  • Why Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Go From Door to Door?

    They don't get paid. They are not crazy as some are Doctors, Bankers, Teachers and engineers to name a few. They except ridiculous and abuse for it.

    Is their message that important?

  • Who really rules the world? God or the Devil,?

    "We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." 1John 5:19

    "On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.” Revelation 12:12

    The good news is Jehovah sent his Son ,Jesus to break up the works of the devil.

    "The one who practices sin originates with the Devil, because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, to break up the works of the Devil." 1John 3:8

  • What Makes a Good Friend?

    Show that you really care

    "Just as you want men to do to you, do the same way to them. Practice giving, and people will give to you.” (Luke 6:31, 38) Here Jesus recommends true unselfishness and generosity. Such generosity nurtures good friendships. If you expend yourself in behalf of your friends without expecting anything in return, they will naturally feel drawn to you.

  • What is God's view of smoking?

    Romans 6:16

    "Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness?"

    When an individual’s thinking and actions are dominated by a craving for tobacco, he soon becomes a slave to a degrading practice.

    Jehovah, wants us to be free, not only from practices that harm our body but also from those that corrupt our spirit, that is, our dominant mental inclination. (Psalm 83:18; 2 Corinthians 7:1)

  • Will there ever come a time when there will be no wickedness on the earth?

    Psalms 37:9-11

    "For evil men will be done away with,

    But those hoping in Jehovah will possess the earth.

    ו [Waw]

    10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more;

    You will look at where they were,

    And they will not be there.

    11 But the meek will possess the earth,

    And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace"

    Very soon God's kingdom will replace all governments and only righteousness people will reside on the earth.

    Daniel 2:44 promises

    " In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever, "

    Matthew 6:10

    " Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth"

  • Who really is behind the suffering in the world?

    Revelation 12:9, 12

    " So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

    " On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time."

    So Jehovah is not to blame for the suffering in the world, Satan the devil is the cause.

    But soon Jesus is going to do away with Satan and his demons.

    Revelation 20: 1-3

    " And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 He seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for 1,000 years. 3 And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not mislead the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were ended. After this he must be released for a little while."

  • Does God use dreams to communicate with us today?

    1Corinthians 4:6

    "6 Now, brothers, these things I have applied to myself and A·pol′los for your good, that through us you may learn the rule: “Do not go beyond the things that are written,”

    No, Jehovah does not communicate through dreams because we have the complete word of God to guide us.

    1Timothy 3: 16,17

    " All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."

  • Does God know us individually ?

    Matthew 10:29,30

    "Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So have no fear; you are worth more than many sparrows."

    It's wonderful to know that Jehovah knows and cares for us as individuals, that why he knows who belongs to him. He sent his beloved Son Jesus Christ to die for YOU!

    John 3:16,17

    " “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him."

  • what happens when you die?

    Ecclesiastes 3: 19, 20

    "for there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals; they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit. So man has no superiority over animals, for everything is futile. 20 All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust."

    Genesis 3:19

    " In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”

    Jehovah is a cruel God who would permit even a wicked person to burn in some kind of eternal fire

    When you for you just cease to exist, you return to the dust from where you came

    What a loving creating

    1John 4:8

    "Whoever does not love has not come to know God, because God is love. "

  • Does our behavior have an effect on God?

    Psalms 78:40,41

    "How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness

    And made him feel hurt in the desert!

    41 Again and again they put God to the test,

    And they grieved the Holy One of Israel.

    This means that Jehovah is aware of each and everyone of us and He truly desires our whole souled devotion. What we do with our life really does matter.

  • Is God to blame for all human suffering?

    Genesis 3:2-4 "At this the woman said to the serpent: “Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat. 3 But as for [eating] of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘YOU must not eat from it, no, YOU must not touch it that YOU do not die.’” 4 At this the serpent said to the woman: “YOU positively will not die

    The first couple was free to eat of any tree in the garden, gut there was one that belonged to the owner of the garden... God. They choose to ignore the warning that they knew by heart (as she quoted it to Satan) Not to eat from the ONE tree- because they would die... They choose to eat anyway.Illustration:

    If your children wanted something to eat and you provided for for them all around the house an abundance of nourishing good food to eat, but you said don't cook on the stove it would be dangerous to you. But they choose to cook on that stove anyway even though they knew full well your rules. When they caught on fire, who would be responsible?. Can you blame the Parents for having a stove ?Can you blame the children for disrespecting their parents and their property but also not appreciating what they already had... Plenty of food already?

    Deuteronomy 32:4,5 The Rock, perfect is his activity,

    For all his ways are justice.

    A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice;

    Righteous and upright is he.

    5 They have acted ruinously on their own part;

    They are not his children, the defect is their own.

  • Why is it impossible to prove that God does not exist?

    Science gives much support to the existence of God (The Intelligent Designer) consider this..What if you came across a beautiful house that was well designed, beautiful architecture with all the efficiencies of comfortable living such as Plumbing ,heating ,cooling and a security system. Inside this house everything was beautifully finished with well crafted pieces. Functional suitable furniture. WHO would you give credit to for this magnificent design? Some man or woman would rightly get the credit.

    Even though every material that was used was not original to their creation they would still get the credit for putting it together so beautifully.

    Without even considering the vast, mathematical precision and exquisiteness of your entire universe, but just focusing on the earth itself with its intricate water systems, laws of gravity, eco systems , migration, perfect oxygen hydrogen to carbon ratio to sustain life, Natural Resources, minerals ,vegetation animal variety, it's beauty awesomeness. Who would you give credit to regarding these things? This illustration only touches on a fraction of a fraction of the intelligent design in creation. Can any man take credit for originating any of this?

    You will give credit to a man or woman who can only Design a house, but not give well deserved praise to the one who Created the universe.

    This scripture applies here

    Romans 1: 21,22

    "For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward...

  • Does James 1:13-15 mean that God of not to blame for our trials?

    " When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone. 14 But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn sin, when it has been carried out, brings forth death."

    Deuteronomy 32:4

    "The Rock, perfect is his activity,

    For all his ways are justice.

    A God of faithfulness who is never unjust;

    Righteous and upright is he."

    "Sym′e·on has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And with this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written: 16 ‘After these things I will return and raise up again the tent of David that is fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins and restore it, 17 so that the men who remain may earnestly seek Jehovah, together with people of all the nations, people who are called by my name, says Jehovah, who is doing these things, "

  • Question for Jehovah's Witnesses- Matthew 28:19,20?

    Is this scripture the reason why your organization is preaching all over the world?

    Jesus Christ did say that " This good news of the Kingdom will be preached to the entire inhabited earth" before the end come

    Matthew 24:14

    I noticed that your principal magazine ,The Watchtower is the most widely distributed journal in the whole world (googled it), and it's official statement is "Announcing Jehovah's KINGDOM"

    I don't believe anyone else besides you people is preaching on this scale specifically about the Kingdom.

    Against all odds, you seemed to have fulfilled a 2000 year old prophesy
