In response to: Five Things You Never Knew About Jehovah's Witnesses.

The rest of the story…

What Jw's believe, but won't initially tell people when they knock on doors and ask if they think the world would be better off without war, suffering, sickness and child abuse:


If you become a JW and then leave them because of their false teachings, you will be literally shunned. You family that remain in the organization will not be permitted to even talk to you!

The Watchtower Society is the only source of truth on earth today and the rest of the mankind will be destroyed if they do not belong or convert to jw.

The cross is a pagan symbol of sex worship, and that all buildings or persons displaying the cross are likewise pagan. Jehovah's Witnesses deny that Jesus died on a cross but a stake. However, recent "new light" in the Watchtower now admits they are not certain about the cross, but will continue to deny it anyway. Further, the watchtower originally claimed it was a cross.

No one goes to heaven but 144,000. While the Bible shows that the great crowd is in heaven, the Watchtower ignores this and teach their own interpretation.

They teach Christ is the mediator for only the 144,000, not the rest of mankind as taught in the Bible.

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob etc. will be resurrected to earth paradise even when the Bible in Hebrew 11:13-16 shows that their reward will be heavenly. They simply ignore this.

Their light gets "brighter and brighter", allowing for many changes and "about faces" on their doctrines. Yesterday's error is today's "truth" and today's truth becomes tomorrow’s errors. Often the "light" bounces back and forth from old to new views and back again! Basically, in the past 30 years, more than 80% of their doctrine has been discarded.

Blood transfusions are rejected and if a Witness receives one willingly, it results in his eternal death. However, the society allows Hemopheliacs to consume blood for medical purposes to save their life.

That all other religion apart from Jehovah’s Witnesses are false religion and most of the times referred to as Babylon the great.

They believe the Watchtower contains Gods truth, directed by Holy Spirit. Without it one cannot understand the Bible.

They claim they were approved and chosen by Christ Jesus in 1919 as the only religion doing God's will. However their teachings at the time and mistakes since then prove this could not be true and had since been discarded.

They let their loved ones die imposing their doctrinal ban on blood transfusions based on the law covenant. However people broke the law covenant when lives were at stake. Such as saving a life of a sheep or human on the sabbath. King David broke the law to save his men. Even Jesus christ showed that when life is threatened, mercy was more important than sacrifice.

They are known as being false prophets for their many false predictions going back over 150 years. They predicted the coming of christ (1875), resurrection (1878), end of gentile times (1881), Armageddon (1914), resurrection if Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (1915), destruction of all other churches apart from them (1918), disappearance of government and republic (1920), establishment of God's kingdom(1925), resurrection of Abraham, Isaac, jacob (1925), heavenly calling ends (1935), end of the world (1975) and the generation alive in 1914 would not die off before the end. Of course, all this prophecies had since been discarded after their failure and never talked about.

Looking at the history of their false prophecies and teaches, Jehovah's Witnesses becomes a hypocrite whenever they call others false prophet and false teachers.

They are series of court cases involving the Watchtower, the parent organization of Jw, and they are paying millions of dollars in compensation for their failures in child abuse cases (Google is your friend). And yet, none of these are featured in the legal section of their official website. (see how much they have paid thus far: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses%27_handling_of_child_sex_abuse)

Watchtower is selling of kingdom halls in many part of the world. (the building of many once spoken of as evidence of God's blessing and backing of their works). Yet, many Jw's are not aware of it.

They have their own Bible. A Bible carefully designed to agree with their doctrine.
The Watchtower leadership has repeatedly refused to divulge the names and/or academic qualifications of the people within their organization who produced the New World Translation. The reason cited was that the translator where not seeking glory for themselves. But it's really a lame excuse.

The jw Bible is the first real attempt to remove all references to Jesus being worship or being prayed to. It's the first real attempt to obscure the divinity of Jesus Christ. (more about the jw Bible can be found here: http://www.ukapologetics.net/newworld.html)

Like I said in my previous post about JW ... Only thing I love about them is the way they move around doing evangelism.... When it comes to bible honestly the only bible I believe in is the old testament because I believe the world of God cannot be changed or edited... Secondly about their legal cases honestly I have nothing to say about that because even Catholic are facing such cases also so I leave that for God to judge.. nice write up anyway

They also say United Nations is the wild beast quoted in Revelations yet they were a part of the United Nations for 10 years and after it came to light, they quietly left and cooked up a wild story of joining to use their library, lol.

I forgot to add that. Thanks. I actually had a space in the third to comment which I had intended to put this post up in the main post. While I was preparing it, someone deleted me from the space. Lol.

It's actually amazing how far Jw's will go to Suppress information that doesn't favor them.

At least, I don't claim to have the absolute truth and all others are false. By the way, I am a card carrying member of JW organization. I have not yet resigned or disassociated

Thanks. I want to say something about their legal case. I don't know if catholics cover theirs up or not. But the way the Watchtower castigate all other religion for their failings in child abuse cases is so much that you wouldn't believe they have such cases.

It's not surprising that many people are unhappy with them. While they were writing attacking catholics and other religion for their failure in child abuse cases, they themselves had been covering up theirs. I was so angry when I realized it.

And the worst of it all is, the members, those most affected by these child abuses cases do not know that problems like this exist.

It's mind blowing, when I started doing my research, I literally started feeling sick, I had never felt so shocked and ashamed in my life that I was that blinded. Oh well, better late than never

I know how it feels. I really do. Realizing that it's been a lie all along, and I was so busy defending what was not true all along. Well, one thing with religious organizations like jw is that, information spread isn't I ideal for them. Now it's time to spread the information.
