I think that's right. After all like they say, "You can't be more Catholic than the pope". In the same vein, Maximus and others can't be more JWs than the GB.

Hmm. This one is called in football parlance as "own goal". Quite an interesting one. Going by this admission by Watchtower itself, JWs is seeing that their signs and predictions is always frustrated and bring to nothing by God.

For example, this: So we may ask: Has Babylon and its system been destroyed? Is that system not waxing even stronger and stronger instead?

Whilst about one-third of the Bible is prophecy, however, there's no prophecy that details the "date" nor "hour" of the end of this present age. Instead, what is found in the scriptures are clues or signs suggesting that the end is near. Now, the big difference between the scriptures and JWs false predictions or prophecies is that the latter has repeatedly, actually, arrogantly churned out dates that major events like Jesus second coming and the end of this present age will take place, something that Jesus Himself said: He further added: We may ask again: From who is JWs getting their predictions from? Whose inspiration if not from the father of lies, who speaks his native language? (John 8:44). Why will Watchtower arrogate to itself the knowledge of which only the Almighty possessed?

So it is very clear that JWs by their own admission and clear scriptures, is not of God but a group founded by Charles Taze Russell to propagate his lies and penchant for false prophecies.

Own goal indeed grin

The funny part is that no need for too much stress arguing with JWs because they made the work so simple

Their publications argue for and against themselves grin

I so much love Islam not because i was born in the religion because it makes perfect sense to me while i was growing. No matter the situation i find myself as a teenager back then nothing can make me follow them to church because everything this people does irritates me.
©They can't worship in the same place.
©They're always disturbing both day and night
©They say their God is three in one and you must beleive (trust) such saying or you'll go to Hellfire.
And so many nonsense and ingredients.
So i was contented with Islam not until i began noticing contradictions in Islam as well! undecided
Then i want to know which of the various sects in Islam is practicing true Islam. I don't want to judge the Christians then cover the same thing in Islam. But to my shocking surprise Islam is even was!
Because there is no unique standard for morals as each person can just develop his own and what brings us all together is the five pillars. I concluded that the so called five pillars is just like the TRINITY in Christianity that brought different sects together under the same roof.

I began contemplating atheism but before i settled for ATHEISM i decided to talk to God on my own so one faithful day i prayed without using any name peculiar to any sect i just called God and said:

"i've heard from so many people that you're real and i want to believe so, but can you just give me a sign or just anything to prove that you're hearing me right now? I'll give you few days and if i find no response i'll believe you're just a myth"

And that was it.

The very next thing i keep seeing are JWs coming to disturb me even while i'm trying to quickly do chop and clean mouth for some yanriyan in my neighborhood!

This people kept coming even when i'm in my place of work where i sell things as a salesboy! undecided

I remember a day i was trying to remove the bra of a girl who was struggling with me saying we should wait until we're married before i can just lick her nipples, then there was a knock on my door!
I was so annoyed that i had to slam the door at the JW who wanted to start talking when i opened to see who the hell has come to disturb my hunting!

Then i told the girl to go but then she noticed a sudden change in my mood, now she's ready to give me all her body but the feelings is no more there. I drove her out of my room with anger and begin meditating what i should do to this so called JWs when they come around next time. But then i remembered my prayer! undecided
Because right from my birth till the day i prayed i never noticed this people. So i asked "God do this good for nothing people has anything to do with my last prayer" undecided

So i decided to listen when next they're around. When they came not more than five days later i never listened to all that the young lady was saying, i just go straight to my question. "Are we all worshiping the same God?" I noticed she hesitate to answer so i told her i'm not going to be annoyed all i want is the truth. Then she uttered for the first time since i was born that we are not worshiping the same God!

And that's it! One thing led to another and i began studying with them until i started changing little by little till i decided to become one of them! smiley


Whether Jesus is God or not doesn't matter as long as we all agree he is the SAVIOUR of mankind from eternal damnation.

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).

Yeap, also you found one and only group that can interpret the Bible grin

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 rich man (faithless religionists) begged father Abraham (God) to send Lazarus (JWs) to cool his thirst (yearning) with a drop of water with Lazarus's fingertips (response)
God (father Abraham) told the rich man (faithless religionists) that there is a great chasm (unimaginable difference) between them so no one (doctrines) can cross from one side to the other!

So between faithless religionists and JWs there will never be any agreement, hence they are always exited to hear something from JWs!

Today the world is filled with trouble to the extent that humans are no more safe in their own domain!
We have built houses and iron bars with high fences and iron gates, even the main entrance into our fine houses are made with steel not because we are caged by some higher powers or aliens from outer space, nor are we doing this to prevent wild beasts but because we're not safe in the hands of our neighbours that we're seeing everyday! embarassed
If we are to live in the forest away from neighbours that will put us at risk in the midst of wild beasts so we have to live in fear each day in the midst of our own race as in tribe but in fear! embarassed
We can't walk freely in the dark not because of some horrible looking ghost (demons) but out of fear for the same people we often see in the day. And now even during the day we're not safe in a quiet neighbourhood, if you are taking a walk in a quiet area you'll become suspicious of anyone approaching most especially a human like yourself (not even a beast) undecided
So we've gotten enough evidence that humans can't do without guidance from God! Jeremiah 10:23

Jehovah has set a date in His own jurisdiction to end all these because it doesn't glorify Him. Revelations 11:18

So how has He been rendering judgment in the past and where is the love in His judicial decisions?

Whoever does not love has not come to know God, because God is love. 1John 4:8

But this is the same God who destroyed millions of people in Noah's day with flood! embarassed

Is He the same person who destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire? undecided

Is He the same person who destroyed Pharaoh and his armies in the red sea? undecided

Is He that same person who destroyed some Israelites making the ground to swallow them? undecided

As errors of imperfect humans dealing with an invisible King. Even when this King was on this planet physically his closest confidants never understood everything he told them immediately, they needed time to meditate thoroughly on his teachings before they could get what exactly he's telling them.
So now that he has become an invisible spirit and his earthly representatives can't even see him face to face surely there must be some mistakes in the way they're trying to dispense the info he's passing through them.

But everyone will notice that there is a powerful spirit being organizing this people despite their errors they'll stick together in the same line of thought. Something really strange in the world we're living now! smiley

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 ).

Another Watch-tower contradiction!


Who is the Faithful and Discreet Slave, the Watchtower Organization, or Charles Taze Russell?

Claim one: Watchtower Organization is Faithful and Discreet Slave: “Jesus foretold that among his people there would be a “faithful and discreet slave” class who would be providing the spiritual food to God’s family of devoted servants on earth, acting as his channel of communication and overseeing the carrying out of the Kingdom interests worldwide. (Matt. 24:45-47) These anointed overseers serve as though being guided in their activities by the right hand of Christ,” (Watchtower, Jan. 15, 1969, p. 51).

Claim two: Russell is Faithful and Discreet Slave: “Thousands of the readers of Pastor Russell’s writings believe that he filled the office of ‘that faithful and wise servant,’ and that his great work was giving to the household of faith meat in due season. His modesty and humility precluded him from openly claiming this title, but he admitted as much in private conversation,” (Watchtower, Dec. 1, 1916, p. 357).

Claim 3 presented outright denial of Claim two: Watchtower Denies Russell ever claimed to be Faithful and Discreet Slave:
“From this, it is clearly seen that the editor and publisher of Zion’s Watch Tower disavowed any claim to being individual, in his person, that “faithful and wise servant.” He never did claim to be such,” (God’s Kingdom of a Thousand Years has Approached, 1973, p. 346).

How can any sane human put his or her salvation into the hands of ORGANISATION that lies so brazenly and repeatedly?

So in other words you're not here for the purpose of finding the group practicing true Christianity, what you're doing here is to condemn all organized worship hence it's not only JWs that you're against but all religious groups in general. Meaning God is incapable of organizing His true worshipers in an orderly manner.

Why do I need a GROUP when i can go down on my knees in prayer to My God and savior Jesus Christ!

I believe that Jesus died for my sins and through faith in the ransom sacrifice i am saved.

What else does it require?

Imagine JWs as-is is the only way to salvation it will be like asking me to climb the great wall when its obviously impossible to accomplish.

instead of derailing why not straighten this extract from watch-tower spiritual meal:

"The Watchtower is not the instrument of any man or set of men, nor is it published according to the whims of men. No man's opinion is expressed in The Watchtower. God feeds his own people, and surely God uses those who love and serve him according to his own will. Those who oppose The Watchtower are not capable of discerning the truth that God is giving to the children of his organization, and this is the very strongest proof that such opposers are not of God's organization." Watchtower 1931 Nov 1 p.327

"The brothers preparing these publications are not infallible. Their writings are not inspired as are those of Paul and the other Bible writers." Awake! 1993 Mar 22 p.4

Next topic is about the JUDGMENT!
Adam and Eve died but Satan the third culprit is still alive till today with many rebellious angels with him.
What will be their end and the end of all bad people that follows them? smiley

Satan and his demons are spirits so their life is not sustained by breathing unlike Adam and Eve whose continuous existence depends on the breath in them {Genesis 2:7 compare to Psalms 146:4} so this intelligent beings can't expire naturally, but will Jehovah allow them to continue existing?

Note that Jehovah doesn't destroy lives because he has the power to do so rather he lovingly delete unhappy persons because their continuous existence will not glorify Him regarding the purpose why He gave them life which is to be happy and appreciative!

So Satan and his demons are now eagerly waiting for their expiration but spitefully anticipating to see God destroy everything He made whether such creatures live their lives in a way that glorify God or not! undecided

All of them are tired of existing just like humans that have messed up their lives do contemplate suicide the same way Satan and his demons are longing for extermination but they're more vicious in knowing that after their destruction some creatures (especially humans) will live forever, this is what torments them each second no wonder God's word said about Satan:

Keep your senses, be watchful! Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone! 1Peter 5:8

So what is Jehovah's plan for all rebellious ones both human and spirits?

Jehovah only arranged (plan) towards the extermination of spirit beings who rebelled against Him. Before leaving Jehovah they were in search of a better satisfying life outside His loving arrangement but now they're seeing it with their own eyes that lesser intelligent beings (humans) have lived a satisfying life despite having to die. So these spirits now know for sure that many humans will live forever in happiness under God's arrangement, this is the greatest pain they're having now.

As their expiration date is getting ever closer they are becoming more and more vicious than ever. Of course they're working tirelessly to turn everyone against Jehovah that's why Jehovah is PLEADING with humans because we are not part of all these case, we only happened to be victims of the circumstances we find ourselves.

So Jehovah has made arrangements to rescue as many as possible and the arrangement is a global family of peace loving worshipers. All those subjecting themselves willingly to this arrangement will have their names written in the book of life. So when Satan, demons, death, grave, sickness, hunger, crime, natural disasters, fear of wild breasts, pain and sorrow becomes things people will only read about in books {Revelations 20:11-15} see you there in Paradise! Luke 23:43

God bless you and may you have PEACE!


Elder Max that's not the next question, the last time i checked you have not been able to reconcile the extract below from watch-tower spiritual meal:

"The Watchtower is not the instrument of any man or set of men, nor is it published according to the whims of men. No man's opinion is expressed in The Watchtower. God feeds his own people, and surely God uses those who love and serve him according to his own will.

"The brothers preparing these publications are not infallible. Their writings are not inspired as are those of Paul and the other Bible writers." Awake! 1993 Mar 22 p.4

Your problem is complicated becauce your heart is not pure! smiley
If truly you believe in God and Jesus, and you trust in God's ability to organize his worshipers then you should be concerned with the group practicing pure worship not some purposeless scrutiny.

In the first century the Jewish community were expecting the Messiah (Christ), prior to that time two Jewish zealots paraded themselves as the Messiah at different times before Jesus' birth but both of them happened to be impostors. So when Jesus came most Jews were questioning Jesus' credentials as the Christ while positive minded ones kept following him even though they don't have all the evidence to prove that Jesus is the Christ not until much later when God's promise about the sign the Jews will see after the New Covenant had been sealed! Act 2:16-18 compared to Joel 2:28-30
In all of these majority of the Jews were still scrutinizing Jesus' credentials without carefully meditating on the prophecies pointing to the Christ.

That's exactly what is happening today!
You may claim you believe in God and Christ but do you trust God's ability to fulfill his promises regarding how people during the endtime can recognize the group practicing true Christianity?

If all you're after is to prove that there is no organized people practicing true Christianity then your scrutiny will be endless but if you're interested in the features and believe God can't fail then you will easily find the true Christians! smiley

Do you avoid other people you always castigate in your publications?

You people will be dishing out different lies but when you are scrutinized you come up with different story of being victimized.

Anyways, still on the matter, can you help us reconcile these two statements from the stable of your darling organization?

"The Watchtower is not the instrument of any man or set of men, nor is it published according to the whims of men. No man's opinion is expressed in The Watchtower. God feeds his own people, and surely God uses those who love and serve him according to his own will. Those who oppose The Watchtower are not capable of discerning the truth that God is giving to the children of his organization, and this is the very strongest proof that such opposers are not of God's organization." Watchtower 1931 Nov 1 p.327

"The brothers preparing these publications are not infallible. Their writings are not inspired as are those of Paul and the other Bible writers." Awake! 1993 Mar 22 p.4

I asked you to tell us how your 8-man governing body sustained their expensive lifestyle and your response was for me to publish it. Does your response make sense to you?

My brother, from your responses it’s clear to a blind man that you do not want to engage in any discussions with these people but they all seem to be livid when they see you’re not shaken by their derogatory comments. Okay they said Watchtower is wrong, we have heard, can they face front and mind their business already? My brother let’s be thankful to Jehovah for the right to relative freedom of worship in this country because I’m sure if there wasn’t, these sort of people will fish us out in no time and lynch us just like that. lipsrsealed

Look who's talking about freedom of worship, another hypocritical talk as usual!

which Christian sect devote all their time in condemning others and even go as far as calling them apostates and mentally ill persons? grin

JWs are the most intolerant Christian sect, they don't pray with other christians, call them Harlots, they can go to peoples house and preach but will never open their doors for others, etc

If Watchtower governing body have the kind of power the Pope wields, they would probably shut other churches down by now!

Now GB have set up donate.jw.org to collect money and it has become difficult to come up with a defense seeing that they have spent all their time in the past condemning other churches for collecting money from members... grin
