“Jehovah God is the Grand Identifier of his true messengers. He identifies them by making the messages he delivers through them come true. Jehovah is also the Great Exposer of false messengers. How does he expose them? He frustrates their signs and predictions. In this way he shows that they are self-appointed prognosticators, whose messages really spring from their own false reasoning – yes, their own fleshly thinking!” (Watchtower, 1997 May 1, pg. 8 ).

the above is the absolute truth from one and only governing body of jevhovah's witnesses grin

go read your Bible.

Even let's look at it from science perspective as you know it. Let's narrow it down to just our solar system. As vast as it is, earth is just a dot. Look at mars our closest neighbor. It's a vast wasteland. Nothing existing on it. Perhaps there was once a time it was timing with life.

Just looking at it from science perspective, the universe is to organised and vast for it to exist without a creator. and from the way the earth is arranged, it's a miracle earth is still existing as we know it. It can end.

The bible says it will end, the prophets of old said so even before they knew that there were other planets.

The signs of the times have been given and it is all before our eyes. It's either you ignore it or you take it.

This earth has an owner and He says he is coming back soon and He will. You better be prepared

look at the picture attached carefully. That small pale dot you see there, that's the earth. Everything you have ever known all your life, is in that small dot

Look who's complaining about hypocrisy grin

Kettle calling pot black grin

Actually other churches are learning hypocrisy from JWs as can be seen below:

Watchtower claims to be the only organization to find scriptural guidance yet condemns the Vatican for doing the same thing.

Watchtower is the only organization able to interpret the Bible:

“We all need help to understand the Bible, and we cannot find the Scriptural guidance we need outside the ‘faithful and discreet slave’ organization,'” (Watchtower, Feb. 15, 1981)

The Vatican is the only organization able to interpret the Bible:

“The Vatican belittles Bible study by claiming it is the only organization authorized and qualified to interpret the Bible,” (Watchtower, July 1, 1943, p. 201).

Our next topic of discussion is ready!

The sower in the Matthew 13 parable is Satan or Jesus?

Let's see what Watct tower have to say below:

Claim one: The sower of the mustard seed is Satan

“It is the fake ‘kingdom of the heavens,’ the counterfeit, namely, Christendom, that is filled with these symbolic birds, ‘the sons of the wicked one.’ Today it is big enough to hold them all. In the parable, the ‘man’ that sowed the mustard grain pictures the ‘wicked one,’ Satan the Devil. Outstandingly in the fourth century C.E. Satan the Devil planted or specially cultivated this symbolic ‘mustard grain’ of contaminated, adulterated, imitation Christianity,” (Man’s Salvation Out Of World Distress, 1975, p. 208).


Claim two: The sower of the mustard seed is Jesus


“In the days of Jesus Christ and his apostles, the nation of Israel was just as apostate as in the days of Jeremiah and Hosea. In fact, it was the generation of Israel that brought about the death of Jesus the Messiah and that persecuted his apostles and first-century disciples. Such Israelites especially were the ones to whom Jesus, as well as Isaiah, referred as having their eyes plastered shut, their ears unresponsive, and their hearts unreceptive so that there was no spiritual healing for them. (Isa. 6:9, 10; Matt. 13:13-15; Acts 28:24-28) Hence that apostate generation suffered national calamity in 70 C.E. So, now, does anyone ask the question, How could Jesus as the Sower of the parable plant the symbolic mustard grain and yet have it become a tree of a foreign kind, the corrupt counterfeit called Christendom? The experience of Jehovah God with the ancient nation of Israel gives the divine answer to such a questioner!” (Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1975, p. 600).

How can anyone trust an organisation that speaks from both sides of the mouth?

Let's discus house....

MaxInDHouse:
So when America declared freedom of worship the door was opened for researchers to find out why are all the promises of God in connection with the Holy Spirit is not evident in Christianity? That's how many religious sects began and spreading throughout the earth otherwise none of you people today can be a Christian unless you're a member of the few religious sects claiming Christians back then!

The religious sects springing from place to place weren't after what Jesus promised rather all what majority of them wanted is to gain prominence by multiplying centers of worship and increasing members. The command given to Jesus' disciples to go out preaching and teaching in their neighbourhood wasn't emphasized so the LOVE, JOY and PEACE that's supposed to serve as mark of true Christianity is still missing! undecided

That's why Jehovah's Witnesses kept working round the clock to find out how the qualities of God's Holy Spirit will be restored back in our midst. Most people noticed that we often make amendments in our views of things, many takes offences saying "they can't claim they have holy spirit and always changing their beliefs" but we see the changes as corrections that Jesus his using God's holy spirit to make in our gathering.

So far so good the one and only group on this planet having the nine qualities of God's Holy Spirit permeating their gathering is JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Galatians 5:22-23
One thing most people don't understand about Paul's letter to the Christians in Galatia is how he listed all the works of the flesh that God will not permit in His Kingdom {Galatians 5:19-21} but since we are flesh there is no gathering of people where you will not find the works of the flesh in each member, even Paul himself said he has the ones he was battling with throughout his life {Romans 7:17-24} so no human can break free completely from the works of the flesh, we will continue to fight it until God's Kingdom come to assist us.

But then how can we RECOGNIZE the gathering of true Christians if the works of the flesh can't be totally blotted out?
Well God's Holy Spirit will be working in the midst of humble and faithful people who are prepared to make amendments in their lives so if you carefully observe each of them you will notice the work of flesh each of them is battling but as a group you will SEE LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL permeating the gathering of God's people! Galatians 5:22-23

This are the qualities everyone around the world including you can SEE in our gathering {Matthew 5:13-16} before you start wondering why are they trying to separate themselves from others? Why are they not proud to be called Christians but Jehovah's Witnesses? Why aren't they moved by music that all of us considered as gospel (spirit filled) songs?

Well it's because we are no part of you people {John 15:19} as for what we see as righteous and unrighteous please do not bother yourself because our own righteousness is from our own God {Isaiah 54:17} the music you people called gospel can't go in line with our faith so we prefer secular music for entertainment but if we want to be in the spirit we have our own spirit filled songs composed by born again Christians in our midst.

Thank you and may you have PEACE! smiley

I noticed that the jehova witnesses around me usually feel uncomfortable when a christian song is been played but they are quick to dance and sing along to secular (even ungodly ) songs.
They seems not to like hearing a christian sermon but would prefer to listen to sermons from other faith (islam)

Now the question is - why do these people react this way but chose to be more positive to unchristian subject rather than christian subject of which they are already familiar with.
It is also a wonder that these people Chosed not to be identified as Christians (please if I'm wrong with this assertions you can correct me)
I think these organizations need to be studied very well to see why they Chosed to be the way they are (their doctrines, and differences in scriptures)

If you know anything about this group called jehova witnesses, or had experienced some of their reactions, please share so that the church and general public can know more about them and their believes without castigsting anyone.

Good question grin

Please Sir, after the last encounter i don't want to get involved with you in any discussion.

But as for what Jesus said regarding allowing both true Christians and false Christians to get to work so that the result of their works will prove if they truly belongs to him is perceived in his illustration of the fine seed (planted by Jesus) and the weeds (planted by the devil) you can read Matthew 13:24-30, 36-40


Even watchtower is confused about who the sower of the mustard seed truly is.

See below contradiction claims by watchtower:

The sower in the Matthew 13 parable is Satan or Jesus?

“It is the fake ‘kingdom of the heavens,’ the counterfeit, namely, Christendom, that is filled with these symbolic birds, ‘the sons of the wicked one.’ Today it is big enough to hold them all.

Jesus said we should not judge because the same kind of judgment you render is what you will get in return! Matthew 7:1

The judgment Jesus meant here when you're against your fellow believer with whom you share the same line of thought but due to his/her shortcomings you are castigating him. All of us have shortcomings so it's totally wrong to start castigating your fellow believers over their shortcomings. Luke 18:10-14

But in this case we are talking about a whole assembly of worshipers claiming they belong to the same God with another assembly of religionists while their doctrines and teachings is totally conflicting! John 4:20-22

Jesus gave us marks of identification to know the true Christian assembly today so if you're interested we can consider those marks then you can now figure out the rest on your own! smiley

It's well documented that JWs have made many predictions that fail to come to pass, for example they said amageddom will happen in 1975 but the year came and nothing happened!

Now see below what watchtower have to say about false predictions:

“Jehovah God is the Grand Identifier of his true messengers. He identifies them by making the messages he delivers through them come true. Jehovah is also the Great Exposer of false messengers. How does he expose them? He frustrates their signs and predictions. In this way he shows that they are self-appointed prognosticators, whose messages really spring from their own false reasoning – yes, their own fleshly thinking!” (Watchtower, 1997 May 1, pg. 8 ).

In light of the above quote from Watch Tower, putting into consideration of all predictions made by Watch-tower that have failed to come to pass do you think they are true messengers of Jehovah?

MaxInDHouse:


I would have pretended i never saw your post had it been you never mentioned the name of that man called "Jesus"
Most of you people already had preconceived thought on matters before bringing it to the public so opinions are irrelevant as long as it doesn't go down well with what you've already concluded in your mind.

According to Jesus of Nazareth the religion you practice MATTERS A LOT and it will play a vital role in your SALVATION!

Now let's try to read Jesus' mind on the topic by meditating on his words. Remember he said whoever listens to his words and took no action on it is like someone building his house on sandy soil! Matthew 7:24-27

These are the WORDS Jesus spoke himself regarding the topic of discussion:

Before Jesus' arrival on planet earth the one and only nation God was dealing with directly with regards to salvation is Israel. So whatever religion you practice aside from what God stated for this people is worthless before the true God. Now the same Israelites had issues within them and they divided ten out of twelve separated themselves as the northern Israel known as Samaritans in Jesus' days while the remaining three tribes (including Levites) were in the south known as Jews. So there was an ongoing contention between the two nations, the Samaritans believed that since they're also Israelites (descendants of Jacob) God approves their worship but the Jews kept insisting that any form of worship aside from what involves the Levitical priesthood is Idolatry.
This contention lasted for centuries and the Jews despices the Samaritans for this reason.

Now what did Jesus have to say on the matter?

Well a certain Samaritan woman was curious so she kept nursing this thing deeply in her heart until one day that she's so fortunate to meet the promised Messiah (Christ) one on one at Jacob's well! undecided

So after perceiving that Jesus is a prophet of God she threw the question bothering her mind for years at Jesus:

The woman said to (Jesus): “Sir, I see that you are a prophet. Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where people must worship.”  Jesus said to her: “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews! John 4:19-22

This was Jesus himself declaring that God has always had a choice in the form of worship we engage in! Genesis 4:3-5
Even Jesus when he walked the earth shows that he is selective when it comes to the matter of salvation:

These 12 Jesus sent out, giving them these instructions: “Do not go off into the road of the nations, and do not enter any Sa·marʹi·tan city; but instead, go continually to the lost sheep of the house of Israel! Matthew 10:5-6

He answered: “I was not sent to anyone except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 15:25

Time and time again Jesus demonstrated that the person that sent him had a particular people in mind in respect to salvation!

The woman was a Greek, a Sy·ro·phoe·niʹcian by nationality; and she kept asking him to expel the demon from her daughter. But he said to her: “First let the children be satisfied, for it is not right to take the bread of the children and throw it to the little dogs.” Mark 7:26-27

In all of these Jesus proved again and again that there's a form of worship that you must engage in before God recognizes you as part of His own people! John 4:24

So don't deceive yourself thinking salvation could be found in any form of worship, you must belong to a certain group of people and practice the same sacred service with them before you can be saved! John 3:16; 17:3

May you have PEACE! smiley








This confusion is made by so call true religion that MaxInDHouse belongs to:

But if anyone is going to argue it they better do it right without speaking from both sides of their mouth like watch-tower did below:


Is Jesus supposed to be worshipped or not?

Yes, Jesus is supposed to be worshipped:

Question : The fact that our Lord received worship is claimed by some to be an evidence that while on earth he was God the Father disguised in a body of flesh and not really a man. Was he really worshiped, or is the translation faulty?

Answer: Yes, we believe our Lord Jesus while on earth was really worshiped, and properly so . . . It was proper for our Lord to receive worship in view of his having been the only begotten of the Father, and his agent in the creation of all things, including man,” (Watchtower, July 15, 1898, p. 216).

“For example, to which one of the angels did he ever say: ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father’? And again: ‘I shall be a Father to him, and he will be a Son to me’? But when he again brings his Firstborn into the inhabited earth, he says: ‘And let all God’s angels worship him,'” (New Heavens and a New Earth, 1953, p. 27-28).

No, Jesus is not supposed to be worshipped:

“He taught men, not to worship him, but to worship Jehovah his Father . . . ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God,'” (Make Sure of All Things, p. 283).

“What I learned was so different from what I had heard at the “Christian” school I had attended. Jehovah’s Witnesses do not worship Jesus. Rather, they worship Almighty God, the One that Jesus himself worshipped,” (Awake, Dec. 22, 1987, p. 22).

The truth is there is just one group of true Christians today on earth just as it was in the first century. Satan only created false religion and multiplied them into so many sects all claiming Christians. 2Corinthians 11:12-14

The true Christians surely have LOVE, JOY and PEACE permeating their gathering, it's Satan's agents disguising as worshipers of God that can't produce the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit! Matthew 7:16-18 compare to Galatians 5:22-23

True believers grin

“Jehovah God is the Grand Identifier of his true messengers. He identifies them by making the messages he delivers through them come true. Jehovah is also the Great Exposer of false messengers. How does he expose them? He frustrates their signs and predictions. In this way he shows that they are self-appointed prognosticators, whose messages really spring from their own false reasoning – yes, their own fleshly thinking!” (Watchtower, 1997 May 1, pg. 8 ).

Whenever faithless people want to antagonize true believers they'll want to place their credulous thoughts on the sure foundation of FAITH!

I'm using this medium to invite all critics to come and show me how they can build FAITH in the heart of someone who never had of books about God.

Nothing like Adam to Jesus in his/her brains yet he must be saved according to God's word (Bible) let's see how far you people can go when it comes to real evangelizing work!

Meanwhile i have been to different places here in Nigeria with JWs and they were able to preach and teach the people who never had anything about Jesus nor Muhammad. Yet when we were about to leave the place come and see gifts these people brought with tears as if we shouldn't leave them again all because of the Good News about God's kingdom.

So let's hear you people talk to someone who never heard of the Bible or Qur'an before! smiley

Anyone thinking this is made to discredit JWs should confirm from the link to their online library

Good!

Sorry that i placed your conviction one after the other, so prepare your mind ready for thought provoking questions on the highlighted because that's our difference now!

I don't believe Muhammad has anything to do with the true God and you also don't believe Jesus' death makes any sense regarding salvation.

So both of us must calmly reason deeply on the two, no need to be biased because neither Jesus nor Muhammad is our family they're both from the East! smiley







Except you are behind this moniker, there's no way after seeing all watch-tower errors for any sane human to agree to give his life to Governing Body instead of Jesus grin
