Why not go to their website to confirm what they believe: http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20090401/is-jesus-god/

They don't believe in the trinity and they don't believe Jesus is equal to God

I believe you found that article in the link interesting and detailed enough. I have also responded to your prevouse post. Please take these information serously

Jesus remains the beginning of the CREATION By God - Rev 3:14

Keep ignoring john 14

alexis:


Where in the Bible did it say Jesus was created?

please read colossians 1:13-20. Especially verse 15.it show that Jesus was craeted he had a begining,but no where in the bible is GOD described like that

To me,they're the best christians in the world. Also,i have learned a lot from those that come to my house

P.S:WE ARE NOT PERFECT!

Esdb3:


You forgot to add.

1. You party too but think birthdays are profane.

They know their birthday, but don't celebrate it. Is anything wrong about that? Should such celebration be a religious matter?

2. A jehovah witness will rather listen to kenderick lamar than to a don moen song even though don moen sings of God.

They are selective in their choice of music and other forms of entertainment. That God is mentioned in a song is not enough reason for one to like it.

3. You don't celebrate Christmas over paganistic history but you go to church on sunday. How hypocritical.

They don't judge any day of the week over the other. They can go to church and evangelism in any day of the week. This has nothing to do with Christmas or any pagan celebration. Days were not created by pagans, and do not belong to them.

4. A jehovah witness does not believe miracles can happen.

Wrong! They may even believe in miracles than you do, for miracles happen daily.

5. A jehovah witness sees every other Christian as 'the world' christ preached about.

Who is a Christian, one that professes to be one? Even among the witnesses, any that is not Christ-like, is worldly. Witnesses do not discriminate or prejudice.

6. A jehovah witness thinks saluting the flag is wrong even though Jesus asked us to give caesar what belongs to him.

Not all that Caesar demands belongs to Caesar.

7. a jehovah witness thinks praying to God in Jesus name means 'acknowledging that your prayer has ended'.

No! They believe the moment you say 'amen', which must come once, signals the prayer has ended. However, all their prayers are also presented to God in Jesus name.

8. A jehovah witness believes you won't burn in hell as punishment on reason of John's words opposing Jesus's statements. And even though there was a clear scenario of 'the rich man burning in hell asking for water' the jehovah witness believes you won't be punished in hell.

It's either man will be rewarded with eternal LIFE or eternal DEATH. See John 3:16 and ponder over it.

You call Jesus' parable a clear scenario? So hell & heaven are within distance of communication? A finger can as well extend from heaven to hell with a drop of water on it? I keep cutting my cap for the witnesses. They know the import of this parable.

9. The jehovah witness see enlisting in the army has sinful even though God supported the Israelis in war.

And also supported war in the Christian era? If yes, give a scriptural reference.

When Christ disarmed peter he was disarming the entire would-be Christians. Read about Peter disarmament, meditate on it and share what you learn. Can you imagine Christians killing themselves in the name of war?

10. A jehovah witness does not believe charles found them. One of the biggest bull shits in the history of bull shits.

All true Christians have only one funder and leader - Christ. However, Charles was pivotal to emerging of present day witnesses, whose long line of faithful witness can be traced to Abel in the bible.

11. A jehovah witness prefers to see their kids unhappy than to let them marry from the christian fold apart from their cult.

Thank you.

No matter your state or country of origin, they can form marriage alliance with you, provided it is in the lord.

And oh! The Jehovah witness don't believe Jesus is God and God is Jesus even though Jesus made the statement.

Here you sound a bit unclear and ambiguous. Man, even animal can be described and worshiped as a God. Witnesses believe there is only one almighty God, Jesus' father. Are they wrong?

And finally they don't believe in going to heaven. They actually think this sinful earth will be everybody's paradise when the bible made it clear - we will catch up with the lord in the air..

They believe few will be taken to the heaven, but will be kings ruling with Christ over the majority that will be on earth. This belief of their is in accord with various scriptures. See matt. 5:3 & 5. Will you only take what verse 3 says and reject 5? Please, can you explain 2 Peter 3:13 below:
'13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. - KJV

The only thing good about them is that they are not these churches that preach wealth and bullshit but in the end they are all going to hell. For not accepting Jesus as worthy of worship is one good reason.... Father forgive me for judging.

Jehovah's witnesses do not judge others.

bro with ur signature i can see dat u r a fan of hiphop tho i quite agree dat school boyQ IS BETTER DAN LAMAR BUH PLS DNT CALL D KING OF NEW YORK OVERATED OOO ABEGII

Listen Jo, for this very reason in the near future JWs' will be targeted by the world powers or governments, many would refuse to pay their allegiance to any government on earth or any flag, and as a result JWs' would suffer horrendous oppression and persecution. Hope when that time comes Jo you'll help a brother.

joseph1832:
I find the number 7 on that list a gross slap! How can one not pledge his/her allegiance to his/her country? If you ask me, I believe the JW should come together and get a country of their own, saying they don't salute the flag or pledge allegiance to their country is showing gross disrespect!.

The anticipated coming of Christ or ressurection of the patriarchs in 1914,1919,1975 e.t.c were just speculations..Those who did anything to "prepare" for that did that at their own cost and risk.
Even Jesus did not tell his disciples when the end would come(those speculations were a link to the world's end).He said that only the "Father",Jehovah God knew when the world would come.Even Jesus did not know.So if anyone carried a news of the world's end,it was a mis-speculation

alexis:


I can answer that question like this - In Revelation 1:8: It says, I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty". Is that Jehovah God or Jesus?

.please my brother could you read colossian 1:13-20 please.look out verse 15.Jesus had a begining he is the first to be created but the almighty does not that set the records straight

Esdb3:


Straight declaration by whom? John. Who we believe was inspired by whom? God.

So now his words against Jesus who is whom? Who was where before the earth was made?



You didn't see "read john 14 5-11"

. Please compare Rev 3:14 with col 1:13-20 see verse 15.a note that Jesus has a begining he was the firstborn of all creation through him all other things were created.stop arguing

MVLOX:

check well please .....we believe in Hell but not Hell fire

CORRECT

Esdb3:


Keep ignoring john 14

John 14 paints a word picture of two individuals - father and son.

They have oneness of purpose, and are always in agreement with each other.

One represents the other. Thus, seeing the son is the same as seeing his father, whom he perfectly represent.

hmmmm2015:


Where are the Jehovah's witness on this forum to answer the questions I've raised? Especially those of you that have been trained in Bethel . I'm challenging you to answer these questions oooo

. Let me talk on the so-called failed predictions. It is true that JWs had had some failed expectations. But is that enough to discredit them? Proverbs 4:18 says that the path of the righteous one gets brighter and brighter. Even Jesus' trained apostles had some failed expectations (Acts 1:6,7; 1Cor 13:9-12). The bible shows that God enables his servants to understand his purpose in a progressive manner.(Daniel 12:8,9; 1Pet. 1:10-12). The bible also shows that there would be great increase in knowledge in the time of the end( Daniel 12: 4). You would agree that increased knowledge often requires adjustments in one's thinking and JWs are willing and humble to make such adjustments, which includes the long realization of the fact that no one knows the hour this world will end. I think it would be unfair to discredit them for some mistaken expectations, because for one thing, they have helped millions of people to come to appreciate so many bible truths, which of course I think you know some. Discrediting them is just like discredting a respected and knowledgeable professor just because he makes one or two blunders which he accepts as his wrong. What about other things he's been doing? Food for thought, right?

JW, I respect these people. I read their publications regularly

Adeboye, Oyedepo dem? I care NOT! Pure unadulterated deceit

joxxy01:
may be u should see mathew 1:23

maybe u should tink if d almighty God has a beginning

herald9:


If I ever become a theist, I will be a JW

Me too.

I will never listen to Oyakhilome, Oyedepo dem. Laye!

Nnaabros:


I believe those texts addressed all your questions. When attempting to explain the Bible, we refer to the original meanings of expressions in the original language in which the Bible was written-Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, to get the original sense. Even if you refuse to agree with any other point, at least you must agree that Jesus is not ALMIGHTY GOD. yes, he is a god because he has a divine nature. The Bible calls him MIGHTY GOD, not ALMIGHTY. Only the father is referred to as ALMIGHTY and both of them are two different persons--one is the Father and Almighty God, while the other is the son and mighty god

If Jehovah is “the only true God,” what kind of “God” is Jesus?

Jesus himself referred to his Father as “the only true God.” (John 17:3) Jehovah himself said: “Besides me there is no God.” (Isa. 44:6) The apostle Paul wrote that, to true Christians, “there is . . . one God the Father.” (1 Cor. 8:5, 6) So Jehovah is unique; no one else shares his position. Jehovah stands in utter contrast to all such objects of worship as idols, deified humans, and Satan. All these are false gods.

Jesus is spoken of in the Scriptures as “a god,” even as “Mighty God.” (John 1:1; Isa. 9:6) But nowhere is he spoken of as being Almighty, as Jehovah is. (Gen. 17:1) Jesus is said to be “the reflection of [God’s] glory,” but the Father is the Source of that glory. (Heb. 1:3) Jesus in no way seeks the position of his Father. He said: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Luke 4:8 ) He exists “in God’s form,” and the Father has commanded that “in the name of Jesus every knee should bend,” but this is all done “to the glory of God the Father.”—Phil. 2:5-11;

What is the meaning of John 5:18?

John 5:18, RS: “This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.”
It was the unbelieving Jews who reasoned that Jesus was attempting to make himself equal with God by claiming God as his Father. While properly referring to God as his Father, Jesus never claimed equality with God. He straightforwardly answered the Jews: “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing.” (John 5:19, RS; see also John 14:28; John 10:36.) It was those unbelieving Jews, too, who claimed that Jesus broke the Sabbath, but they were wrong also about that. Jesus kept the Law perfectly, and he declared: “It is lawful to do good on the sabbath.”—Matt. 12:10-12, RS.

u've spoken well my bother.it is enough for them Jehovah's day is coming as a thief,a day only himself know which the son is not privy to.so what are we saying let those who have ears hear what the spirit says

bettermike:


9) Their youths are strongly discouraged from attending tertiary institutions. They see university as the institution of the devil.

Their preferred alternative is their evangelical School. Where they believe they will teach what is necessary. What a pity

10) As a man, if you see any of their females that you like and you convert because of her. You are likely to die from food poisoning later into the marriage.

Their members have a bokoharam-like kind of mentality. They act first and think later as long as it is an order from above. Hence, if you beloved wife decides to become fully obedient, she will kill you without thinking twice.

Guys, this is not all o. If you need more, just ask.

Jehova wickedness is devil's clan on earth.

Stay far away from them!. Ever since I knew them well, I don't even allow them to say a word before I ask them to leave.

I might say abit about their demography if I have the time.

From all you've written so far i can conclude that you are angry with them because you did something wrong and they chastise you. So you choose to be their opposer, but that will do you no good. The better thing for you is to correct your mistakes and do the needful.
JW is the only religious organization that do not sell religion to you but will offer to help you learn about God free of charge. Love for God and our neighbour is the driving force begind our selfless servic.
Being a Jehovah's witness is a journey and not a destination like other religiouw grp teach. It is also a privulege you can lose if you don't keep up with bible standard. So if you have be chastised, i encourage you to think back and do the needful.

You veru well know that majority of what you wrote are lies, only very few are twisted truth.

1 out of every 455 Nigerians is a Jehovah's witness and 1 out of every 262 Americans.

This is not true, though

gidjah:
this this is one of there biggest trouble and short fall.my best female friend is a lecturer and a JW too,but they are more like antichrist than pro Christ.Once you have reservations about the person of Christ,then you are an antichrist,period .

Have you ever for once read and ponder carefully on Revelation 3:14 where Jesus himself said he is the beginning of the creation of God.
What did you think he meant by that statement?
Do you think he made mistake?
If Jesus can say that about himself why do you people attribute what he himself did not claim to him?

What I coincidence? I saw one of their publication hung on the gate today.

I enjoyed reading "Awake"

Their magazines are awesome, no doubt. I've lived with some of them and I have them as friends.They are wonderful set of people though. Let's be honest, they are biased in many ways.
1. They don't sing any other Christian songs even hymns and they expect you to sing their's.
2. They claim their magazines are free but when it's given to you, a donation is expected and if you decline you are given this evil look. I've seen instances where you won't be given any if you won't donate.
3. They have ridiculous rules.
4. They read the Bible out of context.
5. They claim to know the number of people that will inherit the earth.

i dont get u sir

jesussaves22:
Jehova witness are anti christ quote me any where.... They are evil. The love the things of the world very much. They dont believe in heaven. They are founded by rusell who is a member of freemansry. Google on rusell doctrine and post rusell doctrine. Read the interview of Rusell wife after rusell was buried. Read of the symbol in rusell grave and check the symbol use by church of satan. And the symbol in awake.... Do you know why michael jackson left jehova witness?

Funny
Michael Jackson didn't leave. he was disfellowshipped on the account of this music videos which portrays belief in the occult
and of humans transforming into demons and tormenting fellow humans. Such a belief is contrary to what the Bible preaches, cos even the Bible said, anyone practicing spiritism should not be found among God's people.
Please get your facts right, for even Michael Jackson even added a disclaimer to his video Thriller, that he doesnt support occultism
but how come you dont' support something, but spend millions of dollars to promote it via music video
Please think well, sir
Thank you

emmysoftyou:
yes there re more questions.
Why is that jehovah witness people dont believes that there is HEll fire? Why?

Just imagine you have 2 lovely kids, a boy and a girl
Unfortunately, the boy proves stubborn in his way. How do yo correct him?
Do you correct him by pouring fuel on him and burning him alive?
Then, what have you achieved if u burned him alive ?

Dats a lie

Tell me 1 of their doctrines and were it contradicts the bible

I will tell u urz and hw it contradicts d bible

Correct.. I love being a Jehovah's witness

alexis:


Several things you don't know about Jehovah witnesses:

1. Many of their founders have predicted the world would come to an end several times - It didn't. These are actual Jehovah witness publications. They predicted the end of the world and the time Jesus would began his rule in 1878, 1914. They have made several other predictions that haven't come to pass. The Bible said you will know a false prophet based on the predictions he made. If he says something and it doesn't come to pass, that prophet was never from God.
2. They claim that only 144,000 people will go to heaven. The Bible never claimed only 144,000 will go to heaven. This is another false statement.
3. They always change their stance on blood transfusion - they have banned it for several years, now they are allowing it, later then will change it.
4. They teach that Jesus was just a man while on earth. While in heaven He was and is, Michael the Archangel. The Bible never claimed such
5. The reject and deny the trinity

There are so many things that JW differ with biblical Christian belief. That being said, I respect them and their dedication - others can learn from it

Jehovah's witness have never changed their stance on blood transfusion . . As a matter of fact, I have a close relation who refused and went ahead to take blood and she is suffering the consequence today, medically.
Yes only 144,000 will ascend to heaven to reign as priests . . and yes, the Bible even said it ..
12,000 from the 12 tribes . . . and it even mentioned al the tribes, 12,000 x 12 = 144000
i will get the verses for you when I am home . . thank you
