What about this site? Don't you see the irony that you guys get together to attack JW's on a site that promotes mail order brides? -

We have a Kingdom Hall in Australia built in a former 'Pub' or Bar as you guys say. There's one in Queensland that's built in a former Catholic Church, they had to sell 'cause there attendance was near zero. So what? Do you know what the history is to the site of your home, church, school or anything else? So what if we built a Kingdom Hall in Babylon and set up true worship there? Would that make us Babylon The Great? This is the most irrelevant and childish discussion I've come across. You guys keep picking at straws while the rafter sticks out of your eye. -

Jehovah's Witnesses - People of Integrity
by Saved_JW inwhen i think of integrity, a lot of positive connotations come to mind.
i think of individuals grounded in principles, who do not operate on opinions that change based on the breeze of political or social change.
a life that is directed by a code of morality, not on capricious emotions.

Jehovah's Witnesses have always said; "We have one leader, Jesus Christ." We are not beholden to men we support the GB because we see that God is with them. Zechariah 8:23 "Thus saith Jehovah of hosts:In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you." American Standard Version.
Who are the "ten men"? They are ones that support the "Jew" or God's chosen people, The Israel of God or spiritual Jews. The verse shows that the ten men are not literally ten men but people of all nations and languages. The Jew is not literal Israel as they are not God's chosen people anymore, Christians or Spiritual Jews are. Is the Jew one person? No. The original text says "we have heard that God is with you people", plural not one. The word "you" in the original text is plural, as in "we will go you all of you", not just one Jew.
The same prophecy is used in The Septuagint and the tetragramaton is used YHWH showing we must use the name Jehovah, no matter how you pronounce it, and that God has chosen ONE group to represent Him.
We are a loyal people. Just ask employers that prefer to hire Witnesses because of their loyalty and honesty. Just ask people that have had their wallets or property returned when found by Jehovah's Witnesses. Just ask any Witness if he is ready to die for his fellow believer and refuses to go to war so he doesn't have to kill fellow believers or even enemies. Just ask people that are married to Jehovah's Witnesses and are not Witnesses themselves how loyal their spouse is. Ask yourself! Be honest. Have you ever met a people more loyal than Jehovah's Witnesses? Who else is so dedicated and effective at preaching the good news to all nations and in all tongues? No one! As has been noted on this very site by our detractors, Jehovah's Witnesses are carrying out the greatest preaching campaign in all of history! Witnesses preach out loyalty to God and to support "the Jew", God's chosen people on earth, true Christians!
Do we question our teachings? Of course we do! That;s why we are constantly growing in knowledge of the Bible while the rest of Christendom falls apart and fades into decay. We are growing in knowledge just as the Bible prophesied that God's people would. Proverbs 4:18. Isaiah 2:2-4. Isaiah 65:13-25. Daniel 12:4. 1 Corinthians 13:12,13.
The definition of loyal is; "1
: unswerving in allegiance: asa : faithful in allegiance to one's lawful sovereign or governmentb : faithful to a private person to whom fidelity is duec : faithful to a cause, ideal, custom, institution, or productName another group of people more loyal to God and Christ. Who else is ready to go to jail for refusing to break God's commands to preach, not to take up arms, for refusing to renounce their God, for refusing to break God's command on blood and idolatry and immorality, for protecting their brothers in civil wars like in Rwanda and Yugoslavia, for keeping ALL of God's commands for Christians. There is no one more loyal than Jehovah's Witnesses as a group in all the world.

The WT is preparing for The Great Tribulation. When the government starts using 501 (c) (3) to force all false religion into submission we will be protected legally. However, our faith is not in man made laws but in Jehovah Himself and His appointed King Jesus. As we are seeing throughout America and the world the Churches of Christendom are being infiltrated by government agencies and are being used to spread government propaganda by using a fake interpretation of Romans chapter 13. By separating our Kingdom Halls from the legal entity of The Watchtower Society we avoid becoming puppets of the state with threats to take away our tax exemption, as was done in France. We will be protected by Jehovah God when the tribulation starts. We will be the last religion standing! As Jesus said; "Strive to enter in at the strait gate:for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. 29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last."
Yes! The first in Christendom and the worlds eyes will be the last on God's day of Judgment. Those that first in the world will be destroyed and anyone that supports them WILL NOT be recognized by Jesus as his servants! Those that are last, or most scorned of all Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses, will be first in Jesus eyes and will be saved. Get out of Babylon the Great before it's too late! Revelation 18:4. The Great Tribulation is fast approaching, now is the time to join us on Jehovah's side. For everyone that calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved. Joel 2:31,32 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah doth call." American Standard Version.
