We are not the only religion that doesn't celebrate Pagan festivities. Our organization ?. organization is necessary for any religion. Our ministry door to door? We a re following the example of Jesus and his disciples. Do you think you could do this? So all you who ask questions these type of questions don't be more concerned than we are.

Jehovah's witness have proven they have the truth, following the example that Jesus set for us.
It does not matter what the nay sayers have to say~ we will eventually be proven in the right.
May we continue to give Jehovah our best and God's blessing be upon us all.

Other religions say that they believe in Jesus. But the truth of the matter is that they believe in a false Jesus. Because the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is the Son of God not God. 1 John 5:5 That's why if they don't come to their senses soon, Jesus is going to tell them "Get away from me you workers of lawlessness I never knew you ". Why ? Because only those that do the will of the Father ( Jehovah) are the ones that are following the true Jesus. Matthew 7:21-23

What did Jesus say? Mathew 5:10 “Happy are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them.
11 “Happy are YOU when people reproach YOU and persecute YOU and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against YOU for my sake. 12 Rejoice and leap for joy, since YOUR reward is great in the heavens; for in that way they persecuted the prophets prior to YOU.
13 “YOU are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its strength, how will its saltiness be restored? It is no longer usable for anything but to be thrown outside to be trampled on by men.
14 “YOU are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid when situated upon a mountain. 15 People light a lamp and set it, not under the measuring basket, but upon the lampstand, and it shines upon all those in the house. 16 Likewise let YOUR light shine before men, that they may see YOUR fine works and give glory to YOUR Father who is in the heavens.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. [Ephesians 4:4-7]
He is also head of the body, the church, and He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; so that He Himself might come to have first place in everything. [Colossians 1:18]
But in case I am delayed, I write so that you may know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. [1 Timothy 3:15]
Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. [Acts 20:28]

Christians, or what you call, non-JW's are very concerned for your eternal life and hate to see you with the wrong understanding given to you by the group you must obey at all costs, the Governing body.
We all feel deeply for the lost like JW's and other that are members of other cults like yours.
Us Christians pray that the God of the bible, not the god of the JW's will open your eyes and allow you to see His truth rather than the lies of the GB.
As Christians we understand why you find the truth to be too hard to understand and even find it foolish.
1 Corinthians 2:14
The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

We are preachers of God's Kingdom, Matt 24:14, we ignore those that claim they were once one of us, they are the swine we are told not to cast pearls(truths) at! Our message is the same as Christ message (Luke 12:49-53). Our message will do the same as the message of Jesus did, it devides people (Luke 14:26)!
Those that think Jesus is God are the antichrist, John 12:28 separates Jesus from his Father (28 Father, glorify your name.” Therefore a voice came out of heaven: “I both glorified [it] and will glorify [it] again.”)
This is in harmony with Matt 6:9 where Jesus said to sanctify his Father's name and at John 14:28 Jesus himself says his Father is greater than he is!
The reason why ex witnesses are apostate is because they are like Judas, they betray the truth of God's word with the excuse of exposing the imperfection of man, they never were worshipers of God they worship man, when man makes false claims they will fail, Jesus' Apostles made false claims, they thought that Jesus was going to set up his Kingdom here on earth some 2000 years ago, they even argueed as to who was the greatest among themselves! If I worshiped man that would cause me to wonder about what they were teaching, I don't worship man I worship Almighty God whose name is Jehovah, I belive what the scriptures teach that Jesus was sent to this earth by his Father(John 3:16), his death paid my ransom and for his sacrifice he was exalted the the right of his heavenly Father Jehovah God where he was given all authority (Matt 28:18;Heb 1:1-13; Col 1:13-19)!
We expose false teachers and for that we are hated by the clergy(2 Tim 4:3-4), the clergy eyes have had a veil put over them so their teachings come from Satan the Devil who has blinded the sea of mankind(2 Corinthians 4:3-4)
Ignore the apostates, they won't go away until they are destroyed by Jesus himself, keep your mind on what Jesus told us to do (2 Timothy 4:2) preach the word, be at it urgently in favorable season, in troublesome season, reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all long-suffering and [art of] teaching.
We are nothing but those who plant and water, it is God who makes things grow, apostates are dead plants, toss them out in the garbage where they belong!

Because they are against Christianity and are crazy about it.
They will say anything to stumble a Christian witness of Jehovah. Have you noticed the quotes they have made in the last couple weeks that I have had to correct? They are misrepresenting what we teach and who we are. They do not care about us. They just care that they get us "out of the Watchtower".

They do not want to worship Jehovah nor do they want to even acknowledge that he is their God.
Sad isn't it?
This is not the time to turn aside from pure worship, but satan has planted seeds of hate and doubt in their minds and hearts and they allow those seeds to grow.
They have abandoned Jehovah and his theocratic arrangement.
As the Bible foretold ---not only do they prevent themselves from gaining eternal life by their sinful practices, they try their best to prevent anyone else from gaining it.
They only hurt themselves. They are not hurting us, because with Jehovah and Jesus on our side, what can they do to us? Nothing.
We offer them hope from the Bible. They refuse it.
We warn them that Jehovah will soon take action against those who have abandoned him and against all wickedness. They do not care.
They are being given the opportunity to escape the coming destruction of Satan's wicked world. They have freewill. They can seek protection by returning to the "fold" or they can wander aimlessly in Satan's world. The choice is theirs.
Continue to pray that the good news of Jehovah's Kingdom will reach their hearts before these last days come to an end.
