread preaching they have also spread leaven/hypocrisy/weeds/lies about Jehovah throughout the entire earth.
7. Their founder Russell brazenly plastered a pyramid (A Pyramid! God-damned Egypt with all those plagues and humiliated Pharaoh!) all over the earth via the "Photo-drama of Creation" and his talks and publications, even though the word "pyramid" is not found once in the Bible. While the videos talk about him "rediscovering Bible truths" the man corrupted Bible teachings at the same time, in obscene ways that had never been done before. (A freakin' Pyramid!)
8. As the numbers of Jehovah's Witnesses have increased, so has the blasphemy and reproach on God's name. Now people are blaspheming God's name all over the world by claiming to be "Jehovah's Witnesses" while adhering to reproachful false doctrines, things that God hates and that hurt people He loves.
9. Each of the JW leaders have expanded upon or introduced or promoted new ways of offending Jehovah and hurting people and hurting Jehovah God. Some ways include adding new pharisaical doctrines thereby causing more divisions in the flock and more divisions between the people and Jehovah God and more divisions between the people and Jesus.
10. The JW teachings about paradise neglects to inform the people that Jesus and the 144,000 and Jehovah God will also be materializing bodies to interact with humans here on earth, which is the principle theme of the paradise: being reunited with God. Instead, the JW teaching makes people think they'll be divided from God and Jesus for all eternity. It's sick.
11. The JW teachings mention God's sovereignty being challenged and say opposition to His sovereignty will end but then by means of raising up themselves as kings now in opposition to Christ become among the very ones challenging it.
These are the kinds of thoughts and reasons that convinced me JWs had didn't have the truth.
These are the reasons Jehovah and Jesus are tearing down Watchtower first.
i was looking around from some information on the wt's stance concerning the use of stem cells, and i came across this article on a defending jehovah's witnesses blog.. rather than informing the reader all that much about stem cells, the author diverts the conversation into a discussion of "blood fractions" (*note: the term "blood fractions" appears to be another one of those wt bloodspeak terms coined by the wt.
"blood components" or "blood products" are the terms used more frequently by the medical world.
"fractions" implies tiny amounts).
our history is not what we have been taught.
the golden dawn history.
we see that russell was involved with freemasonry and used freemasonry symbols on his earlier magazines.
Russell and Rutherford promoted Zionism via the pages of Watchtower publications while at the same time investing in businesses associated with the B'nai B'rith agenda.
After the physical nation of Israel was well established, WT changed its doctrine but kept the profits made from the investments in Swiss banks.
Watchtower continues to invest in shady activities. The "religious" front is to avoid detection.

Watchtower is an organization run by masons.
They are not witnesses of Jehovah. They are "Satan's minions."
Jesus has come to make an accounting with them.
