MaxInDHouse: So you have replaced Jesus, God's appointed Moses of the new covenant with Governing body made up of some few men in America? You see why you should go beyond trying to proof you are right and approach religion with an open mind? In trying to defend what is not in scriptures (GB), you conveniently replaced Jesus with governing body as God's representative on earth. Jesus is God's appointed prophet for all Christians today, no one can approach God except through him: John 14:6 (NIV) - says: Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Before Jesus ascended to heaven he told his disciples a comforter (holy spirit) that will be with them: John 14:16 - And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— No where did a mention of your governing body in the scheme of affairs for christians. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 - Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 5. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. The man of lawlessness will oppose and exalt himself in God's temple, these are people that self appoint themselves as holding the keys to the kingdom which includes the governing body, they have established themselves in high places across the Christian body making themselves very important and they make people see them as God, in your case you have already called them "Moses" who happens to be Jesus in this dispensation. JWs use alot of inferences to teach scriptures and they do that so brazenly disregarding contexts and the substance of truth. 1 Like |

Janosky: Only Jehovah's Servants chosen to bear His name of would gather in the name of Jesus His Son That's the consequence of you not knowing what is in a name. I repeat where two or three are gathered in JESUS name. Not in the name of the FATHER you have failed to provide as Jesus himself take talk am. Na that same Jesus you call your EXEMPLAR said gather in my name(JESUS) not in the name of the FATHER you have not mentioned so far as Jesus talk am. Na why Paul too could say in the name of JESUS every knee should bow not the name of the father. It will be easy for me to say you don't follow your EXEMPLAR instructions because Acts 1:8 in the realm of the organization you belong gets dumped into the thrash bin( this to your BEAR BEAR BEAR ![]() ![]() |

falseprophet: You need to know how Apostasy develops in the heart of humans like you and i! ![]() In each generation Apostates always capitalize on the same issue. Jehovah remains on His throne as the Almighty but He often send His representatives to gather His people together as ONE. Noah, Moses, Jesus this three humans served at different times as God's representatives but one thing is peculiar to them all: They all met fierce opposition from humans claiming worshipers of God! Now let's talk about your state of mind. You believe (trust) in the existence of God and you also agreed that both Noah, Moses and Jesus were God's representatives during their time, and you undoubtedly will say you won't join those critics who fiercely opposed them if you happened to be alive as one of their contemporaries. Matthew 23:30 But here you are, after going through all the religions you know you can't find any worthy to associate with except this organization. Yet you're here saying they're wrong one way or another. ![]() What do you think that led humans like you to stand against Noah, Moses and Jesus? Well i'll tell you. Those critics have nothing to say against them than "you are OK and i like you but i will never follow you because you're not God God can use anyone so don't make yourself God's representative before others, there's nobody God cannot use" Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. ![]() That's the only reason why Apostasy develops in people's hearts. You've said it all that you're stupid in your own reasoning so that can't be overemphasized. If you yourself after chatting with me for hours openly confessed that you're stupid then why not help yourself out of stupidity? ![]() Remember Noah, Moses and Jesus were humans like you and i yet God wants His people to take instructions from them, whoever fails to adhere to their instructions will not inherit what God promised. Jesus said that in the last days so many things will happen and because Jesus will not be around physically his faithful disciples living at that dreadful times must be coordinated so Jesus promised that a faithful and discreet slave will emerge and this will continue to feed his disciples with timely spiritual nourishment {Matthew 24:45} then Jesus went on to say this faithful slave will need assistance and the future of all those living by that time depends on how they treat his brothers (the faithful slave) Matthew 25:31-46 You are now telling me to open my mind wide in search of truth yet you're saying of all that you know JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES Organization is still your choice! ![]() Which means if anyone should come to you and ask for the one and only Christian Organization that you can vouch for (since all are imperfect humans) you will say "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" Please try to go and see a psychiatrist quickly because the spirit of rebellion is gradually running you mad. If Noah, Moses, Jesus were humans that walked on this planet and they served as God's representatives during their time. Then the Governing Body of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES Organization that has united people from all races, erased the use of weapons from their hearts and turned them into one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers {Micah 4:1-3} are surely God's representatives in our generation! You yourself can SEE how Jesus is improving the knowledge of this people rapidly, why not go back to your Churches where they're saying God will take everyone to heaven and separate some to be tormented ALIVE in fire? Why choosing the one and only group saying it's either we live forever or return to non-existence? ![]() My friend stop deceiving yourself! ![]() |

MaxInDHouse: I see where this is going, you have resulted to cheap insults. To correct your assumptions about your points above 1. I never said JWs are the only christian body chosen by God, there are so many others but i chose JWs because its my personal choice, deal with it! 2. I never said Noah was appointed by God as a prophet like Jesus and Moses, because unlike Jesus and Moses Noah was no mediator of any covenant. 3. God did not chose anyone to represent Him on earth, but he has his true worshippers who must worship him in truth and in spirit, the word representative is yet again another doctrine not thought by Jesus or the apostles, just like your dedication and governing body. With that being said, Apostacy literally means a massive fallen away from the truth which is what we are experiencing now! No single christian body is currently standing in the truth including JWs which is why i don't attend any organised worship, everyone have fallen! Like i advised you earlier on, don't be too emotional about religion, approach it with an open mind and speak in a language that befits anyone claiming to be christian. I come in peace! 1 Like |

falseprophet:It's not a matter of insults my guy, sit down with two persons and try to explain just as you're doing now regarding JWs and your choice over all other groups. Come back and tell me the result. You refused to address the point regarding what God will do about faithful ones and unrepentant sinners. JWs said their God will not roast anyone, it's either you continue enjoying life forever or you return to non-existence. Others are saying God will take good ones to heaven (based on their faith) and start roasting wrongdoers alive forever. Why not address this? ![]() 2. I never said Noah was appointed by God as a prophet like Jesus and Moses, because unlike Jesus and Moses Noah was no mediator of any covenant.Do i call Noah a prophet? Guy, i said he was God's representative in his own generation just like Moses and Jesus. God asked Noah to build an Ark, then Noah must PREACH (tell everyone what God is about to do) whoever wants to live must join Noah in building the Ark with faith that soon everyone except those with Noah will die. For your information that's why Jesus likens our time to Noah's time. Luke 17:26-27 God has used the Governing Body of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES to build one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers out of imperfect and sinful humans from all the nations. Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3 You conscientiously testified to this fact when you say of all the religions around you JWs is your choice. So you can't twist what you've said! ![]() 3. God did not chose anyone to represent Him on earth, but he has his true worshippers who must worship him in truth and in spirit, the word representative is yet again another doctrine not thought by Jesus or the apostles, just like your dedication and governing body.Since his Apostles (Governing Body) will continue to shepherd God's flock {Ephesians 4:11} Jesus promised that God's Holy Spirit will lead them into all truth {John 14:26, 16:12-13} therefore a wise individual will observe whatever God's people does because it might be part of the NEW THINGS the holy spirit is teaching them. If such things is working out what is fine in the midst of God's people {Philippians 4:8; James 2:18-26}} then you've got nothing to say against it! Galatians 5:23b With that being said, Apostacy literally means a massive fallen away from the truth which is what we are experiencing now! No single christian body is currently standing in the truth including JWs which is why i don't attend any organised worship, everyone have fallen!Apostates are people that come out and stand in opposition against an organized religion only to end up as critics without any setting nor arrangement {1Corinthians 14:33} the result is they will continue to wander around without being specific with their faith. Luke 11:23 God word refer to such individuals as the "SEA" {Isaiah 57:20} and they will not be with us in Paradise! Revelations 21:1 Like i advised you earlier on, don't be too emotional about religion, approach it with an open mind and speak in a language that befits anyone claiming to be christian. I have heard you loud and clear but keeping your advice for those who believe God is not capable of organizing his people in an orderly manner {John 17:22} i believe that a supreme being must have a well organized group having the same line of thought regarding sacred matters {1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3} so if you're of the opinion that your God is a failure then know that mine is the Almighty who has promised {Zephaniah 3:9} and His words must surely come true!

MaxInDHouse: My major point of disagreement with you and the rest of JWs is how you guys manage to import strange doctrines into your teachings and exult it above what is clearly written. Why will God need a human representative when is omni present and omni potent? 2 Chronicles 16:9 - For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him... He does not need you or your governing body to represent Him! He searches the heart of man and see those who are his true followers. You cannot use a strange doctrine to determine anyone's salvation Okay... words such as ransom sacrifice, grace, repentance and baptism are clear teachings of the bible, but words like dedication, God's representatives, governing body are strange to the body of Christ. 2 Likes |

Before anyone comes into a thread the first thing that attracts him/her is the topic of discussion.

Or "I've heard a lot about them please can you tell me what is the difference between them and other (Christians)?" Or "They're the best in this or that, but there are some things i don't like about them. Can you explain?" But coming on social media to say "all religions are worthless and if i later decides to associate with people practicing worthlessness i have my own choice, but there are certain things i will not accept in their worthless practices" Please how does that sound? ![]() I will always glorify Jehovah for directing His people to my house! ![]() 1 Like |

For over 5yrs i studied with you guys and i know enough to make up my mind to quit, i can think for myself. You guys go into peoples homes like harmless sheeps who cannot hurt a fly, but the moment anyone opens his doors and allow you in morethan once, you enter not only his house but into his life to tell him what to believe and what not, what to read, how he prays, and how to view non-JWs. Before you know it you guys will go further into initiating them through an oath called "dedication" disguised as a promise made to God, in reality they threaten you with it anytime you go out of line in not doing everything governing body says including killing your life's ambitions, giving hours of your time preaching and sometimes make you quit your job to become a fulltime pioneer! From a simple knock on the door someone lost his life and freewill.

Splinz: You will need to check the second baptismal question of that religious organization to see how the organization goes about its operation. In their study aid you have a chapter that states your dedication and baptism is not to an ORGANIZATION. But below is the second baptismal question Do you understand that your baptism identifies you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with Jehovah’s organization. Your yes to this question is key as anyone that states clearly that he does not want to be a member of that religious organization under the spotlight here but will readily study with them in the eyes of the ORGANIZATION is a waste of time by those conducting those studies. Your yes equally requires you to follow directions that are not STRATEGIC or made sense from human standpoint should you value your SALVATION.
