salvation101:Considering Jesus' comment regarding Noah's day (Matthew 24:37-39) is the watchtower still on track or have derailed from the Faith? Perhaps we're wrong for saying the guy needs urgent attention both physically,mentally,emotinally,psychologically and spiritually! |

salvation101: Okay let me quote the article and let's see what exactly is been discussed . " 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. They are the few that walk the narrow way or cramped road that leads to life. These will not share in the fighting but will merely sing God's praises.—2 Chron. 20:20, 21; 2 Cor. 10:4, 5; Matt. 7:13, 14. 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. Even the professedly Christian organizations? Yes, because all such that are friends of the world are making themselves enemies of God.—1 John 5:19; Jas. 4:4. " The article never said your Jehovah will kill 99.9% of people, which is his music . Nothing like that in there . Rather It's a comparison regarding those on God side when it comes to doing his will and those on Satan's side, who neglect Gods laws to pursue their desires. now if you go by the quoted verses 1 John 5:19 that says Satan controls the world and Jesus statement that only few will walk the way of life while MANY will follow the broad gate of lawlessness. The context makes sense. 2 Likes 1 Share |

salvation101: Existence of what ? "Your leaders say jehovah will kill 99.9% " -Hairyrapunzel Do you find the above statement in the article ? |

salvation101:@Salvation 101: The quoted portion in dark print is at best a FORGERY to DISTORT what the watchtower actually says. In ALL it's publications ,JW's DON'T give exact figures of those who will enter God's kingdom or survive Armageddon. The fact remains that in comparison to the world's population, few would enter God's kingdom (Matt7:13,14. Gen7:21-23. 1pet3:20). |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by OneJ: 2:47pm On May 29, 2018 |
Na big LIE them wan put come say na watchtower talk am ("your leaders says Jehovah will kill more than 99.9% " simply means 100%)Check am na.. These dishonest people (haters of JW) are not even smart enough to disguise their hatred for the truth (matt. 7:13,14,20). |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 2:58pm On May 29, 2018 |
salvation101:NO Ma, none of Jehovah's witnesses will deny Jesus anytime anywhere anyway and before anybody. Jesus said so many things that's going to happen during the last days then He concluded "Many(among true Christians) will betray and hate one another,many false prophets will arise and mislead many (even true Christians)and due to increase in lawlessness(everywhere) the love of a many (true Christians) will grow cold but whoever endures(in practicing what Jesus taught US) to the end will be saved" Matthew 24:10-13 So if these things are happening today,whoever denies it is like denying "signs and wonders" happening in false religions which is tantamount to denying the authenticity of the one who prophesied all these events (Jesus) therefore instead of denying what Jesus has foretold would definitely occur each person needs to stand firm,immovable for his/her Faith!

OneJ: 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 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 ..." Watchtower 1958 Oct 15 p.614 If you like lie and turn a blind eye. Your leaders said more than 99% of mankind will be on Satan's side. What will happen to young children at Armageddon? The Bible does not directly answer that question, and we are not the judges. However, the Bible does show that God views the young children of true Christians as "holy." (1 Cor. 7:14) It also reveals that in times past when God destroyed the wicked he likewise destroyed their little ones." Reasoning from the Scriptures pp.47-48 "Children are affected by the course of their parents, and parents are warned that their iniquity is visited on their offspring unto the third and fourth generation. (Ex. 20:5, 6) Parents are commanded to instruct their children in God's way, and if in these last days parents refuse to heed the divine instruction and warning they bring destruction upon themselves and their small children at Armageddon. (Deut. 6:6, 7; Eph. 6:4) According to justice God can leave such children dead, for, as Ezekiel showed, all die in their iniquity." Watchtower 1950 Nov 15 p.463 "By all the evidences this system of things is hastening to its final confrontation with the God of justice at Armageddon. Parents and children who fail to gain the "mark on their foreheads," that is, an adequate appreciation of God's moral standard, are sure to suffer. Parents will be held accountable for their children, and children will suffer for the failure of their parents." Watchtower 1968 Feb 1 pp.83-84 You guys had to include Children that did not do anything to you. To assume, speculate, wish for, foresee and put in your magazines the death of children because their parents did not join a publishing company called watchtower organization and pay allegiance and obey 8 old men in new York is the most evil thing i have ever Seen. That is not all there is to God's judgment against Babylon the Great. Her final destruction is soon to come. (Revelation 18:21) With good reason, the Bible urges people everywhere: "Get out of her [Babylon the Great] . . . if you do not want to share with her in her sins." (Revelation 18:4, 5) How do we get out of Babylon the Great? This involves more than just severing any ties with false religion. Babylonish influence is present in many popular celebrations and customs, in the world's permissive attitude toward sex, in the promoting of entertainment involving spiritism, and much more. To keep on the watch, it is vital that both in our actions and in the desires of our heart, we give evidence that we are truly separate from Babylon the Great in every way." Watchtower 2005 Oct 1 p.24 "Still, Jehovah will not destroy at random. Some humans will be saved. "You went forth for the salvation of your people, to save your anointed one," says Habakkuk 3:13. Yes, Jehovah will save his faithful anointed servants. The destruction of Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion, will then be complete. Today, however, the nations are trying to wipe out pure worship. Soon, Jehovah's servants will be attacked by the forces of Gog of Magog." Watchtower 2000 Feb 1 p.22 "without question the execution of divine judgment upon apostate Christendom and the rest of Satan's world is imminent." Watchtower 1984 Oct 1 p.11 "Let us recognize that Christendom is doomed, along with all the rest of Babylon the Great. She has refused to repent of her religiously immoral or adulterous course of action, her friendship with this world. (Jas. 4:4) She is like the rest of the ungodly world, even after Jehovah's Christian witnesses have plainly declared God's impending judgment to her." Watchtower 1975 Dec 15 p.755 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 You guys even tag non jws wicked, evil, pagans and goats. It's the most derogatory thing I have ever seen in my life. |

Hairyrapunzel:Go after Jesus who said "just like it happened in the days of Noah" Matthew 24:36-39 Ask Jesus to give you the "exact percentage" of those who died in the global deluge (after all you're also claiming to be one His spirit filled followers) so that you can get the an "excellent approximation" better than that of the Jehovah's witnesses who's words you're quoting or challenge Him for saying what you don't want to hear if you're feeling uncomfortable! |

enimooko: Be saying what bible didn't say. You continue to justify the evil wishes of your cult. So you wake up every morning wishing death on billions? So you look forward to the day you god will slaughter all non jws because you assume it's from a book in the Bible? Do you know your cult has been wishing for this for the past 140 years? You guys in your organization/publishing company lack empathy and compassion. How do you continuously justify the gruesome murder of non jws that did nothing to you? This is terrible |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 8:04pm On May 29, 2018 |
enimooko:Don't mind this one,he thought the message "God's Kingdom is at hand"(Matthew 3:2,3) has no consequential damages in the brains of unrepentant sinners who never wanted God to intervene in what's affecting the creatures made in HIS image.John 1:19-24 Whether he likes it or not the preaching and teaching program concerning God's Kingdom must continue,i've told him that the ONLY thing he could do to help himself is to repent and join God's people. His malicious bitterness can't stop God's work! |

enimooko:If you like bring out different links to justify your claims that all non jws will die because they refused to join a publishing company called watchtower organization. Unlike your publishing company, These people did not say associating with their church is the only way to be saved. If you like o throw tantrum from here to jericho. Your leaders teach that over 99.9% over 8billlion non jws including children and fetuses will be slaughtered/gruesomely murdered by your God because they refused to join a publishing company called watchtower organization. Lol. You wanna cover up your non biblical beliefs |

Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Hairyrapunzel: 8:27pm On May 29, 2018 |
Riofidelio: You know you guys have been justifying killing over 8 billion non jws including children, newborns, and fetuses because they didn't join you publishing company called watchtower organization. You actually take delight in wishing for your jehovah to gruesomely murder these people because they didn't obey 8 old men in new York. This is the sickest thing I have ever heard. How do you guys even sleep? No wonder most jws suffer from anxiety, depression and schizophrenia. You want to justify you non biblical doctrine. Show me the bible verse where God used an organization to save his people? You can't bring out any Show me where governing body is mentioned in the Bible? no passage still to bring out Show me where God says if you don't join a publishing company/organization he will gruesomely murder you in Armageddon? No passage still. They are only written in watchtower magazines. |

enimooko:My brother, this one isn't interested in whatever the Bible has to say. His main concern is "stop preaching and teaching people about God's Kingdom" Any religious group that's not specific with their utterances is OK by him except Jehovah's witnesses who are hitting the nail on the head so nothing from the scriptures can move him! |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by enimooko: 8:44pm On May 29, 2018 |
What do you know about Jehovah’s Witnesses? Some people have called them Christian propagandists, a new Christian cult, a Christian sect influenced by Judaism, or fanatics who reject medical treatment. Actually, the Witnesses are none of these things. Why do some people think such things about them? Mostly because those people have been given wrong information.by Nobody: 6:19am On Apr 12 |

enimooko: Matt 7:13-14 13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. No figures are given Sir. Why would your leaders assume a percentage of 99.9% and say they are on Satan's side when the bible never stated such? That means they guessed, assumed, speculated and gave a false impression. The 99.9% you said will be on Satan's side are people who don't belong to watchtower organization. In other words, the 99.9% will be slaughtered because they refused to join a publishing company. Do yo even know the definition of few and the percentage ascribed to the word "few" ? I guess you should find out your self. 2. John 5:28-30 28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. Still no mention of the world billions. You guess, you assume and speculate. Well, you want to justify billions dying because they refused to join a publishing company. The bible passage doesn't talk about billions of non jws dying So at the end of the day 99.9% of earths population and billions of non jws will die because they refused to join an organization which is a newyork based publishing company called watchtower organization and obey the 8 old men in new York. Meanwhile all these are not in the Bible they are only seen in magazines printed by this publishing company called watchtower. |
