I'm ex-Jehovah's Witness in Japan. (Please forgive my imperfect English). I think that Jehovah's Witnesses are God's organization. But, Governing Body is falling into spiritual snooze. (Based on Nt25:5). So, Jesus Christ will soon come to inspect the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses. See http://goo.gl/z1303
Is Jehovah's Witness "the primary cause" of sexual abuse case?
Does the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses cause sexual abuse cases? No.
An incident occurred because both the perpetrator and the victim's parents did not strictly implement the organization's guidance. If they followed the guidance of the organization saying "it should not spend time with the opposite sex in a closed room", such case never would have happened.
After the incident, the organization was consulted by the victim. However, due to insufficient evidence, the elders did not recognize the incident occurred. So they did not notify the police.
_
Thus, Jehovah's Witnesses are not "the primary cause" of abuse case. It was the abuse case itself that was the "the primary cause" that caused the injury of victim's heart.
However, in the trial, despite not verifying that "the primary cause", they are discussing existence or non-existence of "second rape". For that reason Jehovah's Witnesses are regarded as being the root of all evil.
★Rather, Shouldn't we first think about the reasons for the occurrence of the abuse cases themselves that is the "the primary cause"?
Of course, perpetrators are guilty. This point has no room for discussion.
Meanwhile, I think that parental supervisory responsibility should also be questioned. In fact, if the parents strictly adhere to the guidance of the organization, such incident would have not happened.
★So, who should be responsible for "the primary cause" that is abuse cases themselves?
What do you think?
6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality3 years agoDon't you think that the judgment of sexual abuse lawsuits against Jehovah's Witnesses is unfair?
I am Japanese. Please forget imperfect English.
_
I heard about sexual abuse lawsuits. I think that that ruling is too unfair.
That reason is as follows.
_
1. Elders' judgment is "estimated innocence" based on "insufficient evidence" and is the same as the standard of general courts.
2. If parents of victim were loyal to the instructions from the organization, sexual abuse cases should have not occurred.
3. The source of pollution of sexual abuse is not in Jehovah's Witness, but in the dark part of American society.

5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality3 years agoDid the sexual abuse incident occur because the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses was wrong?
I am Japanese. Please forget incomplete English.
I will ask questions about sexual abuse lawsuit against Jehovah's Witnesses.
_
The organization of Jehovah's Witnesses instructs that do not to spend time with the opposite sex in a closed room or in a car. They also instruct to avoid unnecessary contact with the opposite sex even if the opponent is an elder.
Of course, in case of sexual abuse, it is the perpetrators who are primarily responsible. However, if the parents of the victim were strictly executing the instructions of the organization, they should have been able to avoided the damage.
Parents should bear more responsibility for supervising their children than anyone else.
_
So, did the sexual abuse incident occur because the guidance of Jehovah's Witnesses was wrong?
Or did it happen because parents were not strictly implementing the organization's guidance?
What do you think about it?
3 AnswersReligion & Spirituality3 years agoThe view of Jehovah's Witnesses about 607 BCE. Is it correct?
Carl Olof Jonsson has disproved at the following link.
http://kristenfrihet.se/english/gtr4/contents.htm
In short, he argues this: "the view of Jehovah's Witnesses is wrong. '70 years' of Jeremiah should be considered in association with the domination of Babylon".
However, I have objection to this rebuttal article.
ーーーーー
First, please read (2Ch36:21) and (Da9:1-2).
As described above, Ezra and Daniel were associated with the state of Jerusalem and "70 years". Therefore, when we consider "70 years" of Jeremiah, like they, we should have a major interest to the state of the Jerusalem which is the city of God.
In this way, by Ezra and Daniel, the interpretation about "70 years" of Jeremiah has already been explicit. Therefore, by Carl Olof Jonsson has given the association between the rule of Babylon, there is no need to add new interpretation that is different the Bible authors.
ーーーーー
The main interest of Ezra and Daniel was about the temple in Jerusalem. So, "70 years" of Jeremiah began from "destruction the Jerusalem temple", and ended by "homecoming of the Jews ".
In other words, this is a prophecy about the state of true worship about from "when the true worship has been cut off", to "when true worship is restored".

13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 years agoDo the scandals of Jehovah's Witnesses have a prophetic meaning?
Hello. I'm ex-JW in Japan. I think that Jehovah's Witnesses is God's organization.
Watch Tower Society lost in court. Many people might be disappointed with the corruption of the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses recent.
Many people may think that God's organization is always blameless. However, the record of the Bible is not so. And, I think that there is meaning that God organization rots. What do you think? (This is my question).
-----------------
For reference, I show my opinion in the following.
-
I think that Matthew 25:5 is fulfilled in the current Governing Body.
"While the bridegroom was delaying, they all became drowsy and fell asleep". (Mt 25:5).
Please attention to "they all". In other words, even the discreet (true anointed remnants) virgins also fall into snooze.
In fact, this is the fundamental reason of misconduct of the organization of JW. In other words, now, Governing Body is falling into spiritual snooze.
But, they will soon wake up. At that time, the bridegroom Jesus Christ will come to inspect God's people.

Do the scandals of Jehovah's Witnesses have a prophetic meaning?
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoAre Jehovah's Witnesses true Christians?
JW has refused to military service. Therefore, at the time of the Second World War, they did not bear the sin of blood.
On the other hand, many Christians shed blood.
Therefore, after the war, God was blessed JW. And they increased phenomenally.
On the other hand, many churches were decline.
I said the only fact. So, what is this mean?
-
This is "the wheat" and "the tares". (Mt13:24-30, 36-43). Of course, JW is wheat. In other words, they are true Christians. The Second World War showed that difference clearly.
Can you identify this difference?
18 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoCan Jehovah's Witnesses be said God's true organization?
-
Jesus taught: "Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name". (Mt6:9).
God's name should be holy. But, many churches has been hiding God's name. Is it God's will?
No, Devil wants to eliminate God's name. Because, God's name is an eyesore for Devil.
God announced God's name by the Old Testament. This is the will of God.
However, without permission of God, they deleted God's name from the Bible. They ignore the policy of God, and give priority to their own policy.
So, what is their policy? Yes, it is the will of Devil.
-
But, In fact, many churches did not hid God's name. To be precise, God prohibited that they use God's holy name. (See Es1:19. 1:16-20).
Ancient Israelites normally have used God's name. In fact, God's name of 7000 times are written in the Old Testament. God's true people have been praying to God by using God's name. And, God also had answered them. This is God's true people.
If you are general Christian, you are prohibited from using God's holy name. Have you ever thought about God's name in such a point of view?
-
On the other hand, Jehovah's Witnesses has set the God's name to the front. Without permission of God, are they doing so? Or, did God permit to them?
For example, usually, people write the name in their possessions. So, God also should subject his name to his organization.
Today, Jehovah's Witnesses who is called by God's name, aren't they God's true organization?
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years ago(2) Will ”economic aggression by China” happen?
I think that Genesis 14 is a prophetic story. (Ga4:24).
The other day, I said as follows.
-
"4 kings" show BRIC s. (Brazil, Russia, India, China).
And, "5 kings" show US, UK, EU, and Japan.
It is "economic aggression" by China. So, it will be deployed to the global scale.
-
In fact, China capital is doing the buyout in other countries. So, it might be said that this story has already been fulfilled.
However, in the story, "decisive event" has occurred. 4 kings completely won to the Sodom and Gomorrah.
"At this point, the king of Sodom went on the march, and also the king of Gomorrah … and they drew up in battle formation against them in the Valley of Siddim, against Chedorlaomer king of Elam … —four kings against the five. … the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah tried to escape and fell into them, and those who remained fled to the mountainous region. Then the victors took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food and went on their way". -Ge14:8-11.
-
My interpretation is as follows.
Winner: Chedorlaomer = China (the king of the north)
Loser: Sodom and Gomorrah = America (the king of the south)
In other words, China will economically "decisive win" against the US.
Specifically, by the erosion of China capital, the United States economy may be overturned.
-
So, I ask.
If China capital will overturn the American economy, what do you predict about the future deployment?

Und "5 Könige der südlichen" Show Verbündeten des "der Königs des Süden".
Sie sind USA, Großbritannien, der EU und Japan.

Zukünftige Entwicklungen, die zu erwarten sind, sind wie folgt.
Zum einen ist dies keine umfassenden Krieg mit dem König des Nordens und den König des Südens. Ich denke, es ist die "wirtschaftliche Aggression" von China.
"4 Könige der nördlichen" besiegten Nationen der Ostseite des Jordan. So die wirtschaftliche Aggression durch China würde auftreten im globalen Maßstab. Schließlich würde auch die USA (= Sodom und Gomorra) eine vernichtende Niederlage erleiden.

(2) If so, isn't Governing body falling into spiritual snooze?

Governing body who is watchman is dozing. Therefore, devils are invading in the congregation. In fact, this is the fundamental reason of misconduct of the organization of JW.

Jesus will soon come to inspect the organization of JW. Because, the Bible says: "For it is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of God". (1Pe4:17).
In other words, judgment by Jesus will begin from the organization of JW.
Of course, it will occur before the destruction of Babylon the Great.

---------
"And Jehovah went on to say to him: “Pass through ・・the midst of Jerusalem, and you must put a mark on the foreheads of the men that are sighing and groaning over all the detestable things that are being done in the midst of it.”"-Ez 9:4
"the midst of Jerusalem" is God's organization. In short, the Bible had prophesied that God's organization rotted.
But, Mal4:5 says:
"Look! I am sending to YOU people Elijah the prophet before the coming ・・ day of Jehovah."
Elijah will preach: "Repent!". Indeed, now is the situation that God's people should repent.
The order's as follows.
1. God's organization rots.
2. Faithful ones are "sighing and groaning".
3. Elijah is sent, and he preaches: "Repent!".
4. Jesus come to judge, after Elijah.

The Bible stories have a prophetic meaning. (Ga4:24)
Based on the above, I thought about Genesis Chapter 14.
At the time of Abraham, 4 kings of the northern fought with 5 kings of the southern. At that time, Lot was abducted. However, Abraham rescued him with 318 slaves. And, priest Melchizedek blessed Abraham.

Well, let's clarify the fulfillment of the characters in this story. I interpreted this as follows.
The "4 kings of the northern" show the allies of 'the king of the north'.
They are BRIC's. (Brazil, Russia, India, China).
And, "5 kings of the southern" show allies of 'the south of the king'.
They are US, UK, EU, and Japan.
-----
Future developments that are expected are as follows.
First, this is not a full-scale war with the king of the north and the king of the south. I think that it is "economic aggression" by China.
"4 kings of the northen" defeated nations of the east side of the Jordan. So, economic aggression by China will be deployed to the global scale. Finally, even the USA (=Sodom and Gomorrah) would suffer a crushing defeat.
