Jehovah Witnesses who's the real christian?

Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are not really Christians. They actually use the word "Christendom" as a derogatory word and every year during their memorial they deny Jesus is Christ when they refuse the sacrament.

Jehovah's Witnesses are quite similar to Pharisees. The word Pharisee actually means “set apart” and Jehovah's Witnesses like to believe that the rest of the world is under Satan's control while they are somehow immune. To be part of the world is considered a sin among them thus why they do not socialize with non-Jehovah's Witnesses. Thus Jehovah's Witnesses set themselves apart.

Further, obviously kindness and mercy have no meaning to these soulless people. They are so caught up in the wording and "law" of the Bible that they have forgotten Jesus's message of peace, tolerance, and fellowship. Jehovah's Witnesses like to believe that their twisted message of fear, paranoid, and hatred will somehow give them truth, but they have forgotten the fundamental precepts of Christianity.

Reading these responses I actually pity the Jehovah's Witnesses considerably. They are more than just false teachers and false prophets, they are so afraid of the external world's influence that they have fallen under Satan's influence from the internal direction instead. They could be friends and family members and instead they have chosen to be strangers and enemies. It's their choice, but I still feel like there should be something we can do to help them.

What a foolish (and tremendously bigoted) query! Since Jehovah's Witnesses ARE the one "truly Christians"on the planet at present, you are asking what or how we suppose approximately ourselves. Quite undoubtedly, we've a first-class love for each and every different, and it is that love that's the determining mark of real Christians as Jesus acknowledged. Now FALSE Christians are humans who declare to be Christian, however positioned their religion and believe in teachings and ideals which might be of guys and are NOT in any respect in concord with the Bible. Such UN-Christians ideals comprise: the trinity, hellfire, immortality of the soul, "Jesus is God", "all well humans move to heaven", and matters of that nature. People who suppose in the ones matters are the real "misplaced souls" who're blinded via Satan. *** Neither "The Truth" nor Ahuvahb have ever had any variety of arrangement with Jehovah's Witnesses, and are definitely no "ex JWs" or "former JWs" as they declare.

Yes, it was very kind and if she was not a JW and declined would you have posted this question. Did the church pass the contribution plate after things were calm again? If you spent 36 yrs you must not have been activly participating in your spiritual life..Look where you are at now.Pity...

Greetings,

And of course she was probably using hyperbole and which you must misrepresent as literal since you have no real argument against her beliefs.

The fact is that in such disasters it is not Witnesses who end up sleeping on the streets but they are always taken care of by their brothers and sisters. On the other hand, there are people of other religions who end up on the streets or in homeless shelters. If other religions would take care of their own members like the Witnesses do there would be no need of homeless shelters and food lines!!

Yours,

BAR-ANERGES

EDIT:

You have been misled or are purposely lying to others: The organization takes the initiative and sends massive financial and material aid to disaster areas.

It was her choice. If the church had power, warmth and food then was it the only place? What is her congregation had already power, warmth and food to provide also? She may of had friends she could turn to.

personally I think this whole story is a concoction. You seem to have starting number of accidental acquaintances with many JWs through some means or another.

Your comments show how little you really know about the JW. Its funny how people who are not JW seem to know more than the actual JW who live what they teach.

It is a well known fact that JW have been known world over for being the first ones on the scene when a natural desaster strikes. Here in Puerto Rico we get bad huricanes every 5-10 years and when that happens, the damages are great. Many people are left without homes and they all ahve to wait for FEMA or the RED CROSS to provide help, AFTER they have evaluated for themselves the problem. Just to show how diferent the JW are, I know of a fellow JW localy that had his roof taken away with a huricane. Within days, a team of many volunteers and a disaster relief comitee was at his house replacing the roof and this time making it strnger and sturdier than he could have ever thought of making it. Many huricanes have come since then and the house is still in good shape.

Going a little bit farther. I don't know if you recal a few years a go a series of back to back huricanes that hit florida and caused a lot of damage. My uncle and aunt lost half of their roof on the first one. Then the second one took another chunck and then the third took almost all that was left. The day after the third one, my uncle in in the part of the house that still had a roof over it and he was putting his boots on to go up to the roof and see what he needed to do to fix it. Suddently they hear a lot of loud noise on the roof and run outside. When they look, the brothers wave at them and have started to fix the roof. If that is not love and good organization, you obviously do not know the JW and the way they work. They will look for the other JW affected and take care of theirs first, but they will also help those in the area that have been affected. I can attest to that. So t is upsetting to have someone tell the lies you are saying about the JW and their suposed "lack of love".

In Haiti, with the earthquake, it is well known that the first relief volunteers and suplies, food and medicine, came from the JW. Who sent it? Weel to tell you the truth, many here in Puerto Rico wanted to know where we could take canned good and medicines and clothes to help out. But what where we told, that if we wanted to help out, we could pray for those affected and make continue to make our own voluntary donations to the World Wide Work. The headqurters, as is the custom, would take care to pay for what was necesary for the relief effort.

So I am very proud to belong to an organization that had it's members back in times of need. Very few other organizations can say the same.

If your JW mother in law has her opinion on not entering into another religion, that is her choice. Just like its your choice to be bies and critizice what you don't really know and undertand. No other religion in the world has done as much good as the JW and no other organization ever will, because of who they represent.

If your mother in law would participate in somethign from a religion she preached to be teaching false doctrines, wouldn't she be seen as a hypocrit by her neighbor or others?0

So if your mother in law chooses not to participate in a program by another religion, she is covered and does not need it. She is backed up by the only one she needs:

(Psalm 27:10) 10 In case my own father and my own mother did leave me, Even Jehovah himself would take me up.

Hopefully someday you will be able to see and feel the love that JW have for one another and for their neighbor.

===========================

If you would like to know more about this and other themes, next time Jehovah's Witness come to your door, ask them for a free Bible study at your convenience. You will never regret all the knowledge you will acquire and remember that what you do with that knowledge is your choice.

Knowledge + Application = Wisdom

If this story is true, she declined respectfully. And the reason we don't go into other religious organizations is to be careful not to stumble others. Even if she did go there for shelter only, if one of her weaker willed brothers or sisters in the faith saw her, they may mis-interpret it as being okay to get involved in some form of inter-faith. And the Isaiah 52:11, and 1 Corinthians 6:17 warns us to get out of her (false religion) and stop touching that unclean thing

Many churches claim to be clean but they carry on doctrines practices with pagan origins such as Trinity, Halloween, Christmas and Easter, we are very careful to separate ourselves from such things at all costs, even to sleeping on park benches, if necessary therefore I commend her, how committed are you to staying morally clean?

Hmmmmm..where will I sleep in the church ?

On the hard wooden benches,

or

in the dark confession cubicles ?

Hmmmmmmmm...

Can't blame her for choosing a bed at her her own family and friends house.

She decided in harmony with her conscience. Who knows what her background with Church was, whatever the case may be she made her decision....that doesn't mean that she feels that the Church is not "good enough". Perhaps she had arrangements elsewhere.

Seems as though, you're taking things out of context.

I would not really call it "Christian principles". Many religions not based in Christianity are taught to be kind to their fellow man. She would not step into any place of worship even it was a mosque, temple or church.

To enter another religions place of worship is to give that religion validity... your mother's neighbors church it is not good enough since it promotes a false version of Christianity. To enter into that place of worship to her is giving their false teachings about the trinity man-god, hellfire and a whole host of other pagan teachings validity.

Too bad your belief in God and his standards are not as high as your mother in law... You would probably burn incense to another god other than your trinity man-god if given the chance.
