false jw say that Jesus returned in 1914

Watchtower:
"The year 1914, therefore, marks the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of glory." Watchtower 1933 Dec 1 p.362



Yet Jesus judgments haven't yet taken place which Jesus said would happen at His second coming


Rev 22:11  He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 
Rev_22:12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Rev_20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire
Rev_21:8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death

The World never got their reward in 1914, whether good or bad.

Rev 1:7  Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Everyone will see Jesus when He returns, He does not come invisibly
as false jw said He did in 1914

Mat_24:27  For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

verse 12, Jesus comes quickly,
verse 27, Jesus comes like lightning

to give every man his reward according to their work,
to those who had faith in Him, bodily redemption
and to those who denied Him, destruction.

false jw say the Word Jesus Christ is not God, the Holy Spirit is not God


Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 
Gen 1:2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Psa 33:6  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Joh 1:3  All things were made by him(the Word); and without him(the Word) was not any thing made that was made.


God created = the Spirit of God moved = by the word of the LORD = by His breath(Spirit) = him(the Word)
The Word of God is the Spirit of God, He is the Holy Spirit

God(Father and Son) is a Spirit
Joh_4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

God and the Word is the Holy Spirit
Joh_14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.


God and the Word is God

false jw don't believe that Jesus Christ was physically resurrected

Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved

faslse jw do not believe that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, they are not saved

what can be raised other than the body, not the spirit, the spirit does not go to the grave but goes back to God who gave it.

Ecc_12:7  Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Ecc 3:21  Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

false jw deny that Jesus was raised from the dead, even though only the body can die, and be raised from the grave back to life
false jw deny the Lord Jesus Christ on many matters and are of course antichrist

How does one find "loyalty without Jesus?
[quote author=ChristianFreedo post=51684996]2016 "REMAIN LOYAL TO JEHOVAH" REGIONAL CONVENTION OF JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES

I just returned from the 3 days’ Regional convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses, titled, “Remain Loyal to Jehovah”. It was as expected. Talks, videos, demonstrations, interviews and experiences about loyalty,loyalty to Jehovah, the organization, the faithful and discrete slave and our brothers. But I can’t really remember talks about loyalty to Jesus and his teachings, I stand corrected, but they were much talks about loyalty to the faithful and discreet slave, which is the governing body and it's teaching.
There were examples of those who were loyal in bible times and those who were not loyal. Videos were played and replayed, it lived up to my expectations. At the end, my resolved was strengthen, to be more loyal to Jehovah, Jesus, my fellow Christians and to the truth (as can be found in the bible).


However, after all is said and done, the whole essence of the “Remain Loyal to Jehovah” convention come down to this and this alone. Be loyal/remain loyal to the organization of Jehovah’s witnesses or you are not loyal to Jehovah.

How so?

The bottom line is these, if you are a Christian and not a Jehovah’s witness, then you are not loyal to Jehovah neither are you serving him. Period!

No matter how sincere and genuine your worship to God is, no matter how morally clean and righteous you are, no matter how good you are, no matter how kind and loving you are and even if you preach daily to people about repentance toward God and faith in our lord Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21), no matter the Christ-like love you show and no matter how many pages of the holy scriptures you cover, no matter how morally upright you are and no matter how many prayers you offer to God and how sincere there are, as long as you are not a member of the Jehovah’s witnesses organization, you are not worshiping God and cannot be said to be loyal to Jehovah and can never survive into God’s new world. That is all, the whole essence of the convention.

false jw don't watch for Jesus Christ's return

false jw of course do not watch for Jesus Christ's return as we are told to,
false jw say He has already returned way back in 1914

when Jesus comes every eye will see Him coming in the clouds:

Rev_1:7  Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

false jw lie and say He came invisibly

Jesus Himself told us to watch for Him:

Mat_24:42  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Mat_25:13  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh

Mar_13:35  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

Mar_13:37  And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Christians that are watching for the Lord will escape all the end time wrath coming on this world,
and will stand before the Lord Jesus Christ:

Luk_21:36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

1Th_5:6  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

Rev_3:3  Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

verse 3, God(the Word) said

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God. 
Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Exo 20:11  For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Psa 33:6  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Psa 104:30  Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

John: the Word made everything that was made
Exodus: YAHWEH made heaven and earth the sea and all in them
Psalm 33:6, all the host of the heavens were made by the word of the Lord, by His Holy Spirit
Psalm 104:30, God send forth His Holy Spirit and they are created



The Spirit of God is the Holy Spirit of God, duh:

Act_2:4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Rom_8:9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
^^^
The Spirit of God dwells in you, the Holy Spirit dwells in you
notice also that the Spirit of God is the Spirit of Christ

Rom_8:11  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
^^^
You see there also, that our bodies will be raised and made alive just as Jesus body was raised and made alive(quickened), false jw say Jesus body was not resurrected, they as good as call God a liar all through the Bible

1Co_12:3  Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

of course the Spirit of God is the Holy Spirit, double duh

Try telling this to a JW-these scriptures are not even found in their bible, nor their magazines.
Judgement is now.
Believers all over the world from different denominations are being taught the wrong information-many have taken the wrong path-not listening to Jesus-but men without the Spirit of God, that preach the gospel-but their hearts are far from Him.
The end time Churches are on the raise, a New World Order had began-Non Denominational believers claiming they are Christian from religion, to cults are joining together, not in unity, not in one accord.
Claiming to know Jesus, but their hearts are far from Him-these are the day's "brother-when people from all walks of life will turn against the truth.

Jehovah's Witnesses Question: "Who are the Jehovah's Witnesses and what are their beliefs?"

Answer: The sect known today as the Jehovah's Witnesses started out in Pennsylvania in 1870 as a Bible class led by Charles Taze Russell. Russell named his group the “Millennial Dawn Bible Study.” Charles T. Russell began writing a series of books he called “The Millennial Dawn,” which stretched to six volumes before his death and contained much of the theology Jehovah’s Witnesses now hold. After Russell's death in 1916, Judge J. F. Rutherford, Russell's friend and successor, wrote the seventh and final volume of the “Millennial Dawn” series, “The Finished Mystery,” in 1917. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society was founded in 1886 and quickly became the vehicle through which the “Millennial Dawn” movement began distributing their views to others. The group was known as the “Russellites” until 1931 when, due to a split in the organization, it was renamed the “Jehovah’s Witnesses.” The group from which it split became known as the “Bible students.”

What do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe? Close scrutiny of their doctrinal position on such subjects as the deity of Christ, salvation, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, and the atonement shows beyond a doubt that they do not hold to orthodox Christian positions on these subjects. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe Jesus is Michael the archangel, the highest created being. This contradicts many Scriptures which clearly declare Jesus to be God (John 1:1,14, 8:58, 10:30). Jehovah’s Witnesses believe salvation is obtained by a combination of faith, good works, and obedience. This contradicts countless scriptures which declare salvation to be received by grace through faith (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5). Jehovah’s Witnesses reject the Trinity, believing Jesus to be a created being and the Holy Spirit to essentially be the inanimate power of God. Jehovah’s Witnesses reject the concept of Christ’s substitutionary atonement and instead hold to a ransom theory, that Jesus’ death was a ransom payment for Adam’s sin.

How do the Jehovah’s Witnesses justify these unbiblical doctrines? First, they claim that the church has corrupted the Bible over the centuries; thus, they have re-translated the Bible into what they call the New World Translation. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society altered the text of the Bible to make it fit their false doctrine, rather than basing their doctrine on what the Bible actually teaches. The New World Translation has gone through numerous editions, as the Jehovah’s Witnesses discover more and more Scriptures that contradict their doctrines.

The Watchtower bases its beliefs and doctrines on the original and expanded teachings of Charles Taze Russell, Judge Joseph Franklin Rutherford, and their successors. The governing body of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is the only body in the cult that claims authority to interpret Scripture. In other words, what the governing body says concerning any scriptural passage is viewed as the last word, and independent thinking is strongly discouraged. This is in direct opposition to Paul's admonition to Timothy (and to us as well) to study to be approved by God, so that we need not be ashamed as we correctly handle the Word of God. This admonition, found in 2 Timothy 2:15, is a clear instruction from God to each of His children to be like the Berean Christians, who searched the Scriptures daily to see if the things they were being taught lined up with the Word.

There is probably no religious group that is more faithful than the Jehovah’s Witnesses at getting their message out. Unfortunately, the message is full of distortions, deceptions, and false doctrine. May God open the eyes of the Jehovah’s Witnesses to the truth of the gospel and the true teaching of God’s Word.

Got questions is great..I find it helpful at times-they are excellent scholars at work.
The JW's are resting, I haven't heard much of them at all-on any page-Dolphinheart come out come out wherever you are?
This may sound to far fetch but maybe they finally came to their senses, and finally they found the truth in Christ?

yea, carm dot org is good as well, they say what the Bible clearly says

it's amazing how sectarians interperit the Bible to suit their doctrines
rather than the other way around, getting their doctrines from the Bible,
and even after that they believe they are in the truth

but here is another Bible verse that explains it without changing anything;

2Co_4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

they don't want the truth they want what sounds good to them from their teachers

2Ti_4:3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

they, and not just false jw, have men as their teachers, rather than the Holy Spirit and the unpolluted Bible
their beliefs are formulated for them

true Christian teachers, teach from God's word
sectarian false jw teachers, teach from their man made doctrines
with twisting and changing the Bible to make it line up

they also wrongly believe that they will be saved, partly by their works,
truly their satanic works are sending them to the Lake of Fire

That is true-the elders told them to get off line-only because like Dolphinheart they were slipping, they were loosing quite a few of their new followers, which of course confusion doesn't come from the Lord, and the JW's couldn't come up with the answers.
So thanks to God.
Thanks to you and Solite3-lets try and work together on another site, I will look out for you both. Its good to see such talent between four-you, solite, me, and God..

More facts people should know about the antichrist jehovahs witnesses sect.

false jw lied and said: 1925 - "Millions Now Living Will Never Die"

"Millions now living will never die!" was exclaimed by Rutherford in a series of public lectures starting 1918. This was related to his prophecy that the earthly resurrection would commence 1925, with the return to life of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and became the focus of the preaching work in the following years.

article: http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/1925.php

Mat_7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Joh_8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

those and many other scriptures describes pharisee false jw so well
