i was answering a question in another part of answers and i came across this. but i am unable to understant what it says. Can any-one help. I am from the UK and am a Christian.

My grandfather was a Jehovah's witness, but at some point when he was older he stopped going to the Kingdom Hall. My mom and I didn't question this or ask him why. At his funeral, a man came up to me and my dad and told us the story of why Grandpa stopped going to the Kingdom Hall. One day he stood up in the congregation to speak. He said that he had been reading Colossians one day [It was even the New World Translation!] and he realized that Jesus is God!!! He was immediately excommunicated from the Jehovah's Witnesses. We think that just before he died, he received the REAL Christ as his savior. Praise the LORD!!!

Jeff Johansen meets a Jehovah's witness the day before Easter 2003

Well, they came to the door all smiles. The main speaker guy introduced himself as Jeff and I said: “THAT’S MY NAME TOO!” and we laughed. He was really friendly and that helped to take the edge off. If he would have been stern and argumentative it would not have gone very well.

He said he was and his friend were just going door to door on this Easter weekend and he wanted to share some of Jesus words from the Bible with me in relation to what many celebrated last night during 'Good Friday' - the Lord’s supper. This is interesting since JW's tend to blast all holidays like Easter and Christmas as being pagan. This seemed a hypocrisy on their part or flat out deception; pretend to want to take part in all the excitement of the Easter season but inside HATE the holidays.

First he went to Corinthians (of course) but he realized he wanted to share the Luke account with me and turned there instead. I said those were good words of Jesus and asked him what he thought of Jesus other words about being 'born again'. Then I asked them if they were born again and they got kind of quiet. I went on explain how being born again was the key to getting into the kingdom, not works such as his group and many others insisted upon. He thought I meant going door to door and I said yes, that is important, we do that too sometimes since Jesus does say go into all the world.

He asked what sort of church I went to so I said College Park Church up by the pyramids and told him though it was a Baptist church but that was not the important thing, being born again was and that is the key, and is what I ask people. I told him I noticed he hesitated when I asked him.

I went on to tell him of an experience I had with a guy of another major denomination at work who wanted me to accept his works based faith as a way to heaven since he accepted my faith alone way. I told the JW’s that that was awkward for me since, as they would agree, that guy was wrong (and they shook their heads in agreement of course because they disliked the other denomination). So I told them what I told that guy that being this denomination or that denomination was not as important as being born again and if our various denominations were about telling others the gospel message of Jesus and the importance of being born again that was where we could agree. Of course neither they nor this other man that I speak of would agree to that which is of course very sad. In both cases tradition overrules God's Holy Word and while God gives certain authority to man God never gives man any authority to change His Word. Both the JW's and the other major denomination I was speaking of have done that hundreds if not thousands of times down through the years. And of course it is wrong no matter how they try to spin it. But man insists that he has such authority from God, that is why we have so many denominations and why we have so many cults.

’JW Jeff’ said all that stuff I just told him was important to him to (the stuff I said about Jesus) and they too were concerned about others and wanted to make sure people got into the kingdom. So I brought up the 144,000 and we spoke about end time events for a while. I told them that many believe that to be is 144,000 Jewish male virgins. He said he had heard that and he said that God was done with Israel and that this now meant ordinary men and women. This is where I could tell they were starting to get a little nervous and wanted to wrap it up.

What I wanted to do (after I thought about it later) was to have spoke about some other people I know who spiritualize the second coming of Christ and show them the danger of spiritualizing the Bible. I am sure I could have had them amused if I would have told them that some people think we are in the kingdom now and have been since the first century, almost 1000 years beyond the 1000 years that Jesus said would be the length of His kingdom! As you probably know the Kingdom is HUGE to them and they really want to get into it! Well, we spoke more for a while of the topic of the coming kingdom and they left me some stuff (of cours
