Just curious, and no offense meant. Asked this to a couple JW that knocked on my door last weekend. What have they witnessed, the poor couple could not answer this.\n\nNo wikipedia answers please

They are a cult! They don't believe in the Holy Trinity, nor do they believe Jesus is the Son of God. They believe in the 2nd coming of someone and that person already came back a second time, in the late 1800s which means JW are the ones left behind, most likely condemned and trying to make up for it by doing what they are doing now. They have their own version of the Bible, changing certain wording.

Would that be classified as another mystery of Christ? I believe even those who do not know of Jesus must feel his presents withnin creation. He is all in all. Yes interesting.

Many years ago, while I was in my late teens, I married a man my family hated. We lived in my uncles old house, no plumbing but we did have ele. One night, after putting my daughter ( 9 months old ) down for the night and going to bed myself I was awoken to a banging noise from my daughters room.  I went to her and cracked her doorway just a bit and found her sitting up in the middle of her crib laughing and babbling. Her crib had been moved from one side of the room to the other side, next to a window. I thought I was dreaming and couldn't understand how she had moved her crib. I moved it back . then I went back to bed only  to be woke up again about 30 mins. later  Again I found  my daughters crib on the other side of the room with her babbling and laughing. This went on for near 2 hours. Finally I was woken up with a voice telling me that I was hungry. And for me to get my baby and go get a hotdog. The third time this happened I got my daughter wrapped her in a blanket and started out the backdoor. My husb. was telling me that he would go get us some food and that we were to go back in the house.  By this time I'd had enough and wanted out of this house right then. I got in the car and refused to get out. My husb. had no choice but to get in  and drive us the half mile to the rest.. We went thru the drive thru aqnd went straight back. When we got to the begginning of our road the sky was lit up as if a ufo was above our house. The closer we got the more we could see what really was happening. Our house was burnt down to the cinder  blocks house. We had been gone only 20 min. The fire department, my uncle and aunt  were standing around crying because they thought me and the baby was inside.\n   If that voice hadn't woke me up when it had, we would've been inside.\n  To this date I firmly believe in ghost and Angels.

yes.  a friend of mine and i broke into a person's house once when we were kids.  we didn't take anything, it was mainly to see if we could pull it off.  we went in through a basement window, walked around in the house for a while, then went back out through the window.\n\nno one found out about it.  i don't think God punished me for it---although he may have.  i've been forgiven for doing it---i know that.

The questioner's point is that Jehovah God's Word the Bible explains clearly that this world, this system of things, is temporary and has no expectation of success for all humanity. Other gods and belief systems teach that this system is the one we are stuck with, yet such beliefs have been unsuccessful for thousands of years.\n\n(2 Corinthians 4:3,4) If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through

The ignorance and utter cluelessness of some of the people responding to this question is absolutely amazing. For one thing, I've noticed that Jehovah's Witnesses' teachings can be backed up completely by the Bible, whether I use my King James Version or read through their New World Translation. \n\nTheir activity of going from door-to-door in talking to other people about the good news of God's Kingdom and what it will do for mankind is A COMMAND FROM CHRIST to true Christians. How many of you nutcases, and I'm speaking of FairyNanook, Jeffo, and Tabi, obey Jesus' command to go and preach to people? I bet not a single one of you, and I bet none of your churches teach that it's necessary, either. \n\nI found the fact that FairyNanook and Tabi made such ignorant and blatantly stupid comments against the activity of the Jehovah's Witnesses to be highly offensive, as I also find it offensive that they call themselves Christians. \n\nJesus Christ himself taught people about God's Kingdom and he showed them on a very small scale by his miraculous healings and the truths that he taught that it is God's Kingdom that will bring an end, very shortly, to the painful suffering of people today. How exactly is it wrong, Tabi, that Jehovah's Witnesses do the same thing? They help people to see the benefits that are soon to come to this earth when things like AIDS (as you mentioned) are wiped out forever? What exactly is so awful that the Witnesses teach people that the Kingdom will do this? \n\nMy goodness, you people really need a clue. "Only saved by Grace".....sure, that's a teaching in a Christian church, but certainly not a TRUE Christian church. Try calling yourself a Christian when you actually start obeying Christ by preaching to others.\n\n----------------------------------------\n\nLooks to me like FairyNanook isn't very Bible-smart. Here, you go Oh Very Spiritually Blind One: "Indeed, as the body without spirit is dead, so also FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD." (James 2:26) You can claim to have all the faith in the world, honey, but without the works to back up those claims, you're just talking into the wind. And while you're at it, I suggest you review the preaching assignment that Christ commanded his followers to engage in. The example was that they were to town to town, village to village, and DOOR TO DOOR. \n\nAnd doing so "for points"? Where in the world did you get that nonsense from? Jehovah's Witnesses do what they out of obedience to Jesus Christ, for one thing. They do it out of love for neighbor for another, and they do it because if they didn't, they would be considered bloodguilty before God. Your thoughts are seriously out of whack and you should be very concerned with the amount of ignorance you display here. \n\nIf you can't recognize that, then YOUR entire way of thinking is what is truly twisted and in deep error. I'm sure you think you teach or know truth, but honey, by your very own words, you're admitting to being one of Satan's blinded drones.\n\n-------------------------------------------------\n\nFinally! She admits that she doesn't have the slightest idea what she's talking about. She's happy to be blinded to the truths that are so clearly brought out in God's Word, the Bible. Perhaps we should all pray that her lack of spiritual understanding and her veil of Biblical ignorance be lifted, as what she thinks she knows now is only doing her more harm than anything else. \n\nAnd if anyone wants ACCURATE and TRUTHFUL information on what Jehovah's Witnesses teach and why......you would wisely steer clear of the trash sites she listed and go right to the official source:\n\n-------------------------------------------------\n\nThe ridiculousness of your comments, honey, is a very clear admission on your part (whether you think so or not). \n\n"Going to the Watchtower website wi

1st, none of us were there. 2nd, we are unaware of ppl's sex lives here on earth today,so, why would Jesus discuss what happens behind closed doors. 3rd, there is no reference in the Bible to prove if He did or didn't. He was human and Divine. A tough combination, that's why God chose Jesus and not any of His other children to die for the sins of the world.

I came home on evening from work and my wife and children were not home yet. Shortly a neighbor came to get me and said there was an accident. He could hardly tell me it was my family so I new it was bad. When I got there (not far from home) My wife was unconscious and my children banged up. The medics were working to save my wife's life. \nAfter some days in a coma my wife got quite a bit better. Still today suffers some effects. After wards I tried to contact all who helped and found out someone was on the scene before anyone else even the from the house by where it happened. It is very possible they saved my wife's life but no one knows who it was, how they got there or where they went. I still don't know. I can't say for sure but I wonder. The Bible says the angels are ministering spirits for us. Could it have been?

At this point.  thanks for confirming the word I got from Holy Spirit a few moments ago....be back later, possibly much later.  I do cherish some relationships I have formed with believers and 2 people I saw saved.  But it is becoming harmful.\n\nBlessings,\nDavid

Yes.. I read some of the link, but I have studied the JW's so much that I may know more about them than they do.  The false translation of their Bible, and many others.  The poor people have been decieved and just don't know it.  I spent enough time with one of their teachers that he almost converted as he could see that I had the answers that he didn't.

Yes when I was only 13 years old I saw a kid almost get hit by a car. I will go into more detail.\n\nThe scene:\nI was walking down the street when I looked over and saw a smaller kid in the middle of a busy intersection and an adult man on the other side of the road with his back turned to the kid. I also saw a car that seemed to be out of control headed towards the kid. I was to far to do anything, but the man wasn't.\n\nThe miracle:\nFirst I foresaw this man running and grabbing this kid before the car could hit him. That is exactly what happened.  \n\nThe miraculace thing about it is that there was no way that the man could have seen the kid with his back turned before he started running towards him; he just seemed to have stopped in mid step and turned around running towards the kid.\n\nThis was the first time out of many that i seemed to have been able to either see the future or kind of alter the lines of destany. I eventually became a Wiccan (witch) due to these kind of things happening to me, but I'm not anymore. I am now all religions.

I have only been called once to exorcise posessing spirits.  The evidence abounded, though.  Perfume bottles would fly up from behind picture frames and hurl themselves at the woman who was involved.  After asking God's protection, I walked into the room.  \n\nThe bottles flew at me just as they did at her, but when they got about 2 feet away from me, they stopped in mid flight and dropped to the ground.  I asked if she had any books on witchcraft, and she said no, so I thought about the things that the Bible mentions as evil, and asked if she had any books on astrology.  She had many, but the Spirit told me that just wasn't it.  \n\nI asked her if she was SURE there wasn't something else.  She himmed and hawed around, then said, "Well, I have this."  She reached into her bookcase and pulled out a Satanic Bible.\n     \nI cast the demons out in the name of Jesus, then took the books to the middle of a barron street and burned them.  When the books finished burning, a large wind came out of nowhere and blew the ashes away.  A thought came into my head about the Holy Spirit being like a wind... you don't know from where it comes or where it goes.\n     \nThey asked what they should do next, and I told them to find a church that they liked and stay in it.  About 10 years later, the couple called me and thanked me for what I did.  I had to explain that it wasn't me who did it, but God working through me who did it.  Everything seemed fine after that.\n     \nAs far as medical treatments go, they can treat the physical symptoms to some degree, but they can't remove the source of the problem.

THe Bible says no man can see God and live. Therefore in that sense, no one can say they have seen God. However think about it. Can you see the wind? No, but you can see the effects of it - perhaps trees swaying e.t.c We too can see the effects of God around us. His marvelous creations, animals, stars, lush green grass, white mountain peaks e.t.c all marvelous things that makes us feel happy to see. How about our human bodies? The brain, the heart e.t.c - All these work in harmony to make our day to day lives easy and sometimes taken for granted by some other people. \n\nWhy God permits Suffering? Well, His original purpose for the earth was for humans to live forever - that is why its almost impossible to pick a date we want to die on. He did not want us to live in conflicts or in this badly gone earth, rather we were to live in a paradise earth - a reason we are in awe in His creations because we were made to enjoy them.\n\nThe answer to your question is really detailed and you will tire of reading it from here (if you havent already). What i suggest you do, is contact Jehovah's Witnesses. Ask them this question and many more, and they are sure to answer you solely based on the Bible. \n\nTHey will also explain to you a marvelous hope for the future where NO conflicts, wars or generally things that cause humans sorrow now, will be there. \n\nIn the meantime, check out their website www.watchtower.org

A few months ago a friend and I were talking about Benny Hinn, questioning his ministry.  I had never actually seen Benny Hinn before; I had only heard about what goes on at his crusade meetings.  We had nothing positive to say.  \n\nNow, at the time, I had a throat infection that was getting stronger and stronger by the day.  A few days after I had been talking with my friend, I turned on Christian TV and saw Benny Hinn.  I thought I had better actually watch, since I'd been saying some pretty bad things about him, with no evidence to back up my scepticism.\n\nI was critical during the whole show.  At the end, Benny was sitting on a couch, talking to the camera, praying for sick people watching.  He was calling out various physical problems that God was healing.  Just when I thought, "This is ridiculous" and was about to turn off the TV, Benny said something like, "Someone has just been healed of a throat infection."  I heard it, and, started to wonder if it could actually be possible.  I swallowed and the pain was totally gone.  I could breath normally for the first time in about a week.  I was radically healed.  The next day I woke up, almost expecting the infection to be back, but it was gone, for good.\n\nWhat I learned from this:  DO NOT JUDGE!!!  As far as I know there is absolutely nothing unbiblical that goes on at Benny Hinn's meetings.  The Bible is clear that Jesus "stripes" (or wounds) were for our healing (as His death was for our eternal life).  Whether miraculously or over time, I believe it is always God's will for us to be healed, as sickness and death are a part of the curse He came to remove.  We just need to hear it preached from the Bible in context (faith comes by hearing), and believe, as we believed when we were born again.

I am a witness and my husband is not. The witnesses do not shun, or hate anyone. there are a couple of other people in my hall that their spouse is not a witness. and we will never think bad, or feel superior to anyone! The only one that will ever be superior, is God! We are happy to see their spouse, even if they do not come to the meetings. We (my husband and I) go out to eat at a place every wednesday with a few people from my congregation, and we play pool, and talk, and just have a good time. And the spouses are always invited to the get togethers and weddings! So don't think that they see you or her in a bad way, no matter what people in here, who don't know what they are talking about, say!\n\nIf you would like to know what the bible really teaches, and why your wife believes it, have your bible ready and visit http://watchtower.org , or you can contact me.\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------\nYou are so rite, marriage is a bond that Jehovah has arranged, and is never taken lightly, as it is in the world!\nThe only way is if he, or you in this case cheats. That is the only biblical way!

Right on brother.  And to all the people who point to 'miracles' that show them there is a god, there are thousands of people who watch the opposite happen to their family member.  What about them?\n\nSeriously, you say you watched some thing hapeen to a relative for a month that should have killed them, but didn't so THERE is god.  What about the 30 year old healthy father of 3 who dies on the the tennis court?  What is his wife supposed to think? What about his 9 year old son?  God works in mysterious ways?  That is all semantic claptrap.\n\nWhat about the 60 year old atheist homeless person who lives to be 90 with nobody praying for him? Please

Are you kidding?  \n\nYou do know better than this.  The JW are notorious for hounding Americans day after day.  They are like the travelling salesmen for God.\n\nI think you are here to set them straight. And, doing a mighty fine job from the sounds of it.  Take a deep breath and answer that door...um, I mean email. ;)
