Great interview, Chuck! Thank you so much Omar, for sharing your story, and for shining the spotlight of scrutiny on Watchtower's criminal cover-up of child abuse - especially Russia's crackdown by raiding Kingdom Halls, finding documentary evidence, and then arresting of the perpetrators who had been shielded by Watchtower. I didn't know that. Kudos to you, Sir!
Thank you Omar for sharing your story. I’m not a JW (never have been) but someone close to me is, and I’m trying to gain as many perspectives as I can with the hope that someday I can be the catalyst that helps wake them up. I understand I may not succeed, but I have to try.
Beth Shan ( different property) , the Society only mentioned Beth-Shan once in its literature. This was in the May 27, 1942 Consolation magazine (now called Awake! ). In its long article on the court battles over Rutherford's burial request, they mentioned the location of the second proposed burial site as being on their Beth-Shan property.
Thank you for this excellent presentation and testimony. May He bless you and keep you Omar. There are many scriptures that have been changed throughout all ages. When Jesus returns in spirit, He will teach us in all things misunderstood by changed scripture. All nations will worship Him, all creeds, belief systems pagan or not and God and Jesus alone will teach us.😊
Thank you Omar I wish my brother would have opened his eyes before his death in the nineties. But one thing you said spoke out to me. Your trust issues with religions. And I understand, there are lots of churches out there for the wrong reasons and I have been to them and got fed up with them. So I stopped going. But I still had a pulling in my heart to seek the truth. So I turned to the Bible and have come to learn I don’t need a church to know God. What I learned is to have a intimate relationship with God the Father, his beloved Son and the Holy Spirit. When you read your Bible this is a very personal thing between you and God. Men will interpret the Bible their way but sometimes it does not pertain to you. God reveals and gives you discernment to things he want you to know just like he opened your eyes to JW I’m sure you had a praying grandmother which interceded with her prayers. I read the Bible with some JW women who has come to my house and for every verse they bring to me I counter act with my verses but before I do I invite the Holy Spirit in to guide me teach me and give me the words to speak. A lot of the JW don’t even know a real Bible but their own twisted translation . I have many bibles they may have different dialect but they all mean the same thing but JW bibles delete or change meanings of words scary cause people are being taught this since birth. And like you said treat people as you would have them treat you. The Father said we must teach the gospel of Christ and I do as best as I can. So to round this up it is not about religion but a very personal and intimate private relationship with God. People will know that I follow Christ by my actions and way of being. And no I don’t go to a church. In my church the congregation is made up of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. My sister gets at me for this but God has not put a church in my heart to follow but His.
Ana, sorry to hear about your brother. Love that you have still had a desire to pursue truth in the Bible, even though you were deceived by wicked men. Be blessed!
Yep. My moms method for making me behave wasn’t telling me how much Jehovah loved me and wants me to listen, it was a heavy metal spatula that she loved to use on the back of my legs. She made sure I was in absolute agony and wanted everyone to hear it. I know she enjoyed it.
Hi..Acts 1:6-8 says the times and seasons belong to Father as well as Matthew 24:36..Son doesn't know the time..only Father.. One lie after another right from the start..
And suicides..lying in God and Jesus' names.Im a female.They just turned around and walked away...Some agreed and said we just wait..Thats not keep asking, seeking or knocking...
It is sad Omar, for I have been a Jehovah's Witnesses for over 37 years and still loving it. Iam a 66 years young and my oldest son who is 45 years and an elder who live in Aitutaki, Cook Islands and I could honestly say that without the principle taught by Jehovah's Witnesses I would be lost. And you are Complaining about the Elders, Organisations, the people selling their houses and everything about Russels and everything else about them, but YOU are forgetting THAT JEHOVAH will UNDO everything that SATAN has caused I mean everything until what we see happening now will be just a MEMORY in the PAST. So instead of making any Complaint and Condeming, have PATIENCE.
