This was so interesting to listen to as an exjw. I loved it! 💕 Praise the Lord, I was called from that darkness and into the light. There are so many JW's waking up right now. Please keep praying for them! 🙏
exJW here too. I was born in back in '72, I woke up May 2021. I was born again Sept 2021. I pray for all my ex-brothers and sisters as well. I pray for my wife and children daily to wake up.
@@ThaedionMykelDain....the witness's are waiting for the Baha'i faith to 'become a government reality...'...there are some 'mornon questions' that need to be answered... Dr..Leland Jensen was born Aug 22, 1914 - started the BUPC around 1970... Lived in Montana
The witnesses of exjw is the power which is waking up the others. Especially their own actions towards them which is enforced by their leadership shows clearly it is not Love. And it is a Fire of God burning them to repent.
@@rudolphferdinand3634 the soul doesn't sleep. that's not taught in the Bible, only the JW's and SDA, both considered cults and therefore contain false teaching. Here are a few verses that challenge this idea, however, I'm sure you don't regard them at all because the men you *must* obey or face consequences according to whatever current rules are in place their Elders enforce, must be followed by you at all times: Genesis 35:18 Luke 16:19-31 Luke 23:43 John 11:25-26 1 Peter 3:18-19 Revelation 6:9-10
@@PattySnider not for nothing, but I trust the Bible more than someone that says whatever they make up on their own. The Bible says in Revelation 6:14 that heaven departed like a scroll. Revelation 21:1 says there will be a NEW Heaven and NEW earth. Even Isaiah 24:20 says that the earth will be removed. 2 Peter 3:10 says there will be a new heaven and earth also. So, I'm confused why you have all these verses and still would make a false statement? Perhaps you haven't read the entire Bible which seems logical most people haven't.
So sad how many people that are really searching for Jesus are deceived by this cult. I pray that Jesus will reach them and open their eyes before it's too late. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Rutherford preached everyone would go to heaven in 1914 and when it didn't happen invented the teaching about 144000 going to heaven to keep the people ' hooked' please see christadelphian bible study and Christadelphian videos ( no paid clergy)
Jesus Christ taught ' no man ascends into heaven EXCEPT the son of man which is in heaven ' John 3:16 rather God is planning to send back Jesus from heaven as Psalm 110:1-3 to set up the everlasting kingdom of God on earth as Daniel 2:44 shows clearly because God wants to fill all the earth with His Glory Numbers 14:21 which happens because Jesus returns to raise the dead and bring the saints to bind the disobedient kings as Psalm 149 and Psalm 2 prophesied 😊

My friend@@johanabrahams3451it's not about DOING it is about grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Ephesians 2:8+9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast.
I was part of the JWs from age 10-15 with my mum in NZ. I remember attending a meeting once at Easter and having communion passed around and no one took it. There was a real sense of almost deluded self righteousness about everyone as they let the elements pass by, considering themselves unworthy to partake. At the time I believed it all, but praise God at 16 I found Jesus, and now consider it a privilege to take part in communion.
People can't be self righteous and unworthy at the same time , feeling to the extreme that every small sin prevents them from partaking of the Lord's supper , which would make them feel unworthy to partake so it's not self righteousness , most Jehovah's Witnesses strive for perfection thus their feelings of falling to short
That is why Jesus said follow me he did not say follow the Catholics Protestants Jehovah's Witnesses Mormons Born Again Christians and so on he said follow me Jesus Christ is not a religion it's a relationship between us and his father we 19:01 are to build a relationship with Christ the most importantly we also supposed to build our relationship with God and adam he didn't need Jesus to talk to God but we do
You are a prophet of doom and falsehoods@@geraldamos292 hast thou not read the Scripture... 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
@@geraldamos292The Devil is speaking through you. Your reprobate mind blinds you. Under the Old covenant with Israel. No Jew was responsible for another Jew's sins. It was clear under the law of Moses, with out the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. The assorted animal sacrifices under the Law were "temporal" coverings for sin. The blood of beast couldn't eternally remove sin permanently, or perpetually. Where the law was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son, in the "likeness" of sinful flesh, condemed sin in the flesh. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. Which none of the princes of this world knew; for had they known it, they would of never crucified the Lord of glory I Corinthians 2:7-8 (kjv)
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (kjv) II Corinthians 5:21 Christ was the sinless Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

When I was a missionary in Costa Rica I saw many JW's. God put it on my heart to reach out to them. Unfortunately many Christians choose not to open the door when they knock on it. I saw it as an opportunity to reach out to them. I had already been studying on different cults, but especially the Jehovah's Witnesses. I listened to Walter Martin a lot and even have his book Kingdom of the Cults. One of the first things he said that stuck with me was, when speaking to a JW, is to NEVER start out telling them that you will prove to them that JESUS is God. If you do, you will lose them and they will not listen to you no matter what you say. They will shut you down. He also encouraged to not use their "bible". I got to a point where I was able to use their own material to point them in the right direction. But if you are not familiar with them, it is best not to. What I would do was allow them to speak and share everything they wanted to. I already knew what they were going to say and the verses they would use. I never interrupted them, but when they finished that's when I would start to share.. Many times we would sit and talk for 3 hours. I saw them as a mission field that came to me and took advantage of it. I got to a point where, one time, I went to get my hair cut, the barber and I started talking about things happening in the world, but based on his wording I instantly knew he was a JW. I asked him if he was a JW and he was shocked. There are many other stories I could share, but I probably have shared way too much for people to want to continue reading this long post. They need JESUS just as much as we needed Him when we were lost in sin.
I read Walter Martin ‘s books Kingdom of the cults, he wasn’t the best person to be revealing so-called cults. He had it off for Jehovah’s Witnesses like most people do and most people don’t really understand them. They’re Christians. They love God and they put their trust in Jesus Christ. I’m tired of hearing people say that they don’t. I know a lot of them and they do.
Pray for them please,i was caught in those lies for years, raised my children as JWs, i am now born again and pray my children who have no beliefs now will be saved someday
Remind your kids that religion and God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit are totally different. That’s y it’s called false religion. It’s not about them at all and they need to figure out the truth on their own. The Bible comes in handy for that and just pray casually if you’re talking to a friend. No matter what happens when Jesus comes I will find comfort and peace
I’m in that same boat. I love my kids so much. JW religion did them so much damage. They now don’t believe in anything and don’t wanna hear about me being saved as a born again Christian.
Ex-JW here. I grew up in it. I got out when I moved away and was eventually told about Beth-Sarim and why it was built. I never knew about it because the Watchtower Society likes to keep it a secret. I've been a born again Christian for about 14 years now. My mother is still a JW. Please pray for her. I've been trying to get her out for a while now.
The difference is, one is blind because they don't seek God sincerely, they end up in cults out of tradition or familiarity. A christian by definition is a "follower of Jesus Christ", but Jehovah's Witness call themselves by another name because they follow Charles Taze Russel. "...Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."-Matthew 15:13-14 Pray for God to SOFTEN YOUR MOTHER'S HEART so that God's Word will fall on good ground in her and produce good fruit of the Holy Spirit.
I tell Jehovah's Witnesses to go through the narrow gate that is on the cramped road leading to life. . Matthew 7:13-14 “Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road ** LEADING OFF INTO LIFE ** and few are the ones finding it. . I ask them to read what Jehovah said would happen at the time of the end that is in every Christians bible and yet, few are the ones finding it: . Isaiah 66:5 Hear the word of Jehovah, YOU men who are trembling at his word: “YOUR brothers that are hating YOU, that are excluding YOU by reason of my name, said, ‘May Jehovah be glorified!’ He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part, and they are the ones that will be put to shame.” . [Name of person] is no longer one of JEHOVAH's Witnesses ---->> "excluding YOU by reason of MY NAME" . I ask them if they can see Jehovah's promise to disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witnesses: . "He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part"! . I then warn them that, if they go through this narrow gate they will lose their family as a consequence of the Watchtower Societies shunning policies. . Then I ask them to read what Jesus Christ said about everlasting life: . Mark 10:29-30 Jesus said: “Truly I say to YOU men, No one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news 30 who will not get a hundredfold now in this period of time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with persecutions, and in the coming system of things ** EVERLASTING LIFE ** . I then ask them if they want to live forever. . I also tell them that they can leave the organization and their congregation with dignity by telling everybody that they believe Jehovah, Jesus Christ and everything else in the bible. . Walk out with your head held high and jump for joy when you do. . What Jehovah said would happen, is now really happening! . That's Good News ................... right! . Jesus said: “Truly I say to YOU men, No one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOOD NEWS. .
I am a ex elder who disassociated. The watchtower has changed the Bible to fit their belief system,for instance in many passages In the NWT Bible it refers to Jesus as “other”. Colossians 1:16 in the ESV says Jesus created all things,in the NWT it says Jesus created all “other” things. Now remember while Charles Russell (founder) was alive he always taught Jesus was god and taught about the union between the father,son and Holy Spirit. When he died oct 31 1915 judge Rutherford did not wait long until completely changing their belief system. Rutherford then said Jesus was created,Jesus is not god and Christmas is a pagan holiday. See the hypocrisy? Now the members of the organization listen to 9 men in New York called the gov body. If the members don’t agree with the gov body then the gov body says they don’t agree with god… hypocrisy at its finest. May the mighty god Jesus save their souls and feel pity for them when his returns.
I grew up in the JW organization and I don’t think its a laughing matter and we’re not to make jokes about them! Actually I feel sorry for them as they can not see the truth as it is writen because of their indoctrination! Jesus saved me from the darkness but I feel for those members of my family that are still there… please pray for them so they can receive light and wisdom from God to be saved too!🙏Jesus died for us all!!🙏🙌🙏
No one making fun of them he was saying how said it is for them to reject Christ The Savior. It’s really dumb Jesus said in John 6:53-54 if you don’t eat My Flesh and drink My Blood 🩸 you have no life in you, 54 whosever eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood 🩸 has Eternal life.
I can't stop laughing at myself and how I was taken in on everything. Accepted all the new rules despite all their prophecies turning out false. Bizarre to reason "The light gets brighter and brighter". What was new light from God later becomes false light. They the gb blame everything on Jah.
@@DerekJudahPsalms42 he said that to the jews, and "in union with him" serving as kings and priests. this "requirement" is not in John 6:40, John17:3, John 3:16 , John 3:36, Romans 6:23, Romans 2:7, Mark 10:30 , Titus 1:2 , 1 timothy 6:12, so on and so forth.
I was a 4th generation born in. I left at age 40. Even though I was never disfellowshipped, I’ve been shunned for 26 years ( only for leaving) I now attend a great nondenominational church. Over the years I’ve tried sending my family ( non religious, very kind & loving letters) with no reply. I’ve sent photos of my kids & now grandkids to keep them up to date.. still no reply. So many memories that never were made 😢I have no idea who’s passed away, gotten married or babies born. They won’t inform me & have been told to treat me as dead. It was a very high price to pay for freedom. I’m so happy that the organization is now being EXPOSED !! I pray for the members 🙏🏼🎚️who are so mind controlled & who think shunning is a “ loving” thing to do.
My husband & I were in for decades. There seems to be no way to reason with them since their main teaching actual rejects Christ sacrifice. We knew they would shun us when we left them, so when we left, we shunned THEM first. It has worked wonders. "Let the dead bury the dead". They are dead to us. THEY are the apostates but they try to project it on you.
@@debragreen7668 - I agree!! I use to think of them as victims, but now that there is sooo much factual info at the press of a button & they refuse to see it, they are about as far away from loving & kind as they can get. They defend an evil organization, even calling real victims liars, they deny that there are abused children & pedophiles being protected!! I now hold THEM accountable!! I don’t want a relationship with them or anyone else that defends such evil things!! The shunning turned out to be a blessing really! It gave me time to deprogram without them trying to pull me back in!! 26 years have made them strangers to me. I moved on, “forgave”them BUT will NEVER forget the harsh treatment.. my last straw was when my husband fought cancer for 7 years & not one word from them & when he passed, they didn’t come to his funeral or even send a card! We had been married for 43 years.. they “supposedly” loved him?? But nothing! Then I got Covid & was deathly ill.. still not one word! DONE with them. BTW.. If anyone thinks we are bitter.. not so!! I just refuse to have a relationship with people who treat me like I’m dead! Simple
. I did my best to show them love, even though they were hateful, wishing me dead. With sooo much FACTUAL info out here now, at the click of a button, and they deny it, they continue to defend an evil organization, even going as far as calling the real victims of watchtower liars.. I now hold them accountable! I, like you, don’t want a relationship with them. They will have to answer to God when the time comes & that’s good enough for me. I pity them, I pray for them, I even forgive them, BUT I will NEVER forget the destruction they brought to our family. I will never forget their evil ways that have caused so many suicides & senseless deaths from refusing to give their poor innocent children a blood transfusion or the ones who have been abused & never allowed justice because of their 2 witness rule! I’m glad that our voices are finally being heard!! 🙏🏼🎚️👏🏼
Disfellowship is just another one of their practices they don’t want outsiders to know about when trying to convert them. It is a cruel means of try to insure no one leaves their fellowship. Doing so can mean losing contact with immediate family, friends and loved ones, forever. Very sad.
@@Steve-kl3mo - I wasn’t even disfellowshipped. Did nothing wrong. Live a clean moral life, believe in God & yet still shunned! 26 years !! Shunning is a cruel un loving & un Christian thing to practice!! I’m letting God be their judge!!
@@johanabrahams3451 Jesus said, If You dont believe that I am He you will die in your sins. And in Him (Jesus) dwelleth All the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Jesus also said if you have seen Him, you have saw the Father.
God forgive me for having the wrong attitude about the Jehovah's witnesses. I now have a heart to pray for their eyes and hearts to be opened to the Messiah. Thank you for sharing.
Hey I am new to JW. What are they cherry picking in particular? I hear people saying this but nobody ever provides examples. The best example I can think of is "Jesus is not God". Is that the only one or is there more than that which is wrong in which they use the Bible somehow differently. And not about the 144,000 either. I mean big things like affecting Salvation. Other than "Jesus is not God", what else do they believe that goes against Salvation?
@@kevinerose What do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe? Close scrutiny of their doctrinal position on such subjects as the deity of Christ, salvation, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, and the atonement shows beyond a doubt that they do not hold to orthodox Christian positions on these subjects. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe Jesus is Michael the archangel, the highest created being. This contradicts many passages of Scripture that clearly declare Jesus to be God (John 1:1, 14; 8:58; 10:30). Jehovah’s Witnesses believe salvation is obtained by a combination of faith, good works, and obedience. This contradicts Scripture, which declares salvation to be received by grace through faith (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5). Jehovah’s Witnesses reject the doctrine of the Trinity, believing Jesus to be a created being and the Holy Spirit to essentially be the inanimate power of God. Jehovah’s Witnesses reject the concept of Christ’s substitutionary atonement and instead hold to a ransom theory, that Jesus’ death was a ransom payment for Adam’s sin. How do the Jehovah’s Witnesses justify these unbiblical doctrines? First, they claim that the church has corrupted the Bible over the centuries; thus, they have re-translated the Bible to reflect their unique doctrines-the result is the New World Translation. The New World Translation has gone through numerous editions, as the Jehovah’s Witnesses discover more and more passages of Scripture that contradict their doctrines. The Watchtower bases its beliefs and doctrines on the original and expanded teachings of Charles Taze Russell, Judge Joseph Franklin Rutherford, and their successors. The governing body of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society claims sole authority to interpret Scripture. In other words, what the governing body says concerning any scriptural passage is viewed as the last word, and independent thinking is strongly discouraged. This is in direct opposition to Paul’s admonition to Timothy (and to us as well) to study to be approved by God, so that we need not be ashamed as we correctly handle the Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15). God’s children are to be like the Berean Christians, who searched the Scriptures daily to see if the things they were being taught lined up with the Word (Acts 17:11). There is probably no religious group that is more faithful than the Jehovah’s Witnesses at spreading their message. Unfortunately, the message is full of distortions, deceptions, and false doctrine. May God open the eyes of the Jehovah’s Witnesses to the truth of the gospel and the true teaching of God’s Word.
@@jeffnoble9757 First, the NWT mistranslates the Greek Scriptures in order to expunge the deity of Jesus Christ. Against all credible scholarship, In the NWT translation, Jesus, the eternal Word of God, is downgraded from God to “a” god in John 1. Since the release of the NT translation in 1950, this version has been criticized for changing the meaning and words of the text to fit JW doctrine. A prime example is John 1:1. Both the ESV and NIV translate that verse as, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The NWT version mistranslates the passage as “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.” The addition of the indefinite article “a” is added to avoid the conclusion that Jesus is God. This is clearly changing the written Word of God to fit the organization’s doctrine - that Jesus is not the eternal Word God “made flesh” (John 1:14). Jesus is demoted from the Creator of all things to a mere creature who created all other things in Colossians 1. According to the translation committee of the Watchtower Society, as noted above, Jesus was created by God as the archangel Michael, during his earthly sojourn was merely human, and after his crucifixion was recreated an immaterial spirit creature. Christianity has always maintained from the beginning that Jesus is “fully God and full man”. While Jesus never directly says, “I am God” in the Scriptures, He makes it very clear to those around Him, especially the Pharisees and Sadducees, that He is God. John 10:30 says, “I and the Father are one.” Jesus was claiming deity, and, interestingly enough, He did not deny that He was God. Another example is John 20:28, when Thomas says, “My Lord and my God!” Again, Jesus does not correct Him by saying that He is not God. There are many other examples one can find in the Scriptures regarding Jesus’ rightful place in heaven. John 10:38 “...the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” The Father and Jesus share the same divine nature. John 8:58: “Most assuredly I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM”. Here Jesus is expressing His eternal nature -that before Abraham was born, He was already existing. In fact, here Jesus uses the exact same expression that God spoke to Moses out of the burning bush.
Dear friends, the Lord burdened me with the JWs. I started confronting them on the street but found I could not have a meaningful discussion with any one with thier tactics of changing the topic and people moving around. I was getting despondent when the Lord layed it on my heart to attend thier Sunday meetings. I listen and only in casual conversation say something that I believe will make them contemplate the Organisations errors. In this way I am sowing the truth in thier acre. I am praying for a Nineveh moment until then I will be there listening and praying. Remember us in your prayers. Thankyou. Shalom. It is our responsibility to witness and God through the Holy Spirit will do the convicting, Amen.
This is really an "eye opener" for many. That you can actually sit in their meetings, listening to their lies, and not being effected in any way at all. Because of the Power of the Truth in you the lies has no effect on you. God really gives you a Powerful Witness in what you are doing. They might get to the point in being so intimidated by you that they will ask you to leave. That happened to Me in my Hometown with all the organizations there. Some even got court orders against Me to stay 500 meters away when they have meetings. They know that even seeing Me while they are on their way to church will disturb them for the whole duration of their meeting. Just remember what Jesus said when they ask you to leave. They are taking your cloke and you have to give the garment too. Meaning leaving in Love of Grace to them. Telling them you Forgive them and will from now on Forgive them "outside of their building" to do the 70 x 7 Forgiveness to them always. Just as you have done while having been inside and in their presence. Only the meetings changed and not the Power of Forgiveness in Grace. And then they enter your Grace and exist in your Grace for ever. Outside of their building. Or until they confess. But pride will keep them in your Grace. Specially those in charge. I am walking in Grace now already 24 years in my hometown with the organizations who are "persecuting Me" in having chased Me away. It is Really a Huge "Joyful" Life you enter then. Where your "Joy" and their disgrace when you meet in meetings of 2 and 3 will be their Discipline from the Living God for ever. Some change and some never do. Their choice. But you learn the Power to Love your enemies in Living it. God's Love manifesting in you against their hatred is then your Power to change them. Luke 6: 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
Their teaching some go to heaven and some don't is easy to defeat because Jesus Christ taught his disciples 'no man ascends into heaven EXCEPT the son of man which is in heaven ' John 3:13 and showing the true purpose of God being to fill all the earth with His Glory Numbers 14:21 when he spends back Jesus Christ from heaven as Psalm 110:1-3 shows clearly is because Jesus must raise the dead (John 5) bring the saints with him to defeat the Kings of the earth as Psalm 149 shows and doing so set up the everlasting kingdom of God on earth Daniel 2: 44😊. Please see christadelphian bible study and Christadelphian videos for great learning experience and you will be glad 😊😊😊
There is a Yt channel " Questions Jehovah's witnesses can but will not answer", There's a list of questions in the description you can print off that will help you witness to a JWS.
Thank you for your faithfulness in listening to the Lords direction in attending this observance and partaking of the bread and wine! I was saved 2 years ago out of the JWs after being born and raised knowing no different for over 45 years. My mom was saved a year ago at 73. The spirit is moving and speaking to those who will hear him and coming out of these deceptive demonic cults. So yes, please keep praying and fasting for those who are still blinded, as well as those who have left and lost all faith. That they would see the Bible is still true, but the God they were taught wasn’t true. And they can find peace and grace in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
@@billweir8824 I agree! It's astonishing that the deception is so heavy to blind their minds and hearts from what they are doing (or rather not doing)!
@@anneendrey3946 you can call it whatever you want. Not sure why you need to argue that point. Is it a salvation issue to call it the right term? Would Jesus need to argue that term? Pray about it. Think about what you're doing on the internet and the message your giving to people. Do they see Jesus through you?
When I was a JW, I always questioned this event. They never talk about Jesus' love and sacrifice for us. I am sooooo grateful that Jesus found me! Thank you Jesus for you love and sacrifice for us!
Jehovah your Dad, died in Jesus for you. To give birth to you in Jesus to be His Child in Jesus. Jesus is your New Name and Life from Yahweh/Jehovah to you.
@@johanabrahams3451When God created the universe, He used His creative power to exist in space-time as three consciousnesses or “Persons” while remaining One God timelessly. God the Father did not die for us: God the Son did. Modalism creates all sorts of problems, such as a Modalist god being a deceiver.
I actually appreciate the Jehovah witnesses. I admire their tenacity to try to spead- what they think is the gospel to others. They actually woke me up spiritually and then I became a reborn Christian. So I'm a little softer on them.
I had the save experience! A JW very nice lady came to my house when I had an infant and a two year old. She sat with me and we did a Bible study. I had so much stress from bringing a mom at the time. She told me to throw my problems on God. Alone, later I physically threw my stress on God , throwing my arms out, yelling for God to take it. Life got better! I never took in non Christian ideas. I just enjoyed her encouragement to read the Bible, her kindness. Today I am grateful to her for rekindling the fire in me to get back to love for God and his Word.
Thank you brother. I’m a former JW and I partook of the bread and wine and I video’d the whole thing. I’m a born again Christian now, praise God. I’m glad you can raise awareness.
I resigned by letter from the JW religion in January. Did I know Jesus? Well, Jesus directed us to pray to Heavenly Father. My prayers were answered, so He was listening. I felt very close to God. So the reason I am not an ex JW activist is because Heavenly Father blesses those that love Him and reflect His qualities, whatever religion they are in. All religions are man made with pharisee type rules. The refreshment and light load Jesus promised comes when we worship God "in Spirit and Truth", as he explained to the Samaritan woman at the well. I have felt such freedom since January - it is a beautiful thing and decades of depression left me overnight. Amen and Amen.
The longer you are a Christian the more you’ll refer to who you call “Heavenly Father” simply as God or God the father. There is certain terminology they drill into people that is simply not common reference in Christian circles. Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven! Read a King James Bible. Start in John but read the entire New Testament. Read it very slowly and while you’re reading the words, just talk to the Lord, (Jesus) and ask Him for discernment ask Him to reveal the deeper meaning of what you are reading. Be Blessed!
@@1god2674 No dear. Worshipping in "Spirit and Truth", as Jesus explained to the Samaritan woman, means not having to go to a place to worship God. I am not a member of any religion. Religions are manmade. Worshipping men is idolatry. God gave us the Bible. I read my Bible and pray to God in the name of Jesus. I try to be good like Jesus, using his example in the Bible. That is all we need. Religions only want your money and obedience - they are modern day Pharisees and false prophets. We have everything we need at home. A Bible and prayer. We can talk to God any time. He never changes. His standards never change. We can thank Him for our food and ask for forgiveness in the name of Jesus.
I would encourage you to look at revelation 22:12-13 NT, and then reference back to Isaiah 44:6-8. Also John 8:48-59 and reference that to Exodus 3:14. Jesus is eternal , the word of God -Hebrews 1:3 . The word expresses and makes known what is unseen. So the Son is revealing the Father to us in physical reality. Also, God is love. He exists in a self-sustaining relationship, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Colossians 1:16 is great, Jesus created all things that are in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. If Jesus was created, this would make no sense.
@@redxpro1 Jesus is the Way of your Dad, Jehovah. Where you are entering in the Name of Jesus into His presence. Jesus is no Father. But the Life of your Father, Jehovah to you to Live and Enjoy.
I was associated with the JWs for many years but I was worried about the bible that they gave me was wrong so I spoke to them about it and said that I was going to pray about it and I did and God showed me all the changes that they had made, they could not accept that God had replied to me, I tried to give them back their book but they wouldn’t take it, I have been a born again Christian for 17 years now amen
@@dorothyingram2998 don’t become a JW’ this is a cult and you are in danger of losing your soul, find a good church that teaches the pure truth and become born again as this is what Jesus Christ said you must do to enter the kingdom of heaven
@@dorothyingram2998 Please don't waste your time. If you have to be a baptized witness to be saved where is the sacrifice of Jesus Christ coming into it. They baptize into Father Son and God's Spirit filled organization or something like that. They minimize Jesus and disregard the Holy Spirit. Calling him God's active force...what an insult . Also they cherry pick versus, they fine out on "the wages of sin is death. And then think once you died you've paid for your sins BUT the rest of the scripture states, but the free gift from God of eternal life THROUGH Jesus Christ" So many MANY accounts of them diminishing Jesus Christ who is the fullness of God the Father. Jesus told Nicodemus you must be Born Again in Book of John...of water and spirit. They absolutely forget that. You study with them. You become a door knocker. You have to answer questions from elders to consider yourself for to be a "witness" and implied you are saved??? Wrong I AM the Way the TRUTH and the Life NO MAN gets to the Father except by me. John 14:6 There's so much more. My advice after a mother in JWs until death (And declared she knew it was not being a JW that saved you it was Jesus Christ) and me studying with them for years...is... RUN, RUN, RUN. 🙏🙏🙏
@@unacharmer the main one is the New International Version of the Bible, John 3:3 reads: Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” In the New Living translation, the verse reads: Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
If that is true what you say could you show me some proof I would like to see that for myself I just like to know just for the knowledge of the fact that it's true
I've glanced through most of the comments and apparently we are the only ones to have taken communion at a Kingdom Hall. I was a believer of only a few years and my Aunt, Uncle, and my councins were all JWs. They invited me and maybe I wasn't in the second role, but I took the communion believing I would someday stand before the Lord in His presence. Sixty years later, I still take communion but in a Bible believing church every month. Thank you for allowing me to experience that memory. I still pray for my cousins and not sure where they stand today.
The Apostle Paul says that we carry on observing communion until Jesus returns. (1 Corinthians Chapter 11 Verse 26). Why do JWs observe the Lord's Evening Meal if they believe Jesus has returned???
Excellent point!!! 😊 Please see christadelphian bible study for great talks by speakers worldwide! Ordinary brethren like us WHO have produced really interesting and helpful talks I love to listen to each evening😊
I was raised in the JW religion and stepped away once I graduated high school. Praise God He brought me back to Him and showed me His great love through the grace He’s given us through Christ Jesus. I was never taught of His love and grace as a child but only to be fearful of messing up and not being worthy to survive Armageddon. So many rules and living in fear. When I left I thought I was going to hell. But God!! He left the 99 to find me. I am so thankful to be born again through Christ Jesus who died for our sins and provided the way to know and be close to God. I never thought about that before how they celebrate the memorial of His death and don’t acknowledge that He is alive sitting next to God the Father in Heaven. My parents are still active members in that religion. My grown sisters have both struggled to find their way after separating from that religion. I continue to pray for all of them. God prepares hearts and calls those who are His to Him. He removes veils and helps us to see. Abba Father thank You for opening my eyes. Please open the eyes of all those caught in those false belief systems. Please show them Your great love and the importance of communing with You. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen 🙏🏻
Praise God He is SO GOOD,He doesnt want ANYONE TO PERISH ,but thAT ALL WOULD COME TO know the TRUTH...JESUS IS THE TRUTH...KNOW HIM ,KNOW TRUTH......NO JESUS,NO TRUTH!!!!
I tell Jehovah's Witnesses to go through the narrow gate that is on the cramped road leading to life. . Matthew 7:13-14 “Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road ** LEADING OFF INTO LIFE ** and few are the ones finding it. . I ask them to read what Jehovah said would happen at the time of the end that is in every Christians bible and yet, few are the ones finding it: . Isaiah 66:5 Hear the word of Jehovah, YOU men who are trembling at his word: “YOUR brothers that are hating YOU, that are excluding YOU by reason of my name, said, ‘May Jehovah be glorified!’ He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part, and they are the ones that will be put to shame.” . [Name of person] is no longer one of JEHOVAH's Witnesses ---->> "excluding YOU by reason of MY NAME" . I ask them if they can see Jehovah's promise to disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witnesses: . "He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part"! . I then warn them that, if they go through this narrow gate they will lose their family as a consequence of the Watchtower Societies shunning policies. . Then I ask them to read what Jesus Christ said about everlasting life: . Mark 10:29-30 Jesus said: “Truly I say to YOU men, No one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news 30 who will not get a hundredfold now in this period of time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with persecutions, and in the coming system of things ** EVERLASTING LIFE ** . I then ask them if they want to live forever. . I also tell them that they can leave the organization and their congregation with dignity by telling everybody that they believe Jehovah, Jesus Christ and everything else in the bible. . Walk out with your head held high and jump for joy when you do. . What Jehovah said would happen, is now really happening! . That's Good News ................... right! . Jesus said: “Truly I say to YOU men, No one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOOD NEWS. .
I had a girlfriend when I was young that was raised in the JW church (she was inactive/disassociated and I was not saved at the time). As Easter approached, I asked her if she wanted to join me at a Easter passion play at the church that I had gone to and that my mom was still a member-- an Assemblies of God church. I'll never forget the look of shock and revulsion on her face. She flat out said no. Even though she had not been an active JW for years, the group's decrees that were drilled into her head still strongly influenced her. Understand that in the JW church, it is unacceptable to have anything to do with any other church. Just know that if you ever have the opportunity to interact with a JW, thinking that you'll just invite them to your church, your invitation will not be received well.
Good for her not attending your false church…..my husband was a born again 😮Christian until he studied the bible( kj) then he became a witness, told me he was so happy he didn’t have to bark like a dog like the other born againers did..he always thought that was strange and it is
@@kathy22268 The JW "church" distances themselves from any other church or christian. A huge red flag to anyone seeking to join a body of other believers. Churches, like people, that isolate themselves usually do so because they have something to hide.
@@kathy22268 By the way, I left the A/G church in 2013 because of my misgivings over some of their doctrinal positions. I am now a Missouri Synod Lutheran. I still go back to my old church occasionally to see old friends and I am welcomed with open arms and I'm never pressured to come back, and they still see me as a fellow brother in Christ. Oh, and I never once saw anyone bark like a dog in my entire 15 years at the A/G church. The free expression of adoration for the Lord is one of the things I miss most about that church.
Like so many, I too was a JW for 30 years, am a Born Again Christian now for 24 years. My conclusion to their behavior at their so called Memorial, they do not partake of the emblems because they do not believe in Jesus as they should. They claim He is Michael the Archangel. They need are prayer’s desperately. I look forward to the day when the last JW will turn off the lights in that last Kingdom Hall. Hallelujah!
@@travisconover4762 someone decieved you. Sad, both these cults will not find the resurrection to be in their favor. So many false teachings and so many changes and so many corruption with court cases. The internet is helping many find their way out and finding out that Jesus Christ is our God and Savior and His grace is provided so we are saved by our faith. Amen!
@georgebauerschmidt5289 Gods own Angel did not deceive me. He saved my life and told me this. This is my testimony, and I would die to uphold what I was told. I'm sure Jesus loves you, and we will see each other in paradise one day, my friend.
Hi there, thanks for your insight. I have a genuine question for you. Why is it that people stay associated with the JW church if it essentially preaches no hope? I mean if even the leaders have no hope why would ordinary people sign up and stay there?
@justinasbury4956 Satan hates Jehovah, so he incites lies with ex JWs he uses them to spread lies and hateful coments. Most Jehovahs Witnesses actually adhere and practice true bible truths. Most religions are long tainted by pagan practice as an example symbols and vary pagan holidays, and telling you Jesus is God is all Satan's lies. Anyhow, most JW s believe in the resurrection on earth where they will inherit forever because there actually are scripture to back this up. They believe that partakers are 144000 and they will reign with God in heaven. The 144000 are the only ones that partake in wine and bread. So all of them believe in a Godly Hope and forever living the glory of Jesus Christ, their King lord and savior, and the God of the universe JEHOVAH the ALMIGHTY!
The only time I've been in a kingdom hall was on July 4th, 1975 in Longview, Washington. I was 15 and visiting family. I also had accepted Jesus as LORD about a year before. Walked in and immediately became sick to my stomach and had to be taken back home. After arriving home I felt absolutely fine. The LORD didn't want me there.
I remember one time I had the craziest encounter with Jehovah Witnesses I had backsliding I was only 4 months in the Lord and I left my Christian men's home I was in and I had been coming down from meth and I've been up all night and I just wanted to get some rest and I'm sitting in San Francisco Golden Gate Park in a baseball field and here come in the middle of the afternoon not in my right mind and that's when the enemy wants to hit you the most these two guys come in suits walking toward me and I and I thought to myself oh my God it's the FBI and they invited me to their Wednesday night bible study so I went to the storage company I kept my stuff in and grab my Bible and went to their meeting and this guy tries to take my Bible and says let me give you one of our Bibles and I was like no this is my mom's Bible but if I would have known then what I know now I wouldn't have gone with them but God has kept me since then and I like to tell the Jehovah Witnesses that Jehovah already has a witness his name is Jesus and you got to get right with him
I was a JW until I was a teen, now I'm spiritual not religious. Jesus had no building, he preached everywhere to everyone. He loved everyone and forgave all. There are no divisions as we ALL are children of god. Love is the only thing that matters.
Sorry he did was he not even found in temple aged around 12 ? And he showed that the Jewish faith had lost his father's favor and now those who listened and followed him could be part of a spiritual Isreal from all nations.
How to be a child of God. John1:12-13 12 But as many as received Him (Jesus Christ), to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
This is super interesting coming from an observer. It was this business that sent me packing. For close to thirty years, my ears didn't hear what they were saying about their delineation between the 144,000 and the 'great crowd'. I had never put together that the emblems of Christ's body and blood were only for those in the new covenant with Christ [the anointed] and THEREFORE [here's the caveat] - Christ was ONLY THEIR mediator - not the 'great crowd's' mediator. The 'great crowd' had a chance at living on the earth forever IF they remained faithful and loyal to the organization [aka Jehovah] run by a few anointed men who call themselves the 'faithful and discreet slave class' [aka the Governing Body] giving their members food at the proper time. [I only remember 'sheep and the goats', 'wheat and the chaff'...not 'this class' and 'that class' within the body of Christ.] DONG! What do you mean, 'not my mediator'? There is no mediator except Christ - were they now claiming to mediate for the 'great crowd'? That's blasphemy - apostasy - heresy! I can't find a word bad enough! In who's name were we supposed to pray in, then? [I thought the speaker made a mistake, but then read it in the Watchtower study article - hard evidence.] It was like coming straight out of a coma doing 110 miles per hour with my eyes wide open. From there, everything came apart doctrinally. And it continues to do so 20 years later. I just revisited an interesting secretly recorded video of a couple of JW elders visiting Jimmy [an inactive 'publisher' - that 'publisher' title is another whole thing], talking about this 'mediator' issue. And it came down to one of the elders asking Jimmy if he believed what he read in the WT literature, or what he read in the bible? [I don't think he meant it to be a Freudian Slip] The first time ever, that I've heard an actual truthful statement from that organization! That's right, Mr. Elder - your trustworthy literature from the trustworthy 'faithful and discreet slave class' who feeds you the proper food at the proper time, directed by Holy Spirit - is at odds with God's own Word. How'd that happen, I wonder. And that conversation ended, lickity split. So, yes. Please do pray for them - it seems the ones who start asking questions are the ones who start reading the scriptures in context [even in their defunct translation], doing the literal math, or getting criminally treated [physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually] and going to the authorities for help. And in asking questions, they are treated as apostates and shunned by family and friends still in the organization [which has gotten the JW organization in trouble in Spain and Norway of late - the JW organization is now recognized as a dangerous cult in Spain, and in Norway the JW organization got their equivalent of a 501C3 taken away [no tax exemption or monies anymore] for abusing people with their shunning practices.] So now the organization is rebranding themselves in that area and denying their former treatment of disfellowshipped members, and are going after Norway in the courts to get their monetary status back. A lot of convoluted convoluting, if you ask me. As is everything that originates from that org. [They're not even a religion! Their own charter defines them as a business.] I'm going to stop here, because I've got to stop somewhere. It just never ends. Enough said. Thank you for doing this brave visit of yours, and posting this video.
when i was 16 and being a pioneer or missionary for them, I was downtown in Victoria b.c. canada and a saved Christian boy stood up with his bible on the corner, and hes saved, I went to get all snarly, and he prayed with me, Jesus made himself known, he saved me my 1st time ppraying to him which is a disfellowshipping offense. keep preaching please do you know they were watching you yes, and it did open someones eyes! I feel the holy spirit, someone was meant to see that Jesus is alive and we are meant to take communion praise God so now Im on ticktock and preaching for Jesus! halleluja
My brother in laws one Aunt was a JW. It was sad to know that they're not going to heaven. The rest of the family went to Baptist church. I pray for the mormons and JW!!
Listening to you becoming a Pastor reminded me that during my early days of asking Jesus into my life I wondered about the scripture that says "drink in moderation" without any warning the Holy Spirit said to me " In your case, you ABSTAIN" it was a shock but wonderful, I have not drunk alcohol since 1958.
As you can see from the comments, many of us have left the JW organization. When I left in the 70s, many committed suicide because they still believed it was "the truth" but just couldn't stay in the organization. Thank goodness this doesn't seem to be the case any more. On the other hand I believe the Holy Spirit led me out and therefore I knew it was not the truth, but that I had been brainwashed. When I was a witness in the 70s, we were taught that 144,000 would be in heaven and the rest of us would be on earth, so it's not a new theology. Well, they got part of it right. We are in heaven with Jesus until the New Jerusalem comes down to earth in Revelation and I believe that's where we will spend eternity in our resurrected bodies, on earth. I understand that others may not agree, but thank goodness we don't need to agree with each other about everything, except for the life, death and resurrection of Christ; that is a deal breaker. We definitely need to pray for them because there are some very wonderful people in the JWs, just as there are in all faiths. God Bless.
I was raised in this madness , Thank our Lord Jesus for rescuing me and giving me hope and everlasting life. My mother is dyed in the wool J.W. She constantly puts my church down and tries to shove these lies down my throat. I am praying for a way to try to reason with her without being disrespectful , but she shuts me down changes the subject and refuses to listen. I am greatfull that several of my cousins have been saved. I have some that are still involved with them. Prayers please !🙏🙏
Jehovah/Yahweh saved you in Jesus. And gives you the Life of Jesus to be His Child and enjoy your Love Relationship with your Dad in your New Name of Jesus Christ.
Get Greg Koukl’s book Tactics. (The sequel, Street Smarts, is good, too.) Some people need a lot of seed-planting, watering, and weed-pulling before they’re ready to receive the Truth. Tactics presents a way to reactivate fallow brain cells through questions. Or, as Greg puts it, “put a stone in their shoe” to get them thinking.
Please see christadelphian bible study and Christadelphian videos for great learning and I hope you will find some helpful scriptures to help you and your mother 😊
Thank you Pastor for sharing this!! Only listened for a few minutes… but have been reading that a lot of man-made religious denominations are questioning what they believe and have seen many hearts open to Biblical Truth!!! We’ll keep praying, showing our Jesus GLOW and we’ll reach them in Jesus’ Mighty and Holy Name I declare!!! AMEN AMEN and AMEN ⚓️⚓️⚓️
Your experience is edifying, I often wondered but never had the reason to attend a JW church, We have a few callers, so I just share my testimony with them of how Jesus came into my life. They listen but never offer any explanation or challenge me in any way.
I'm not a JW. However, over the years generations have been dressing down for church. Not unusual for people do dress in their best clothes on Sunday or Saturday.
I'm so encouraged to see all the comments of ex JWs. ❤️ My neighbor was a JW and she moved. I had some good conversations with her. She and her husband are really on my heart so I pray for them. ❤️.
If Ex-JW can't give you scriptures to back up, and prove what JW are saying is false...then why care? I would demand scripture, otherwise...I wouldn't listen to anything unless they got disfellowshipped, for something (unscriptural)!
@@mrg466 hello, are you a JW? From what I can tell, the scriptures are not #1 authority for the JWs anyway. They look to the organization for truth and direction. Are you looking for scripture that points against JW teaching?
@@sarahpfeuffer1396 I'm not here to bash JW! Simply put, if someone an adult, and they don't want to be a JW...then don't be one... simple! Otherwise I'm not here for bashing!
@@mrg466 They say you shouldnt also Pray to JESUS., which is a blatant lie. Read John 14:1314. Total proof right there , that we can also Pray to JESUS.
@@MultiBurger1 This is why, I don't care to listen to Ex-JW, because they will say untruths! Along with having a desire to be part of The World! But for those who have actually been to a Kingdom Hall....then you will be a witness to the truth...that prayer at a Kingdom (in my experience) has always ended by saying (in Jesus name, we pray ..Amen). The deceit by Ex-JW is straight up evil and they will be held accountable!
How about instead of hiding in ignorance look up the FAQ page on their website and see what they are teaching if it comes from the bible or the governing body
no,they are not making a spectacle of you, thats how you felt. Thats their way of making you feel that you are important. Im not JW but a born again Christian baptized in the Holy spirit.
Heavenly Father, we pray for people who are trapped in false religions such as those in the JW church and are deceived by doctrines of demons. LORD, have mercy on them, remove the veil from their eyes and set the captives free that they may come to know you as LORD and Savior. In Jesus' name. Amen
Show JWs these scriptures: In the book of Hebrew, God calls Jesus His son, "God": "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son...unto the Son he [God] saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever..."-Hebrews 1:1, 2, 8 JESUS is NOT the Archangel Micheal, because God said He didn't make ANY angel His begotten Son (Hebrews 1:5) ALL the ANGELS must WORSHIP JESUS (Hebrews 1:6) JESUS WAS WORSHIPPED The entire reason Jesus was crucified was because He claimed to be God (John 8:58, John 10:33) and He was worshipped as God: "And they worshipped him [JESUS], and returned to Jerusalem with great joy"-Luke 24:52 "And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him [Jesus]"-John 9:38 "...And they came and held him by the feet and worshipped him"-Mattew 28:9 33Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him [Jesus], saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God"-Matthew 14:33 Testimony of heaven and hell, by John Bunyan 1640s: "...from eternity God was sole existing, but not solitary, that the Godhead is neither confused in unity, nor divided in number. We see that there is a priority of order but no superiority among the persons of the Trinity, but that they equally have the same excellency and power, and equally are adored." www.divinerevelations.info/documents/john_bunyan_hell/
So many do. It's a lie when JWs are told they are the only ones. Millions of Christians testify, share the Gospel of good news of peace and the kingdom, and give, and feed others, help others...pointing to the real Truth and way and life through Jesus Christ.
Wow, The part of this testimony I loved the most was your relationship hearing his voice to order your steps. Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Joh 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Many JW.are told not to get too involved with non-witnesses,neighbours, different events,outside the church & so on.I'm sure they're good ppl.Just doing what they're told by the leadership.Plz just treat them like any other neighbours,& try to say hi to their kids/grandkids.I'll always remember those who wanted to include me as a child.🌺
Here is my issue with this video. What’s the purpose? Are you trying to make fun of JW’s? Build your congregation by making fun of other faiths? Build your personal portfolio by becoming a you tube click bait? As a “called of GOD pastor” as you proclaim, why not spend your time teaching the words of Christ, building the kingdom of GOD here upon the earth, letting the spirit testify of your messages truth. Why the need to make fun of people. Your video does everything I get annoyed at by people who are meant to be following and living the attributes of Christ! You consistently put yourself and congregation on another level/pedestal to others. Love them. Pray for them. Teach if possible, otherwise leave them alone to make their own choice without being made fun of.
@@rodneymcglew2302how did you get that out of his testimony? His first point was to show them love, we all at one point were dead in trespass and sins!!
You're brave. I was born into the Watchtower in 53, I left at age 47. I've seen it all. I've never attended a JW Memorial since I left. It's a black mass. You gave all those JWS something to talk about at thier after memorial parties. Once I watched a newby chug the entire gobblet of wine. He was a young convert, didn't have a clue.
I went to a JW church two weeks ago. They are very kind people. And, i made many contacts. I think someone tipped them off that i am an apologist No one answers my texts. They are not enemies, they are just told they have the true scriptures. Maybe i will have a chance to engage with them.
I have tried, I have old-school friends in the JW church. I’ve tried to just share with them scripture I found interesting. They won’t even answer me back. If it doesn’t come from a JW publication, they think it’s pagan thinking.
I watch a lot of videos about Jehovah’s Witnesses. This one hit it home for me, especially at the end where the pastor spoke of fervent prayers for the witnesses. Only God can remove the veil that’s blinding them. I started to pray right then and there.
I so agree with you! Too many people these days just wear shorts and flip-flops to church. It’s just my opinion, but I see it as disrespectful to God in his house of worship.
No, it's not. He said,'Come as you are' While He meant come regardless of your sins, and He will clean you up, I believe He also meant, it doesn't matter if you don't have nice clothes. Come anyway. If dressing up nice were the criteria, then how would the poor and jobless, etc., get the help that they need?? (whether spiritual or material, or physical). He wants us to come with our heartfelt desire to know Him. He does all the rest in time. Would you throw out the vagrant from your church???
If you are poor and don't have nice clothes that's one thing. Just do the best you can. But there are Christians that go to church as though they are going to the movies or a ball game. I visited a church and there were men wearing caps and one of them even spoke. Try that in a court of law before a judge and see what happens. Christians are not taking the Lord's House seriously. I don't know what's wrong with the pastors in some of these churches. I noticed that especially in full gospel or characteristics churches. I would never see these things years ago. But maybe this is some of what seeker sensitive means. It's hard to find a good biblical church in the times we live in. Thanks for hearing me.
If you’re broke and having troubles, it’s certainly fine. Also I f there’s a planned activity after church, such as a picnic or something like that, it’s understandable. But dressing sloppily on purpose seems lazy and rude.
I for one do not have a heavenly hope. I have an earthly hope. I don’t feel like I am in a hopeless or doom situation. We believe deeply in Jesus and his ransom.
I told tha jehovahs witnesses lady that it was a doctrine of demons . That Jesus Christ 19:19 sacrificed himself for . That God wished for everyone to be in his kingdom and I told her that without God there is nothing. That God is the source of life. That Jesus is the way the truth and the life. That he is the bread of life . That unless you eat of his flesh which is symbolized by his Body and unless you drink of his blood symbolized by the wine you have no life in you
This video is doing the rounds in ExJW groups and activists pages. I left at 16, I’m a SRA survivor through the JW’s. The Cult is horrific!! Even though I was never baptized, I’m 100% shunned by my family for speaking out.
People that didnt take the communion will recieved an everlasting Life on Earth and not in Heaven. At least you have to us them why they didnt partake. So that you will know the truth.
How prophetic. They didn't take communion b/c they're not participating in the New Covenant and not going to Heaven. Dear Jesus, please save them like you saved us. 🙏
At the Mormon funeral of my sister-in-law, the Bishop stood up and talked about all of her good works. He made the comment that he himself needed to do more good works so that he would know that he could go to heaven when he died. What kind of person wants to go to a church when the leader himself doesn't know if he's going to heaven? Pray for the Mormons as well!
Pastor, my mother and two sisters are Jehovah’s Witness, and I have attended the Memorial Services. The ones which I attended, were very interesting and pertinent to the Gospel of Jesus’s life, death and resurrection. Bearing in mind, there is no perfect religion. I would rather attend a JW Kingdom Hall than a Catholic Church, with all the statues (idols) and prayers to Mother Mary. Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.” The ushers or ministerial servants at the Kingdom Hall most likely reserved the second row for new comers/visitors, merely as a courtesy gesture. The Jehovah’s Witnesses are correct in saying that Jesus was not born on the 25th December, and as a result they do not celebrate Christmas. The Xmas ritual with the Xmas tree, trimmings, mistletoe and Santa Clause, is steeped in paganism. Easter also has pagan roots with the Easter eggs and Easter bunny and hot cross buns. It is very easy to be ‘ethnocentric’ about other peoples beliefs and religion and yet some people would be as amused about the Easter eggs and the Easter bunny at Jesus’s ransom sacrifice for our sins, as what we are about religions who worship cows. There’s not one religion that can stand up and profess to be absolutely perfect, but you won’t catch me kissing the toe of the statues in a Catholic Church, I’d rather sit and listen to a talk at a JW meeting where they back everything up with a scripture. Some religions don’t even refer to the bible but prefer man made traditions.
Thanks God for keeping me from responding to JW invitation. They tried to put me under pressure, but God sent His servant to fight for my soul. Praise be to our God Almighty !❤❤❤
Hallelujah praise the Lord for saving y’all from JW , so thankful the truth of our Saving Grace. Praying for JW to have there eyes opened for the Christ Jesus is willing. 🙏🏼
POWERFUL delivery of this story. I took my first communion when i was 9 and I’ll never forget it. Rode my bike to church that morning and listened to the sermon, And i thought hard about accepting jesus in my life and partaking in the body and blood of the lord. I might not always have been the most religious person, but i knew what i learned by that point was the truth. If i have an opportunity to participate in communion I’m taking it. Because i know the lord’s sacrifice. And i know when I’ve accept him into my life, I’m going to heaven BECAUSE of that sacrifice. To deny the acknowledgment of the lords sacrifice, in my opinion, is blasphemy if you consider yourself any kind if Christian. Such an important part of Christianity. Its all about meeting the lord and being in his good graces when you finally do. I don’t just wanna be judged when i die, i wanna walk with the greatest of great in heaven, and you know who that is.
I've been in the Truth for 40 years I'm so happy to be with my God Jehovah and his Son. It's sad that his experience is with a haughty attitude. And has no concept of Truth whatsoever.
So many ex jw.so many more need our prayers.i know one.a lovely man you would be proud to call a friend,yet his blindness to the truth is so sad.lets hope.bless all who have come to the truth.
O my this is confirmation! I love to pray intercede but lately thinking not enough just to pray/fast. Anna in the Bible praying looking for Jesus first coming. My name is Anna I tell ppl I too am looking for my Jesus His 2nd coming. ❤❤❤ This so touched me because God has been showing me HOW POWERFUL PRAYER IS.🙏
Amen , Amen , and Amen ! ! I'm tired " exhausted, and literally worn out with people continually prejudging other religions and pointing fingers just to prove to your self that you are right , grow up get a life and have a real communion with Christ .
Very interesting testimony. I'm a Christian and ex-Catholic. I thought the Catholic church was messed up but those JW folks are really out of it. I will help pray for them.
I am a committed follower of Christ. This pastor is terrific, exposing the apostasy and hypocrisy of the Jehovah's Witnesses. A cult is a cult is a cult.
I am a 77 yr old Bible studying Christian, I have a friend since 8th grade who is a devout Jehovah, and tells me he has read the Bible start to finish 4 times. But he still believes what he is taught in their beliefs. How is that possible in my mind. We discuss it and I pray for him and all that he teaches that is completely wrong. I needed to share this with you. Thank you for sharing. And God bless us all in the name of Jesus Christ our savior.
The JW “bible ” has changed so much of the real Bible to fit their agenda. Even little article words are changed. It’s very sad. Hopefully, your friend will wake up soon. At least, you’ve tried to steer him in the right direction so he can never say he wasn’t presented with truth.
Amen! I was in a weird Christian church that believed that way-afraid to take communion because they felt unworthy. Praise Jesus for delivering me and getting me to a solid Bible believing church! I love taking communion now.😊❤
I was a Jw and a born-again believer and partaker of the bread and wine, I was stared at too! Almost no one partakes you know, maybe one per congregation, yeah that was me, lol. Sadly, Jw are taught they are not worthy to partake. Jw are famous for taking things out of context. Jw disagree with so many scriptures, the only way they can get people to believe their nonsense is by taking things out of context. Now I am going to University, taking Apologetics, going for a degree in Religion with a specialty in Evangelism.
I used to be in that organization. Born again in 2019! Thanks for sharing this message with the church. Many more people need to be educated about their beliefs and how they are lead astray.
I’m an exjw, so this is really interesting for me to see. I’ll admit though that even after all this time, I felt uncomfortable hearing you talk about partaking of the emblems…guess I still have a ways to go!
This was so interesting to listen to as an exjw. I loved it! 💕 Praise the Lord, I was called from that darkness and into the light. There are so many JW's waking up right now. Please keep praying for them! 🙏
I also am an exJW and I pray daily for my indoctrinated family members. We all need to pray for that veil to be lifted. Praise Jesus for blessing me 🙏

@@rudolphferdinand3634 the soul doesn't sleep. that's not taught in the Bible, only the JW's and SDA, both considered cults and therefore contain false teaching.
Here are a few verses that challenge this idea, however, I'm sure you don't regard them at all because the men you *must* obey or face consequences according to whatever current rules are in place their Elders enforce, must be followed by you at all times:
Genesis 35:18
Luke 16:19-31
Luke 23:43
John 11:25-26
1 Peter 3:18-19
Revelation 6:9-10
God will not destroy the earth.
@@PattySnider not for nothing, but I trust the Bible more than someone that says whatever they make up on their own.
The Bible says in Revelation 6:14 that heaven departed like a scroll. Revelation 21:1 says there will be a NEW Heaven and NEW earth. Even Isaiah 24:20 says that the earth will be removed. 2 Peter 3:10 says there will be a new heaven and earth also. So, I'm confused why you have all these verses and still would make a false statement? Perhaps you haven't read the entire Bible which seems logical most people haven't.
So sad how many people that are really searching for Jesus are deceived by this cult. I pray that Jesus will reach them and open their eyes before it's too late. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Searching for Jesus in any denomination is a huge mistake. He said to meet with His Father in your closet.

Rutherford preached everyone would go to heaven in 1914 and when it didn't happen invented the teaching about 144000 going to heaven to keep the people ' hooked' please see christadelphian bible study and Christadelphian videos ( no paid clergy)
Jesus Christ taught ' no man ascends into heaven EXCEPT the son of man which is in heaven ' John 3:16 rather God is planning to send back Jesus from heaven as Psalm 110:1-3 to set up the everlasting kingdom of God on earth as Daniel 2:44 shows clearly because God wants to fill all the earth with His Glory Numbers 14:21 which happens because Jesus returns to raise the dead and bring the saints to bind the disobedient kings as Psalm 149 and Psalm 2 prophesied 😊

I was part of the JWs from age 10-15 with my mum in NZ. I remember attending a meeting once at Easter and having communion passed around and no one took it. There was a real sense of almost deluded self righteousness about everyone as they let the elements pass by, considering themselves unworthy to partake. At the time I believed it all, but praise God at 16 I found Jesus, and now consider it a privilege to take part in communion.
Ḍ
NZ is going to have some awesome anti JW stuff coming out this year with the royal commission.
Worst sermon I've ever heard
People can't be self righteous and unworthy at the same time , feeling to the extreme that every small sin prevents them from partaking of the Lord's supper , which would make them feel unworthy to partake so it's not self righteousness , most Jehovah's Witnesses strive for perfection thus their feelings of falling to short
Why would communion be passed at a JW meeting?
We're not saved by religion but we are saved by God's grace through faith in JesusChrist our Lord and Savior!!Ephesians 2:8-10
That is why Jesus said follow me he did not say follow the Catholics Protestants Jehovah's Witnesses Mormons Born Again Christians and so on he said follow me Jesus Christ is not a religion it's a relationship between us and his father we 19:01 are to build a relationship with Christ the most importantly we also supposed to build our relationship with God and adam

I never went there, I had the privileged of knowing Jesus in my young age, @@WatchingThere
When I was a missionary in Costa Rica I saw many JW's. God put it on my heart to reach out to them. Unfortunately many Christians choose not to open the door when they knock on it. I saw it as an opportunity to reach out to them. I had already been studying on different cults, but especially the Jehovah's Witnesses. I listened to Walter Martin a lot and even have his book Kingdom of the Cults. One of the first things he said that stuck with me was, when speaking to a JW, is to NEVER start out telling them that you will prove to them that JESUS is God. If you do, you will lose them and they will not listen to you no matter what you say. They will shut you down. He also encouraged to not use their "bible". I got to a point where I was able to use their own material to point them in the right direction. But if you are not familiar with them, it is best not to. What I would do was allow them to speak and share everything they wanted to. I already knew what they were going to say and the verses they would use. I never interrupted them, but when they finished that's when I would start to share.. Many times we would sit and talk for 3 hours. I saw them as a mission field that came to me and took advantage of it. I got to a point where, one time, I went to get my hair cut, the barber and I started talking about things happening in the world, but based on his wording I instantly knew he was a JW. I asked him if he was a JW and he was shocked. There are many other stories I could share, but I probably have shared way too much for people to want to continue reading this long post. They need JESUS just as much as we needed Him when we were lost in sin.
I didn't notice the length because it was interesting.
Keep sharing...they need to know the Truth.
🙏
Define a cult is that someone or an organization that doesn’t agree with you. Just asking.
I read Walter Martin ‘s books Kingdom of the cults, he wasn’t the best person to be revealing so-called cults. He had it off for Jehovah’s Witnesses like most people do and most people don’t really understand them. They’re Christians. They love God and they put their trust in Jesus Christ. I’m tired of hearing people say that they don’t. I know a lot of them and they do.
Instead of trying to witness or change Jehovah’s Witnesses, you might wanna listen to them. You could be wrong.
Pray for them please,i was caught in those lies for years, raised my children as JWs, i am now born again and pray my children who have no beliefs now will be saved someday
born again as ?????
What biblical lies are you talking about?
Remind your kids that religion and God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit are totally different. That’s y it’s called false religion. It’s not about them at all and they need to figure out the truth on their own. The Bible comes in handy for that and just pray casually if you’re talking to a friend. No matter what happens when Jesus comes I will find comfort and peace
Don't just pray for them. Also go to them.
I’m in that same boat. I love my kids so much. JW religion did them so much damage. They now don’t believe in anything and don’t wanna hear about me being saved as a born again Christian.
I wasted 40 years as a JW. What I learned is to never have any man tell me what God wants from me.

Its funny because she's probably praying for you to do the same. See how that works?
The difference is, one is blind because they don't seek God sincerely, they end up in cults out of tradition or familiarity. A christian by definition is a "follower of Jesus Christ", but Jehovah's Witness call themselves by another name because they follow Charles Taze Russel.

Pray for God to SOFTEN YOUR MOTHER'S HEART so that God's Word will fall on good ground in her and produce good fruit of the Holy Spirit.
I tell Jehovah's Witnesses to go through the narrow gate that is on the cramped road leading to life.
.
Matthew 7:13-14
“Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road ** LEADING OFF INTO LIFE ** and few are the ones finding it.
.
I ask them to read what Jehovah said would happen at the time of the end that is in every Christians bible and yet, few are the ones finding it:
.
Isaiah 66:5
Hear the word of Jehovah, YOU men who are trembling at his word: “YOUR brothers that are hating YOU, that are excluding YOU by reason of my name, said, ‘May Jehovah be glorified!’ He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part, and they are the ones that will be put to shame.”
.
[Name of person] is no longer one of JEHOVAH's Witnesses ---->> "excluding YOU by reason of MY NAME"
.
I ask them if they can see Jehovah's promise to disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witnesses:
.
"He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part"!
.
I then warn them that, if they go through this narrow gate they will lose their family as a consequence of the Watchtower Societies shunning policies.
.
Then I ask them to read what Jesus Christ said about everlasting life:
.
Mark 10:29-30
Jesus said: “Truly I say to YOU men, No one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news 30 who will not get a hundredfold now in this period of time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with persecutions, and in the coming system of things ** EVERLASTING LIFE **
.
I then ask them if they want to live forever.
.
I also tell them that they can leave the organization and their congregation with dignity by telling everybody that they believe Jehovah, Jesus Christ and everything else in the bible.
.
Walk out with your head held high and jump for joy when you do.
.
What Jehovah said would happen, is now really happening!
.
That's Good News ................... right!
.
Jesus said: “Truly I say to YOU men, No one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOOD NEWS.
.
Your mum is fine! She's got JEHOVAH
I am a ex elder who disassociated. The watchtower has changed the Bible to fit their belief system,for instance in many passages In the NWT Bible it refers to Jesus as “other”. Colossians 1:16 in the ESV says Jesus created all things,in the NWT it says Jesus created all “other” things. Now remember while Charles Russell (founder) was alive he always taught Jesus was god and taught about the union between the father,son and Holy Spirit. When he died oct 31 1915 judge Rutherford did not wait long until completely changing their belief system. Rutherford then said Jesus was created,Jesus is not god and Christmas is a pagan holiday. See the hypocrisy?
Now the members of the organization listen to 9 men in New York called the gov body. If the members don’t agree with the gov body then the gov body says they don’t agree with god… hypocrisy at its finest.
May the mighty god Jesus save their souls and feel pity for them when his returns.

@@kevinerose What do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe? Close scrutiny of their doctrinal position on such subjects as the deity of Christ, salvation, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, and the atonement shows beyond a doubt that they do not hold to orthodox Christian positions on these subjects. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe Jesus is Michael the archangel, the highest created being. This contradicts many passages of Scripture that clearly declare Jesus to be God (John 1:1, 14; 8:58; 10:30). Jehovah’s Witnesses believe salvation is obtained by a combination of faith, good works, and obedience. This contradicts Scripture, which declares salvation to be received by grace through faith (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5). Jehovah’s Witnesses reject the doctrine of the Trinity, believing Jesus to be a created being and the Holy Spirit to essentially be the inanimate power of God. Jehovah’s Witnesses reject the concept of Christ’s substitutionary atonement and instead hold to a ransom theory, that Jesus’ death was a ransom payment for Adam’s sin.
How do the Jehovah’s Witnesses justify these unbiblical doctrines? First, they claim that the church has corrupted the Bible over the centuries; thus, they have re-translated the Bible to reflect their unique doctrines-the result is the New World Translation. The New World Translation has gone through numerous editions, as the Jehovah’s Witnesses discover more and more passages of Scripture that contradict their doctrines.
The Watchtower bases its beliefs and doctrines on the original and expanded teachings of Charles Taze Russell, Judge Joseph Franklin Rutherford, and their successors. The governing body of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society claims sole authority to interpret Scripture. In other words, what the governing body says concerning any scriptural passage is viewed as the last word, and independent thinking is strongly discouraged. This is in direct opposition to Paul’s admonition to Timothy (and to us as well) to study to be approved by God, so that we need not be ashamed as we correctly handle the Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15). God’s children are to be like the Berean Christians, who searched the Scriptures daily to see if the things they were being taught lined up with the Word (Acts 17:11).
There is probably no religious group that is more faithful than the Jehovah’s Witnesses at spreading their message. Unfortunately, the message is full of distortions, deceptions, and false doctrine. May God open the eyes of the Jehovah’s Witnesses to the truth of the gospel and the true teaching of God’s Word.
@@jeffnoble9757 First, the NWT mistranslates the Greek Scriptures in order to expunge the deity of Jesus Christ. Against all credible scholarship, In the NWT translation, Jesus, the eternal Word of God, is downgraded from God to “a” god in John 1. Since the release of the NT translation in 1950, this version has been criticized for changing the meaning and words of the text to fit JW doctrine.
A prime example is John 1:1. Both the ESV and NIV translate that verse as, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
The NWT version mistranslates the passage as “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.” The addition of the indefinite article “a” is added to avoid the conclusion that Jesus is God. This is clearly changing the written Word of God to fit the organization’s doctrine - that Jesus is not the eternal Word God “made flesh” (John 1:14).
Jesus is demoted from the Creator of all things to a mere creature who created all other things in Colossians 1. According to the translation committee of the Watchtower Society, as noted above, Jesus was created by God as the archangel Michael, during his earthly sojourn was merely human, and after his crucifixion was recreated an immaterial spirit creature.
Christianity has always maintained from the beginning that Jesus is “fully God and full man”. While Jesus never directly says, “I am God” in the Scriptures, He makes it very clear to those around Him, especially the Pharisees and Sadducees, that He is God. John 10:30 says, “I and the Father are one.” Jesus was claiming deity, and, interestingly enough, He did not deny that He was God. Another example is John 20:28, when Thomas says, “My Lord and my God!” Again, Jesus does not correct Him by saying that He is not God. There are many other examples one can find in the Scriptures regarding Jesus’ rightful place in heaven.
John 10:38 “...the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” The Father and Jesus share the same divine nature.
John 8:58: “Most assuredly I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM”. Here Jesus is expressing His eternal nature -that before Abraham was born, He was already existing. In fact, here Jesus uses the exact same expression that God spoke to Moses out of the burning bush.

They might get to the point in being so intimidated by you that they will ask you to leave. That happened to Me in my Hometown with all the organizations there. Some even got court orders against Me to stay 500 meters away when they have meetings. They know that even seeing Me while they are on their way to church will disturb them for the whole duration of their meeting.
Just remember what Jesus said when they ask you to leave. They are taking your cloke and you have to give the garment too. Meaning leaving in Love of Grace to them. Telling them you Forgive them and will from now on Forgive them "outside of their building" to do the 70 x 7 Forgiveness to them always. Just as you have done while having been inside and in their presence. Only the meetings changed and not the Power of Forgiveness in Grace. And then they enter your Grace and exist in your Grace for ever. Outside of their building. Or until they confess. But pride will keep them in your Grace. Specially those in charge.
I am walking in Grace now already 24 years in my hometown with the organizations who are "persecuting Me" in having chased Me away.
It is Really a Huge "Joyful" Life you enter then. Where your "Joy" and their disgrace when you meet in meetings of 2 and 3 will be their Discipline from the Living God for ever. Some change and some never do. Their choice. But you learn the Power to Love your enemies in Living it. God's Love manifesting in you against their hatred is then your Power to change them.
Luke 6: 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
Have you read the book Tactics by Greg Koukl? It dovetails with your approach and might give you more tools for witnessing.
Their teaching some go to heaven and some don't is easy to defeat because Jesus Christ taught his disciples 'no man ascends into heaven EXCEPT the son of man which is in heaven ' John 3:13 and showing the true purpose of God being to fill all the earth with His Glory Numbers 14:21 when he spends back Jesus Christ from heaven as Psalm 110:1-3 shows clearly is because Jesus must raise the dead (John 5) bring the saints with him to defeat the Kings of the earth as Psalm 149 shows and doing so set up the everlasting kingdom of God on earth Daniel 2: 44😊. Please see christadelphian bible study and Christadelphian videos for great learning experience and you will be glad 😊😊😊
There is a Yt channel " Questions Jehovah's witnesses can but will not answer", There's a list of questions in the description you can print off that will help you witness to a JWS.
You can't reason with cult members. Just invite them to your table and befriend them.
Brilliant! And I love one of his opening statements ‘Jehovah’s witnesses, in fact anyone who doesn’t know the Lord - they’re not our enemies!’
Yes they’re not our enemies but we are their’s . If you’re not a Jehovah witness or had been expelled from their congregation.
Thank you for your faithfulness in listening to the Lords direction in attending this observance and partaking of the bread and wine! I was saved 2 years ago out of the JWs after being born and raised knowing no different for over 45 years. My mom was saved a year ago at 73. The spirit is moving and speaking to those who will hear him and coming out of these deceptive demonic cults. So yes, please keep praying and fasting for those who are still blinded, as well as those who have left and lost all faith. That they would see the Bible is still true, but the God they were taught wasn’t true. And they can find peace and grace in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Unbelievable that the whole sacrifice of Christ is ' used' but not adhered to as Jesus taught in John 17 and 1 Corinthians chapter 15
Please see christadelphian bible study and Christadelphian videos
@@billweir8824 I agree! It's astonishing that the deception is so heavy to blind their minds and hearts from what they are doing (or rather not doing)!
It’s not called saved
It is called conversion
@@anneendrey3946 you can call it whatever you want. Not sure why you need to argue that point. Is it a salvation issue to call it the right term? Would Jesus need to argue that term? Pray about it. Think about what you're doing on the internet and the message your giving to people. Do they see Jesus through you?
When I was a JW, I always questioned this event. They never talk about Jesus' love and sacrifice for us. I am sooooo grateful that Jesus found me! Thank you Jesus for you love and sacrifice for us!
Jehovah your Dad, died in Jesus for you. To give birth to you in Jesus to be His Child in Jesus. Jesus is your New Name and Life from Yahweh/Jehovah to you.

@@jimthomas1989 What about them?
I actually appreciate the Jehovah witnesses. I admire their tenacity to try to spead- what they think is the gospel to others. They actually woke me up spiritually and then I became a reborn Christian. So I'm a little softer on them.
I had the save experience! A JW very nice lady came to my house when I had an infant and a two year old. She sat with me and we did a Bible study. I had so much stress from bringing a mom at the time. She told me to throw my problems on God. Alone, later I physically threw my stress on God , throwing my arms out, yelling for God to take it. Life got better!
I never took in non Christian ideas. I just enjoyed her encouragement to read the Bible, her kindness. Today I am grateful to her for rekindling the fire in me to get back to love for God and his Word.
I agree
Thank you brother. I’m a former JW and I partook of the bread and wine and I video’d the whole thing. I’m a born again Christian now, praise God. I’m glad you can raise awareness.
I resigned by letter from the JW religion in January. Did I know Jesus? Well, Jesus directed us to pray to Heavenly Father. My prayers were answered, so He was listening. I felt very close to God. So the reason I am not an ex JW activist is because Heavenly Father blesses those that love Him and reflect His qualities, whatever religion they are in. All religions are man made with pharisee type rules. The refreshment and light load Jesus promised comes when we worship God "in Spirit and Truth", as he explained to the Samaritan woman at the well. I have felt such freedom since January - it is a beautiful thing and decades of depression left me overnight. Amen and Amen.
your Mormon/LDS now?
The longer you are a Christian the more you’ll refer to who you call “Heavenly Father” simply as God or God the father. There is certain terminology they drill into people that is simply not common reference in Christian circles. Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven! Read a King James Bible. Start in John but read the entire New Testament. Read it very slowly and while you’re reading the words, just talk to the Lord, (Jesus) and ask Him for discernment ask Him to reveal the deeper meaning of what you are reading. Be Blessed!
@@1god2674 No dear. Worshipping in "Spirit and Truth", as Jesus explained to the Samaritan woman, means not having to go to a place to worship God. I am not a member of any religion. Religions are manmade. Worshipping men is idolatry. God gave us the Bible. I read my Bible and pray to God in the name of Jesus. I try to be good like Jesus, using his example in the Bible. That is all we need. Religions only want your money and obedience - they are modern day Pharisees and false prophets. We have everything we need at home. A Bible and prayer. We can talk to God any time. He never changes. His standards never change. We can thank Him for our food and ask for forgiveness in the name of Jesus.
I would encourage you to look at revelation 22:12-13 NT, and then reference back to Isaiah 44:6-8. Also John 8:48-59 and reference that to Exodus 3:14. Jesus is eternal , the word of God -Hebrews 1:3 . The word expresses and makes known what is unseen. So the Son is revealing the Father to us in physical reality. Also, God is love. He exists in a self-sustaining relationship, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Colossians 1:16 is great, Jesus created all things that are in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. If Jesus was created, this would make no sense.
@@redxpro1 Jesus is the Way of your Dad, Jehovah. Where you are entering in the Name of Jesus into His presence. Jesus is no Father. But the Life of your Father, Jehovah to you to Live and Enjoy.
I was associated with the JWs for many years but I was worried about the bible that they gave me was wrong so I spoke to them about it and said that I was going to pray about it and I did and God showed me all the changes that they had made, they could not accept that God had replied to me, I tried to give them back their book but they wouldn’t take it, I have been a born again Christian for 17 years now amen
I'm doing Bible study with them even today and last week I told them that God spoke to me all the time but they don't believe me
@@dorothyingram2998 don’t become a JW’ this is a cult and you are in danger of losing your soul, find a good church that teaches the pure truth and become born again as this is what Jesus Christ said you must do to enter the kingdom of heaven

Please don't waste your time. If you have to be a baptized witness to be saved where is the sacrifice of Jesus Christ coming into it.
They baptize into Father Son and God's Spirit filled organization or something like that.
They minimize Jesus and disregard the Holy Spirit. Calling him God's active force...what an insult .
Also they cherry pick versus, they fine out on "the wages of sin is death. And then think once you died you've paid for your sins BUT the rest of the scripture states, but the free gift from God of eternal life THROUGH Jesus Christ"
So many MANY accounts of them diminishing Jesus Christ who is the fullness of God the Father.
Jesus told Nicodemus you must be Born Again in Book of John...of water and spirit.
They absolutely forget that.
You study with them.
You become a door knocker.
You have to answer questions from elders to consider yourself for to be a "witness" and implied you are saved???
Wrong
I AM the Way the TRUTH and the Life NO MAN gets to the Father except by me. John 14:6
There's so much more.
My advice after a mother in JWs until death (And declared she knew it was not being a JW that saved you it was Jesus Christ) and me studying with them for years...is...
RUN, RUN, RUN.
🙏🙏🙏
please share thos changes with us.
@@unacharmer the main one is the New International Version of the Bible, John 3:3 reads: Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” In the New Living translation, the verse reads: Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

Great! I spent the last year going to JW meetings, they are really nice people, but they need to know Jesus. Had some good conversations
I've glanced through most of the comments and apparently we are the only ones to have taken communion at a Kingdom Hall. I was a believer of only a few years and my Aunt, Uncle, and my councins were all JWs. They invited me and maybe I wasn't in the second role, but I took the communion believing I would someday stand before the Lord in His presence. Sixty years later, I still take communion but in a Bible believing church every month. Thank you for allowing me to experience that memory. I still pray for my cousins and not sure where they stand today.
which bible believing church?
The Apostle Paul says that we carry on observing communion until Jesus returns. (1 Corinthians Chapter 11 Verse 26). Why do JWs observe the Lord's Evening Meal if they believe Jesus has returned???
Do you believe Jesus has returned?
@@daviddrew3372 No. Everyone on Earth will see him returning when he comes. Jesus himself told us that we don't know when he will return.
They also say the age if the gentiles is over, so if it's over why bother door knocking
EXACTLY! They claim Jesus returned in 1914.
Excellent point!!! 😊 Please see christadelphian bible study for great talks by speakers worldwide! Ordinary brethren like us WHO have produced really interesting and helpful talks I love to listen to each evening😊
I was raised in the JW religion and stepped away once I graduated high school. Praise God He brought me back to Him and showed me His great love through the grace He’s given us through Christ Jesus. I was never taught of His love and grace as a child but only to be fearful of messing up and not being worthy to survive Armageddon. So many rules and living in fear. When I left I thought I was going to hell. But God!! He left the 99 to find me. I am so thankful to be born again through Christ Jesus who died for our sins and provided the way to know and be close to God. I never thought about that before how they celebrate the memorial of His death and don’t acknowledge that He is alive sitting next to God the Father in Heaven. My parents are still active members in that religion. My grown sisters have both struggled to find their way after separating from that religion. I continue to pray for all of them. God prepares hearts and calls those who are His to Him. He removes veils and helps us to see. Abba Father thank You for opening my eyes. Please open the eyes of all those caught in those false belief systems. Please show them Your great love and the importance of communing with You. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen 🙏🏻
Praise The Lord!
Praise God He is SO GOOD,He doesnt want ANYONE TO PERISH ,but thAT ALL WOULD COME TO know the TRUTH...JESUS IS THE TRUTH...KNOW HIM ,KNOW TRUTH......NO JESUS,NO TRUTH!!!!
What false believes are you actually talking about? Maybe you’re teaching or false in compared to the Bible might want to think of that.
Jesus said I Am. That means He said He is God. If you don't believe that, you don't believe Him. You are just as well off with islam's Jesus.
I tell Jehovah's Witnesses to go through the narrow gate that is on the cramped road leading to life.
.
Matthew 7:13-14
“Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road ** LEADING OFF INTO LIFE ** and few are the ones finding it.
.
I ask them to read what Jehovah said would happen at the time of the end that is in every Christians bible and yet, few are the ones finding it:
.
Isaiah 66:5
Hear the word of Jehovah, YOU men who are trembling at his word: “YOUR brothers that are hating YOU, that are excluding YOU by reason of my name, said, ‘May Jehovah be glorified!’ He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part, and they are the ones that will be put to shame.”
.
[Name of person] is no longer one of JEHOVAH's Witnesses ---->> "excluding YOU by reason of MY NAME"
.
I ask them if they can see Jehovah's promise to disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witnesses:
.
"He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part"!
.
I then warn them that, if they go through this narrow gate they will lose their family as a consequence of the Watchtower Societies shunning policies.
.
Then I ask them to read what Jesus Christ said about everlasting life:
.
Mark 10:29-30
Jesus said: “Truly I say to YOU men, No one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news 30 who will not get a hundredfold now in this period of time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with persecutions, and in the coming system of things ** EVERLASTING LIFE **
.
I then ask them if they want to live forever.
.
I also tell them that they can leave the organization and their congregation with dignity by telling everybody that they believe Jehovah, Jesus Christ and everything else in the bible.
.
Walk out with your head held high and jump for joy when you do.
.
What Jehovah said would happen, is now really happening!
.
That's Good News ................... right!
.
Jesus said: “Truly I say to YOU men, No one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOOD NEWS.

I had a girlfriend when I was young that was raised in the JW church (she was inactive/disassociated and I was not saved at the time). As Easter approached, I asked her if she wanted to join me at a Easter passion play at the church that I had gone to and that my mom was still a member-- an Assemblies of God church. I'll never forget the look of shock and revulsion on her face. She flat out said no. Even though she had not been an active JW for years, the group's decrees that were drilled into her head still strongly influenced her.
Understand that in the JW church, it is unacceptable to have anything to do with any other church. Just know that if you ever have the opportunity to interact with a JW, thinking that you'll just invite them to your church, your invitation will not be received well.
Good for her not attending your false church…..my husband was a born again 😮Christian until he studied the bible( kj) then he became a witness, told me he was so happy he didn’t have to bark like a dog like the other born againers did..he always thought that was strange and it is
@@kathy22268 The JW "church" distances themselves from any other church or christian. A huge red flag to anyone seeking to join a body of other believers. Churches, like people, that isolate themselves usually do so because they have something to hide.
@@kathy22268 By the way, I left the A/G church in 2013 because of my misgivings over some of their doctrinal positions. I am now a Missouri Synod Lutheran. I still go back to my old church occasionally to see old friends and I am welcomed with open arms and I'm never pressured to come back, and they still see me as a fellow brother in Christ.
Oh, and I never once saw anyone bark like a dog in my entire 15 years at the A/G church. The free expression of adoration for the Lord is one of the things I miss most about that church.
Like so many, I too was a JW for 30 years, am a Born Again Christian now for 24 years. My conclusion to their behavior at their so called Memorial, they do not partake of the emblems because they do not believe in Jesus as they should. They claim He is Michael the Archangel. They need are prayer’s desperately. I look forward to the day when the last JW will turn off the lights in that last Kingdom Hall. Hallelujah!
Not going to happen I've seen the spirit realm an angel told me Jehovah witnesses are acceptable in the eyes of Jehovah. 7th day Adventist too.
@@travisconover4762 someone decieved you. Sad, both these cults will not find the resurrection to be in their favor. So many false teachings and so many changes and so many corruption with court cases. The internet is helping many find their way out and finding out that Jesus Christ is our God and Savior and His grace is provided so we are saved by our faith. Amen!
@georgebauerschmidt5289 Gods own Angel did not deceive me. He saved my life and told me this. This is my testimony, and I would die to uphold what I was told. I'm sure Jesus loves you, and we will see each other in paradise one day, my friend.
Hi there, thanks for your insight. I have a genuine question for you. Why is it that people stay associated with the JW church if it essentially preaches no hope? I mean if even the leaders have no hope why would ordinary people sign up and stay there?
@justinasbury4956 Satan hates Jehovah, so he incites lies with ex JWs he uses them to spread lies and hateful coments. Most Jehovahs Witnesses actually adhere and practice true bible truths. Most religions are long tainted by pagan practice as an example symbols and vary pagan holidays, and telling you Jesus is God is all Satan's lies. Anyhow, most JW s believe in the resurrection on earth where they will inherit forever because there actually are scripture to back this up. They believe that partakers are 144000 and they will reign with God in heaven. The 144000 are the only ones that partake in wine and bread. So all of them believe in a Godly Hope and forever living the glory of Jesus Christ, their King lord and savior, and the God of the universe JEHOVAH the ALMIGHTY!
The only time I've been in a kingdom hall was on July 4th, 1975 in Longview, Washington. I was 15 and visiting family. I also had accepted Jesus as LORD about a year before. Walked in and immediately became sick to my stomach and had to be taken back home. After arriving home I felt absolutely fine. The LORD didn't want me there.
I remember one time I had the craziest encounter with Jehovah Witnesses I had backsliding I was only 4 months in the Lord and I left my Christian men's home I was in and I had been coming down from meth and I've been up all night and I just wanted to get some rest and I'm sitting in San Francisco Golden Gate Park in a baseball field and here come in the middle of the afternoon not in my right mind and that's when the enemy wants to hit you the most these two guys come in suits walking toward me and I and I thought to myself oh my God it's the FBI and they invited me to their Wednesday night bible study so I went to the storage company I kept my stuff in and grab my Bible and went to their meeting and this guy tries to take my Bible and says let me give you one of our Bibles and I was like no this is my mom's Bible but if I would have known then what I know now I wouldn't have gone with them but God has kept me since then and I like to tell the Jehovah Witnesses that Jehovah already has a witness his name is Jesus and you got to get right with him
Well said.

@@roblane2978 What scriptures are you quoting please?
How to be a child of God.
John1:12-13
12 But as many as received Him (Jesus Christ), to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
13who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
This is super interesting coming from an observer.
It was this business that sent me packing. For close to thirty years, my ears didn't hear what they were saying about their delineation between the 144,000 and the 'great crowd'. I had never put together that the emblems of Christ's body and blood were only for those in the new covenant with Christ [the anointed] and THEREFORE [here's the caveat] - Christ was ONLY THEIR mediator - not the 'great crowd's' mediator. The 'great crowd' had a chance at living on the earth forever IF they remained faithful and loyal to the organization [aka Jehovah] run by a few anointed men who call themselves the 'faithful and discreet slave class' [aka the Governing Body] giving their members food at the proper time. [I only remember 'sheep and the goats', 'wheat and the chaff'...not 'this class' and 'that class' within the body of Christ.]
DONG! What do you mean, 'not my mediator'? There is no mediator except Christ - were they now claiming to mediate for the 'great crowd'? That's blasphemy - apostasy - heresy! I can't find a word bad enough! In who's name were we supposed to pray in, then? [I thought the speaker made a mistake, but then read it in the Watchtower study article - hard evidence.] It was like coming straight out of a coma doing 110 miles per hour with my eyes wide open. From there, everything came apart doctrinally. And it continues to do so 20 years later.
I just revisited an interesting secretly recorded video of a couple of JW elders visiting Jimmy [an inactive 'publisher' - that 'publisher' title is another whole thing], talking about this 'mediator' issue. And it came down to one of the elders asking Jimmy if he believed what he read in the WT literature, or what he read in the bible? [I don't think he meant it to be a Freudian Slip] The first time ever, that I've heard an actual truthful statement from that organization! That's right, Mr. Elder - your trustworthy literature from the trustworthy 'faithful and discreet slave class' who feeds you the proper food at the proper time, directed by Holy Spirit - is at odds with God's own Word. How'd that happen, I wonder. And that conversation ended, lickity split.
So, yes. Please do pray for them - it seems the ones who start asking questions are the ones who start reading the scriptures in context [even in their defunct translation], doing the literal math, or getting criminally treated [physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually] and going to the authorities for help. And in asking questions, they are treated as apostates and shunned by family and friends still in the organization [which has gotten the JW organization in trouble in Spain and Norway of late - the JW organization is now recognized as a dangerous cult in Spain, and in Norway the JW organization got their equivalent of a 501C3 taken away [no tax exemption or monies anymore] for abusing people with their shunning practices.] So now the organization is rebranding themselves in that area and denying their former treatment of disfellowshipped members, and are going after Norway in the courts to get their monetary status back. A lot of convoluted convoluting, if you ask me. As is everything that originates from that org. [They're not even a religion! Their own charter defines them as a business.] I'm going to stop here, because I've got to stop somewhere. It just never ends. Enough said.
Thank you for doing this brave visit of yours, and posting this video.
Wow!
when i was 16 and being a pioneer or missionary for them, I was downtown in Victoria b.c. canada and a saved Christian boy stood up with his bible on the corner, and hes saved, I went to get all snarly, and he prayed with me, Jesus made himself known, he saved me my 1st time ppraying to him which is a disfellowshipping offense. keep preaching please
do you know they were watching you yes, and it did open someones eyes! I feel the holy spirit, someone was meant to see that Jesus is alive and we are meant to take communion praise God
so now Im on ticktock and preaching for Jesus! halleluja

My brother in laws one Aunt was a JW. It was sad to know that they're not going to heaven. The rest of the family went to Baptist church. I pray for the mormons and JW!!
Listening to you becoming a Pastor reminded me that during my early days of asking Jesus into my life I wondered about the scripture that says "drink in moderation" without any warning the Holy Spirit said to me " In your case, you ABSTAIN" it was a shock but wonderful, I have not drunk alcohol since 1958.
As you can see from the comments, many of us have left the JW organization. When I left in the 70s, many committed suicide because they still believed it was "the truth" but just couldn't stay in the organization. Thank goodness this doesn't seem to be the case any more. On the other hand I believe the Holy Spirit led me out and therefore I knew it was not the truth, but that I had been brainwashed. When I was a witness in the 70s, we were taught that 144,000 would be in heaven and the rest of us would be on earth, so it's not a new theology. Well, they got part of it right. We are in heaven with Jesus until the New Jerusalem comes down to earth in Revelation and I believe that's where we will spend eternity in our resurrected bodies, on earth. I understand that others may not agree, but thank goodness we don't need to agree with each other about everything, except for the life, death and resurrection of Christ; that is a deal breaker. We definitely need to pray for them because there are some very wonderful people in the JWs, just as there are in all faiths. God Bless.
and the bible says exactly that yet so many avoid that like its a plague.
I was raised in this madness , Thank our Lord Jesus for rescuing me and giving me hope and everlasting life. My mother is dyed in the wool J.W.

Jehovah/Yahweh saved you in Jesus. And gives you the Life of Jesus to be His Child and enjoy your Love Relationship with your Dad in your New Name of Jesus Christ.
Get Greg Koukl’s book Tactics. (The sequel, Street Smarts, is good, too.) Some people need a lot of seed-planting, watering, and weed-pulling before they’re ready to receive the Truth.

I'm not a JW. However, over the years generations have been dressing down for church. Not unusual for people do dress in their best clothes on Sunday or Saturday.
I'm so encouraged to see all the comments of ex JWs. ❤️ My neighbor was a JW and she moved. I had some good conversations with her. She and her husband are really on my heart so I pray for them. ❤️.
If Ex-JW can't give you scriptures to back up, and prove what JW are saying is false...then why care? I would demand scripture, otherwise...I wouldn't listen to anything unless they got disfellowshipped, for something (unscriptural)!
@@mrg466 hello, are you a JW? From what I can tell, the scriptures are not #1 authority for the JWs anyway. They look to the organization for truth and direction. Are you looking for scripture that points against JW teaching?
@@sarahpfeuffer1396 I'm not here to bash JW! Simply put, if someone an adult, and they don't want to be a JW...then don't be one... simple! Otherwise I'm not here for bashing!
@@mrg466 They say you shouldnt also Pray to JESUS., which is a blatant lie. Read John 14:1314. Total proof right there , that we can also Pray to JESUS.
@@MultiBurger1 This is why, I don't care to listen to Ex-JW, because they will say untruths! Along with having a desire to be part of The World! But for those who have actually been to a Kingdom Hall....then you will be a witness to the truth...that prayer at a Kingdom (in my experience) has always ended by saying (in Jesus name, we pray ..Amen). The deceit by Ex-JW is straight up evil and they will be held accountable!
In rejecting Communion, you are rejecting Christ. That's why they make a big deal of rejecting Communion.
Thank you pastor loving people even if we don't agree with their belief, is a Christ way
Its a dangerous cult! Run!!
spoken just like someone ignorant and afraid. Imagine Jesus and the apostles had such and attitude with the roman rulers and the pharisees.
They don't know The holy spirit and Jesus. But they are not violence only blindness
How about instead of hiding in ignorance look up the FAQ page on their website and see what they are teaching if it comes from the bible or the governing body
Cults have a human leader. like a Pope. JW claim Christ is thier leader.
@@shadstewart9253 Hey. Come back and debate? See if you can defend this awful cult
I was JW all my life, left the organization, went on a downward spiral until Jesus Saved me. Hallelujah 🙏🏽
Thank you Jesus!
What I love about moments like this is it gives us Christian’s a chance to feel like outsiders at Christian events. It’s great!
no,they are not making a spectacle of you, thats how you felt. Thats their way of making you feel that you are important. Im not JW but a born again Christian baptized in the Holy spirit.
Yes, i thought that....honour where honour is due.
Thank you for the teaching of praying for those who have not yet been to the Saviour the Lord Jesus and that the veil is yet over their eyes.
We all need to be praying 🙏🏻
Heavenly Father, we pray for people who are trapped in false religions such as those in the JW church and are deceived by doctrines of demons. LORD, have mercy on them, remove the veil from their eyes and set the captives free that they may come to know you as LORD and Savior. In Jesus' name. Amen
Show JWs these scriptures:
In the book of Hebrew, God calls Jesus His son, "God":
"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son...unto the Son he [God] saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever..."-Hebrews 1:1, 2, 8
JESUS is NOT the Archangel Micheal, because God said He didn't make ANY angel His begotten Son (Hebrews 1:5)
ALL the ANGELS must WORSHIP JESUS (Hebrews 1:6)
JESUS WAS WORSHIPPED
The entire reason Jesus was crucified was because He claimed to be God (John 8:58, John 10:33) and He was worshipped as God:
"And they worshipped him [JESUS], and returned to Jerusalem with great joy"-Luke 24:52
"And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him [Jesus]"-John 9:38
"...And they came and held him by the feet and worshipped him"-Mattew 28:9
33Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him [Jesus], saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God"-Matthew 14:33
Testimony of heaven and hell, by John Bunyan 1640s:
"...from eternity God was sole existing, but not solitary, that the Godhead is neither confused in unity, nor divided in number. We see that there is a priority of order but no superiority among the persons of the Trinity, but that they equally have the same excellency and power, and equally are adored."

I'm an ex-JW. Spent over 20 years. Now I'm save by the Grace of Jesus Christ since Jan 2021
Jesus open the jehovah witnesses to the Truth of God's Holy Word the Bible in Jesus name I pray Amen 🙏 Jesus our Savior and our God Hallelujah Amen 🙏
Hallelujah means praise Jehovah lol.
I will start praying for them tonight I feel for anyone who's lead away from jesus 🙏
Prayers alone will not be enough, it will require us to go out and put our self on the line. Jesus left us here so we can share good news.
So many do. It's a lie when JWs are told they are the only ones. Millions of Christians testify, share the Gospel of good news of peace and the kingdom, and give, and feed others, help others...pointing to the real Truth and way and life through Jesus Christ.
Wow, The part of this testimony I loved the most was your relationship hearing his voice to order your steps.
Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Joh 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Wow - I'm trying to wrap my mind around this. Our neighbors are JW, but I see the distancing when it comes to interacting with anyone but other JW's.
Many JW.are told not to get too involved with non-witnesses,neighbours, different events,outside the church & so on.I'm sure they're good ppl.Just doing what they're told by the leadership.Plz just treat them like any other neighbours,& try to say hi to their kids/grandkids.I'll always remember those who wanted to include me as a child.🌺
Here is my issue with this video.
What’s the purpose? Are you trying to make fun of JW’s? Build your congregation by making fun of other faiths? Build your personal portfolio by becoming a you tube click bait?
As a “called of GOD pastor” as you proclaim, why not spend your time teaching the words of Christ, building the kingdom of GOD here upon the earth, letting the spirit testify of your messages truth. Why the need to make fun of people.
Your video does everything I get annoyed at by people who are meant to be following and living the attributes of Christ! You consistently put yourself and congregation on another level/pedestal to others. Love them. Pray for them. Teach if possible, otherwise leave them alone to make their own choice without being made fun of.
@@rodneymcglew2302 I think they are .
I know many jws and they're wonderful people
@@rodneymcglew2302how did you get that out of his testimony? His first point was to show them love, we all at one point were dead in trespass and sins!!
You're brave. I was born into the Watchtower in 53, I left at age 47. I've seen it all. I've never attended a JW Memorial since I left. It's a black mass. You gave all those JWS something to talk about at thier after memorial parties.
Once I watched a newby chug the entire gobblet of wine. He was a young convert, didn't have a clue.
Great story!
I agree that we are to pray for the Jehovah Witnesses. Jesus loves them and died for them.
Thank you for sharing :)
I went to a JW church two weeks ago. They are very kind people. And, i made many contacts. I think someone tipped them off that i am an apologist No one answers my texts. They are not enemies, they are just told they have the true scriptures. Maybe i will have a chance to engage with them.
I have tried, I have old-school friends in the JW church. I’ve tried to just share with them scripture I found interesting. They won’t even answer me back. If it doesn’t come from a JW publication, they think it’s pagan thinking.
Sorry to be dumb but, what is an apologist?
@@donnyetta not a dumb question, an apologist (greek=apologia) is one who studies their religious texts to defend their faith.
@@josephtermeer5196 Thank you very much
You made the best choice
I watch a lot of videos about Jehovah’s Witnesses. This one hit it home for me, especially at the end where the pastor spoke of fervent prayers for the witnesses. Only God can remove the veil that’s blinding them.
I started to pray right then and there.
I agree people should dress nice for church. God is God dress nice. People dress there best to see the queen. But not for God. Jesus. You should.
I so agree with you! Too many people these days just wear shorts and flip-flops to church. It’s just my opinion, but I see it as disrespectful to God in his house of worship.
No, it's not. He said,'Come as you are' While He meant come regardless of your sins, and He will clean you up, I believe He also meant, it doesn't matter if you don't have nice clothes. Come anyway. If dressing up nice were the criteria, then how would the poor and jobless, etc., get the help that they need?? (whether spiritual or material, or physical). He wants us to come with our heartfelt desire to know Him. He does all the rest in time. Would you throw out the vagrant from your church???
Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart.
If you are poor and don't have nice clothes that's one thing. Just do the best you can. But there are Christians that go to church as though they are going to the movies or a ball game. I visited a church and there were men wearing caps and one of them even spoke. Try that in a court of law before a judge and see what happens. Christians are not taking the Lord's House seriously. I don't know what's wrong with the pastors in some of these churches. I noticed that especially in full gospel or characteristics churches. I would never see these things years ago. But maybe this is some of what seeker sensitive means. It's hard to find a good biblical church in the times we live in. Thanks for hearing me.
If you’re broke and having troubles, it’s certainly fine. Also I f there’s a planned activity after church, such as a picnic or something like that, it’s understandable. But dressing sloppily on purpose seems lazy and rude.
its so sad they are taught they are not worthy to be in communion with The Lord Jesus Christ
I for one do not have a heavenly hope. I have an earthly hope. I don’t feel like I am in a hopeless or doom situation. We believe deeply in Jesus and his ransom.
I told tha jehovahs witnesses lady that it was a doctrine of demons . That Jesus Christ 19:19 sacrificed himself for . That God wished for everyone to be in his kingdom and I told her that without God there is nothing. That God is the source of life. That Jesus is the way the truth and the life. That he is the bread of life . That unless you eat of his flesh which is symbolized by his Body and unless you drink of his blood symbolized by the wine you have no life in you
This video is doing the rounds in ExJW groups and activists pages.
I left at 16, I’m a SRA survivor through the JW’s. The Cult is horrific!!
Even though I was never baptized, I’m 100% shunned by my family for speaking out.

People that didnt take the communion will recieved an everlasting Life on Earth and not in Heaven. At least you have to us them why they didnt partake. So that you will know the truth.
How prophetic. They didn't take communion b/c they're not participating in the New Covenant and not going to Heaven. Dear Jesus, please save them like you saved us. 🙏
I never knew but we were literally REJECTING Christ every year. Thinking we. Were doing Gods will
@@nomadicrecovery1586Isn't it kind of creepy that they collectively reject the blood and body of Christ as their most important meeting every year?
Im an ex JW. This made me laugh. I wish I had been there. Lol
At the Mormon funeral of my sister-in-law, the Bishop stood up and talked about all of her good works. He made the comment that he himself needed to do more good works so that he would know that he could go to heaven when he died. What kind of person wants to go to a church when the leader himself doesn't know if he's going to heaven? Pray for the Mormons as well!
Pastor, my mother and two sisters are Jehovah’s Witness, and I have attended the Memorial Services. The ones which I attended, were very interesting and pertinent to the Gospel of Jesus’s life, death and resurrection. Bearing in mind, there is no perfect religion. I would rather attend a JW Kingdom Hall than a Catholic Church, with all the statues (idols) and prayers to Mother Mary. Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.” The ushers or ministerial servants at the Kingdom Hall most likely reserved the second row for new comers/visitors, merely as a courtesy gesture. The Jehovah’s Witnesses are correct in saying that Jesus was not born on the 25th December, and as a result they do not celebrate Christmas. The Xmas ritual with the Xmas tree, trimmings, mistletoe and Santa Clause, is steeped in paganism. Easter also has pagan roots with the Easter eggs and Easter bunny and hot cross buns. It is very easy to be ‘ethnocentric’ about other peoples beliefs and religion and yet some people would be as amused about the Easter eggs and the Easter bunny at Jesus’s ransom sacrifice for our sins, as what we are about religions who worship cows. There’s not one religion that can stand up and profess to be absolutely perfect, but you won’t catch me kissing the toe of the statues in a Catholic Church, I’d rather sit and listen to a talk at a JW meeting where they back everything up with a scripture. Some religions don’t even refer to the bible but prefer man made traditions.
you're right! I feel the same way!
Thanks God for keeping me from responding to JW invitation. They tried to put me under pressure, but God sent His servant to fight for my soul. Praise be to our God Almighty !❤❤❤
Was always curious of what the Jehovah Witness service was like Wow This is scarey We need to Pray for Them Thanks for the broadcast
Yes 🙏🏻
Jehovah's Witnesses normally call their building where they worship a "Kingdom Hall" instead of a church.
Hallelujah praise the Lord for saving y’all from JW , so thankful the truth of our Saving Grace. Praying for JW to have there eyes opened for the Christ Jesus is willing. 🙏🏼
Hallelujah literally mean praise jah.
POWERFUL delivery of this story.
I took my first communion when i was 9 and I’ll never forget it.
Rode my bike to church that morning and listened to the sermon,
And i thought hard about accepting jesus in my life and partaking in the body and blood of the lord.
I might not always have been the most religious person, but i knew what i learned by that point was the truth.
If i have an opportunity to participate in communion I’m taking it.
Because i know the lord’s sacrifice. And i know when I’ve accept him into my life, I’m going to heaven BECAUSE of that sacrifice.
To deny the acknowledgment of the lords sacrifice, in my opinion, is blasphemy if you consider yourself any kind if Christian.
Such an important part of Christianity.
Its all about meeting the lord and being in his good graces when you finally do.
I don’t just wanna be judged when i die, i wanna walk with the greatest of great in heaven, and you know who that is.
I've been in the Truth for 40 years I'm so happy to be with my God Jehovah and his Son. It's sad that his experience is with a haughty attitude. And has no concept of Truth whatsoever.
So many ex jw.so many more need our prayers.i know one.a lovely man you would be proud to call a friend,yet his blindness to the truth is so sad.lets hope.bless all who have come to the truth.
@rafaelviafranco4962 Do you not see your haughtiness in your own comment? I'm genuinely curious, not trying to be rude.
O my this is confirmation! I love to pray intercede but lately thinking not enough just to pray/fast. Anna in the Bible praying looking for Jesus first coming. My name is Anna I tell ppl I too am looking for my Jesus His 2nd coming. ❤❤❤ This so touched me because God has been showing me HOW POWERFUL PRAYER IS.🙏
Amen Jesus! Keep on praying 🙏.
Yes 🙏🏻
I went to the communion service and what he's saying its true
This is exhausting. Everyone thinks they and only they have the freaking “ Truth”. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life , follow me , he said.
Amen , Amen , and Amen ! ! I'm tired " exhausted, and literally worn out with people continually prejudging other religions and pointing fingers just to prove to your self that you are right , grow up get a life and have a real communion with Christ .
Thank you for sharing this! ❤
Very interesting testimony. I'm a Christian and ex-Catholic. I thought the Catholic church was messed up but those JW folks are really out of it. I will help pray for them.
Ex-catholic also. Born again, spirit filled, follower of & grateful believer in Jesus Christ! No regrets. Not going back. 😊
Ex Protestant turned catholic.. best decision I ever made..
@@golfernky1687 Hello, fellow Catholic. Welcome home!
I am a committed follower of Christ. This pastor is terrific, exposing the apostasy and hypocrisy of the Jehovah's Witnesses. A cult is a cult is a cult.
Jesus still died for them.
You are very spot on we need to pray for the JW people, including everybody else and ourselves to repent and turn to our GOD and Savior.
I am a 77 yr old Bible studying Christian, I have a friend since 8th grade who is a devout Jehovah, and tells me he has read the Bible start to finish 4 times. But he still believes what he is taught in their beliefs. How is that possible in my mind. We discuss it and I pray for him and all that he teaches that is completely wrong. I needed to share this with you. Thank you for sharing. And God bless us all in the name of Jesus Christ our savior.
Their bible has been altered to support their false doctrine
Perhaps he read the wrong Bible.
The JW “bible ” has changed so much of the real Bible to fit their agenda. Even little article words are changed. It’s very sad. Hopefully, your friend will wake up soon. At least, you’ve tried to steer him in the right direction so he can never say he wasn’t presented with truth.
Yes!! Jesus said we should go and tell...!
Amen! I was in a weird Christian church that believed that way-afraid to take communion because they felt unworthy. Praise Jesus for delivering me and getting me to a solid Bible believing church! I love taking communion now.😊❤
If this pastor stops saying "like" he can do his speech in half the time.
😂
Is that you are hearing?
I was a Jw and a born-again believer and partaker of the bread and wine, I was stared at too! Almost no one partakes you know, maybe one per congregation, yeah that was me, lol. Sadly, Jw are taught they are not worthy to partake. Jw are famous for taking things out of context. Jw disagree with so many scriptures, the only way they can get people to believe their nonsense is by taking things out of context. Now I am going to University, taking Apologetics, going for a degree in Religion with a specialty in Evangelism.
Wow, that sounds like an amazing degree to get. What college does that?
I used to be in that organization. Born again in 2019! Thanks for sharing this message with the church. Many more people need to be educated about their beliefs and how they are lead astray.
I’m an exjw, so this is really interesting for me to see. I’ll admit though that even after all this time, I felt uncomfortable hearing you talk about partaking of the emblems…guess I still have a ways to go!
Don't worry.. His wife was right...if you are going to take the sacrament - go with the Mormons!! And rule quietly!! 😅😅... 🌴🌴.
