Kayberg:Guy what founders of religion established can't be changed that's what it means to be the founder of something. Russell celebrated his birthday, Christmas, never preached from house to house and don't even know anything about the name Jehovah's Witnesses. So how can he be the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses organization? It's like saying John the baptist is the founder of Christianity because he started the group baptizing people, gathering disciples and Jesus himself went to John to be baptized. Ọmọ next time don't just swallow what people say hook line and sinker instead think deeply like an intelligent being. Charles Taze Russell was a researcher and his group discovered certain things about how the churches of Christendom went off course regarding faith in Christ Jesus but saying he founded the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses is a lie! |
Captain4Jehovah:Jesus' teaching sounds unhealthy to the people of his time till today his people (Jews) hate anything that has to do with him but one thing is certain Jesus is the Prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} so his real disciples will have love, joy and peace permeating their gathering. Therefore if you know any religion that's having LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, MILDNESS, FAITH and SELF-CONTROL {Galatians 5:22-23} permeating their gathering know today that there is no law against them. That's what Jehovah's Witnesses have successfully achieved globally among themselves! Captain4Jehovah:Jesus will take his Born Again brothers to heaven no eyes will see their movement because they will go like angels so it happened in the year 1914 and the rest of the numbers will join them later after they finish their earthly course. 1Thessalonians 4:16-17 Captain4Jehovah:The Jews were proud people there was peace they were the trouble makers kicking against what God has ordained because God's word said the nations will rule for seven times and in Jesus' days the time God gave the nations is still counting! Luke 21:28 Captain4Jehovah:The Beast is human government that's ruling forcefully over mankind with Satan backing them! 1John 5:19 Captain4Jehovah:It has begun and since 1914 things will continue to go worse among humankind! ![]() |
Captain4Jehovah:God bless you for the thought provoking questions so i will attend to these one by one! [1 - 3] Jesus took over power in heaven in the year 1914 and immediately he sent Satan out in preparation for his Born Again brothers to be taken home to a peaceful abode where they will rule with him over the earth that's why Satan and his demons faced the earth to cause trouble as they know that their time is now limited! Revelations 12:7-12 [4] There is no word like RAPTURE in the Bible but if you meant the taking away of Jesus' Born Again brothers from their graves, YES that happened in the year 1914. [5] The tribulations has begun since then that's why the earth no longer have peace until now. Revelations 12:7-12 [6] The beast is the United Nations. [7] They will announce one world government after agreeing to stop all religions. For now they're still under the manipulation of religious organizations telling them God is in support of their rival governments but by the time they realize that religions have been lying to them they will turn against religions and stop them all, that is when they will announce one world government and peace! 1Thessalonians 5:3 By that time the one and only religion that will not be affected by their troubles is the only true Christian organization who never participate in politics! |
Kingsempires:Thank you o! Just imagine what happened to Jesus' disciples in the first century: Jesus said to (Peter): “If it is my will for (John) to remain until I come, of what concern is that to you? You continue following me.” So the saying went out among the brothers that this disciple would not die. However, Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but he said: “If it is my will for him to remain until I come, of what concern is that to you?” John 21:22-23 Note the rumor that was going about in the first century even among Jesus' disciples, does that not tell you that there is a big difference between what is said and what people thought? ![]() |
johnw47:Jesus said: "Anyone believing in me will never die" John 11:26 Where are those believing in him back then? |
johnw47:Jwfacts belongs to the enemies of Jehovah's Witnesses it's like taking information from the Judaists to judge Jesus and his disciples instead of hearing from his disciples directly. For instance do you personally know anyone who is a reputable preacher on Jwfacts? Paul said: Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine. Abstain from every form of wickedness. 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 So try to verify everything not just swallowing everything from one source without listening to the other side. |
johnw47:Just as millions of Jews are saying Jesus is fake because they don't understand what he said! |
johnw47:So you are now saying what you thought Jesus should have said which could be translated in different ways based on the mindset of each listener or reader! |
johnw47:You're still laying accusations unverified! I have heard such allegations a thousand times while i was still studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses before becoming one of them. What i'm asking you is not how they were accused but to quote one of their publications in which it's written word for word e.g. On the 21th of November 2024 RAPTURE will take place! Or RAPTURE will happen on the 21th of November 2024! What i've noticed in people's version of what JWs said in their publications not exactly what they said which means it's what people thought they said not exactly what they said. For instance John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth both said in the first century: "Repent for God's Kingdom is at hand" Matthew 3:2; 4:17 Any listener could translate what they said as God's Kingdom will come in the next five to ten years. Jesus also told a disciple: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone who is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 Any listener can interpret this as Jesus saying all those believing in him that day will never die again! John 21:22-23 So try to quote what was written in their book word for word. Thank you in advance! ![]() |
Is the word RAPTURE mentioned anywhere in the Bible? |
Just as his utterances confused many even his disciples because they weren't perfect same is happening today but what Jesus promised that his disciples will achieve globally is noticeable throughout the earth today. Only faithful, humble and righteous people can grasp this! Zephaniah 2:2-3 |
johnw47:Quote a publication of JWs that mentioned a specific date and say RAPTURE will take place that day! |
johnw47:Did they have faith in Jesus that day? Are they still living today? ![]() |
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6 When certain Jewish men and women in the first century were referring to Jesus as (Lord) most people back then started criticizing them but today most of you that never seen Jesus before are also calling him "Lord" Can you say specifically what was in the minds of those calling Jesus "Lord" in the first century? Well if anyone is calling Olumba Lord or King today it simply means this person has performed some spiritual things in their lives so they choose to believe in him just as certain Jewish men and women did to Jesus in the first century. So what we should all figure out is the difference between those claiming Jesus is Lord back then and those claiming Olumba is king today each person has a reason for their beliefs in their hearts! ![]() |
Kingsempires:A million dollar question! ![]() |
johnw47:Can you quote any publication where God's people gave a specific date? Thanks in advance! |
johnw47:In the year 33 this is what happened: Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone who is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?" John 11:25-26 If Jesus in the year 33 could say the above and none of those who heard him and strongly believe in him are no more today please why criticize his group that's saying exactly the same thing in the year 1924? Surely most of you don't understand certain things but just arguing blindly because it's exactly what Jesus said in the year 33 that his group kept saying in the year 1924! |
Thugnificent:It's not you but God's word that says we are right: no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord. Isaiah 54:17 NIV No religion has that confidence like God's own chosen people: Jehovah's Witnesses the only true Christian organization. Let them come out and speak about how their church is PRACTICING WHAT JESUS TAUGHT! ![]() |
The power does not belong to Elijah but God's so it's God that will give it not Elijah that's why Elijah didn't do anything because he knew very well that such decision lies in God's hands not his! |
apitao:Videos are manipulated but when you explain what you understand others will get the sense of the message you're trying to pass so tell what you understand by the video! |
Dtruthspeaker: Dtruthspeaker:Please mention the name of your own church! ![]() |
Thugnificent:I have but you didn't grasp it. Why not ask member of any other religion to speak for their religion i'm sure you will know what it means to be a Christian a believer who speaks confidently about his faith without mixing words. Only Jehovah's Witnesses are worshiping the true God! ![]() |
Thugnificent:Because such teachings are false and useless! ![]() |
Thugnificent:Well the Bible God promised that in the end time there will be spiritual famine affecting the whole earth {Amos 8:11} so confusion about the knowledge of God will be everywhere on the planet {Hosea 4:6} but at the same time some will spare their time talking with their neighbors about God and God will command His angels to pen down their names {Malachi 3:16} and the whole earth will be shakened as these people will connect themselves globally and began using what they found in the Bible to teach one another {Isaiah 2:2-3 compare to Micah 4:1-2} the result of their Bible study will shock you! ![]() |
Thugnificent:There is only one true religion that is why Jesus of Nazareth told his disciples: "But you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Ju·deʹa and Sa·marʹi·a, and to the most distant part of the earth.” Act 1:8 Today Satan has initiated several religions and they are all claiming Christians to confuse any interested person who wants to know about God and Jesus this Satan began working out since the resurrection of Jesus {Matthew 13:25} that's why you have countless religions with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all claiming Christians but in the year 1914 Jesus returned as a mighty spirit king and began restructuring his group once again and in the year 1931 God started calling them by another group name {Isaiah 65:15} to separate them from all other religions claiming Christians! Revelations 18:4 That group name is JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES. Apart from this group no other religion could boldly speak convincingly like Jesus taught his disciples to go confidently and meet people in their homes! Matthew 10:11-13; 28:18-20 |
Thugnificent:God's Kingdom! That is the message of the Bible from Genesis to Revelations. God arranged that we have this book by introducing Himself to help mankind know: How we got here. Why we are here or the purpose of life. Why we grow old, get sick and die. Why hardship. Why wars when everyone appreciates peace. Why God permitted evil if He is all powerful. Who are the gods people knew before God introduced Himself to Abraham. All these questions are tied to one message: God's right to rule mankind that's why the Bible is all about God's Kingdom. Matthew 3:2: 4:17 |
Thugnificent:YES! I joined them after knowing this truth! John 8:32 |

They often say God's modern day worshipers are false prophets because they keep on doing what John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth did during their lifetime. John and Jesus said some 2,000 years ago: "Repent for God's Kingdom is at hand" [Matthew 3:2; 4:17} what is the meaning of "at hand"? If John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth could say God's Kingdom is at hand or will soon be here should we consider the both of them to be FALSE PROPHETS since it's been 2,000 years now and still counting or we need to figure out what they meant by that statement? ![]() |
History has nothing to do with your salvation rather your salvation hings on what you choose to do after knowing the truth about Christ and his kingdom, no matter where you come from or your former beliefs what matters to God is how you respond to the truth you heard. The Catholic Church is the oldest religion among those claiming Christians today the only problem is that they refused to make changes after being shown their errors instead they were killing anyone who speaks the truth back then until America declared freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom of worship before then whoever speaks against the church will be executed and if any group or city tries to protect such a person that city will be destroyed this is what the Catholics called CRUSADE during the dark ages. So there are many false teachings in Catholic Church and since the church fathers refused to welcome corrections protests began which led to the birth of several religions today all of them claiming Christians that's why the Catholics refers to other churches as Protestants. Christ has returned in the year 1914 and his blessing is upon a group that welcomed all the corrections he brought today they are known globally as Jehovah's Witnesses and yes most people hate them just as Jesus foretold about his true followers {Matthew 24:9} even though many can't say exactly why they hate Jehovah's Witnesses but we know the reason behind such hatred so we keep praying for them! Luke 6:27-28

Thugnificent:It's Satanic teaching ironically most religions in the world today teaches it but the Bible God made it clear that such a thing has never come into His heart: "They have built the high places of Toʹpheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinʹnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, something that I had not commanded and that had never even come into my heart." Jeremiah 7:31 God knew very well that wickedness sprang due to hardship and suffering most people are doing evil things due to circumstances beyond their control so once humans die what God said is that all their evil deeds die with them {Romans 6:7} there is no sense in bringing them back for their wrong deeds {Psalms 9:17} after all they have gotten what they deserve which is death {Romans 6:23} the benefit God has in stock for those who serve Him faithfully (righteous people) and those who lived based on what their conscience permitted them to do (unrighteous people) is resurrection {Act 24:15} by the time all these people are brought back to life Satan would have been locked up or rendered inactive {Revelations 20:1-3} so there will be a righteous government globally and everyone living will enjoy life to the fullest within a thousand years under the government that's controlled by Jesus from heaven {Revelations 20:4-6} it's at that time those who formally lived by their God's given conscience will be opportuned to learn about Jesus and his government then whoever objects to the government of Jesus by then will die no longer because of oldage or sickness but because of what they choose to do after God has shown them mercy {Revelations 20:11-13} then there will be no reason for anyone to die or buried again {Revelations 20:14} and whoever refused to be under Christ's teachings will also perish along with all the evil things like death and burials before God declares everlasting life for all survivors! Revelations 21:3-5 So God never intended to roast living people simply because they failed to do what is right rather they won't have the privilege of living forever! John 3:16 |
They have restored the Kingdom preaching in which believers must visit people in their neighborhood to discuss what Jesus taught from house to house and door to door! |
