@@BjoernarEricSven I was a brother for 7 years and watched children get thrown out of their home while still baptized. It's disgusting. Good luck with that gross cult
Christian: Do you imitate Jesus? JW: We imitate whatever the Governing Body tells us to imitate... and when, where, how and even how to relieve ourselves if it comes to that.
Hmmm. Let's see, " prove you're not just doing what THEY TELL YOU to do, even if it's what you want to do, by doing what I /WE want you to do, even if you don't want to. Seems a bit hypocritical.
Yes. As far as "relieving ourselves" it HAS come to that for many JWs. At one talk, the brother talked about how some JWs were in a cesspool and the elder there had everyone hold their pee and poo until they couldn't absolutely hold it any longer. This was very moving for us in the audience. And let's not talk about field service. If door to door, we KNOW we hold it if we have to go.
+mrk107 show me where it says go door to door and make disciples? is it only j.w own teaching? i evangelize not by words but actions. Jesus commissioned His followers to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything He had commanded Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15 j.w don't even believe in trinity it's a cult.
@Martin Isho. Acts 20:20 (King James Bible) And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,Matthew 24:14 (King James Bible) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.Both are commands. If you're a follower of Jesus, you will DO AS TOLD.
mrk107 this man just proved you wrong!!! Yet you want people to listen to you when you invade their privacy and know at their door just to preach them lies. All in the name of the watchtower, not Jesus.
Despicable, rude people!!! They believe in the golden rule. So next time they knock at your door you’ll know how to treat them. They are hypocrites!!! They are blind , don’t see this man.
***** In the JW religion, they're all correct, and everyone else is wrong and misled by Satan. Literally. It's arrogance and pretentiousness of the highest order.....which is ironic, given how many false prophecies, lies, hypocrisy, double-standards, changes in doctrine, and protection of sex offenders and pedophiles they have on record.
christopher benson Have you read the bible? Or have you read the lips of another man? He may decieve you but do not let it consume you. Justice is but a mans entity, to not let his blind insticts attack you spiritually. Have a great day. :)
Hi Den Yes ive read the Bible I also know about the beliefs and history of Jehovah witness / Watchtower cult religon and in a nutshell its false controlling full of lies hyprocrises and cover ups Have you done your research on them and properly?
Almighty GOD YHVH is a God of justice. As so as Crist Jesus the Son of God. But the JWs are so indoctrinated to the point they turn into rude people.. I was there for 47 years. I,m out. The JW they think they can represent GOD here on earth, better than anybody else... But we can see the results. They don't represent GOD,s image very well.... May be is not their fault... It's what they are told to fallow.
So hard to believe. I was a Witness for 3 years and I was eventually shunned and disfellowshipped for simply "yoking with unbelievers", as they call it. All the world needs is the love Christ showed, and everyone and everything will simply be a better place of genuine love.
I did it for 7 years and married one. I did drugs and instead of getting love and help I was ignored by all my friends I made. I let go of all my worldly friends and lost all contact with them. So all my jw friends shunned me and it helped me how? The religion is not loving at all
This person is a liar they must have commotted serious sins unrepentantly he is a liar like my disfellowshilled lying brother that took the rent and food money and spent it all on pot and cocaine not one month but unrepentantly two months in a row first they forgave his serious sin with just a public relroof but he trampled on their mercy and even committed adultery too and all the while claiming he did nothing bad, these people lie
This demonstrates the complete and utter mind control of the cults. This is exactly the scenario played out the world over to those who ask questions about the organisation. I was shunned as a bible student because I asked at a home group about the WT membership of the UN and questioned the validity of the NWT in view of Johannes Greber's interpretation used at John 1:1 who received this interpretation from his wife's spirit guide...she was a medium ! This group is led not by God's hand but by the hand portrayed in their "revelation" book pg 52 !!
THIS IS GREAT! My wife got me to go to three of these conventions. The first two people were VERY VERY nice to me. (I think its called "Love bombing" when they know you OR someone in their group) Then this last day of the convention I just wore a nice shirt, no tie, no jacket , and all the people who before were SUPER nice to me looked at me like an outsider. I'd say "Hi" or give them a casual smile as I walked by and they'd drop their heads or look away. If ANYBODY is currently "In The Truth" and doubt this even a little bit, leave your coat and tie at your chair and walk around the convention and TRY to spark up a casual conversation. Its IMPOSSIBLE! Good work on this video!
Yes...they are very judgmental... When they see someone dressing different from them... Is that behavior coming from Crist?? Of course not.... It comes from WT dress code... I read in the past so many whatchtower magazines about a Cristian woman " Be very modest" on dressing, make up etc the same apples to brothers. I do agyto have a good proper dress code for each occasion.. But is it necessary to became so judgmental because of that ,,??? No. They give excessive importance to those code dressing and grooming.. It's the image that is important for them Exactly imitation of the pharasies... What about pay more care about what's going on inside the various congregations with CSA ?? Isn't this inside issue more important to solve and protect the children Then the dressing code ??? Crist is watching....
He may open your eyes you speak with out knoledge as there’s people follow bible all of it where many people follow there heart and do not look at bible this should be the bible tells the truth not people they lie and twist the scripures to suit them selfs but there s people foll the bible to the letter I respect them for that
No what’s sad is the way u take every thing u hear on utube that’s what is so surprise ing to me find out from the truth first before u judge them they are kind and very knoledge able they know the bible where people just have bad apinion of them shame
+Shannon Wright Why can't they donate anyways look at the Catholics who pay the preacher , Or the Baptist Church's if your going to complain about the JW given money better complain about all religions.
Do you ever think about what is happening look up are website every thing is free we take donations but that in the Kingdom Hall and Also just some random person against you religion that you have any idea who it is and then being like do imatate Jesus
Why is it okay for them to knock on people's doors or bombard the public at large with their questions, etc., but can't answer questions from others????????????
The great news is that so many are being set free especially by internet. Over one million members of the JWs left in 1975 after the failure of their prophecy. . Many are leaving because the JWs when they start reading the word of God instead of watchtower and awake
The gentleman handles this very well, and will be rewarded well in Heaven. Think of all the people in only this setting, who heard his plea. God Bless him.
Bruce, believe me when I tell you that they promote Jehovah god as the ultimate killing machine. By the way, did they speak to you as though you are a child as they did me.
Yup, just follow the rules of 9 imperfect old men, nevermore what the bibles says, don't ask questions, obey these men even though they are not inspired, and you'll be fine......it's quite ridiculous
I guess since they don't know who the real Jesus is, they didn't want answer the question. They are so rude. Well when they come to our doors we can be just as rude to them by shutting the door in their faces. Let them see how they like that.
If you tell them you attend church and then slam the door or continue to be rude to them, they will use this behaviour to prove that they are right and everyone else is wrong.
While I have been disfellowshipped for some time, from what I understand the guidelines on shunning no longer apply to only disfellowshipped members. Witnesses are encouraged to use their own judgement and "mark" any in the congregation that they perceive as bad association. Such "marking" can take place for any justifiable reason. Maybe a brother doesn't spend enough time in the ministry, doesn't prepare for meetings or maybe associates with relatives that are not JW's. ...All valid reasons and perfectly justifiable. JW's are honestly some of the most petty and least loving people you'll find anywhere. When it comes down to it there are only a few things that matter. Field service time and piousness, thats it. Pointing out each others faults and clutching your pearls about minor things that aren't even any of your business are all that witnesses are good for.
Bunch of stuck up, self righteous, judgemental hypocrites who will snitch on you in a heartbeat. Love and friendships aren’t genuine and come with strict conditions.
My hope is that this goes viral, hits all social networks, and major broadcasting networks...not only rude, hurtful to those of us who are being treated by loved ones, as if we are dead. Nine minutes of shunning by over 50? Why witnesses, why?
I always remember some God botherers came round my grand parents house and knocked on the door. My grandad let them in sat them down let them talk their shit for 10 or so minutes then started to preach his beliefs to them for the next 2 hours. Never seen people squirm like that before, they didnt know what to do, it was great.
You didn't know anything about your religion because they never told you anything about anything. It was all just made-up nonsense. Never underestimate the power of delusion.
This video is such a slap of reality, I really feel bad for the interviewer on this video. You can easily see he approches these (Christian...?) people with such kindness and in an very unobtrusive manner directing a simple enough question that anyone who truly loved God would certainly not be opposed nor hesitate to answer. The question: "Do you immitate Jesus"?" Yet, there he is on video asking this question and being treated as such an outcast, shunned and basically pushed aside. It shows these JW's in their true light and they make it so painstakingly apparent. Notice they have just come out of a building from an entire day of worshipping God??? Yet still, what most Christian's would assume as being in thier own environment, there they are all being very callous, disrespectfully rude, and downright hateful, choosing to ignore his question altogether in regards to their own creator. This truly is a glimpse of their true identity as a JW. and it's far from what they try to shadow themselves as being when they come to your door or speak about their "J e h o v a h." What a crock of crap! 👎👎
Awesome video. You did an excellent job! One of the best videos ever to drive home the point that the Watchtower is NOT a Christian religion. I can't think of another religious event on the planet where people would not treat a stranger so unkindly. Now imagine having your mother or your father or your children treating you like that for the rest of your life. JW's certainly don't imitate Jesus at all. The 2015 Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses is a perfect example of Watchtower hypocrisy.
Unacceptable! What this video shows are the results of people who have been up since o'dark thirty getting kids dressed, gas in the car, breakfast and lunch made and packed, bring correct WT material for the day all before they leave the house to hurry up and drive a distance of up to 50 miles to wait in line for entry for up to an hour or more. Only to have to run...errr walk quickly to their seats. (not to include if someone in the family has a morning assignment). ALL in preparation for their convention. Throw into account all the effort made during the work week to put their lives on hold for three consecutive days. They're weighed down from the anxiety (and exhausted) before the WT event starts. They lack the energy and effort to stop and cordially acknowledge someone because of this. They can't give what they don't have during their events.....Love. There's a reason why every year the KM has to remind the sheeple not to save seats, not take food from the hotels, not to run to their seat(s) when the doors open. I feel sorry for these people. And to think I used to be one of them. Freedom from the WitchTower!
This video is a perfect example of what they are like when they are at your door smiling and trying to talk you. It's always on their terms and this is why I don't like when people say but they are all so nice.
Many religion preach shunning of different degree. But they are shunned, they claim to be persecuted. Imagine if a government sign says "no JW allowed" or a store say "no JW allowed inside", etc. The world will hear they scream the loudest. I had this argument with a JW friend (are we really friends or does he tolerate me cus I was his university supervisor). If I was his boss, and I got disfellowshipped, will he quit his job to avoid having to deal with me? His answer shocked me. He said he will keep his job and keep everything on official basis. No social activities with me. Then I asked another question with him being the boss and I his staff (say personal assistant). He didn't want to answer the question directly. He said he will do anything possible to dissociate with me. I asked does that include firing me? He still didn't want to answer Yes or No. Till today, he's not answered that question. Will you fire your disfellowshipped subordinate/employee knowing fully well that his family (who are also expected to shun him) depend fully on him? Will you make donations for the family if you fire the man and expect the family to shunn him? These people don't have all the answers as they claim.
For those who were following the KiKi YuYu thread, I'm sorry it took so long to BAN this individual. When vomit comes from the mouth of the reprobate they will be banned. I've permitted almost all comments on all my videos but those who go to great extreme to blaspheme God will not be tolerated. God help him. jerry
+preto shohmoofc guy That is clearly the most foolish thing I have ever heard. These people(JWs, whatever the hell that means?) There is no "jehovah", this name is a made up name given to our Father which is in heaven, we will call upon His name when the pure language is restored. 9 Surely then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord to serve him [h]with one consent. This has NOT happened yet, if you believe it has as many JWs believe than we are already living in the 1000 reign according to your teachings, if you read verse 8 and previous verses. As many false religions do, they will pluck one verse out and twist it to their likings, causing many to go down a wicked path. 8 Therefore [f]wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for I am determined to gather the nations, and that I will assemble the kingdoms to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce wrath: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. These people are straight up ignoring this man, not very Christ like at all. We are all one in Christ. No member is greater than the others. If this man supposedly has an evil spirit that these people can see, why would no one help him? Not Christ like at all! Salvation is not in a building/cult, you do not have to be a member of something here on this earth in order to serve the one and only True, True God the Father, the creator of the seventh day Sabbath, the same one this cult ignores, just as almost the entire world does. Come out of her. Peace
trent lange It was a joke eh.. As for your language thing, if the New Testament authors cared if you spoke the original language, then they wouldn't have written it in Greek.
preto shohmoofc guy "As for your language thing, if the New Testament authors cared if you spoke the original language, then they wouldn't have written it in Greek. " This has nothing to do with what I was talking about. Peace and have a great Sabbath!
preto shohmoofc guy A pure language is what I spoke of, but this has not happened yet, if you read the Scriptures (KJV/Geneva, none other Bible versions, all others are inaccurate) you will find this is impossible to have already occurred. See Zephaniah 3 You are free to do what you will on God's Holy Sabbath day, now on the other hand.. If you wish to do as God has commanded us all, you would attempt to keep it holy, not trample upon it, as scripture teaches us. And to know that Christ taught us that the Sabbath was made for us all! Not just the jews, nor is Christ our Sabbath now, nor anything else contrary to wholesome doctrine. And I understand that these pagan cults of this world have taught many otherwise regarding God's ten commandments, but all one has to do is learn whom the remnant are, and study the Seal of God all throughout the Bible. If you need any help with this brother, I would be more than willing to show you all of the scriptures that lead to this. I would suggest a starting point of Revelation. Peace
why should he be banned...Jesus would have answered him and so would his disciples. This was a great opportunity to WITNESS...isnt that what Jehovah's WITNESSES are supposed to do, thus the name.
That is exactly what I was thinking! Why not witness to this lost Christian and tell him the "truth" that they are the only true religion on Earth! Perfect opportunity. Get him baptized right there and devout his life to the Governing Body/Fateful Discreet Slave so he can have a great house after Armageddon.
I heard it’s very cold. The many years that people are JW’s lose practically everything. No friends. Nothing. You’re erased out of existence. That’s what I heard from a JW herself. 😔
WT tells the rank and file: Don't imitate the world.. Because the scriptures tell Cristians Not to do so.... But that frase means ; Don't imitate the world when fallow bad exemples such: Don't do drugs Don't steel Don't lied Don't kill etc etc Means in general don't do bad things. But The Bible doesn't tell Cristians to IGNORE people. WT is the one that expanded those behaviors... That is not Crist legacy.
This is a perfect example of how we should respond to Jehovah's Witnesses with absolute ignorance, the people !! These we shall bear in their paradise ... then I would rather live in hell with a right to put questions and have your own opinion, just as Adam and Eve were brought the truth when the ate the "Apple"
I can tell you they don't imitate Jesus because my brother is a witness and he not only yelled at me, but got upset when I told him I was ready to give my life to Jesus and be baptized. He said I needed basic knowledge of the bible to do this and then he ask me do you know when the end is, I replied no one knows the day or hour only God himself and he told me I was wrong. He also wanted nothing to do with me after that and called me an apostate.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses have no exclusive "channel of communication" with God. Our God and Father desires to fellowship and communicate with his children through His son Jesus Christ, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The God of the Bible has not limited Himself to speaking only through the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society’s publications and leadership.
What I find totally sad about this video is that if the JWs knocked on your door and you ignored them they would tell other jws that they were being persecuted.
Embarrassing!! This video demonstrates the overwhelming paranoia which is instilled into J.W.'s. And yet J.W.'s moan to each other if THEY are treated disdainfully by a householder! Not "following the Christ's" example, is it?
PERSECUTION COMPLEX The Witnesses complain that they are persecuted for their religious beliefs, quite inconsistently with their denial that their system constitutes a religion. But in any case their complaint is unjustified. Small sects get into trouble only when their practices transgress common decency. If the Witnesses are constantly running afoul of their communities, it is because they themselves make vile and insulting onslaughts on the religion of others, and delight in utterances of the most outrageous civic disloyalty.
c rhynehardt with respect" are you sure what are you talking about?? I had a same view before I did not learn holy scriptures by myself and found that there is nobody in this world perfect,, but if I compare witnesses as a group with other religions group there is a big different,, for allmighty god and love god as john 3:16 says is important kind people and qualities. so witnesses are more humbles then others, and more better qualities they show.. that is why I love most JW people. but I respect your idea you can have your thougts about them. but do not mislade other people please...
They dont say anything because they kno hes there just to bash on their religion and while jesus was being persecuted he did not say negative things to them he just carried on its exactly what theyre doing.
Adrianna Mendez You clearly never read the Bible... I don’t know which Jesus you believe in but the God I know preached against sin and was quite firm in many occasions
Are JW's psychics? How did they know he was there to 'bash' them? And even if that became evident later, didn't Jesus say 'love your enemies'? The man was very respectful and polite. This is not persecution. They could have at least said 'hi how are you' and moved on.
I think most people would ignore condescending questions from someone holding a mic in front of a camera interrupting them while they walk with their families, especially when they know that they are being scrutinized. You should go into a mall and try the same thing and see what results you get. I promise you it will be a less pleasant experience. I don't agree with their practices either but there are far better ways to state your case than to ambush people with a camera. This is your right to freedom of speech but don't act like you have a valid "GOTCHA!" piece here.
This is not like going to the mall. One of the reasons JW's go to conventions is to learn how to convert people to their religion before 'Armageddon' wipes out everyone except JW's. This was the perfect opportunity for JW's to save a lost soul. Instead they made their organization look bad and showed their true colors.
How wonderful it is to see a fellow brother teach Gods truth! It would be worth all this work Even if only one person leaves the JW “church” and come to know the real God, the real Jesus who is God
For all those who criticized the Jehovah's Witnesses, I pray for you. your knowledge of real thing is like jam, the less you have, the more it is spread
They are not doing anything wrong. He's gone there with an agenda. Jehovah’s Witnesses when they're in the ministry, they do not force themselves where they are not wanted. They move on. This guy is being persistent in his agenda. Think of it, Jesus never bothered with those who were not interested. Why does he persist?
The Watchtower Society is the dedicated religious impostor who only has one thing in mind: Execute the order to separate as many people as possible from Jesus, to alienate them for life and to subject them to demons, which bring them at the end to the court that the devil himself so fervently wishes for the people. "The Watchtower Society is an organization of human destruction, a plaintiff, judge and executioner in one person. It is the most pious church that Satan has ever devised."
+mrk107 The best way to hide a lie, Mrk, is to wrap it in a blanket of truth. It's kind of like fishing, where the hook is hidden by bait, but it is there none the less. I'll be the first to admit the Witnesses have SOME truth, but as Paul Told timothy, they are proving "false to its power" (2 Tim. 3:5). Can you imagine first century Christians acting like we see in the video in the same setting? No! They would been all over that guy and given him the Gospel! Witnesses, as the video gives ample evidence of, are filled with fear, fear of what? It doesn't really matter because the true Christian is supposed to be filled with the kind of love which supersedes fear (1 John 4:16-18). So what we see here is that in spite of having some truth, it just doesn't cut the mustard in their case.
+mrk107 Read the verse you cited, and then explain where in it are specific instructions to go door to door. There aren't. Going door to door isn't even a sign that one is a Christian to begin with. so why the Watchtower keeps claiming it is the foremost sign amazes me. What the passage you did cite commands is to go forth to the nations and make disciples and teach them to observe the things Jesus taught. There are many way to do that, going door to door is one of the least productive of those methods. I'm disabled physically and unable, so I use other methods which come to hand. So I do stand with a clean conscience in the matter before Jehovah, the great and wonderful God who epitomizes love, and requires it of us in our ministry as well. I stand by my words, Mrk, the Witnesses are misled. They've been led to believe that billions have already gone, and billions more will go, into the second death without even a fair trial at the flood and at Armageddon. They've been led to believe that Israel is permanently from God's favor despite both biblical and historical evidence to the contrary. That was one thing Russell didn't back down on, the fact that Israel was restored to God's favor and that 1914 paved the way for their return as both a people and a nation. I know the man who post this would likely disagree with you and I on what is truth, the Arianism, the soul sleep, I could go on in that vain. But why belabor the point and shove our common beliefs in our host's face? My point is that the Watchtower switched from a journal proclaiming God's love and plan for mankind to a theology which is every bit as much a theology of fear as the hell-fire doctrine of the majority of Christendom. Given that theology of fear, and fear of man, the elders, is it any wonder we have to spectacle we see in the video? The Gospel is liberating, not fear inducing. Think about it, Jesus was sent down to earth to save every human from Adamic death so they could learn the Gospel and all have the chance they never had in this world to accept and live for God (1 Tim. 2:4-6), which the NWT mistranslated where it uses the phrase "all sorts of." What there is now is the law of love, love for God, neighbor, and our brothers and sisters. The apostle John tells us there is no fear in love (1 John 4:18). Think about it dear friend. Real Christians would've had absolutely no fear of speaking to that man and sharing the Gospel with him.
+c rhynehardt You say >"It is the most pious church that Satan has ever devised" That is because Satan knows that the JW's have the truth/true religion, and Satan knows all other religions will be destroyed during the first part of the Great Tribulation. Then at Armageddon Satan and his angels will be locked up for a thousand years.
I am not a witness but my mother was one and I attended a few meetings. I know they are extremely loyal within the organization amongst themselves. If you are not presently a witness(such as the man here) you are either a potential witness (accepting a book study or attending meetings) or doomed to be destroyed in armageddon, not part of the "narrow" but rather the "broad and spacious" ones in line for destruction. It's pretty much black and white. This guy was ignored because the witnesses would consider him to not have any information that would align with what they are studying in the congregations or what they recently learned at the convention. Plus there's that marter-like sense of being persecuted when confronted by a non-believer. I feel they should have at least talked with him briefly just as Jesus spoke with many. If they are that strong in their faith and learned in scripture they should be able to have an intelligent conversation with another fellow human being similar to having a conversation while out on field service. I could go on and on but I'll stop here and let others respond. Sorry for any typos and have a nice day.
The Bible tells us that at the Great Throne Judgement there will be those who will say "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name?" Matthew 7:22. "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity." Matthew 7:23. This points straight at the Jehovah's Witnesses. It fits them perfectly.
The Watchtower Society used to say that you do not need an organization. Now they teach that if you leave the organization you are doomed. This is not a biblical teaching - it is a man-made doctrine. The Bible does not change. Beware of "organization." It is wholly unnecessary. The Bible rules will be the only rules you will need. Do not seek to bind others' consciences, and do not permit others to bind yours. Believe and obey so far as you can understand God's Word today. (Watchtower Sept. 15, 1895, p. 216)
This would be like me quoting how slave owners would keep blacks enslaved in slavery through misinterpreted bible quotes. Do they still do that? NO! So get your head out of the past...
+Chantal Lewis You need to bear in mind Chantal that Watchtower has only been around for just over 100 years and during that time they have made many false prophecies but apart from that if it were not for those whom they have judged and condemened (have you seen the much earlier literature) they would have had no bible to cherry pick and alter and build their organisation up with. What im saying is Look these wolves in shheps clothing have appeared in later times and have cashed in on the work of true christian labourerers (the bible and the christian faith was already here!) watchtower who have taught lies and made false prophesies have built up the numbers in their congregation by prozeltyzing which they still do to this day, Like i say Chantel do your research Have a nice day
I am not JW but if I had to go thru all that mental torture of realizing I had been duped and the terrible fear but finally managed to set myself free then I would appreciate being shunned and to never have them haunt me again.
@@melaniebrueggemann5637 I would think that someone who decides to escape realizes that comes with the territory. It seems this organization having control of one's family it tantamount to holding people hostage.
@@edwinholcombe2741 Interesting choice of words. Certainly didn't feel like an "escape" or "decision" to me. But it may be different for everybody? When all of your family and friends are JW, there is nothing that you fear more than leaving the JW. Once I realized that it was not the truth and my conscience forced me to leave, ... it did not feel like an escape at all. More like falling endlessly and irreversibly, for a very prolonged time, without any option to control the situation. And I absolutely do feel very connected to the family members that I can no longer meet because of the cult. It is not their fault.
This is NOT video about "shunning". That term refers to the practise called "disfellowshipping". This guy is approaching people and putting a microphone in their faces. They have no obligation to talk to him. He doesn't even look like he is a member of the press, so he is a private citizen with an agenda. He is free to do it but they are not "shunning". I wouldn't stop to talk to him either.
Peter Gwynn Please don’t be ignorant. Disfellowshipping is a euphemism for shunning in Jehovah Witness culture. I do agree that they have no obligation to speak to him because he is obviously trying to provoke the witnesses. However, the shunning practice is a real thing. Disfellowshipping in other denominations simply means spiritual separation. For the witnesses, physical as well as spiritual separation is considered. Physical separation is literally shunning.
@Mark Orman. They were probably told during the convention but JW's assume that everyone who has anything negative to say about them is a former JW. i.e. apostate. Since it's a secret organization, only insiders would know enough to criticize them. Obviously this man didn't have a name tag and he was wondering around asking 'Do you imitate Jesus'? JW's would never do that at their conventions. They assumed he must be an apostate looking to 'shake their faith' in Jehovah. This is the way they've been treating apostates since 1952. It's a way of life and normal, 'loving' behavior. If they don't talk to you, they presume you will be so depressed, it will pressure you to 'return to Jehovah'. And since they believe God will save only JW's, shunning is a loving thing to do. They don't consider how many resort to alcohol, drugs, and suicide to numb the pain. They treat apostates as if they are dead because they believe Jehovah and 'His organization' (JWORG) is the only path. They don't believe Jesus is the only path, only hope, only God, and only faith they need to have eternal life. They believe Jesus is the angel Michael, created by Jehovah, to do Jehovah's will, even though the Bible makes it clear Jesus is God and should be worshipped. Philippians 2:10.
@@billborden310 Thank you so much, Bill. Now that makes it clear to me. My uncle was a JW, so was my massage therapist. Seems like the elders are their gods.

Christian: Do you imitate Jesus?
JW: We imitate whatever the Governing Body tells us to imitate... and when, where, how and even how to relieve ourselves if it comes to that.
check out my Street preaching videos at a recent jw convention and you can see Who they really imitate... Pharisees!!!
In actuality Jehovah witnesses are a work in process none of us can get that close to imitate Jesus because Jesus was Perfect.
Hmmm. Let's see, " prove you're not just doing what THEY TELL YOU to do, even if it's what you want to do, by doing what I /WE want you to do, even if you don't want to. Seems a bit hypocritical.
Yes. As far as "relieving ourselves" it HAS come to that for many JWs. At one talk, the brother talked about how some JWs were in a cesspool and the elder there had everyone hold their pee and poo until they couldn't absolutely hold it any longer. This was very moving for us in the audience. And let's not talk about field service. If door to door, we KNOW we hold it if we have to go.
You are a practicing liar
clearly they DO NOT imitate Jesus.
+mrk107
show me where it says go door to door and make disciples?
is it only j.w own teaching?
i evangelize not by words but actions.
Jesus commissioned His followers to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything He had commanded Matthew 28:19-20;
Mark 16:15
j.w don't even believe in trinity it's a cult.
@Martin Isho. Acts 20:20 (King James Bible) And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,Matthew 24:14 (King James Bible) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.Both are commands. If you're a follower of Jesus, you will DO AS TOLD.
Ma Ru you know that jehova witness are a cult & hypocrites, you are brainwashed and cold.
mrk107 this man just proved you wrong!!! Yet you want people to listen to you when you invade their privacy and know at their door just to preach them lies. All in the name of the watchtower, not Jesus.
They SUCK! Def not a true Christian group. Not at all!
They do not like people asking questions.However, they want you to listen to them but they do not want to listen to others.
mom2huskies Exactly. JW come to your door and they want to for you to listen to them but won't listen to you. No thank you.

Jesus Christ is not who you think he is he will destroy you disobedient people
So hard to believe. I was a Witness for 3 years and I was eventually shunned and disfellowshipped for simply "yoking with unbelievers", as they call it. All the world needs is the love Christ showed, and everyone and everything will simply be a better place of genuine love.
I did it for 7 years and married one. I did drugs and instead of getting love and help I was ignored by all my friends I made. I let go of all my worldly friends and lost all contact with them. So all my jw friends shunned me and it helped me how? The religion is not loving at all

This demonstrates the complete and utter mind control of the cults.
This is exactly the scenario played out the world over to those who ask questions about the organisation. I was shunned as a bible student because I asked at a home group about the WT membership of the UN and questioned the validity of the NWT in view of Johannes Greber's interpretation used at John 1:1 who received this interpretation from his wife's spirit guide...she was a medium !
This group is led not by God's hand but by the hand portrayed in their "revelation" book pg 52 !!
So our obedience to Jehovah
Is not counted by you as such but as brainwashing the only one trying to brainwash others
is you
THIS IS GREAT! My wife got me to go to three of these conventions. The first two people were VERY VERY nice to me. (I think its called "Love bombing" when they know you OR someone in their group) Then this last day of the convention I just wore a nice shirt, no tie, no jacket , and all the people who before were SUPER nice to me looked at me like an outsider. I'd say "Hi" or give them a casual smile as I walked by and they'd drop their heads or look away.
If ANYBODY is currently "In The Truth" and doubt this even a little bit, leave your coat and tie at your chair and walk around the convention and TRY to spark up a casual conversation. Its IMPOSSIBLE!
Good work on this video!
Yes...they are very judgmental...
When they see someone dressing different from them...
Is that behavior coming from Crist??
Of course not....
It comes from WT dress code...
I read in the past so many whatchtower magazines about a Cristian woman
" Be very modest" on dressing, make up etc the same apples to brothers.
I do agyto have a good proper dress code for each occasion..
But is it necessary to became so judgmental because of that ,,???
No.
They give excessive importance to those code dressing and grooming..
It's the image that is important for them
Exactly imitation of the pharasies...
What about pay more care about what's going on inside the various congregations with CSA ??
Isn't this inside issue more important to solve and protect the children
Then the dressing code ???
Crist is watching....

If you follow the rules, there's nothing to worry about. I've been a witness for 45 years. I have no complaints.

If you tell them you attend church and then slam the door or continue to be rude to them, they will use this behaviour to prove that they are right and everyone else is wrong.
I can tell the governing body has pulled a couple pages out of Kim Jong Un's play book.
Look at that cult mindset at work, wow!
While I have been disfellowshipped for some time, from what I understand the guidelines on shunning no longer apply to only disfellowshipped members. Witnesses are encouraged to use their own judgement and "mark" any in the congregation that they perceive as bad association. Such "marking" can take place for any justifiable reason. Maybe a brother doesn't spend enough time in the ministry, doesn't prepare for meetings or maybe associates with relatives that are not JW's. ...All valid reasons and perfectly justifiable. JW's are honestly some of the most petty and least loving people you'll find anywhere. When it comes down to it there are only a few things that matter. Field service time and piousness, thats it. Pointing out each others faults and clutching your pearls about minor things that aren't even any of your business are all that witnesses are good for.
Bunch of stuck up, self righteous, judgemental hypocrites who will snitch on you in a heartbeat. Love and friendships aren’t genuine and come with strict conditions.

I went to one convention it was massive and very long with very few smiles.
I would go through all the motions, join the cult, and document everything, and try to become and elder just to lead people astray. Lol.
This video is such a slap of reality, I really feel bad for the interviewer on this video. You can easily see he approches these (Christian...?) people with such kindness and in an very unobtrusive manner directing a simple enough question that anyone who truly loved God would certainly not be opposed nor hesitate to answer.
The question:
"Do you immitate Jesus"?"
Yet, there he is on video asking this question and being treated as such an outcast, shunned and basically pushed aside. It shows these JW's in their true light and they make it so painstakingly apparent. Notice they have just come out of a building from an entire day of worshipping God??? Yet still, what most Christian's would assume as being in thier own environment, there they are all being very callous, disrespectfully rude, and downright hateful, choosing to ignore his question altogether in regards to their own creator. This truly is a glimpse of their true identity as a JW. and it's far from what they try to shadow themselves as being when they come to your door or speak about their "J e h o v a h."
What a crock of crap! 👎👎
Awesome video. You did an excellent job! One of the best videos ever to drive home the point that the Watchtower is NOT a Christian religion. I can't think of another religious event on the planet where people would not treat a stranger so unkindly. Now imagine having your mother or your father or your children treating you like that for the rest of your life. JW's certainly don't imitate Jesus at all. The 2015 Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses is a perfect example of Watchtower hypocrisy.
Jesus might have given a short answer but I don't remember him ignoring people.
next to a jehovia witness rings my bell I am going to tell him I use to be a jehovia witness and then start questioning him
Ask them why they protect pedophiles in their religion 😐
Jesus loves you and he is Almighty God. Even Russell admitted it
Unacceptable!
What this video shows are the results of people who have been up since o'dark thirty getting kids dressed, gas in the car, breakfast and lunch made and packed, bring correct WT material for the day all before they leave the house to hurry up and drive a distance of up to 50 miles to wait in line for entry for up to an hour or more. Only to have to run...errr walk quickly to their seats. (not to include if someone in the family has a morning assignment). ALL in preparation for their convention. Throw into account all the effort made during the work week to put their lives on hold for three consecutive days.
They're weighed down from the anxiety (and exhausted) before the WT event starts. They lack the energy and effort to stop and cordially acknowledge someone because of this. They can't give what they don't have during their events.....Love.
There's a reason why every year the KM has to remind the sheeple not to save seats, not take food from the hotels, not to run to their seat(s) when the doors open.
I feel sorry for these people.
And to think I used to be one of them.

Many religion preach shunning of different degree. But they are shunned, they claim to be persecuted. Imagine if a government sign says "no JW allowed" or a store say "no JW allowed inside", etc. The world will hear they scream the loudest.
I had this argument with a JW friend (are we really friends or does he tolerate me cus I was his university supervisor). If I was his boss, and I got disfellowshipped, will he quit his job to avoid having to deal with me? His answer shocked me. He said he will keep his job and keep everything on official basis. No social activities with me. Then I asked another question with him being the boss and I his staff (say personal assistant). He didn't want to answer the question directly. He said he will do anything possible to dissociate with me. I asked does that include firing me? He still didn't want to answer Yes or No. Till today, he's not answered that question. Will you fire your disfellowshipped subordinate/employee knowing fully well that his family (who are also expected to shun him) depend fully on him? Will you make donations for the family if you fire the man and expect the family to shunn him? These people don't have all the answers as they claim.

9 Surely then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord to serve him [h]with one consent.
This has NOT happened yet, if you believe it has as many JWs believe than we are already living in the 1000 reign according to your teachings, if you read verse 8 and previous verses. As many false religions do, they will pluck one verse out and twist it to their likings, causing many to go down a wicked path.
8 Therefore [f]wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for I am determined to gather the nations, and that I will assemble the kingdoms to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce wrath: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

You are free to do what you will on God's Holy Sabbath day, now on the other hand.. If you wish to do as God has commanded us all, you would attempt to keep it holy, not trample upon it, as scripture teaches us.
And to know that Christ taught us that the Sabbath was made for us all! Not just the jews, nor is Christ our Sabbath now, nor anything else contrary to wholesome doctrine.
And I understand that these pagan cults of this world have taught many otherwise regarding God's ten commandments, but all one has to do is learn whom the remnant are, and study the Seal of God all throughout the Bible.

I can tell you they don't imitate Jesus because my brother is a witness and he not only yelled at me, but got upset when I told him I was ready to give my life to Jesus and be baptized. He said I needed basic knowledge of the bible to do this and then he ask me do you know when the end is, I replied no one knows the day or hour only God himself and he told me I was wrong. He also wanted nothing to do with me after that and called me an apostate.
Very sad. Sorry for your loss. Pray for your brother and all JW's. They know not what they're doing.
And thank Jehovah for having a mind of your own and not that of the brooklyn boys!
The Jehovah’s Witnesses have no exclusive "channel of communication" with God.
Our God and Father desires to fellowship and communicate with his children through His son Jesus Christ, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The God of the Bible has not limited Himself to speaking only through the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society’s publications and leadership.

What I find totally sad about this video is that if the JWs knocked on your door and you ignored them they would tell other jws that they were being persecuted.
Embarrassing!!
This video demonstrates the overwhelming paranoia which is instilled into J.W.'s.
And yet J.W.'s moan to each other if THEY are treated disdainfully by a householder!
Not "following the Christ's" example, is it?
PERSECUTION COMPLEX
The Witnesses complain that they are persecuted for their religious beliefs, quite inconsistently with their denial that their system constitutes a religion. But in any case their complaint is unjustified. Small sects get into trouble only when their practices transgress common decency. If the Witnesses are constantly running afoul of their communities, it is because they themselves make vile and insulting onslaughts on the religion of others, and delight in utterances of the most outrageous civic disloyalty.
c rhynehardt with respect" are you sure what are you talking about?? I had a same view before I did not learn holy scriptures by myself and found that there is nobody in this world perfect,, but if I compare witnesses as a group with other religions group there is a big different,, for allmighty god and love god as john 3:16 says is important kind people and qualities. so witnesses are more humbles then others, and more better qualities they show.. that is why I love most JW people. but I respect your idea you can have your thougts about them. but do not mislade other people please...
We are made righteous by what Jesus did for us ,not because of ourselves!
To be fair how can you expect them to imitate someone they never knew?
🎯
They dont say anything because they kno hes there just to bash on their religion and while jesus was being persecuted he did not say negative things to them he just carried on its exactly what theyre doing.
Adrianna Mendez You clearly never read the Bible... I don’t know which Jesus you believe in but the God I know preached against sin and was quite firm in many occasions
Are JW's psychics? How did they know he was there to 'bash' them? And even if that became evident later, didn't Jesus say 'love your enemies'? The man was very respectful and polite. This is not persecution. They could have at least said 'hi how are you' and moved on.
I think most people would ignore condescending questions from someone holding a mic in front of a camera interrupting them while they walk with their families, especially when they know that they are being scrutinized. You should go into a mall and try the same thing and see what results you get. I promise you it will be a less pleasant experience.
I don't agree with their practices either but there are far better ways to state your case than to ambush people with a camera. This is your right to freedom of speech but don't act like you have a valid "GOTCHA!" piece here.
This is not like going to the mall. One of the reasons JW's go to conventions is to learn how to convert people to their religion before 'Armageddon' wipes out everyone except JW's. This was the perfect opportunity for JW's to save a lost soul. Instead they made their organization look bad and showed their true colors.

They're not shunning him. They are ignoring a pathetic man with a camera.

How wonderful it is to see a fellow brother teach Gods truth! It would be worth all this work Even if only one person leaves the JW “church” and come to know the real God, the real Jesus who is God
Try procuring one of those lapel badges next time, then you might be able to fool them into talking with you.
Just a suggestion.
For all those who criticized the Jehovah's Witnesses, I pray for you. your knowledge of real thing is like jam, the less you have, the more it is spread
+tenderness4you Evil has to be fought. Any way one can- Evil has to be fought. That means the watchtower has to be fought- EVIL
Bro that indoctrination is deeeeeep
Google Street preaching JW Convention Duluth GA 2016
see how jw elders act and respond when preaching JESUS IS GOD! mind control at its finest!
They are not doing anything wrong. He's gone there with an agenda. Jehovah’s Witnesses when they're in the ministry, they do not force themselves where they are not wanted. They move on. This guy is being persistent in his agenda. Think of it, Jesus never bothered with those who were not interested. Why does he persist?
Bingo
They don't believe in Jesus....
Thats why they don't have nothing to say.
If he'd sat down crying saying there'd been a death in his family, they'd be all over him like a rash.
No Jesus will stop and talk to you
I’m not seeing Jesus at. Where he at 👀 ?
The Watchtower Society is the dedicated religious impostor who only has one thing in mind: Execute the order to separate as many people as possible from Jesus, to alienate them for life and to subject them to demons, which bring them at the end to the court that the devil himself so fervently wishes for the people.
"The Watchtower Society is an organization of human destruction, a plaintiff, judge and executioner in one person. It is the most pious church that Satan has ever devised."

+mrk107 The best way to hide a lie, Mrk, is to wrap it in a blanket of truth. It's kind of like fishing, where the hook is hidden by bait, but it is there none the less. I'll be the first to admit the Witnesses have SOME truth, but as Paul Told timothy, they are proving "false to its power" (2 Tim. 3:5). Can you imagine first century Christians acting like we see in the video in the same setting? No! They would been all over that guy and given him the Gospel! Witnesses, as the video gives ample evidence of, are filled with fear, fear of what? It doesn't really matter because the true Christian is supposed to be filled with the kind of love which supersedes fear (1 John 4:16-18). So what we see here is that in spite of having some truth, it just doesn't cut the mustard in their case.
+mrk107 Read the verse you cited, and then explain where in it are specific instructions to go door to door. There aren't. Going door to door isn't even a sign that one is a Christian to begin with. so why the Watchtower keeps claiming it is the foremost sign amazes me.
What the passage you did cite commands is to go forth to the nations and make disciples and teach them to observe the things Jesus taught. There are many way to do that, going door to door is one of the least productive of those methods. I'm disabled physically and unable, so I use other methods which come to hand. So I do stand with a clean conscience in the matter before Jehovah, the great and wonderful God who epitomizes love, and requires it of us in our ministry as well.
I stand by my words, Mrk, the Witnesses are misled. They've been led to believe that billions have already gone, and billions more will go, into the second death without even a fair trial at the flood and at Armageddon. They've been led to believe that Israel is permanently from God's favor despite both biblical and historical evidence to the contrary. That was one thing Russell didn't back down on, the fact that Israel was restored to God's favor and that 1914 paved the way for their return as both a people and a nation.
I know the man who post this would likely disagree with you and I on what is truth, the Arianism, the soul sleep, I could go on in that vain. But why belabor the point and shove our common beliefs in our host's face? My point is that the Watchtower switched from a journal proclaiming God's love and plan for mankind to a theology which is every bit as much a theology of fear as the hell-fire doctrine of the majority of Christendom.
Given that theology of fear, and fear of man, the elders, is it any wonder we have to spectacle we see in the video? The Gospel is liberating, not fear inducing. Think about it, Jesus was sent down to earth to save every human from Adamic death so they could learn the Gospel and all have the chance they never had in this world to accept and live for God (1 Tim. 2:4-6), which the NWT mistranslated where it uses the phrase "all sorts of." What there is now is the law of love, love for God, neighbor, and our brothers and sisters. The apostle John tells us there is no fear in love (1 John 4:18). Think about it dear friend. Real Christians would've had absolutely no fear of speaking to that man and sharing the Gospel with him.
Ur so right sis. May God forgive them.
+c rhynehardt You say >"It is the most pious church that Satan has ever devised" That is because Satan knows that the JW's have the truth/true religion, and Satan knows all other religions will be destroyed during the first part of the Great Tribulation. Then at Armageddon Satan and his angels will be locked up for a thousand years.
I am not a witness but my mother was one and I attended a few meetings. I know they are extremely loyal within the organization amongst themselves. If you are not presently a witness(such as the man here) you are either a potential witness (accepting a book study or attending meetings) or doomed to be destroyed in armageddon, not part of the "narrow" but rather the "broad and spacious" ones in line for destruction. It's pretty much black and white.
This guy was ignored because the witnesses would consider him to not have any information that would align with what they are studying in the congregations or what they recently learned at the convention. Plus there's that marter-like sense of being persecuted when confronted by a non-believer.
I feel they should have at least talked with him briefly just as Jesus spoke with many. If they are that strong in their faith and learned in scripture they should be able to have an intelligent conversation with another fellow human being similar to having a conversation while out on field service. I could go on and on but I'll stop here and let others respond. Sorry for any typos and have a nice day.
haha you made yourselve invisible ..true magician
The Bible tells us that at the Great Throne Judgement there will be those who will say "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name?" Matthew 7:22. "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity." Matthew 7:23. This points straight at the Jehovah's Witnesses. It fits them perfectly.
The Watchtower Society used to say that you do not need an organization. Now they teach that if you leave the organization you are doomed. This is not a biblical teaching - it is a man-made doctrine. The Bible does not change.
Beware of "organization." It is wholly unnecessary. The Bible rules will be the only rules you will need. Do not seek to bind others' consciences, and do not permit others to bind yours. Believe and obey so far as you can understand God's Word today. (Watchtower Sept. 15, 1895, p. 216)
Why are quoting from so long ago. Do we live in 1895???? Lol quite something from THIS century please.
This would be like me quoting how slave owners would keep blacks enslaved in slavery through misinterpreted bible quotes. Do they still do that? NO! So get your head out of the past...
true that, amen!
+Chantal Lewis You need to bear in mind Chantal that Watchtower has only been around for just over 100 years and during that time they have made many false prophecies but apart from that if it were not for those whom they have judged and condemened (have you seen the much earlier literature) they would have had no bible to cherry pick and alter and build their organisation up with. What im saying is Look these wolves in shheps clothing have appeared in later times and have cashed in on the work of true christian labourerers (the bible and the christian faith was already here!) watchtower who have taught lies and made false prophesies have built up the numbers in their congregation by prozeltyzing which they still do to this day, Like i say Chantel do your research Have a nice day
+Chantal Lewis Chantel are you aware of a man called Johannes Greber??????? bet you dont??? you should google that to see what its all about
I am not JW but if I had to go thru all that mental torture of realizing I had been duped and the terrible fear but finally managed to set myself free then I would appreciate being shunned and to never have them haunt me again.
You forget the fact that you wouldn't have anybody else to turn to either (since you are not supposed to have any friendships with non-witnesses).
@@melaniebrueggemann5637 I would think that someone who decides to escape realizes that comes with the territory. It seems this organization having control of one's family it tantamount to holding people hostage.
@@edwinholcombe2741 Interesting choice of words. Certainly didn't feel like an "escape" or "decision" to me. But it may be different for everybody? When all of your family and friends are JW, there is nothing that you fear more than leaving the JW. Once I realized that it was not the truth and my conscience forced me to leave, ... it did not feel like an escape at all. More like falling endlessly and irreversibly, for a very prolonged time, without any option to control the situation. And I absolutely do feel very connected to the family members that I can no longer meet because of the cult. It is not their fault.
This is NOT video about "shunning". That term refers to the practise called "disfellowshipping".
This guy is approaching people and putting a microphone in their faces. They have no obligation to talk to him. He doesn't even look like he is a member of the press, so he is a private citizen with an agenda. He is free to do it but they are not "shunning".
I wouldn't stop to talk to him either.
Peter Gwynn Please don’t be ignorant. Disfellowshipping is a euphemism for shunning in Jehovah Witness culture. I do agree that they have no obligation to speak to him because he is obviously trying to provoke the witnesses. However, the shunning practice is a real thing. Disfellowshipping in other denominations simply means spiritual separation. For the witnesses, physical as well as spiritual separation is considered. Physical separation is literally shunning.
They do imitate jesus, cause he never answers. I gotta say I'm glad I never called on a mythological figure before.
That's a brilliant line.
I love that he's walking around talking about them like they're not there haha That's so serious. They are straight up ignoring his ass.
Thanks th-cam.com/video/eL7BIGnj4SA/w-d-xo.html
Thats were I got baptize in San Diego in 1983 left in 2002 2003
Good job!! God bless you !!
Wow, this is crazy; like an episode of The Twilight Zone! The JWs better not even try to approach me!!
It's only talk for jws, but no actions. No even talk in this case though...
The best thing to do is to ignore them and warn your family about this dangerous cult. These people are ridiculous.
I don't understand, how do they know to shun this man?
That's how they treat JW's who leave the org.
@@billborden310 That I understand but how do they know to shun him? Was his face put up on a screen or something?
@Mark Orman. They were probably told during the convention but JW's assume that everyone who has anything negative to say about them is a former JW. i.e. apostate. Since it's a secret organization, only insiders would know enough to criticize them. Obviously this man didn't have a name tag and he was wondering around asking 'Do you imitate Jesus'? JW's would never do that at their conventions. They assumed he must be an apostate looking to 'shake their faith' in Jehovah. This is the way they've been treating apostates since 1952. It's a way of life and normal, 'loving' behavior. If they don't talk to you, they presume you will be so depressed, it will pressure you to 'return to Jehovah'. And since they believe God will save only JW's, shunning is a loving thing to do. They don't consider how many resort to alcohol, drugs, and suicide to numb the pain. They treat apostates as if they are dead because they believe Jehovah and 'His organization' (JWORG) is the only path. They don't believe Jesus is the only path, only hope, only God, and only faith they need to have eternal life. They believe Jesus is the angel Michael, created by Jehovah, to do Jehovah's will, even though the Bible makes it clear Jesus is God and should be worshipped. Philippians 2:10.
@@billborden310 Thank you so much, Bill. Now that makes it clear to me. My uncle was a JW, so was my massage therapist. Seems like the elders are their gods.
Bill Borden you explained that perfectly
Apparently they do not
OMG !!! I was cracking up. Really nort funny for him. But knowing what I know this is what they do. 2 Faced!!
I know one thing for a fact the man with the mic doesn't imitate Jesus and yet he is saying he imitate Jesus.
