What does being a Jehovah Witness entail? And is there a place I can read about them unbiasedly?

Your first port of call should be JWFacts.com

Many people (me included) wish we’d visited that site before getting involved with the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/jehovah-witness-beliefs/



jw.org is the only official website of Jehovah's witnesses

it entails being an evangelist and not being able to marry someone who is not a witness

Anything you read on jw.org, compare and contrast with www.jwfacts.com. If you want to buy a car, it is better to hear from the manufacturers, people who have bought and used the car and people who no longer use it. Hear from all sides and decide.

Jw facts is a Sick place to Learn about witnesses , The moment I saw his Failed analysis on birthdays and how he skipped the topic of hellfire and immortal soul in his questionable doctrines , I knew that guy has nothing in his head when it comes to Biblical knowledge, he was probably scared of flopping big tyme. He is just an opposer , an opposer has nothing positive to say . ( Revelation 12:10 " accuser of our brothers " attitude ) , A wise person should only visit Jw.org for good information's . Well articulated and short

Really? Do you know what propaganda is?

Which propaganda? Are you okay?

Someone who says to condemn birthdays as wrong because some persons does it follows that dogs should be banned since it was portrayed in bad light in scripture, Unknown to him Job rear dogs , Whereas he can't present a single servant of God that celebrates birthday, so much for independent thinking .

Your scared pastor skipped the topic of hell and immortal soul completely , e dey fear ? . even claimed at the time of Jesus , the tetramagatton has been removed from scripture, Whereas the Jews never removed the name. He is only regurgitating what Jw critics say, ANYONE using that site for research is like asking the blind for way, He himself like I said is a pained Ex witness, angry and blind, So that enough ruled him out as an avenue to learn .

Please, accept Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour and attend a Bible believing church where Jesus is glorified. Jehovah witness are not Christians. They are wolves in sheep's clothing.

The explanation were to tell you nothing is propaganda about what I said. Follower of Paulgrundy . I guess you can't deny all have said.

Are you feeling guilty? I didn't say anything representing the idea that what you wrote were propaganda. In my place, they say that 'a sinner runs when no one is pursuing him'. I simply asked, do you know what propaganda is?

So I can say you know what propaganda is, yes?

They don't believe Jesus resurrected bodily from the dead. Romans 10:9-10 says you must believe that God raised Jesus from the dead to be saved. I don't have the time right now to include many other reasons. If you like join. You have be warned. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

Yes, hell is personified as a woman. I didn't say so, the Scripture did.

Isa 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged HERSELF , and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

They didn't ask what Jws believe but what it entails. As far as I know, there is no where in your website that describes that.

According to Romans 19:9,10 quoted by you, They believe God raise Jesus from the dead, Yes or no ?

Yes, hell is personified as a woman. I didn't say so, the Scripture did.

Isa 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged HERSELF , and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

Some translations say " IT " . so your postulation isn't sound. But how does hell enlarge itself without measure , if it has no measure or No boundary) is planet earth in hell ?

Hell is in the depth of the earth. As more people enter, the size is increased to accommodate them and people like you who do not believe it exist.

He did not see heaven. What he saw was Abraham's bosom which was underneath the earth also and separated from hell by a deep gulf. It was after Jesus resurrection the Saints in Abraham's bosom rose and went to heaven.

So does hell means Grave ?

As far as I know, what's beneath the land of the earth is WATER - Genesis 1:9

Ndi ara

Funny how you guys say the story of rich man and Lazarus is literal But try to render Abraham bosom non literal .

Hahahaha
Abraham Bosom, means literal chest of the person called Abraham , agree ?

Sarai said to Abram, "This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom " Genesis 16:5

This is the problem with Jehovah witnesses. They ascribe a meaning to a word and insist that that is what it means in all context.

Maybe you need to go back to school and study English. I mean a good school. Words in English can mean different things depending on the context it is used. In one context, it could be a noun. In another, it could be a verb. So, you need to understand the context under which a word is used and the part of speech to know its meaning. Please check your dictionary for confirmation. For the word bosom, look at the different context on online dictionary explains its meaning.

bosom (plural bosoms)

1.(anatomy) The breast or chest of a human (or sometimes of another animal). [from 11thc.] ▼ show
2.The seat of one's inner thoughts, feelings etc.; one's secret feelings; desire. [from 13thc.] ▼ show
3. The protected interior or inner part of something; the area enclosed as by an embrace. [from 15thc.] ▼ show
4. The part of a dress etc. covering the chest; a neckline. ▼ show
5. (in the plural) A woman's breasts. [from 20thc.] ▼ show
6. Any thing or place resembling the breast; a supporting surface; an inner recess; the interior.
7.A depression round the eye of a millstone.

I hope you have learnt an English lesson today. When you go to your study, teach your teacher what you just learned. It might help to address many other false teachings that have been established by this mistake of ascribing one meaning to a word that has multiple usages.

Jozzy4:


So does hell means Grave ?

As far as I know, what's beneath the land of the earth is WATER - Genesis 1:9

Just as what is above is clouds. But we also know that heaven is above.

Pro 15:24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

Hell is not physical grave. It is a place of torment. It is far deeper than a physical grave.

TruthinAction:


He did not see heaven. What he saw was Abraham's bosom which was underneath the earth also and separated from hell by a deep gulf. It was after Jesus resurrection the Saints in Abraham's bosom rose and went to heaven.

****King James Bible Luke16:22
And it came to pass, that the beggar died,
and was carried by the angels into
Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died,
and was buried;
** There are burning questions begging for answers....
Luke16:23 ,24
In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.
24 So he cried out,
‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and
send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in
water and cool my tongue. For I am in
agony in this fire.’
** Take note of the statement in v23...

you said that rich man and Lazarus were in the same location , you said "was underneath the earth,"
****1) why would the rich man look up and see from afar ,(he should have looked to his right or left side whether gulf dey or not),if actually Lazarus and Abraham's bosom were within his location ?

**2"the saints in Abraham's bosom rose and went to heaven" you said.
where is Abraham himself ,in hell or heaven?

*3) The angels carried Lazarus "into Abraham's bosom", where is Abraham's bosom, in heaven or hell?
So, Angels come to earth to do funeral for the begger, Lazarus ?


4) If all of them- (Abraham's bosom, rich man and Lazarus) dey hell " underneath the earth" (as you say ,also you say "hell no be physical grave ", na where Father Abraham go get water to cool the rich man tongue ?
