Are Jehovah's Witnesses Qualified To Teach The Bible?

I have never in over forty years in the wt seen ANYONE brought into the organization with a Bible alone.

Never, ever, never, ever, never, ever, never, never.

I remember once last year I was working what amounts to seldom worked territory up near Three Rivers, CA. I went to a door with an older brother and the person who answered asked a similar question. Could he and his wife learn from us using only the Bible? He asked because he had been burned by organized religion and had faith only in the KJV.The brother said, "SURE!" and I looked at him like he was nuts.

LOL

He set a time to go back and placed a brochure with him and told him to read it and he would be back in 3-4 days to review it with him.When we got back to the car so we could drive off to the next ranch, I asked him if he would bring me back because I wanted to be able to teach with only the Bible. Know what that old bastard said? He told me that he was not coming back. He told me to come back on my own if I wanted to but that I better bring the Bible Teach book. He said the Bible alone was going to lead those poor folks into trinitarian teachings and that I could wiggle the book in after a couple of visits.

I have known other folks who got really freaked out when the person at the door refused the wt or other publication and asked for us to use only the Bible. Seems most JWs are totally unqualified to teach the Bible. Hell, I can even remember back in the 1980s having Bible Verse games where someone reads a text and we have to say the book, chapter and verse. I was ok at it, but most everyone else sucked bad at it. I usually came in 2nd and one older sister won like 99.9% of the time....

JWs IMHO are totally dependant on wt publications and would fail miserably to explain any verse from the Bible without being able to flip open a watchtower or other book they publish.....

A Prayer Request For All Of Jehovah's Witnesses

These people have been truly blinded by satan and his watchtower organization. I am asking everyone to please pray for these lost lambs of Christ and beg the Lord to open their eyes and hearts so they can accept and serve Him.

________________________________________________________________________

Lord God, our Heavenly Father. We approach you in the name of your Son, Christ Jesus to beg that your Kingdom comes and is made to be fully powerful here on earth like it is in the heavens above us. We pray that you open the eyes of those in this world who are blind to Jesus. Especially Jehovah's Witnesses. These poor souls have been led astray by Satan and his watchtower organization. We pray you bring them to You and open their eyes. Show them the Light of precious Jesus and show them the Way to life everlasting. We beg forgiveness of our sins and errors and leave all things in your mighty hands, in Jesus' all powerful name. Amen.

JWs Destroying One Generation After Another

My mother in law is a regular pioneer. She has been one for almost twenty years now. I had the misfortune of being trapped into a conversation with her and a drunken, abusive pioneer/elder wannabe last night. They went on and on about how close we are to the end we can smell it now. She brought up how so many of the brothers & sisters are starting to pioneer now and are focusing all of their resources on the ministry. The kids especially are lining up in droves, choosing to pioneer instead of go to college.

I was nodding my head and trying to find a legitimate reason to dart off so I would avert my gag reflex from going into overdrive. All the while I was remembering how back in 1969 the society printed this in the May 22, 1969 Awake! on page 15:

" If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. Of the generation that observed the beginning of the 'last days' in 1914, Jesus foretold:'This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.' Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers."


Those are some powerful statements aren't they? Man, if I was a teen back in 69 I would have probably jumped to pioneer too. What a scary and awesome time to live in! How old are these people who were never to grow old in this present system of things? They are about 60 years old now!

Never grow old in this system...INDEED!


I also remember how back in the early to mid 1970's the Watchtower was preaching annhilatition, armageddon, and impending doom to arrive in 1975, and how many sold their homes, and other possessions in order to support their full-time preaching of the end of the world. The end never came and many of the people who sold all of their things were ruined financially.

Don't get me wrong, I feel that a person should give their all to Christ's Kingdom. However, to do so because an organization that is selling books puts unfair demands on people is wrong in my opinion. But, that is the story of the Watchtower then isn't it. Hasn't this group's greed pushed them to scare and bully people into believing their doom and gloom, "The End Is So Close We Can Smell It" routine for over 100 years?

It really indicates to me how they are not working in concert with God or His Holy Spirit. They MUST use nihilism to terrorize their adherents in order to get them out pushing their lies and more importantly, their literature. Nothing is more important than bringing money to lay at the altar of the governing body.

My mother in law brings in a lot of "Contributions", which attests to her diligence in the field service. She has not brought in a single soul to their so-called truth in over 12 years. Which in actuality is a good thing, but really...where is the fruit of her labors? Oh yes, the contributions. The cost of this fruit is too high in my opinion. She neglects her husband (my wifes dad) by either leaving him home alone or by calling him a Pharisee because he cannot attend meetings anymore. Even right after his most recent heart attack she took off to go preach.

Why? Because she said it is because needs to make her "Hours" and because "Armageddon is almost here!!!!". Actually, I think it is because she loves to fight with people too. She told me that she loves nothing more than to argue with people at their doors and have them call her an idiot, so she can get good and mad. No wonder the JWs in this world are so depressed, scared, and full of hate. They are being motivated by fear instead of Love For Their Neighbor when they go out to preach.

Today we have another generation of young people that is being denied an education, the ability to interact socially, and to get close to Christ Jesus because of being raised by blind parents to serve the Watchtower cult. Another generation is being destroyed by false teachings and greed. I think it is important that they be prayed for and that Jesus take hold of their futures. Don't they deserve a chance to hear from Jesus and make up their own minds about how they will live their lives?

I made a video about the kids from the 60s & 70s who are now being discarded by the wt because they are getting old. It is linked here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrH8kpexihk or you can find it in my video section above on the right hand panel. It is titled, "Serve Jehovah In Your Youth" Check it out when you have a few minutes.

Rutherford Ties Jehovah's Witnesses With NWO Illuminati

I have been reading a lot in respect to the JWs New Order and the New World Order that President Bush Sr. talked about. It seems to me like both are pointing to a global extermination of the vast majority of humanity and an elite group will survive and make earth a paradise.

David Icke is the speaker in this video. It is a couple of hours long, so watch it when you can spend some time at it.

No More Pearls Before Swine

I have been engaging JWs in online debates at Yahoo Answers for a few months now. Originally I was seeking their help. Help to dispel my deepest and most dreadful doubts about this organization called Watchtower. Help to make my life feel like it was not completely wasted in service to a bunch of greedy sons of bitches sitting on God's throne in Brooklyn, NY. I was rebuffed as an apostate and shunned when not insulted and made to feel one inch tall by my supposed brothers in the faith.

I have been pretty angry over the way things have gone for me in respect to the watchtower. My folks and indeed my entire family have been shit upon from the beginning. My folks bless their hearts felt like they had no where else to go, so we remained locked into the counter productive routine of bringing people into the organization without really believing it was the truth.

I have decided to leave the tower of confusion and hate and go after Jesus Christ. I have been asking JWs questions online to make them think. What I get back is hate, anger, and sarcasm. There is no hope for people who are brainwashed. They cannot be made to think for themselves. I understand, because I was once like that. What I will do now as far as Yahoo Answers goes is respond to questions by people seeking the truth. I may get put down or voted off, but I will do my part to shed light on this dark tower and its evil ways. I will no longer throw pearls to the online watchtower swine. I will pray for them and help those who want help. It is all I can do. And in all actuality, isn't prayer in Jesus name the very best anyone can offer?

An Open Letter To Jehovah's Witnesses

I did not write this letter. I do feel it is worth sharing with the world because it contains the heartfelt description of the Wathtower from the point of view of a JW.

AN OPEN LETTER TO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES

You may not remember, but I know you very well. I met you a long time ago when you came to my house with your smiling faces, your neat clothes, and your soft voices and a Bible tucked neatly under your arm. You told me many beautiful stories of a "paradise earth," and a "righteous new system" which would be established shortly. You beguiled me; I listened and I let you teach me your form of Christ-dignity.

I loved you, I devoted most of my life to you, I was loyal and obedient, never realizing that one day I would come to disagree with everything you had to say. When I first met you and learned of the "paradise," little did I know that in order to get to that paradise, I would have to walk over the dead bodies of beloved family, cherished friends, and casual acquaintances, because they didn't want to be Jehovah's Witnesses. With your soft, sweet voices, and gentle manner, you convinced me that everything and everyone who did not agree with you was "evil." I came to believe that other churches were bad and of the devil, and so were their members. I became convinced that all the governments were wicked, including my own, and that I was not to support the country in which I lived. I believed you; I loved you, trusted you, and served you and never suspected that you were capable of deceiving me.

I loved you so much that I raised my precious children as Jehovah's Witnesses. I taught them that you were trustworthy and true followers of God and Jesus. I trained them to believe your every word. How could I have known that in the future you would steal my own flesh and blood from my arms and prevent them from seeing me because I would come to disagree with you? I never noticed the fangs of oppression and tyranny that lurked behind those gentle smiles. I never knew that I would be expected to hand over my mind, soul, and spirit to you, and if I were to ever want them back, you would hold my children as hostages and no amount of begging and tears would release them from your grip because they had been raised to look at you as being God, rather than mere men.

When I came to you, I was young and pretty and impressionable, looking for a relationship with God, my Creator. But through slick words and empty speeches you convinced me that I was not really a child of God, that my duty was to the organization-that THEY would tell me what to do and how to think. Through years of domination and manipulation I began to accept the meager food that was being offered to me, and became willing to accept it as the true "spiritual" food from the Master, while all the time feeling the gnawing at my body. Finally, I discovered that I had been robbed of my joy, my love, my compassion, and my mercy, and it was replaced with legalistic doctrinal formula which provided me with fear, guilt, and anxiety to fill my hunger. When I said, "I want more than this," you slapped me with your soft little hand, which had now turned into an iron fist of oppression. Yes, you fooled me all along; your deception was because you had been fooled too, a long time ago, by others who had taken you captive to their dictatorial reign of terror. You convinced me that the words of men were the words of God because you really thought it was true. I believed you because you were gentle, soft spoken, and carried the Bible tucked under your arm.

You told me that you had "freedom" and it was only later, when I tried to escape your brand of "freedom" that I discovered that the iron bars of the gate had been shut and I was at your mercy because, by this time, you had already gained control of my mind and my emotions. I cried and begged you to please let me go, and you said, with your firm, roaring voice, "not until I have stripped you naked" and you did. You stripped me of my dignity, my self-respect, my honor, and my FAMILY! You told all my family and friends that I was demonic, evil, an apostate, a spiritual fornicator, and good for nothing but total destruction by your angry God whom you had tried to pass off as a God of "love." They believed you, and they still believe you, because their eyes are blinded by the promise of "paradise" and they cannot "see" the Hell that surrounds them. The ever illusive "paradise" is held out to the gullible like a carrot in front of the nose of a rabbit, and causes them to sacrifice their family, friends, careers, education, hopes and dreams on the altar of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

Now I'm older, now I'm wiser, but now it is too late- life is fast slipping away. Through my tears, I cry out for my beautiful daughter and grandchildren, but you grip them tighter and tighter and tell them that YOU will be their "mother." And so you are, and so you are! I begged to recapture my honor and my dignity, but you laughed with your bright, shining teeth, and said, "No way, you're on your own." Somehow those soft, pretty words weren't soft and pretty anymore, but words of slander, abuse, hatred, and hostility- and you said them in such a way that others would think that you were righteous and I was evil. You lied about me, but no one will believe you LIED because they trust you-that's because you are soft spoken, gentle, and carry a Bible tucked neatly under your arm.

Physical Abuse By Jehovah's Witnesses At Theocratic Meetings

I got my tail kicked in a lot as a kid. But I was a bad kid most of the time so I can't point fingers at my folks. They did the best they could with what they knew and so I will say that I was not abused. When I was growing up in the 1970s in the cancer known as the watchtower, I saw LOTS of kids get abused. Not just swatted or whupped. I mean angry and hateful abuse. Little kids being dragged to the back of the hall screaming for mercy and having their faces smashed and breathing stifled under the quieting hand of their mother.

I saw police come to the hall once, because a kid was being a kid and his dad, to avoid disrupting the meeting dragged him outside. We had these amber colored, semi opaque windows on the side of the hall where we saw the dance of discipline being carried out between a son and his father's belt. The wt conductor actually lost his train of thought and paused for a while in shock at the severity of the beating. The cops were called by a neighbor. Sonofabitch got arrested too, because the cops saw him wailing the crap out of the poor kid. How old was this kid who got whipped so badly? About 2 years old.....

At the same hall one sister was known for her brutality. she didn't have a family, she had a LITTER of kids. This oldbitch sat in the middle of her kids up near the front of the hall always. If they got out of lline she would slap them across the face or their laps with a skinny-belt. Whap-Pow! Once I cracked up after she hit one of them and she turned around and glared at me, then she shook that damned belt at me.....My shi* ran cold.

Yet another time at the bookstudy, this sister had a bunch of kids and they lived in a tiny apartment. They also had a large dog she had chained to the bathroom doorknob. I think it was a German shepard. Well, about halfway thru the study of "Then is finished the Mystery Of God" her littlest girl got up and started dancing and slapping the books out of our hands. I started to laugh out loud and eventually the brother asked the sister to please do somethign about her daughter. Well, she got up and took her to the bathroom and wailed the livingshit outta her. We could here the thuds from how she was hitting her on the back with a closed fist. Then she took the dog''s chain and strapped the girl down to her chair with it. Then the dog went around the room licking everybody's face and crotch.

These are just a couple that I saw back in the 1970s from my own, kids-eye-view. What I got by being kicked in the tail and whipped with a belt and an electrical cord was nothing compared to these things that happened during theocratic meetings.

See, the society stressed the importance of the meetings. Nothing could be allowed to interrupt a meeting. Once a brother told my dad that if a hand grenade was tossed through a window, that a brother should jump on it and save everyone. Then the meeting should go on uninterrupted. That is psychotic to me. But the mentality continues to this day. Just last summer an elderly lady collapsed at the district assembly. The talker continued with his droning as paramedits treated
her for a heart attack. No announcement was made about her condition, not even a prayer for her was made...

The Way?

In all my years I have never heard that the WTs has ever referred itself to "The Way" like 1st century disciples refered to their belief system as "The Way". The Bible also refers to 1st century disciples as Christians. I called my mom back in Albuquerque and she told me she never has heard it either. She did remind me of how some refer to brothers as "The Friends" and how the society calls the organization the "Truth". But does not recall any reference to "The Way".

Claiming Apostolic succession and all, I would assume that the JW would use a term used by the apostles. I wonder why they do not. Could it be because The Lord Jesus is denying them the name?

July 1, 2008 WT Lies About The Divine Name

More lies from the Watchtower. This time they are claiming that Jesus prayed using the Divine Name (YHWH). an elder I know who is doubting the WT has researched it and found NO BIBLICAL PROOF of this claim. Not in the NWT, Not in the Emphatic Diaglott, and not in the Kingdom Interlinear.

The WT knows no bounds. Here is the scam of page 30 for you to see for yourself.

JWs Stumbling People With Their Online Misbehavior

I was offered additional privleges at my hall and when I declined, apparently something in my way of declining prompted a visit from the presiding and service overseers. We went over the typical chit chat and the p.o. actually told me that Jesus is a S.O.B.

Meaning that his gardener Jesus (HaySoos)was lazy and overcharges him. It was on the hinge of blasphemy I thought, but oh well. Anyway, we got to talking and I explained to them the crap that the WTS has been doing and how I can no longer in good faith follow along. I also mentioned that a tiny part of the reason was how when I approched other JWs online with the issues I had I was met with hateful and very ugly comments. Highly unchristian responses were the norm rather than the exception.

Well the elders were not very convinced by my claims, so I took them online and showed them the questions I posted and the crap the so-called JWs were spewing from their asses. They were both shocked but the service overseer said nothing. The p.o. was very vocal and said these comments were a stumbling block to not only me but to anyone who might read them. Before I closed my browser he aske me to email him the links to the evil comments.

He mentioned wanting to run some counsel about internet posts in an upcoming Local Needs Talk. But from what I gather, those are pretty much scripted at Broolyn and have more to do with kicking the publishers until they go to the doors more and more. I thought his comments were interesting, though and wanted to share them here. What do you think? Do JWs do more harm than good to the organiation by going online and venting their hate for questions?

Totalitarian watchtower Society FORCES Millions To Not Vote.

It never ceases to amaze me how the WT and its fanatical members keep on denying that there is not any pressure from the organization to do this or that or not do this or that. Below is part of a story that tells us how the WT FORCES people like the Williams sisters to not vote even theough they support Obama.

Tennis star SERENA WILLIAMS is rooting for BARACK OBAMA to become America's next president, even though her religion forbids her from voting.
Williams and her sister Venus are among several million Jehovah's Witnesses in the U.S. who are forced to remain politically neutral and restricted from taking part in elections.

Jehovah's Witness Pioneers In Foot Fetish Video

I heard a rumor and checked it out. Apparently a foot fetish video producer got two pioneer sisters to pose their feet in a foot fetish video for the online amusement of foot fetishists. I was able to locate the video and thought about posting the link to the site, but you know it has some graphic stuff on it, so I decided not to. However here is some data on it (cut and Pasted exactly as it appears on the site.) :

Jehova Witness Sole Show

I know it is impossible to confirm their membership as Jehovah's Witnesses, but it seems pretty convincing with the name Jehova Witness Sole Show as the title.

Honest, you can't make this stuff up!

Is it ok now for sisters to do this sort of thing?

Jehovah's Witnesses Predicted Armageddon's Start In The 20th Century

Jehovah's Witnesses Predicted Armageddon's Start In The 20th Century? Yea they did.
Again in my nightly research I read an interesting prophesy in an old Watchtower book my dad had way back in 1971. The title of the book is "The Nations Shall Know That I Am Jehovah. How?"
It states plain as day on page 216 paragraph 9 that:"Shortly, within our twentieth century, the "battle in the day of Jehovah" will begin against the modern antitype of Jerusalem, Christendom."

I double checked and I was right, this book is conveniently excluded from the WT CD-ROM, so what I did was scan the page and put it online to share it with the world.



I think this is significant because the WT always says that they never pointed to 1975 as the year the end would come. This indicates that in 1971 they were looking into the short future for the end to come. To be sure they covered their ass, they said in the 20th century. No wonder they left this book off the CD ROM!

What do you think of this discovery I have made about another false prophecy made by the Visible Organization of God?

The Closed Minds Of JWs

Most JWs believe things but have no rational way of expressing themselves. Many of them are on anti-depressant medications, or are very stressed out because of the pressures to conform to the hive-mind of their organization.

Others may actually be having doubts about their religious beliefs and instead of giving a calm response and reasoning from the scriptures as the Apostle told us to do, they become agitated and may resort to name-calling and telling people off. It is sad, but one of their publications foretold this about them.

"A closed mind may betray a lack of interest in the subject or a reluctance to look into the matter. In fact, it could even be a sign of uncertainty or doubt. For example, if we are unable to defend our religious views, we may find ourselves lashing out against those who challenge our beliefs, not with logical arguments, but with slurs and innuendos. This smacks of prejudice and of a closed mind." (AWAKE 11/22/1984 page 4)

Mind Control Techniques Of The Watchtower / Jehovah's Witnesses

This video shows how to start your own cult. I was surprised how many of the mind control techniques are used by the Jehovah's Witnesses. If you are a JW and give it an honest look, I think you will agree how much mind control goes with being a JW. Love Bombing, Separation from family, Keep Busy, Singing, Focus on the leader/plan, etc.... Scary Stuff to this fat old cowboy!
