5 Things Jehovah's Witnesses Believe But Will Not Tell New Converts by maximunimpact(m): 8:10pm On Jan 01, 2017 |
Growing up i have seen how zealous JWs are in preaching the bible and i have always been fascinated by how they go about it. In 2009 i decided to give a shot at attending their meetings, subsequently i was given a teacher to guide me through their doctrines. While the teaching was going on i became privy of some teachings not in tandem with the bible. Some of these believes among JWs are hidden from their bible students until you are ready for baptism. In some cases new members may never know about this as these sensitive topics are rarely discussed in meetings. So below are five believes among JWs that ordinary eyes cannot see, although they may deny it, but in reality thats what is obtainable; 1. JWs Teach that not all members are in the new covenant of our Lord Jesus: This may not be a surprise to many, but most JWs you see today are not part of the new covenant to which Jesus died for, they believe Christ's sacrificial death is for the "anointed class" of 144,000 that will rule with Christ from heaven. The rest JWs are to benefit from the ransom by associating with the anointed christians. How the rest members not covered by the new covenant gets forgiveness of sins is what still baffles me because without "the blood of the ransome" there is no forgiveness of sins. 2. Not all members are to partake in the memorial: This is known generally as the holy communion elsewhere, JWs believe that not all members will partake in the memorial, it's closely related to the fact that only those in the new covenant can partake, as a result majority alive today are not permitted to partake. 3. Jesus does not mediate for majority of JWs: There is only one mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), but according to JWs teachings, Jesus mediate for only 144,000 christians, today JWs believe that among the 144,000, only less than 10,000 are alive today. These anointed class are represented by the governing body in America. It is these faithful and discrete slaves that mediate for the rest members. You must pledge your allegiance to them before you are allowed to baptise. 4. JWs must believe in 1914: this year is believed to be the year Jesus's second coming took place, they teach that Christ assumed his duty as king over the earth. All new members are expected to believe in this teaching before baptism in addition to "dedicating" yourself to Jehovah. The 1914 teaching is the foundation on which JWs was founded, not accepted it makes any member apostate. How they arrive at that date has been proven false time and time again. 5. Majority of the epistles in the new testament are addressed to anointed christians: This one appeared very weird at first, most of Paul's letters and other epistles by the apostles are addressed to the anointed 144,000 christians, but the rest are expected to live by it anyways. 1 Like |

The most confused people who profess to the Jewish god and Jesus (whoever he is) are Jehovah's witnesses followed by the group who call themselves the Grail Movement that follow the Grail Message by Abd Ru Shin. I think it's important to state that I've read the three volumes of the Grail Message and I still baffle at the shamelessness of the people who follow it's warped teachings. Same with Jehovah's witnesses who have graduated to all time award winners of deception. 3 Likes |

true2god:yes, so there is no need denying what maximuinmpact is saying if it were true. he has an idea but he is just mixing it up in a manner that makes it untrue. |

maximunimpact:1. Jesus sacrificial death is not for the 144,000 it's for every human now living on earth, including the 144,000 2. Jesus mediates for everyone he died for in point 1 again, including the 144,000 no one goes to the father except thru Jesus so, he is all of our mediator as long as we pray thru his name 3. Christ did not assume rulling over d earth in 1914, Christ rulership has not been extended to the earth yet, if not buhari, or Trump or puttin will not be ruling anywhere, neither will suffering and hardship pesist 4. majority of the epistles as u call it written by Paul was not written to the 144,000 rather his most letters were addressed to congregations he overseerd during his missionary tour. those congregation include but 144,00 and everyone in it. so Sir, der is no segregation between the 144,000. we see ourselves as all under Christ until the final sealing so Sir, get your facts right. am not at liberty now to give u concise scriptures but u can visit our website www.jw.org or u can PM me, wen am less busy we can chat so u get more info. aside DAT. ur facts ain't correct 1 Like |
