Question For Jehovah Witness, Why The Name? by Emusan(m): 10:37pm On Sep 12, 2018
The true body of Christ all bear witness to the rising Lord Jesus but a particular group decided to isolate themselves by given themselves a name known as 'Jehovah Witness'

If you ask any of their members, why bearing witness to Jehovah and not Jesus Christ?

Their quick respond will be God says in Isa 43:10 that "you're my witness says Jehovah..." just as they explained it here under the topic: why are we called Jehovah witness?
Many people think that Jehovah’s Witnesses is the name of a new religion. However, over 2,700 years ago, the servants of the only true God were described as his “witnesses.” ( Isaiah 43:10-12 ) Until 1931, we were known as Bible Students. Why did we adopt the name Jehovah’s Witnesses? https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/jehovahs-will/why-called-jehovahs-witnesses/

Notice that it was said here that "...Over 2,700 years ago, the SERVANTS of the only true God we're described as his "WITNESSES"

Which means, the NAME Jehovah witness didn't start from them but originated from Bible.
NOTE: Originated here means they're not the first people to be called Jehovah witness but every Biblical Characters are all Jehovah witnesses. You can read that from the link!

Now, when reading Watchtower magazine and Awake publication of Jehovah witness. Whenever, there's a reference to old people especially the disciples of Jesus Christ and people who walked with the disciples. Their publications ALWAYS refer to them as 'EARLY CHRISTIANS'

My questions are:
1. If people are actually known in the Bible over 2,700 years ago as witnesses, why can't we find exert name as Jehovah witness directly applied to a person/group of people in the Bible?

2. Why does Watchtower and Awake always refer to the early people as 'EARLY CHRISTIANS' and not EARLY JEHOVAH WITNESS?

1) Men of faith knew they were Jehovah's servants (witnesses for Jehovah), but didnt formally referred to themselves as Jehovah's witnesses. Dan 12:4,8-10.>Through the holy spirit, that insight & understanding came to Jesus followers .
"Simon described how God was "taken from the Gentiles a people for himself" Acts 15:14, Paul called these "men of faith " a cloud of witnesses" for Jehovah whom we should copy from. Hebrew 11:1-39. 12:1-3. .

2) Simply because the first followers of Christ were referred as 'followers of the Way ' ,these were witnesses too) Acts 22:4,19,20..
In the same vein,nothing changes the fact that Christ witnessed for Jehovah but he didn't adopt the name "Jehovah's. Witnesses" like we , JWs did in the 1930s.

You guys have done everything to relegate Jesus Christ to the background. He doesn't matter in your congregation. First you say he was created, he was an angel, he didn't resurrect bodily, and now you guys are saying you are witness to Jehovah, not Jesus. Was it Jehovah that sent you to go preach the gospel to all nations?

Early followers of Jesus were called Christians. The apostles and disciples were called Christians. Today's followers are still called Christians. Anybody who doesn't stand under that name as an umbrella is clearly an heretic and of the devil.

Imagine them adopting a name for themselves which is different from the name the apostles of Jesus Christ were known as.

They not only preached a totally different Jesus, but also they don't want to associate with his name. What did Paul say about such people?

Galataians 1:8

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

The early followers of Jesus Christ were called Christians. His apostles and disciples were called Christians. Today's followers of his are called Christians. How come the Jehovah's witnesses don't want to be referred to as that?

They don't even want to associate with Jesus. They have relegated him in their congregation. First they say he was created, he was an angel, he never resurrected bodily, now they are saying the name Christian is not good enough for them. That is total rejection of Jesus Christ. These people have gone against the established ways and are doing man-made doctrines.

They claim it's Jehovah they are following. Wasn't Jehovah that sent you into the world to preach the gospel to all nations? Is Jesus Chris not your Lord?

You have shown that it is another gospel you are preaching. See what Paul said of your kind who will come and throw away the name Christianity and adopt whatever name they like.

Galatians 1:8

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

So what make them not to be FORMALLY REFER TO THEMSELVES AS JEHOVAH WITNESS?

Why then your organization lied that over 2700 years ago people have been using the name Jehovah witness?


Show me any where in the scripture where people are addressed as Jehovah witness.

God will deliver you sha, see how you linked Acts 15:14 with Hebrew

Anyways, why does your organization dim it fit to be addressed as Jehovah witness when the MEN OF FAITH couldn't do so?

Your scripture reference has no correlation with what you said and even my question.

Whether Christ witnesses for Jehovah isn't an issue (emphasis) the point is why did Watchtower and Awake ALWAYS called these people EARLY CHRISTIANS and not EARLY JEHOVAH WITNESS?

Christ couldn't adopt the name despite the fact that He witnessed to Jehovah [b]but you people now has the authority from the same Christ to ADOPT the name....that's wonderful!

It's already established from the OP that your organization made a claim that was never found in the Bible.

All faithful servants of God right from Abel till today are Jehovah's witnesses. Hebrews 11:4-40,12:1 Jesus also acknowledge that He is a WITNESS. Revelations 1:5 So Jesus said to Christians "you will be my witnesses"{Act 1:8} to distinguish between fake Jewish worshipers also claiming to be Witnesses of Jehovah and real Witnesses of the day that God has given divine approval (Christians) since Jesus the way, truth and life is with them, whereas those arrogant Jews condemned God's son. Today we have adopted our former divinely inspired name so that honesthearted persons could distinguish between true worshippers and thousands of misrepresentations all claiming "Christians". Jesus asked US to separate ourselves with the group name "Christians" in the first century and today He has ordered US to return to that former name as all forms of pagans are becoming comfortable with the old group name "Christians" which was a ridiculous name in the first century. We're no part of the world so our group name must always single US out from FAKE religions! Those leading US are seeing Him and following Him ANYWHERE He goes! Revelations 14:4 that's why we can't remain bearing the same group name with other religions. Thanks and God bless you! smiley smiley smiley

It's just so ridiculous the way you people attempt question without adequate knowledge.

TATIME:

You're still lying like your organization
show me from that Hebrew where the Word Jehovah's witness appeared?

Jesus also acknowledge that He is a WITNESS. Revelations 1:5

What the Bible says here is "...FROM Jesus Christ, 'THE faithful witness'..." NWT

Notice the article "THE" Jesus Himself is THE ONE WE A WITNESS TO

So Jesus said to Christians "you will be my witnesses"{Act 1:8} to distinguish between fake Jewish worshipers also claiming to be Witnesses of Jehovah and real Witnesses of the day that God has given divine approval (Christians) since Jesus the way, truth and life is with them, whereas those arrogant Jews condemned God's son.

See where you shot yourself in the legs...
Jesus says we should be His witness because of the arrogant Jews who are claiming to be JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES. But your governing body says No! let's follow the arrogant Jews and forget about Jesus Christ.

Today we have adopted our former divinely inspired name

You're not supposed to ADOPT the name if it's already ESTABLISHED IN THE BIBLE. So for you to adopt it, it means it's never a Biblical name which is the reason no one has ever been called a Jehovah's witness in the Bible.

so that honesthearted persons could distinguish between true worshippers and thousands of misrepresentations all claiming "Christians".

Yet your publications can still refer to the people of old as EARLY CHRISTIANS.

Isn't it evident that your publications are promoting fake worshippers?

You people can go to any length just to drag the word of God down.

Jesus asked US to separate ourselves with the group name "Christians" in the first century

Kindly give us the verse where this can be found.

and today He has ordered US to return to that former name as all forms of pagans are becoming comfortable with the old group name "Christians" which was a ridiculous name in the first century.

So Jesus allowed even His disciples to be called a pagan name "Christians" till they died and later secretly told Rutherford in 1931

Don't forget Russell also died as a Christian!


We're no part of the world so our group name must always single US out from FAKE religions!

Then, this is for a personal thing but why did your organization lie that old people are Jehovah witnesses?

Then you should know that you're not following the commandment of our Lord Jesus Christ who says "You shall be MY witness..."

You mean your GB are seeing Jesus!

U came here with a preconceived notion &your obstinate heart would remain closed, U no go agree to see road even if Jesus come from heaven to open your heart.

al,whose gospel did Jesus preach? Is it the same gospel that U ,alBHAGDADI is preaching?

What is the gospel of Jesus Christ, which Paul referred to in Galatians 1:8?
"Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God..." Mark 1:14,15.

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a WITNESS to all the nations, and then the end will come" Matt 24:14.


Is Jesus a witness for Jehovah? Rev3:14. Yes.

Are Christ followers (Christians) witnesses of Jehovah? Acts 22:4,9,20. Yes !

I'm sorry Sir/Ma if my comments got you enraged. There is freedom of expression today so Jesus' instruction to US is to go and meet people in their homes if we notice that some people are doing things wrongly,at least to correct those who will listen. So i'll advise you to contact my brothers or sisters in your neighborhood for scriptural principles and more explanations regarding the topic. Thanks and God bless you!

Anybody whom the true God has taken for himself ,is a Jehovah's witness. Acts 15:14. U no dey understand English?
If u followed the deity of your family/community, do U need to call yourself a devotee, when the facts are already obvious to everyone?

U have NOT actually studied JW literature, rather U perused it looking for perceived "faults ".
Early Christians were JWs. They imitated Jehovah God & his son,Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:1. ,1Cor 11:1,
But who did Jesus imitate?
"Jesus answered them: I tell you the truth, the son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing..." John 5:19.


In pre- christian era, faith & obedience to Jehovah's righteous standard set apart (from their contemporaries) the men of faith as worshippers of Jehovah. They don't have to call themselves Jehovah's witnesses in order to prove that they were. Heb11:1-40.

Action speaks louder than words.
For the fact that Christ witnessed for Jehovah, he was a JW, that he didnt adopt the name, JW , doesn't prove otherwise. He made Jehovah's name known to his followers (John 17:25,26).He was a preacher of God's kingdom. That's what JWs do. Matt24:14, Mark 1:14,15. Luke 8:1.


If U are not preaching the gospel of the good news of God's kingdom,the work Jesus did, then U are off key & off point. U are not imitating Jesus.
The day would come ,he will say "I never knew you". Matt: 7:21-23

The day would come ,he will say "I never knew you". Matt: 7:21-23
cheesy cheesy cheesy Just imagine "why Israelites who knew that they're witnesses of Jehovah never called themselves 'Jehovah's witnesses'" Whereas Goliath was calling out at the top of his voice saying "you slaves of Jehovah!". Well don't blame them because their translators has replaced the divine name with Lord so even when they read from now till next year they can never understand that David in his psalms was referring to Jehovah when he sang "Jehovah is my shepherd" Psalms 23:1 I wonder why someone in his or her right senses could be asking why David didn't call himself a Jehovah's witness? cheesy cheesy cheesy This person even said "Russell didn't call himself a Jehovah's witnesses" forgetting that Russell is not the founder of the congregation. Jesus never called His followers "Christians" but they ADOPTED it when Jews in Antioch started mocking them with that group name and they love been mocked for Christ's sake. Today all of them even confirmed pagans are claiming to be Christians! That's why Jesus in spirit has directed His own followers today to return to the divine name found in Isaiah 43:10 So if they're truly His witnesses, let them prove it by going out to meet people in their homes {face to face} and not hiding behind social media facelessly without a specific name just for arguments sake. Jesus goes to meet people in their homes, that's why He knew those who responded to His preaching and teaching by face and name.And that's the instruction He gave US His TRUE followers.

U came here with a preconceived notion &your obstinate heart would remain closed, U no go agree to see road even if Jesus come from heaven to open your heart.

al,whose gospel did Jesus preach? Is it the same gospel that U ,alBHAGDADI is preaching?

What is the gospel of Jesus Christ, which Paul referred to in Galatians 1:8?
"Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God..." Mark 1:14,15.

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a WITNESS to all the nations, and then the end will come" Matt 24:14.


Is Jesus a witness for Jehovah? Rev3:14. Yes.

Are Christ followers (Christians) witnesses of Jehovah? Acts 22:4,9,20. Yes !
They are not witnesses of Jehovah because they didn't witness Jehovah. It is Jesus Christ they witnessed, that's why they are called Christians, not jehovians.

What is it you JW are witnessing about God whom you've not seen? You can only witness about Jesus whom mankind has seen.

I said it earlier that you guys are preaching another doctrine. Paul and the apostles were fine with the masses. even Christians. But today, you guys have ditched it and are now calling yourselves JW with claims that Jesus directed you people to adopt the name. So, Jesus told you guys to dump the name His apostles used?

Who saw the Jesus when he spoke those words?

Forming a new name for yourselves is the same thing as forming a new lord for yourselves, which are the GB in New York, instead of Jesus.

Sorry dude, what you JW are doing is called spreading heresies. On top of that, you are still boasting about being better than others.

Where were you people when Christian missionaries brought the gospel to Africa, where they faced harsh conditions, ritualist, mosquitoes and stiff resistance? After they've successfully established the belief in Africa and most parts of the world, you guys now showed up from nowhere and started preaching another gospel which Paul warned us to look out for.

Here you are boasting because you go knocking on people's doors to SHOW thYem YOUR FACE. Can you do that in Saudi Arabia or some other core Muslim country? No, but when the Christians struggling to bring the gospel to those people succeed at the risk of their life and the Muslim country accepts Christianity, you guys will now SHOW YOUR FACE by teaching them false doctrines like Jesus was created and was an angel.

The fact that you can SHOW YOUR FACE when you go preaching to people in their houses is because true Christians paid the sacrifice, not you. You are just an opportunist who was never part of the struggle.

You're correct 100%,just that you failed to realize that there was NO Christian missionaries if they're "struggling" to preach to those who aren't ready for the good news. The instruction from Jesus (whom you claimed you're witnessing for) is "where you're not welcome, dust your feet and move to another place" Matthew 10:11-15 So my friend it's clear that those whom your forefathers knew weren't Christians because Jesus never said "insist on preaching in the face of brutal criticism". Therefore they came "not for Christ" but on another MISSION which is obvious today.These so called missionaries came with "colonialism" and forced your forefathers to worship in the way they knew not,their counterparts (the Arabs) arrived in the northern part of Nigeria forcing them to practice a religion they knew not. The same event is repeating itself today because before Jesus came, there were false Christs who deceived many Jews. Act 5:36,37 But when Jesus finally arrived, the people rejected Him because of what those forerunners of falsehood has inculcated in their hearts.

You are talking of dusting off your feet when a certain place rejects your preaching. Have you gone to Saudi Arabia talk less of dusting your feet because they rejected you?

When Jesus passed the instruction to his disciples to dust off their feet and leave whatever city that rejects them, He was still on earth with them. But that instruction changed when He was ascending to heaven. He told them to go into all nations and make disciples of all men. When are you going to make disciples of the Arabs or didn't Jesus die for them as well?

If the early Christians had fled Rome when the persecutions were worse, whereby they were used as street lights when they were burnt, do you think there will be Christians in Italy and Europe today? You even claim Jesus never insisted on. preaching in the face of brutality. How come He was warning His disciples of how some of them will be beheaded for the gospel? What you are saying in essence is that once a Christian sees a stiff resistance, he should flee. That is the nurturing of a spirit which will make them receive the mark of the beast when the Antichrist is revealed, because they have not been trained to face hardship and resistance. You JW will worship the beast because you have never faced resistance like the missionaries whom you are trying to rubbish.

You people that became a group in recent times are now claiming to be the true Christians doing God's work.

You are now saying we rejected you. Look at how late you arrived, and since you arrived you haven't shown one single act of the apostles. No healing, no miracles, no nothing. You mean you were the ones Jesus told to go and make disciples of all men? So after sleeping for countless centuries, you now woke up recently remembering that Jesus sent you to deliver a message.

Jesus said "where you're not welcomed",There are Jehovah's witnesses in most Arab countries "where the good news is welcomed" and for your information. Any country not allowing for the good news to be preached in it, the same thing that happened to Jews in Jerusalem during the year 66ce will happen to them. Those Jews were killed while the Christians escaped from the Roman army that came to destroy Jerusalem and it's Temple. The Christians escaped because they hid the warning of Jesus. Today many Arab countries are in chaos because Jehovah's witnesses must preach and teach first in all land before God's kingdom come. Matthew 24:14 That's why America is insisting on "freedom of expression" and this includes religious freedom. Those Arabians are following the traits of Ishmael whom the Angel of Jehovah has prophesied that he and his generation will never know PEACE.

You keep on hammering on this talk that Jesus told His disciples to flee from whatever city that rejects them. You forgot that He made that statement when He was on earth with them. Let me show you how that statement changed.

Do you remember when he called them together and asked them about when He sent them out in twos to go preach? He asked them if they lacked anything during the outing which He told them not to take anything along with them, not even an extra clothe or shoes. They all said they lacked nothing. What did He later say? He said now they can take with them those things, even a sword. Why, because He knew they would lack a lot when He leaves them. He knew they will be beheaded and persecuted.

If He could be sending them out again telling them to take belonging stuff with them, contrary to what He earlier told them, then it means that He is now against them dusting their feet when they are rejected. He knew a time would come when He won't be with them physically. That's why He told the disciples of John the Baptist that His own disciples cannot fast now because He is still with them, and that they will fast when He is away.

If the missionaries had dusted their feet when they stepped into Africa where they faced huge resistance, then there won't be Christianity here today. And please don't come up with the talk that you JW would have won Africa for Christ, because you guys can't face a pinch of that resustance and have never faced such.

I'm glad you admit that the JW people in Arab countries are only there because the gospel is welcomed there. That is because some Christians put their life on the line to ensure that. You guys are just opportunists reaping from where you did not sew.

I'm sorry Sir/Ma if my comments got you enraged. There is freedom of expression today

You guys always go off topic just to cajole reader's mind away from the main topic.

You haven't provided tangible answers to my questions

so Jesus' instruction to US is to go and meet people in their homes

So where does the instruction to witness for Jehovah come from, if it's Jesus that actually gave you the instruction?

if we notice that some people are doing things wrongly,at least to correct those who will listen. So i'll advise you to contact my brothers or sisters in your neighborhood for scriptural principles and more explanations regarding the topic. Thanks and God bless you!


Until your brothers and sisters in my neighborhood came before you can clarify issue about your organization scriptural manipulation.

After you accused the old people of following Pagan by allowed to be called 'Christians'

My questions are still remain:
1. Where does anybody/group of people address in the Old Testament as Jehovah witness because your organization claimed that the NAME Jehovah witness has been around since over 2,700years ago?

2. Why does your publications "watchtower and awake" always refer to the old saints as EARLY CHRISTIANS and not EARLY JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES? Despite the fact that your organization said the name has been around over 2,700 years ago.


In absent of a proof from you, you made another claim that you people ADOPTED the name after Jesus instructed you.

Which beg for another question;
Why would Jesus later instruct you but allowed His own disciples to die as a Christian INCLUDING your founder Charles Taze Russell?

Yet you wrapped your head in delusions telling me to contact JW neighbor that possess the same delusions as yours.

I even challenged you to list just one verse where people were called Jehovah witness that I will list more than five where people witness to Jesus.

Jesus admonished His TRUE followers to be CAUTIOUS as serpent and HARMLESS as dove. Matthew 10:16 Meaning they must be cautious as to entering cities in other not to encounter fierced oppositions but when they are trapped then they must become as harmless as dove. Well that's exactly what Jehovah's witnesses are doing today, unlike those whom you called missionaries only to leave your forefathers in confusion with hundreds of various religions in the name of "denominations"(1Corinthians 1:10 compared to Ephesians 4:5) just like they were worshipping before the arrival of the so called missionaries, each locality with their gods full of different dos and donts all claiming Christians under one Lord.

Anybody whom the true God has taken for himself ,is a Jehovah's witness. Acts 15:14. U no dey understand English?

And yet these people failed to be addressed as Jehovah witness for once.

It's you who lack basic comprehension.

If u followed the deity of your family/community, do U need to call yourself a devotee, when the facts are already obvious to everyone?

But you called yourself a devotee today...why can't you follow the step of those who didn't bother to call themselves Jehovah's witnesses or your own analogy?

U have NOT actually studied JW literature, rather U perused it looking for perceived "faults ".

I can see that the one I quoted needs a PhD in Watchtower or awake knowledge to understand.

Early Christians were JWs. They imitated Jehovah God & his son,Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:1. ,1Cor 11:1,

Yet your publications never addressed them as Jehovah witnesses but keeping using the phrase "Early Christians"

Imagine, to witness to is now change to "To imitate"
How can you imitate God, please?

But who did Jesus imitate?
"Jesus answered them: I tell you the truth, the son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing..." John 5:19.

So this makes Jesus a Jehovah witness but none of his disciples bothered to address Him once.


In pre- christian era, faith & obedience to Jehovah's righteous standard set apart (from their contemporaries) the men of faith as worshippers of Jehovah. They don't have to call themselves Jehovah's witnesses in order to prove that they were. Heb11:1-40.

Does FAITH and OBEDIENCE to Jehovah's righteous standard not found in your congregations today?

If yes! Then you don't need to call yourself a Jehovah witness since these people also DON'T NEED TO CALL THEMSELVES JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES in other to prove that they were.

But If No! Then you're not a true worshipper

OR BETTER PUT: Why are you going about proving to be a Jehovah witness after FAITH and OBEDIENCE has set you apart from contemporaries?

What of during Christ-era, why the disciples never be addressed as Jehovah witness?

I think they're not obedient and have faith...

Action speaks louder than words.

So you know action speaks louder than words YET YOU PEOPLE ARE GOING ABOUT SHOUTING I'M A JEHOVAH WITNESS. Hypocrite!

For the fact that Christ witnessed for Jehovah, he was a JW, that he didnt adopt the name, JW , doesn't prove otherwise.

Jesus couldn't ADOPT the name,
The disciples couldn't adopt the name,
The old prophets couldn't adopt the name
The early saints couldn't adopt the name
The saints of old couldn't adopt the name
Russell the founder of your organization couldn't adopt the name
BUT suddenly, Rutherford in 1931, can adopt it. isn't that a clear disobedient to God's righteousness and standard?

Yet you couldn't ask yourself this simple question, why all these people never ADOPT this name?

He made Jehovah's name known to his followers (John 17:25,26).He was a preacher of God's kingdom. That's what JWs do. Matt24:14, Mark 1:14,15. Luke 8:1.

Yet Jesus never addressed God as Jehovah for once.


If U are not preaching the gospel of the good news of God's kingdom,the work Jesus did, then U are off key & off point. U are not imitating Jesus.
The day would come ,he will say "I never knew you". Matt: 7:21-23

But are you imitating Jesus who never ADOPT Jehovah's witness as a name?
These are your remarks in case you forget:
1. because of FAITH and OBEDIENCE to Jehovah righteous standard the pre-era Christian doesn't need to use the name.
2. Early Christians were JW BUT you couldn't tell us why Watchtower or Awake couldn't address them as one

The true body of Christ all bear witness to the rising Lord Jesus but a particular group decided to isolate themselves by given themselves a name known as 'Jehovah Witness'

If you ask any of their members, why bearing witness to Jehovah and not Jesus Christ?

Their quick respond will be God says in Isa 43:10 that "you're my witness says Jehovah..." just as they explained it here under the topic: why are we called Jehovah witness?
Many people think that Jehovah’s Witnesses is the name of a new religion. However, over 2,700 years ago, the servants of the only true God were described as his “witnesses.” ( Isaiah 43:10-12 ) Until 1931, we were known as Bible Students. Why did we adopt the name Jehovah’s Witnesses? https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/jehovahs-will/why-called-jehovahs-witnesses/

Notice that it was said here that "...Over 2,700 years ago, the SERVANTS of the only true God we're described as his "WITNESSES"

Which means, the NAME Jehovah witness didn't start from them but originated from Bible.
NOTE: Originated here means they're not the first people to be called Jehovah witness but every Biblical Characters are all Jehovah witnesses. You can read that from the link!

Now, when reading Watchtower magazine and Awake publication of Jehovah witness. Whenever, there's a reference to old people especially the disciples of Jesus Christ and people who walked with the disciples. Their publications ALWAYS refer to them as 'EARLY CHRISTIANS'

My questions are:
1. If people are actually known in the Bible over 2,700 years ago as witnesses, why can't we find exert name as Jehovah witness directly applied to a person/group of people in the Bible?

2. Why does Watchtower and Awake always refer to the early people as 'EARLY CHRISTIANS' and not EARLY JEHOVAH WITNESS?

Jehovah witness as a religion, powered by watch tower, is Antichrist in their practice!. Let no one be deceived, that they preach the bible, though twisted, and they show signs of love and care, they are not Christians, neither do they truly believe in the real Jesus Christ!.

We must continue to evangelise them and pray that God will free the adherents from the high class brain washing of Watch Tower.

But they're the one and only group doing the WORK! James 2:26 undecided undecided undecided
