which jew is still living from that time till now?
Is there anyone on earth that is born with knowledge?
The same way the Jews acquire knowledge of their past, that's how everyone else does.

They too can acquire knowledge of the African history. Who is stopping them not to?
A man of flesh and blood
A man who said he's not good, but only God is good.
if God appear as a man and doesn't want some people (eg The Pharisees) to know that he is God. Common sense will expect him to say he is not good. But meanwhile, before other people (,eg His disciples) that he want them to believe, he will do good things for them to see and believe.

This is exactly what happened
A man who felt forsaken by God on the so-called cross...
yet, God did not forsake him.
At the end, you Jehovah witnesses are dumbfounded
Una need brain check I swear...
if you commit this fallacy again, I will knock you out. grin

Present your argument clean and defend your opinion amicably and reasonably or don't even comment at all
I will not warn you again cheesy

On the contrary JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES is the name the only true God gave His worshipers after separating faithless people from among His faithful servants.

You will leave behind a name that my chosen ones will use as a curse, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will put each of you to death, But his own servants he will call by another name. Isaiah 65:15

The name false religionists and pagans took is Christians thinking that is the name God wants His worshipers to be called but you have all lost it because there are worshipers of God before the time of Jesus and they are not Christians and for your information the name "CHRISTIANS" was given to Jesus' first century disciples in a city called Antioch {Act 11:26} before then followers of Christ were first called "disciples of the Nazarene", later they began calling them "people belonging to the Way" and finally they were called CHRISTIANS.

Even though they knew this people were really devoted and ready to practice the things Jesus taught them yet they were using all these names to mock them but the disciples of Christ welcomed it all as they were ready to be counted unworthy of honor along with their leader.

So continue deceiving yourself because that group name "CHRISTIANS" has been bastardized today with so many atrocities committed in that group name that is why if i should ask you now to tell us on this forum the name of the church where you worship as a Christian you can never ever mention any reputable name due to shame of all the atrocities leaders of your so called Christian churches have committed that is why all of you keep hiding under that group name "CHRISTIANS" as lawlessness has made you unproductive so you have now turned that name to an idol that you keep worshiping while criticizing one another. 🙂

According to Jesus his real disciples will be known globally as active preachers and teachers of God's word in all their neighborhood {Act 1:8} they will have love among themselves {John 13:34-35} they will not participate in worldly politics {John 17:14-16} and people of all other religions will hate them. John 15:18

Now tell me which religion fulfilled all of these today apart from JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES?

So if you are claiming Christian yet you can't mention the name of your church we know the reason why.

You are all hiding behind idols while claiming worshipers of God! Revelation 6:16🙂

freethinker01:
Tho I don't like their disturbance, I'd have to say they're far better than all their Christian tithe whoring counterparts.
BafanaBafana:
Quite true. JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are actually one of the few denominations who are still following Christ. Most churches now are headed by motivational speakers who only use the name of Jesus to preach other things. The goal is to attract members to their church and the members will bring the money.
Shikena!
APOPTOSIS:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESS is operating at a different level.
They have been steadfast, resolute and committed.
I hold no grudge against them. They downplay commercialization of churches.
They entertain persecutions a lot, in fact more than several Christian bodies.
Seems in their church everyone is at same level irrespective of your degree, financial acquaintance and contacts.
And it seems they obey the Bible the most:
-They hardly disturb neighbors during prayers.
-They frown at intimidation and flamboyant lifestyles.
-They ensure financial gifts are covered and never displeased at whatever they recieve.
-Their members would make good politicians but they frown at politics
I respect them. I judge based on actions and not what I'm told
.
Oye0404:
well said, once had a witness DAT comes around for years, truth is,dis guys are so caring and accommodating. lots if misconceptions about dem..
XXLDICK:
They remain the most peaceful Christian denomination.
They do not pay tithes. They are the only Christian denomination yet to be commercialized. They are my favourite.
Cons:
They do not recite the national anthem.
They do not participate in elections.
They do not accept blood transfusion.
boss1310:
The way they are hated makes me to think sometimes they might be the true Christians but I might be wrong.
Love800:
I would love to be a JEHOVAH'S WITNESS, because of their gentle life. Relaxed service and programs(not those stressful and loud types), and serenity of their church yard. Infact, its this serenity of their abode that blows my mind!

But the thing that worries me, is their misled teachings. How can you say that we are not going to die, but remain on earth and unite with our love ones and live happily together forever!
Deway52:
I am convinced that JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are the real religion, they do everything in line with the bible.
Na small time remain for me now, I don enter. If everybody in the world is a jw the world would be a better place.
DeepSight:
I am not sure the respect JWs have is on account of what you say. It is more on account of their general simplicity, general adherence to bible truth, and the fact that no one can accuse them of being commercialised or money or power focused like most other denominations are. Alot of people see a purity in them which is lacking in many other places. I should know, for as I told you, in my youth, I used to be one.
HardMirror:
unfortunately, JW are the best Christians if we will be honest.

You are the one deceiving yourself. Many churches are global and do not participate in politics and all yet, like your cult, no reasonable person can call them Christians nor a church of God.
Re: A Proof That Watchtower Is Another Religion Entirely, And Not Christianity by BlackViper: 11:40am On Feb 18
Jesus NEVER said He was not good. He merely ASKED why the term was being applied to Himself. He was testing the man who called Him good.

Jesus didn't have a problem with being called "good". He referred to Himself as the Good Shepherd:

John 10:11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep"

Jesus is God in human form. He is Eternal and has no beginning or end.

Before the revised standard whoever is reading the KJV version will continue to go blind spiritually speaking.

For instance the only version that has made its adherents a global family today is the New World Translation published by Watchtower.

Please present any other version of the Bible that those using it don't participate in worldly politics and wars!

Charles himself also missed a lot about accurate knowledge of God's word but regarding his statement about someone guiding you to understand the Bible please read the Bible book of Act 8:30-31
There you will see where a Bible believer asked another person to guide him into the understanding of God's word!
Re: A Proof That Watchtower Is Another Religion Entirely, And Not Christianity by BlackViper: 5:12pm On Feb 18
There's asking for guidance which is what Acts 8:30 is talking about, then there's making a categorical statement that guidance can only come from YOU and that anyone who seeks to understand the Bible outside of your guidance will go into spiritual darkness within 2 years.

So what Mr Russell was saying is that for 2,000 years, nobody was practicing true Christianity until he came along.

All I'm asking JWs to do, is point me in the direction of a scripture which commands all Christians to learn their theology from Charles Taze russell. This shouldn't be difficult for you.

Re: A Proof That Watchtower Is Another Religion Entirely, And Not Christianity by MaxInDHouse(m): 6:57pm On Feb 18
I already told you that Russell has his own flaws regarding the accuract knowledge of God but at least you have seen that someone needs to guide another to the understanding of God's word but Russell was wrong because after Jesus it's a group that was chosen to lead the Christians not just a man.

Today what we have is broader than the understanding of Russell that is why he wasn't given the name God wanted to call His worshipers during the end time.

It's was fifteen years after his death that God gave us a new group name so Charles Taze Russell never knew the name God wanted to give His worshipers in the end time, in fact he was celebrating Christmas and other pagan festivals that should tell you that he is not the founder of this group as many people thought.🙂

I didn't deny that guidance is needed to understand the Bible. In fact Acts 8:30 that you quoted shows that it was the Holy Spirit that guided Philip to speak to the Ethiopian eunuch.

All I want to know is where in the Bible we are told that in the end times, a man called Charles Taze russell will be sent to guide us into Biblical truth, because the Bible says something VERY different:

John 16:13
“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth…”


The Bible tells us that it is the Holy Spirit who interprets Biblical truth to us.

So do JWs believe that Charles Taze Russell is the Holy Spirit?

Re: A Proof That Watchtower Is Another Religion Entirely, And Not Christianity by BlackViper: 9:32am On Feb 19
Sorry oga, but Revelation 3:14 doesn't say what you think it does.

Revelation 3:14 says:"....these things saith the Amen.."

In other words, the name of the Speaker in Revelation 3:14 is, "The Amen"

Guess who else is called "Amen" in the Bible?

Isaiah 65:16 tells us the answer:

“…shall bless himself in the God of Amen…”

Biblically speaking, God is the "Amen"

So Revelation 3:14 is saying that Jesus is the One who begins creation, not that He was created in the beginning.

Re: A Proof That Watchtower Is Another Religion Entirely, And Not Christianity by BlackViper:
Charles Taze Russell warned his followers that they would not be able to understand the Bible unless they read it under the guidance of his explanatory books.

He had about 6 volumes of these books and he titled them: "Studies in the Scripture"

He said anyone who read his explanatory books would be in the light at the end of 2 years, even if they had not read a single page of the Bible, but those who read the Bible without his explanatory books would go into darkness within 2 years.

He actually said this in The Watch Tower Magazine (September 15, 1910).

Here is the full quote:

Furthermore, not only do we find that people cannot see the Divine Plan in studying the Bible by itself, but we see also that if anyone lays the Studies in the Scriptures aside, even after he has used them, after he has become familiar with them, after he has read them for ten years — if he then lays them aside and ignores them and goes to the Bible alone… within two years he goes into darkness. On the other hand, if he had merely read the Studies in the Scriptures with their references, and had not read a page of the Bible as such, he would be in the light at the end of the two years.”

The Watch Tower, Sept. 15, 1910, p. 298

Oga, it is a virtue to speak the truth and avoid quoting a speaker put of context.

This is what Mr Russel actually said;
the Divine Plan in studying the Bible by itself, but
we see, also, that if anyone lays the SCRIPTURE STUDIES
aside, even after he has used them, after he has become
familiar with them, after he has read them for ten years
—if he then lays them aside and ignores them and goes
to the Bible alone, though he has understood his Bible for
ten years, our experience shows that within two years he
goes into darkness. On the other hand, if he had
merely read the SCRIPTURE STUDIES with their references,
and had not read a page of the Bible, as such, he would
be in the light at the end of the two years, because he would have the light of the Scriptures.

Our thought, therefore, is that these SCRIPTURE
STUDIES are a great assistance...

In other words, if you anyone who uses the study guide &quits, within two years he goes into darkness (about the scriptures).
On the other hand if the study guide is thoroughly studied, the individual would be "in the light of the scriptures".
That is the point Mr Russel made..

Biblically speaking, God is the "Amen"
Can you quote a Bible verse where the above is explicitly stated or paraphrased?🤔

Guess who else is called "Amen" in the Bible?

Isaiah 65:16 tells us the answer:

“…shall bless himself in the God of Amen…”

Biblically speaking, God is the "Amen"
For instance ,:
(1)
"shall bless himself in the God of Blackviper" meaning that Blackviper is the God?

2) "Shall bless himself in the God of Abraham" meaning that Abraham is the God?
No.
Therefore,God is NOT the Amen.
Oga,your claim is very faulty & unscriptural..



BlackViper:
Sorry oga, but Revelation 3:14 doesn't say what you think it does.

Revelation 3:14 says:"....these things saith the Amen.."

In other words, the name of the Speaker in Revelation 3:14 is, "The Amen"

So Revelation 3:14 is saying that Jesus is the One who begins creation, not that He was created in the beginning.
@ Revelation 1:1, God gave Jesus the Revelation to give John..
Therefore , Jesus is a Messenger ,NOT God the Author of the message.
The same point in Revelation 3:12.
Revelation 3:14, Jesus is the Amen/The beginning of the creation by God."

Point of emphasis in verse 14: beginning of the Creation by God,not creation by Jesus.
Therefore , Revelation 3:12-14 ,Jesus proven that he is a worshipper & a creature.
Verse 21,in the Spirit realm Jesus sits on the throne of his Father (meaning SENIOR) alongside other obedient worshippers (@Rev 3:12,21)3 in heaven.
Jesus said so .
