The Jehovah Witness's just told me that...?

Your ignorance of JWs is showing.  Members of the Bride Class are not treated any different from anyone else. In fact, they are servants to everyone else.  Most have died off in the last ten years, so it is rare to even find one in a congregation anymore.  When I was young there would be 2-3 to a congregation.  No new ones have come forward, even those facing their last days of this life, such as my stepfather.\n\nIf you're going to come up with something completely asinine about JWs, you really should be your homework better.

Being a Jehovah's Witness and having observed some utterly ridiculous comments and accusations against our faith, in numerous instances by Schneb and a few others, let's clarify a few things and see why these individuals are biased and prejudiced and how they're wrong (Schneb in this instance): \n\nTo start, Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians and they are NOT a sect.\n\nMr. Schneb has been horribly duped and brainwashed by (1) his personal beliefs which completely fall apart when compared to the truth from the Bible, and (2) those he relies upon for spiritual guidance, making him among the so many who are spiritually blinded by Satan today. That much is so evidenced by his refusal to accept simple and basic Bible truths and his steadfast reliance upon one man's translation of the scriptures (King James) which isn't very accurate in many respects. It also appears that he adheres to Bible translations that outrightly change the original wording and verbage of the scriptures in order to fit in with a false religious teaching (i.e. the man-made doctrine of the trinity, eternal hellfire, immortality of the soul, and so forth). \n\n- The Bible makes it perfectly clear that Jehovah God and Jesus Christ are separate and distinct individuals, with Jehovah being the name of the Almighty God, and Jesus being the first of Jehovah's creations, and a being subordinate and inferior in position to God (Colossians 1:15, Revelation 3:14). \n\nBut let's further examine another absurdity that Mr. Schneb, in his biblical ignorance, clings to: using John 1:1 to try and prove a ridiculous trinity: AT JOHN 1:1 the King James Version reads: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Trinitarians claim that this means that “the Word” (Greek, ho lo´gos) who came to earth as Jesus Christ was Almighty God himself.\n\nNote, however, that here again the context lays the groundwork for accurate understanding. Even the King James Version says, “The Word was with God.” (Italics ours.) Someone who is “with” another person cannot be the same as that other person. In agreement with this, the Journal of Biblical Literature, edited by Jesuit Joseph A. Fitzmyer, notes that if the latter part of John 1:1 were interpreted to mean “the” God, this “would then contradict the preceding clause,” which says that the Word was with God.\n\nNotice, too, how other translations render this part of the verse:\n\n1808: “and the word was a god.” The New Testament in an Improved Version, Upon the Basis of Archbishop Newcome’s New Translation: With a Corrected Text.\n\n1864: “and a god was the word.” The Emphatic Diaglott, interlinear reading, by Benjamin Wilson.\n\n1928: “and the Word was a divine being.” La Bible du Centenaire, L’Evangile selon Jean, by Maurice Goguel.\n\n1935: “and the Word was divine.” The Bible—An American Translation, by J. M. P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed.\n\n1946: “and of a divine kind was the Word.” Das Neue Testament, by Ludwig Thimme.\n\n1950: “and the Word was a god.” New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures.\n\n1958: “and the Word was a God.” The New Testament, by James L. Tomanek.\n\n1975: “and a god (or, of a divine kind) was the Word.” Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Siegfried Schulz.\n\n1978: “and godlike kind was the Logos.” Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Johannes Schneider.\n\nAt John 1:1 there are two occurrences of the Greek noun the·os´ (god). The first occurrence refers to Almighty God, with whom the Word was (“and the Word [lo´gos] was with God [a form of the·os´]”). This first the·os´ is preceded by the word ton (the), a form of the Greek definite article that points to a distinct identity, in this case Almighty God (“and the Word was with [the] God”).\n\nOn the other hand, there is no article before the second the·os´ at John 1:1. So a literal translation would read, “an

As suggested by an earlier answerer, you need your brother to discuss this with a Church leader such as a Catholic priest or a minister such as from the Baptist Church as mentioned.\n\nIts not hard to refute the teachings of Jehovahs because there are so many errors and instances where they have changed their own Bible to suit or make false claims, but what can be difficult is for people like your brother to get rid of them. They can be like door to door salesmen and are trained to counter questions using slick sales techniques. That is why you and your brother need to approach this by talking with someone with superior knowledge of the ways of the Lord in the form of a Priest or Minister.\n\nIts nice to see that despite asking for no Jehovahs to answer they still peddle their wares.

To daredevil pup:  of course that's not God.  That's the EYE of God.  Actually, the sixth eye of God, I guess.\n\nMr. Eye of God:  I can't speak for others, but I forsake your Son for a very good reason:  it was his turn to buy at the pub over the weekend and he "forgot" his wallet.  Something about not having any pockets in his white robe where he could put a wallet.  Frankly, I'm just a little sick of that excuse!

Jehovah witnesses do not believe that Jesus is the son of God.  They chose to distort the bible to engulf their own beliefs.  The bible is not a buffet, you have to accept it in its entirety.  If you call parts of it a lie, then you are calling God a liar.  God is a God of truth, love and forgiveness.

that would be false religion, And it is still going on today! But soon God will put an end to it! http://watchtower.org

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

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses,I find the truth is the best.No one will be offended if you say what you feel.\nChrist gave his disciples a commission and that was to go and preach the good news about God's Kingdom,and make disciples by teaching them Bible truths.So as disciples of Christ that is what they are doing.\nIf you are sincerely not interested let them know,they may be disappointed as many of us are when people aren't interested in learning about our Creator and Heavenly Father\nhowever,you won't be the first and you definitely won't be the last.

Jehovah's Witnesses actually *DO* say "bless you" when it is appropriate and when they are personally moved to do so.\n\nHowever, Jehovah's Witnesses do *NOT* endulge in superstitious practices based on pagan beliefs. The practice of uttering "bless you" when someone sneezes developed from the false religious belief that some "spirit" escaped the body during the sneeze. Clearly such a pagan custom is incompatible with true Christianity.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20020801/\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20050101a/article_01.htm

Since I am a Jehovah's Witness, could not very well convert a Witness to main stream christianity.   BUT have brought others with Jehovah's help out of christianity.\n\nIn 2005 there were from   "Christianity"   247,631, that became Jehovah's Witnesses and everyone of these had to change their minds pertaining to the false teachings that they had been taught, these were people that used their own Bible, King James, etc., 28,384 were from the United States.

Well something about these quotes really disturbs me...\n\n"Over one million people worship the devil as a religion."  Really?  Prove it.  I want to see where you got your IMPARTIAL information.\n\n"Anyone who does not believe in God is a sinner and rebuked God when they heard the good news."  So this is what you are saying.  Before you tell these people about your god they are safe because your god is not known to them.  If, however; you tell them about your god and they refuse to believe your "good news of the lord" they are condemned to hell.  Why tell them in the first d@amned place then if you know they are going to go to hell for refusing your god!?\n\n"Lives we can never change"....yeah? tell that the people you just condemned to hell for refusing to believe in your god.\n\n..."and we have an understanding of what is good and bad in our conscience."  Well let me see, you just told a bunch of people who were enjoying their lives without your god and who were safe from the wrath of your god until you told them about your god by condemning them to hell for refusing to believe in your god. How is telling people who don't know your god a good thing again please?\n\n"we all have a sense of survivl instinct."  It's spelled S-U-R-V-I-V-A-L, you idiot. \n\n"Yes things in our culture have been disintergrated because of simple minded people not knowing the facts before they say or do things before the think"...welcome to the Disintegration Club, genius.\n\n==============\n\n...and then there's this one...\n\n==============\n\n“HELLO! "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live...."\n\n"I'M NOT SAYING KILL ALL THE WITCHES.....what I AM saying is God does not approve of witchcraft...”  { Rather than me going off here I think I will just dust off something that Fiona Broome wrote and place it here regarding that little statement}: \n\nThou shalt not suffer a witch to live...? \nedited by Fiona Broome\n\nPeople often ask about the famous line in the Bible, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." (Exodus 22:18) \n\nIt's important to do your own research. However, here's what I've found so far: \n\nJames I was notorious for being paranoid about witches, spells, and so on. This was, in part, due to volatile politics of the time. He had good reason to be nervous. \n\n"His" Bible (the King James Bible) was translated to keep Jamie-boy happy, so they translated the word chasaph--which is Hebrew for poisoner (or, in other contexts, herbalist)-- to mean "witch" instead. \n\nThe real Biblical passage was about the disturbing crime of poisoning in the Jewish community. When that line was originally written, there may have been recent poisonings. Some historians point to this. \n\nHere's an early document, written around 1580 at the time of King James I, protesting the translation of chasaph as "witch." \n\n(And when goode King James discovered what Reginald Scot had said in this book, James first wrote his own book, Daemonologie, a rebuttal to Scot's. Then James ordered his men to find every copy of Scot's book and burn them. It \nwas too late. The Scot book was already in its third printing, widely distributed, and nine more chapters had been added.)\n\n  \nFrom The Discoverie of Witchcraft by Reginald Scot. \n  \nBOOKE VI \n  \nChapter I - The exposition of this Hebrue word Chasaph, wherein is answered the objection conteined in Exodus 22. to wit: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, and of Simon Magus. Acts. 8. \n  \n(page 64) Chaspah, being a Hebrue word, is Latined Veneficium, and  is in English, poisoning, or witchcraft; if you will so have it. The Hebrue sentence written in Exodus, 22. is by the 70. interpretors translated thus \n  into Greeke, [note: I'll fill this in when I have a Greek font and more time], which in Latine is, \n  \n\n  Veneficos (sive) veneficas non

Notice what verse 9 says"...who is misleading the entire inhabited earth..." and the second half of verse 12 says"....because the Devil has come down to you,having great anger,knowing he has a short period of time..."\nSatan knows his time is running out.\nAs one of Jehovah's Witnesses we firmly believe that Satan and his demons were cast out of heven in 1914.\nThat year marked the first World War and the World wide situation has progressively grown worse since.1Peter5:8 \nwarns-"Keep your senses,be watchful.Your adversary,the Devil,walks around like a roaring lion,seeking to devour someone".\nBut we can have confidence in God's Word,the Bible that soon Satan and his demons will be done away with and obedient mankind will be able to enjoy peaceful paradise conditions on the earth once again.

I don't know, but let me use this space to say that they are making even less sense than usual today, which I didn't think was humanly possible. If there was a God, the first thing I would say is, "Lord, save me from your followers!"
