  Dear James Thomas:

  AwakenedAndFree, Thank you for responding to my questions

  You are very Welcome!

  "You come across as a very loving and caring person. There are other Christians like you -- several on this board -- who seem to be cultivating unconditional love for their fellow man. They are some of the kindest people here. "

  Thank you so much for these loving words, Thomas - I really appreciate your kindness. You also made an observation as to Christians not applying unconditional love to Un-Christians - The Watchtower Society does NOT apply this principle, and yet the Bible admonishing us to do so. The Scriptures admonishes us to love our neighbors as ourselves - Jesus Christ admonishes Christians to continue to love their enemies. I believe very strongly that we, as Christians are to love everyone, incluiding our enemies! The Bible teaches us to do so! The Scripture in 1 Corinthians 9:19 where the apostle Paul admonishes Christians to imitate the ones not disposed to hearing the Word: " that I might by all means save some" Here is the Scripture - I love it! 1 Corinthians 9:21:" To those without law I became as without law, although I am not without law toward God but under law toward Christ, that I might gain those without law." As far as for some people not being receptive to God's Word, Christians still need to love their neighbor,irregardless!. We please Our Creator, if we do so- It is for God only to render proper judgement to the one who left Him as well for those who are not disposed to His life-saving message We are Christians and NOT Judges. One who shuns his neighbor, that one has reproached His Maker! Treating someone like" a tax collector does not translate to shunning that one" Christian Love, AAF

  Dear Thomas:

  You said:

  "How can you love a god who will kill or severely punish you if you do not love Him?"

  I accept and esteem all God's judiciary decisions. His administration of justice , all His standards are based on righteousness . Jehovah God is the Supreme Judge and Statue - Giver of all mankind. I love God because I love righteousness. Because God created us , it is proper for us to give Him all the Glory, Reverence, Submission, Gratitude and Worship. By doing so, we became God's Children . We were bought with a price.

  1 Corinthians:" 7:23:" YOU were bought with a price........"

  Jehovah God is a very loving Heavenly Father: He patiently awaits for us to turn away from what is bad. If we turn to God and Love Him, we indeed have escaped God's execution of His Adverse Judgement. Loving God means that we are following God's paths of His Justice, His commandements and as well accept His conformity regarding His thinking that is described in His Word, the Bible.These requirements are not burdensome! By submitting ourselves to God and His laws/authority, we have chosen LIFE -which God will give to us to experience forever in the New Order!

  1 Corinthians 2:9:" But just as it is written:" Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, neither have there been conceived in the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him."

  Christian Love,

  Dear Thomas,

  You said:

  "And if we do not love Him? What then? Is there a price to pay? if we do not love Him?

  JOHN 3:16:" For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."

  I believe that God still helps some of the of the ones still "traped" in the org. - God helped me greatly while I was still in. I'am well informed about the org. now, and I can no longer be part of that membership because I KNOW that the Society is UNCLEAN doctrinally! I consider the Society as being the EVIL SLAVE CLASS!

  I have been richly blessed since I left the Organization: Everything written in the Bible is so much clear! - without the Watchtower's New truths/Old truths - awfully confusing and unscriptural interpretations!

  Iam so thankfull God released me from that spiritual concentration camp!

  Please note that God will forgive our sins, if we love Him -He created us - he is Our Heavenly Father.

  JEREMIAH:25:6:" And do not walk after other gods in order to serve them and to bow down to them, that YOU may not offend me with the work of YOUR hands, and that I may not cause calamity to YOU."

  ISAIAH 55 :6,7: (6): " Search for Jehovah, YOU people, while he may be found. Call to him while he proves to be near.(7):" Let the wicked man leave his way, and the harmful man his thoughts, and let him return to Jehovah, who will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will forgive in a large way."NWT

  this website is having an impact

  hello.........this is a first for me- i've been reading some of your messages for some time now, and i must say you guys study your watchtower far better than i ever did.

  i'm still a part of the congregation (and an elder), but i have to say i agree with many of your criticisms of the organization.

  we've become just like the pharisees that jesus condemned............at our last assembly, the do and co warned against apostate material over and over again..........so i certainly think you're having a tremendous impact on their actions.

  Dear Dothemath,

  Welcome to the forum, Brother!

  I consider you my Brother because of what you said:

  You said:" I know I'm not supposed to be here either, but I don't regard you as ones to be shunned........the Bible only reserves that for ones who have rejected Jesus, not limited to ones who believe differently than the Watchtower."

  Remember that in Jesus' Eyes the one doing God's Will - that one is Jesus' family: His Brother and His Sister.

  Happy searching for God's Truth!

  Christian Love,

  WOW! Thank you all who replied to this thread!

  The light is indeed getting brighter to me each day as I realize the Watchtower Society created a religion of their own, by using the Bible as base or a starting point ; twisting Scriptures to their own design and as well implementing disconcerted views that are unscriptural! I consider the Watcthtower Society honorably and doctrinally UNCLEAN!

  only preaching is not a way for true christians

  by mineralogist in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  could it be that different organisations just work on different ways to promote a christian life?

  this means while wts is only active in preaching, others are active in social help, others ... well in other works.

  that problem came into our mind by questioning why we are leaving.

  Well said Mineralogist!

  Have you ever heard the Watchtower Society EVER assisting their own poor with food , clothing, shelter and free transportation? I know sisters who rely on public transportation to get to their Kingdom Halls! The Watctower Society does not assist their own poor - they take from them, instead!

  Have you ever noticed the type of cars the Circuit Overseers drive? The most expensive cars I have ever seen!

  Hi,

  I am reading Revelation It's Grand Climax At Hand! published by The Watchtower Society and found these observations on page 165:

  "Similarly, Christendom's leaders defied the Bible Students, saying that these had never graduated from theological colleges. But God's witnesses had higher credentials as ministers: those meek persons who heeded their Scriptural message. ( 2 Corinthians 3:2,3) In 1917 the Bible Students published The Finished Mystery, a powerful commentary on Revelation and Ezekiel."
