Thank you for this insight, my dealings with Jehovah's Witnesses have always left a good impression on me. Their approach to Covid-19 speaks volumes about who they truly are.
@@Pac-Man.. do u ever get tired of going to every JW related video and being a wise ass, because frankly. I’m tired of seeing u trying to put this organization down. No organization is perfect but through the will and guidance of our God Jehovah, we have been fighting to be different from this sick wicked world run by the devil. (I’m not baptized btw, but I have been brought up in the religion)
@@kcthewise No I don't and why should I? If an organisation puts propaganda onto a public platform, then it deserves objective scrutiny. JW practices conform to the BITE model, meaning they're a cult and I take great issue with the promotion of such an organisation that causes so much misery (just look around RU-vid at the hundreds of testimonies from former members). I therefore comment because I hate the fact that gullible and vulnerable people are exploited by greedy charlatans, particularly those such as yourself who are indoctrinated as children and therefore have no choice. One day, you'll thank this "wise ass".
@@kcthewise Just to add that I hope you understand I have no hate or ill-feeling towards you as a person. My criticism is aimed firmly at the organisation you defend.
I stopped celebrating holidays after research and found out where they derived. This was in 1991 when the guy I was dating told me. We got married in 1994 and had our first child and agreed that we didn't want to lie to her about Santa and other fictional traditions that the world does. In 1996, when I went back to work, I met a young pioneer. We had a lot of conversations after we both refused to put up the company's Christmas tree. It was the only religion that was based on the truth behind holidays. I was baptized in 2009 and my children shortly after. Proud to be a part of truth and not false teachings of other religions.
Are you also proud of the suicides and depression caused by your cult's practice of "shunning", or the shielding of sexual abusers? Are you proud to have indoctrinated your children into a cult without them fully realising the ramifications of membership later in life? Are you proud to be supporting the principle that 8 old, white men in New York are God's only channel on earth? Are you proud that your cult considers women as subservient to men? Great work Diana.
ask jehovahs witnesses can you believe something about the bible, other than what they believe ,without being kick out of the organization ,ask can you talk to your family and friends including parents and childrens ,once you are kick out, they call it disfellowshipping ,once you get involve in with jws,90 percent of what they talk about is you going out to preach to others instead of allowing you to read the bible in context,and when you get baptise they are not going to baptise you in the name of FATHER THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT .matthew 28:19,20, they are going to baptise you in the association to there organization ,i wish i had known all of this before i associated with the jws ,because they are not up front with you on all the things they believe ,and they also are not going to want you to talk to anybody that dont believe what they believe, just a few things to warn you about before you get in volve ,with them so BE CAREFUL.psalms 26:4,5 however READ YOUR BIBLE IN CONTEXT.psalms 119:105.PS read there baptism question and you will see the light.
@@DatDyme980 why do he have to go on the web site ,an not an actual person ,oh i know why your afraid they are going to have to lie,liars ,psalms 26:4,5 and btw jws are the biggest naysayers on earth just listen to there comments at there meetings , you will not sit there 5 minutes without them tear down some one or some bodys religion or beliefs ,and they practice this . just like u just call me a liar and naysayer ,thats the only weapon jw have because you cant fight the REAL TRUTH ,thats why you all result to name calling TRUE CHRISTIAN ,i guess thats the way you please your god.matt 7:1-5
It’s privilege be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. It is only organization worshiping Jehovah our creator and follow Jesus and apostles in preaching Good News about God’s Kingdom as Mathew 24:14. 28:19,20. Mark 13:10. Romans 10:18. Revelation 14:6 👫👫🌏🌎🌍♥️🤝
And............silence! Your cult actually shrank in 2020 by 0.6%. Your should try reading your own publications rather than commenting on what you "feel" are facts.
What makes you proud? Been a Jehovah’s Witness isn’t really an achievement. They are baptising just about any one who still goes to the meetings after 3 months. They tell you how hard it is to be a witness, it’s actually the opposite it’s very hard to leave with the indoctrination and been held at ransom by loved ones and friends. Coming in was simple, coming out took years for my self, I’m not gonna boast or say I’m proud of coming out, but you know what I’m so glad I did..
I am very proud to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses 🤝♥️👍🏼. It’s privilege to serve the creator of everything To preach good news before on earth God’s Kingdom will solve mankind problems ( no war, no sickness, no poverty and death) Is very important. People have voice to take decision for their future. It’s loving arrangement. 👫👫👫👫🌎🌏🌍♥️🤝
Thank you so much for sharing these interviews with us. I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and i’m amazed at the peace of mind that comes with this life. 💜 and that’s why we want to share the Bible with others so they can acquire the same peace of mind in a chaotic world 🌎
The comfort you derive from belonging to a large group of like-minded people does not detract from the wicked and immoral behaviours of the JW cult. Nor does it give it your organisations bizarre policies and doctrines any validity, particularly given the very dubious origins of the NWT Bible you base your life on. I realise you're supposed to disregard information outside of jw.0rg but I urge you please to research the uncomfortable truths about organisation to realise why it's shrinking and subject to so much crticism.
Excellent I so appreciate hearing the truth in that manner thank you for informing us continue to do so we need the truth in this last day. And it's just such a horrible world to live in and the truth sets us free. Thanks for being a wonderful speaker on any matter
I don't celebrate Christmas. However I am not a JW. I am a Christian. Jesus never told us to celebrate his birth on this date or any date. Its sickening how commercialized this holiday is. Then the gluttony of eating and drinking. Celebrate the birth of the Savior everyday.
Jesus never told us to celebrate and never told us to don't celebrate his birthday. When 3 kings visit him with gifts no one said: Gentlemans, Jesus don't celebrate his birthday. Yes?
@@leonmruk4344 by the time the 3 astrologers (not kings, or wise men/magi) came to visit Jesus and give gifts, he was: 1. Living in a house, not a manger. 2. Not a baby, but was around 2 years old. 3. It wasn't on the day of his birth and likely not even around his birthday which is around October, not December 25.
@@Mr_Joseph979 what you pointed no important. Important: the 3 Gentlemans visit him with gifts to celebrate his birthday. And Mary accept gifts from astrologers.
@@valerieramirez8584 OK, whatever you think is best for you. If you think your life is less important than a present then you are surely having your fill in this system of things. I feel pity for you
First of all, thanks to you and your team for sharing this information with the public. Don't allow the naysayers to spoil your good interview. It reminds me of how they persecuted Jesus in his day. Unfortunately the organization is made up of imperfect men who blemishes our name...it does not mean we stop worshipping Jehovah because of the flaws of others. Jesus did not stop serving Jehovah because of what Satan did. May Jehovah continue to bless you and hopefully you will continue to recognize that we live our life by Bible principles. Again, thank you.
@@DatDyme980 mmm is it well said... Is it ok to stick your head in the sand when the Governing Body is to appear in a court in New York (all 8 of them) to ask about their part in child rape cover up? Is it ok to report every single bit of persecution on the website...but anything about child rape cover up you dont find ONE thing mentioned..... Look up the b.i.t.e model dear.... Then ask yourself - if this is true would I want to see a copy of the court documents proving what i just said.... If you want to find the truth....just aks me and i will provide you the court documents... I suspect you will just stick your head in teh sand and not reply....so therefore there is one scripture you need to read... Rev 18:5-6 Your choice.
Wow, what a great explanation! Thank you for such a good interview and this answered questions in a nice manner without offending anyone. Thank you Jehovah!
Unfortunately your organisation represents false teaching, just indoctrinate people to do what Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses want, bad propaganda in progress.
Thanks so much for explaining what the Bible truth is about this holiday and the political neutrality issue! So easy to understand the sanctity of life, not to gather or visit each other! Thanks again!
Yes, as for me I serve Jehovah God and try my best to follow my King's examples we have recorded in the Bible, Jesus Christ. My family would have parties a lot of time dress up. Usually a theme, bible people, animals, insects , clowns. Ect: we played games, danced, we had cake. Swimming parties, Camping trips, playing suraids. we do have fun.
LOL! Oh Brenda please...............!!!!!! A Bible themed party! Sounds so much fun (NOT). What did you do? Re-enact the crucifixion and eat cake around the cross? Or was it musical chairs with the losing kid sacrificed on your dining table? 😂
What truth? That the generation who saw the events of 1914 would not pass away? That the dwindling numbers of the anointed was a sign the end was close? When they said that there were 8,000. Now there are more than 20,000
You have multiple halloween videos on your profile and you're subscribed to several channels dealing with the paranormal?!?! You're hardly a shining example of the JW 'Biblical' lifestyle are you? Shame on you Karen. 😂
Do not respond to this evil leon mruk ,,remember you can not argue with demons,,,, that's what they want, enjoy your witnessing work Brothers and Sisters
@@leonmruk4344 continue to view, listen and read our publications Leon. You seem to be attached as you keep coming back to read all the comments. I understand that you might miss up building conversations instead of those that seek to incite hate. Pray for your reconciliation and may you find peace. I love you Leon, all the best - from a proud Jehovah's Witness
@T O so hypocritical comment. You want to see all of them dead, just because they decided don't to be members of your organisation. That message is printed time to time in Watchtawer publications.
I have never ever and no going to celebrit it ever Sorry about my bad English writing Go to Robert Breaker and lissen to way He is a truth christian and explean everythings importent in the bible
Jehovah would never tell us to leave the watchtower & tract society because he appointed the watchtower & tract society a k a faithful & discreet slave class.
And I don't know him? I doubt this is true. I need you to mention other things like his area or the name of his meeting place, anything to get to know him better
Pagans still celebrate during that same time. Christmas isn't a replacement. There are several holidays that are celebrated during the return of the su(o)n.
@@gillishayes8126 What a lame explanation and perfect demonstration of the JW 'pic and mix' approach to Biblical principles. You're either for or against rituals that are Pagan in origin. You cannot selectively pick those that suit your bizarre, man-made doctrines. Little wonder your cult is shrinking and people are leaving in droves.
Sure the Bible doesn’t actually mention anything about Christmas or birthdays and by the same logic they probably shouldn’t own dogs because the Bible doesn’t speak favorably of them, but they’re gonna stick with it. Absolutely appalling explanation.
1MIN 20 secs in "MIGHT be unsavoury" Note his words...this is how Watchtower operates.. They give opinions and thoughts and feelings but never back it up with scripture..... MIGHT? MIGHT BE? And then they burden and present this as doctrine to their members. Terrible little cult.
Not celebrating Christmas is great! Because it is a pagan holiday, however, if you are not observing and keeping all 7 of the feasts that Our Messiah kept and observed, then you have no clue what his ransom truly means for us all.
Please do accurate research not just lies you can easily pull up on the internet. Who in their right mind is happy to see a loved one die!?! That is ludacris! If you love them, how can you be happy they are dying? There is not one person in this organization that is truly a servant of Jehovah that wants ANYBODY to die. We do all we can to preserve life according to Jehovah's law. We take medicine, we go to doctors, we try our best to take care of our bodies and our minds. We have any surgeries that are necessary for us to better our lives and we seek the advice of others who perhaps have gone through a similar medical situation. However, we do not fear death because we know that Jehovah has the final say. Yes, we will keep our integrity to Jehovah even in the face of death. That is exactly what Jesus did and as our teacher, we follow his example.
@@rosemarysmith8430 Anthony Morris boasts about the destruction of millions. I think you should look into the religion you are following.. I knew nothing of the watchtower when I was a member just like every one else around me I followed what I was told and could not see anything wrong. All it takes is to watch their broadcasts with an open mind not a sheep like one and you will see how wrong some of the things the governing body says are wrong
Well there is another law that supersedes the one you speak of. As someone said, this is taken out of contents. We value life, but we are willing to uphold Jehovah God's law to the point of death. Let me ask, because no one brings this up unless you've lost someone. They could of been saved by a blood transfusion, right? Leviticus 17:14 says we must not consume blood for any reason. "Anyone eating it will be cut off. " there are very little times where we'd throw out lives away. One being our stand on blood. The second is to renounce our faith, and the third is to save another from danger. Just some thought.
Sorry but jw does not promote family. My mother did not go to her own father's funeral because he wasn't a jw. Which means she was not there to support my grieving grandmother.wake up
Possibly your mother had reason to not attend his funeral. My sister didn't attend our mothers funeral because she was emotionally drained. There could have been other reasons that she made here decision. The organization advises us to make a decision not just that the event will be in a church but what will be discussed. There are many factors. Our meetings, literature and bible reading encourages strong loving families. However, if a family member opposes Jehovah who is the life giver, we choose Jehovah and his word. No person can give u life. Jehovah can save yourself and your family. I'm sticking with Jehovah
@@rettaalexander2461 this is just one of many examples of ways that my mom neglected her family to confirm to the organizations expectations. It's a cult. Jehovah can be the head of your life without you being in a cult.
It was her choice not because it was written somewhere for her not to attend. Jesus mingled with everyone including accepting a sinner to be with him during His death. Check with your mom, is not the religion. Jehovah doesn't force us but allows us to have a choice. Apostle Paul will grieve with those grieving and he will adapt to situations in order to win the hearts of many. So ask your mom, she will tell you the truth. We do attend funerals for friends or anyone closer to us or work-related. Check the link below too: www.jw.org/finder?pub=g18&issue=201811&prefer=lang&wtlocale=E check with your mom, Biblical we not stopped grieving for our family members. I recently attended my colleague's funeral Be peaceable and approach mommy
This comment is not intended towards jw. It is for those studying to become jw. They need to understand there are many unofficial unwritten rules. Study for a long time and observe before you commit. It's just a suggestion.
