A very straightforward presentation, without a lot of the misrepresentations that so often go with any discussions of the Witnesses. Well done.
It’s a cult. I was in it for 34 years.
✞We all need to repent and turn to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He Loved us enough to carry an over 100-pound cross and have His hands and feet nailed to it. He loves us all far more than we can imagine. It is through Him and not by our works that we can live and love. God bless.✞❤ ua-cam.com/users/shortsFRN0ixLfjcQ?si=lrwQ9iQIyaTgFZ-U
Yes, very nicely done.

honestly been raised as a Jehovah's witness made me misundertand christianity since very little and I still need to study more to desintoxicate myself from those wrong believes
Pleasantly surprised as a lot of people get some of the beliefs and practices wrong, you are spot on
The majority are on the road to destruction (Matthew 7:13).
The FEW are on the road to life (verse 14).
Don't JWs qualify as the FEW.
That would explain this animosity towards JWs.
John 15:18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me (ie Jesus) before it hated you.
@jimjuri6490 no one hates you we just find some of your beliefs troubling.
@@EricBurke-uu4lw " JWs beliefs are troubling to many because it shows up others false beliefs. Jesus had the same problem. He told the Jews:
(John 8:40) But now you are seeking to kill me, A MAN who has told you THE TRUTH THAT I HEARD FROM GOD.
That is the reason the Jews just couldn't ignore Jesus. JWs today just cannot be ignored for the same reason. See Jesus' prophecy at Matthew 24:9.
If there is something that is genuinely confusing about JWs beliefs which needs an answer, perhaps I can help.
In case you haven’t noticed, JW’s are not the most persecuted people in the world. Look at Israel today and more Christians have died than JWS.
Secondly, let’s get something straight. The Christian church did not start or restart the priest to the Catholic Church did your religion lies to you.
Catholics are not Christians and Christians are not Catholics the Catholics did not take over the entire Christian church the Christian church left. You need to do your history?
The Christian church existed separately from the Catholic the entire time that they were formed
And the third lie that your church teaches you is that Christianity came from Martin Luther from being a protestant no we didn’t. We were here before the Catholics and before the break than occurred in the Catholic Church twice) 491 Ad, 1000ad, and Martin Luther. we’ve been here ever since and that’s the lie that you’ll never understand unless you leave Jehovah witness.
This is a cult. I was in it for 34 years.

You were there because your heart , you loved and had pleasure in unrighteousness, you loved being told a lie
A lot of people with polish sounding names are often faced with JW ringing their doorbells do you know why?
I am currently spending the week with a JW. Can you tell me any points I should hit to try and rebuke him? We're on vert friendly base he's not practicing but still believes.
Correct.
Thanks for the video. It's fun to get educated this way. I learn a lot from your videos and never get bored.
Sweet! It makes me happy to hear that you’re enjoying the channel. It’s definitely a big passion of mine to make videos like this. 👍🏼
@@IllustratetoEducate what do you think JEsus thinks of people not knowing his own prophecies? If you read the prophecies of Jesus in Micah 5:4, Isaiah chapters 11,42,52,53,61, Psalm 2, 16, 22, 110, Jesus was, is and always will be the heavenly firstborn, servant, king and high priest of the Most High Father, the Living and True God Almighty JEHOVAH, for all eternity.
John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
@@fidelfolozanoiii4499 : According to Paul, God only used his angel son (Jesus) to be God's spokesperson only in the First Century C.E. See Hebrews 1:2.
God appointed Jesus into various roles. Messiah, High Priest and finally King.
How could Jesus be self appointed?
That is, IF he was already Almighty God?
@@jimjuri6490 in the prophecy of JEsus in Psalm 110 Jehovah appoined Jesus as Holy Priest Forever.
@@fidelfolozanoiii4499 : Psalms 110:1 is where God asks Jesus TO WAIT to be made King. Obviously Jesus is back in heaven after his mission on earth.
Verse 2 shows us God appointing Jesus King while God's enemies are still running things on earth. The year was 1914 C.E..
Verse 3 is about JWs proclaiming this good news.
Verse 4 is God appointing Jesus as High Priest.
Please read the above in any Bible and let me know if it is hard to understand.
What is the role of a High Priest?
Anytime someone claims to have a new spin on the core doctrines of what the bible teaches thousands of years after the cannon of scripture was established, it affirms God's warning in scripture that there are some who will pervert the gospel by preaching a different gospel than what the apostles preached, and that false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles; to say nothing of false prophecies which JW's have an extensive list.
Your video was very well done and you were wise to stay away from their false prophecies.
So how do you think Jews felt whenever a man named Jesus of Nazareth claimed to be Son of Man? I’ve we only ever obeyed fundamentally origin teachings and never branched out we probably would not have a society that we have today that is more enlightened and educated. At least in the “academic” field
@@izrealtruefelicis3309
How do i think the Jews felt? Well, if it was a Jew that honored God's most important commandment in Deuteronomy, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy might", then that Jew would search the scriptures of the Tanakh(OT) to determine if this so called "Jesus" was truly the messiah prophesied to come and deliver their people. Jesus fulfilled so many prophecies written thousands of years prior with hundreds of eyewitnesses seeing the resurrected Christ, that Jesus being the Messiah spoken of in the Tanakh is undeniable. All but 1 of Jesus's apostles were martyred because of their faith. If all this was made up nonsense... my question is, why would all the apostles go to their death defending something they knew to be a lie? They wouldn't
"branching out" from the basics in an academic/technological way for sure would yield positive changes. When it comes to "branching out" in matters of faith, the nature of the universe, and the very reason why we exist in the first place, is a scary thing. Because a perfect God already gave us his perfect revelation to live by. It comes down to this... The standard by which everything is measured against must be God's unperverted Word. if you branch out from the standard... then the standard can mean whatever you want it to mean. Jesus said, "Thy Word is truth".
Isaiah 53 "He was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. "
people complain about false prophecies, and dont erven realize they dont evne know the Father, If you read the prophecies of Jesus in Micah 5:4, Isaiah chapters 11,42,52,53,61, Psalm 2, 16, 22, 110, Jesus was, is and always will be the heavenly firstborn, servant, king and high priest of the Most High Father, the Living and True God Almighty JEHOVAH, for all eternity.
John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
@@fidelfolozanoiii4499 so as long as you know Jesus, the false prophecies don’t matter?
@@izrealtruefelicis3309 lol false prophecies? Noah was false because ninive was not destroyed because Jehovah showed mercy? People now a days dont even know Jehovah exist because the roman trinity and you complain because he has been waiting for people to actually acknowledge the truth about who he is?

IF THIS FACT CAN BE PROVEN WRONG THEN THE JOB WOULD BE WELL DONE IN ANSWERING THIS QUESTION: HOW CAN JESUS IF HE IS GOD HAVE BROTHERS? THE FATHER CAN HAVE NO BROTHERS/EQUALS!!! BUT JESUS CAN AND DOES
JESUS HAD A PRE-HUMAN EXISTENCE BEFORE - HE BECAME FLESH - MEANING THAT HE WAS 100% HUMAN WHEN ON EARTH - IN THE SAME WAY THAT THOSE WHO GO TO HEAVEN WILL BECOME 100% ANGELIC WHEN THEY GO TO HEAVEN ALTHOUGH HAVING ONCE BEEN 100% HUMAN - LIKEWISE JESUS WAS RAISED BACK TO HIS PRE-EXISTING SPIRIT FORM UPON BEING RESURRECTED RETURNING TO BEING 100% ANGELIC: “Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.” Luke 20:36
THAT IS WHY THOSE WHO WILL GO TO HEAVEN WILL BE JESUS' SPIRIT-BEGOTTEN BROTHERS WHO WILL RULE WITH HIM IN HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM ALSO AS SONS OF GOD: " Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’” John 20:17
THAT IS WHY AT REVELATION 3:12 JESUS BY DECLARING HIMSELF TO BE “THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR” IS REVEALING HIMSELF TO BE AN ANGELIC SON OF GOD AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY WE READ IN HEBREWS 2:10,11 “For it was fitting that the one (JEHOVAH GOD) for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons (JESUS AND HIS BROTHERS) to glory, should make the Chief Agent (JESUS) of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both the one (JEHOVAH GOD) who is sanctifying and those who are being sanctified (JESUS AND HIS BROTHERS) all stem from one (JEHOVAH GOD), and for this reason (JESUS) he is not ashamed to call them brothers,”
"So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living person.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 However, what is spiritual is not first. What is physical is first, and afterward what is spiritual. 47 The first man is from the earth and made of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48 Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust; and like the heavenly one, so too are those who are heavenly. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we will bear also the image of the heavenly one." 1 Corinthians 15:45-49

Good video!... I took notes and will be matching scripture against their false beliefs. They just came to my door, and I want to be able to respectfully debate where they don't quite have it right. They are made in the image of God as well, and we need to be able to discuss it with each other.
Thank you!🙏☺️
Please read the Bible. Did the first century Christians go around trying to convince people that Jesus was God?
Or did they preach the good news about God's Kingdom?
Matthew 10:7 As you go, preach, saying: ‘The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’
What do JWs preach? Read Matthew 24:14.
@@jimjuri6490 They already knew that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). They preached the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ in order to be saved (1 Cor. 15:1-5).
@@vadouis-rt3of :Who knew that Jesus was God? Jesus' DISCIPLES?
Paul clearly states that Jesus was an ANGEL. Twisting some verse of Paul's cannot change that fact.
(1 Timothy 3:16) Indeed, the sacred secret of this godly devotion is admittedly great: ‘He was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, appeared to angels, was preached about among nations, was believed upon in the world, was received up in glory.’
This is talking about Jesus and NOT God.
How can God be declared righteous? By whom? How did God appear to angels?
Is this following simple statement so repugnant to accept.
'No man has SEEN God at ANY TIME.' - 1 John 4:12.
Twisting some scripture to make Jesus into God cannot override this simple TRUTH. Jesus was NEVER God. Not at ANY TIME.
With no malice intent. If people do not know who a son is, they should not live in a real world.
@@jimjuri6490 The first century heretical group were the Gnostics. They believed that every thing of the flesh is evil and everything of the spirit is good. So when they started to translate the Bible and they got to 1 Timothy 3:16, where it stated "God was manifest in the flesh," they reasoned how can God, being a spirit and good be manifest in the flesh, which is evil?" So instead of changing their beliefs, they decided to change the Bible. And there you have the beginning of the corrupt Bible being printed.
In Isaiah 6:1>In the year that King Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
God's forming man and animals out of the dust and Eve out of Adam's rib indicates the visible presence of God in the days of re-creation. (Gen 2:7, 19-25). According to Gen 2:21, the Lord God "took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof," which would surely require His presence with Adam at that time.
@@jimjuri6490 Adam and Eve saw God in visible form after they had sinned, and hid themselves from Him, "amongst the trees of the garden" because "they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden." (Geen 3:18-19). They could not hide behind a tree from God in His invisible presence which is everywhere.
Glad someone accurately represents our beliefs. Thank you!!!!
I was in it for the 1st 33 years of my life. This video is extremely accurate unlike some. 100 % accuracy 👍It is a cult 100% however as it follows men and their teachings are cherry picked and the bible is not taken in context. ❤ and light
Quite informative AND concise, a rare combo indeed. Well done. But I found myself uncomfortably close to some of their positions. But I consider myself a Christian who does not recognize ANY denominations or divisions in the church. For the " church " is the body of believers in Christ and not just a building or the people in it. Godspeed pilgrim.
What did Jesus mean when he prayed to God and requested:
(John 17:22) I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one.
All Jesus' True Disciples being ONE. Surely, a person cannot claim to be a Christian and not be one with other Christians in beliefs and actions.
The question is 'Who is Jesus' ONE UNITED body of FOLLOWERS today? They should be actively fulfilling Matthew 24:14.
Christ unites when man concedes and accepts John 14:6. Man inevitably, through arrogance or ignorance or a combination of both, divides the body of believers through traditions, cultures, and human errors. By avoiding semantic wars, denominational disputes, and adhering to the KJV, it is possible for ALL believers to worship as one. Godspeed pilgrim.
@@jimjuri6490 In the Old Testament. Jehovah declared that He would not share His glory with another. Yet, in John 17:5, Jesus shared His Fathers glory before the world began. Please explain.
@@vadouis-rt3of : Jesus as an angel held the position of Archangel prior to God sending him to become Jesus.
It was this position and the glory that went with it that Jesus wanted God to RESTORE. Note Jesus' words:
(John 17:4, 5) I have glorified you on the earth, having finished the work you have given me to do. 5 So now, Father, glorify me AT YOUR SIDE WITH THE GLORY I HAD alongside you before the world was.
Jehovah God's glory is unmatched. Others are GIVEN positions of glory BY GOD.
In prayer to his God Jehovah, Jesus said:
(John 17:22) I have GIVEN THEM THE GLORY THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME, in order that THEY MAY BE ONE JUST AS WE ARE ONE.
The THEM would refer to the Apostles and disciples of Jesus. Jesus shares his God given glory with his disciples.
One fact become obvious from Jesus' plea to God, Jesus was NEVER God. Else, he could have restored his glory by himself.
I hope the above helps.

JWs would allow their children to die as opposed to receiving a blood transfusion. JW s would kick their children, spouses or parents out of their life for leaving the cult.-- Sick---obviously. Also, a bunch of cowards that would not join military but enjoy the freedoms protected by our military.

Here’s the truth, they created a new Bible known as The New World Translation to fit their doctrine, it’s been so omitted they can’t even call it a Bible. JW don’t believe in hell, JW believe Jesus is Michael the Archangel, JW believe Jesus second coming already happened in 1914 and he came invisibly, JW believe the Holy Spirit” is an impersonal force and not a person as described in the Bible, JW think God’s true name is “Jehovah” yet Jewish history debunks this claim. The Jews themselves have stated it’s YHWH and it’s unpronounceable, JW believe the timing of Armageddon can be predicted yet they have prophesied numerous times and have been incorrect all the time, JW governing body continues to increase ‘light’ justifying doctrinal changes according to their interpretation and the times. In the end, when you get baptized, you must say that their organization is God’s direct organization or the baptism doesn’t count. Every Jehovah Witness isn’t baptized according to the Bible so therefore they aren’t saved, they believe in a totally different God than the God of the gospel. JW teachings go against the apostles teachings and oppose the divinity of Jesus (YESHUA). You can believe an organization that’s less than 130 years old claiming to be God’s direct organization on earth or you can believe the apostles and historical evidence.
Unsurprisingly the same parroted tropes of truth mixed with untruths.
You are completely wrong about all of it, you are just echoing the biased hatred the churches have been spewing for centuries. Christendom's false teachings will lead to complete destruction during the tribulation exactly as is prophesied, that is a fact you have never understood. The ONLY survivors will be worshippers of Jehovah, too bad you can't comprehend Bible truths!
Since you believe in hell, I have a very simple question for you and I wish you could provide me an answer.
My question is this ,why would Satan punish those bad people who followed him ?
If he'll is true ?
@@thehappy3750 Satan isn’t punishing anyone, Satan is going to also be thrown in the pit along with those who rejected Jesus. Don’t believe in hell? Investigate the numerous people who have gone there and came back, they all reported the same thing. Luke 16:19-23; Revelation 20:13-15

Thanks Lord for bible study class
This was helpful the next time i get approached by a JW. I would like to honestly ask them...why they dont believe in the 'Trinity' - The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit! Them believe Christ was cruucified on a stake and not a cross....says it all about them!
Glad it was helpful!
the trinity wasnt a doctrine until 325 years after Jesus. The doctrine was not around or believed by the early Christians . Jesus never claimed to be greater than his father John 14:28 .. and he is sitting at the right hand of his father until the time comes to judge the earth Romans 8:34 .. The bible says in James 1:13 God cannot be tempted.. JESUS was tempted .. If you google the origin of the cross and do a study from it.. you will find the truth.. The holy spirit is Gods power not a indivisual .. and if it was a person.. why doesnt the Holy spirit have a name.. Gods name is Jehovah..Jesus name is Jesus .. but no name for the holy spirit.. WHy.. dont make sense... Jesus name means.. JEHOVAH IS SALVATION .. the bible says that God would call out a people for his name.. Thus why Jehovahs Wittnesses.. I would love to answer any questions you have
JWs believe more in the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit than any Trinitarian. I suggest you discuss it with them.
I am not a Jehovah’s Witness. But I do not believe in the trinity.
Even Trinitarian teachers don’t know how to explain it.
The trinity says Jesus is co-equal with God the father.
So here are 2 questions. Why would Jesus use a father son relationship to explain his association with this being.
And question 2. Why would Jesus hand over the kingdom to his father after he has accomplished his goal set out by the one who sent him.
John 20:17 (NIV) Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”
1 Corinthians 15:24 (NIV) Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
1 Corinthians 15:27-28 (NIV) 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

The ‘cross’ is pagan; read the book ‘ history of the Cross’ by Henry Dana Ward… it’s part of sun worship.
The Bible uses the word ‘stauros’ for the device Jesus died on. Look it up anywhere…. the word means ‘stave’, pole, stake, fence post. The Romans used many methods of death, and sometimes hung thousands of people on one day; they wouldn’t have wasted trees by using two for each person.
Interestingly, two used iron nails were found in the ossuary of the actual high priest in Jerusalem, Caiaphas.
Some things are incorrect but for the most part the video is correct

Well done, that’s exactly what JW beliefs, God bless you sharing the truth 🙏
JWs beliefs are in black and white on their website for anyone to read in their own language.
Getting antagonists to explain JWs beliefs is similar to asking the Pharisees to explain what Jesus believed.
Heretics i say, believing in arianism is heresy
@@jimjuri6490 At least this "antagonist" is well versed in the truth. He is no liar and I will not tolerate anyone calling this man of God a liar or even implying it
@@RuggedCross1 : If what this guy states has been copied off the JW site, then what's new?
If he has made up stuff about JWs to deceive people then:
(Matthew 5:11) “Happy are you when people reproach you and persecute you and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake.
my grandma was converted into JW by the time my dad was talking to mandatory military service so yeah that explain a lot lol
They’re good people but they’re misguided. My mom was in this when I was a kid. She returned to her original faith and was ruthlessly shunned by these people and by her own sister (who remained a JW). I sat in the school office during parties and I couldn’t have friends who were not in this religion. It broke my mom’s close relationship with her sister. They position themselves to become your only social network and call anyone who is not a JW “worldly”. If you break their rules, you are punished by losing your friends, family, and social network. I’d reckon many stay out of fear of losing these connections. I do not think God would approve of breaking up family connections over religious differences if both sides are good people. With that said, I knew them to be decent people who believe they’re doing right. They’re just misguided.
The only ones who are shunned are non-household apostates. Every effort is made to help all to be restored and happy.
@@MandellhouseI don’t think god has a quota system. Much like LDS I find it hard to understand why people would follow a “church” that was created by a man almost 2000 years after the death of Christ based on his own interpretation of the Bible. But explains the naivety to believe that there’s only 144k seats in the kingdom of heaven. Christ is lord.
@@user9380 God is exemplary with numbers, and highly organised. The 144k is spelled out in Rev, or it may be symbolic, it doesn’t matter to us.
Many Scriptures foretell that in the last days there would be a restoration of true worship and a global preaching work; it’s clear that JWs are humbly and obediently doing that; it’s a happy harvest. Read in context Isa 66;1,2 where God says he will be looking for a group of people who are contrite and obedient to his word in the last days, as his “footstool”. Daniel 12; 9,10 says that in the last days there would be a group of people who would understand the vital Kingdom prophecies. Jesus himself in Matthew 13 and other accounts foretells that he would go away a long time and come back at a time of harvest. It’s one of the signs of the last days that the global preaching of the ‘good news of the Kingdom’ would be done (Mt 24)… supervised by a symbolic ‘faithful slave’ uniquely in the time of the end. (Mt 24;45).
The restoration has included the dropping of pagan beliefs and practices such as the trinity, hellfire, immortality of the soul, Christmas, Easter, etc. The resulting worldwide congregation is uniquely zealous, united, highly productive and peace-loving (read about the ‘purple triangles’, the 100+ legal precedents and victories in supreme courts relating to freedom of worship, and the only Christian religion that took no part in the massacres in Rwanda 1994.)
People who love their families more than Jesus cannot become a Christian.
Matthew 10:37 Whoever has greater affection for father or mother than for me is not worthy of me; and whoever has greater affection for son or daughter than for me is not worthy of me.
People have to make sacrifices when they become Disciples of Jesus. Namely, JWs.
People who pass judgement on others are assuming the role of God and are misguided at best and false Christians at worst. The JW church is built around control and based on a human interpretation of the Bible. I've seen it from the inside and outside. JWs are sorely misguided by a man who once named a religion after **himself** (the Russellites).
Why do they specifically believe heaven was established in 1914? 2:40 Seems oddly specific even though Genesis clearly states God created the heaven and earth in the beginning, so on the first day.
right
Because they are a few fries short of a Happy meal, and need the read John 1:1 aswell as read a history book, blasphemously created their own version which will send them straight to hell unless they repent.
They dont, they believe Jesus became King in 1914, ruling from heaven.
God created the HEAVENS (Gen 1:1).
God wasn't homeless until he created heaven.
HEAVENS are the spinning objects in the Universe. These were not created on the first day. The First day is to do with preparing the EARTH for human habitation.
Hope this clears things. Always check.

Jesus died in Krus(English translations; cross) is a greek word meaning upright stake.
the greek word is stauros .. meaning torture stake
@@terrybrewer1135 Strong's Concordance has the Greek word for cross as "Stauros>"It is defined as a stake or post (as set upright), a pole or cross....
Now. if His hands were nailed to the pole ABOVE His head by one nail, then why do the scriptures use the word "nails (plural) in His hands...?"

Did the apostle Paul teach the disciples in Galatia that Jesus Christ would return in 1914 and set up a visible organization with headquarters in Brooklyn, New York? If not, then the Watchtower leaders' "good news" is "something beyond" what the Galatians accepted-placing them under God's curse for teaching another gospel.

As a Muslim I like this more than the traditional Christianity because they believe in an actual 1 god. Not the 1 in 3. Also they are strict on themselves kinda, almost like Muslims but differently. Although some of these facts are not aligned with my beliefs, its better than the alternative i suppose lmao. Great video
I agree with u I'm a Muslim
Im an ex-christian, or someone who just walked away. We don’t believe in 3 gods, just 1. Jesus and the holy spirit are more, for lack of better terms, different forms. It’s really weird, but it is just 1 god, not 3.
Thats why you hear “the father, the son, and the holy spirit” all used together a lot.
Edit: i completely read ur comment wrong lol sorry
We as Christians believe in a God who is 3 in 1 because that's what the Bible teaches in 1 John 5:7. There are three that bear witness in Heaven; the Father, the Word, and the Spirit, and they are One.
@@austindavis4544 bro the bible said God isn't an author of confusion
@@SoliderofAlllah What's confusing about it? Does it make sense for people with limited understanding to understand everything there is to know about God who has unlimited understanding? There is a reason the Bible says trust in the Lord and do not rely on your own understanding. If you rely on your own understanding instead of God's Word, the devil is going to deceive you, because our understanding is limited.
God is on the outside of time and space therefore He's not subject to them. As a result He can exist in any way He chooses to reveal. That's why in the book of Genesis, He didn't say let me make man in my image and likeness, He said let us make man in our image in likeness. If God is not 3 in 1 then who else was He talking to, because people are only made in the image and likeness of God.
Good job.
If you read the prophecies of Jesus in Micah 5:4, Isaiah chapters 11,42,52,53,61, Psalm 2, 16, 22, 110, Jesus was, is and always will be the heavenly firstborn, servant, king and high priest of the Most High Father, the Living and True God Almighty JEHOVAH, for all eternity.
John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
As to John 17:3. If Jesus' reference to the Father as "the only true God" were meant to exclude the Son from deity, then the same principle of interpretation would have to apply to Jude 1:4 where Jesus Christ is called "our only Owner and Lord" (NWT). This would have to exclude the Father from Lordship and ownership. Yet, JW speak of the Father as "the Lord Jehovah," even though Jude 4 calls Jesus our "only" Lord.
And the Holy Spirit is called "Lord" at 2 Corinthians 3:17. Obviously, then, neither use of the word "only" is exclusive with reference to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus' being called our "only" Lord does not rule out the Lordship of the Father and the Holy Spirit and the Father's being called the "only" true God does not exclude the Son and the Holy Spirit from deity.

If so why did John say. 'No man has SEEN God at ANY TIME.' - 1 John 4:12.
God NEVER CHANGES - Malachi 3:6.
Jesus confirmed this at John 4:24.
Here is a proper rendition of:
(1 Timothy 3:16) Indeed, the sacred secret of this godly devotion is admittedly great: ‘He was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, appeared to angels, was preached about among nations, was believed upon in the world, was received up in glory.’
This is talking about the angel who became Jesus. Not God.
Who can declare God righteous?

@@jimjuri6490 When Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD, the true Christians went north to Antioch were copies of the Bible were made. The Christian heretical group known as the Gnostics went to the intellectual center of the world at that time: Alexandria, Egypt. They believed that everything of the spirit was good and everything of the flesh was evil. So when they started to copy the Bible and got to 1 Timiothy 3:16 where it said that God was manifest in the flesh, they reasoned "How can God, being a spirit and good be manifest in the flesh?" So instead of changing their beliefs, they changed the scripture instead. They produced the false New Testament Bibles.
There is no mystery of godliness if this refers to Jesus Christ. However, it fits in nicely when Jesus Christ told His disciples tat he who seen me has seen the Father.
Isaiah did see the Father. See Isaiah 6:1-5.

Asking a Pharisee to explain who Jesus was is similar.
It's very unfortunate, but the adherents to the modern day evolved version of this religion, do not generally know any details of what was printed by this religion in the first decades it existed. For example if you were to mention the years 1914, 1918, 1919, 1925, 1941, and lastly 1975, they would not be able to describe to you what their printed literature was intimating or fortelling would take place to the public who were purchasing their magazines and literature at the time.
All these years had very specific expectations of the end of the world, or as they like to describe with terminology such as "Armageddon", "The last days", or "The great tribulation". Unfortunately they have a long track record of giving private interpretation of scripture, and their Greek interlinear, does not agree with the translation that they have selected in multiple places. Another interesting fact about this religion, is that they claim to be the only religion that possesses the "Truth", or perhaps you could say correct understanding of the Bible. Unfortunately the rank and file do not stop to think whether or not any God would ever lead their servants to such extremely false predictions.
If there are any Jehovah's witnesses reading my review of this video, I strongly recommend that they read their own literature from those time periods. And make up their mind for themselves. You are literally only a Google search away from finding out what is reality and what is false.
Recommended reading could start with "The finished mystery", You can find many digitally scanned copies of this book from many different library systems within the US and Canada, or on websites that are linked to the library systems. It's not difficult, and it's free. In these days and times, in the age of the internet, there is truly no longer any excuse for ignorance. Ignorance is now a choice. Ignoring the facts is also a choice. Sadly, most Jehovah's witnesses would be unwilling to read their own literature from those time periods, because they have been told by their leaders to not read those things. 💯💯💯❣️
Getting expectations wrong is a mark of Jesus' True Disciples. See Acts 1:6.
Others ridicule Jesus' disciples on this fact.
(2 Peter 3:3, 4) First of all know this, that IN THE LAST DAYS ridiculers will come with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4 and saying: “WHERE IS THIS PROMISED PRESENCE OF HIS? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as they were from creation’s beginning.”
Who is ridiculing whom?
@@jimjuri6490 only a person who believes in this particular sect of Christianity would attempt to defend them, so I will ask if you are a current member of this religion?
Please understand that most people watching this video consider themselves to be Christian, you on the other hand as a believing Jehovah's witness teach that all other religions, including ones who strongly believe in Jesus, are not Christian at all. That is what you teach if you are a Jehovah's witness. I want everyone reading this to know that is what you believe. You believe that they are not Christian, even though they strongly believe in Jesus. Can you justify that? Of course not.
In any case. My challenge still remains to all active believing Jehovah's witnesses, have you read the book that your religion printed and produced and sold to people enmass during the early 1900s, "The Finished Mystery"??? If you have not read this book, do you really have room to scrutinize or criticize what I stated? After you have read that book, perhaps then you can come back and make a comment. If you have the humility to read this book, I will certainly praise you for doing so. After all, it was produced by your leaders.

Glad it was helpful! 🙏🏼
IF THIS FACT CAN BE PROVEN WRONG THEN THE JOB WOULD BE WELL DONE IN ANSWERING THIS QUESTION: HOW CAN JESUS IF HE IS GOD HAVE BROTHERS? THE FATHER CAN HAVE NO BROTHERS/EQUALS!!! BUT JESUS CAN AND DOES
JESUS HAD A PRE-HUMAN EXISTENCE BEFORE - HE BECAME FLESH - MEANING THAT HE WAS 100% HUMAN WHEN ON EARTH - IN THE SAME WAY THAT THOSE WHO GO TO HEAVEN WILL BECOME 100% ANGELIC WHEN THEY GO TO HEAVEN ALTHOUGH HAVING ONCE BEEN 100% HUMAN - LIKEWISE JESUS WAS RAISED BACK TO HIS PRE-EXISTING SPIRIT FORM UPON BEING RESURRECTED RETURNING TO BEING 100% ANGELIC: “Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.” Luke 20:36
THAT IS WHY THOSE WHO WILL GO TO HEAVEN WILL BE JESUS' SPIRIT-BEGOTTEN BROTHERS WHO WILL RULE WITH HIM IN HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM ALSO AS SONS OF GOD: " Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’” John 20:17
THAT IS WHY AT REVELATION 3:12 JESUS BY DECLARING HIMSELF TO BE “THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR” IS REVEALING HIMSELF TO BE AN ANGELIC SON OF GOD AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY WE READ IN HEBREWS 2:10,11 “For it was fitting that the one (JEHOVAH GOD) for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons (JESUS AND HIS BROTHERS) to glory, should make the Chief Agent (JESUS) of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both the one (JEHOVAH GOD) who is sanctifying and those who are being sanctified (JESUS AND HIS BROTHERS) all stem from one (JEHOVAH GOD), and for this reason (JESUS) he is not ashamed to call them brothers,”
"So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living person.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 However, what is spiritual is not first. What is physical is first, and afterward what is spiritual. 47 The first man is from the earth and made of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48 Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust; and like the heavenly one, so too are those who are heavenly. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we will bear also the image of the heavenly one." 1 Corinthians 15:45-49
Wasn't too bad of an explanation. Pretty fair.
Not sure if i'd agree with the understanding of "Jesus" not being "Divine"(whatever that means in this case)...
but if it's terms of it being related to what Jesus said in Matt 19:17/Mark 10:18 about there [being] only one who is "good", God, which is in reference to "the Father" then it kinda makes sense.
It's very simple actually but it takes years eventually to figure out their use of psychology.At least it did for me with my brother having been the alpha male amongst the elders. Manipulation is the key element. He and his wife behaving as if they are the King and Queen of their congregation. Believing to be so superior within their faith and dominating every one in a very militant way. But not only with biblical matters but also everything in general. They know better than everybody else. Many have left to go to another congregation elsewhere to escape their suffocating practices and they don't even care because it's only them that matters. And then the second eldest son kills his wife and is in jail. You would think that would have humbled the parents who always told other fellow Christians they didn't know how to raise their children in the correct Christian way!!!! But it didn't it only motivates them to keep on acting more in the same way. I was told he gave up his "Position " as an elder because of his son but I'm sure that is only a temporary measure. I have left this "sect" in 1980. Enduring their dirty looks all these years for a long time. My brother is also 20 years older. However I have changed tactics and have stood before my brother on several occasions now and looked into his eyes,with a grin. No words exchanged. The spell is broken. Faith and their use of the bible is just a tool. It's a Power Game.The objective is to control your mind and your money through donations or through obtaining people's wills at death. And free will???? You gave that up the day you followed their policies and told you how to be a Jehovah's Witness. From then on it's brainwashing, giving up your individuality and any critical thinking that a person should always rely upon in life. They are false Prophets since Charles Russell instigated them 140 years ago
Wouldn't the brainwashing be applied to those who are made to believe that an IMMORTAL God whom no human can SEE and continue to live on (Exodus 33:20) managed to change his form and got himself killed by his own creation? Thereby losing his immortality forever?

Most informative! I'm a Christian and have evangelized to JW. I knew primarily that they didn't believe in the trinity, and that they had additional books or literature that they likewise studied. I never knew the rest of the points mentioned in the video. It's a complete cult w/o a doubt!
@larysnw418 You prove my point that JW sect is a cult. How is that, according to you, they're the only ones who "evangelize"? I, as a Christian, go out an evangelize, both in person and online. When we evangelize, we share the gospel of Christ. We don't affirm a relgion, for that was NOT what Jesus Christ taught nor did He specify to follow a specific religion. Humanity creates religion and sects.
I've had one singular pair of older men once knock on my door that were JW. They were unable to explain to me their own doctrine and I had to correct them on various points they were making, starting with not adding books to the Bible which we know is wrong to do, according to what the Apostle John said in the Book of Revelation.
The Roman Catholic Church believe and affirm that they're the correct and "holy" church of God. Why should people believe JW over them? It's the same nonsensical, brainwashing ideology that is presented in all religions. Religion does NOT save, only Jesus Christ can. To distinguish which ministry or church truly follows God, you have to review the doctrine they teach and what JW teach is antibiblical. So, how then do you conclude that they're right? It doesn't make sense. The Bible verses you shared don't actually tell me anything to support your position. Most especially to a Christian like me who DOES evangelize. If JW go around knocking from door to door to share twisted doctrine, how does the edifiy? Even if they spoke the truth, does their work save them? If your conclusion is that b/c they go out and preach that makes the real one, you're sorely mistaken! In other words, which I rarely express in this manner but fits here in this discussion: get off your high horse, JW are not the only ones who go out to preach. And, more importantly, they're not the one's preaching truth.
Frankly stated, JW don't evangelize. They're brainwashed into thinking they do, but seek to indoctrinate, by teaching doctrines and commandments of men as their version of the gospel. Truly, you haven't realized it?
@larysnw418 If all scripture is breathed of God and we both agree that the Word of God is the standard by which everything is measured, why have Jehovah’s Witnesses changed the standard in the NWT? Rather than conforming their beliefs to Scripture, they have changed Scripture to conform with their beliefs. The New World Translation is unique in one thing - it is the first intentional, systematic effort at producing a complete version of the Bible that is edited and revised for the specific purpose of agreeing with a group’s doctrine. I could cite example after example that change core doctrines of the faith that the apostles held to, and i won't even go into the many false prophecies where soon after lots of JW's left because they recognized the falsehood.
The most widely used Bible translations; KJV, NKJV, NASB, ESV, NIV have a range of 50 to 130 Bible scholars that worked for years with sometimes up to 16 translators per translation, having the main goal of bringing the original manuscripts to English while preserving the accuracy of the original texts. Sadly, and this documented, the JW organization had a total of just 4 people documented involved in their own translation. Former members of the Governing Body of the JW organization have identified the members of the committee as Nathan H. Knorr, Frederick W. Franz (being the principal translator), George D. Gangas, and Albert D. Schroeder. There is a reason why the most credible bible websites in the world do not even offer the JW bible as an option to read on their website, because bible scholars that know greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic do not view it as credible.
The standard by which everything is measured against must be the unchanged Word of God.
@larysnw418 As to Matt. 6:9, Jesus taught his disciples to pray to "our Father," not to Jehovah God. He said "You must pray, then, this way: 'Our Father.'
@larysnw418 The point is that Jesus Christ never called His Father "Jehovah." JW's claim that they are the true religion and one of those reasons is that they used the name Jehovah in referring to the Father. Yet, Jesus Christ, whom true believers follow, never did that. Understand?
@vadouis-rt3of Yk ppl discovered the name "YHWH" which has no vowels and only consonant words? I advise you to research that and find out why we call our God "Jehovah" because people translated it to "Yahweh" which equaled to jehovah.
Is Yahweh and Jehovah the same?
Its preface states: "the distinctive Hebrew name for God (usually transliterated Jehovah or Yahweh) is in this translation represented by 'The Lord'.
Your correct Jesus never called his father "Jehovah" but in his time people discovered the name "YHWH" and did deep research to find its vowels and to translate it. Which they found the name "YAHWEH" .
Follow jesus.. not the man made religions, all jesus taught was how to get tonthe father, not to go to church not to be christians or catholics or jw just follow his word
John 1:1 through 15 is very clear that Jesus is God
How do you see that? Try reading it in Greek.
@@MandellhouseIt's same in Koine Greek, Septurgiant
1. “In the beginning”… God didn’t have a beginning. Psalm 90;2
2. “The Word was WITH God”… it says it twice in case you missed it!
3. “The Word was with THE God (ho theos)…
4. “…and the Word was divine” (this second mention of theos is anarthrous, it lacks the definite article ‘the’, so decent translations use expressions such as ‘divine’, ‘a god’, ‘godlike’… there are over 400 translations that read that way, including the top scholarly ones.
True holly spirit is not a person its a power of God
Sounds like a cult, but they got some truth, the Holidays are infused with pagan celebrations.
A half truth is still a lie.
None of the teachings from Watchtower can be found in scripture.
@@mattmurdock2868 One has to be an expert in scriptural gymnastics (jumping from one Biblical verse to another) and take it out of context to even attempt to explain their teachings.
We follow jehovah god and his son jesus..... cults follow humans
@@trudymarsh7138
The governing body is "Jehovah."
FIRST 3000 true Christians OBEYED acts 2:38,39 ! ( acts2:41)…. NOTHING ! ELSE WILL WORK ! !…United Pentecostals have this,SAVING TRUTH ! !
In my opinion. People who refer to jw's as a cult are being a little dramatic. They follow rules and have boundaries they take seriously. They interpret the bible differently than most Christians but does that make you a cult? I mean really.
Most people who cast stones at jws would simply prefer to follow the bible "loosely" or not at all. Or maybe just live a more "worldly" life. Being a jw requires some discipline. Respectfully, thats my opinion.
It is a cult because they destroy all of your relationships if you stop believing.
Read that a different way, I am forced to be a JW or I lose my family. They are literally being held hostage.
I left. Lost everyone. Decades long friendships and my blood relatives. Mom, dad, bros, sis. Etc. that's a cult.
They also cover up child sex abuse globally and sacrifice humans for their blood doctrine...
No we are not dramatic. It's a deadly and dangerous cult
Very well put. I was raised in that belief but have found myself too spiritually weak to adhere to their more strict code of conduct. I left and am not one bit bitter over it as it is my choice to live the life I do.
They differ significantly on the interpretation of the Bible, even with stricter Christians. Also, disfellowship is a very cult-like practice.
Also, most “lukewarm” Christians don’t care at all about JWs. The people who would actually care would be people who have the passion and solid knowledge base to declare them wrong, and people who have had negative personal experiences with them.
@@zacharyfewins8087 true and those who know it's a cult from growing up in it might react poorly when they are shunned forever by their families and their jw friends kill themselves.
Good video.
Thanks!
They refuse military servi e but do not mind the benefits of the men who died....annoys me
Bothers me as well.
Nothing is as it seems. You can’t judge when we don’t know all the facts. Nietzsche " and those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

@vadouis-rt3 of I believe He who believes in God through Jesus Christ and love his next is saved. Not some man made religion. ❤😊😎👍
No Christmas 😢
And no voting
@@johnnygoodman2003 That's racist!
The New World translation of the holy scriptures is not their own translation of the Bible. Stop lying on these people and I’m not even a Jehovah’s Witness, but I got common sense.
Believe what you want.
Let others do the same. Amen.
Jesus said” I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
@@robertelawson4185 He also said on the sermon on the mount that even "if you dont believe in me to believe in the work I do" Maybe its just me but I can't for the life of me see Jesus turning away anybody. God is love, pure + simple. Nothing less.
Charles taze started JW as a parody religion
Saw what Jesus did and said, hey I can make a buck doing that!
Like Pastafarianism?
’Hell’ is not in dispute as a Medieval English word. In the Bible it refers to the grave, and JWs understand that very clearly… it’s the place that God said
Adam would go to if he disobeyed… to go back “to the dust”. (Gen 3;19)… and poor suffering Job asked to go there.
It’s the blasphemous idea of “hellfire” that is wrong.
I wish my family would snap out of it and wake up! So frustrating that they are not willing to listen.
They know the real facts, only those who worship JEHOVAH will survive Armageddon and live in the Millennium when the entire earth will worship only Jehovah. Deal with it.
They're wrong on Alot of things. One being that Jesus changed the sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.
Wrong Jw's don't teach that
@@ucanliv4ever , The one that came to see me told me that. He whips out his version of the Bible to prove it. He also gave me the stare when I told him about my service in the Army.
@@steveashcraft718 well the first Christian was an army officer ...Cornelius in Acts of Apostles. The sabbath originally was Saturday. Saturday in Spanish is sabado. You are correct that it was changed but not by Jehovah's witnesses. Jews and seventh day adventists still regard Saturday as the day of rest
@@ucanliv4ever Constatine a bishop in the catholic church is who changed it. The sabbath is still the seventh day or Saturday as you mentioned.
I would never be a Jehovah witness
Jesus himself is called “ the faithful and true witness”.
THX for this informative clip. I wonder how the current JW followers perceive the 144 000 "chosen one", as the population is now around 8 billion humans on earth, but sure there must have already been - based on their criteria - at least 144 000 people that are already dead, that has the golden ticket ..? And why would a "heaven" be restricted to any specific amount of souls..? God of any kind could easily just upgrade the entry limit to infinite?
The 144,000 serve as kings and priests Revelation 7. The majority billions remain on earth for eternal paradise
I got mormons and jw’s mixed up, same false teachings either way.
Both founders were Freemasons
Our teachings aren't even close to the mormons
That's a beautiful believe ❤
JW = Modern Cult
End of story
JWs would allow their children to die as opposed to receiving a blood transfusion. JW s would kick their children, spouses or parents out of their life for leaving the cult.-- Sick---obviously. Also, a bunch of cowards that would not join military but enjoy the freedoms protected by our military.
Denying Jesus deity = Eternal damnation
Wow! People who do believe that Jesus was God, cannot become his DISCIPLE.
(John 13:35) By this all will know that YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES-if you have love among yourselves.”
Ever come across a Disciple of God?
I love your videos. But after seeing a few of them now I have to ask, How do you ensure the accuracy of the information you are "teaching"? How do you fact check yourself to show ethical responsibility to accuracy?
My boss is one of them 😢and he doesn’t know what true he older then me and he does exactly what you said but gods name means what exactly no wonder so many people don’t Jesus or his family 😮because they are lead astray by theological issues instead of just listening to what gods spoken to us so many times man has used his name and even if we are using pagan practice that would never stop gods love for us 😢he knows what we have been taught the ironic thing is that my boss says that most christians are religious but they we don’t practice as much as they do but we’re the strange ones 😅
