_What type of Jehovah’s Witness were you?_ I was the very nervous type, and preaching to people that also knew scriptures made my anxiety so much worse!
Same!!! If somebody knew their Bible I was so uncomfortable to everything I would say because I would become aware of how ridiculous it sounded. I actually started a undercover study with a JW and I can tell she is baffled at the knowledge I have and I always say God gave it to me. She is having to constantly say “I’ll have to research and get back to you” even about very simple truths
I was never good at _'pretzel logic',_ where you'd have to bend and twist your reasoning, forcing unrelated references in the bible to become relevant, somehow. It would have been much easier for me to learn to play chess, the complicated maneuvers being simpler than the maneuvers a Witness must employ to show the Organization has The Truth. And nervously playing against a chess master in front of a judgemental crowd? Would be less stressful because we're leaving out issues of their eternal salvation, an angry God that'll kill billions at Armageddon very very soon.... I've been out for years and I still have anxiety! 🙄

Sounds like you ran into a new JW. But if you really that interested in spiritual topics, pick one. I’ll gladly go over some biblical scholars with you. I promise I won’t use psalms 83:18.
Jesus never said the word Jehovah once nor used it in prayer. Even when he instructed us how to pray...starting with "our Father". Let that fact stew for a day or two. There was no letter "J" in hebrew. Let that sink in Strongs concordance points out a significant difference between "Hava" and "hovah" and "Je" which means two speperate words("Je") the first part means lord of the second part ("hovah")wickednesss. Which is different to "hava" Let that sink in. A Catholic priest was the first recorded to come up with spelling and added that name to thw bible. Let that marinate for a day or two. As far as I know the only time God speaks for himself when moses asked him for his name. He said "Iam that Iam" Which has a hebrew pronounciation. And "Jesus" prayed to our "father" Jehovahs witnesses are so lost praying to what they dont know its scary
MATTHEW 7: 21-23 “21. Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22.

@jeromejenkins7886 Fair statement to make sadly. I think it's a human instinct to compare themselves and simply say yeah but he is worse. Job 2:4 really highlights this well. But Jesus made it very clear that anyone can gain life through their faith in him. As well in time works are needed to prove that faith, but the man dying next to him did not have the time to prove that faith and he was still given an oppurtunity. So every religion does not have a "God Complex" JWs do not think they are the only ones who will gain life. But individuals at times can perpetuate the idea that God can be limited to only black and whites. He can do what he pleases with his creations! The fact that JWs acknowledge their flaws are what shows that they aren't focused on being "right" so to speak as much as they are in being obedient to what it written. That is all God asks.
The division that you bring amongst one another and don't see, stop boasting about how you know and have the scripture memorized, and for those saying she is a warrior for christ not once have I ever heard a JW deny Jesus as SON of True living GOD for they will proclaim Jesus Christ just as he commanded don't know what good your video brings lady all I see is an attempt of mockery of others belief or way of worship, you wake up give praise and go about making time in your day to spread the gospel from door to door as commanded by GOD through Jesus. This is why they attack the Christian faith and I am talking about denominations of the faith when I say the word, for all those that believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, YHWH 's one begotten son is a Christian, this is the way they conquer kingdom not from without but from within by causing division. So stop speaking against your own as well, know that the Roman emperor was the one dispersed all that believed in Christ after he rose from death which caused the many denominations we have now.

"That they may know that You alone, whose name is YAHWEH, are the Most High over all the earth." (Psalm 83:18) Now, let's us see what it says about the Son of God: "....These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might, which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come." (Ephesians 1:19-21) "so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:10-11)
Jehovah is the mistranslation of the TetraGramatan YHWH. When the priest would read through the Hebrew text they would use the term Adonai instead of yahweh. Out of reverence.

The name jehovah was not used by any of the Prophets of God… This name was not invented until after the 1500’s So if Moses, Abraham, David, Job, none of these men ever called their creator by the name jehovah then why should we? How do I know, you may ask. The J sound was not in use until over 1,000 years after Jesus. So the name Jesus is also an alleged translation, that was created 1500 years after him. Therefore, no one ever called him this nor has he ever told anyone to call him this… These names are not translations, they are fabrications and who knows the motive behind them? More than likely, YHWH does not translate to Jehovah anyway!
🤣😂 These names are fabrications. Go look in the dictionary you will find them there. All other names in the bible is A OKY except Jehovah and Jesus. 😅 Of course they prayed to the father Jehovah in heaven. He's name was made public and prophets knew the name of the father in heaven even before he's son Jesus came to earth. Jesus set the example just go and see for yourself what was important to him. Jesus even prayed wen he was bussy losing his life for our sins and you tell me the father doesn't have a name... Of course Jesus knew to whom he was praying to...
@Igotab350 Having a "bad reputation" is what Jesus promised would be the case. John 15: 18,19 it's nothing to be concerned with. It just fulfills prophecy.

I said, "Yes, when Christ returns, Scripture says that He will stand on the Mount of Olives and it will divide in two and He shall destroy his enemies and we will reign with Him for eternity!" She said, "Well, I see that you're all eating breakfast so we will leave you to it, have a good day" and she walked off. I turned around and looked at my family and said, "That was it? That's all it took?" My dad said, "Wow, the words you spoke must have hit her with so much authority from the Lord that she had to leave. Her spirit must've trembled inside her." Glory to God.

When they add Jehovah where it says Lord, they completely miss the point the author is trying to make! Like in John when John the Baptist says he is the voice calling out in the wilderness , preparing a way for the lord in the desert, clearly is talking about Jesus because ummmm that’s who he was preparing a way for in the desert and literally baptized the next day, and he is quoting Isaiah where it says a voice calling out in the wilderness prepare a way for YAHWEH! They change it Jehovah which completely changes context, meaning, everything and makes the statement not have the impact and clarity John the Baptist meant it to. It’s honestly criminal what they do.
In many years out of the ministry I rarely encountered evangelicals who knew their Bible well enough to carry a conversation. I could count those times on my hand…😒
So what DO you think about the name Jehovah? and since this IS God's name why are we all not singing his praises for every day of life? Why do the Jews not say his name, and most christians use his titles or call him by other names?? Why please tell me why? and when can we all get to a point where there is no doubt in all of creation and existence of who the most high over all things is, and his undeniable greatness! It shouldnt be so hard for us all to agree with Jehovah. Until that time I will stick with the closest thing to what that might be like.
@@Whatrublind007 missing the forest for the trees. Christians use the name Yahweh, along with other names for God. But I mostly call him father or my God, for the same reason my children call me mom and not taleah. We are past that level of intimacy.
@Highontheholyghost Yahweh is the name of God so we agree! Your children know you as well don't they.. especially if they are of age to know full well your name, out of respect we call our parents by a title. But as for our God Jehovah. His name has been desecrated and made to be worthless. May your name be sanctified! For all of his creation that doesn't even know his name, isn't that the perfect tool of Satan to make it seem like he doesn't have a name? At the very least if a person hasn't come to KNOW our father, how can they truly be his friend? Also he invites us to know him and be his friend personally. If by some chance my small child was calling my name but referring to another man, that would be a tragedy. If he was calling for me by name but actually wanted someone else that would also be a tragedy. Not to cause any distress for anyone else, but that is exactly what Satan would want.
@Highontheholyghost Since as early as the 2nd and 3rd Century the name Jehovah began to be removed from the Bible. When it comes to the original Greek translation there are no manuscripts from the 1st Century. So nobody really knows for a fact. However for example Matthew 22:37 is a quote of Deuteronomy 6:5 where the divine name was used. Other fun question.. where in the Bible did Jesus say to celebrate his birthday or any birthday for that matter. He was 33 years old when he died. Surely this day would have been extremely significant if it was celebrated!
@@Whatrublind007 Jesus said heaven and earth would pass away, but his words would remain forever. To say that the reason he never used the divine name is because it was removed from the Bible, is not only impossible for it to be removed from literally every manuscript, but calling Jesus a liar. If they were his words, they would remain. God is fully capable of preserving his word.
My husband, an “ex-jw” made 8318 his passcode on safes (in hotels, cruises) until I went to the safe first and started making the codes myself a few months ago.
Almighty God had no beginning. The Lukewarm Church Revelation 3:14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: In Revelation 3:14, Jesus is referred to as, "the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation." The whole passage reads as "And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God".
@@ExposingJWTeachingsREVELATION 1:1 A revelation from Jesus Christ that God gave to him,... if Jesus is God he would already know the revelation but no he is not God, or are they one because it says God gave him the revelation.
One time I worked with a Jehovah's witness lady I didn't tell her I was an ex witness because I wanted to observe her and I have the chance to for quite a few years and we went to the Tacoma Mall together and I played her a song on a Christian CD.. it was about Jehovah and she goes where did you get that and of course I told her it was on my CD that I bought in the Christian bookstore it kind of took her off guard she was married to an overseer and she would laugh about how he go to Las Vegas to the topless shows and I would just keep enjoying watching her keep hypocrisy as I was trying to tell her about Jesus hearing there but it was hard to of course talk to her they're so stubborn
Oh wow yeah if your husband being in that “position” and doing that doesn’t make you see the hypocrisy of the religion, and recognize he is acting like a Pharisee, than you just don’t want truth at that point
first of all, Oveersers dont work secular jobs and neither do their wives! they are FULLTIME in spiritual service. your story-time is inaccurate. Apostate.
@@lalo2641 That it does as noted in 1 John 4:1-4. And you should. And as I mentioned previously the Jews tried Jesus and received the truth about him and Jehovah God. However, the intentions and cunning ways they had did not and will not go well for them.
@@jacobusbeukes9267 Happy to discuss. Can I ask you some questions first so I can understand your beliefs exactly so that I don't accidentally strawman you? 1) Do you subject yourself to the Authority of the Bible or is there someone/something else higher than the Bible (other than Jehovah)? 2) Do you believe and obey Jesus's words in the Bible? 3) In the OT, anytime 'Elohim, YHWH, Jehovah, Yahweh' is mentioned, is this 'God the Father'? 4) Do you believe the universe is created ex-nihilo (out of nothing)? 5) Who created the Universe and every living being (humans, angels, animals, demons etc) and object (non living, earth, stars etc)? 6) How many thrones exist in heaven? 7) Who sits on the throne or thrones in heaven? 8) The soul/spirit that animates the body of Jesus, who/what is it? Is it the Father residing/animating within the physical body named 'Jesus'? 9) In Isaiah 44:6 and Isaiah 48:12, who is 'the first and the last'?
@@alisterrebelo9013 1)Jesus our king and savior. The bible is very important. Psalm 119:160 Roman's 15:4 Acts 17:11 2 Peter 3:16 2) Yes he was sent to earth to set the example, pray to the father, preach to all people and we announce the kingdom to come like Jesus did. So we try and follow in he's every footsteps. Jhon 5 :24 Jhon 8 :42 Luke 4:43 Matthew 28:18-19 3) Yes it is Jehovah the father. The all mighty god. 4) Everything was created by Gods holy spirit, he's power. energy, including Jesus he was the very first created. The father is the only one that gives life. Acts 17:25 and Psalm 36:9. 5) Every living being the father Jehovah include, demons and Jesus because without the father the son cease to exist. Just like wen your father never existed you cease to exist and he's father befor him and so on... opjects non living Jesus. 6) I don't know how many there are. There are more important things to learn out of the bible. 7) The father, and on hes right side Jesus. That is the most important thrones I know of. 8) If it's the holly spirit you are talking about. It is God's power. It is not your soul and it dose not live after death. 9) If you read Isaiah 44:6 and Isaiah 48:12 with the intention of finding out who they are talking about in context of the scriptures yiur findings will be that of. The all mighty god Jehovah the father in heaven. Jesus was created by he's father you can not twist the scriptures to believe they are the same. How was first you or your father?
It's in the new world translation not in the king James bible they used in the beginning when Russell stared the watch tower. Russell the founder of the .watch tower organization was a company to publish bible truths nothing more.
As a young jegovzs witness.... were all people we all have out flaws and yes there's always going to be people like that but please don't judge an entire religion from one lady, I can assure you we do not all believe that.
It's a cult Scarlett. A deadly one. That also hides child abuse. That's the negative news the governing body asks you not to look at. Get out. Run fast
I won't discuss the name of Jehovah or non-salvation issues with Jehovah's witness. But, I will discuss with them who is Jesus Christ. Because they believe in a different Jesus. They deny that Jesus is God and Jesus said if you don't believe in who I Am you will die your sins. This is what's important here.
Exactly! I mention that a lot in my testimony! That scripture is what brought me to Christ. Once I realized his identity it all clicked and I was born again! Hallelujah for our Great God and Savior that came to die for us!!
Maybe because Jesus calls him his father and said the father is greater than I🙄these two scriptures should send alarm bells ringing for any believers in the 3 and 4 century teachings of a trinity🤦🏼 well that’s if you believe all this religious nonsense🤣🤣🤣
It’s “that I am” or I am [he] .. but we believe who he is according to 1 Corinthians 15 Jesus Was born of a virgin, live on earth, preach the kingdom of god, died for our sins and was resurrected on the 3rd day…. We believe is really IS the son of God, the messiah, the savior or mediator
@@Lasquez111the Greek word for greater is meizon. It means greater in position and not nature. Example, I am a father and I have son. And, my position as a father is greater than my son. I even have authority over my son. But, what are we? We are both still human. Another example, on my job I have a boss and I am his employee, he has a greater position than me and even has authority over me. But, what are we? We are still both human. Greater in the Greek meizon means greater in position and not nature. Jesus and the Father are one. Jesus and the Father share the same nature. What did Jesus say. Father glorify me with the glory which I shared with you before the world began. And we know God does not share His glory with anyone. Jesus was truly God and truly man.
