      Good reference. Verse 27 is a powerful lesson for those 'coming out', like myself. We must remember that God can provide his spirit for us and the spirit needed to understand his will; if we but persist in prayer and personal Bible reading. He can place it on ANY who seek to worship him and "spirit and truth". We don't need an organization and a few self-proclaimed prophets to channel it to us!

      This is something I wish JWs understood. I know my 16 year old daughter and my parents, who are still in the religion, feel like I've left God which hurts more than anything. I made the decisions that I did to be CLOSER to God. So that a group of men and/or an organization no longer come between me and God. But they see it as my turning my back on Him 😔 very frustrating!

    I’m 21 years old, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve wondered why I’ve never felt truly happy or at peace in my religion. Now, I’m starting to understand why. It feels surreal to finally wake up, to see things clearly, while everyone around me is still so deeply immersed in this belief system. I’ve always had questions, ones that never seemed to have answers.. Why do we practice shunning? Why do the teachings keep changing to suit certain narratives? And why do we preach love and kindness, yet fail to genuinely show it to one another??
    The most haunting realization, though, is this: as a kid, if I ever needed a blood transfusion to save my life, my own parents would let me die rather than go against the rules. It’s heartbreaking to know that the value of my life is seen as secondary. And the number of hypocritical or cruel individuals I’ve encountered within the congregation has been overwhelming. I’ve met far more people who reflect poorly on the faith than those who live up to its supposed values, and that alone says so much. :/
    One memory stands out vividly. I was just a child (going through a whole lot) when an elder told me that if I didn’t do enough to serve, I would die in Armageddon. Imagine being a little kid and hearing that your life is conditional, not on love, not on inherent worth, but on doing “enough” to please an organization...
    Looking back, I can see now how much damage this religion has done to me, in ways I didn’t even realize before. It’s shocking and deeply saddening. But I’m also grateful for the videos and people who’ve shared their stories or help me understand why this religion is wrong in some ways because they’ve helped me wake up over the past month. Slowly but surely, I’m finding clarity.
    At the same time, stepping away feels so strange. I was born and raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, and the idea of life outside is scary. But despite that uncertainty, I feel hopeful! Thank you for this.

      Interesting comment. Im a JW myself of some 35 yrs though faded for past 12. Though JW leadership claim that Jehovah/Yahweh/ reveals "truth" to them at the appropriate time, its clear from the JW history and their long list of written literature (referred to as spiritual food) from late 1800's onwards, its quite clear that is NOT the case. The JW version of truth tends to vary and tomorrow's truth may not be today's truth yet JWs are required to accept all as "revealed truth" yet much of it has been discarded and no longer considered "truth". So the JW leadership are essentially undermining their own credibility. Anyway, be that as it may, God is the Ultimate Reality or as I would say, Ultimate reality is pure Intelligence which = God. This Intelligence runs the physical and non physical dimensions of reality but is itself separate from those dimensions. Im quite confident that whatever plan God has for man (and the planet) since man is created in "God's image" ( which means he was endowed with a degree of intelligence) , whatever plan God has will come to fruition at the designated time and man will live forever on earth as intended and will most likely travel the universe ( otherwise why have a universe so infinite if not for exploration?) . Read and meditate on the bible. I find a very good website is Borean Pickets. Check it out.

      That is what they intended to keep you trapped and isolated. That is one of cult ways to keep total control over their followers. Jesus even said his urgent was light, not encumbered a the Witnesses have made it be. Jesus ever filled out a time card. Believing in Jesus was our only Bibical requirement. Our works would not get us into heaven because it is grace alone that covers us. Their indoctrination goes DEEP. It is literal brainwashing. Learning their falsehoods through watching TH-cam videos debunking their teachings is the fast track out of their tangled web.

    I appreciate what you had to say in this video. It was really enlightening to me when I started pursuing spiritual food outside of the organization.
    When they did what they did in 2019 and 2020 it was the beginning of the end for me. I’m appreciative of what I learned while in the organization… I did learn a lot about the Bible, but what I learned was mixed with the falsehoods the watchtower organization developed to make themselves separate from other Christian faiths.
    I’m glad I am free from the foolishness. I believe in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who died that I might be forgiven of my sins. He became sin for us all and was resurrected three days later. By grace through faith in Jesus alone. It’s beautiful.

    Unfortunately, because humans are scarred by sin, there is no perfect denomination. Adventists also consider themselves a "special" people, but there are many faults with their policies as well. Their institutions...hospitals, universities, publishing houses etc do not live up to their high ideals. I resigned from their organisation several years ago, but one thing I don't regret, was reading the book "The Great Controversy". It provides a uniquely informative perspective of our origins and the reason why this earth is in the state it is. A truly wonderful read, I would recommend it to anyone, no matter what church you belong to.

Remember what the Philippian jailer asked Paul: “What must I do to be saved?” Paul answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.” This means to trust in, to have faith in the person of Jesus and you will be saved. Yes it’s that simple for us. It is Jesus who did the hard part.

The Helper is the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father. When he comes, he will tell about me." John 14-&15 "For us there is but ONE GOD, THE FATHER, from whom ALL THINGS came and for whom we exist. And there is but ONE LORD (owner), Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist." Cor 8:5 Jesus said, "I am going to MY GOD and YOUR GOD." John 20:17 We pray to our Father. The Son is not the Father but prays to "Our Father in heaven."

    "there is no where else to go" a paraphrase of Apostle Peters words to Jesus at John 6:68. JW's use this verse to make followers stay in, as outside is terrible. But, if we leave Watch Tower, why do we need to 'go anywhere'. We can choose to live the life we want to live and fill that life with people and activities that fulfill us.

      @Charliemed1000 I find Revelation 2:18 -24 to be quite comforting: Thyatira was in the grip of someone who claimed to be Jehovah’s channel and uttered prophesies that never came to fruition and misled many to commit spiritual adultery and act against their consciences. Jesus condemned the congregation for tolerating it, so he expected the congregation to act.
      Unfortunately it wasn’t good news for that false prophet and those who followed. He said “I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent… I am about to throw her into a sickbed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds. And I will kill her children with deadly plague”
      But he finishes with these comforting words “‘However, I say to the rest of you who are in Thy·a·tiʹra, all those who do not follow this teaching, those who did not get to know the so-called “deep things of Satan”: I am not putting on you any other burden. Just the same, hold fast to what you have until I come.”

    Thank you so much for this Video. I'm a new Subscriber. ABOUT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES:. Of all the Churches that are teaching things that are FALSE I’ve never heard of anyone whose FAMILIES are TORN APART for UNSCRIPTUAL reasons...Mothers can’t speak to daughters, Fathers can’t speak to Sons, etc…..I RESPECT everyone’s right to different believes, but when a Christian Organization teaches things that are NOT true about Christ...Saying that Jesus is not the MEDIATOR between God and humans, saying that Jesus Christ has already returned, that he returned In 1914...They tell people they have no Heavenly Hope if they are not a JW. An Organization telling people they are not to partake of the Emblems...To REJECT Jesus Ransom Sacrifice. Partaking is something Jesus instructed all TRUE FOLLOWERS of His to do. An Organization that is DESTROYING Lives with their constant Flip Flop teachings and peoples prospects for Salvation. This is an Organization that feels they are a SUBSTITUTE for Jesus Christ. They have taught people they were APPOINTED by Jesus Christ and they should TRUST the Governing Body like they TRUST Jesus Christ, then later on ADMIT they ARE NOT INSPIRED by God. Let’s not Forget all of their FALSE PROPHECIES. This is nothing more than a MAN MADE Organization that ONLY teaches people THEIR INTERPRETATION of the Bible which is why they use BOOKS, MAGAZINES, BROCHURES and PAMPHLETS. This is to BRAINWASH and INDOCTRINATE their INTERPRETATION of things….Not the Holy Spirits. Jesus made it very clear at John 8:31-32 “So Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, “If you continue to accept and obey MY teaching, you are REALLY my Followers. 32 You will know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH will SET you FREE.” People will be SET FREE from the UNSCRIPTURAL BURDENS placed upon them. Also, so many people feel TRAPPED in this Organization because it uses their Families and Friends as a WEAPON to KEEP people ENSNARED. Also, at Ephesians 5:11, it tells us to EXPOSE people of this Caliber. This is the reason I speak out on my Channel. I am not trying to DISRESPECT anyone’s religion, at the same time we are to Obey God as Ruler, rather than man, as noted at Acts 5:29….that includes Daughter or Son. Any group that encourage parents to let their children die, or let yourself die by NOT taking a life saving blood transfusion, or a group that is destroying families and marriages all over the world, a group that don’t properly protect children, along with having so many people committing suicide, they NEED TO LOCK these NUT JOBS up. They constantly violate HUMAN RIGHTS, so their rights should be VIOLATED. JW's do MORE HARM and DAMAGE than good. The Government NEEDS to continue to BAN and lock these HOMEWRECKERS up, and KEEP them LOCKED up for at least 12 years. They are already BANNED in 34 Countries. Google it for yourself at: “Countries Where Jehovah's Witnesses' Activities Are Banned” This Organization is literally HURTING and DESTROYING people and something NEEDS to be done about them Worldwide. Normally I would say the Government shouldn't get involved, but when you have EXTREMISTS like this Organization who are DESTROYING LIVES all over the world, the Government NEEDS to step in and take ACTION. They don't even preach and teach about JESUS....We are instructed in the BIBLE to preach and teach about the "GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM"...That's "JESUS reigning and RULING as KING". They preach and teach more about JEHOVAH than JESUS and that's NOT what JEHOVAH wants or INSTRUCTS us to do. They DON'T even know how to conduct a simple BIBLE STUDY....They conduct BOOK studies. Someone asked a JW can they just use the BIBLE and they were turned down because JW's want you to use their BOOKS because that's where the INDOCTRINATION (brain washing comes in). They may use the BIBLE, but they DON'T conduct BIBLE STUDIES.

    Your point at 2:40 is a great one! Also, recall in Mark 9:38-40 when the disciples wanted to toast those who were doing ministry in Jesus' name but didn't travel with the 12. Jesus told his disciples to leave them alone because they are for Him, not against Him. I love the fact that there are denominations that are very different from my own. We learn from our differences. The very spirit of Jesus is against the kind of self exclusive jargon of the JWs and points to them being a major cult and NOT A DENOMINATION OF CHRISTIANITY.

      @alcedo_kf 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @kathywimer8597 - Remember, Kathy, how Jesus addressed the individual faithful ones in those 7 congregations in Revelation 2 and 3? Watchtower paints a whiter than white image of their congregations, as if that would be some recommendation/proof that they are the 'truth'; but thats not what Jesus described in Revelation 2 and 3. It is the individual faithful ones that Jesus has his eyes on, wherever they stand in this apostate world. Those individuals allow themselves to be taught by the Holy Spirit, and this realisation is what moves them to be faithful, wherever, in this 'field' of the world they stand. They even shudder at the thought of bending a knee to any other but Christ. So, they fight the fine fight to be victorious in faith, whether alone or functioning with others. Its worth giving the Revelation account above some prayerful consideration in light of your question.
      It is Christ who is 'the way, the TRUTH and the life...', not men, not an organisation, not watchtower.
      I wish you the best.

    I always watch your videos. You are doing a great job. However, the Trinity doctrine is not biblical. I understand your point of view. I remain convinced that the Bible teaches that God is one God, and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, as He was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35, Matthew 1:20-23). Jesus is a man, Christ the rock is the Spirit, and God is spirit who dwelled fully in Jesus.
    Verses
    - Luke 1:35: "And the angel answered her, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.'"
    - Matthew 1:20-23: "But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit... Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which translated means, 'God with us.'"
    - Deuteronomy 6:4: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one."
    - Isaiah 44:6: "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides me."
    - John 4:24: "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
    - 1 Corinthians 10:4: "And all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ."
    - John 1:1-14: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."
    Additional Verses
    - Matthew 3:17: "And behold, a voice out of the heavens said, 'This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.'"
    - John 14:9-11: "Jesus said to him, 'Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father '? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me?'"
    - Colossians 2:9: "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form."

The trinity is one on the biggest deceptions of christianity. All denominations that except the trinity teach the same thing, that the Father,Son and Holy Spirit are co-equal and co-eternal. If this is the case then how is Jesus the Son of God? they will tell you he is a metaphorical Son and a metaphorical Father, denying the Sonship of Christ making this teaching anti-Christ. Undserstand the bible teaches Christ is the literal Son of God. He is beggotton, first born as well as brought forth, meaning He as a begining. Jesus Divinty comes from His Birthright as the literal Son of God. The Holy Spirit is the omnipresence of the Father(Psalms 139:7) God is both Spirit and He as physical form as Daniel tells us.

    there are several reasons why members decide to remain in the WT religion. having no place to go, is like admitting, that if there was a place to go, the ship would empty. probably true. i can think of two passages in scripture that suggest alternative paths to acceptable spirituality. one where j e s u s said of those who were preaching him, but not following with his disciples. m a r k 9:38 and the apostle p a u l's words at 1 c o r i n t h i a n s 11:19 . yes, there must be one faith, one hope, one baptism ... but this could be understood generally. evidence for this is in the second century, where often the congregations disagreed with one another, and yet they remained unified and friendly, even dying in the arena together. these congregations had as their presbyters, those who were guided by the apostles themselves. the WT religion has long stated that these congregations were in the beginning of the great apostasy, but i am not so sure. the WT religion also praises certain groups over time like the l o l l a r d s, john w y c l i f f e, henry gross ... groups and persons who would not fit the WT understanding today, a constantly changing understanding by the way. i doubt that there is any exclusive group before God. and this is why. religion today is cultural and geographical. if you are born into a faith category, you will leave this life the same way, with very few exceptions. this is true of every major faith group. WT increases have always been at the expense of other denominations in the same faith category, again, with few exceptions. this was not true of early c h r i s t i a n i t y, which broke down all cultural and geographical barriers. also, to suggest that everyone born to a different major faith group is automatically an enemy of God is non sensical. did not not God say of c y r u s 'you are my son'? is it not written that God is searching the planet to help those whose heart is complete towards him? being born into a major faith category different from c h r i s t i a n i t y does not automatically make you a servant of s a t a n, just as being born into c h r i s t i a n i t y does not automatically make you a servant of God. i would argue that God's people are in every major faith category, and even among those who do not acknowledge him at all. the great tribulation, when it gets here, will sort it all out. going to be a lot of surprises as j e s u s begins the selection process. one in the field taken, and the other left behind. until then there is one place to go, for c h r i s t i a n s. 'i am the way, the truth, and the life. no one comes to the father except through me.'

    Thank you so much for another great video!
    As an ex JW and now a new born christian i'm so grateful for the True gospel!
    I tried to share this with my sister who is still a JW and also tried to outreach to her ( for example the video's of Mike Winger and theology with Seth were very helpfull )
    She doesn't want to listen to anything i'm saving, although i only use their material to show her that so many of the JW teachings are false etc.
    I know only the holy spirit will be able to open up her mind and heart..
    Do you maybe have more suggestions in how to maybe reach her?
    Thank you in advance! Valerie from Holland

    Adam (man) is both male and female. The God of this world (ego mind) controls the temple, the heart and soul of who I am... the heart is the one crying out in the wilderness to be heard.

    • @achildofthelight4725
      @achildofthelight4725 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @Palmstreet-u7x Biblically, GOD masculine, Earth feminine. Adam is made in the image of the two, spiritual mind and carnal mind.
      Genesis one, man is fruitful and multiplying.
      Genesis two, no man to till the land, to bring order to the land, to seperate, to be a mediator.
      When Adam is seen (God knows the heart and thoughts) not to have a help meat, he is then put into sleep mode, where his shown how man's own desires leads to man's falling from the glory of GOD.
      Eve is the feminine image of Adam, who breathes life into the world, she is the heart and soul of the man, yet never gets to be heard, crying from within the wild beast.

      A man can be deceived into doing something good... by telling them not to do it. 😉
      By eating from the tree they saw that they, not themselves, were naked... meaning, they see only the outer flesh which is unfruitful, but not whats on the inside, the fruits of a heart of gold, naked (blind) to the eye of the beholder.

    I left JWs 8 years ago. I want to believe in God, I really do but I remember that god from
    The old testaments is cruel, revengeful, blood thirsty, unreasonable. I remember that he was fine with slavery, wars, polygamy. Women had to marry their r*pists. And so on. I live without religion and without hope. I can’t even watch news anymore because I feel so depressed. I can’t pray as I did before for those who suffer, I no longer believe that evil people will be punished and good people will be rewarded. I wish I believed in god and had a relationship with him but being JW, studying Bible made me an atheist

    • @faithhopefuture
      @faithhopefuture  5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for watching my video. I recommend you read the gospels again prayerfully. Put aside everything JWs ever taught you. Take a fresh look. Might surprise you. As for Old Testament, it’s meant to be crazy to show we needed Jesus. However I will address in future videos some of those concerns.

      @krokato5821 - I walked away from watchtower about 20 years ago. I struggled for a good while, alone. I decided no more faith. In time, the dust settled and I decided to look again; and without the filters of watchtower.
      Do you know something that I became aware of that helped? I realised, as God is Spirit, I had to change how I viewed Him; I came to understand that to the person walking by the flesh, the things of God are missed, not seen or understood. In fact, to the physical person, the things of God appear foolish. No wonder the Scriptures urge the walking by the spirit. This is when things change; begin to fall in to place.
      Think of the subject of mathematics and physics; for the full nature of these subjects to be grasped, it takes the mind of a mathematician or physicist to harness the principles and laws and to 'see' them, despite them being invisible.
      Similarly, the things of God need to be discerned with the mind of one prepared to look deeper, beyond the seeming obvious, in to the things of the spirit.
      I then decided, that humans are fickle; and that fickle nature does not and cannot stop the guaranteed Will of God from being carried out. Paul said that Jesus is the YES to all of Gods Promises. Jesus, not some charlatan organisation, is 'the way, the TRUTH and the life....'. Jesus is the promised seed of Genesis 3:15; and by his victory over this world and death, he will, at the right time crush the head of the evil one, when he returns. And he promised to return.
      Jesus also came to lift those who were so mistreated, it was as though they were a smoldering wick. And for such ones, he cares dearly. He knows our pains and that is why he invites us to 'Come to me all you who are toiling and loaded down.....'.
      I hope one day, you may feel moved to let the Holy Spirit begin its work on your heart; that is when the real teaching begins. Its beautiful, its calming and so very reassuring.
      I wish you the best. You are not alone. And remember, He's actually not that far away from any one of us, if we truly wish to find him.
      Take care.

    Most who leave eventually leave God altogether, as is there is nowhere else to go.
    No one else is teaching the truths as to who God is, his name, his purpose, the Kingdom on earth, the Ransom and that the trinity, hellfire and immortality of the soul are false doctrines.
    Are JW perfect?
    Of course not, and neither were the ancient Israelites.
    But both JW and Ancient Israel served a purpose in God’s plan.
    JW purpose is Mt 24:14

      Hi Craig, unfortunately the more you read the Bible the more you realise JW teachings are far removed from what it says. And although there isn’t a perfect faith group out there, many are way closer to Biblical truth and have the Holy Spirit evident. If you have been a Jehovah’s witness for any length of time you wouldn’t know what’s out there. You aren’t allowed to visit or search elsewhere.

    • @ramrod576
      @ramrod576 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I left JWs. Then I left the idea of a Christian god altogether. The Bible god is a murderer. He shouldn't be worshipped any More than Odin or Zeus.
      Jws have never taught truth they teach doctrine. That's it. Truth to JWs is just whatever the governing body makes up... It changes often.
      Recall jw truth was that organ transplants were cannibalism. This deadly false teaching was taught by JWs for a decade killing who knows how many. It's not the truth. It's brainwash.

    • @craiglittle7367
      @craiglittle7367 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @
      I searched for many years for truth, Faith….and I found the truth and it’s taught by Jehovah’s people.
      Unfortunately, many born into the truth, such as yourself, have little experience in the world.
      JW are right about the spirit of the world.
      Again, are JW perfect?
      Absolutely not.
      They make mistakes like all human beings do.
      However, God is using them to accomplish his purpose, as he did the ancient Israelites, and that purpose is to fulfill Mt 24:14.
      There is only one group of people honestly doing their best to live like Jesus taught his followers to live, found throughout the inhabited earth, and preaching the Kingdom as a real government, and it’s Jehovah’s Witnesses.

      @craiglittle7367 how are Mormons not accomplishing Matt 24'14? They are as much as JWs are and are twice as big and 10 times as wealthy. Seems like Jehovah's been blessing them better than JWs.
      In reality there is absolutely no truth in beliefs. You need faith that it's true... That's not how the real world works. I'm glad it brings you comfort. It did to for me as well. But in the end JWs are a high control social club. A cult. Nothing more.
      Admitting JWs aren't perfect doesn't jive with being a one true religion.
      Answer me 1 question: what is false religion? Try to define it without saying something jws do or have done.
      Why is it important that people bring awareness to be this cult? Because child abuse is being covered up by JWs, you have deadly teachings and you shun people until they kill themselves. Like Stephen Letts nephew. JWs are EVIL.

    Oh my gosh, I was just talking to my husband last night about this topic and I remembered that scripture about Jesus saying you can identify them by their fruits. What a coincidence. Yes, their “fruits” are rotten. My husband and I are both retired from the public school system. One thing we noticed was that when ANY incident occurred that either threatened or harmed the welfare of a child, immediately we were notified and very shortly afterward, we had not just written memos but had meetings that instructed all of us how a new policy was being implemented because of the incident. We were clearly instructed how to implement these new protective policies in order to prevent another occurrence in order to help us be aware and protect the students. The school was constantly watching out for prevention of harm and subsequent litigation. I told my husband that this analogy shows how deficient and negligent this organization is concerning CSA. No new policies or procedures after decades of reported abuse and lawsuits? I picture the account of Jesus overturning the money changers tables. How much angrier would Jesus be at watching child sex abuse being covered up? At the GB refusing to release their secret database to authorities? (Romans 13?) How can they claim that Jehovah is directing them based on this alone? Rotten fruits!

    Hello Faith Hope Future, lovely video you made. I am looking for a Church to go to myself but still havent been able to find one. I wasn't ever a JW but used to attend a Pentecostal church but I left that denomination. I want to join a true bible believing church but all the ones I have checked out just are not :( I am very stuck on what else to do. May God bless you xx
