    The same thing happened to the JW's in the WW2. They were tortured and thrown in the concentration camps because they are politically neutral and refused to support the war.
    They shared their food rations with the Jews, the homosexuals and the other persecuted groups in the camps.
    They stood by their God and protected the vulnerable in every way they could. Many were shot.
    Imagine the world today if everyone said no to war like they did.
    The Russian situation will spread worldwide, it's going to get uglier, they know that, and even in the face of death, they will remain loyal to their God and peaceful to the end.
    I admire them very much.

      True servants, sincere followers of Jesus Christ, must keep separate from the political part of Satan’s world, from all nationalism and politics. Are not these also opposed to God’s kingdom? When standing before the representative of the Roman Empire, Pontius Pilate, Jesus testified: “My kingdom is no part of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be delivered up to the Jews. But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source.” (John 18:36) Since neither Jesus nor his followers were part of the political world back then , , neither may Jesus’ followers be today. That the nations of the world have nothing in common with the true God can be seen from the fact that they are being gathered by the god of this world, through his inspired expressions, to the war of the great day of God the Almighty at Har- Magedon. (Rev. 16:14, 16) As the apostle Peter so well notes, Christians are aliens and temporary residents. (1 Pet. 2:11) In keeping with that fact are the words of the apostle Paul at Philippians 3:20, showing that the citizenship of Christ’s true followers is in the heavens. That is why the Christian witnesses of Jehovah do not engage in politics, nor do they buy or carry political party cards.
      When Jesus Christ was on earth, he set higher standards for his followers, and he refused all involvement in political or military matters. After Jesus had miraculously fed several thousand people with a few loaves of bread and two small fish, Jewish men wanted to seize him and make him a political king. But Jesus avoided them by quickly withdrawing to the mountains. (John 6:5-15) Regarding this incident, The New International Commentary on the New Testament states: “There were fierce nationalistic longings among the Jews of that period, and doubtless many of those who saw the miracle felt that here was a divinely accredited leader, who was just the one to lead them against the Romans. So they set themselves to make him king.” It adds that Jesus “decisively rejected” this offer of political leadership. Christ gave no support to any Jewish insurrection against Roman domination. Indeed, he foretold what would be the result of the revolt that would take place after his death-untold woes for the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the destruction of that city.-Luke 21:20-24.
      Until his Kingdom puts an end to the rule of political governments, Christ’s disciples follow his example. They render obedience to those established authorities but do not interfere in their political undertakings. (Daniel 2:44; Matthew 4:8-10) Jesus left guidelines for his disciples, stating: “Pay back, therefore, Caesar’s things to Caesar, but God’s things to God.” (Matthew 22:21) Earlier, in his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus had said: “If someone under authority impresses you into service for a mile, go with him two miles.” (Matthew 5:41) In the context of this sermon, Jesus was illustrating the principle of willing submission to legitimate demands, whether in human relations or in governmental requirements that are in harmony with God’s law.-Luke 6:27-31; John 17:14, 15

      A religion that shuns previous members is violating human rights. Imagine your family and friends shunning you 100% of the time because you didn’t believe their doctrines. This has caused many to commit suicide and is considered in humane in the mental health field. JW’s shun and destroy family’ on a daily basis.

    • @joytoyouandme4593
      @joytoyouandme4593 3 роки тому +5

      @Eros Caerus - Why do JW’s deflect to other religions when they are trying to justify their actions? Other organizations also refuse the emblems of the last supper, they call it a Black Mass. So based on your justification JW’s celebrate Black Mass by rejecting Jesus Body.
      JWs DO have interaction with worldly people. They deal with them when working, they go to school with them, they have friends who aren’t JW’s and they knock on their doors to start conversations. But they refuse this interaction when someone leaves or is disfellowshipped.
      Also JWs do NOT have ownership of God. When someone realizes that the doctrines taught by JW’s are false, leaving them doesn’t indicate they left God. Rather it means they realized what is taught today will become old light tomorrow, or perhaps they delved into the history of the religion, or they began reading the Bible for themselves and realized that the JW application was incorrect.
      Last I checked children often don’t really understand adult decisions. Nor are they taught to delve deep. Most born in JW children are baptized before they reach adulthood. Jesus didn’t get baptized until he was in his 30’s for very good reason. But JW’s like to indoctrinate children at a young age so they will be dedicated and captured for life. Such is the reason many commit suicide because they feel trapped, be free and lose your family, or stay and suffer in what you don’t believe.
      Jesus never once shunned anyone, even Peter or Judas, even though he knew they would betray him.
      The few adults that become JW’s are not fully informed about all the changed doctrine over the last 145+ years. Many of these also don’t have knowledge of all the child abuse lawsuits and investigations currently going on and in the past. This is especially true if they come from a poor background without access to computers or a library. Any growth seen by this organization is currently happening in 3rd world countries, where people are desperate. Numbers have fallen in the US and other industrialized nations where technology is more accessible.

    I have plenty of issues with the JW's but I don't wish this on anyone, the fact that it's ideological persecution in our time, and the world is silent, sets a very worrying precedent. Take the plight of Tibet, or the Uyghurs for example, and it begins to dawn on a person that governments can pretty much do as they damn well please, if the group attacked is relatively small, fringe, or isolated no one cares.

      Tibetans, Christians, Falun Gong, Uighur Muslims, Buddhist, ataoist are now being persecuted in China because the CCP fear the influence of these religions. Russia is persecuting Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Moonies, Evangelicals, Scienyologists. Yes, these religions have problems but that is in their leadership that doesn't even reside in Russia. This is Putin cozying up with the Russian Orthodox Church.

"Tell us", they said, "what will be the sign of...the conclusion of the system of things?" (Matthew 24:3) Jesus' answer is spelled out in detail in the Bible in chapter 24 of Matthew, chapter 13 of Mark, and chapter 21 of Luke. These complementary Gospel accounts describe the last days of the present world as being characterized by wars famines, diseases, great earthquakes, and a significant increase in lawlessness.

    I've personally studied with Jehovah's witnesses for 5 years when I was a teen. However, I could never get myself to convert. They didn't pressure me to convert and anyone with a brain is able to distinguish what lines up with their beliefs and what doesn't. Most of them are good people and it's not my place or yours to judge them. God is the only judge. Everyone is flawed. Therefore the interpretation of religions will be flawed because all flawed people assume they have the right understanding of religion that they lose sight of what it's supposed to be about. So they begin to impose their ridiculous views and force people to follow them claiming that's what God wants but in all truth it's their way of controlling others. People should have the right to form their own views without outside influence. Our relationship with God is just that. It's between us and him and no one else. He sees what's in our hearts and is the only one that has the right to pass judgment on us.

The husband said in the police report his wife saw Lett saying babies are "Enemies of God." Had Lett preached, babies are a Gift from "Jehovah," mothers should Cherish their babies. I do believe the baby would be alive today. Lett & jw org are to blame You need to do research regarding this Cult.

But no, at least those people shown in this video dont seem to be a threat to society. There are much bigger problems in Russia.

      They have removed Jehovah from general Bibles over 7,000 times... they just don't want people to know HIS real name (God's) and there is a reason why so many people think that Jesus Christ (Jehovah God's one and only begotten son) is God and some even believe that he is all 3 in one... very sad that they don't want people to know God's real name but it's obvious what they are trying to do, they want people to think that Satan is God.
