OLAADEGBU:
Is the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian?
by Matt Slick
12/05/08

The answer to the question is, "No. It is not Christian." Like all non-Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witness' organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity. It denies the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection, and salvation by grace. These make it non-Christian. In addition, to support its erring doctrines, the Watchtower organization (which is the author and teacher of all official Jehovah's Witness' theology) has altered the Bible to make it agree with its changing and non-Christian teachings.

Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors:

1) Taking verses out of their immediate context.
2) Refusing to read verses in the entire biblical context.
3) Inserting their theological presuppositions into the text.
4) Altering the Biblical text to suit their needs.
5) Latching onto one verse to interpret a host of others.
6) Changing the meanings of words.
7) Proclaiming some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines.
8.) Adding to the Word of God.

Additionally, the Jehovah's Witness' organization requires of its member's regular weekly attendance at their "Bible Study" meetings where they are repeatedly indoctrinated with anti-Christian teachings. This is done by reading the Watchtower magazine, following along with what it says, reading the questions it asks, and reciting the answers it gives. In other words, the Watchtower Organization carefully trains its members to let the Organization do their thinking for them. For confirmation of this, please read Does the Watchtower organization control the JW's thinking?

The Witnesses are told they will be persecuted when they go door-to-door teaching their doctrines. They are further told that this is simply the enemy fighting against God's organization because they are in "the truth." So, when someone disagrees with them, they are conditioned to reflect on what the Watchtower has told them. They then feel confirmed in being in God's true organization on earth (like all cults claim). They are strongly encouraged to have friends and acquaintances that are only JW's, thereby keeping outside examination to a minimum. They are told to shun those who leave their group, for in this way there is no way to see why someone has left and no way to find out that they are in error from those who have found the truth in Christ. They are conditioned to shy away from any real biblically knowledgeable person. An example of this is frequently found on the Internet. I was once banned from a Jehovah's Witness' chat room after I not only answered their objections to the Trinity and deity of Christ but also challenged them in return. Subsequently, my name was passed around to all other Jehovah's Witness' rooms where I was banned from them as well. This is a frequent occurrence on the Internet where the Jehovah's Witnesses are alive and well. It is obvious that critical examination of their doctrines is not encouraged by the Watchtower Organization.

The Jehovah's Witnesses consider themselves to be Christians because they believe they are serving the true and living God. Like many cults, they think they are the only true church on earth. Yet, they deny the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the personhood of the Holy Spirit, Jesus' physical resurrection, and salvation by grace through faith.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are discouraged from looking into Jehovah's Witness' history or old Watchtower literature which is replete with contradictions, altered doctrines, and false prophecies. Instead, they are indoctrinated repeatedly against basic Christian doctrines (Trinity, deity of Christ, etc.,) and into the notion that they alone are the true servants of God and that all others are either in "Christendom" or simply unbelievers.

Primarily, the Jehovah's Witness' organization is a mind-control organization that uses its people to pass out literature and send in "donations" to the headquarters in Brooklyn, New York.

"Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization and not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible."(The Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1967, p. 587.)

Conclusion
The Watchtower organization of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a non-Christian organization that uses its people to promulgate false doctrines, collects "contributions" for distribution of a multitudinous amount of literature, and expands its grip into the lives of its members and their families.

It is a non-Christian cult.

alBHAGDADI:
If people aren't doing what you say they should do, how come churches are filled up everyday?

Perhaps you expect them to be walking around with bags and heretic books.

I can see that that thread of MINE is too hot for you guys to counter. That's why you have been avoiding it.

alBHAGDADI:
You are getting beaten here. Go to the thread below and debunk it.

BEATEN on faceless social media, whereas the one beaten has millions of fellow co~workers zealously and industriously making disciples for their Master, known and recognised globally. And those who claims to be winning are like toothless dogs in paintings!

OLAADEGBU:
Is the Jehovah's witness organisation Christian?

The JW religion denies essential Christian doctrines on the nature of God, Jesus, the gospel and a host of other issues. The Jehovah's witness religion is not Christian. Discus.

OLAADEGBU:
I hope your experience as a Mafia will do well to work as an undercover agent with the 'elders' following your so-called 'millions of fellow co~workers' who might be suspicious and thereby reporting them to the 'Headquarters' at New York so that it can be put in their files.

MightySparrow:
Olaadegbu! You still have time for this clowns

Maximus69:
Yes oooooooo!
Olaadegbu can't rest because he's seeing that this CLOWNS are achieving the impossible!
If you want to be sincere with yourself, what good has he got to say about your own religion?
Remember Olaadegbu is a diehard deeperlifer and there is no other Church that's worshipping God apart from them (according to their mentality)

So if he can't rest only because of a religion that you are referring to as CLOWNS, know today that he's seeing the achievements of these so called CLOWNS and he just can't help it but to keep on agitating! Act 5:28
God bless you Sir!

OLAADEGBU:
Like all non-Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witness' organisation distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity. It denies the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection, and salvation by grace.

MightySparrow:
mi.

Sorry for my grammatical error. However, like I always ask your brothers and I have been reading your publications since mid 70s. One question for you or two: (please be very sincere as if standing before God)

1 Have you EVER read the Bible alone(two or more times) without the aid of ANY other publications?
2.What you have now, would you call it knowledge or indoctrination?

Maximus69:
Will you also be sincere with my response?
Well i'll answer you anyways.
(1) I have read it thousands of times before i met Jehovah's Witnesses and i can't find anything worthwhile in it because of the gibberish i always hear in Churches of Christendom right from childhood. But when i met Jehovah's Witnesses, they explained that it's not to be read alone because God have poured out the Holy Spirit on ONLY Jesus' true followers and if you haven't met them you can never understand the Bible!
So i studied the Bible with them and discovered three things
1~ God's word is powerful enough to penetrate hearts and touch people's emotions if handled by a true Christian! Act 26:28
2~ You'll feel totally empty if you're not part of the true followers of Christ when listening to what they've got to say! Act 2:37
3~ Whoever hates the truth can't discern it alone until he's opportuned to speak with true Christians, because the heart of man is really treacherous {Jeremiah 17:9} so it's only the true word of God when handled by God's true servants can reach human's heart! Hebrews 4:12

So while few who truthfully loves God will be ready to accept counsels, majority will detest God's word and results to harboring animosity against whoever utters it! John 17:14-16

(2) KNOWLEDGE is "the accumulation of useful information" all sane individuals have a measure of it!

But

WISDOM is "the practical application of accumulated information for lasting benefits" Jesus explained that this is what most people who don't know the truth can never have!
Because you must learn the THEORY about an unseen intelligent being revered as God, know the PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS of what he's passing to you and the BENEFITS will follow immediately as you apply what you've learnt. This is NOT about miracles but as unbelievers always wish but you live exemplary life that's teaching others even without saying a word!

So if your worship doesn't have these three
THEORY
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS and
BENEFITS
There is no way you'll be confident and bold enough to preach and teach people just as Jesus commanded his faithful followers to do! Matthew 10:3-15, 24:14,28:19-20

MightySparrow:
. Thanks for the exposé You have NOT definitely answered my questions. However. what is the central theme of the Bible?

Maximus69:
What have you gotten from my answers 1&2?

You talked about SINCERITY so will you live by your own rule or trash it now?
My friend, true Christians aren't under obligation to answer you, because Jesus never sent us out in search of antagonists but to find his lost sheep! Matthew 10:6
This are people who are touched by few comments from true Christians and they'll just ask us 'what they need to be saved' Act 2:37
If you SINCERELY wish to know more, then welcome my brothers and sisters in your home. But if you've not gotten anything worthwhile in the ones i presented so far, then take me for one of those religious noisemakers banging bells around in your neighbourhood.
After all you've concluded in your heart that Jehovah's Witnesses are mere CLOWNS, so you need not waste your precious time with CLOWNS!

Maximus69:
OH i can also observe that!
So you truthfully mean i've NOT answered you two questions?
What have you gotten from my answers 1&2?

You talked about SINCERITY so will you live by your own rule or trash it now?

MightySparrow:
like always, self praised conceited Bible only correct teachers! Let the case rest!

Maximus69:
Hmmm, that's the way it is my friend!

¤You referred to us as clowns!
¤You said there's no reason chatting with us!
¤You are even obdressed about grammar!

Lastly
¤You thought of SINCERITY and asked two questions!
But after answering both, you INSINCERELY said your questions weren't addressed!

Well that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Olaadegbu knew that out of all the religions he's seeing around, the one and only group that beats his daddy superintendent's followers as per high intellect are Jehovah's Witnesses!
Upon all that Kumuyi tried to achieve with doctrines based on human traditions like
*Don't drink alcoholic beverages.
*Don't dress fashionably
*Don't use makeups
*Don't wear jewelries
*Ritual fastings
*Vigils and so on
Jehovah's Witnesses are always ahead of them in all things, and what's more?
We're the best friendly neighbours you can think of!
And our faith remains strong despite the fact that we don't dress or behave like mourners or wailers!
That's to prove that this is REAL faith NOT just gullibility!

OLAADEGBU:
"If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed" (2 John 1:10).

Is Jesus Really God? by OLAADEGBU ( m )
: 5:35pm On Nov 25 , 2014

. Jesus is really God.


**** Let's confirm the true doctrine of Jesus and his disciples in the holy Bible....
** John10:34,36
"Jesus answered them:..... I am God's son".

***John20:31
"Believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God"

****Matt16:13,16,17
"Jesus asked his disciples: who do people say the son of man is?"
"Simon Peter answered , you are the Christ,the son of the living God"
"Jesus replied, blessed you are ,Simon, this was revealed to you by my Father"


#### Acts9:20
Paul "began to preach in the synagogue that Jesus is the son of God"

Mumu lying Pharisee, Trinity worshipper and kumuyi worshipper, OLAADEGBU LIES and gospel of falsehood.
You're just pretending to be a Christian.
2John1:10 is speaking against you.
Shame on you, Shameless LIAR.

MightySparrow:

Maximus69:
Fear is for the unbelievers Sir!
As for a true believer, what the scriptures say is that 'if a righteous man/woman falls SEVEN times, he/she will rise against' Proverbs 24:16

So their is no fear for the upright Sir!

MightySparrow:
People going out Deeper Life and other denominations daily without any threat outright or subtle. An ex - member of Deeper Life is still a brother in Christ if he is still in Christ. But for some like you whose brain is khanderhared fear to leave your organisation. You see just answer my questions and let us engage in logical reasoning, don't qoute Reasoning from the Scriptures or What the Bible Really Teaches, I have them and have studied them currently reading The Finished Mystery and Life Everlasting in the Freedom of the Sons of God written by C.T. Russell himself. And again, about Time of Gentiles Reconsidered by Carl Olof Johnson almost through. So I challenge you answer those questions in the affirmative or keep quiet. Shalom
