I feel like you just have a hate on for them

Jehovah’s Witnesses love playing the victim and hatred card game. Just like you posit up there.

What pagan doctrines do they follow ? I’d like to know.

By their own words they will be condemned. They taught and condemned the Catholics for teaching and practice of excommunication aka disfellowshipment based on the fact that they believe it is of PAGAN origin and had nothing to do with Christianity. Here we are in the 21st century it is now a loving provision made by Jehovah😁😁😁😁

So Jehovah is His name. What organization has made his name known like the Witnesses have?

1. Jehovah’s is his name as coined by PAGANS and presented on a platter of Gold to Jehovah’s organization to spread all over the world. In reality they were not the one that got that right as God's name.

2. To people like you calling God the Father is just a title and common noun for calling God😁😁😁. The reason when calling the name of Jesus which gives glory to the father does not sit well with you.

The vast majority of Christian churches believe in the trinity then. The most popular ones.

Usual mode of operation of JWs when engaged in discussion, keep changing the goal post. Atleast you know the not popular ones don't believe the TRINITY and you are not the only one who don't believe in the trinity. My position about who believed it or not is never about popularity contest.

@ Nephilim87

The reason I will have to repeat, what do the religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses have that they do not receive.

You said..........

All of the Christian churches are using a pagan doctrine.

...................

You should know not all churches believe the trinity and the religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses is not free from pagan doctrine.

Are they?

Jehovah is his name. I agree. What difference does it make where it came from as long as it’s getting known?

At least you know they didn't get that right and it was never their origination and you will be contented spreading what the religious organization says was coined by pagan and pagan worshippers.

@Nephilim87

what did they get right that others before them don't know?

What really do they have that they did not receive or obtain from one place or another?

Even the name JEHOVAH they peddle all over the world as God's name didn't come from the organization. Jehovah didn't appear first in the Bible of Jehovah's Witnesses.

WHO or WHAT is the Watch Tower?

by Longlivetherenegades in

b. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

2. where was the faithful and discreet slave or governing body in 1924 that the word "watch tower" was used in this paragraph in year 2015?.

b. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses .

Longlivetherenegades

In 1924, The Watch Tower said that the Samaritan pictured Jesus; the road from Jerusalem to Jericho, which ran downhill, pictured mankind’s downward course since the rebellion in Eden; the thieves on the road pictured giant corporations and profiteers; and the priest and the Levite typified ecclesiastical systems. Today, our literature uses that illustration to remind all Christians that we must be impartial in rendering aid to those in need, especially in a spiritual sense. Does it not make us happy to see that Jehovah makes his teachings clear to us? said that the Samaritan pictured Jesus; the road from Jerusalem to Jericho, which ran downhill, pictured mankind’s downward course since the rebellion in Eden; the thieves on the road pictured giant corporations and profiteers; and the priest and the Levite typified ecclesiastical systems.

Does the WTS have a clergy class

by blondie in

jw
friends

this can be confusing because the wts has adjusted from not having a clergy class to not having a "paid" clergy class.. "a congregation of brothers precludes having a proud clergy class that honors itself with high-sounding titles and elevates itself above a laity" wt 6/1/2001 p. 12, pp 11. still same idea in 2021 wt october, p. 20, pp.

7, but 2022 in the wt publication, frequently asked questions about jehovah’s witnesses, page 13, the wts inserts "paid" in front of "clergy perhaps to shore up their current statement in secular courts they have clergy, just not paid) "following the model of first-century christianity, jehovah’s witnesses have no clergy-laity division.

all baptized witnesses are ordained ministers and share in the preaching and teaching work.

Longlivetherenegades

Meaning of Clergy: 1. the body of all people ordained for religious duties, especially in the Christian Church.

Clergy: 2. a group ordained to perform pastoral or sacerdotal functions in a Christian church

From the main post created by blondie......

Following the model of first-century Christianity, Jehovah’s Witnesses have no clergy-laity division. All baptized Witnesses are ordained ministers and share in the preaching and teaching work.

From the above it follows that all ELDERS aka BODY of ELDERS of Christian congregation of Jehovah's witnesses are ordained for religious duties such as pastoral and sacerdotal functions.

They sure have a clergy and a clergy class even calling it body of elders. The body of elders is a class of body in the ONE BODY of Jesus christ

Mind control

by joao in

wt has really been doing a great job at mind-controlling their members.

how can people who say they are your friends not even want to know why you're leaving when you want them to know?!

eh!

Longlivetherenegades

@ Simon spot on

Natural affection goes into the trash can once a person go up there and say..... Bro longlivetherenegade is no longer a Jehovah’s witness😂😂😂😂😂😂

Natural affection in the world of Jehovah's Witnesses is conditioned not natural.

Longlivetherenegades

They have horned the skills of mind controlling members.

They will rather spread gossips, slander about you than know the reason why you decide to leave the religious organization.

They will rather call you on phone to seek financial help hoping that you will think they are not aware of you leaving the religious organization.

Directions that don't make sense to us

by Longlivetherenegades in

at times those appointed to take the lead may give direction that does not make sense to us.

however, jehovah blesses obedience.

.......watchtower november 2021 study article 47 paragraph 11. for example:for example: so the king(david) said to joab go take a census of israel (2 samuel 24: 1.....) .

Longlivetherenegades

All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not." Watchtower 2013 Nov 15 p.20

They base their teachings on the view of their policies and procedures to continually advance their agendas.

When this same statement is given by other Christian denominations or political institutions they(Watchtower) will run to.........

Proverbs 22:3 The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself, But the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences.

In this case they don't want members apply their experience concerning the instructions given. What they really want is to follow the instructions regardless of the experience gathered or like an inexperienced one and get burnt.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

You know what comes next when Joab followed through on such directions that does not make sense from those taking the lead and even from Joab point of view including directions from those prone to mistakes and errors throughout their years of existence.

After all Jehovah indeed blesses obedience to directions that does not make sense carried out by JOAB.😋😋😋😋🤣🤣🤣
