It is not thinking this way it is knowing what happens
You know it!!! what evidences do u have?
So it is now for people to change their ways by joining watchtower organization and following doctrine set by their leaders interpretation of the Bible. So since your Jehovah owns this earth it will be a loving thing to murder all the
Non jws because they refused to join watchtower organization?



So he gave you conscience to tell the news that if people don't join your religion he will murder them in Armageddon. He wants it to be beneficial by murdering all humans who are not jws or make jws benefit from the murder of billions of non jws



Humans are now disobedient by accepting blood transfusion, not shunning loved ones who decide to leave the religion they were born in or by sending rapists and pedophiles to jail rather than settling the case in the church and freeing the perpetrators and disfellowshipping the victims or reproving them or by not following a religion that lied saying the world will end in 1975 or that lied about Jerusalem destruction saying it was 607bc when others say it is 587bc so that their 1914 date will look correct? I don't know the kind of disobedience you talk about.



The government even treats humans better than watchtower organization.
The government supports and advocates free education for all including higher education watchtower organization discredits and discourages higher education
The government supports women's rights but watchtower opposes it.
The government punishes criminals e.g. sexual offenders rapists pedophiles watchtower organization provides a safe haven for them
The government pays its citizens well for labor i.e. Does not support slavery while watchtower doesn't pay for its labor i.e. Supports slavery

The government advocates reaching your full potential as a human being while watchtower says achieving your full potential is a sin

The government pays pension cares for old people who worked for them they don't use and dump you while watchtower doesn't pay pension does not care for old people they use and dump people

Government provides basic amenities watchtower doesn't provide basic amenities

Government Helps people affected by natural or man made disasters irrespective of your religion while watchtower helps only jws

Government doesn't plan on destruction of citizens who don't believe in them watchtower says their Jehovah will kill every non jw

I don't understand your penchant for the government what did the government and non jws do to you people? Just because they don't accept your harmful doctrines which all lead to death or psychological imbalance

The government and non jws are good and happy people.

Or are you saying your new system will be like the way North Korea is?

[/quote]
You talk like someone with a very short reasoning, and you are only going around in circles in a what u are saying, mind u not only Jw accept treatment without blood transfusion, medical doctors worldwide now endorse it because its safe, efficient, guaranteed.

But you saw 2006 and 2001. have they been changed too? I actually took those from different years and they all say thesame thing

It's like you people like changing your beliefs th

There are billions of people who do not know Jehovah. Many of them in ignorance practice things that God's Word shows to be wicked. If they persist in this course, they will be among those who perish during the great tribulation." Watchtower 1993 Oct 1 p.19

These are from recent publications

"An even greater mistake would be to allow the faults of others to stumble us and cause us to leave Jehovah's organisation. Were that to happen, we would lose not only the privilege of doing God's will but also the hope of life in God's new world." Watchtower 2016 Jun study ed pp.25-26

"Really, our survival involves being devoted to Jehovah God and learning about the kind of conduct and deeds that please him. (Zephaniah 2:3) Rather than following the majority today and ignoring the clear signals that we are living in such important times, we need to “keep close in mind the presence of the day of Jehovah.” Jehovah’s Witnesses can show you from the Bible how you can be a survivor of this upcoming day." Watchtower 2015 May 1 p.8

"If we stop actively supporting Jehovah's work, then we start following Satan. There is no middle ground." Watchtower 2011 Jul 15 p.18

"But Jehovah's servants already belong to the only organization that will survive the end of this wicked system of things." Watchtower 2007 Dec 15 p.14

Explain these recent publications then still looks like they have always preached thesame message
Are all this things the same thing? na wa for you oooo...
This last watchtower 2007 says the only organization, among the organization of this world(what are the rest of the organization that we have on earth?).
The watchtower 2011 say if we stop doing Jehovah's work and NOTE that it says and if we start following Satan, not everyone that leaves the organization(for some reason known only to them) followed Satan and its not this ones that the watchtower is talking about. Now if you read thru the rest of the publications you quoted you will understand that is referring basically to those that are obedient to Godly principles NOT JUST JWS....YOU ARE MISQUOTING THE ISSUES TIMES AND AGAIN.

Check the latest information on our website about if Jehovah's witness teach they only will be save, I have copied and here below:
Do Jehovah’s
Witnesses Feel That
They Are the Only
People Who Will Be
Saved?
No. Many millions who lived in centuries past and who
weren’t Jehovah’s Witnesses will have an opportunity
for salvation.

Hmmmm your normal style of asking your questions and answering them in a deceitful way why saying thesame thing

From this first answer you ain't still giving the answer
You are saying those who died before the centuries jw was formed i.e. Before the 19th century will be resurrected and have an opportunity to be saved i.e. If they see they can cope with jw rules they will be saved if not they will die with other non jws


The Bible explains that in God’s promised
new world, “there is going to be a resurrection of both
the righteous and the unrighteous.” ( Acts 24:15 )

Read the whole chapter of acts 24 you misquote the Bible. Still God or Paul did not say you will survive Armageddon only if you are a jw or belong to any organization

Additionally, many now living may yet begin to serve
God, and they too will gain salvation.

You are saying many people living now may decide to join watchtower organization and gain salvation. It is still thesame thing we are saying according to you people the end is near and your Jehovah will destroy non jws the only way you will survive this is by becoming a jw and joining watchtower and also obeying its rules and regulations.

In any case, it’s
not our job to judge who will or won’t be saved. That
assignment rests squarely in Jesus’ hands.—John 5:22,
27

From your publications below it Says judgement has been placed already

"Of this historical preview of Armageddon, the Bible says: "For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be." (Matthew 24:37-39) So the circumstances relating to the end of our world order at Armageddon will be similar to those associated with the ancient Deluge. They will be: (1) The planet Earth and its animal life will survive; (2) the significance of our times is missed by most people through preoccupation with the normal processes of life; (3) the majority of mankind take no note of the divine warning of Armageddon; (4) hence the majority of mankind will be destroyed at Armageddon; and (5) only a small minority of mankind will find favour with God and survive the "war of the great day of God the Almighty."" From Kurukshetra to Armageddon - and Your Survival pp.17-19


"Why should not blood run deep and far with over two billion [the world population in 1955] dead?.... With the members of this generation that will not pass away before Armageddon breaks out numbering now two billion five hundred million and with only the remnant and a larger group of "other sheep" inside the Greater Noah's "ark" surviving, the death toll of the "war of the great day of God the Almighty" will be appallingly all-surpassing, too many for the Armageddon survivors to bury. Come on, birds and beasts! Have your fill then from the human corpses in retribution for the wanton slaughter of animal and birdlife of which the human race has been guilty!" You May Survive Armageddon Into God's New World 1955 pp.340-342

"As for humans upon earth, on the side of Jehovah will be all those fully dedicated to him and who are faithfully following Jesus Christ; compared with earth's billions these are indeed few.... On Satan's side will be all the rest of mankind, more than 99.9 percent, even as we read: "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." That includes all the governments of the world together with their supporters, the commercial, religious and social institutions.... Armageddon will be the worst thing ever to hit this earth in the history of man." Watchtower 1958 Oct 15 pp.614-615

"Yes, today, with Armageddon staring us in the face, we must keep in mind the sobering thought that millions, even billions, of lives may shortly come to a swift and decisive end, putting their onetime owners beyond the reach of any expression of love on our part." Watchtower 1965 Apr 1 p. 212

Haaa you want to deny that your organization says they are the only means to salvation?
In order words belonging to watchtower organization is the only way one can live by godly principles.

No matter how you want to sugar coat it your message is thesame since 1879 "the end is near our Jehovah will come to destroy mankind if you are not a jw and don't belong to watchtower organization you won't survive it. After murdering all non jws he will make a new system for the jws". Even your governing body member Anthony Morris in a video said during the holy war he will be with his Jesus as an angel slaughtering or kill satans followers aka worldly people.

What does your Jehovah stand to gain by murdering billions non jws?

I think your new system will smell of dead bodies for a long time.

Christians can't be a party to the mass murder/slaughter of billions of humans we don't subscribe to your kind of Beliefs

If Catholics adjusted their views on their own bible teaching you will openly criticize them in your magazine calling them false religion and say they are false prophets.
Don't you think is hypocritical of you to judge them when you know you still do thesame thing?

So people who died before they adjusted their bible teaching died in error right?

Stop sugar coating your beliefs.

So the criteria for Jehovah one and only religion is adjustment of doctrines?

How can a true god be involved with a religion who always adjusts their beliefs.

"I dug deeper into the teachings of my faith and also consulted with responsible Mormon Church leaders. I was told that the answers to my questions involved mysteries that one day would be solved as the light became brighter." Watchtower 2013 Feb 1 p.9

""Tell me," he asked, "how can I have confidence in anything? How can I believe in the Bible, in God, or have faith? Just ten years ago we Catholics had the absolute truth, we put all our faith in this. Now the pope and our priests are telling us this is not the way to believe any more, but we are to believe 'new things.' How do I know the 'new things' will be the truth in five years?"" Awake! 1970 Apr 22 p.8

See your religions criticisms of other religions changes yet you adjust or change your own and feel it's ok but when other religions do same you label them as false religion. #Hypocrisy

Deuteronomy 18:20-22
However, the prophet who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded him to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. And in case you should say in your heart: "How shall we know the word that Jehovah has not spoken?" when the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word does not occur or come true, that is the word that Jehovah did not speak. With presumptuousness the prophet spoke it."

You said your God will kill people just because they didn't join watchtower organization and follow their rules.

The human government is trying at least they have helped more people on this earth than watchtower organization. Human government consist of humans who are compassionate and who show empathy

I don't know why you are engrossed with human government being destroyed and billions of humans being murdered

Russel taze came said world was going to end in 1914 he died of heartbreak in 1916 Rutherford, knorr, franz, henschel etc were waiting for the end to come and their Jehovah to destroy the earth and kill billions they all died of heartbreak

The 7 men in New York are still preaching the end is near and they built new headquarters. Well they will still wait for the destruction and heartbreak will kill them when it doesn't come the cycle will continue

Russel taze came said world was going to end in 1914 he died of heartbreak in 1916 Rutherford, knorr, franz, henschel etc were waiting for the end to come and their Jehovah to destroy the earth and kill billions they all died of heartbreak

The 7 men in New York are still preaching the end is near and they built new headquarters. Well they will still wait for the destruction and heartbreak will kill them when it doesn't come the cycle will continue

Present your own and let's deliberate on it now.....because that verse says they are standing in front of the throne does that mean that the Great crowd are in heaven abi? Prove it that they are in heaven.

Revelation 7:9
9 After this I looked, and there was a great crowd that no one could number. They were from every nation, tribe, people, and language. They were standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They wore white robes and held palm branches in their hands.

Rev 19:1 19 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:

“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

Where is the throne and where is the lamb?

You said that it is only your Jehovah that knows who he will destroy and who he will save. I just showed you that otherwise. Your organization has passed judgement already as they know who will be saved and who will be destroyed.

don't try to cover up your inhumane beliefs

Are you telling me that it i not thesame Jehovah that was responsible for 1950s and recent publications? Or you are saying they are different? Or your Jehovah is a Jehovah of adjusted beliefs or your Jehovah is just
confused? I showed you new publications 2016 and you didn't comment on that

Have a nice time dreaming of where your Jehovah will destroy the earth, billions i.e. human government and people who do don't pay allegiance to watchtower organization aka non jws including their children so that millions (jws) will inherit earth

My reaction would be if the a JW knocks on my door "is don't open it.
I would prefer to open my door to someone else, who knows the Word of God, at least I would know, where they stand..

If they had said the same thing to your mum, what would have been your reaction? Jesus gave us an assignment to preach the Good news about his kingdom but you, the one sitting in your comfort get laughing at someone who probably left his business for the day to obey the command of Jesus. How did your laughter glorify God?
Another thing is that you heard a gossip from a friend without making an attempt to confirm from the Jehovah's witnesses themselves yet you publicly announced it on a public forum. What does that speak of you?

LETS GO BEYOND AND STUDY WHAT SORT OF FAIRY-TAIL BELIEFS THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES BELIEVE?
Fr. William Saunders
Recently a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses came to my door. Could you please explain to me their background and what they believe?—A reader in Springfield
The Jehovah's Witnesses were founded by Charles Taze Russell, a former haberdasher from Philadelphia, in early 1872 in Alleghany, Pa. Russell was born on Feb. 16, 1852 in Pittsburgh, and died on Oct. 31, 1916. He was baptized a Congregationalist, and was raised in a strict Protestant family. His later study of the Bible led him to deny the existence of hell and the doctrine of the Trinity, and to express Arian views concerning the nature of Jesus Christ, denying His divinity.

In 1879, Russell founded the journal <The Watchtower> and in 1884 formed the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. He traveled on preaching missions throughout the United States and Europe, organizing his followers, who were called Russellites, Millennial Dawnists, International Bible Students and finally Jehovah's Witnesses. During his missionary work, he faced several scandals including separation from his wife after 18 years of marriage, and the accusation of fraud for selling "miracle wheat" for a very high price.

Upon Russell's death in 1916, Judge Joseph Franklin Rutherford, a Missouri lawyer who had defended Russell in several of his legal battles, succeeded him as president of the society. Rutherford officially incorporated the group in 1931 as the Jehovah's Witnesses with the legal title, "The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society." Rutherford developed Russell's ideas into a formal doctrinal system. He also transformed the congregational structure of the sect as it was under Russell into a rigid theocracy. Rutherford laid the foundation for the sect as we know it today.

According to the Jehovah's Witnesses, there is one God, and since 1931, they have insisted that He be called "Jehovah." This is a corruption in the pronunciation of the Hebrew <Yahweh>, which occurred about the third century B.C. and was carried into the King James Bible's translation of <Yahweh> in {Exodus 6:3} The Jehovah's Witnesses say that Jesus is God's Son, but is inferior to God. They condemn the Trinity as pagan idolatry and accordingly deny Christ's divinity. Russell even claimed that the Trinity was the idea of Satan. Ironically, however, when they baptize, they use the formula, "...In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

Nevertheless, the Jehovah's Witnesses consider Jesus as the greatest Witness of all, inferior to no one except Jehovah Himself. Before existing as a human being, Jesus was a spiritual creature called the Logos, or Word, or even Michael the Archangel. He died as a man and was raised as an immortal Spirit-Son.

They believe that the Bible is the only source of belief and rule of conduct. However, their Bible aids seem to have more strength. They are only allowed to use their own translation of the Bible and other official publications. Unfortunately, many purposeful mistranslations exist in their version to support their tenets. For example, in the New Testament, "Lord" is translated <Jehovah> except where it refers directly to Christ. In the Last Supper account, they translate, "Take, eat. This is My body." To "Take, eat. This means My body." To affirm that Jesus was created, they add the word other to {Colossians 1:16} "By means of Him, everything was created...,"; "By means of Him, all other things were created in the heaven and upon the earth... All other things have been created through him and for him. Also, He is before all other things and by means of Him all other things were made to exist."

The Jehovah's Witnesses also deny the immortality of the soul, the existence of hell, and the seven sacraments. (Although they have ritual of baptism, they regard it as merely the exterior symbol of their dedication to the service of Jehovah.) They observe no feast—including Christmas—except the Memorial of the Last Supper, which they hold once a year after sundown on the 14th day of Nisan (a former method of computing the date of Easter and Passover) and during which only those who consider themselves as being among the celestial 144,000 may partake of the "emblems"—the bread and wine. They refuse blood transfusions. They also refuse to salute the flag, seeing this as an act of idolatry.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are also preoccupied with Armageddon—the final clash between the forces of good and evil. Here God will destroy the old system of creation and establish Jehovah's Kingdom. A group of 144,000 spiritual sons of God will rise to heaven, rule with Christ, and share their happiness with the others. However, the wicked will undergo complete destruction. Russell said that this Armageddon could not happen later than 1914. (He had given specific dates and times on three earlier occasions, but was wrong). From 1920, Rutherford proclaimed that "millions now living will never die"; he also expected the "princes of old"—Abraham, Isaac, and the others—to come back to life by 1925 as rulers over the New World.

After so many mistaken predictions, the Watch Tower Society of the mid-20th century no longer specified an exact date for all of this to happen; but it repeated that "this generation will by no means pass away until all things occur." More recently, Nathan Knorr, who succeeded Rutherford in 1942 as head, predicted that the world would end in 1974; the world itself did not end, but this world did for Knorr—he died in 1974. Nevertheless, Witnesses are deeply convinced that the end of the world will come within a very few years.

Each member is considered an ordained minister to give witness to Jehovah by announcing His approaching Kingdom. He may do this by door-to-door evangelization, by meeting with others for home Bible studies, or by standing at street corners to display Watch Tower literature. Preaching the good news is the only means of salvation. Ordinarily, the entry level Jehovah's Witness is called a "servant". A "publisher," attends five hourly meetings a week and is to devote 10 hours a month witnessing. A "pioneer" gives 100 hours a month to the society.

The main office is in Brooklyn, New York. The Jehovah's Witnesses are highly centralized. Branch offices in important countries supervise the work and channel the distribution of publications. District and circuit servants regularly visit local congregations to meet local servants, pioneers and publishers. Exact statistics are kept of all activities. As of 1994, about one million Witnesses belong to more than 22,000 congregations in some 80 countries.

Fr. Saunders is president of Notre Dame Institute and associate pastor of Queen of Apostles Parish, both in Alexandria.

Luke 10 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Seventy Sent Out
{10} After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also,[a] and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.
{2} Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.
{3} Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
{4} Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road.
{5} But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
{6} And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you.
{7} And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages.
Do not go from house to house.
{8} Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
{9} And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

{Luke 10:25} And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
{26} He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”
{27} So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’[h] and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’”[i]
{28} And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.”
