Great video. I left the Holy Catholic Church for 19yrs for this evil cult. Long story. Thanks to EWTN. The Journey Home. Early church history brought me back to the Holy Catholic Church. God bless all who helped me in my journey back to the Church.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My GF questioned the JW when she was 15 and her parents disowned her. She was on her own with nothing. What kind of sane people could do that to a kid?
Many ex-JWs are forced to come back because they can't live being shunned by their families and friends. Remember many of them are born in the organization or joined very young and only hung around with other Jws. They have no outside support. Many of them have committed suicide. Many will remain inside the organization eventhough they don't believe what they teach because they know they will "lose everything". It's really sad.
Clearly satan doing such things, they are serving the evil satan. God would never acts like that, are they stupid not seeing satans ugly face in this sect?.
I am so grateful for the Filipinos, Poles, Hungarians and others with such strong Catholic cultures...they are an incredible gift! (Mexican and South America too!)
I'm a hard die Catholic and I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life by becoming a JW just because my ex's parents wanted me to, otherwise he'd be disfellowshiped. I can say I watched them too closely to know how wrong they were.
I was a JW until I was 17 and bolted and quickly became agnostic...When I was 46 thirsted for God...My Sister in law gave me a book by Catholic Apologist Patrick Madrid called "Suprised by the Truth"...I quickly devoured it and quickly became Catholic...
So, you abandoned Jehovah for a 3 headed monster and pagan Greek philosophy, such as the Trinity, Immortality of the Soul, Hell pagan dressed up customs and festivals, not to mention gross idolatry....! Gross apostasy from primitive biblical Christianity!
@@andrewgraham6496 My, my. I've heard and read grossly inaccurate statements before about the Catholic Church but yours top the charts! Somebody got very creative with the lies you're repeated. You might want to go to a reliable source and learn the truth. There is a reason why over a billion of us all over the world are Catholic.
Thank you, thank you Brian. As jw myself at the moment, but trying to carefully extract myself from this mind controlling organization, I so appreciate this video. I'm not out yet, because of family, and when I am out, I will be shunned. The members have no choice if they want to keep their own network. A person can be shunned for not shunning an exjw, even family. This video is so important. Please keep exposing them for what they are. Having said that, I must add, that any and all negative attention they get, is simply considered to be Satan attacking them because of being correct in their eyes, because Jesus said His true followers would be hated. So they claim this as evidence of being the "Truth". Again, thank you Brian, and peace be with you. 🙏
Thank you for your comment. May God bless you on your journey and guide you and give you strength to follow him at all costs. Its SO hard with family. We will certainly pray for you. If we can be of help, please let us know. God bless. Stay in touch!
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thank you so much for your very encouraging reply. God bless you. 🙏

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We alll need patience and prudence everyday in living and confessing the faith. Family bands are a value that should be taken serious and not be cut through too light-heartedly. It's about finding the right relation between the fourth commandment and Mt 10,37 - I don't know whether there is a general rule which would be valid in all particular circumstances. Praying for you! 🙏🏻 Jesus will show you a way - He *is* the way
Thank you for bravely sharing your story. Please know that I am praying for you, and am sure many others are now praying for you because of your willingness to express what you’re going through. May the Lord, through all His faithful on earth, the Virgin Mother and all the angels and Saints, strengthen you on your journey!
@J. M. Well, thank you. I wish to encourage you to please read your Bible. Without the magazine's. Yes, jw's believe that they are reading their Bible. I thought I was. Read the whole book of John, to start with, by itself in it's entirety. Also, when you see terms such as "seems that", "must have ", "possibly ", "would have", in the magazine articles or in talks, this is pure speculation on the part of the governing body of jw's. Also, they never spell out what "lies" apostates supposedly tell. They won't tell the brotherhood about the Australian Royal Commission and CSA in Jehovah's Witnesses. That is not apostate material. I did not wake up from so called "apostate " material. I woke up during last year's Regional convention with a member of the governing body of jw's lying to viewers about what the Bible teaches, during a talk. I know my Bible. I know what it teaches and what it does not teach. God's word warns us to "make sure of all things". For decades as a jw I didn't do that, I just "swallowed " being "spoon fed". Please, always make sure for yourself. Peace be with you.
I grew up with my mother being a JW, my father who was a Catholic and the rest of my family were Protestant.... needless to say I grew up very confused about religion since they exposed me to all of them. I kind of mixed all of the beliefs together and didn't fully understand what was what. I'm now 35 trying to seek the truth after falling away from Christianity. Thank you Catholic Truth for helping me on my journey. Your videos are wonderful ❤
I remember I once went to a Johova Witness hall after my friend kept insisting. Once inside the guy up on the microphone said "we have a special guest today, she comes from the Catholic church" (meaning me) then proceeded to inform everyone to pray for me so I could be saves from the evils of the catholic church. My internal voice: ohhhhh boy 😫 here we go....
"we have a special guest today, she comes from the Catholic church" (meaning me) then proceeded to inform everyone to pray for me so I could be saves from the evils of the catholic church." Pure fiction, as that is not how JWs work!
@@regendoocon5931 anyone that argues that hell is bad doesn't understand it's purpose. You can cuss out the Bible all you want but that won't make you correct. Hell is obviously a very scary place, but with Jesus we don't have to fear it for we are promised Salvation if we believe, keep the commandments, and do His great works. Hell is for people that chose to deny God and NEVER chose to repent.(People who ALWAYS chose to hate God) I personally believe God is very merciful (in fact, I know God is merciful because if He wasn't, this sinful world wouldn't exist anymore!) I, as with all Catholics, believe in Purgatory too, where we will become pure and then enter into Heaven. No one is perfect and Jesus isn't going to send us all to hell, even some of us who may not have gotten to know Him enough and may have not even ended up turning to God I believe will be spared. I don't know in what way, be it more time in Purgatory or what, but God is so great and merciful. We shouldn't test or take advantage of His mercy though. You've said something very bad about the Bible (which holds Jesus' Will). All I can tell you is to seek Jesus and ask for forgiveness! Everyone sins, God doesn't discriminate! Call upon His name, and your sins shall be forgiven friend! Perhaps, even if someone denied God their whole life, if they cry out and ask Him for forgiveness in the final days of Earth (maybe even on judgement day) that person might be saved. Obviously I can not know for certain, but I know 1)God is merciful, and loves us all and 2)Condemning people isn't right, only God can judge.
@@James-do3ct thank you james. Your doing a great job in exposing the untruths and lies of the cults out there. Perhaps you could scrutinize your beliefs and your own religion as well.
I have relatives who are one. Sadly they where former Catholics but converted ever since their grandmother allowed Jehovahs witnesses to live with them since they where from the same province. Sadly they didn’t want their grand children to have blood transfusion good thing is father of the child was Catholic but a non practicing one. Love from the Philippines!
For most of my adult life I have tried to help active JWs see the truth of who God is. After about an hour of discussion with me on the subject of the deity of our Lord, they always flee. Keep praying for these people! On a positive note, I know of some wonderful and beautiful souls who discovered the lies of Watch Tower and left the cult. They are being shunned by their immediate family. I pray also for them. 😊
We KNOW who God is, people like you have a pagan trinity that is a FALSE god that doesn't exist. Jesus is NOT God; without the approval and direction of the Father, Jesus can't do a thing on his own! The JW's have the correct understanding of the Scriptures, YOU DON"T. All you have learned are the doctrines of the church you attend that are Catholic doctrines the Protestants kept when they split from Catholicism. Those beliefs are taken from PAGAN religions which is undeniable, it's a fact. So you have no basis to dispute JW beliefs since your own beliefs are wrong!
Just want to thank you again because my line of work I’m a caregiver and I go to the elderly and take care of them and the lady I was taking care of live with her sister and well she was napping her sister started talking to me about God and then I quickly found out that she was a Jehovah witness and thanks to your videos and what you went through help me navigate my way out Soi wouldn’t be trapped in a corner And the sad thing was she was a former Catholic 😔
That part that it is okay to have questions and doubts was one of the best pieces of advice from the confirmation retreat volunteers (back in 2010) - to feel free to search for answers and ultimately it will most likely lead us back - which was so useful for me before initial college years with existentialism.
I had a good friend, RIP, who asked a JW if she was one who was going to heaven and she, Virginia, joined their church and was holier than her and took her (JW) place in heaven what would happen to her. They suddenly were late for something and had to leave. They never came back! LMBO
Did you ever look up the faith mission? It is in some rural areas in the uk and republic of Ireland. They have a centre near where I live. Just curious about their differences to our Catholic religion as one of our neighbours attends it. Loved this video. Another of my neighbours is part of the Jehovah Witnesses, she was church of Ireland with her husband who is still church of Ireland. I myself would never leave the Catholic faith. If you live in the local town which we used too a good few times each week you had Jehovah Witnesses calling to the house with a copy of the Watch Tower to try and get you to join their faith. In our nearest city at the bus station they have a huge sign promoting their religion.
My mother is a Jehovah Witness and it’s very frustrating to our family when she forces her religion upon our family. My family and I are Catholic and she lived with us approximately five years ago. It was a very tense experience. My daughter was given a portrait of the Virgin Mary for graduating from Catholic school. She became unhinged because we had the portrait in the house. She told us that it was demonic and that she couldn’t continue living with us as long as that picture was in her house. She asked us to live with her because she was concerned about living alone. We made the sacrifice for her and she turned that experience into a living hell.
@@englishrose6627 : 'Catholic' means universal . However, as the Apostles and disciples of Jesus spread the 'gospel', Christian communities were set up, quickly spreading throughout the empire within a few decades. When we read the NT documents, it is apparent that 'false teachers tried to spread divisiions. Paul warned of these. John tells us that he was being resisted. Jesus himself, in the gospels, taught this. With the death of the Apostles, the apostasy warned by all was a real danger. Christian communities were by now well established . With the destruction of Jersusalem in AD 70, the mother Church was destroyed and various centres competed for authority and control in the following decades. There was no Roman Catholic Church. There was no central control, certainly not from Rome. You should read the NT as well as Church history.
I'm an ex JW and just to clarify - we never believed anyone who believes in the trinity is "evil". I like your videos and I left for several reasons including me thinking some of their beliefs are strange... but I just thought I'd point this out. They don't view anyone as "evil". And no, they wouldn't be allowed to watch this video. Regarding the soul, we did believe in the soul, but believed we are one, we don't have one.
If Jesus Christ and Michael the Archangel are the same person, then why did Michael the Archangel say in Jude 1:7 (with his dispute with the devil about Moses body) Michael said: "The LORD rebuke you". In other words, Michael deferred to The Lord (Jesus) for the rebuke of the devil. (Jude 1:6-9) In addition, the writer of Hebrews (Apostle Paul?) clearly states that The "Son" (Jesus Christ) is not an Angel (Heb. 1:5)
Easy, they added “Jehovah” to that Jude verse so it says: “May Jehovah* rebuke you.” And there’s a footnote taking you to the appendix which gives reasons why they decided to add “Jehovah” like 200 times to the NT.
I would add that Mary was the New Ark of the Covenant. She held the Word within her. The Ark was not to be touched. It was a sacred vessel. You would not use it as a storage device for non-sacred objects. Also, back when I was a Protestant, I would usually be confused when I read Mary's confusion at the angel's assertion that she would become pregnant. After all, she was engaged to be married. But if you understand that she had taken a vow of celibacy you can easily see why she was confused. This is when the angel assured her that the Holy Spirit would overshadow her.
Bryan I just….. anytime I feel bad that I fell into Protestantism especially southern Baptist, I quickly realize there are worse cult like sects of false religions. So in that regard, you made me feel better again!!
Brother Brian an aunt of mine nearly died because she converted to JW. She had an accident and refuses transfusion. My mom had to chastise her into allowing the doctor to administer aid to her. I myself know 3 JW friends committing suicide. Something nentally off with them bro. I teached out to two of them, but still they sufferred depression. So sad.
If you watch videos by ex-Jehova Witnesses they will tell you so many of them suffer from depression and sadly many take their own lives. I never knew this until I started watching videos from them and this theme is basically in almost every single video.
@@marcihf217 coz a key teaching in their group is that it is near the end, thus np need to study, work and toil for judgment day is at hand. Remember they had 2 or 3 failed prophesies of the second coming. My fruends did not try to finishe school nor work. All they did was go from house to house spreading their lies. This prompted them to take their lives when they finally realized all is lost coz they did not prepare for their future..
Sadly, my uncle, a good Roman Catholic, died despite taking lots of blood transfusions. So what does that prove? Many people who commit suicide have come from a Roman catholic background and we forever hear about 'Catholic Guilt'. Many atheists also commit suicide. Does that mean there is something 'mentally off' with them too ? Perhaps that is the point.
First of all I would like to remind you I’m publishing this video on events from the Life of St John Bosco once a week, on the weekend. You can post comments, express ideas, put questions and ask for prayers. My purpose in publishing these videos is not only to narrate in detail episodes from the splendid life of Don Bosco, but also to help you grow closer to God, to arrive at a perfect love of God. Remember that if we depart from this world with a perfect love of God, we go straight to heaven. This is possible by God’s grace
Excellent explanation. Please go in-depth in another video as to more detailed differences. The more information about contradictions with the true faith , the more leverage those open to leave the JW will have to find the truth. God bless you Bryan.
"Should You Believe in the Trinity" booklet by the Watchtower is "out of print". When asked why it's not on their website, the woman repeated several times "it's out of print". That was the end of the discussion. In reality, as this guy in the video stated, it is terrible research and used improper methodology. I suspect the reason it's not even on their website is because they have been exposed for their unprofessional research and false conclusions.
: With due respect, it is on their website and you can download it for free. Either use the search option or go to the Library section under older publications. I suspect that you are the one using improper methodology and drawing false conclusions.
In one of their old books, The Harp of God, watchtower claims that “the Christ” is Jesus AND the supposed “anointed class” of 144,000 in WT theology. They actually claim that Christ isn’t ONLY Jesus!!! What did Jesus say about ANYONE who claims to be Christ???
Sad that the JWs, along with the Seventh Day Adventist’s and Mormons are shunned if they question and leave. I live in Salt Lake Utah and I know many Mormons who don’t believe but are afraid to leave as they’ll lose their family as well as friends and associates.
You're doing a great job explaining. I only know one JW and we did not get along. The more I learn about her religion, the more I feel like I need to pray for her conversion.
Another casualty of Bible-only Christianity....it's important to note that most heresies, JW included, base themselves on their particular reading of the Scriptures. That is why it is so important to have A Sacred Tradition that is inherited from ancient times, so you can say, 'that's an ingenious interpretation of the Scriptures, but it doesn't accord with the inherited understanding of the text, as inherited from the Patristic Fathers.' So the role of Sacred Tradition as umpire for these disputes cannot be overstated.
@@jennernolast6858 by whose interpretation? Of the 40k prot denominations who know the bible well, yet contradicts each other re: salvation, baptism, justification, etc. So unreasonable and confusing. Did Jesus leave us the bible we use today? And where did he say in the bible, I e. OT, ONLY the bible is SOLE authority of ALL truths?
@@jennernolast6858 every heretic prot says he have the spirit inside them and what they say is true . nothing but satan's work inside their minds . afterall what to expect from those who follow the 500 year old man made religion.
@@jennernolast6858 Unfortunately PROT "Popes" like to mis-interpret His Word. What is ur faith tradition/denomination again? in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, be Honest and Brave for Him, don't be embarrassed or a coward. What earthly group gave the world the Bible that most Christians use to this day in some form or other? Hint: surely not any protestants, and once again, man-made due to coming into existence 1500yrs After the resurrection of our Good Lord. Do u believe that group was inspired by God and had the authority to do it? How do u know? Who or wat did St. Paul said is the pillar and foundation of the truth? The bible...NOT! The CHURCH, singular, not plural. You have some growing up to do, get some wisdom and humility. Mother Catholic Church... young sanctimonious self-righteous young ens/baby Christians think they can school their elders. But welcome to Catholic channels, keep showing how PROT are ignorant, intellectual dishonest, unreasonable, and misinformed. Keep (or get?) the love as Jesus has commanded. Jesus We Trust in You.
@@jennernolast6858 yup , the holy spirit is inside true faithful catholics . but when a catholic puts over his personal interpretation over the apostolic teachings and interpretations of the early church , he become a heretic .so heretics don't have holy . they have the spirit of the devil . god id not the author of confusion . therefore the inspiration that prots get are not from god .
Jenner, we don't even know what to say about you. Your comments are so... sad. Luke complied the Bible? No! Luke compiled his OWN Gospel. It was the Catholic Church who complied the Bible. You are conflating the two and will literally do _anything_ to try to hate on the Catholic Church even if your arguments don't make any sense. It's OK to disagree with the church is you think there are problems, but be honest and intellectual, not using the bottom of the barrel arguments because of some vendetta you are creating. God bless.
Can you do a video on new age and the things as crystals and the danger of worshipping them . Love the vids trying to have someone explain to my wife and people my age .
How do reconcile crystals with evil but yet use a computer that uses quartz crystal as a conductor its very hypocritical. I dont believe in mining crystals myself but I think to call them evil is extreme. They are in the earth and God put them there for a reason.but I dont believe in mining them as it wreaks havoc on environment
@@florrie8767 It's not evil when used as a tool, without undue focus being placed on supposed "healing powers" or alleged "spiritual powers" or whatever. It's not evil to use wood from trees to build a house. It is evil to worship a tree as you would worship God.
My in laws are JW. Not sure if anyone knows this but ever since covid started, JW are prohibited from hanging out with each other except your own family who you live with. Otherwise they can get in trouble. They are still doing all their meetings virtually. I mean the level of mind control is mind blowing.
It is all about control. They have ruined countless lives by their strict and insane scare tactics. Pray for them so that God will uncover their eyes. Unfortunately, people are scared to leave because of the backlash they receive.
Yup. I am still 'in' the Organization and my best friend who I grew up with and was in my wedding didn't even invite me to theirs. She would probably get in trouble with her elders if she invited anyone other than family. Another sister I know needed to move bc her landlord wanted her out and had to postpone the move for a couple months because at first the brothers in multiple congregations refused to help her and she didn't have money to hire help. It's crazy how people give into fear. Jesus said visit the sick. Not avoid people because you might get sick.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Liar! Look at the lives ruined, cut short, murdered, families ripped apart...by the Catholic Church over the centuries, greed, avarice, apostasy, homosexual priests, nuns, bishops, Popes, power mad, blessing wars, starting wars with so-called holy crusades, one Pope even going into war, another sided with Modalism and another suspected of it...shall I go on! A monstrous immoral church if ever there was one, and God is supposed to be with thd Catholic Church!!!!! The Catholic Church is finished, her numbers dropping world wide, very few tsking so-called holy orders, churches closing down! Anything you say to prop it up is a veneer, as part of Babylon the Great that great religious whore in the book of Revelation, thd Catholic Church is to be destroyed at Jehovah's command, as he pulls the strings of the political entities of the UN! What a wonderous time that will be! Where will you run to and hide, when your Catholic Church is forever gone, never to rise ever again!
I remembered seeing those pamphlet with picture of their interpretation of paradise when I was a child. I was amazed to see them, good thing I didn’t get to carried aways and converted since I was a child.
ye. they have some extremely dedicated artists. I always loved the pictures as a kid, but I also know of a lot of people who were terrified by some of the art they made.
I work with a Jehovah's witness, I am slowly getting him to see the faulty interpretations from the watchtower organization. But he like many others are so blinded by there beliefs
@larysnw418 well , the main one is there 1914 generation doctrine. This generation has come and gone by a long shot so they have invented a overlapping generation. How is this possible. In a few years there are going to be some very dissolutioned people
@larysnw418 if both of these events happened in 1914 it goes to show something very different going on with the interpretation of what Jesus was talking about this generation. Those apostles saw the events of what happened in there generation. The watchtower organization interpretation has to ADD another generation to save face. 110 years compared to 40 years tells you there is a big difference in the time frame of a generation. The way David Splane explained it in his video could allow for 40 more years by his own reasoning. Then what. A failed prophecy and the wrong way in how to interpret scripture as the watchtower consistently does. They read the Bible as if it is a novel which only leads to singular arguments. You are correct about the apostles having a misguided understanding of acts 1 vs 6 but at that time they were still learning. It was not until the holy spirit came that they had the knowledge that Jesus promised them as the helper
In 10 years time would you still consider yourself to be a Jehovah's witness. Too many are starting to wake up that maybe Armageddon is not going to happen in accordance with the watchtower organization policy. From an observational perspective the Jehovah's witnesses look like a fantastic religion but as you study more you can clearly see there views are misinformed. As a group of men interpreting scripture around a table is all you get is a man's interpretation and that is fine if you want to join a country club. The Catholic and orthodox teachings have been passed down by means of the apostles, church fathers and down to us today. It is the continuity from christ himself.
@larysnw418 Charles says that 1914 was armageddon. "and the beginning of Christs' invisible presence." 1874 was the "beginning of Christs' invisible presence." "But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble. Zion's Watch Tower 1894 Jul 15 p.226
Thank you for your videos.I found them last night and am so excited all The Catholic teaching u explain alot in 1 video.I do have to ask a couple questions I have about the Bible and was wondering if u or someone Catholic I'm able to ask in private .Tytyty I'm so excited to learn the truth.I was so confused.
“Like Tom here, do you like to be in a Jehovah's Witness and he was doing well there, but he realized that it has false doctrines and a faulty theology and was started by a man and not Jesus Christ.” Reply, “… but he realized that it has false doctrines and a faulty theology…” Take one example! I was a Catholic for over 20 years and still have my Catholic catechisms, a large one and the other, a pocket size one with a red cover, 1971 edition and says: Q “How is my soul like unto God?” A “My soul is like unto God because it is a spirit and immortal” Q “Why do you mean that my soul is immortal?” A “By immortal, I mean that my soul can never die” So, this is Catholic dogma/theology. Yet, without burdening the readers with what the original Greek and Hebrew says on the matter of the soul and even what your own Catholic scholars and other authorities have to say also, your own Catholic Douay Bible flatly contradicts your own Catholic dogma/theology, yet, both are from the same Catholic church! Let me refresh your memory! Texts from the Catholic Douay Bible Gen 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.” Here, man (like the animals) became a living soul; only when God breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life and the body became animated, that Adam then became a living soul, he did not possess one, he was one; the difference between being a dog and having a dog! Gen 3:19 “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return?” The person Adam with a single centre of consciousness, a living soul, was made from the dust of the earth, and because of his deliberate rebellion against his Creator, God, his wages for his sin was the death sentence, when he died, where did the onetime living soul called Adam go to? “…thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return?” The bible is very clear, the living soul, Adam in time died and went back to the dust from where he was taken! The bible, nowhere mentions that any kind of so-called spiritual or spirit part of man continues to exist after his death, the complete person the soul Adam died and his flesh perished, decomposed…back to dust! The bible also tells us that a Hebrew was not to touch a dead soul, lest he be unclean…and that, also a soul can, eat meat, sweat and thirst, be stuck with the sword, faint, also that a soul can die, be destroyed, be saved: Ezek 18:4, 20 “4 Behold all souls are mine: as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, the same shall die.” “20 The soul that sinneth, the same shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and the father shall not bear the iniquity of the son: the justice of the just shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.” Math 10:28 “And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Whatever one wants to think what the soul is, the fact is, that it can be destroyed! James 5:20 “He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.” By now, you must realise what is going on here, your Catholic catechism says one thing, that the soul is a spirit and is immortal, yet, your own Catholic Douay Bible says the opposite! Q How can the Catholic Church be both right and wrong, simultaneously? How is immortality defined? John 5:26 “For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself” “life in himself”? Immortality is that special and unique quality of life, such as that possessed of the Father, that it is self-generating, it cannot die, or be made subject to death, cannot be made subject to corrosion, be dissolved, be made subject to any kind of corruption…! Thus, if man does have an immortal soul, as Catholics and others say, as per their dogma/theology, then the above texts that a soul can die, be destroyed, be saved would be utterly meaningless! Catholics have embroiled themselves in their own contradiction and cannot see it, it has to be pointed out to them by an apologist JW! And this single example of your self-contradictory Catholic dogma/theology is what the ex-JW apostate “Tom” has gone over to! Additional information for any Catholic who should happen to read the above. (From my research notes): In the Bible, “soul” is translated from the Hebrew neʹphesh and the Greek psy·kheʹ. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. To many persons, however, “soul” means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body. Others understand it to be the principle of life. But these latter views are not Bible teachings. Do other scholars who are not Jehovah’s Witnesses acknowledge that this is what the Bible says the soul is? New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967): “There is no dichotomy [division] of body and soul in the O[ld] T[estament]. The Israelite saw things concretely, in their totality, and thus he considered men as persons and not as composites. The term nepeš [neʹphesh], though translated by our word soul, never means soul as distinct from the body or the individual person. . . . The term [psy·kheʹ] is the N[ew] T[estament] word corresponding with nepeš. It can mean the principle of life, life itself, or the living being.”-New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967), Vol. XIII, pp. 449, 450. The New Encyclopædia Britannica (1976): “The Hebrew term for ‘soul’ (nefesh, that which breathes) was used by Moses . . . , signifying an ‘animated being’ and applicable equally to nonhuman beings. . . . New Testament usage of psychē (‘soul’) was comparable to nefesh.”-The New Encyclopædia Britannica (1976), Macropædia, Vol. 15, p. 152. The Jewish Encyclopedia (1910): “The belief that the soul continues its existence after the dissolution of the body is a matter of philosophical or theological speculation rather than of simple faith, and is accordingly nowhere expressly taught in Holy Scripture.”-The Jewish Encyclopedia (1910), Vol. VI, p. 564. And lastly: What is the origin of Christendom’s belief in an immaterial, immortal soul? “The Christian concept of a spiritual soul created by God and infused into the body at conception to make man a living whole is the fruit of a long development in Christian philosophy. Only with Origen [died c. 254 C.E.] in the East and St. Augustine [died 430 C.E.] in the West was the soul established as a spiritual substance and a philosophical concept formed of its nature. . . . His [Augustine’s] doctrine . . . owed much (including some shortcomings) to Neoplatonism.”-New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967), Vol. XIII, pp. 452, 454. “The concept of immortality is a product of Greek thinking, whereas the hope of a resurrection belongs to Jewish thought. . . . Following Alexander’s conquests Judaism gradually absorbed Greek concepts.”-Dictionnaire Encyclopédique de la Bible (Valence, France; 1935), edited by Alexandre Westphal, Vol. 2, p. 557. “Immortality of the soul is a Greek notion formed in ancient mystery cults and elaborated by the philosopher Plato.”-Presbyterian Life, May 1, 1970, p. 35. “Do we believe that there is such a thing as death? . . . Is it not the separation of soul and body? And to be dead is the completion of this; when the soul exists in herself, and is released from the body and the body is released from the soul, what is this but death? . . . And does the soul admit of death? No. Then the soul is immortal? Yes.”-Plato’s “Phaedo,” Secs. 64, 105, as published in Great Books of the Western World (1952), edited by R. M. Hutchins, Vol. 7, pp. 223, 245, 246. “The problem of immortality, we have seen, engaged the serious attention of the Babylonian theologians. . . . Neither the people nor the leaders of religious thought ever faced the possibility of the total annihilation of what once was called into existence. Death was a passage to another kind of life.”-The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria (Boston, 1898), M. Jastrow, Jr., p. 556. Really, you and the apostate ex-JW Tom don’t have a leg to stand on! You’re welcome to him! What you also fail to mention to readers, is that, literally tens of thousands of Catholics each year abandon the Catholic Church to embrace the biblical God and his son Jesus and reject your metaphysical Platonic ones, no wonder the Catholic Church in Italy is concerned about its members abandoning the biggest part of Babylon the Great, the Mother of the religious Harlots! And, that was only on one teaching, dogma/theology of the Catholic, so-called immortality of the soul! Your own bible exposes such a lie!
My whole family and cousins etc are Jehovah's Witnesses, i was born into it and now im a converted Catholic. Its so hard to show them evidence and how wrong and false their religion is and my family just shun me and now my dad won't even talk to me anymore because of it.
Sorry to hear that. If you haven't heard this man's conversion story, you should. He's a former Jehovah's witness who has brought countless Witnesses out of the Watchtower. He's a Catholic. th-cam.com/video/AIAgtiFNdXo/w-d-xo.html
I had a friend who was a Jehovah’s Witness and I didn’t agree with his decision but he went to the hospital and asked me to inform the doctor that he was not to have a blood transfusion should something happen to him I sat in the waiting room and just pray to God that he would not need one and come out OK mind you I don’t think I really knew much about my faith but I will take that that a prayer was answered at that time he explained to me that the veins bring the nutrition therefore it was eatingAlso stating that medicine is given through the veins so that would be equivalent to eating I still think God that he did not need a blood transfusion that day but I probably would’ve had to say nothing and probably break a promise I am grateful that I did not have to make that choice and yes God answers prayers when needed
This is all very fascinating as a Catholic. Some of these beliefs remind me of some of the variations on the Christian faith before constantine. The ebionites for example. Wild.
I I have had JW's tell me they don't celebrate holidays because "they live by the Bible" and these holidays aren't in it. Well, what about the things in the Bible that they don't do? When do they offer the annual sin and thank offerings? I've never seen that and I'd to. Where do they get a spotless lamb (sheep or goat) for the sacrifices? Do they eat pork or shellfish? The Bible says we're not supposed to.
Thank you for puttung the true light to JW’s belief. Like you said we’re not making fun of their beliefs. In fact, we want pulled them out of deceitfulness that Jesus Christ is just an angel. Where we all know as Christian foundation, Jesus Christ is the only way the truth and the life only way to get to God. In Jesus Christ is God himself in the form of the flesh so that he can relate to what human Goes through every day life.
Thank you for video. I'm catholic and autistic. I had jw.write to me I replied just to find how she got my name. Then i got ill and she helped me but now can't get rid . I believed what she said at first as I'm literal but did my own research and so many things I dont agree with. I agree with some things such as not going to war but shunning your family or children is not very forgiving is it. She keeps bashing catholics calling it pagan. And about paedophilia in catholic church my dad was abused in catholic school and was atheist.i only found out after he died as he told his sister converted back but my mum was catholic had me raised as catholic but I never bashed JW. Yes and I learnt about abuse in JW too. I find it hard to verbally express or respond due to auditory processing difficulty.
Very good for you for researching and standing up for yourself. Good job. Feel free to check out our other videos on Jehovah's Witnesses also which will help you.
Greetings florrie! I too am Catholic and have much family in the JW organization and have much info i could share if you are interested. My family and I have parted ways and they have finally left me alone after much refutations of their rhetoric. Peace!!!
It is very dangerous to fill your mind with a load of false teaching of sects which you know to be false. Know your own beliefs so that when someone tries to change your mind you can send them 'packing'. The problem is when you are holding beliefs which are unscriptural yourself, then you are easily swayed.
Hi Brian,l managed to escape the cult but jus one thing l was always taught that Jesus is the son of God.Another thing we were taught is that we were good for nothing slaves unless part of the 144000.Higher education and chasing a career was also discouraged.l was taught not to think too highly of myself,always thinking l was beneath everyone and so behaved that way.l have been severely damaged along with so many others and it wrecked our lives.This is definitely a cult.l am now considered an apostate which is apparently the worst thing on earth.These are high control tactics n although l escaped the damage is done and l live in fear.
Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for your comment. Sorry you have been so hurt and damaged. Our prayers for healing are with you. If we can be of help in any way, please let us know. God bless you.
Religion should not be free from criticism, it should be encouraged. Otherwise, as you said, people's health and life could be at risk of their religion is holding them back from advancements in healthcare and education.
Most semi-Christian sects (all 40,000 of them) have some insanities in their "beliefs".

10:30 very true: resurrecting to a perennial life on this Earth will get boring after the first couple of millenia! They literally believe in "Hotel California"
there is another thing about minute 9:27, they also belive that God talks directly to them, indirectly they behave like God is residing in governing body and orders governing body what to do and what not to do.
Sadly a lot of "Catholics" nowadays seem to also believe in a "Paradise Earth" as the ultimate goal. Insofar as they believe in heaven they just assume everyone goes there and certainly don't believe in hell (except of course if you're a "meanie") or Purgatory.
I've been meeting with one who is trying to get me to his kingdom hall. No teaching me about salvation through faith, just trying to get me to kingdom hall. I have been dueling with him about doctrine. I've been giving him a lot of references to helll in the bible. After 12 or so hours talking and discussing he showed me a scripture about being wary of false teachers. I said you think I am a false teacher? He said yes thats why I showed you that. I guess that's their go to when you reveal flaws in their theology and they don't have scripture to rebut. I don't know if I'll see him again. We'll see.
@@paru-chinbaka5214 Whatever. It doesn't matter. Most Lutherans are very nice people, but have seen enough to know I want nothing to do with the Lutheran Church and it's teachings. Good luck to you.
My cousin turned away from Catholic faith to Jehovah's Witness. I don't know much about JW so thank you for making this video and that 1 hour long one about JW's history and belief. I am not sure if it's appropriate to share these videos with him. I am currently invited to his wedding next month and I am not sure how to interact with JWs as it will be my first time and all these facts at the back of my mind that I wanted them to know. 😅
Thank you so much for this video very informative. I'm Catholic and have been informing myself about them because my sister married someone whos whole family is JW and also my husband's Aunt is JW. A channel I've enjoyed is Lloyd Evans channel he is exJW with wonderful informative content. I truly appreciate your video on this and Have been Learning so much about my catholic Faith here on this channel Thank you.oh I also have a very evangelical pentecostal mother in law yikes a mix huh 🤣
Quite a mix. Good for you for researching and studying your faith. Keep watching your videos, they will definitely help you with that. We even had a debate on here with an ex-catholic who became Pentecostal. It's a full debate if you're interested. Probably from about 4 months ago. God bless. Keep up the good work. Keep the faith.
First of all I would like to remind you I’m publishing this video on events from the Life of St John Bosco once a week, on the weekend. You can post comments, express ideas, put questions and ask for prayers. My purpose in publishing these videos is not only to narrate in detail episodes from the splendid life of Don Bosco, but also to help you grow closer to God, to arrive at a perfect love of God. Remember that if we depart from this world with a perfect love of God, we go straight to heaven. This is possible by God’s grace
Because you have never been a JW you are in the best position to wake them up. I was born-in and it was Scriptures read in context that woke me up, Praise the Most High. JWs won't talk to ex-JWs and get suspicious of current JWs asking questions. Anything negative about the history of the Organization they connect with "apostates". But JWs are trained to answer sincere questions from those they consider 'unbelievers' (aka anyone that's never been a JW.) So my best advice if you want to help them wake up is to know your Bible and ask a question they can't answer.
I was a Catholic for over 20 years, born and bread, always listened to my Catholic priests and that is all I knew, that is, until I grew older and started my studies in Greek, Greek philosophy, Patristics and much more, when old enough I confronted my local priests with my finding on certain Catholic doctrines, which I proved to my priests were borrowed pagan teachings, re-dressed to look biblical, but in reality had no biblical basis at all, even the late respected Cardinal John henry Newman admits as much in his "Essays"! Here is one example on the "Soul"? I still have my Catholic Catechisms (one a pocket size from the 1970s and the other a larger more indepth one! In my pocket size Catechism for example it says that the soul is a spirit and is immortal and cannot dies, yet my Catholic Douay says the direct opposite and says it can die! How would you reconcile one with the other, especially since both are by the same Catholic Church and that the Pope on matters of doctrine cannot err!
@@andrewgraham9940 you are all over the map! The soul cannot die and nowhere in the any Christian bible does it say that it can. As for the pope cannot err in doctrine?? Where did you get that? You might need to replace that with the Pope, when speaking Ex Cathedra and consultation with the curia, while speaking on faith and morals is taken to be inspired by the holy spirit.
I solved the problem with jw coming to my door,and my mom told them we are roman catholics. so mom took thier magazine with politeness. but i had 2 men come and they wanted me to accept a free viewing invitation to see some presentation. but i said no thank you i do not beleive in jws. and they keep trying.and i said i don't believe in the jws. and they left me with a funny look and puzzlement. and now no more jw coming to our house. i know sounds mean,but i did what i had to do. and yes pray for the ingorant faiths out there and hopefully they will see the real truth about God. good video! :)
God is going to judge us invidually. There is a lot of good people in JW. Reminder let's be careful not to be anti or prejudice towards them but love them. But yes I agree there interpretation is I say "different"
in 8:10 you mentioned about 144000, there is another thing about it: memorial eating is not to remember Jesus, it is about to celebrate Governing body's holiness (JW belives that 144000 are holy people selected by God and they will rule the erth and they are choosen from among governing body of jw.
It's not the same. But for years I believed it was. It was such a damaging experience it took me 11 years to deprogram and come back home to the catholic church.
And what is so evil or horrendous about Mother's Day, Christmas, Easter, or birthdays? Sure would hate to be a kid having to grow up in that den of vipers....
I like your content, but I have a nitpick. “Equivocal” means mistaken, not equal to. I believe the word you were searching for when saying “equivocal to drinking blood” is “equating with drinking blood.”
@@CatholicTruthOfficial in my experience with dealing with JWs, there are two categories of doctrines to distinguish: core doctrines versus tangential doctrines. Though "Tangential Doctrines" are still dogma, they are not really what the religion is about, the TDs are mostly there to add uniqueness to the religion to help it stand out from other "denominations". This is where transfusions, holidays, birthdays, and even the Trinity fall into for the JW. The JWs use these TDs as a way to be easily recognized since they don't want to be seen as just another form of Christianity. In my experience, it is largely a waste of time to spend too much effort on the TDs, because the JW isn't really concerned about them, and their religion would still substantially exist even if they began to allow transfusions, holidays, using the name "Jehovah", etc. The JWs really only attack the Trinity as a way of shaking the faith of weak Christians, and when their faith is shaken then they are far more open to hearing the JW message. It would be like if you refute Sola Scriptura, then a Protestant's whole world is shaken and he is now better disposed to accept what other things the Catholic has to say. The Trinity is an easy doctrine to attack because most Christians don't know how to easily properly defend it like they should. JWs don't mind wasting time on TDs because they know there's not much risk and that you will get tired out first. So if Catholics want to be truly effective, they must focus their energy on the Core Essentials, which the JWs are most concerned about, and which they are not really able to defend since they aren't built to defend these CEs. The chief doctrine in the mind of every JW is that the Bible is a prophetic book that tells us when Jesus will return, and that since they are the only ones who honestly studied the Bible they were able to determine that *Jesus was to return within our own lifetime* hence the literal timeframe of Jesus returning within "one generation" of 1914AD. They claim that since all other "Christian" groups didn't realize the massive prophecy that *Jesus was returning literally any moment to establish God's kingdom and restore paradise to earth* means these other "Christian" groups aren't credible in interpreting the Bible, only the JWs are credible. And the JWs further discredit mainstream Christianity the JWs often point out how most of us downplay/ignore Biblical prophecy, and invent whacky doctrines like the Trinity and Hellfire. So Catholics must focus the bulk of their energy on CE things like (1) how 1914 cannot genuinely be derived from the Bible, (2) how it's been over 100 years since 1914 and thus their prediction is rapidly losing credibility, (3) that their interpretation of "end times" texts about signs to look for like Matthew 24 and Revelation 12 are blatantly problematic, (4) and especially that Catholics take Biblical prophecy very seriously, especially the prophecy of Daniel 2. The Church Fathers point out Daniel ch2 blatantly predicts the Catholic Church would arise during the Roman Empire and grow to fill the whole world and never be destroyed. JWs freak out when you show Daniel 2 proves Catholicism. They aren't expecting Catholics to base their Catholicism so firmly on Biblical prophecy. Failure to distinguish TD from CE doctrines is why JW apologetics has historically not been very effective. This is shown by the fact Catholic apologetics to JWs never focuses on Daniel 2, never addresses the JW spin on Revelation ch12 and Matthew 24. The modern JW doesn't care one bit about what Charles Russell said or that 1975 was a false prediction or what their magazine said in the 1950s, because that was a long time ago and because their CEs are still not being addressed and Catholics aren't taking back Biblical prophecy on the exegetical level. For example, we need to show the JWs the "war in heaven" in Revelation 12 cannot be referring to Satan being cast out in 1914AD so he could start up WW1 upon the earth.
Do you support patient blood management, and if so why? Did you know some hospitals like Englewood have virtually eliminated the need for blood transfusions for all patients, which is now their standard practice, and they thank Jehovah's Witnesses for that. See the videos: Patient Blood Management Englewood Health. The Birth of Bloodless - The Englewood Experience.
in minute 10:45 you mentioned sth that was always a question in my mind too, they always rejoince about living forever, but they never mention abou anything about seeing God and living with him. I thing this is kind of not fair, also Satan climed that human is depende on its body and physical need,
Revelation chapters 7 and 14 Mentions the 144.000 ,I Think That Reading the King James VERSION is AGood Idea Especially Exodus 6 :3 Isaiah 42 : 8 and Psalm 83:18 In the older Translations that Most Organizations used in the 1800s and 1900s !
But not that only 144,000 can go to heaven. First, they are only men who can go to heaven and virgins it says. So clearly symbolic of the 12 tribes of israel. And second, in Revelation 7, the very next verse is that all people of every nation are before God in heaven.
@ 10:38 You say you're "not excited" which is foolish in my opinion to think that way. As a Catholic, you should know, even mentioned in the Catechism and in the Book of Revelation, that after Jesus' return, there will be a New Heaven and New Earth. People don't want to die. God put eternity in our hearts, and that is mentioned in Ecclesiastes 3:10, 11 "10: I have seen the occupation that God has given to the sons of men to keep them occupied. 11: He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has even put eternity in their heart, yet mankind will never find out the work that the true God has made from start to finish." That scripture indicates that we could never be bored if life is forever on Earth.
I can easily refute him on the part about Jesus' bodily resurrection, because the Bible clearly says he was resurrected a spirit person after his death...so Jesus only materialised in fleshly human bodies with wound holes to strengthen the faith of his disciples after they were scattered when he was arrested, put on trial and then executed by the Roman soldiers.
1 Peter 3:18 - "...he was being put to death in the flesh, but was made alive in the Spirit." 1 Corinthians 15:50 - "....flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God". This text by apostle Paul says that a body of Flesh and blood cannot live or exist in the heaven as only spirit creatures like God and the angels can. There is nothing in the bible about Jesus having a glorifieded human body in heaven, it was only invented by the Catholic church.
The RC church can never & never will give interpretation on book of Revelation especially the parts of Revelation 7 and Revelation 14:1 about the 144,000 who are they?
My grandfather once asked a visiting JW if they honor or salute the flag. He gave them 5 seconds to get off his porch and boy, let me tell you, he meant it. That was a good day.
"My grandfather once asked a visiting JW if they honor or salute the flag. He gave them 5 seconds to get off his porch" That is called fanatic nationalism! A similar question could be asked! Would the early Christians have thrown a pinch of incense to the bust of Ceasar? If they didn't, they were executed! Should modern Christians salute a flag?, like incense is tantamount to rank idolatry!
@@andrewgraham6496 Best leave well enough alone. You made your point. You defended a man-made religious sect, based on lies, with no claim of authenticity, and devoid of truth. It attracts folks who are simpleminded, easily influenced and who question nothing. And, as you have obviously exhibited, they can be somewhat petty also.
I was born into a Catholic family, and then when I was 7, JW knocked on my parents door. My mom didn’t seem to have a good social structure, lost her own mom to death, was looking for answers. They love bombed her. I lost Christmas and birthdays and the rest of my family became “bad association.” They pointed to the paganism in Catholicism, they pointed to the name Jehovah, in the KJV, 4 times. they had their checklist of good characteristics that they focused on and their checklist of all the bad things other groups did, like go to war, get involved in politics, voting for worldly leaders rather than foe gods kingdom. Much of it made sense. But along with it, they provided community, and a social network that my mom, and then I, didn’t have. And so the brainwashing or child indoctrination began and it worked.
Isn’t the whole end of Revelation a new heavens and earth? The 2nd coming Is about Christ coming to earth isn’t it? If the point Is to fly off to a spiritual realm forever what’s the point of the general resurrection? By the way, as an agnostic I find the idea of not existing worse than the possibility of being bored forever. Boredom after all isn’t some basic fact of reality, but merely a psychological response to external circumstances. Funny enough, I often have had this argument with atheists who the idea of eternal life would inherently be terrible
*** Correction, The bible doe not say God has white wooly hair. It states his hair was white like wool. Which means the color was white(pure) not the texture
I used to study with the JW, I would like to subscribe back to Catholicism since its my traditional religion but I just can't get with the notion of heaven and hell, there is no justice in burning someone for all eternity for a few years of sin, a notion that is nowhere to be found in the old testament but sounds more like Greek mythology. God made Adam and Eve in a paradise on Earth for Humans to live forever on Earth, so why would he abandon that original plan ? It just makes more sense.
@larysnw418 Do you have any actual evidence for your claim? "Actually, since hellfire and the doctrine of the "immortal soul" are both unscriptural, they make the only sense." The immortal soul is biblical (2 Cor 5:8-10) "It was assimilated by the RCC centuries ago, then later the Orthodox church and Protestantism and used to control people and swindle them." The Orthodox church came first, you troll.
Please help me. I was baptised a Catholic through my own will as an adult but I’m having a hard time understanding that Jesus is God. How can he be God if he talked to the father whilst on earth? When I hear Jesus was with God. How can he be with God if he is God?
JN. 1:1. "And Jesus (the Word) was with God and the word was God. Jesus is God but within the God head there are three persons, Father, Son, And Holy Spirit. Think of it like a 3-leaf clover. There are 3 distinct leafs but only one flower. So the father and the son and the Holy Spirit are distinct from each other in person, but one God in nature. Does that help?
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Sorry but that analogy only serves to represent the falseness of the trinity doctrine!! 3-leaf clover. "There are 3 distinct leafs but only one flower" You fail to mention that each leaf would be fully flower just as Father, Son and HG are are each fully God but only one God. How does one even make sense of this? It seems your own cohort vehemently disagrees on it's usage... Here is Mat Fradd(Catholic Apologis and Speakert): The Catechism teaches that, “The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons, the ‘consubstantial Trinity’. The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire: ‘The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, i.e. by nature one God.’ In the words of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), “Each of the persons is that supreme reality, viz., the divine substance, essence or nature.” (CCC 253) The reason I don’t use the three-leaf clover as a teaching aid to explain the trinity is that it has a fatal flaw; namely, it has parts! God does not. Jesus (or the Spirit, or the Father) is not three a part of God, he is God “whole and entire.” Tritheism The three-leaf clover can therefore mislead a person, especially a child, into falling into the heresy of Tritheism. Tritheism was (and is) a heresy which taught that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were three distinct Gods who shared a similar nature rather than the truth of there being one God in three persons who share an identical nature.
@@jahtruthdefender "the falseness of the trinity doctrine!!" There is no falseness of the trinity doctrine. 200 AD Tertullian "Never did any angel descend for the purpose of being crucified, of tasting death, and of rising again from the dead." (The Flesh of Christ, ch 6) 200 AD Tertullian "All the Scriptures give clear proof of the Trinity, and it is from these that our principle is deduced...the distinction of the Trinity is quite clearly displayed." (Against Praxeas, ch 11) 200 AD Tertullian "The origins of both his substances display him as man and as God: from the one, born, and from the other, not born" (The Flesh of Christ, 5:6-7). 200 AD Tertullian "[God speaks in the plural 'Let us make man in our image'] because already there was attached to Him his Son, a second person, his own Word, and a third, the Spirit in the Word....one substance in three coherent persons. He was at once the Father, the Son, and the Spirit." (Against Praxeas, ch 12) 200 AD Tertullian "Thus the connection of the Father in the Son, and of the Son in the Paraclete, produces three coherent Persons, who are yet distinct One from Another. These Three are, one essence, not one Person, as it is said, 'I and my Father are One' [John 10:30], in respect of unity of Being not singularity of number" (Against Praxeas, 25) 200 AD Tertullian "As if in this way also one were not All, in that All are of One, by unity (that is) of substance; while the mystery of the dispensation is still guarded, which distributes the Unity into a Trinity, placing in their order the three Persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost: three, however, not in condition, but in degree; not in substance, but in form; not in power, but in aspect; yet of one substance, and of one condition, and of one power, inasmuch as He is one God, from whom these degrees and forms and aspects are reckoned, under the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." (Against Praxeas, by Tertullian) 200 AD Tertullian "So too, that which has come forth out of God is at once God and the Son of God; and the two are one.... In his birth he is God and man united." (Apology, ch 21) 200 AD Tertullian "There is one only God, but under the following dispensation, or oikonomia, as it is called, that this one only God has also a Son, His Word, who proceeded from Himself, by whom all things were made, and without whom nothing was made. Him we believe to have been sent by the Father into the Virgin, and to have been born of her - being both Man and God, the Son of Man and the Son of God, and to have been called by the name of Jesus Christ; we believe Him to have suffered, died, and been buried, according to the Scriptures, and, after He had been raised again by the Father and taken back to heaven, to be sitting at the right hand of the Father, and that He will come to judge the quick and the dead; who sent also from heaven from the Father, according to His own promise, the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete, the sanctifier of the faith of those who believe in the Father, and in the Son, and in the Holy Ghost. That this rule of faith has come down to us from the beginning of the gospel, even before any of the older heretics." (Against Praxeas, ch 2) 200 AD Tertullian "That there are two Gods and two Lords, however, is a statement which we will never allow to issue from our mouth; not as if the Father and the Son were not God, nor the Spirit God, and each of them God; but formerly two were spoken of as Gods and two as Lords, so that when Christ would come, he might both be acknowledged as God and be called Lord, because he is the Son of him who is both God and Lord" (Against Praxeas 13:6) 200 AD Tertullian "The Spirit is God, and the Word is God, because proceeding from God, but yet is not actually the very same as He from whom He proceeds.." (Against Praxeas, ch 26) 200 AD Tertullian "For He could not have been the Father previous to the Son, nor a judge previous to sin" (Against Hermogones, Ch 3) 200 AD Tertullian "He will be God, and the Word - the Son of God. We see plainly the twofold state, which is not confounded, but conjoined in One Person - Jesus, God and Man.." (Against Praxeas, ch 27) 200 AD Tertullian "God alone is without sin. The only man who is without sin is Christ; for Christ is also God" (The Soul 41:3) 200 AD Tertullian "We do indeed believe that there is only one God, but we believe that under this dispensation, or, as we say, oikonomia, there is also a Son of this one only God, his Word, who proceeded from him and through whom all things were made and without whom nothing was made. . . . We believe he was sent down by the Father, in accord with his own promise, the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the Sanctifier of the faith of those who believe in the Father and the Son, and in the Holy Spirit. . . . this rule of faith has been present since the beginning of the Gospel, before even the earlier heretics" ... "And at the same time the mystery of the oikonomia is safeguarded, for the unity is distributed in a Trinity. Placed in order, the Three are the Father, Son, and Spirit. They are three, however, not in condition, but in degree; not in Being, but in form; not in power, but in kind; of one Being, however, and one condition and one power, because he is one God of whom degrees and forms and kinds are taken into account in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (Against Praxeas 2). 200 AD Tertullian "While keeping to this demurrer always, there must, nevertheless, be place for reviewing for the sake of the instruction and protection of various persons. Otherwise it might seem that each perverse opinion is not examined but simply prejudged and condemned. This is especially so in the case of the present heresy [Sabellianism], which considers itself to have the pure truth when it supposes that one cannot believe in the one only God in any way other than by saying that Father, Son, and Spirit are the selfsame person. As if one were not all . . . through the unity of substance" (Against Praxeas 2:3-4)
@larysnw418 He is God. "The trinity belief(3 gods in one) was a pagan belief." The trinity teaches that God is 3 persons in 1 God. It was a Jewish belief (Benjamin sommor). "In 325 C.E. Roman Emperor Constantine approved of it(the trinity) and later, Roman Emperor Theodosius officially established the RCC." There is no evidence for this claim. 200 AD Tertullian "Never did any angel descend for the purpose of being crucified, of tasting death, and of rising again from the dead." (The Flesh of Christ, ch 6) 200 AD Tertullian "All the Scriptures give clear proof of the Trinity, and it is from these that our principle is deduced...the distinction of the Trinity is quite clearly displayed." (Against Praxeas, ch 11) 200 AD Tertullian "The origins of both his substances display him as man and as God: from the one, born, and from the other, not born" (The Flesh of Christ, 5:6-7). 200 AD Tertullian "[God speaks in the plural 'Let us make man in our image'] because already there was attached to Him his Son, a second person, his own Word, and a third, the Spirit in the Word....one substance in three coherent persons. He was at once the Father, the Son, and the Spirit." (Against Praxeas, ch 12) 200 AD Tertullian "Thus the connection of the Father in the Son, and of the Son in the Paraclete, produces three coherent Persons, who are yet distinct One from Another. These Three are, one essence, not one Person, as it is said, 'I and my Father are One' [John 10:30], in respect of unity of Being not singularity of number" (Against Praxeas, 25) 200 AD Tertullian "As if in this way also one were not All, in that All are of One, by unity (that is) of substance; while the mystery of the dispensation is still guarded, which distributes the Unity into a Trinity, placing in their order the three Persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost: three, however, not in condition, but in degree; not in substance, but in form; not in power, but in aspect; yet of one substance, and of one condition, and of one power, inasmuch as He is one God, from whom these degrees and forms and aspects are reckoned, under the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." (Against Praxeas, by Tertullian) 200 AD Tertullian "So too, that which has come forth out of God is at once God and the Son of God; and the two are one.... In his birth he is God and man united." (Apology, ch 21) 200 AD Tertullian "There is one only God, but under the following dispensation, or oikonomia, as it is called, that this one only God has also a Son, His Word, who proceeded from Himself, by whom all things were made, and without whom nothing was made. Him we believe to have been sent by the Father into the Virgin, and to have been born of her - being both Man and God, the Son of Man and the Son of God, and to have been called by the name of Jesus Christ; we believe Him to have suffered, died, and been buried, according to the Scriptures, and, after He had been raised again by the Father and taken back to heaven, to be sitting at the right hand of the Father, and that He will come to judge the quick and the dead; who sent also from heaven from the Father, according to His own promise, the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete, the sanctifier of the faith of those who believe in the Father, and in the Son, and in the Holy Ghost. That this rule of faith has come down to us from the beginning of the gospel, even before any of the older heretics." (Against Praxeas, ch 2) 200 AD Tertullian "That there are two Gods and two Lords, however, is a statement which we will never allow to issue from our mouth; not as if the Father and the Son were not God, nor the Spirit God, and each of them God; but formerly two were spoken of as Gods and two as Lords, so that when Christ would come, he might both be acknowledged as God and be called Lord, because he is the Son of him who is both God and Lord" (Against Praxeas 13:6) 200 AD Tertullian "The Spirit is God, and the Word is God, because proceeding from God, but yet is not actually the very same as He from whom He proceeds.." (Against Praxeas, ch 26) 200 AD Tertullian "For He could not have been the Father previous to the Son, nor a judge previous to sin" (Against Hermogones, Ch 3) 200 AD Tertullian "He will be God, and the Word - the Son of God. We see plainly the twofold state, which is not confounded, but conjoined in One Person - Jesus, God and Man.." (Against Praxeas, ch 27) 200 AD Tertullian "God alone is without sin. The only man who is without sin is Christ; for Christ is also God" (The Soul 41:3) 200 AD Tertullian "We do indeed believe that there is only one God, but we believe that under this dispensation, or, as we say, oikonomia, there is also a Son of this one only God, his Word, who proceeded from him and through whom all things were made and without whom nothing was made. . . . We believe he was sent down by the Father, in accord with his own promise, the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the Sanctifier of the faith of those who believe in the Father and the Son, and in the Holy Spirit. . . . this rule of faith has been present since the beginning of the Gospel, before even the earlier heretics" ... "And at the same time the mystery of the oikonomia is safeguarded, for the unity is distributed in a Trinity. Placed in order, the Three are the Father, Son, and Spirit. They are three, however, not in condition, but in degree; not in Being, but in form; not in power, but in kind; of one Being, however, and one condition and one power, because he is one God of whom degrees and forms and kinds are taken into account in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (Against Praxeas 2). 200 AD Tertullian "While keeping to this demurrer always, there must, nevertheless, be place for reviewing for the sake of the instruction and protection of various persons. Otherwise it might seem that each perverse opinion is not examined but simply prejudged and condemned. This is especially so in the case of the present heresy [Sabellianism], which considers itself to have the pure truth when it supposes that one cannot believe in the one only God in any way other than by saying that Father, Son, and Spirit are the selfsame person. As if one were not all . . . through the unity of substance" (Against Praxeas 2:3-4) "Over time, the Orthodox church and Protestant denominations endorsed it, as well." The orthodox church started first. So, you need to do some real research. "This doctrine is believed by millions of members of these religions despite the absence of any biblical support and its' history." Despite its backing from biblical support and its' history (Christian in origin.

So happy for you!

Very sad!
Many ex-JWs are forced to come back because they can't live being shunned by their families and friends. Remember many of them are born in the organization or joined very young and only hung around with other Jws. They have no outside support. Many of them have committed suicide. Many will remain inside the organization eventhough they don't believe what they teach because they know they will "lose everything". It's really sad.

Thank you, thank you Brian. As jw myself at the moment, but trying to carefully extract myself from this mind controlling organization, I so appreciate this video. I'm not out yet, because of family, and when I am out, I will be shunned. The members have no choice if they want to keep their own network. A person can be shunned for not shunning an exjw, even family. This video is so important. Please keep exposing them for what they are. Having said that, I must add, that any and all negative attention they get, is simply considered to be Satan attacking them because of being correct in their eyes, because Jesus said His true followers would be hated. So they claim this as evidence of being the "Truth". Again, thank you Brian, and peace be with you. 🙏
Thank you for your comment. May God bless you on your journey and guide you and give you strength to follow him at all costs. Its SO hard with family. We will certainly pray for you. If we can be of help, please let us know. God bless. Stay in touch!
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thank you so much for your very encouraging reply. God bless you. 🙏
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We alll need patience and prudence everyday in living and confessing the faith.

It's about finding the right relation between the fourth commandment and Mt 10,37 - I don't know whether there is a general rule which would be valid in all particular circumstances. Praying for you! 🙏🏻 Jesus will show you a way - He *is* the way

May the Lord, through all His faithful on earth, the Virgin Mother and all the angels and Saints, strengthen you on your journey!
@J. M. Well, thank you. I wish to encourage you to please read your Bible. Without the magazine's. Yes, jw's believe that they are reading their Bible. I thought I was. Read the whole book of John, to start with, by itself in it's entirety. Also, when you see terms such as "seems that", "must have ", "possibly ", "would have", in the magazine articles or in talks, this is pure speculation on the part of the governing body of jw's. Also, they never spell out what "lies" apostates supposedly tell. They won't tell the brotherhood about the Australian Royal Commission and CSA in Jehovah's Witnesses. That is not apostate material. I did not wake up from so called "apostate " material. I woke up during last year's Regional convention with a member of the governing body of jw's lying to viewers about what the Bible teaches, during a talk. I know my Bible. I know what it teaches and what it does not teach. God's word warns us to "make sure of all things". For decades as a jw I didn't do that, I just "swallowed " being "spoon fed". Please, always make sure for yourself. Peace be with you.
I grew up with my mother being a JW, my father who was a Catholic and the rest of my family were Protestant.... needless to say I grew up very confused about religion since they exposed me to all of them. I kind of mixed all of the beliefs together and didn't fully understand what was what. I'm now 35 trying to seek the truth after falling away from Christianity. Thank you Catholic Truth for helping me on my journey. Your videos are wonderful ❤
Our pleasure! I'm glad we could be of help. If you haven't seen this video yet, I think it would interest you.
Thank you for sharing this . I was born Catholic raised Catholic and I’ll die Catholic . Go’s bless you .
I remember I once went to a Johova Witness hall after my friend kept insisting. Once inside the guy up on the microphone said "we have a special guest today, she comes from the Catholic church" (meaning me) then proceeded to inform everyone to pray for me so I could be saves from the evils of the catholic church.
My internal voice: ohhhhh boy 😫 here we go....
Wow! That's bold. I'm sure that made you want to convert. Haha.
I am so sorry.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial LOL oh no way. But those were the longest two hours of my life 😫😂
Oh I bet!!
"we have a special guest today, she comes from the Catholic church" (meaning me) then proceeded to inform everyone to pray for me so I could be saves from the evils of the catholic church."
Pure fiction, as that is not how JWs work!
I was a third generation "witness"
God has blessed me so much since i left.
Amen amen! Praise be to God!
I am from Philippines and a proud catholic.
Or blessed! :)
Be proud that your god torture in hell. I used to be a jw, now I'm agnostic now. The bible is bullshit
@@regendoocon5931 anyone that argues that hell is bad doesn't understand it's purpose. You can cuss out the Bible all you want but that won't make you correct. Hell is obviously a very scary place, but with Jesus we don't have to fear it for we are promised Salvation if we believe, keep the commandments, and do His great works. Hell is for people that chose to deny God and NEVER chose to repent.(People who ALWAYS chose to hate God) I personally believe God is very merciful (in fact, I know God is merciful because if He wasn't, this sinful world wouldn't exist anymore!) I, as with all Catholics, believe in Purgatory too, where we will become pure and then enter into Heaven. No one is perfect and Jesus isn't going to send us all to hell, even some of us who may not have gotten to know Him enough and may have not even ended up turning to God I believe will be spared. I don't know in what way, be it more time in Purgatory or what, but God is so great and merciful. We shouldn't test or take advantage of His mercy though. You've said something very bad about the Bible (which holds Jesus' Will). All I can tell you is to seek Jesus and ask for forgiveness! Everyone sins, God doesn't discriminate! Call upon His name, and your sins shall be forgiven friend!
Perhaps, even if someone denied God their whole life, if they cry out and ask Him for forgiveness in the final days of Earth (maybe even on judgement day) that person might be saved. Obviously I can not know for certain, but I know 1)God is merciful, and loves us all and 2)Condemning people isn't right, only God can judge.
@@James-do3ct thank you james. Your doing a great job in exposing the untruths and lies of the cults out there. Perhaps you could scrutinize your beliefs and your own religion as well.
I have relatives who are one. Sadly they where former Catholics but converted ever since their grandmother allowed Jehovahs witnesses to live with them since they where from the same province. Sadly they didn’t want their grand children to have blood transfusion good thing is father of the child was Catholic but a non practicing one.
Love from the Philippines!
For most of my adult life I have tried to help active JWs see the truth of who God is. After about an hour of discussion with me on the subject of the deity of our Lord, they always flee. Keep praying for these people! On a positive note, I know of some wonderful and beautiful souls who discovered the lies of Watch Tower and left the cult. They are being shunned by their immediate family. I pray also for them. 😊
We KNOW who God is, people like you have a pagan trinity that is a FALSE god that doesn't exist. Jesus is NOT God; without the approval and direction of the Father, Jesus can't do a thing on his own! The JW's have the correct understanding of the Scriptures, YOU DON"T.
All you have learned are the doctrines of the church you attend that are Catholic doctrines the Protestants kept when they split from Catholicism. Those beliefs are taken from PAGAN religions which is undeniable, it's a fact. So you have no basis to dispute JW beliefs since your own beliefs are wrong!
My sister died due to her refusal of blood transfusion. Since she was not married, she left a little boy and grew up without her. I am so bitter.
I love your videos! Thank you!
Glad you like them! God bless you. Thanks for watching.
Just want to thank you again because my line of work I’m a caregiver and I go to the elderly and take care of them and the lady I was taking care of live with her sister and well she was napping her sister started talking to me about God and then I quickly found out that she was a Jehovah witness and thanks to your videos and what you went through help me navigate my way out Soi wouldn’t be trapped in a corner
And the sad thing was she was a former Catholic 😔
Most Jehovah's Witnesses are !
Thank you for the knowledge.
That part that it is okay to have questions and doubts was one of the best pieces of advice from the confirmation retreat volunteers (back in 2010) - to feel free to search for answers and ultimately it will most likely lead us back - which was so useful for me before initial college years with existentialism.
Thank you for your amazing and informative videos! I love to listen to them and share them to my family and friends.
Always enjoy listening to you Bryan.
God bless you for bringing us so much knowledge especially for people they are leaving our church and then they go against us
: I think you confuse knowledge with ignorance.
I had a good friend, RIP, who asked a JW if she was one who was going to heaven and she, Virginia, joined their church and was holier than her and took her (JW) place in heaven what would happen to her. They suddenly were late for something and had to leave. They never came back! LMBO
I could not stop laughing 😆 LMBO good one ☝️

Did you ever look up the faith mission? It is in some rural areas in the uk and republic of Ireland. They have a centre near where I live. Just curious about their differences to our Catholic religion as one of our neighbours attends it.
Loved this video. Another of my neighbours is part of the Jehovah Witnesses, she was church of Ireland with her husband who is still church of Ireland.
I myself would never leave the Catholic faith.
If you live in the local town which we used too a good few times each week you had Jehovah Witnesses calling to the house with a copy of the Watch Tower to try and get you to join their faith.
In our nearest city at the bus station they have a huge sign promoting their religion.
My mother is a Jehovah Witness and it’s very frustrating to our family when she forces her religion upon our family. My family and I are Catholic and she lived with us approximately five years ago. It was a very tense experience. My daughter was given a portrait of the Virgin Mary for graduating from Catholic school. She became unhinged because we had the portrait in the house. She told us that it was demonic and that she couldn’t continue living with us as long as that picture was in her house. She asked us to live with her because she was concerned about living alone. We made the sacrifice for her and she turned that experience into a living hell.
So so sorry to hear that. Please keep praying for her. We will say a prayer for it all too. We have other JW videos also if you are interested.
God bless you and your family always for evangelizing the one and only church founded by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Tell that to the Orthodox Church.
@@gerryquinn5578 Orthodox is Catholic. And there is Roman. They were once ONE and they split. Read church history from beginning
@@englishrose6627 : 'Catholic' means universal . However, as the Apostles and disciples of Jesus spread the 'gospel', Christian communities were set up, quickly spreading throughout the empire within a few decades. When we read the NT documents, it is apparent that 'false teachers tried to spread divisiions. Paul warned of these. John tells us that he was being resisted. Jesus himself, in the gospels, taught this. With the death of the Apostles, the apostasy warned by all was a real danger. Christian communities were by now well established . With the destruction of Jersusalem in AD 70, the mother Church was destroyed and various centres competed for authority and control in the following decades. There was no Roman Catholic Church. There was no central control, certainly not from Rome.
You should read the NT as well as Church history.
I'm an ex JW and just to clarify - we never believed anyone who believes in the trinity is "evil". I like your videos and I left for several reasons including me thinking some of their beliefs are strange... but I just thought I'd point this out. They don't view anyone as "evil". And no, they wouldn't be allowed to watch this video. Regarding the soul, we did believe in the soul, but believed we are one, we don't have one.
If Jesus Christ and Michael the Archangel are the same person, then why did Michael the Archangel say in Jude 1:7 (with his dispute with the devil about Moses body) Michael said: "The LORD rebuke you". In other words, Michael deferred to The Lord (Jesus) for the rebuke of the devil. (Jude 1:6-9) In addition, the writer of Hebrews (Apostle Paul?) clearly states that The "Son" (Jesus Christ) is not an Angel (Heb. 1:5)
Exactly!
Easy, they added “Jehovah” to that Jude verse so it says: “May Jehovah* rebuke you.” And there’s a footnote taking you to the appendix which gives reasons why they decided to add “Jehovah” like 200 times to the NT.
I would add that Mary was the New Ark of the Covenant. She held the Word within her. The Ark was not to be touched. It was a sacred vessel. You would not use it as a storage device for non-sacred objects. Also, back when I was a Protestant, I would usually be confused when I read Mary's confusion at the angel's assertion that she would become pregnant. After all, she was engaged to be married. But if you understand that she had taken a vow of celibacy you can easily see why she was confused. This is when the angel assured her that the Holy Spirit would overshadow her.
Bryan I just….. anytime I feel bad that I fell into Protestantism especially southern Baptist, I quickly realize there are worse cult like sects of false religions. So in that regard, you made me feel better again!!
Don't look to the past, just look forward! :)
Brother Brian an aunt of mine nearly died because she converted to JW. She had an accident and refuses transfusion. My mom had to chastise her into allowing the doctor to administer aid to her. I myself know 3 JW friends committing suicide. Something nentally off with them bro. I teached out to two of them, but still they sufferred depression. So sad.
My gosh, that is absolutely heartbreaking. I'm sorry you had to witness all that pain. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless
If you watch videos by ex-Jehova Witnesses they will tell you so many of them suffer from depression and sadly many take their own lives. I never knew this until I started watching videos from them and this theme is basically in almost every single video.
@@marcihf217 coz a key teaching in their group is that it is near the end, thus np need to study, work and toil for judgment day is at hand. Remember they had 2 or 3 failed prophesies of the second coming. My fruends did not try to finishe school nor work. All they did was go from house to house spreading their lies. This prompted them to take their lives when they finally realized all is lost coz they did not prepare for their future..
@@gracianomendoza8671 Yes, this is so true sadly.
Sadly, my uncle, a good Roman Catholic, died despite taking lots of blood transfusions. So what does that prove? Many people who commit suicide have come from a Roman catholic background and we forever hear about 'Catholic Guilt'. Many atheists also commit suicide. Does that mean there is something 'mentally off' with them too ? Perhaps that is the point.
Im here here to learn☺️

First of all I would like to remind you I’m publishing this video on events from the Life of St John Bosco once a week, on the weekend. You can post comments, express ideas, put questions and ask for prayers. My purpose in publishing these videos is not only to narrate in detail episodes from the splendid life of Don Bosco, but also to help you grow closer to God, to arrive at a perfect love of God. Remember that if we depart from this world with a perfect love of God, we go straight to heaven. This is possible by God’s grace
i love this one. thank you for your work!
Excellent explanation. Please go in-depth in another video as to more detailed differences. The more information about contradictions with the true faith , the more leverage those open to leave the JW will have to find the truth. God bless you Bryan.
Thanks Brian, your videos are very true and inspiring. I'm saving your videos to share with my jw work colleague. God Bless you🙏
This is an awesome video, I'm so glad to be back in the Catholic Church!
"Should You Believe in the Trinity" booklet by the Watchtower is "out of print". When asked why it's not on their website, the woman repeated several times "it's out of print". That was the end of the discussion.
In reality, as this guy in the video stated, it is terrible research and used improper methodology. I suspect the reason it's not even on their website is because they have been exposed for their unprofessional research and false conclusions.
: With due respect, it is on their website and you can download it for free. Either use the search option or go to the Library section under older publications. I suspect that you are the one using improper methodology and drawing false conclusions.
In one of their old books, The Harp of God, watchtower claims that “the Christ” is Jesus AND the supposed “anointed class” of 144,000 in WT theology. They actually claim that Christ isn’t ONLY Jesus!!! What did Jesus say about ANYONE who claims to be Christ???
Sad that the JWs, along with the Seventh Day Adventist’s and Mormons are shunned if they question and leave. I live in Salt Lake Utah and I know many Mormons who don’t believe but are afraid to leave as they’ll lose their family as well as friends and associates.
I didn't know there was shunning in Mormonism. Thank you for sharing.
You're doing a great job explaining. I only know one JW and we did not get along. The more I learn about her religion, the more I feel like I need to pray for her conversion.
Thank you!
Another casualty of Bible-only Christianity....it's important to note that most heresies, JW included, base themselves on their particular reading of the Scriptures. That is why it is so important to have A Sacred Tradition that is inherited from ancient times, so you can say, 'that's an ingenious interpretation of the Scriptures, but it doesn't accord with the inherited understanding of the text, as inherited from the Patristic Fathers.' So the role of Sacred Tradition as umpire for these disputes cannot be overstated.
@@jennernolast6858 by whose interpretation? Of the 40k prot denominations who know the bible well, yet contradicts each other re: salvation, baptism, justification, etc. So unreasonable and confusing. Did Jesus leave us the bible we use today?

What earthly group gave the world the Bible that most Christians use to this day in some form or other?

Do u believe that group was inspired by God and had the authority to do it? How do u know? Who or wat did St. Paul said is the pillar and foundation of the truth? The bible...NOT! The CHURCH, singular, not plural. You have some growing up to do, get some wisdom and humility. Mother Catholic Church... young sanctimonious self-righteous young ens/baby Christians think they can school their elders.
But welcome to Catholic channels, keep showing how PROT are ignorant, intellectual dishonest, unreasonable, and misinformed. Keep (or get?) the love as Jesus has commanded. Jesus We Trust in You.
@@jennernolast6858 yup , the holy spirit is inside true faithful catholics . but when a catholic puts over his personal interpretation over the apostolic teachings and interpretations of the early church , he become a heretic .so heretics don't have holy . they have the spirit of the devil . god id not the author of confusion . therefore the inspiration that prots get are not from god .
Jenner, we don't even know what to say about you. Your comments are so... sad. Luke complied the Bible? No! Luke compiled his OWN Gospel. It was the Catholic Church who complied the Bible. You are conflating the two and will literally do _anything_ to try to hate on the Catholic Church even if your arguments don't make any sense.

How do you reconcile crystals being evil and using a computer which uses quartz crystal
How do reconcile crystals with evil but yet use a computer that uses quartz crystal as a conductor its very hypocritical. I dont believe in mining crystals myself but I think to call them evil is extreme. They are in the earth and God put them there for a reason.but
I dont believe in mining them as it wreaks havoc on environment
@@florrie8767 It's not evil when used as a tool, without undue focus being placed on supposed "healing powers" or alleged "spiritual powers" or whatever. It's not evil to use wood from trees to build a house. It is evil to worship a tree as you would worship God.
My in laws are JW. Not sure if anyone knows this but ever since covid started, JW are prohibited from hanging out with each other except your own family who you live with. Otherwise they can get in trouble. They are still doing all their meetings virtually. I mean the level of mind control is mind blowing.
It is all about control. They have ruined countless lives by their strict and insane scare tactics. Pray for them so that God will uncover their eyes. Unfortunately, people are scared to leave because of the backlash they receive.

Look at the lives ruined, cut short, murdered, families ripped apart...by the Catholic Church over the centuries, greed, avarice, apostasy, homosexual priests, nuns, bishops, Popes, power mad, blessing wars, starting wars with so-called holy crusades, one Pope even going into war, another sided with Modalism and another suspected of it...shall I go on!
A monstrous immoral church if ever there was one, and God is supposed to be with thd Catholic Church!!!!!
The Catholic Church is finished, her numbers dropping world wide, very few tsking so-called holy orders, churches closing down!
Anything you say to prop it up is a veneer, as part of Babylon the Great that great religious whore in the book of Revelation, thd Catholic Church is to be destroyed at Jehovah's command, as he pulls the strings of the political entities of the UN!
What a wonderous time that will be!
Where will you run to and hide, when your Catholic Church is forever gone, never to rise ever again!
: Yes'let's never allow a good story to get in the way of truth. LOL !
They are so so wrong, Thank you for this wonderful explication. God bless you
Glad it was helpful! God bless :)
Thank you Brian. I Love all your videos. May God bless you always for all your good work. Catholic all the way my brother until the day I die. 🎚🙏❤️
I remembered seeing those pamphlet with picture of their interpretation of paradise when I was a child. I was amazed to see them, good thing I didn’t get to carried aways and converted since I was a child.
ye. they have some extremely dedicated artists. I always loved the pictures as a kid, but I also know of a lot of people who were terrified by some of the art they made.
I woke up to the watchtower organization in 2019. I disassociated from the organization about two and a half years ago.
I work with a Jehovah's witness, I am slowly getting him to see the faulty interpretations from the watchtower organization. But he like many others are so blinded by there beliefs
💯
@larysnw418 well , the main one is there 1914 generation doctrine. This generation has come and gone by a long shot so they have invented a overlapping generation. How is this possible. In a few years there are going to be some very dissolutioned people
@larysnw418 if both of these events happened in 1914 it goes to show something very different going on with the interpretation of what Jesus was talking about this generation. Those apostles saw the events of what happened in there generation. The watchtower organization interpretation has to ADD another generation to save face. 110 years compared to 40 years tells you there is a big difference in the time frame of a generation. The way David Splane explained it in his video could allow for 40 more years by his own reasoning. Then what. A failed prophecy and the wrong way in how to interpret scripture as the watchtower consistently does. They read the Bible as if it is a novel which only leads to singular arguments. You are correct about the apostles having a misguided understanding of acts 1 vs 6 but at that time they were still learning. It was not until the holy spirit came that they had the knowledge that Jesus promised them as the helper
In 10 years time would you still consider yourself to be a Jehovah's witness. Too many are starting to wake up that maybe Armageddon is not going to happen in accordance with the watchtower organization policy. From an observational perspective the Jehovah's witnesses look like a fantastic religion but as you study more you can clearly see there views are misinformed. As a group of men interpreting scripture around a table is all you get is a man's interpretation and that is fine if you want to join a country club. The Catholic and orthodox teachings have been passed down by means of the apostles, church fathers and down to us today. It is the continuity from christ himself.
@larysnw418 Charles says that 1914 was armageddon.
"and the beginning of Christs' invisible presence."
1874 was the "beginning of Christs' invisible presence."
"But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble. Zion's Watch Tower 1894 Jul 15 p.226
Thank you for your videos.I found them last night and am so excited all The Catholic teaching u explain alot in 1 video.I do have to ask a couple questions I have about the Bible and was wondering if u or someone Catholic I'm able to ask in private .Tytyty I'm so excited to learn the truth.I was so confused.
“Like Tom here, do you like to be in a Jehovah's Witness and he was doing well there, but he realized that it has false doctrines and a faulty theology and was started by a man and not Jesus Christ.”
Reply,
“… but he realized that it has false doctrines and a faulty theology…”
Take one example!
I was a Catholic for over 20 years and still have my Catholic catechisms, a large one and the other, a pocket size one with a red cover, 1971 edition and says:
Q “How is my soul like unto God?”
A “My soul is like unto God because it is a spirit and immortal”
Q “Why do you mean that my soul is immortal?”
A “By immortal, I mean that my soul can never die”
So, this is Catholic dogma/theology.
Yet, without burdening the readers with what the original Greek and Hebrew says on the matter of the soul and even what your own Catholic scholars and other authorities have to say also, your own Catholic Douay Bible flatly contradicts your own Catholic dogma/theology, yet, both are from the same Catholic church!
Let me refresh your memory!
Texts from the Catholic Douay Bible
Gen 2:7
“And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.”
Here, man (like the animals) became a living soul; only when God breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life and the body became animated, that Adam then became a living soul, he did not possess one, he was one; the difference between being a dog and having a dog!
Gen 3:19
“In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return?”
The person Adam with a single centre of consciousness, a living soul, was made from the dust of the earth, and because of his deliberate rebellion against his Creator, God, his wages for his sin was the death sentence, when he died, where did the onetime living soul called Adam go to?
“…thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return?”
The bible is very clear, the living soul, Adam in time died and went back to the dust from where he was taken! The bible, nowhere mentions that any kind of so-called spiritual or spirit part of man continues to exist after his death, the complete person the soul Adam died and his flesh perished, decomposed…back to dust!
The bible also tells us that a Hebrew was not to touch a dead soul, lest he be unclean…and that, also a soul can, eat meat, sweat and thirst, be stuck with the sword, faint, also that a soul can die, be destroyed, be saved:
Ezek 18:4, 20
“4 Behold all souls are mine: as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, the same shall die.”
“20 The soul that sinneth, the same shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and the father shall not bear the iniquity of the son: the justice of the just shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.”
Math 10:28
“And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell.”
Whatever one wants to think what the soul is, the fact is, that it can be destroyed!
James 5:20
“He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.”
By now, you must realise what is going on here, your Catholic catechism says one thing, that the soul is a spirit and is immortal, yet, your own Catholic Douay Bible says the opposite!
Q How can the Catholic Church be both right and wrong, simultaneously?
How is immortality defined?
John 5:26
“For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself”
“life in himself”?
Immortality is that special and unique quality of life, such as that possessed of the Father, that it is self-generating, it cannot die, or be made subject to death, cannot be made subject to corrosion, be dissolved, be made subject to any kind of corruption…! Thus, if man does have an immortal soul, as Catholics and others say, as per their dogma/theology, then the above texts that a soul can die, be destroyed, be saved would be utterly meaningless!
Catholics have embroiled themselves in their own contradiction and cannot see it, it has to be pointed out to them by an apologist JW!
And this single example of your self-contradictory Catholic dogma/theology is what the ex-JW apostate “Tom” has gone over to!
Additional information for any Catholic who should happen to read the above.
(From my research notes):
In the Bible, “soul” is translated from the Hebrew neʹphesh and the Greek psy·kheʹ. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. To many persons, however, “soul” means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body. Others understand it to be the principle of life. But these latter views are not Bible teachings.
Do other scholars who are not Jehovah’s Witnesses acknowledge that this is what the Bible says the soul is?
New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967):
“There is no dichotomy [division] of body and soul in the O[ld] T[estament]. The Israelite saw things concretely, in their totality, and thus he considered men as persons and not as composites. The term nepeš [neʹphesh], though translated by our word soul, never means soul as distinct from the body or the individual person. . . . The term [psy·kheʹ] is the N[ew] T[estament] word corresponding with nepeš. It can mean the principle of life, life itself, or the living being.”-New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967), Vol. XIII, pp. 449, 450.
The New Encyclopædia Britannica (1976):
“The Hebrew term for ‘soul’ (nefesh, that which breathes) was used by Moses . . . , signifying an ‘animated being’ and applicable equally to nonhuman beings. . . . New Testament usage of psychē (‘soul’) was comparable to nefesh.”-The New Encyclopædia Britannica (1976), Macropædia, Vol. 15, p. 152.
The Jewish Encyclopedia (1910):
“The belief that the soul continues its existence after the dissolution of the body is a matter of philosophical or theological speculation rather than of simple faith, and is accordingly nowhere expressly taught in Holy Scripture.”-The Jewish Encyclopedia (1910), Vol. VI, p. 564.
And lastly:
What is the origin of Christendom’s belief in an immaterial, immortal soul?
“The Christian concept of a spiritual soul created by God and infused into the body at conception to make man a living whole is the fruit of a long development in Christian philosophy. Only with Origen [died c. 254 C.E.] in the East and St. Augustine [died 430 C.E.] in the West was the soul established as a spiritual substance and a philosophical concept formed of its nature. . . . His [Augustine’s] doctrine . . . owed much (including some shortcomings) to Neoplatonism.”-New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967), Vol. XIII, pp. 452, 454.
“The concept of immortality is a product of Greek thinking, whereas the hope of a resurrection belongs to Jewish thought. . . . Following Alexander’s conquests Judaism gradually absorbed Greek concepts.”-Dictionnaire Encyclopédique de la Bible (Valence, France; 1935), edited by Alexandre Westphal, Vol. 2, p. 557.
“Immortality of the soul is a Greek notion formed in ancient mystery cults and elaborated by the philosopher Plato.”-Presbyterian Life, May 1, 1970, p. 35.
“Do we believe that there is such a thing as death? . . . Is it not the separation of soul and body? And to be dead is the completion of this; when the soul exists in herself, and is released from the body and the body is released from the soul, what is this but death? . . . And does the soul admit of death? No. Then the soul is immortal? Yes.”-Plato’s “Phaedo,” Secs. 64, 105, as published in Great Books of the Western World (1952), edited by R. M. Hutchins, Vol. 7, pp. 223, 245, 246.
“The problem of immortality, we have seen, engaged the serious attention of the Babylonian theologians. . . . Neither the people nor the leaders of religious thought ever faced the possibility of the total annihilation of what once was called into existence. Death was a passage to another kind of life.”-The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria (Boston, 1898), M. Jastrow, Jr., p. 556.
Really, you and the apostate ex-JW Tom don’t have a leg to stand on!
You’re welcome to him!
What you also fail to mention to readers, is that, literally tens of thousands of Catholics each year abandon the Catholic Church to embrace the biblical God and his son Jesus and reject your metaphysical Platonic ones, no wonder the Catholic Church in Italy is concerned about its members abandoning the biggest part of Babylon the Great, the Mother of the religious Harlots!
And, that was only on one teaching, dogma/theology of the Catholic, so-called immortality of the soul! Your own bible exposes such a lie!
My whole family and cousins etc are Jehovah's Witnesses, i was born into it and now im a converted Catholic. Its so hard to show them evidence and how wrong and false their religion is and my family just shun me and now my dad won't even talk to me anymore because of it.
Sorry to hear that. If you haven't heard this man's conversion story, you should. He's a former Jehovah's witness who has brought countless Witnesses out of the Watchtower. He's a Catholic. th-cam.com/video/AIAgtiFNdXo/w-d-xo.html
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I shall check it out, thanks Bryan once again. 🙂
I had a friend who was a Jehovah’s Witness and I didn’t agree with his decision but he went to the hospital and asked me to inform the doctor that he was not to have a blood transfusion should something happen to him I sat in the waiting room and just pray to God that he would not need one and come out OK mind you I don’t think I really knew much about my faith but I will take that that a prayer was answered at that time he explained to me that the veins bring the nutrition therefore it was eatingAlso stating that medicine is given through the veins so that would be equivalent to eating I still think God that he did not need a blood transfusion that day but I probably would’ve had to say nothing and probably break a promise I am grateful that I did not have to make that choice and yes God answers prayers when needed
This is all very fascinating as a Catholic. Some of these beliefs remind me of some of the variations on the Christian faith before constantine. The ebionites for example. Wild.
I got a book of Mormon ad during this video. Go figure.
Most sense I have heard for a while.
I I have had JW's tell me they don't celebrate holidays because "they live by the Bible" and these holidays aren't in it. Well, what about the things in the Bible that they don't do? When do they offer the annual sin and thank offerings? I've never seen that and I'd to. Where do they get a spotless lamb (sheep or goat) for the sacrifices? Do they eat pork or shellfish? The Bible says we're not supposed to.
Thank you for puttung the true light to JW’s belief. Like you said we’re not making fun of their beliefs. In fact, we want pulled them out of deceitfulness that Jesus Christ is just an angel. Where we all know as Christian foundation, Jesus Christ is the only way the truth and the life only way to get to God. In Jesus Christ is God himself in the form of the flesh so that he can relate to what human Goes through every day life.
Thank you for video. I'm catholic and autistic. I had jw.write to me I replied just to find how she got my name. Then i got ill and she helped me but now can't get rid . I believed what she said at first as I'm literal but did my own research and so many things I dont agree with. I agree with some things such as not going to war but shunning your family or children is not very forgiving is it. She keeps bashing catholics calling it pagan. And about paedophilia in catholic church my dad was abused in catholic school and was atheist.i only found out after he died as he told his sister converted back but my mum was catholic had me raised as catholic but I never bashed JW. Yes and I learnt about abuse in JW too. I find it hard to verbally express or respond due to auditory processing difficulty.
Very good for you for researching and standing up for yourself. Good job. Feel free to check out our other videos on Jehovah's Witnesses also which will help you.
Greetings florrie! I too am Catholic and have much family in the JW organization and have much info i could share if you are interested. My family and I have parted ways and they have finally left me alone after much refutations of their rhetoric.
Peace!!!
Keep it up
It is very dangerous to fill your mind with a load of false teaching of sects which you know to be false. Know your own beliefs so that when someone tries to change your mind you can send them 'packing'. The problem is when you are holding beliefs which are unscriptural yourself, then you are easily swayed.
That's why most JWs are ex-Catholics.
Hi Brian,l managed to escape the cult but jus one thing l was always taught that Jesus is the son of God.Another thing we were taught is that we were good for nothing slaves unless part of the 144000.Higher education and chasing a career was also discouraged.l was taught not to think too highly of myself,always thinking l was beneath everyone and so behaved that way.l have been severely damaged along with so many others and it wrecked our lives.This is definitely a cult.l am now considered an apostate which is apparently the worst thing on earth.These are high control tactics n although l escaped the damage is done and l live in fear.
Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for your comment. Sorry you have been so hurt and damaged. Our prayers for healing are with you. If we can be of help in any way, please let us know. God bless you.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thank you so much x
The whole JW cult is Apostate
Religion should not be free from criticism, it should be encouraged. Otherwise, as you said, people's health and life could be at risk of their religion is holding them back from advancements in healthcare and education.
5:20 Anyone who lies is not pure. Changing scripture is lying. The Devil is the Father of Lies.
Most semi-Christian sects (all 40,000 of them) have some insanities in their "beliefs".
10:30 very true: resurrecting to a perennial life on this Earth will get boring after the first couple of millenia! They literally believe in "Hotel California"
That is a great way to put it!
there is another thing about minute 9:27, they also belive that God talks directly to them, indirectly they behave like God is residing in governing body and orders governing body what to do and what not to do.
A question for Ripcord. Why do you run away when anytime you get challenged?
Sadly a lot of "Catholics" nowadays seem to also believe in a "Paradise Earth" as the ultimate goal. Insofar as they believe in heaven they just assume everyone goes there and certainly don't believe in hell (except of course if you're a "meanie") or Purgatory.
I've been meeting with one who is trying to get me to his kingdom hall. No teaching me about salvation through faith, just trying to get me to kingdom hall. I have been dueling with him about doctrine. I've been giving him a lot of references to helll in the bible. After 12 or so hours talking and discussing he showed me a scripture about being wary of false teachers. I said you think I am a false teacher? He said yes thats why I showed you that. I guess that's their go to when you reveal flaws in their theology and they don't have scripture to rebut. I don't know if I'll see him again. We'll see.
The Episcopal and Lutheran Churches teach that Homosexuality is NOT a sin, especially those in "long term committed" relationships.
Confessional Lutherans do not teach that, only those who reject the Book of Concord do.
@@paru-chinbaka5214 Whatever. It doesn't matter. Most Lutherans are very nice people, but have seen enough to know I want nothing to do with the Lutheran Church and it's teachings. Good luck to you.
My cousin turned away from Catholic faith to Jehovah's Witness. I don't know much about JW so thank you for making this video and that 1 hour long one about JW's history and belief. I am not sure if it's appropriate to share these videos with him. I am currently invited to his wedding next month and I am not sure how to interact with JWs as it will be my first time and all these facts at the back of my mind that I wanted them to know. 😅
Amen!!!
Thanks, Jacob! God bless :)
Thank you so much for this video very informative. I'm Catholic and have been informing myself about them because my sister married someone whos whole family is JW and also my husband's Aunt is JW. A channel I've enjoyed is Lloyd Evans channel he is exJW with wonderful informative content. I truly appreciate your video on this and Have been Learning so much about my catholic Faith here on this channel Thank you.oh I also have a very evangelical pentecostal mother in law yikes a mix huh 🤣
Quite a mix. Good for you for researching and studying your faith. Keep watching your videos, they will definitely help you with that. We even had a debate on here with an ex-catholic who became Pentecostal. It's a full debate if you're interested. Probably from about 4 months ago. God bless. Keep up the good work. Keep the faith.
First of all I would like to remind you I’m publishing this video on events from the Life of St John Bosco once a week, on the weekend. You can post comments, express ideas, put questions and ask for prayers. My purpose in publishing these videos is not only to narrate in detail episodes from the splendid life of Don Bosco, but also to help you grow closer to God, to arrive at a perfect love of God. Remember that if we depart from this world with a perfect love of God, we go straight to heaven. This is possible by God’s grace
Because you have never been a JW you are in the best position to wake them up.
I was born-in and it was Scriptures read in context that woke me up, Praise the Most High.
JWs won't talk to ex-JWs and get suspicious of current JWs asking questions. Anything negative about the history of the Organization they connect with "apostates".
But JWs are trained to answer sincere questions from those they consider 'unbelievers' (aka anyone that's never been a JW.)
So my best advice if you want to help them wake up is to know your Bible and ask a question they can't answer.
I was a Catholic for over 20 years, born and bread, always listened to my Catholic priests and that is all I knew, that is, until I grew older and started my studies in Greek, Greek philosophy, Patristics and much more, when old enough I confronted my local priests with my finding on certain Catholic doctrines, which I proved to my priests were borrowed pagan teachings, re-dressed to look biblical, but in reality had no biblical basis at all, even the late respected Cardinal John henry Newman admits as much in his "Essays"!
Here is one example on the "Soul"?
I still have my Catholic Catechisms (one a pocket size from the 1970s and the other a larger more indepth one!
In my pocket size Catechism for example it says that the soul is a spirit and is immortal and cannot dies, yet my Catholic Douay says the direct opposite and says it can die!
How would you reconcile one with the other, especially since both are by the same Catholic Church and that the Pope on matters of doctrine cannot err!
@@andrewgraham9940 you are all over the map!
The soul cannot die and nowhere in the any Christian bible does it say that it can.
As for the pope cannot err in doctrine??
Where did you get that?
You might need to replace that with the Pope, when speaking Ex Cathedra and consultation with the curia, while speaking on faith and morals is taken to be inspired by the holy spirit.
I solved the problem with jw coming to my door,and my mom told them we are roman catholics.
so mom took thier magazine with politeness. but i had 2 men come and they wanted me to accept a free viewing invitation to see some presentation. but i said no thank you i do not beleive in jws. and they keep trying.and i said i don't believe in the jws. and they left me with a funny look and puzzlement. and now no more jw coming to our house. i know sounds mean,but i did what i had to do. and yes pray for the ingorant faiths out there and hopefully they will see the real truth about God. good video! :)
You should do a vedio on the Palmarian church as it's considers it's the truth Catholic church.
Odd church.
Shinya,
Thanks for your suggestion! I watched a couple videos of them...yikes!
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I ment it considerts itself the true Catholic church.
God is going to judge us invidually. There is a lot of good people in JW. Reminder let's be careful not to be anti or prejudice towards them but love them. But yes I agree there interpretation is I say "different"
in 8:10 you mentioned about 144000, there is another thing about it: memorial eating is not to remember Jesus, it is about to celebrate Governing body's holiness (JW belives that 144000 are holy people selected by God and they will rule the erth and they are choosen from among governing body of jw.
It's not the same. But for years I believed it was. It was such a damaging experience it took me 11 years to deprogram and come back home to the catholic church.
🙌🙏 Praise God you did though. So many people never get out. Glad you found your way home!
Well to be fair, excommunication from the RCC used to be very serious.
The Bible doesn’t say ONLY 144,000 go to Heaven. That’s like saying spiritual beings live in the sprint world so they are ONLY in the spirit world.
God gave Doctors a gift to save lives.
And what is so evil or horrendous about Mother's Day, Christmas, Easter, or birthdays? Sure would hate to be a kid having to grow up in that den of vipers....
Indeed!
I like your content, but I have a nitpick. “Equivocal” means mistaken, not equal to. I believe the word you were searching for when saying “equivocal to drinking blood” is “equating with drinking blood.”
Thank you. Humble mistake. :)
@@CatholicTruthOfficial no problem. God bless you.
This was more of a crash course, since a lot of information was brought up but not enough time to really address things or even quote actual sources.
Correct. We could break each one of these things down in great detail, but it would take a very long time. This was the summary version.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial in my experience with dealing with JWs, there are two categories of doctrines to distinguish: core doctrines versus tangential doctrines. Though "Tangential Doctrines" are still dogma, they are not really what the religion is about, the TDs are mostly there to add uniqueness to the religion to help it stand out from other "denominations". This is where transfusions, holidays, birthdays, and even the Trinity fall into for the JW. The JWs use these TDs as a way to be easily recognized since they don't want to be seen as just another form of Christianity. In my experience, it is largely a waste of time to spend too much effort on the TDs, because the JW isn't really concerned about them, and their religion would still substantially exist even if they began to allow transfusions, holidays, using the name "Jehovah", etc. The JWs really only attack the Trinity as a way of shaking the faith of weak Christians, and when their faith is shaken then they are far more open to hearing the JW message. It would be like if you refute Sola Scriptura, then a Protestant's whole world is shaken and he is now better disposed to accept what other things the Catholic has to say. The Trinity is an easy doctrine to attack because most Christians don't know how to easily properly defend it like they should. JWs don't mind wasting time on TDs because they know there's not much risk and that you will get tired out first.
So if Catholics want to be truly effective, they must focus their energy on the Core Essentials, which the JWs are most concerned about, and which they are not really able to defend since they aren't built to defend these CEs. The chief doctrine in the mind of every JW is that the Bible is a prophetic book that tells us when Jesus will return, and that since they are the only ones who honestly studied the Bible they were able to determine that *Jesus was to return within our own lifetime* hence the literal timeframe of Jesus returning within "one generation" of 1914AD. They claim that since all other "Christian" groups didn't realize the massive prophecy that *Jesus was returning literally any moment to establish God's kingdom and restore paradise to earth* means these other "Christian" groups aren't credible in interpreting the Bible, only the JWs are credible. And the JWs further discredit mainstream Christianity the JWs often point out how most of us downplay/ignore Biblical prophecy, and invent whacky doctrines like the Trinity and Hellfire. So Catholics must focus the bulk of their energy on CE things like (1) how 1914 cannot genuinely be derived from the Bible, (2) how it's been over 100 years since 1914 and thus their prediction is rapidly losing credibility, (3) that their interpretation of "end times" texts about signs to look for like Matthew 24 and Revelation 12 are blatantly problematic, (4) and especially that Catholics take Biblical prophecy very seriously, especially the prophecy of Daniel 2. The Church Fathers point out Daniel ch2 blatantly predicts the Catholic Church would arise during the Roman Empire and grow to fill the whole world and never be destroyed. JWs freak out when you show Daniel 2 proves Catholicism. They aren't expecting Catholics to base their Catholicism so firmly on Biblical prophecy.
Failure to distinguish TD from CE doctrines is why JW apologetics has historically not been very effective. This is shown by the fact Catholic apologetics to JWs never focuses on Daniel 2, never addresses the JW spin on Revelation ch12 and Matthew 24. The modern JW doesn't care one bit about what Charles Russell said or that 1975 was a false prediction or what their magazine said in the 1950s, because that was a long time ago and because their CEs are still not being addressed and Catholics aren't taking back Biblical prophecy on the exegetical level. For example, we need to show the JWs the "war in heaven" in Revelation 12 cannot be referring to Satan being cast out in 1914AD so he could start up WW1 upon the earth.
Do you support patient blood management, and if so why?
Did you know some hospitals like Englewood have virtually eliminated the need for blood transfusions for all patients, which is now their standard practice, and they thank Jehovah's Witnesses for that.
See the videos:

The Birth of Bloodless - The Englewood Experience.
Where do they believe Satan exists if there's no hell?
They say he rules earth. I think its in bible too revelation
in minute 10:45 you mentioned sth that was always a question in my mind too, they always rejoince about living forever, but they never mention abou anything about seeing God and living with him. I thing this is kind of not fair, also Satan climed that human is depende on its body and physical need,
Keep exposing this cult. 👍
Thank you, Godly-Beard! Cool name too. unfortunately a lot of ex-Catholics get indoctrinated into this poisonous Arian Heretical sect. God bless :)
Revelation chapters 7 and 14 Mentions the 144.000 ,I Think That Reading the King James VERSION is AGood Idea Especially Exodus 6 :3 Isaiah 42 : 8 and Psalm 83:18 In the older Translations that Most Organizations used in the 1800s and 1900s !
But not that only 144,000 can go to heaven. First, they are only men who can go to heaven and virgins it says. So clearly symbolic of the 12 tribes of israel. And second, in Revelation 7, the very next verse is that all people of every nation are before God in heaven.
@ 10:38 You say you're "not excited" which is foolish in my opinion to think that way. As a Catholic, you should know, even mentioned in the Catechism and in the Book of Revelation, that after Jesus' return, there will be a New Heaven and New Earth. People don't want to die. God put eternity in our hearts, and that is mentioned in Ecclesiastes 3:10, 11 "10: I have seen the occupation that God has given to the sons of men to keep them occupied. 11: He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has even put eternity in their heart, yet mankind will never find out the work that the true God has made from start to finish." That scripture indicates that we could never be bored if life is forever on Earth.
I can easily refute him on the part about Jesus' bodily resurrection, because the Bible clearly says he was resurrected a spirit person after his death...so Jesus only materialised in fleshly human bodies with wound holes to strengthen the faith of his disciples after they were scattered when he was arrested, put on trial and then executed by the Roman soldiers.
Bible verse?
@@misterauctor7353 1 Peter 3:18 and Psalms 16:10 and 1 Corinthians 15:50 and Mark 16:12.
1 Peter 3:18 - "...he was being put to death in the flesh, but was made alive in the Spirit." 1 Corinthians 15:50 - "....flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God". This text by apostle Paul says that a body of Flesh and blood cannot live or exist in the heaven as only spirit creatures like God and the angels can. There is nothing in the bible about Jesus having a glorifieded human body in heaven, it was only invented by the Catholic church.

The RC church can never & never will give interpretation on book of Revelation especially the parts of Revelation 7 and Revelation 14:1 about the 144,000 who are they?
@larysnw418"BTW... answer."
The irony from you.
What do you think of the movie "silence"
We have not seen it, but we have heard that it's not good from trustworthy sources.
My grandfather once asked a visiting JW if they honor or salute the flag. He gave them 5 seconds to get off his porch and boy, let me tell you, he meant it. That was a good day.
"My grandfather once asked a visiting JW if they honor or salute the flag. He gave them 5 seconds to get off his porch"
That is called fanatic nationalism!
A similar question could be asked!
Would the early Christians have thrown a pinch of incense to the bust of Ceasar?
If they didn't, they were executed!
Should modern Christians salute a flag?, like incense is tantamount to rank idolatry!

@@andrewgraham6496 Best leave well enough alone. You made your point. You defended a man-made religious sect, based on lies, with no claim of authenticity, and devoid of truth. It attracts folks who are simpleminded, easily influenced and who question nothing. And, as you have obviously exhibited, they can be somewhat petty also.
I was born into a Catholic family, and then when I was 7, JW knocked on my parents door. My mom didn’t seem to have a good social structure, lost her own mom to death, was looking for answers. They love bombed her. I lost Christmas and birthdays and the rest of my family became “bad association.” They pointed to the paganism in Catholicism, they pointed to the name Jehovah, in the KJV, 4 times. they had their checklist of good characteristics that they focused on and their checklist of all the bad things other groups did, like go to war, get involved in politics, voting for worldly leaders rather than foe gods kingdom. Much of it made sense. But along with it, they provided community, and a social network that my mom, and then I, didn’t have. And so the brainwashing or child indoctrination began and it worked.
Half truths!
Isn’t the whole end of Revelation a new heavens and earth? The 2nd coming Is about Christ coming to earth isn’t it? If the point Is to fly off to a spiritual realm forever what’s the point of the general resurrection? By the way, as an agnostic I find the idea of not existing worse than the possibility of being bored forever. Boredom after all isn’t some basic fact of reality, but merely a psychological response to external circumstances. Funny enough, I often have had this argument with atheists who the idea of eternal life would inherently be terrible
*** Correction, The bible doe not say God has white wooly hair. It states his hair was white like wool. Which means the color was white(pure) not the texture
Iam an ex Jw , left 23 yrs ago but now saved in christ , you could say catholic in all but name.
So glad you were able to get out, and God gave you the grace to see and to hear and to follow his true word. May God bless you.
I used to study with the JW, I would like to subscribe back to Catholicism since its my traditional religion but I just can't get with the notion of heaven and hell, there is no justice in burning someone for all eternity for a few years of sin, a notion that is nowhere to be found in the old testament but sounds more like Greek mythology. God made Adam and Eve in a paradise on Earth for Humans to live forever on Earth, so why would he abandon that original plan ? It just makes more sense.
@larysnw418 Do you have any actual evidence for your claim?
"Actually, since hellfire and the doctrine of the "immortal soul" are both unscriptural, they make the only sense."
The immortal soul is biblical (2 Cor 5:8-10)
"It was assimilated by the RCC centuries ago, then later the Orthodox church and Protestantism and used to control people and swindle them."
The Orthodox church came first, you troll.
Please help me. I was baptised a Catholic through my own will as an adult but I’m having a hard time understanding that Jesus is God. How can he be God if he talked to the father whilst on earth? When I hear Jesus was with God. How can he be with God if he is God?
JN. 1:1. "And Jesus (the Word) was with God and the word was God. Jesus is God but within the God head there are three persons, Father, Son, And Holy Spirit. Think of it like a 3-leaf clover. There are 3 distinct leafs but only one flower. So the father and the son and the Holy Spirit are distinct from each other in person, but one God in nature. Does that help?
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Sorry but that analogy only serves to represent the falseness of the trinity doctrine!! 3-leaf clover. "There are 3 distinct leafs but only one flower" You fail to mention that each leaf would be fully flower just as Father, Son and HG are are each fully God but only one God. How does one even make sense of this? It seems your own cohort vehemently disagrees on it's usage...
Here is Mat Fradd(Catholic Apologis and Speakert): The Catechism teaches that, “The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons, the ‘consubstantial Trinity’.
The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire: ‘The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, i.e. by nature one God.’
In the words of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), “Each of the persons is that supreme reality, viz., the divine substance, essence or nature.” (CCC 253)
The reason I don’t use the three-leaf clover as a teaching aid to explain the trinity is that it has a fatal flaw; namely, it has parts! God does not. Jesus (or the Spirit, or the Father) is not three a part of God, he is God “whole and entire.”
Tritheism
The three-leaf clover can therefore mislead a person, especially a child, into falling into the heresy of Tritheism. Tritheism was (and is) a heresy which taught that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were three distinct Gods who shared a similar nature rather than the truth of there being one God in three persons who share an identical nature.
