@@laymanphil8513 That's Because we don't worship 1 country. Like Jehovah we love all people. We respect flags and national symbols but we do not worship them. The pledge of allegiance represents 1 country. Jehovah loved all people as we do. We are the only organization that travels all over the earth to spread Jehovahs coming Kingdom. All other religions are happy just going to church 1 time a week and not even changing their conduct while they continue to believe in false things like He'll and being tortured.
@@nashdoty1989 Sincerity and honesty are not guarantees of "truth". I know of no other "religion" apart from the Watchtower Church that for over 150 years has announced so many false dates and events that have not happened. The more time passes, the more absurd the expectation of this imminent "end" will become. The most indoctrinated followers will desperately cling to the slightest bit of news that could still give them a semblance of hope, but there you have it, everything has an end. When I mention to my sister (who is still a JW) the possibility that she could have been manipulated all her life by a human organization, she starts to cry. Today, more and more JWs suffer from cognitive dissonance. I don't know any JW who believes in this "double superimposed generation" taught by the Watchtower since 2008. Worse, JWs are ashamed of this teaching and do not dare to teach it to others. Who would dare to teach this teaching as being healthy food coming from God? JWs are so dependent on the Watchtower that they are ready to follow it in all its ramblings to the point of distorting the words of Jesus to artificially lengthen the generation of 1914 which no longer exists. When this "double generation" has passed (like all the others) will you be sufficiently indoctrinated to swallow the "triple generation"? The more time passes, the more absurd the date of 1914 will become like all the aging doctrines attached to it.
I remember singing this song with such passion and ferver, so proud to be in "God's" organization...how did I not hear how much the tempo was JUST LIKE A GERMAN GESTAPO MARCHING SONG?? 😢
I absolutely love the people in the congregation and fellow witnesses loveliest people you will ever meet, but when you look up top its freemasonry running everything, the letter "J" only came in 1524, Jesus and Jehovah was never the most highs name he's name is YAHUAH AND HIS SON IS YAHUSHA,Charles taze Russell is a freemason and freemasonry is satanism is disguise as truth

Luke 4:18: The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. John 15:19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. There is a lot of dysfunction in the world and at these Kingdom Halls as well. Human behavior is troubling with all the competing egos, narcissism, jealousy and envy, poverty and the ill-educated. It's only natural that differences will arise. Try to be pleasant with one another and work through your differences. Go to your nearest Kingdom Hall and if it works out fine. If it doesn't, move along. Just never stop learning from literature and sharing the Good News until you find a Kingdom Hall where you are received well. Keep your Sundays dedicated to honoring Jehovah until you find a new congregation I spent two years as a Bible Student, I studied the Knowledge Book three times and became a Unbaptized Publisher. Then a year later, I was told I was not ready for Baptism. I could have earned a PhD in that amount of time. The Elder was a black man and I was basically told, "No Baptism for Whitey." If you are a woman, there is no delay, you are Baptized right away. If you're a man well, you're gonna have a lot of issues dealing with all these narcissistic Elders who think you might not be right for their women and maybe you should wait for about twenty years to get Baptized. Their egos are out of control - they think they are God - these are some very wicked people. They want you to ingratiate yourself. Suck up long enough and maybe we can work something out. So, there is a lot of discrimination going on, and a lot of hypocrisy, nepotism, favoritism and dysfunction. I was shunned at most Kingdom Halls. Seven years later I got tired of being alone and married a kind humble woman and they lost their minds. They expected me to live alone forever - I guess. As of today, I have been serving Jehovah God for twenty-six years. Many of these Elders are always triangulating, deflecting and projecting because they don't have an education - very conniving people (sleazy is more accurate). They are very critical, just like the world, no difference, controlling, manipulative, deceitful and very dysfunctional - always thinking the worst - lost in a sea of narcissism. Some people are snobs, but others can be friendly. It's a place where people are mostly concerned about status. They're priorities are making sure their suits are not out of place. The negativity and dysfunction is alarming. I contacted Bethel Headquarters and was rerouted to several other people and ended up speaking to the Overseer for the State of California. He told me. "Whatever you do, do not go to a Kingdom Hall." Subsequent to this, I had an Elder tell me that I needed to lie when I go to Kingdom Halls and tell them I am in between jobs and on Unemployment, as not to offend anyone. I had enough of the dysfunction and goofiness and now only visit Kingdom Halls occasionally. I have already received my 100-fold and always stay loyal to Jehovah, teaching people the truth, where and when it's appropriate. I will not tolerate a bunch of negativity and dysfunction from a bunch of low-class blue-collar idiots. I retired at 46 years old, and the jealousy and envy was through the roof. They lost their minds - most or all of them are poor working-class people.
All that is required from Jehovah God is that you apply Bible counsel in your life, be no part of the world, spread the Good News and tell the people what they need to do. He understands that there is imperfection at these Kingdom Halls, and he will hold all of them accountable for their wicked ways. Also, focus on making his name known and respected. When you pray and everything you do you will honor Jehovah God by calling him by his name. Show great reverence for his name and him being the only true God. End your prayers in Jesus name Amen. Good luck and have a nice day!
