Some of Russell's teachings were, he knew the truth about who Christ is, more then what I can say 'about the new generation of JW's who don't know who your master teacher and founder is. At least Russell had some descents to know some truth about Christ and who He is, while the JW's today refuse to believe in Russell's manuscripts, then none of you will ever know some of the truth. Look it up if you dare? Finished Mystery Jesus is approved and signed by C. T. Russell himself.. goodnews201668: |

The JW's had once again reunited without wearing God's armour, fighting a verbal war that had already began, "and won" denying their masters manuscripts, turning themselves away from the truth, to believe the lies and wonders their true master had began before their world existed. Right as you are, as weak as the watchtower is, with verbal abuse they will do everything in their own power that this news don't travel further then it had already began. With the grace of Christ, Your information will have travelled to the four corners of the earth, with great pride, the Lord is with us to help save their souls. zodiakzax: |

"Who Was the Founder of Jehovah’s Witnesses? The modern-day organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses began at the end of the 19th century. At that time, a small group of Bible students who lived near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the United States, began a systematic analysis of the Bible. They compared the doctrines taught by the churches with what the Bible really teaches. They began publishing what they learned in books, newspapers, and the journal that is now called The Watchtower—Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom. Among that group of sincere Bible students was a man named Charles Taze Russell. While Russell took the lead in the Bible education work at that time and was the first editor of The Watchtower, he was not the founder of a new religion. The goal of Russell and the other Bible Students, as the group was then known, was to promote the teachings of Jesus Christ and to follow the practices of the first-century Christian congregation. Since Jesus is the Founder of Christianity, we view him as the founder of our organization.—Colossians 1:18-20." |

So if Jesus is the founder of your organisation then how come you don't believe Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega in {Revelation 1:8} and if you believe Jesus is the founder of your Church then why is it, you and the watchtower allowed Russell to teach Jesus is God in the makings. When you yourselves believed Jesus isn't God? That is hypocritical 'is it not? So be honest who started your Church? MrEmekaa: |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Nobody: 8:38pm On Jun 04, 2016 |
MrEmekaa:Jesus cannot be the founder of Christianity and Jehovah witness haven't you heard that a house divideth against a house will not stand. Jesus is not the author of confusion Jehovah witness was NEVER founded by Jesus and Jesus was NEVER the founder of watch tower secret society.quote me anywhere |

zodiakzax:HOPE YOU CAN SEE THAT YOU REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE I RAISED. I replied you in your post to be , but it seems you dnt want to reply when I explained things to you with the scriptures , neither do you want to comment on the issues raised or quote and share your views on the scriptures that I quoted to you. I do not dwell or discuss much on personal opinions about people and organization's. you accept and reject some of Russell's teaching even though you had no clue how he came about it. but you are ready to abuse others who do same cus they later became members of that same organization's he was part of. I showed an example of what the scriptures they had at that time had done, that it removed God's name in most places where it occurred in the scriptures, you also could not respond to that! I'll also try to continue my explanations on the scriptures you quoted soon, sorry for the delay. |

| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by dolphinheart(m): 10:15pm On Jun 04, 2016 |
brocab:I have never gone out of action before, no whinch me bad thing! again this isn't about you dolphinheart, this time we are talking about Russell and about his teachings you refuse to believe, as you can see we have different doctrines, Russell's doctrine is different from your doctrine.it is not about me but you could say "we are talking about Russell and about his teachings you refuse to believe" Haba! , when it's now about me, what will you say. brocab , you ones claimed my doctrine is different from that of the organizations doctrine, I asked you to provide one of their present doctrines that is different from mine. you have failed to do so. Russell believes Jesus is the Almighty, he also believes Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega in {Revelation 1:8, 21:6, 22:13}you sha want to force founder on me sha, well it's the only way your views could have some meaning, but note, the organization has told you who their founder is!, argue it all you want! Because you yourself had denied Christ, and refusing to explain who the Alpha and the Omega is, then of course Russell had to come to the rescue and save the day.YOU ARE A LIAR BROCAB!, IVE DONE THAT MULTIPLE TIMES ON THIS THREAD AND ON EACH OCCASION MENTIONED YOU MULTIPLE TIMES. It is you who have for months refused to quote and explain scriptures in which jesus was mentioned! He had answered my questions clearly-only because of your refusal C. T. Russell agree's that {Revelation 1:8} is talking about Christ, and of course I myself agree with some of Russell's teachings on the bible, then It's right for me to back the man up on these few issues.your teachings are false , that's why you can quote and explain rev 1:1,4-6. The person that did so said the one who is , who was and who is to come is the father!. After reading some of the Finish Mystery of Russell's manuscripts it shows clearly today's JW's had left his teachings behind. Instead of agreeing with the man 'you have all turned after Satan.are you sure you read it, I dnt think so. The old argument is finished, the new argument is about to start, is Jesus the archangel Michael? Or is the archangel Michael Jesus the Pope?note: he attacks an organization but refuses to give alternatives he refuses to respond to issues raised or answer questions he is asked ! we never ever had an old argument , all I'm requestING of you is to respond to to the issues at hand: I brought up and issue on what he said about Jesus when he was on earth, hope you will agree that God's Spirit helped him make such statement too, but knowing you, I believe you will stay as far away from that issue as possible even though you where being mentioned there! PLS ! ,BROCAB, PROVIDE JUST ONE EXAMPLE WHERE YOU HAD ASKED ME TO EXPLAIN " WHO IT IS" AND ALL IVE DONE IS TO WRITE THE SCRIPTURE DOWN! ........................................................ you said this : "But first you need to think about this, "we are Christians" and Christians are not Jehovah witnesses, Christians don't think the same as you, nor do we believe in any of your doctrines." I asked you : you dnt believe any of our doctrines? ok , one of the doctrines of jehovahs witnesses doctrine is that followers of Jesus are not supposed to participate in warfare , do you accept this doctrine or you believe that Jesus followers are supposed to participate in warfare, by warfare, I mean war among countries, nationalities, and tribes, e.g the nigerian civil war! Another teaching is that fornicators, people who deliberately and continuously commit fornication after being found out, are not allowed to be part of brocab, there are still other isues at hand 1. WRITTEN WHAAAT? pls point to what I've written and post it, anytime I say you said something, I endeavor to direct you to wheee and when you said it, so pls direct me and others to where I said " God and the Word is a two headed god"? bunch of liars! 2. Brought what back to my attention, I know you desperately want him to bring those words he accused me of saying out, it pains you that he could not, hence you have to find alternatives! .............................. And yet no response from you on the issue you yourself raised? also up till now , you have not answered these questions (ill find that post and point it to you) ...................................... you have also refused to respond to these questions and scripture: [b]Just tell us the name of the church you associate with, that you are a member of!. If possible you can include its official website, at least you surpport using technology in Gods work. Tell us, do you know that Jesus Christ told someone that he has a God? And that statement was recorded in the kjv.? Can you tell us where this can be found? If you can't answer this question brocab, then you dnt know the truth about Christ!. Expecially. The one spoken by Jesus himself. Examine this questions brocab 1. If you say one body, one spirit, was Jesus a spirit before he came to earth? 2. When Jesus was on earth, was the spirit in him his, the father or the holy spirit.? 3. After Jesus left the earth, did he remain in the body or became a spirit? 4. What does Jesus mean by " the father is greater than I am" 5. Why does Jesus say he is going to the father when you are trying to say he is spirit. 6. You asked a question, the answer is yes, but ill like to ask you, what about the soul, why did you remove the soul when fomulating your question. brocab , readers will note(again) that you have NOT quoted and explained ANY of the following scriptures : 1.rev 1:1,6 2. Rev 3, 2,13 3. John 17:1-3 4. Heb 1:1 -9 5. John 20:17 6. 1 cor 11:3 7 . 1 ti 2 :5,6 8.Acts 4:10 9. Acts 2:36 10. Acts 2:24 11. Acts 5:30 12.Acts 10:38,40,43 11. Phil 2:9,11 12. john 14:6 13. Acts 4 : 26,27, 30 14. 1 john 4:14 15. Heb 5:7 16. ps 28:18 17. 2 cor 1:3 18. Eph 1:3 19. 1 pet 1:3 20: 2Cor 8:6 21. 1 cor 15: 27,28 And a host of others ............................................. Brocab , examine these scripture Acts 5: 31. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. John 3:16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus is Gods only begotten son, Jesus is not God almighty! ................................................ YOU HAVE AGAIN ADDED LIES TO YOUR VIEWS. Lets see if Jesus was recognizable to those who knew him: [b]King James Version Joh 20:14And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and KNEW NOT THAT IT WAS Jesus! King James Version Joh 20:15Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? SHE SUPPOSING HIM TO BE THE GARGENER, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. I dnt think the disciples would have been able to recognize Jesus more than Mary, she probably would have known Jesus from birth, and the picture of Jesus in her memory would have been sharper than a 100 mega pixel camera! but here you are , lying again that Jesus was recognizable to those who knew him! dnt you think Mary should have been able to recognise Jesus instantly if he had been raise in the same body he died in? * this is a question ill hope you can give us answer to . Do you notice how Jesus appeared to his disciples who had locked the doors, his actions transcends the physical realm, he appeared to them gram!, in a locked rooM!. yet until he showed them death dealing wound marks, that was when they believed they where swing the Lord. brocab pls tell us 1. DOES SOME ONE FACE CHANGE WHEN HE OR SHE IS RESSURRECTED WITH THE SAME BODY HE OR SHE DIED IN? 2.DOES SOME ONE GETS RESSURRECTED WITH THE WOUND'S OR INJURIES THAT KILLED HIM? If your assumptions are true, I bet during the ressurection, we will know those whose throut where slit, cus there will still be a gapping hole in there necks. and those whose brains where blown out will have a hole in their head, cus they will be resurrected with that same body! before, I digress, let's further examine ya lie. King James Version Joh 21:4But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: BUT THE DISCIPLES KNEW NOT THAT IT WAS Jesus. john 21: 12 New International Version Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. even after seing Jesus after his resurrecting, after being with Jesus for years, they still do not recognize Jesus at first glance. If Jesus had been resurrected with the same body he had died in, the disciples will have no doubt, they wunt need to even bother to ask the question that dared not to ask, "who are you". Jesus had just showed them who he is, it is left for us to understand that they still had issues with Jesus physical features, despite knowing that the person inviting theM to a meal is actually Jesus. I for one believe that only spirits do appear and dissappear at will! spirits can manifest physical bodies of any liking for any particular purpose, the scriptures is awash with such occurrences, they can even use it to have sex sef! sir do you ever read the scriptures at all. It says flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God! human body is flesh and blood! how then do you espect the king of gods kingdom to have flesh and blood while his Co rulers do not! how do you expect the physical to rule in the spiritual realm. brocab, Jesus was a spirit before he came to earth, was he not? how come , you refuse him his spirit nature when he had accomplished the work he was sent to do here on earth? |

We can only sound like a broken record, because its something you recognise in yourself when you push your doctrine on others, but in your case irrelevant is never to the point. To read some of the Finished Mystery by C. T. Russell's manuscripts, and to see your organisation had completely removed some of Russell's teachings, had really made a difference who you JW's are today. Russell said there's no need to learn the Hebrew or the Greek languages to gain a correct understanding of the bible since the Presbyterians and the Methodist have a good version of the bible. {P 55} But of course your organisation had disagreed with Russell's teachings, finding men who are not Hebrew and Greek scholar's and allowed them to rewrite a new bible that speaks only against Christ. Russell may have been a lair in some things he taught on, but he also spoke some truth who the Holy Spirit and Christ the Father is. I don't apologised, for sounding like a broken record-this isn't about you, this subject is about Christ, and if the Christ in me means I have to deliver His message, than I say move aside, and allow me to sing His glory across His nations. But you have got to admit to yourselves the word of God always finds ways to even seek through your darkness, lifting it self up above any other name, that's written in heaven and on the earth and under the earth. {Philippians 2:10} That at the name of Jesus every knee will bow. We belong to Christ and we will send His messages even to you, if you don't like it, move on, and find another source you believe who can save you. goodnews201668: |

No more lies dolphinheart you are deceiving yourself. Finely you had answered {Revelation 1:4} by Charles Russell's view who is, who was, and who is to come, isn't the same as your answer, Russell believes the Almighty is Jesus and not the Father. But this argument of yours is finished, I am blessed by the Lord sending Zodiakzax to pass on the message I needed most. I didn't really need to here it from you, who Christ is, I just wanted to hear it from a JW, and I had accepted Russell's teachings, and he is "the grand JW their was. So this case is closed.

How interesting is this book, Russell taught on many things who Christ really is. {Revelation 1:8} The Finished Mystery 1917 by Russell himself-said this> I am the Alpha and I am also the Omega Alpha is the first letter and Omega the last letter of the Greek alphabet. The beginning and the ending-Our Lords great honour is shown in that He was not only the first of God's creation, but the last. From this we are to understand that the great Jehovah did not directly employ His own power in creating either men or angels; but that He delegated His power to His only begotten Son. Saith the Lord God, But not the clergy they will have none of this doctrine. Which is and which was and which is to come, the Almighty,-it is since His resurrection that the message has gone fourth. All power in heaven and in earth has been given unto Me. {Matthew 28:18} Consequently it is only since then that He could be called the Almighty. {Revelation 1:4, 16:5-7} This teaching is straight out of horses mouth-Charles Taze Russell is calling Jesus the Almighty in {Revelation 1:4-8 and 16:5-7} |

A very enjoyable book 'it is very interesting? Everything the newer generational JW's had said is a pack of lies, and they really need to search what their own founder had said, before judging the world, who's right and who's wrong. The Finished Mystery by Charles .T. Russell surely spells it out clearly, the JW's didn't exist before his teachings, and their existence is only through an organisation they call the watchtower. Russell's manuscripts said Jesus is the Almighty, Jesus is The God and Worshipped on page 290 {Revelation 19:4} Fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying Amen; Alleluia-the God the Mighty One; here referred to the Lord Jesus {Revelation 5:8} Charles Russell taught {Revelation 19:4} the Lord Jesus is God who is worshipped. The JW's today vehemently fight against the deity of Christ, not knowing that C.T.Russell taught on {Revelation 1:8} Jesus the Almighty since His resurrection, and Jesus is the God and worshipped at {Revelation 19:4} According to The Finish Mystery. If C.T.Russell was alive today he would be disfellowshipped from the Jehovah Witnesses, for teaching the truth about Christ. Are you JW's taken notes, this maybe your time to find what the truth is, and the message of Salvation and how to get eternal life is the Lord Jesus. {1 John 1:2, 5:12-13} |

Jozzy4:You are dishonest - the Septuagint Translation there was MADE, not CREATE. The verse is interpreted as The Lord made me the beginning of his ways for his works.. It is talking about the eternity of wisdom and not the origination or bringing into existence of wisdom. This is some of the dishonesty you guys throw around that is really shallow and most times you catch the un-informed with it. |

goodnews201668:Revelation 3:14 declares: "And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation.’" Using these words, Jehovah’s Witnesses claim Jesus to be the first creation of Almighty God and therefore, not God. The only problem here is the actual text. The word translated "beginning" (Gk. arche) here actually means "source." In other words, it means "beginning" as in the first cause, not in the sense of being the "first effect." Arche is used as such elsewhere in the book of Revelation. In chapter 21, verse 6, Almighty God says: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end . . ." Do we want to say God was created because arche is used to describe him? By no means! Understood properly, Revelation 3:14 reveals Jesus to be the source of God’s creation—God himself. This fits perfectly with John’s christological declaration in John 1:1-3: the Word created "all things . . . and without him was made nothing that was made." If the Word was created, he would have had to create himself, which is absurd. Me Deny the Bible? The Bible has made it clear who Jesus is. Let us not use doctrine to challenge Doctrine. Let us use scripture that is clear to interpret scripture that is not clear. Revelation is a very deep book and one can't grasp it's meaning easily. So, let's put revelation on hold for the sake of debate. I will like you to explain these to me: 1. John 20:28 = And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Here you have Thomas who is a jew, who knows that the Lord God is one. Why would Thomas address Jesus as God? Mind you, this is not a sign of respect; this is a sign of worship to the reference to someone mighty. 2. John 5:18 = Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.. Here is another time the jews tried to kill Jesus; why - the reason is stated clearly, Jesus told them that He and God the Father was equal. This is a direct statement coming from Jesus own mouth. How can you explain this? 3. Philippians 2:6-10 = Verse 6 nails it right on the head. It said - Jesus who being in the nature/form of God - the verse claims direct equality of Jesus as God. Paul of course was a jew and knew what that meant. If you read the rest of the verses, it explained when Jesus was a man, he succumbed himself as a man. That is what you heretics JW don't get. So, do me a favor and explain these clear passages I have mentioned and tell me what Jesus, the jews and Paul was claiming? |

CAPTIVATOR:I wasn't drawing a conclusion - I was presenting text that stated Jesus knew all things. You presented text that stated He didn't know all things. I did get my response from online; it's called research so go easy on the arrogance. However, I made it clear that: It wasn't until after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection that omniscience was attributed to Jesus. I was answering the person who asked, if Jesus knew everything and I presented one evidence as stated in the Bible. The difference between our doctrines or statements is what I have stated and answered earlier. In Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32 = It is stated clearly that only the Father in heaven knows. These words were spoken when Jesus was a man, as a man, He restricted himself of some of His define attributes as mentioned in Philippians 2:6–8. After his resurrection, He took on His full deity including divine knowledge. You can confirm that when he said Matthew 28:18 = And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. He even went further in Acts 1:7. He repeats the truth that the disciples would not be told the time of His appearing, but He did not exclude His own knowledge. That is my doctrine which is biblical |

CAPTIVATOR:Yes. I base my answer on Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All AUTHORITY in HEAVEN and on EARTH has been given to me. He said this after his resurrection |

You have the right and choice not to believe what the JWs believe... and JWs do not argue-there's no medal for winning an argument, and you will not be forced into agreeing with their believes otherwise that would be extremism. My advise for you is this, wherever you see JWs, sit down with them and reason from the scripture from a neutral perspective and not from "I'm already right perspective." That's humility, and that is what is needed to understand God's word. |

brocab:you are doing a very good work, keep it up and let everyone who will chance by this thread read and know the truth about JW's and their founder Charles Russell. Indeed he would have been disfellowshipped by now, that got My attention, what an interesting news it would have been. |

Yes can you imagine, the founder of the JW's would be disqualified by his own creation. And who will disqualify him ![]() Since C. T. Russell is the beginning, and by his manuscripts his teachings happen to be the end. zodiakzax: |

Yes we don't believe what the JW's believe, but to sit down with a JW is a waste of time, they are not prepared to listen, nor are we prepared to listen to you-haven't you been tuned into the times, this page is full of disagreements. You had even disagreed with C. T. Russell with a masters agree, a teacher and your founder of the JW's even his own teachings are different from yours. He would roll over in his grave if he knew what you had done to his manuscripts! And Russell was the grand JW. In a complete cowardly act the Watchtower had made him look like a fool after he had died. And although the towers sources had rewritten Russell's finding's, disqualifying him from the truth he found about Christ, to rewrite a new beginning, that I find that not even the JW's agree on. Have you read C. T. Russell's book called the Finished Mystery 1917 Jesus approved. This book will open up some Mysteries, that could blow your mind, Russell himself had seen the light-he actually agreed with the Presbyterians and the Methodist, and he told his church, there's no need to learn the Hebrew or Greek languages to gain a correct understanding of the bible since the Presbyterians and the Methodists have a good version of the bible at a reasonable price {P 55} Russell was telling his followers to buy the King James version, their wouldn't be to many other versions of the bible back then. A great book to study, and question' the facts why the JW's changed his manuscripts, when it was Russell who had brought some life into the truth about Christ. MrEmekaa: |
