1.
Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in heaven.
Apparently, this is not a new saying as people tend to say what they might have heard about the Witnesses not scrutinizing them whether or not they are truth.

.
Truth: Jehovah's Witnesses believe in heaven as the residence of the Creator of the Universe.
.
2. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in hell.
.
Truth: This is where people misunderstand themselves. Jehovah's Witnesses believe 'Hell' is the common grave of mankind. Witnesses do not believe in 'hell fire' as it is unbiblical, unless you'll show me where the original sinners -- Adam and Eve -- went to 'hell fire.'
.
3.
Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate anything.
.
Truth: If you mean holidays like birthdays, Christmas etc., of course yes. Think: what is the relevance of Santa Claus in the bible? Do they or not have pagan origins? In fact, Witnesses commemorate the Death of Jesus as Jesus asked his disciples to do.
.
4. Myth: Jehovah's Witness do not speak in tongues.
.
Truth: Well, Jehovah's Witnesses speak many languages as they come from differing lands but do not involve in the ecstatic speaking performed today by religious leaders. The first century Christians who received the gift used it to preach to people (as the early congregants were filled with people from many lands), so they spoke a language and all who heard understood. Note: To preach. Is that what is done today? Don't throw caution to the wind.

.
5. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not do blood transfusions and are wicked to see their loved one die.
.
Truth: Witnesses put much faith in doing God's will. Sorry to disappoint you, they love their children and loved ones. In fact, medical practitioners agree that it is not safe either, and no guarantee of living well or surviving as no blood samples really match another. Besides, there are other non-blood media. Coming to think of it, Witnesses put faith in the resurrection. Yes, so why worry of this wicked world?

Jesus denounced NOT his followers Sir but Jews who refused to accept his teachings!
That's why the Jews hate him with passion! smiley
Stop being ahead of yourself, that was a typo and you understood that I meant relatives. Jesus never denounced his relatives inlany way, your church made it up. Wasn't same mary you just said he denounced in front of his disciples that came to his death place? Am done arguing with you guys. It should be known that we all have our belief systems and it is unfair forcing yours on others by the way you guys impinge olinto people's home.

Of a truth J. H do not believe in heaven or hell.

The OP shld stop twisting believes. They believe that heaven ND hell are already happening as those enjoying are already in heaven and those suffering in hell.... They believe That for heaven, God will wipe away all the bad people and the rest will live a peaceful happy life here on earth as the heaven...

The don't believe in the symbol of the cross. They say Jesus died on a pole ND not a cross...

On the speak on tongue... I may b confused on this as to which is Tru... But they don't believe in that

For the celebration, I think they God the concept wrong to trust more in science and archeology..... If a child choose to change his name from what his parents named him :we align with such child ND call him his nu name........ So if the people genuinely can't figure out a date of Jesus birth and death ND choose a day to celebrate those, God sees through their heart and would rightly hear their greet gs and prayers.. J. H is doing over Sabi with proving archeological facts to dis ard Christmas ND easter celebrations...
It's better you be like the people of Thessolonica who not only heard but checked if it was the truth. I told you what we believe in and you who know nothing about my belief said it's a lie. Funny you.

BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL (Capture) YOU THROUGH PHILOSOPHY AND VAIN DECEIT, AFTER THE RUDIMENT OF THE WORLD AND NOT AFTER CHRIST. Col2:8

We cannot understand God and His Words through head knowledge or human logic, no, God is so not a man that you can think for or understand Him through human reasoning; He is a Spirit. God is full of wisdom and wisdom is profitable to direct. What is the rationale behind not transfusing blood to a dying person all because of human ideology.

Parents that lack responsibility and commitment bring more trouble than peace. Their children are inhumane, they lack proper upbringing.
Religion is not our problem, we're our problem. If religion ceased to exist, evil men will use politics, tribalism, regionalism etc to kill and destroy.
Politics has killed more than the number of people religion has killed. Many politician use religion to play politics. If the people of particular region are not religious, politicians use tribalism and others to cause problems for their selfish interests. Boko haram, ISIS etc are all political.
Yet u don't see politics as evil only religion. Politics does not preach morality religion does. Only few people follow the teachings of religion, majority are morally bankrupt, they use religion and politics to achieve their devilish aims and objectives. Blame it on them not religion.




Peace!
You will be wise someday.

The bible establishes a clear difference bw g and G, I believe.... If u want to merge both just to win an argument suit urself.

But I know the bible would never say God of the ammonite.....rather it would use god of the anmonite

I'm not Arguing with you rather I'm teaching you if you are open to learning.

Neither Ancient Hebrew, nor Ancient Greek had uppercase/lowercase letters. (In the Bible, this distinction were added by later translators, according to their own understanding and beliefs).

Again at Isaiah 9:6, I pointed these names for you as originally contained in the bible before translation.

Jesus Christ is prophetically called ʼEl Gib·bohrʹ, “Mighty God” which was used in that particular verse (not ʼEl Shad·daiʹ [God Almighty].

Yes she started putting faith in Jesus when she saw all the prophecies regarding the CHRIST fulfilled in her son's life!

But before then herself and Jesus' junior brothers thought Jesus was mad! Mark 3:21

It was when Jesus saw her from his torture stake that he now realized that Mary has become one of those putting faith in him, so he told John to adopt Mary as his own mother, from that day Mary began living with John {John 19:25-27} because Jesus' brothers by then still holds unto what the Jews thought about Jesus {John 10:20 compare to John 9:22}

So There was a complete breakup between Jesus and his family members because of his teachings! Matthew 10:34-39

That's exactly what you're seeing today in his true followers (Jehovah's Witnesses) Matthew 10:22-25; John 17:14-16

God bless you Sir! smiley

If it would save my life why wouldn't I ?


You don't even have a 100% guarantee to that. My room mate back then, a doctor, espoused his belief in blood transfusion. But one morning he returned from the theatre forlorn. What happened? They transfused a woman with blood and yet the woman died.

You see, whether or not blood really saves life, it is immaterial. We would not take it solely because it violates God's commandment on blood.

I want you to get something a little clear about the JW. Our being JW is not so much about our desire for salvation. Our salvation is secondary to the major universal issue facing mankind. And yes, we believe in our God that if we maintain our loyalty to him he will reward us with even a better life - what the Bible calls the "real life". Do you want to know about the real life?

Abstain from blood sacrificed to idols, the person donating blood wasn't sacrificed to idols. The way you guys twist the bible surprises me that you guys have no fear of God in you.

Is that what you read there? Can you please read that portion in other translations. That scripture clear states we should abstain from blood. Not blood sacrificed to idols.
