Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 6:19am On Apr 12, 2018
What do you know about Jehovah’s Witnesses? Some people have called them Christian propagandists, a new Christian cult, a Christian sect influenced by Judaism, or fanatics who reject medical treatment. Actually, the Witnesses are none of these things. Why do some people think such things about them? Mostly because those people have been given wrong information.

As their name shows, Jehovah’s Witnesses are Witnesses for Jehovah. Who is Jehovah? Jehovah is the name that Almighty God gives to himself in the pages of the Bible.* It is a personal name, not a title like God or Lord. In a general sense, throughout history anyone who witnesses to God’s glory could be called a witness of Jehovah.—Exodus 3:13, 15; Isaiah 43:10.

Thus, the Bible, when listing a long line of faithful men of old starting with Abel, calls them “so great a cloud of witnesses.” (Hebrews 11:4; 12:1) Outstanding individuals, such as Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and David, are listed as God’s witnesses—witnesses of Jehovah. Jesus Christ is called “the faithful and true witness.”—Revelation 3:14.

Why Witnesses Are Needed

The Bible says that man was created perfect and placed in a paradise. The Creator made him with the ability to live forever, to have children, and to extend the boundaries of his Paradise home worldwide. At that time man knew his God, and there was no need for witnesses.—Genesis 1:27, 28.

God endowed man with free will, but our first parents made a wrong decision. They chose to be independent of him. Hence, while God remains perfect, just, and pure, mankind on earth became sinful and unrighteous. Nevertheless, our holy God will allow sin and wickedness to continue only for a limited period of time. The Bible indicates that we are near the end of that divinely permitted time period. So that mankind can know these things, He has preserved His Word—the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospel—down to our day.

Since most humans do not know God, he has commanded faithful humans to witness about him. To such faithful ones he says: “You are my witnesses.” (Isaiah 43:10) About the work they accomplish, he says: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations.”—Matthew 24:14.

Today, more people than ever before, from all races, languages, and nations, are honestly investigating God’s Word. They have found that many religious customs are of pagan origin and are displeasing to God.

As you may know, some have used religion for commercial purposes. Others have used it to further their political ends or to get rich at the expense of the poor. How do you think such religious profiteers react when a true witness about God is given? Obviously, they feel threatened. That is one reason why you may hear some speak evil of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Whatever the cost, Jehovah’s Witnesses adhere closely to the Bible. They have not invented a new religion. They merely follow what is written in the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospel, which is the foundation of true religion. What, then, do they believe? Below are listed some of their teachings. Read and see whether these have the ring of truth or not.

No Trinity

The Bible does not teach the Trinity doctrine. Rather, it says that there is only one true and eternal God. “Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.” (Deuteronomy 6:4) He is the Creator—eternal, almighty, without equal. Jesus is not Almighty God. Jesus lived on earth as a perfect man and died for imperfect mankind. God kindly accepted the life of Jesus as a ransom, and thus through him is the salvation of the faithful. This is God’s will.—Luke 22:42; Romans 5:12.

No Immortal Soul

What happens to people when they die? God’s Word says: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Man does not have an immortal soul. People who think they are talking to the dead are really communicating with demons. Similarly, prayers for the dead benefit no one except the clergy who are paid to utter them.

Resurrection

Man’s real hope is the resurrection, the coming forth of the dead to an earth restored to Paradise conditions. Those who have served God will be blessed for their faithfulness. Those who have died without finding God will have that opportunity then. Thus, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) Only those whom God judges unworthy will not receive a resurrection.

No Hellfire

A loving God would not create a place where the dead suffer eternally. God himself described the burning and torturing of humans as “a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.”—Jeremiah 7:31.

No Fate

God does not write anything on the foreheads of people. There is no fate that determines our future before we are born. We are responsible for what we do, for the choices we make. “Each of us will render an account for himself to God.”—Romans 14:12.

No Clergy Class

Everyone dedicated to God is equal in His eyes. True worshipers are all brothers and sisters. God did not appoint an elevated clergy class. Jesus said: “Everyone that exalts himself will be humiliated, but he that humbles himself will be exalted.” (Luke 18:14) God will judge adversely those who through religion elevate themselves over others.—Matthew 23:4-12.

No Idolatry

“God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) True worshipers do not use idols.

Neutral in Politics

Jesus said his followers would be “no part of the world.” (John 17:16) Hence, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not interfere in national or local politics. Further, they are a law-abiding people.—Romans 13:1, 5-7.

High Moral Standards

Jesus described how to recognize true worshipers when he said: “This is my commandment, that you love one another just as I have loved you.” (John 15:12, 13) Another chapter in the Bible says: “The fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control.” (Galatians 5:22, 23) Those manifesting these qualities do not lie, steal, gamble, abuse drugs, or commit sexual immorality. (Ephesians 4:25-28) They love God, so they avoid things that God hates. These principles govern the lives of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The Approaching End of This World

What makes our time different from other times? Fulfillment of prophecy shows that we are living in the last days of this system of things, this world. (Daniel 2:44) Today, the issue is, Do the things we do please God? God is one, and there can be only one true religion. This religion cannot be out of harmony with the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospel. Hence, we must examine that Word.

That is what Jehovah’s Witnesses do. Whatever your religion, you need to do the same. Nobody can make a decision for you in this regard. Remember: “Each of us will render an account for himself to God.”—Romans 14:12.

No individual is born a Witness of Jehovah. Every single Witness makes a personal decision. After making an honest search of God’s Word, the searcher recognizes truth, and on this basis he dedicates himself to the true God, whose name is Jehovah. If you would like to make a similar investigation, please write to one of the addresses below.

Unless otherwise indicated, all Bible quotations are from the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.


In the world of Islam, the Bible consists of the books known as the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospel. At least 64 verses of the Koran speak of these books as the Word of God and emphasize the need to read them and to carry out their commands. Some assert that the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospel have been changed. However, to say this is to ignore the words of the Koran and to say that God cannot preserve his Word.

The name of the God of the Bible is יַהְוֶה‬ transgrammation is YHWH pronounced as Yahweh. There is no where in history where the word Jehovah or yehowah appears before the 12th century. The word Jehova is a man made name gotten from joining two Hebrew words for the name of God wch are Yahweh and Adonai...
Do i have a problem with the word Jehovah, no i do not. But i have a problem with people trying to deceive us that it is true name of God and others are fake. Every dialect has a name they call God but if you must call him by his original name then it has to be YHWH...

Jehovah withnesses where first called Russellites after the name of their first president Russell. After his death the second president changed the name of the organization to Jehovahs withnesses..
If Jehovah commanded your folks to withness for him, how come the first generation of JW were called Russellites instead of withnesses? Would you regard the first generation of jws including your founder as withnesses too?

Well you've delivered a speech to me,it's left for anyone who have the time for spiritual things to investigate if your write-up is true.As for me i'll say bravo my brother for the boldness of speech because i could remember Jesus saying "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" Luke 6:45 So i'm fully convinced that you truly have a lot to offer! I'm expecting opposers to make their presentations as well, after all it's a free world America is ruling and they've declared FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.

After the Antichrist has silenced pure worship for centuries it was difficult for God's people to start all over again so Jesus intervened and during His inspection of all forms of worship He chose a small group that's ever ready to adjust. Yes! It was rough and tough when we began during the 19/20th centuries as international Bible students but today we're known throughout the Earth as Jehovah's witnesses. Of course all those who made a lot of sacrifices contributing to the success of this organization are Jehovah's witnesses as well. Note that it was Isaiah who lived almost 2000 years after Abel that Jehovah inspired to tell Israelites that all those who have served HIM faithfully are Jehovah's witnesses! Isaiah 43:12 compared to Hebrews 11:4-23/12:1 The group name most religion cherished so much today(Christians)was given to Christ's followers in Antioch by ridiculers to vilify them but the divine name God wants all HIS faithful worshippers including Jesus Himself to be called is "Jehovah's witnesses".Hebrews 12:1 note that chapter 11 listed names of those who worshiped God before Christ and please compare to Revelations 1:5. As for the divine name YHWH Well it was transliterated from Yahweh to Jehovah so if you're disagreeing with the use of the name then you should also disagree with the use of Jesus as it's the transliteration of Yeshua(the original pronunciation of Jesus in Hebrew) and all other biblical names that has been transliterated Thank you Sir!

oh you mean the antichrist silenced the mouth of the Apostles who wrote the new testament too, interesting. However, the name Jehovah started existing in d 12th century during ur supposed antichrist reign, nd ur organization only came up several centuries later, would you also say that the name Jehovah is work of the antichrist?
Jesus in Hebrew is yeshua but i have good news for you, the new testament wasn't written in Hebrew but in Greek and Jesus in Greek is Lesous from which d English word Jesus stems from.

You're not getting my point! (1) True Christians as a group disappeared from the surface of the Earth after the death of the Apostles but the Bible has been completed (2) Jesus wasn't Greek,He never went to Greece,His parent never called Him by Greece and His followers never relate with Him in Greece. So if we're to talk about the ORIGINAL pronunciation of His name when He walked this Earth it wasn't the English transliteration Jesus nor the Greece transliteration but the Hebrew "Yeshua"! But what about every other faithful witness of ancient times? Their names aren't English or Greek rather they're Hebrews.Hananiah Mishael and Azariah were given Babylonian names Shadrak Meshak and Abednego but they insisted on their Hebrew names. If you can accept some names in the transliteration and zealously praying making reference to such names please it will pointless arguing about another name in the same transliteration!

After a thorough meditation on how angry Satan was back then and how determined he is to wipe out any trace of Jesus and His teachings, Jesus looked and asked "if i return,will i meet Faith on this Earth?" Luke 18:8 Please it's because Jesus knew how desperate Satan is to erase Jesus in history.Act 5:28 So it actually happened that after the death of the Apostles there exists no group practicing true Christianity again until the Early 20th century.So Christianity was silenced after the first century Christians, as the Apostles all died by execution with excruciating pains except John who was banished to the isle of Pathmus because Jesus had a job for him(to write the book of Revelations) By the use of intimidation and persecution Satan silenced pure worship back then!

interesting, so true Christian disappeared after the death of the Apostles? So the Apostles never had Faithful proteges? Paul didn't have Timothy? The canon of scriptures you are using was decided upon by ur so called fake Christians..
Secondly, you said Jesus came around and inspected different froms of worship and chose your folks cos dey are ever ready to adjust.. What were they worshiping before Jesus came? Am interested in knowing.. Then why are they always ready to adjust? I taught the Bible said the "forever oh Lord your word is settled in heaven", why does yours need adjustments from time to time?

(2) Jesus wasn't Greek,He never went to Greece,His parent never called Him by Greece and His followers never relate with Him in Greece.

i don't know what you were taught but for your information, the book of Daniel is one of the few old testament books that was not written in Hebrew.. It was written in Aramaic wch was the popular language during the reign of the Babylonian empire.
Secondly, during the time of Jesus on earth, it was the Roman Empire.. Before the Roman Empire, there existed the Grecian Empire (Alexander the Great).. The Roman Empire was largely influenced by the Grecian Empire, ever heard of the word Greco-Roman? . As a matter of fact, the whole world still owes a lot to the Greeks wen it comes to knowledge as they played a major role in organized learning as a matter of fact the University of Athens still remained all tru the Roman empire.
The entire new testament was written in Greek language except some few Aramaic words or do you want to debate this?

I wonder where you get your knowledge of church history from but its skewed.. The early Christians faced alot of persecution under the Roman Emperor Nero who killed most of the Apostles. And as God would have it, a Roman military Officer who had earlier just been converted to Christianity succeeded Nero after he died unceremoniously by committing suicide. Up till the time of Neros death there were still Christians who hadn't denied their faith.

Today the organization has grown so big that throughout the Earth every living soul can feel their impact just like those He used in the first century. The only difference now is that while Satan was able to stop pure worship in the first century he can't do so now due to "freedom of expression" declared by the end time World Power America!

i see you couldn't refute the fact that the original new testament scriptures were written in greek and not Hebrew as you wanted us to believe.
I would appreciate you answer most of the questions but if its too much i would reduce it to just a few.
1. When Jesus came and inspected your form of worship, what were you worshiping?

Jesus is the Son of God meaning "the only person that knows perfectly God's
how about a son of man? It also means the only person that knows man perfectly? In the old testament, many men were referred to as Son of man

view in all matters" we humans are sinners meaning "we're always prone to errors" So a Christian is a person who is EVER WILLING TO WELCOME CORRECTIONS! The only difference between Christians and other religious Jews in the first century is the willingness to adapt to whatever instruction that comes from Jesus (the one they've identified as Messiah) After the death of the Apostles Satan tried to bury Jesus' name and teaching but the Bible has been written.Satan immediately initiated a religious group to MISREPRESENT Christ so that as time goes by what people will know will have nothing in common with the first century Christianity.

@bolded, where did you get that information from? How come there was never a prophesy of that in scripture? Who was in that meeting where Satan initiated the plan?
But America so called freedom of expression only exists in places where democracy is embraced. You also said Satan cannot stop true worship because of America, is America greater than Satan? I tot the Bible called Satan the prince of the world and Satan even offered to give Jesus the kingdoms of the world during the temptations

if we weren't learned, you would rewrite history.
The Church has been in existence Since the death of Jesus, Jesus said "upon this rock i build the church, the gates of hell shall not prevail against it".. Constantine was only the emperor that made Christianity the official religion of Rome, this also means alot of people who knew nothing about Christianity became Christians along side true Christian. The church got so powerful that it was involved in the politics of this world and became worldly too and God raised men amongst the catholic community who opposed these falsehood wch gave birth to protestants wch u folks are part of. In every church as Jesus said, the enemy plants tares while men slept.. Where are wolves among the sheeps and shaff amongst wheat but Jesus said dey would have to abide together even until the end when dey will be separated. Even in the days of the Apostles dey had ananais and saphaira and ppl like that.

Good! So you admit that Christians have nothing to do with politics,that's really amazing! So how can Constantine(a politician) who rose after the death of all those faithful men governing the activities of the Christians be a true Christian? Because Jesus refused to be a politician and asked an incumbent politician to drop politics and follow Him to become as wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove.John 6:15,Luke 18:22,

How can? Why did God call Cyrus his servant, why was David King, why is Jesus Christ our messiah coming again as King and Saints would rule the earth with him?
God used Constantine to stop the killing of his people same way he raised up Esther to stop the extermination of the jews..

Even those that are deep in the knowledge of good and evil and Satan, know Bible pass una.

Please Sir, we're not quarreling! Let's apply wisdom here,Cyrus gave order for Jews to be permitted to go and reestablish pure worship, notice that "he didn't participate" in the worship he just gave the order so that everything was done according to God's laws.David served as a King under God's arrangement so he was acting in accordance with God's laws yet God didn't agree for David to build a Temple for HIM! Why? Because according to God HIMSELF "David's hand is full of blood!" Jesus must wait until God gives Him the order to rule. Psalms 110:1-3 Constantine ruled after Nero but he influenced the religion to the extent that everything was just the same pagan Roman worship now established in Jesus name!

Jesus said my Kingdom is not from this source, which means Jesus won't rule with people who are under Satan's manipulations, that's why those that He trained for that purpose must be willing to surrender totally to His humble personality! Sorry Jesus' friends can't rule with Satan.John 14:30,2Corinthians 4:4,1John 5:19

Sorry Sir, Jesus according to John 1:1 "WAS God" meaning Jesus acted as God at a point in time just like Moses.Exodus 7:1 But both Moses and Jesus will render an account before the person who assigned them to act in HIS behalf that's "the Almighty God!" 1Corinthians 15:26/27 That's why Moses prophesied about Jesus as a Prophet like him. Deuteronomy 18:15-18 compare to Act 3:22. So Jesus "the word WAS God" but presently He is humbly standing beside His father who is also our father and His God who is also our God. John 20:17 Act 7:55

U do not participate in politics but a while ago you were celebrating the same gay peddling America. You were rejoicing on how they were greater than the devil by giving you freedom of expression under democracy wch is still politics. So was it the devil that did that?
