Real life and all its opportunities are a thousand times more rewarding and fulfilling than the Watchtower "slave" life. Today the three JW pioneers of my former congregation have not worked enough during their life to have a descent retirement. Today they live like paupers because they believed they would not grow old in this world as the Watchtower told them. The retirement pension of thousands of followers will reflect their life of sacrifice. After having "chosen" to sacrifice their youth by working for free for the Watchtower Society, the consequences of their "informed choice" will force them to also sacrifice their old age with a reduced pension. This apocalyptic cult only reduces man. The passage of time is a powerful and cruel revealer.

@@mr.d.c.1914.1 YES, indeed the Watchtower is surely one of the most toxic apocalyptic cults that exists. To constantly say that the "END" is imminent is not a mistake but a lie continually updated for decades and decades. It is only the fundamentalist movements that say that the "END" is imminent. The Watchtower promised my grandfather that he would not grow old in this system and that he would see heaven in his lifetime. Despite this false promise, the Watchtower persists and reiterates its promise by telling my father that he will not grow old in this system and that he will see paradise in his lifetime. After more than 140 years of false promises, this same company promises me today that I will not grow old in this system and that I will see paradise in my lifetime. Fortunately unlike in the past, today more and more JW parents are waking up and no longer want to infect their offspring with the Watchtower's false promises. Breaking the vicious circle of this transmission will allow all our beloved children to no longer be indoctrinated by this toxic propaganda which only obscures all natural aspirations of children to project themselves into the future. "The world in the year 2000, I see it transformed into a pretty paradise, I think that the current world and its leaders will not succeed in reaching this period..." Awake 11/08/86 p 8. In 1960 many JW gave up going to higher education in order to work more for the Watchtower society because the “END” was imminent. Many JWs never put money aside for retirement because they weren't supposed to age in this system. Many parents did not want to have children because the great persecution was imminent. Everything is false. This cult is a poison that transforms JWs into docile zombies in the service of a real estate company that has been in for more than 140 years.

Their first "faithful discreet slave" and prophet actually went to Egypt to measure the Great Pyramid in American inches he called "God's inches". Did Armageddon end in 1914? come in 1915, 1917, 1918, 1920? Remember he claimed this came from God and that he was God's "mouthpiece". Same here today.

Studies in the Scriptures - The Time is at Hand (1889) 1911 ed. p.99 *"This chronology is not of man, but of God.

Is the Plan of Salvation really part of God's Plan of Creation?

Three thoughts: 1. JW's depiction of both Yahweh and Satan, throughout much of the doctrine I've seen from this side of KZread, paints almost some gnostic Christianity ideas, especially almost Duelism (world bad, heaven good) that was a big enough heterodox theology in early Christianity that they had a whole council on it. I mean they give Satan so much credit, it's akin to how many gnostic texts considered the Demiurge the ruler of Mundus 2. The way you speak about idols, would by your own definition exclude most if not all the Pagan or Ethnic gods, many of them stretch so far back into Prehistory that we don't know exactly where or when they came about. In fact in Hesiod and Homer the Hellenic (Greek) god specifically revel themselves and their natures. Nothing really manufactured about them. 3. The way you speak about the elect, makes me think you might hold on to some Calvinist points. Anyway, glad you're happy where you are now.

Genesis 1:1,2 New International Version The Beginning 1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and *the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.* Genesis 2:7 Amplified Bible 7then the LORD God [d]formed [that is, created the body of] man from the [e]dust of the ground, *and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being [an individual complete in body and spirit].* Jesus was transferred from heaven and was born as a human baby. How was that done? Luke 1:35 New Living Translation The angel replied, *“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.* So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God. At Jesus baptism what happened? Obviously something changed in Jesus because at that point he started doing the assignment he had been sent to earth to do... Luke 3:21-23 New Living Translation The Baptism of Jesus 21One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened, *22and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove.* And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.g” *23Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his public ministry.* Jesus was known as the son of Joseph. Joseph was the son of Heli. How was Jesus bought back to life? Romans 8:11 New Living Translation *11The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead,* lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. After his resurrection Jesus told his followers to wait for holy spirit because it would support them in carrying out the commission he gave them to preach earth-wide. Holy spirit gave them the ability to speak in foreign languages instantly. Acts 1:8 New Living Translation *But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses,* telling people about me everywhere-in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, *and to the ends of the earth.”* Acts 2:1-4 New Living Translation *The Holy Spirit Comes* 1On the day of Pentecosta all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. *4And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages,b as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.* The disciples of Jesus came under persecution/opposite. Look what the spirit did when Jesus followers received it... Acts 4:18,23,31 New Living Translation 18So they called the apostles back in and *commanded them never again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.* *The Believers Pray for Courage* 23As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said. 31After this prayer, the meeting place shook, *and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.* So now you can probably see what Holy spirit is. Its a power from God that accomplishes whatever God wants. I used to explain it to my kids like hands. Humans use their hands to do things, God uses Holy spirit to do what he wants. Luke 11:20 New Living Translation But if I am casting out demons by the *power of God,* then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you. New International Version But if I drive out demons by the *finger of God,* then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Exodus 8:19 New Living Translation *“This is the finger of God!”* the magicians exclaimed to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart remained hard. He wouldn’t listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted. The ones who killed Jesus demonstrated that they were working directly against God. Which is what an unforgivable sin is...resisting/stopping God doing what he wishes. Acts 7:51 New International Version 51“You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. *You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit!* Mark 3:29 New Living Translation but *anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences.”* So God's reach is boundless. That is the point in Psalms 139. God's spirit can create, recreate/resurrect (if one dies), it can motivate, it can give one miraculous abilities etc. Psalm 139:7,8 New Living Translation *7I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!* 8If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave,a you are there. Proverbs 15:3 New Living Translation *The LORD is watching everywhere,* keeping his eye on both the evil and the good. Hebrews 4:13 New Living Translation *Nothing in all creation is hidden from God.* Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable. God God has access/can see everywhere but that doesn't mean it is everywhere. As the bible says his location is in heaven... **If God was truly in all places simultaneously then why did he send messengers/representatives?** Acts 7:53 New International Version 53you who have received *the law that was given through angels* but have not obeyed it.” Hebrews 1:1,2 New Living Translation Jesus Christ Is God’s Son *1Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways* to our ancestors through the prophets. *2And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son.* God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe.

In your Bible God literally declares his name Jehova! Look rn

So then you are saying it is useless to pray if God already knew what you are going to do, why pray to him, since he already knew what you are going to do. So if God made you with FREE WILL, yet he knows what you are going to do,IS THAT FREE WIIL?

Yes. There is a massive difference between God planning you’ll do an action, and God foreknowing you’ll do that action. With enough information, I know how a child will react in a certain situation, and be 90% sure. I didn’t choose the action, they did. Now have infinite knowledge that isn’t just about the present and past, but future also. You’ll understand 100% what’s happening, and what will happen. Doesn’t mean you planned it. God’s infinite knowledge doesn’t remove our free will or make God less than God. Also even if he didn’t want to give us free will, or issue his will over our own, he’s allowed to, since we’re the creation, and he’s the creator. God answers to no one, he can do as he pleases.

As a Biblical school instructor and researcher for the JW's for over 40 years; you learn not to oversimplify conclusions, but allow the entire 66 inspired books of the Holy Scriptures to enlighten you. Jehovah is a distinct spiritual person with definitive qualities. He is not an "omnipresent" abstract impersonal force residing in all creation. His name means, "He causes to become"; and this signifies that he can choose to become what He needs to, to accomplish His purpose. He can also direct His holy spirit; or active force, to become operative upon any human activity or spiritual activity in heaven or on earth, that He wants it to be. As for omniscience; God selectively chooses to exercise His ability to foresee outcomes and the future when it suits His lofty purposes. The events in the Garden of Eden were later shown throughout the scriptures as time elapsed, that a rebellion had taken place in heaven, the one called Satan the Devil; meaning "resistor", had challenged God's right to rule, questioning His way of rulership, and the reasons humans should render Him worship. The scriptures throughout the Bible teach that rather than destroy the rebels; God chose to allow a great deal of time to settle this issue so that once and for all time, those that lived could see the wisdom of God's rulership or choose to live for their own selfish desires and witness the outcome of men governing men. As for omnipotence; just because God has infinite powers, that doesn't mean He always chooses to use them. His primary quality of wisdom dictates when and how he expresses His power. The same way a strong man chooses to display love toward those in his family or those of his circle of friends; rather than always trying to assert his strength over them. This is just a summary of the derived conclusions on what the Bible teaches on those matters; and could take hours of reading scriptures to you which have drawn me and millions of others to these conclusions Ask an experienced JW elder; say one who's been serving for at least 20 years, for more details. It would take too many references to list here to explain these conclusions. But sadly, the organization has confused their loyalty these days between the governing body and Jehovah. They have made these men their God, and that's why it's hard for me to go back to this organization. Good luck in your quest for accurate knowledge of God. John 17: 3.@@LightoverDarkMinistry

@@connormusic9274 Thanks for the response. I would love to talk with you. You seem to have an interesting perspective.

*Part 1* - You seem to be mixing up 2 things that look similar. God being spirit and God's Holy spirit. John 4:24 New Living Translation *For God is Spirit,* so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” 1 Corinthians 15:44 New Living Translation They are buried as natural human bodies, *but they will be raised as spiritual bodies.* For just as there are natural bodies, *there are also spiritual bodies.* Jesus was human but then what did he change to upon his death and resurrection? 1 Peter 3:18 New Living Translation Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. *He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.* So anything going to heaven or in heaven must be what? Spirit. Jesus explained this in relation to being born again (being changed from physical to spirit). John 3:3-7 New Living Translation 3Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again,a you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” 4“What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?” 5Jesus replied, *“I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.* b 6Humans can reproduce only human life, *but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.* c 7So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘Youd must be born again.’ 1 Corinthians 15:52,53 New Living Translation 52It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And *we who are living will also be transformed. 53For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.* I'm sure you would agree that anything from God is inherently good. But is everything spiritual good? Ephesians 6:12 New Living Translation For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, *and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.* So no, not everything in spirit form is good. Therefore not everything in spirit is from God...

Jehovah's Witnesses are commanded by Jehovah God to preach the good news of the Kingdom in all the world so that people of all nations will have an opportunity to know of God’s new world. (Matthew 24:14; 28: 19, 20) Jehovah God is now offering you an opportunity for life in his new world, where he will bless faithful people with the desires of their hearts. (Psalm 10:17; 27:4) What is the desire of your heart? 💖

You all have been told over and over again that only you have the TRUTH which causes pride which causes less to no grace. ONLY God's word is the TRUTH as it is written! God's word interprets itself! The Spirit of Truth guides us. Stop following men and follow the Lord. They all have added and subtracted from the word of God and put in a form of men's doctrines, just like the Pharisees of Judah of Jerusalem. Who ALL SAY that they alone have the TRUTH. They are all harlots of their mother! Charles Taze Russell was a Zionist as were the leaders of all the others who popped up in around the 1800's. He even named his material - ZION. Check out his tombstone and that of Ellen White. Pyramids and Obelisks, from Egypt. There was a lot of deception going on then. You are wrongly taught against scripture just as some Jews/Hebrews taught in the beginning of the church that is why the book of Hebrews needed to be written. Hebrews 1 clearly teaches that Jesus was NOT an angel but God calls him God. Another one of those false teachings is that the Lord Jesus rose as a spirit. That is a lie. He rose in the flesh, not human flesh but glorified flesh. He is come in the flesh and to say he did NOT come in the flesh is to be an ANTICHRIST. (2 John 1:7) The J.W.'s (zionists) repeat what the Jewish chief priests paid the soldiers to say about the Lord's body. (Matthew 28:11-15) But the TRUTH is in Luke 24:36-43. Luke 24:37-39 King James Version 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a SPIRIT. 38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not FLESH and BONES, as ye see ME HAVE.

John 20:17 New Living Translation 17“Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, *‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”* Jesus said those words *after* his resurrection back to life.

On one particular point, omniscience. It is you who have shot yourself in the foot. God CHOOSES when he looks into the future. Obviously he can. But if we take it to the length that you have, following it to it's logical conclusion, you also have to accept the doctrine of Predestination. No ifs or buts; you have to. Not surprised you didn't want to get into that here. Also, by saying that God knew beforehand that Adam and Eve would sin, you make him out to be no better than the Gods of Greek and Norse myth who saw humans as their playthings and as a source of amusement. How can you make these claims and simultaneously say you believe in an "All loving" God? All the misery that has transpired over human existence was part of God's original plan if you are correct. While you mock witnesses by having God say "New Plan", according to your view it must have been the plan all along. (Including the ransom sacrifice) I think you need to pause to consider the implications of your theology before you make videos like this. Like how is it that a "loving" God could set mankind up to fail? Even if you don't believe that the creation was originally perfect like Witnesses do, and just "Very good" like you said in your previous video, how is this even "Very good"? Good enough for the theatre that human existence was always meant to be? (According to you) Because you make it sound almost as if, pre-creation, Jehovah wrote a script that we are all just acting out. Trying to find logic in your position here - with it's implications for predestination, God's perfection, free will, etc. - is like trying to fully comprehend time and space. It can't be done.

WAIT A TICK... GOD CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND DIED FOR OUR SINS???!! THAT'S NOT RIGHT! THAT IS NOT AN EQUAL SACRIFICE. GOD DIEING FOR MEN??? ADAM WAS A PERFECT HUMAN WHEN HE SINNED SO A PERFECT HUMAN (JESUS) HAD TO BE SACRFICED FOR OUR SINS TO BE FORGIVEN. ADAM WAS NOT A GOD SO GOD DID NOT HAVE TO DIE FOR US. THAT'S WHY THE DEVIL AND DEMONS CANT BE FORGIVEN, BECAUSE AN ANGEL CANT DIE FOR AN ANGEL. THEY ARE IMMORTAL.

Good job exposing JW's falsehoods - But, If Jesus was God (in the Flesh) then his dying was a Sham!! There would not be a sacrifice! Why? God Can't DIE! Can he? So maybe there's another answer. Still wanting to understand.

See we humans kinda think we're highly intelligent and somehow can figure out the ways of God. It's an asinine concept to even try to understand God. But Men will try to do this regardless.

I must inform you Mr.D.C.1914, that Jesus Christ, aka Yeshua ha messiach, was NOT created. Here is some Biblical proof of that: In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. [John 1;1] And the word became flesh and dwelt among us. [John 1:14] Then Jesus said to them, "most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM" [John 8:58] Thomas said to Jesus, "My Lord and my God." [John 20:28] For in him, {Jesus}, all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities, all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is BEFORE all things, and in Him ALL THINGS HOLD TOGETHER. [colossians 1;16] Jesus himself states in Revelation 1:8, "I AM the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, who is, who was, and who is to come, "THE ALMIGHTY" ". The name of the Almighty God is YHWH, Yahweh. JW's wrongly call Him by the name Jehovah. John 10:30 Jesus said "I and the Father are one". YHWH is God YESHUA/Jesus is God THE RUACH ha KODESH/Holy Spirit is also God. These three are one God. I would advice you to stop reading The New World Translation Bible as it has been altered to suit the JWs beliefs.

This video is highly flawed. God closely monitors His creation, but not to the nth degree. He doesn't read every email sent for example. I know this from personal experience. Plus God is not above basic reality. The metal copper has a certain hardness, melting point, electrical conductivity etc. He honors this since efficacy cannot be achieved otherwise. This also means that God cannot predict what anyone will do in the future since He honors their free moral agency. This authors ideas appears in many books, but they are a blend of truth and error, as is commonly the case with religion.

2 Corinthians 10:5

Use extreme caution. Blasphemy is an unforgiveable sin. Say what you will about us, even our Lord Jesus Christ, it will be forgiven you. But using Jehovah's name unworthy, in contempt and hatred, will never be pardoned you. Matt. 12:31, 32. Ex.20:7. Most of you have already condemned yourselves to this sin that is unremovable. We're Gods fellow workers in the saving of souls, it's he who is trying with fatherly love and mercy toward you people that we're sent out to preach the good news, seeking lambs among wolves. Matt.10:16; 9:37; 1 Cor.3:9; Col.4:11. Jehovah is a loving just God, whether you like it or not, he's your God too, he gave his Son for a ransom for you and me. But he must be true to himself, and his earthly and heavenly family. It hurts him when people treat us so disrespectfully, we love like he loves, it's the wickedness in your hearts that he hates. Satan the Devil speaks disrespectfully and with contempt and hatred not only for Jehovah but for us, Gods worshipers, we have life giving sayings of truth to share with others. Jesus gave this command to his followers: '' Go! and make disciples of people of all the nations... teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you.'' (His 12-apostles). Matt. 28:19,20; 24:14; John 8:32 The wrath of Jehovah God is coming against all those that have Blasphemed against him and his holy sacred name. Work toward your salvation, ''PROBABLY,'' you may be saved. Zeph.2:3. Amen.

The senseless one has said in his heart "There is no Jehovah." They have acted ruinously, they have acted detestably in [their] dealing. There is no one doing good. (Psalms 14:1) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why Was Jehovah’s Name Removed From The Bible..???? First off, it was a MISTAKE to remove God's Name from the bible. WHY ? As Author of the Bible, Only God himself has the right to change or alter the Bible. God himself gave mankind a warning in his own Word The Bible to NOT add to NOR take away from his Words. This Is My Name Forever. Ex : 15 Those who study ancient Hebrew Bible manuscripts, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, are struck by the many occurrences of the Tetragrammatonthe four Hebrew letters that represent Gods name. The divine name appears not only in those ancient Hebrew manuscripts but also in some copies of the Greek from the second century B.C.E. through the first century C.E. Despite the clear evidence that the personal name of God belongs in the Bible, many translations completely omit the sacred name of God. In 1952, the Revised Standard Version was published. That version omitted the name, reversing the policy of the editors of the American Standard Version of 1901. Why? The preface says: The use of any proper name for the one and only God . . . is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church. That set a pattern for many subsequent translations, English and non-English. w15 12/15 2:3-5 Excerpts from the Psalms in a Dead Sea Scroll dated to the first half of the first century C.E. The text is in the style of the Hebrew letters commonly used after the Babylonian exile, but the Tetragrammaton appears repeatedly in distinctive ancient Hebrew letters Why Do Some Bible Translations Not Use The Name Jehovah For God Jehovah is a pronunciation of the Hebrew consonants of YHWH and the vowels of Adonai . When the Hebrew Bible was first written down in the Hebrew language, they wrote only with consonants, not vowels. So the sacred Name of God was written YHWH and likely was pronounced Yahweh. For millennia, Jews have gone to great lengths to avoid misusing the Name of their God, as he commanded them at the mountain after he delivered them from Egypt. At some point, ancient Jews began saying Adonai when they saw YHWH. It wasn't until the 10th century that a group of scholars called the Masoretic sect, put vowels into the Hebrew text of the First Testament. They left the consonants YHWH in 7,000+ locations to show it was Gods Name. But they added the vowels of Adonai to the consonants to show later generations how to pronounce the word: Adonai. So Jehovah is a pronunciation of the vowels and consonants as they appear in the Masoretic Text, though it is not how the Jews would have known the Name of God. Out of respect for the Jewish tradition of not uttering the sacred Name of God, the Committee on Bible Translation for the NIV have chosen to display every instance of the Name YHWH in the Hebrew Bible as Lord. Based on this commandment, Second Temple Judaism by the Hellenistic period developed a taboo of pronouncing the name Yahweh at all, resulting in the replacement of the Tetragrammaton by “Adonai” in pronunciation. In the Hebrew Bible itself, the commandment is directed against abuse of the name of God, not against any use there are numerous examples in the Hebrew Bible and a few in the New Testament where God’s name is called upon in oaths to tell the truth or to support the truth of the statement being sworn to, and the books of Daniel and Revelation include instances where an angel sent by God invokes the name of God to support the truth of apocalyptic revelations. God himself is presented as swearing by his own name to guarantee the certainty of various events foretold through the prophets. The Pope told an audience during an event celebrating a new version of the Torah that his decision to upend over fifteen hundred years of secrecy was driven in part by a need for greater transparency within the Catholic Church. It is a scandal to say one thing and do another, declared Pope Francis before adding that the Church is leading a double life by continuing to keep Gods name secret. A source inside the Vatican Secret Archives told Sky News that the Church first became aware of the scrolls existence in the fifth century. The scrolls were uncovered by the Romans during siege of Jerusalem and the subsequent destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. Nearly four centuries came to pass before Rome would hand over control of the scrolls to the Church in 463 A.D., the source explained. Upon inspection, Pope St. Hilarius issued a decree striking any mention of Gods name from official Church literature.
