Jehovah continues to love and blesses all of us regardless! The CULT that bears my father Jehovah's name is one of. many ungodly organizations that has been misleading Jehovah's people! We show more power, strength, endurance, and healing when we COLLECTIVELY speak the truth about our continued personal relationship with Jehovah and how Jehovah is still blessing us versus constantly speaking up the CULT misguided ungodly doctrines!! Jehovah is bringing down the CULT quietly, but persistently! TRUST AND BELIEVE!! Jehovah will conquer thee, so I will faithfully lay in wait! Join me in praising Jehovah and publicly speaking about God's goodness while he battle for us!! The CULT is so busy with Satan work that they don't recognize they are at war with Jehovah and they will get out of my father's house!! KNOCK KNOCK!
I recently wrote a fight song for Jehovah and I am in need of music and singers if interested. I am not seeking any monetary reward. Thanks sisters and brothers!
Real JW without the CULT of it's not for reward then (and I'm not accusing you off anything here of course) but i think that you should keep it off of the web. keep it to your friends or family. be as far separate from the hypocrites that Jesus pointed out. they would do things in public to get people to see them. not saying that that's why you're doing it but it may come off as insincere to some. we serve Jehovah from the heart and for him, not fit anyone else !!
@@danielflecha4154 I am lifetime witness for Jehovah only and I am no parts of that sick twisted SELF ANOINTED FEAR MONGERING CULT!! My family left the CULT in my late teens and I will be 60 later this year. I maintained my personal private constant relationship with Jehovah my entire life!! Oh that CULT will stop prophesying in my father's name!!! Jehovah is exposing and bringing down the CULT and other misleading religions quietly but surely for misrepresenting his ministry and deliberately harming and misleading Jehovah's people!! I stand proudly and bodly for Jehovah!! Jehovah has provided very well for me my entire and Jehovah has been ordering my steps my entire life!! Jehovah provided me with the song!! KNOCK KNOCK!!
A person can't be a JW and a celebrity at the same time, it's too impossible. You will either dedicate your life to Jehovah or dedicate your life to the world, you can't dedicate your life to both.
My neighbors are Jehovah’s Witnesses. I am gay and I live with my husband. When I became very sick they would come and bring us food. That was the most Christian thing I’ve seen a “Christian” do. When our friends start to complain about Christians I always tell them leave the Jehovah witness is out of this they practice what god taught.
Commenting here is "Wolf Among Sheep"-a very apt name based on his/her content...a name bespeaking his own disposition. Anyone familiar with the Bible and it's light regarding the two animals of his name, knows it speaks much more highly of a sheep's character traits than a wolf! Clearly this is an apostate-
I’m gay, I was kicked out when I came out. Gay witnesses are expected to be celibate and are treated differently despite not acting on their desires. It’s sad to say that the face they put on and what they actually are like when you’re in it is insanely different
JWs aren't going door to door "looking for converts". The only objective is to discuss the Bible and help people (that want help) to better learn what is in the bible so that they can make informed decisions about their spirituality.
@@Sto79Be I dont know where you get that info from..its Jehovah God who wants you to come and take life's water free..to be Followers not converts..we are only following Jesus command..Scriptually...Jesus told his followers to “make disciples of people of all the nations.” (Matthew 28:19, 20) When he sent out his early disciples, Jesus directed them to go to the homes of the people. (Matthew 10:7, 11-13) After Jesus’ death, first-century Christians continued to spread their message both “publicly and from house to house.” (Acts 5:42; 20:20) We follow the example of those early Christians and find that the door-to-door ministry is a good way to reach people. But it is up to You to accept a bible study or not..you are not forced..it is voluntary.
@@gmhall551 you're also teaching the lie that Jesus returned in invisibly in 1914...and chose your religion in 1919. I'd stop doing that....Jesus warned about those teaching lies/false dates in the last days.
Being an active Jehovah’s Witness is very different than being associated or affiliated with Jehovah’s Witnesses! This video is ill informed and misleading, do better!
I agree. People say it's a "cult". But can you leave a cult? No. You can decide if the religion isn't right for you and leave. And trust me they're not gonna try to hunt you down to kill you like a cult would.
@Macarena M8’s it's not a cult. And I would know because I am studying as a Jehovah's witness. Your boss will not fire you. And your family is still aloud to talk to you at certain extents.
We can speak to ppl outside the religion, just not those who may be a bad influence. The only case ur family can't talk to u if u get disfellowshipped which only happens of u do something REALLY bad.
Jaida Franzen Really bad? Like thinking for yourself and questioning mistakes in their beliefs? Other cults shun members who call out their BS too. You could of easily been raised in a different cult and you’d be backing members being punished in the same way
“Beliefs vary among individuals”.... I find that highly irresponsible to say. That is misinformation and a clear misrepresentation of the organization. In fact, they are very united in their beliefs globally.
People complain about them while the only time i met them was when i was rushing to get to take an exam in school and a girl stopped me and said "i see you are in hurry so here is something to brighten your day" and she gave me a brochure. Later i saw it was jehovas witnesses. I thought that was sweet of her
From my experience, They’re very humble people In fact earlier this year, when my dad passed away they volunteered to help me with his funeral arrangements and even gave me a job. And to top it all off I had only met them a few weeks prior. No strings attached 🙏🙏 update Feb 2020: im surprised this thread is still going 😳 lol. well i had some car problems recently. engine completely blew out. didnt know what to do....im a full time employee + full time student. I NEED a car.well guess who came to my rescue again...Jehovah witnesses... they helped me find an AMAZING deal on a car with barely any mileage + brand new engine. say what you want about the "EVIL" jehovah witnesses but they're good in my book. for the record i still havent gone to a single meeting but i think i may attend their memorial this year 🙂
No string attached is not entirely true. it's a ploy for you to convert to make you feel that you are family and obligated to be one of them. it has been used for thousands of years by religious Institution to the point that it went out of control. be it deep religious doctrine like the Nazis or forced christian conversion by the Spanish conquistadors. you may say I'm going extreme with that type of reference. But kindly show me one religious Society currently today or any point in history that are equal and fair? it took something like the French Revolution to have a little bit of equality by separating church and state. thing is you only have one life in this world. if you want to believe in such nonsense it is your choice but do not impose your belief upon others and especially in society as a whole. you would say my comments is ignorant but I can say to you that you should know better than anyone else because questioning the word of God that is written by man is blasphemy if you don't see the irony in that you're no different than the jihadist Muslims or any deeply religious sect for that matter.
SpeedWolf who hurt you ? Lol they didn’t make me feel obligated to do anything. In fact just a month ago they helped fixed my mom’s car and patched a hole in my roof FOR FREE. And still they haven’t asked me to do anything. The only thing they’ve ASKED is if I want a free home bible study. I kindly told them not right now and they said ok. That was BEFORE they patched the hole in my roof Maybe you had a bad experience but the local Jehovah witnesses in Florida have been extremely empathetic to me and have nothing but my upmost respect 🙏
@Boy Slim That is the problem when someone is in denial you can't convince them otherwise. you are no exception. I'm just pointing out the intention in their part. If you choose to ignore the warning and believe it not to be so. that is entirely up to you to decide. that it's something that religious people doesn't allow for you to make your own decision. May you have a good day.
@daniel flecha Would you mind to donate blood? Would you do a blood transfusion to save someone in your flock? your religious believe is a very backward mindset. you said that you don't expect anything in return but what happen if that person that you help is gay will you help him/her to begin with? I don't like when religious people such as yourself think that you have morality. just because you might have good intentions doesn't mean your church that you represent does and everyone in it. how I can make you understand you are one of them. you cannot even question your faith because by doing so you be shunned by the church and excommunicated by everyone that you know that are a member of your church. You only have one life in this world. you want to waste it on that. that is your choice. If you do something good just to be good is fine but if you're doing it because of God tell you to be a good person then you're doing something for your church to manipulate people to join your flock. This have been done for thousands of years and the people who are being used for the manipulation don't even know that they're manipulated.
@@evieandelijah884 How many years has she been an unbaptized member? In those years she has never had a bible study about fornication? How can make such an ignorant statement as she didn't know when a 5 yr old without bible studies knows that wasn't right. Proverbs 17:15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD
Corrections, Prince did become and remained a JW till his death, the Wagons mother was a JW: the boys are not, Rocha is a JW, the Williams are not. They believe but are not members. Howard is not a JW. In order to be classified as a JW, you have to be baptized and actively practicing. The distinction is baptized not just a believer.
There are two famous female tennis players who also claim to be JWS and Michael Jackson claimed it. Yet, they all seem rather obsessed with their careers as opposed to telling others about the Good News of the Kingdom. So claims are very easy to make. It is living as a Christian that isn' t so easy. No, I don't mean attending meetings and preaching. I mean living and thinking like a Christian should at all times. Also, what message are we sending to others when we appear more interested in fame and fortune than in spiritual matters? Are we serving as a stumbling block by encouraging the wrong attitude? If we are, then who is happy, God or Satan?
I respect Jehovah’s Witness even tho I don’t believe in everything they say. My mom is a Jehovah wittness and I remember when I was 10 she took me too a Kingdom Hall. The moment I walked in 3 people hugged me and a little girl said I was pretty. Really different from any other church I’ve been too. I go there once in a while.
I’m glad u had that experience 😊I also have had that feeling like everyone was judging me when I walked in other churches. But my first time walking into a Kingdom Hall I felt welcomed on my first day
@@Pac-Man.. Thank you for telling me your view on the situation it helps me see what I can look out for in my congregation for when I get older I can see the "wolf in a sheep's clothing" to say cause most JWs are kinda naive and if you come off kind and you look interested in the things we say we'll start to trust you and kinda look over your past until it's too late. So once again thank you and what you said will make me pay more attention to the people I preach too and so then they dont end up getting disfellowshipped and getting depressed cause it really hurts me to see good people get disfellowshipped.
YT Wavvy I’m an ex JW and I left because of the child sexual abuse cover ups and the two witness rule among many more reasons. What’s your excuse for still being in the cult?
This is VERY inaccurate and misleading. Being a "practicing" witness and a "baptized" witness are two entirely different thing's. Pls make sure u thoroughly check your information before uploading videos.
Robert Rogers:: Yes, That's what we're saying. You should join the Pentacostals; they talk in tongues and roll around on the floor. They know how to make religion fun.
Talking in tongues are demons i bet you dont have a translator to even know what they are saying or what you yourself are saying the bible clearly states u need a translator
What you people need to know is that; being a Jehovah's witnesses is not something you born with, and no one is raised to be a Jehovah's witnesses, you may just born and raised in a family of Jehovah's witnesses, but that doesn't make you one of Jehovah's witnesses, you only become one when you choose to be, and that symbolized by baptism, so a person can be coming to the kingdom hall, but if they are not baptized, THEY ARE NOT ONE OF US, they are just the people who are in agreement with the Bible teaching, and they are happy to be with us. In addition to that, our doors are always open to every human, despite their way of life... So not everyone you see coming out of our kingdom halls is a witness, some are just the beautiful people who love peace like we do, and they are happy to be with us.
Chris could not the same be said of ANY other religion? This also ignores the fact that most people just join the religion their parents raise them in. It's a cultural transfer. JWs actually have a pretty poor retention rate in this regard, but that's another issue. So I guess I'm not 100% sure what your point is my friend.
@@vandalayindustries8036 my point is: we do not force our views on people, even our kids, we may take them to the kingdom hall when they are young, that is true, but at the end of the day, they have a decision to make they can choose to become who ever they want, all we do is teaching them the Bible teachings, but we wait for them to grow up, and decide for themselves. "THAT IS WHY WE DO NOT BAPTIZ BABIES."those people in that video, maybe they did born in the families of jehovah's witnesses, and they may be taught all the Bible teachings, they may be visiting our places of worship, but they are not yet jehovah's witnesses, the only way they can be come one of us, is when they choose to get baptized.
Terrence Howard has NEVER been a Jehovah's Witness. He said in an interview he went to school with a kid who was different. He found out he was a JW. He admired his classmate's behavior, etc... he said he would have considered converting, but his career is his main focus.
He witnessed to his family and they became witnesses. He said he isn't ready to do what is required. He said one of which is quit smoking. He is NOT a witness. But respects them.
This video is full of inaccuracies. Beginning with the opening lines: ". . . a division of Christianity who follow their own version of the Bible called the New World Translation." What does that mean? Catholics have a Catholic translation - is the same said of them? Are they a division who follow their own version of the Bible? The Williams sisters are not Jehovah's Witnesses and have never been. Yes, they have literature, at one time they studied, they use Jehovah's name, one doesn't celebrate birthdays. Does that mean they are Witnesses? No. As a matter of fact, one will tell you quite candidly that she is not . . . she is trying to become one but is actually not one. Even when she said "we're Jehovah's Witnesses," she means they try to practice the beliefs. But she has never been baptized as one. "No cohabiting until they were married?" They got married eleven weeks after their baby was born! Beliefs do NOT vary among individuals. They do not go door to door in order to "get converts." Terrance Howard has never been one of Jehovah's Witnesses. He has never been baptized. Yes, he likes their beliefs and always wanted to become one. But, by his own admission, there were things he could not give up - including smoking. He began exploring witnesses in 2007? How does exploration make one a Witness? This video is a shabby mess of inaccuracies reflecting little to no research. All it does is foster untruths.
Reliability. The New World Translation is based on up-to-date scholarly research and the most reliable ancient manuscripts. In contrast, the King James Version of 1611 was based on manuscripts that were often less accurate and not as old as those used in producing the New World Translation. Faithfulness. The New World Translation strives to convey faithfully the original message that was inspired by God. (2 Timothy 3:16) Many translations of the Bible sacrifice faithfulness to God’s message in favor of following human traditions, for instance by replacing God’s personal name, Jehovah, with titles such as Lord or God.
Yes indeed. I had to stop watching the video like 2 or 3 times because it was literally starting to physically make me sick due to the inaccuracies, but as an academic study I watched it all the way thru to see what the video had to say about who supposedly were Jehovah's Witnesses in the video because I was just interested as to who the video was going to "label" as a supposed Jehovah's Witness. This video was manufactured and produced straight from Satan himself, unfortunately, AT LEAST one or two; AT LEAST, one or two, ppl will be deceived just by watching this misleading garbage smh
@Sako Tikka I agree to some degree. NWT 3.0 is trash. But the King James version... 14 books were removed from the Bible. Ever wonder why you have that number of books? 66? Do some more research
As far as someone being a celebrity, and one of Jehovah’s Witnesses at the same time, that is nearly impossible. Actually, it is impossible. Only because Matthew 624, states, which Jesus said… You cannot serve for two masters. Either you would love one, and hate the other. So… How does that make any sense?
I am a BIBLE STUDENT, even I know they are not true dedicated Witness of Jehovah. They do Nothing to bring attention to themselves, nor would they seek fame an glory from the world. A witness would seek a more humble employment.
It is also a sin to write articles and have your name as an author on them-right? That's why all the articles in the JWS books and magazines don't have them. Which by extension would make being a writer sinful because of attention drawn to the author-correct?
Raised as a witness from an early age, never baptized, left the organization, still influenced by them, i have nothing bad to say about them. Theyre just doing what they think is right.☮
that’s very kind Ragian, feel free to come back bro🤗 Oh I feel so free being a JW! Already 30 years. Grts from Belgium ( land of best fries, chocolate, and Brussels waffles 😋)
Same I used to be a witness but I’ve decided to just sway away from all religions and just follow the path of Jesus. I have nothing bad to say about jw’s.
@@BobSchoepenjr correction please., Once you are being dis fellowship meaning you have committed a serious errors make no mistake of being free as if nothing happened guard your conscience !
You don’t have anything bad to say about the 2 Witness rule that has been the major reason so much child abuse gets ignored in the org? How about the orgs direction to get elders to silence victims by telling them to leave matters in Jehovah’s hands? Nothing on victims speaking up in different countries on how the org covered up what happened to them? I think if an org acts wrongly people have the right to criticize it
Micheal Jackson was a JW in his youth. Do I believe most of these celebs are followers, no. But they may have Jehova in their heart. Not for me to proclaim.
Once a person became a jehovahs witness the true knowledge of truth will remain forever,even they made a mistake due to imperfections jehova will stay in their heart,and jehova knows it
wylo lister we def do not! I think ik a little more about our religion than you. Bc I’m a jw myself. And we have never done anything with child abuse. I’m a child myself. And we treat everyone with love. Bc our religion is love. And ofc more.
Jehovahs Witnesses have feelings too. Everyone's dissing our religion, but if we were to ever diss anyone else's (which we will not), some people would use that as another thing to hold against us.
@@spooksYT sorry, we don't want to annoy people, that's not our intention and please don't tell us that we are a cult, as you have made several comments about that, we are not a cult, and it hurts that people think that. jehovahs witnesses don't tell people that God will hate them forever for leaving our so called cult, or at least the many others i've met haven't been like that, everybody i met has been so loving i am unable to regularly go to congregations as i am a minor who cannot drive yet, (and because of covid) but whenever i go i can feel the love coming from everyone. we are trying to do nothing but be kind, being annoying is not our intention as it is our religion, we want to share it to people, because it has made many people happy to become a jehovahs witness. the media has a horrible representation of us, which makes me sad because our main goal is to be kind and loving, but instead i don't like searching up jehovahs witnesses because of all the opinions made of us, with the videos bashing us, videos telling us to "leave the cult" or if you're dating who is a jehovahs witness to leave before you get sucked into the cult too
@@cactus6957 Unfortunately, those who are in a cult don't recognize that they're in a cult. That's kind of the point. Witnesses follow the word of eight "anointed" men in New York who claim that Jehovah directs them on how to operate his earthly organization. In other words: You follow the word of eight men who claim God speaks through them, and you trust that they're telling you the truth. That's what Charlie Manson's followers believed about him, and what Jim Jones' followers gave their lives for.
@@-Zer0Dark- that is so mean to say that someone is In a cult you never been to a hall how do you know we are a cult it's just like saying you're religion is a cult. Just because we serve Jehovah WHICH IS GODS NAME doesn't mean you should treat us differently and people in a cult are mostly mean and talking nonsense we are just saying GODS NAME so if I were you I would stop comparing Jehovah witness to a cult. And if your tired of us knocking on your door then just dont answer the door or just say to them that your not interested believe me they will leave you alone we wont force you to become a Jehovah's witness. We have feelings to. If you have nothing nice to say then dont say it at all
@@sorhu72 well your not jehovah's witnesses I'm sorry but I'm not mad at you OK I'm not that girl who gets mad easily ok well I am jehovah's witnesses ok thank you
I've read some of these comments and wow. Religion can be a beautiful thing if you are given the right Information. There are some who deny the truth even when it is the truth because it can be hard to bare. In a world FULL of hatefulness there are few good people, Yet Jehovah's organization managed to find millions of them. I've seen and heard most of these insults already "cult" ,"love bomb" etc. But it is my faith that helps me carry on. knowing that these people are not tarnishing our names, but bringing reproach on Jehovahs'. To any witnesses who may read this comment I pray you keep your faith just as strong!
I don't think that JWs are the only ones who found Michael Jackson's portrayal of resurrected people stomping around in decomposing bodies repugnant and contrary to Christian beliefs.
Thank you for this I seen very hateful messages towards the Jehovah witnesses and this helps I’m glad there’s people like you Btw I am a Jehovah witness
@@viiryd1366 Hebrew12:1,2 Paul talks about multitudes of Jehovah's witnesses and that includes Jesus as the most outstanding witness to look up to. Since Jesus is the first born son of Jehovah it is the most proper thing that Jesus was and is and will be the champion of witness of Jehovah. Other son the Satan turned against the true God.
Jehovahs witness are not of an occult. I have been raised as a jehovah's witness but am not baptized but my parents are but are inactive but i just started studying again and im very knowledgeable about the bible. Funny how i see this video after praying to Jehovah God b4 i eat my food. YHWH Jehovah Yahweh he has a name. Is the ONE true God. Do your research on christmas do your research on all holidays matter of fact you will see they have pagan roots to them that is why we do not celebrate. Christmas used to be called saturnalia its worship to false God saturn Christmas reefs Christmas tress are all pagan symbols do your research. Yes some are pushy some are not. There are bad people in jehovahs organization but isnt there good people and bad people in all religions? No one is perfect. The jehovahs witness bible is the same as king james version except it has old ways of speaking like thow shall not the bible we have is more modernized to our ways of speaking today we dony talk like that anymore it makes it easier for us to understand bc we talk different today. Psalms 83:18 in your king james version it will have jehovahs name in that scripture especially the older king james version bibles do your research.
Jesus is speaking of his father Jehovah Yahweh YHWH. Jesus died for our sins. Hes is the mediator from us to his father. Thats why you pray through jesus name
Danielle, you know if you think about it, bad people didn't waste any time infiltrating God's organization. It dates all the way back to when Jesus was alive. One of his own apostles betrayed him. So really we should expect it. Who knows how deep the corruption goes. As the Bible says, there is nothing new under the sun. We must remember our allegiance is to Jehovah and to nobody and nothing else, whether it be family, friends, or even the organization itself. That idea itself is enough to break many people. But sometimes we have to be broken in order to be remade. Stay strong, young lady. There are difficult times ahead.
It's funny that the ex JWs say that their life is so great now, let they continue to waste their time on us. If their life is so great now, then they should find something better to do, instead of wasting their time posting false statements on us. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to find something better to do.
Kind of a typical obfuscation. First you stop teaching former members are satanic me tally diseased walking dead people that deserve death and in the meantime should be shunned.......then I'm happy to go do something else. By the way, what lies are you referring to exactly? No lies are needed to get to the illogicall and harmfull doctrine of JWs my friend.
They cant. Because they know they are lying and they are trying to mislead many. But, those with sense and the right heart attitude, will always see through it.
You couldn't possibly be a celebrity and also be a Jehovah's Witness. I grew up as one and I think they have a set of separate rules for people with money
Yea, although I never was a JW I know all about it as I’ve studied it and know people who were disfellowshipped. When I began watching this video I thought it was going to be about celebrities who WERE JW’s, but this video claims most still are, how this is impossible is beyond my comprehension as I’ve known JW’s who were disfellowed for playing video games and watching movies like Lord of the Rings. Celebrities like the Wayans brothers appear in movies with swearing and violence, and don’t even get me started on that female model. Even if she wasn’t being sexual in her photos, she’s still a model, displaying her beauty for money, which is a MASSIVE no fing way to the JW’s. Even the Williams sisters, the JW religion frowns upon being overly competitive in sports and Venus and Serena are the most competitive of all. So yea, it’s either these people are living by different rules, or I just don’t even know. Maybe the “elders” in the LA/Hollywood area are much more laid back and lax than somewhere like West Virginia, I mean they would have to be.
@@bostontowny4life744 we don't disfellowship people for things like video games or watching a movie. If those people come out with this and say they need help, they get it. People are disfellowshiped for cheating on their spouse, commiting fornication, violent crimes, and more severe reasons. Not cause of their choice in entertainment. Please stop spreading lies
I WILL ALWAYS RESPECT JEHOVAHS WITNESSES MY HEART HURTS FOR WHATS HAPPENING IN RUSSIA JESUS WENT THROUGH HERENDOUS TORTURE HE ALSO SAID TO HIS DECIPLES " YOU WILL BE HATED AN KILLED BEAUSE OF WHO I AM JESUS THE SON OF GOD AN ONE OF THE VERY ONES WHO BETRAYED JESUS HE TURNED TO AND SAID TRULEY I SAY YOU WILL BE IN PARIDISE WHATS HAPPENING IN RUSSIA IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN JESUS DAY BUT GOD.

@Wolf Among Sheep ok then.... i dont think you'd say the same about black people would you??? Now we all have our own beliefs but to call us a cancer and wish for innocent people to be jailed and tortured for simple wanting to learn about god and make him happy, it disgusts me that a human would wish something like this
@Wolf Among Sheep if it was really in your heart and you love Jehovah among all the things or the person you have you would'nt believe what others said. Im a proud Jehovah's Witness
Continue with your study of the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses, dear one... you are in the right place.. Apostates like this one would have you believe that the child abusers are such because they are Jehovah's Witnesses which is of course absurd..
Upbringing by believing parents do not make you Jehovah witness. This is personal decision and the way of life. It is not forbidden to be famous, but it is not possible to keep own chastity and do what others expect from you to do. As Bible say - "it is not possible to serve two masters."
My best friend isnt jehovahs witnesses but her grandmother is and she can’t do a lot of the things other people can do at school but she is sooo nice and people at school love her
@@dubstepjerk9100 I have the JW book, JW bible and JW watchtowers whom I also studied with. It is said that they had to shun people who disfellowship "GOD," which is UNREASONABLE. many disfellowshipped each year. (i am ex-JW). The Bible storybook even have death threats if you do not want to follow Jehovah. You can't even do blood transfusions but to let that person die because of their LOYALTY and that religion's wickedness. I gotta say the people there are nice but the religious beliefs are stupid but It is said that JW is the most kind of abusive religion. do whatever u want.
I’m 12 and I just got announced as a unbaptised publisher and to see this video it just warms my heart up cause I never knew that these stars were and still are witnesses!! I love learning about Jehovah god!!😍😍💋
Yes learning about Jehovah is lovely. Spend time growing and developing your relationship with Jehovah. Ask him to show you the way for you always. Spend time doing this before committing to baptism, ok hun. Let him lead you in everything x
Those saying you can't be a Jehovah's Witness and a celebrity at the same time, your right. For example, when prince became a Jehovah's Witness (I'm not sure if he was baptized), he had multiple songs of his taken off the radio because the lyrics/video went against bible standards.
Base on my info For later he became a jehovas witness And when became a jw he practice everything to be a jw Surely he stopped all song he make after being a jw
@@Tommy-yz4rm Yes but given the censorship exercised by the Watchtower organization, he would have produced work that was artistically poorer anyway... I am a music lover and I listen to a lot of artists from all walks of life "traditional music, classical music, rock, pop , electro, etc..." and when I compare Watchtower productions to that, it is obvious that the latter are often pale copies of what we can listen to "outside this religion". Apart from two or three pieces, the rest is of rather mediocre quality. So I imagine the sub-quality that Prince would have produced in this context...
Most individuals on this video are hypocrites. Prince died of a drug overdose. Serena Williams has pictures all over with her bum hanging out. While her mother is in tv ads for Mothers Day.
Brothers & sisters, we shouldn't bother responding to people who say we are a "Cult", as there is really no point of debating with someone who makes that claim anyways. Our opinions are not going to have any affect on them, and their opinions are not going to have any affect on us either, so there you go. Replies from cult comments will be ignored.
Key J-M errr. Grew up in it. It IS a cult. The governing body is King. More powerful than the Bible. Sorry sis. That’s y we can’t research online about who Jehovah witnesses origins and many failed prophecies.
guess u never heard of the australian royal commission where 1000 cases of child sex cases cover ups and the watchtower being a member of the UN from 1992 to 2001
I like the quote that JWs are not pushy. “If you’re not interested, just say so.” And in the Watchtower publication, Reasoning From the Scriptures, to advise on handling “conversation stoppers, for what to say when someone says “I’m not interested”, there’s a script for how to continue the conversation after a person declares lack of interest. Yep, not pushy at all.
@Anthony I continue to hear Reasoning from the Scriptures referenced from the platform in talks given by brothers. Have you perhaps heard among those taking the lead that we do not use that publication anymore?
@Anthony Ah. Yes, you are quite right. Some of it is not up to date at all. But some basic stuff in there beneficial for teaching, reproving, and setting things straight. I was hoping a couple of years ago that they would update it but I guess not. But some of the basic stuff is still good for basic Bible teachings which never change. Thanks Anthony!
As an actual JW, I can tell you right now that, although it's awesome that they hold our beliefs true and worth practicing, there's no chance that some of these people are actually preaching door-to-door. The way that we preach is through groups that are organized and stick together. That means that in order to be preaching door to door, it's necessary to be publicly seen in a Christian way by standards of the Bible. Wearing lavish clothes, marrying outside of the religion, etc. don't agree with that. Although it's awesome that those listed are believers or have a respect for the religion (which as a Witness is hard to come by nowadays), it's just not possible that they're fully part of the congregation. I hope that they can continue studying though and fully dedicate themselves to Jehovah one day :D
Thats sad. If people would just listen to us they would understand Luke 17:26Moreover, just as it occurred in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of man. Matthew 24:37For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.
@@karizma0080 Shouldn't truth actually be true? Here's just a very short list of JEHOVAH'S Witnesses "spoken in his name" and "what did not come true'. (Deut 18:20-22) God's Word the Bible's definition for a false prophet! 1940 - “The year 1940 is certain to be the most important year yet because Armageddon is very near.” - Informant, April 1940, p1 1941 - “Armageddon is surely near…” - Children, 1941, p.366 1941 -- "Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon," - Watchtower, Sept. 15, 1941, p.288 1942 - “Now, with Armageddon immediately before us…” - Watchtower, April 1, 1942, p.139 1946 - “The disaster of Armageddon… is at the door.” - Let God be True, 1946, p.194 1955 - “In the light of the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, it is becoming clear that the war of Armageddon is nearing its breaking-out point.” - You May Survive in God’s New World, 1955, p.331 1966 - “Armageddon is, in fact, very close indeed.” - Watchtower, October 15, 1966, p.629 (Luke 21:8) NIV He replied:"Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them."
@@wylolister3218 as an inactive JW that was never the case. When I was active in all my years if you fell from the "truth" you were never shunned. Insted they would try to contact you to make sure everything was ok. And even encourage you again. You would only get "shunned" over a very particular circumstances as far as im aware
Those who used to be JW, and are no longer, could you please also tell us what YOU HAVE DONE? What the BIBLE SAYS on the matter, before looking at them as "everything negative"? Dont just tell us what they have done to you, and what you have endured as consequences. Please, also give us all the details of what you have done and what you KNEW the consequences of those actions were going to be if you were not repentant. Please tell us.
What business is it of yours what any person has done? A person's relationship is between himself and his God, not between himself and you. People need not come to you for forgiveness in order to gain it.. Forgiveness is guaranteed based on the Ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ who died for our sins. You and all other JWS are not God's intermediary between God and mankind! Claiming to be such an intermediary is blasphemy.
@@tabitabn3551 Start by listening to some of the many Ex Jehovah's Witnesses that speak out about what Jehovah's Witnesses teachings and practices have done to them. Their experiences are shared and spoken out about by many around the world. It has nothing to do with not supporting war, thats not the only way to cause harm
I just unlocked a memory from years ago where somebody rang our doorbell. Our mom answered and said that it had something to do with religion. I just now understood what it was.
Well, covering up child sexual abuse is NOT nice hence The Australian Royal Commission´s cases 29 and 54! 1006 cases in Australia alone and the number is MUCH higher worldwide.
Prince was cool. I met him in a nightclub in San Diego 1992, he was by himself just watching. I said where's your bodyguards, he laughed and said " ain't nobody wanna kill me!!" I thought about it and said "ya you right!"wer had a great 5 minute talk, he wished he could have been a normal anonymous person sometimes
Growing up as a JW I was taught you can't be a celebrity and a practicing JW. Because I was taught it was against the religion to be idolized in any way, shape or form OR to idolize anybody at all and you should only idolize Jehovah God. I guess they might have different rules for people w/status & money...🤔🤔🤔
the world ignore Jehovah because of the roman trinity, the first commandmet is love Jehovah with all heart, what do you expect? So who is the real Family of Jesus? Well he said it loud and clear brother. Matthew 12: 47 So someone said to Jesus: “Look! Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to you.” 48 In reply Jesus said to the one who spoke to him: “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And extending his hand toward his disciples, he said: “Look! My mother and my brothers! 50 FOR WHOEVER DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER (Jehovah), THAT ONE!! is my brother and sister and mother.
@@Pac-Man.. who resurrected Jesus? Acts 5:30 The God of our forefathers (JAH) raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a stake. Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham (Jehovah) and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his Servant, Jesus,
@@Pac-Man.. my response was any other bible removed the name of Jehovah the name of the father with the word LORD God from the scriptures but we give recognition of him, and laugh in complete ignorance talking wrong against the things you dont understand.

Serena and Venus are not really dedicated JWs. They were never baptized in the religion. Plus you aren’t allowed to be a celebrity of any kind. You can’t leave or you will be shunned. Trust me. It’s crazy like Scientology. Leah Remini did a really good special recently
@@spooksYT no I do not celebrate anything but we have fun family gatherings and we still get tons of presents and candy and I do have friends outside yes but I don’t associate with them as much as I do wittenesse
did you check jw.org? that's where you find our actual teachings and structure. a cult is simply a term for a new religion anyways. so tell me how older than you is new? the connotation is what people like to tag to it to make us look bad
daniel flecha - Any religion that practices shunning is a cult in my book. Shunned Witnesses don’t come back because they miss God. They come back because they miss their families. Nothing my children could ever do would make me turn my back on them. Never. I feel sorry for JW children who know that their parents’ love is so conditional.
Actually, members of my family have been disfellowshipped (effectively shunning). When they came back, they did miss us a lot. But after making the mistake that got them disfellowshippped, they confronted the elders fully aware of the consequences. They did it because they wanted a good relationship with Jehovah. And for families, contact is never totally cut off. They're still family. We would never turn our back on family but we do have to limit contact. The love of a child's parents is by no means uncoinditional. as a matter of fact, families band together closer when one is disfellowshipped. My family is dealing with it right now and we're all proud of the disfellowshipee for confronting the elders. They do come back because they missed God. They left because they didn't want to keep missing him.
daniel flecha - If they come back because they miss God, what’s the point of disfellowshipping? When JWs came to my door last week, I was very kind but very honest. I told them why I did not believe and would never believe that you all are “in the truth”, as you put it. I won’t bore you with what I said about that. But I did tell them that no matter what my children did, whether they become adults and decide they no longer wanted to attend church, whether they are gay, whether they make decisions I don’t approve of... I would never shun them. No religion would tell me I can’t have a meal with my children, can’t have them in my home, can’t talk to them on the phone. Nope. Jesus has never once shunned me, even when I made terrible mistakes. (And I have. I admit that I have.) I am a mother first. I’d never let any man (elders) tell me what I can or can’t do, and my children will always have their mother beside them, unconditionally.
I grew up in the truth and tbh I have nothing against it and that I’m not attending meetings anymore.... I don’t hate JW’s nor do I condone violence towards them.... My grandparents more specifically taught me since I was a child... I feel bad I let them and Jehovah down since I’m joining the army now, but I know I’m not ready and I feel like maybe I’m just not cut out to being a JW right now in my life.... I was always told I can’t eat at two tables at once and that’s very true... I recognize Jehovah and still know he is God no matter where I am.... I hope he can forgive me one day, but like I said, I’m not ready to be one of his faithful people right now....
He will. My parents are Jws and I'm studying but my sister went to the army. We still have a great relationship with her and hopefully in the new world if you can accept jehovah standards then you can find salvation.
Hey brother, im a jw, well i studied for years, im 18, and i know one day youll know when to return. Seek the proclamation of peace and security, because that will be the start of difficult times, and seeing a prophecy realising itself can only strenghten ur faith and comeback to ur beloved Father. My hope is in him because what else do we got left in this world besides dissapointement. Take care brother
Yeah that’s the problem. We are not Catholics, Protestants, jehovah witnesses, Mormons, no we are Christian’s. People who call themself catholic Protestant Mormon need to rethink about their those titles
I truly admire these celebrities because they know how to keep the balance between their work and the ministry...I used to be active in our religion (which is Jehova's Witnesses) bit even though I am no longer part of it I still consider myself as one of them cuz I truly love Jehovah with all my heart and promised myself not to change my religion and will get back to him when the time is right...
@@joyceadair3003 I've joined and fallen out of their religion a few times. They never pursued after me and always welcomed me back with open arms... That's not how cults operate.
@mary reed People are free to join or LEAVE the Jehovah's Witness religion at any time, JW's don't get involved in war, they don't participate in the divide and conquer game of politics, they don't ask for money from members of there congregation, and they don't celebrate proven well documented pagan holidays like Christmas... So.. how is that a cult??
The shunning, the peer pressure they put to you and most of all that disappointed face they make if you don't get baptized if you've been studying with them for years is exactly why you should leave
@@kokichiiii5288 if you've been studying with them for YEARS I think anyone would be disappointed 😂 and that's not just with studying the Bible that's with anything in life. Usually after the first few months a person will know if they want to do something or if they're interested or not. If you go out and try to sell candy to a person and they keep letting you talk about your product as if they are interested, then just to say " I don't want it" after you spend so much time and effort into presenting, of course it would be a bummer because of all the hard work you put In just to get nothing out.
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ― Carl Sagan
Choose Jesus he's the savior. The gospel by which we're saved. We're under Paul's ministry today. Therefore we're not under the law of the old testament. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV)1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. And that takes us back to John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. So it's only by GRACE that we are saved not by works. Jesus did all the work and gave us GRACE (unmerited favor) as long as we have FAITH (believe) in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for SALVATION (trust in his blood). That's the gospel. Jesus said, Ye must be born again to enter into the kingdom.(accept Jesus as your SAVIOR)
The Gospel Messenger Jesus is not God he is God’s Son read Proverbs 8:22-to 30 he said that God made him along with everything else and he worshiped his father and made his name known if you don’t know Jehovah exodus 6:3 who made even Jesus you will not make it
How is criticism of a belief system the same as "hate speech"? A religion that shuns former members, and encourages the break up of families, tells you you must refuse blood even if it means you or your child's life (or be subject to that communal shunning program), that their teachings cannot be openly criticised or questioned, and that 99.8% of the people on earth are going to die any day now.........has plenty of fair criticism coming it's way.
What happened to loving your children if they choose a different path? Not in JW. Shunning is the name of the game. Lots of love there. What about the hiding sexual predators? Not even warning the congregation? Look up the Australian Royal Commission. What about making children refuse blood transfusions for religious reasons, making them martyrs? Kids don't have a choice in the religion. Very loving indeed. What about their "end game"? 7 billion people on earth and only a few million JWs. When their Armageddon comes, it requires unbelievers death. Very loving. What about telling children, from the pulpit, to ignore preparing for your future with college and work, and to instead devote your time and money to preaching? Loving indeed.
*Video addendum/correction, the Bible translation JWs use was simply corrected to match its original language, Hebrew & Greek. Its not a changed bible, simply a return to its root meaning.
@@romeostojka7232 thats not true. We, Jehovah's Witnesses, haven't changed anything. I don't mean at all to be rude or disrespectful...but its the other religions that have taken out, added things in to the Bible. Other religions have changed the meaning of the Bible. They have taken out God's personal name, Jehovah!
No wonder Prince was always gave douche asshole vibes thinking he was superior to us mere mortals. That's how my aunt's and uncle's act similar to Prince and they are also Jehovah Witnesses, they think we are not holy or good enough as human beings.
@@justmadeit2 first of all, there are no proof the name had anything but JWHW, the reason it is spoken is because it should be, also we believe he leads us onto the right pad. So that clears that. Second and most important, I hear alot of people who accuse us of that, but can you use an OLD (not modern church related where the name jwhw is rewritten to lord or so) manuscript, and our bible, and tell me exactly what they "changed to fit"?

@@sorhu72, please only talk like this to those who enforce their beliefs, plus it's not the JW's it's the Watchtower and the elders, normal JW's don't know about this stuff. Nokuthula Bond, I am sorry for their behaviour, but the pedophile stuff is true. I don't suggest talking to a elder about this though, I heard that they lie to keep other's from panicking. If you do want to look into this then I suggest waching a ex-JW's video on the subject, I know you don't like the "apostates" but it's just a suggestion, you don't have to but it's a good idea to see other's opinion on the matter.

"STOP, LOOK, LISTEN: Luke 8:17 "For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor is there anything carefully hidden that will never become known and never come to light." it is part of the new covenant that Jesus made with his disciples to eat the bread that represents his body and drink the wine that represents his blood, how will you have eternal life? (Luke 22:19,20). doctrine of men or the word of GOD?" observe (John ch 3:16,17) 16-“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever exercises faith in him may not be destroyed but have eternal life. 17-For God did not send his Son into the world that he might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him." observe (John ch 6:53-57) 53- So Jesus said to them, "I say- to you with all certainty: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 - He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I do. I will rise again at the last day, 55- for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56- Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. Just as the Father who lives sent me and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me. the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". notice what Jesus said: Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because they close the kingdom of heaven to men; for you yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are on their way to enter." look at the Conclusion of Jesus (John ch 10: 09,10) 9- I am the door; whoever enters by me will be saved, and will enter and he shall go out, and find pasture.” 10- A thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
the only problem for Jehovah's Witnesses is not to take as an example what Jesus instituted in their memory, which was to eat and drink the emblems in the Lord's Supper! for it is one baptism and one hope of eternal life. Ephesians 4: 4-6 note 4- There is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in a hope to which you were called; 5- one Lord, one faith and one baptism; 6- God, unique and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all.
I think not enough people read God's Word. Instead, they follow the word of those preaching or teaching as fact, no questions asked.. God says, "We all must "work out our own Salvation".
Unfortunately though WT ...the "good news" they teach...is that Jesus returned invisibly in 1914...and chose the JW religion in 1919 (again invisibly)......quite convenient that invisibility....isn't it? : ) Unfortunately...Jesus said when he returned.....the generation that witnessed his return would see the end.....that was 105 years ago.....so now we have the ludicrous "overlapping contemporaries" in a generation (making it up as they go along and as time runs out on their predictions from Jehovah). Everybody in the picture in the watchtower below....are all dead. img.jehovahs-witness.com/image/2ec5835145745f9c8775617c612667c1?s=580
@@wanttruth3876 Salvation is only for Israelites. They were scattered into all nations when the King first arrived. That's why it was necessary to preach to all nations.
Thats exactly what we do, our main goal is to teach people about god, and of course we want them to visit our meetings so their love for jehovah can grow even more.
I had one Catholic fellow dedicate seven full months in persecuting me at the job because I was a JWs. He was the foreman and his shouting at me made me catch my finger in the kick press. Had to take two weeks off to recover. When I went back, I found him with his nose stuffed with cotton. He had shouted at this other new fellow while I was gone and the fellow had broken his nose.
The people mentioned here are not true Witnesses.True baptized Witnesses would never follow a worldly path like these individuals have.They are not practicing the faith so please,stop calling them witnesses.Just because they attended a few meetings or studied the bible does not make them witnesses.True witnesses do not pursue worldly careers or lifestyles but are busy preaching the good news door to door!
The ideology always made sense to me. I just told my dad I don't want dedicate young and fail young, I was 18. I'm apart of the world, 7 years now but I still go back and they treat me with the same welcoming arms like I never left although they know I haven't been living a holy life. The media can overexgerate with JW and celebs, but the elders are usually more strict with the celebs because they have a huge influence and following that can tarnish the reputation of JW. But it backfires the opposite way.
It's so sad to see anyone regardless of wealth or status fall away from the truth over something as base as wealth and status ! And because you have made you'r choice and disowned the true God he now let's your heart change and the truth always sounds like foolishness among those who are perishing ! Oh Jehovah never let my heart change

Let me see, who has been the most destructive people to my life, who has also monetarily ripped me off over and again with work? who has caused emotional pain and consistent bad life experiences...well that would be JW members and elders and people associated with JW's.
Venus and Serena Williams wear outfits that would get any other JW thrown out and shunned but they get by with it. Most JW kids are not allowed to play tennis or have ANY extra-curricular activities after school so the Williams sisters help the organization deny that fact. But I was in that mess for 32 years. They must give a LOT of money to be allowed to dress like that.
No matter what religion you are. People will try to talk you out of your beliefs. As a JW I'm proud to be one. Dont feel brainwashed at all. When I wanted to leave I was allowed to. Welcomed back two years later with open arms. Cults dont let people leave, they keep coming for you until you either come back or die. Once you tell the JWs you're not interested they do their best to respect your decision. And "the light gets brighter" as with every imperfect human, constant education and learning help ones understanding to become clearer so things the branch office may have publish back in the 1800s are going to say marginally different things than 2019. You wouldnt let a mere prophecy misinterpreted dislodge you from your faith if you Love Jehovah and his son. Not the word of man.
Ro I'm afraid your experience is not typical. In fact the organization has instructional videos shown to thousands at conventions and meetings on how to shun your adult children that leave or no longer believe. You don't even need to be disfellowshipped to be shunned, which is the case with me and many old friends and some family. That is an overly rosey view of what really occurs when you no longer believe. In addition, the passage you are referring to has been misappropriated by JWs. The "light getting brighter" has nothing to do with flip flopping doctrines in the last days. It is a proverbial saying regarding an individual who is on a righteous path.
I want really referring to being disfellowshipped. But thanks for sharing your experience. Truly sorry to hear that things were handled that way. Also. I know about the saying. We use many of them if they fit the occasional.
"I'm like most people in the world. I'm a little selfish in what I want. I like doing my thing, my way," the actor says. "In my heart, I wanted to be a Witness. If it wasn't for the smoking of cigarrettes and all ... I would be a Witness." - Terence Howard As for Prince the most sexually charged artist in music became a Jehovah's Witness. He would flip-flop on homosexuality, proselytize door to door and reveal his complicated and personal conflicts along the way.Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman were childhood friends, lovers and founding members of Prince's Revolution band. If Prince had a musical family, they were it. Melvoin was told he wanted her to give a press conference denouncing her homosexuality and announcing that she was converting to Jehovah. "I was like: I guess we'll never hear from him again." But just six years later, she stood beside Prince onstage in London, playing for millions of viewers at an awards show. In matching white suits, Melvoin and Prince hammered shoulder to shoulder on their guitars, him lustily singing "Purple Rain." Coleman was on piano. The early acceptance of the gay couple -- and then the rejection and acceptance all over again -- is an example of the puzzling contradiction that Prince acted out in his attitudes toward sexuality and religion As for Serena like a lot of 'stars' that grew up in the JW cult - they are all FRINGE JWs. She is a known Black lives matter and LGBTQ Advocate. Serena can also famously appeared in an expletive video with Beyonce in which she could be seen twerking and dancing provocatively. In Jan 2018 she called on a fellow Tennis star to apologise after he tweeted that a visit to a Gay club " Made his eyes bleed" So in summary this list is a farce....They can claim it, they vocalize it, but their life choices are not a reflection of what the watchtower preaches. This is the JW 1%... They ride the fence when it is convenient for them. And yet, they are not held to the same stringent rules the rank and file are.I respect her for living life HER OWN WAY...but it makes things unfair. A lot of JW'S had talents they weren't permitted to follow, and had to forego all in the name of remaining humble AND putting 'Jehovah 1st'.
I would say that this is true but those talented brothers and sisters are still using their talents til this day. But instead of following success in the world instead they use their talents for Jehovah. People who are talented in music make that music in our organization. So none of our brothers and sisters talents go to waste just because they become Jehovah’s Witness 😊

I remember in school a lil boy had to leave class all the time for certain activities and everytime he would cry. As children, we asked why does she make him cry? She explained it was his religious beliefs and had nothing to fi with her. My 💔 goes out to those children whom arent allowed to draw a pumpkin cuz its a sin 🙄
This doesn’t damage their life and I know this because I am a Jehovah witness in a Jehovah witness household it is a sin. A long time ago they used pumpkins and lit them up to try and summon demons from the under world and now they don’t look at the past of that and think it’s only for candy
Tacoman Gaming speak for yourself! I was a JW as a child and it absolutely damaged my childhood. I always felt like an outsider at school, couldn’t join in any holidays that I desolately wanted to, and is of that wasn’t bad enough, was an outsider with our own relatives. Seeing photos of their Christmas gatherings and bdays and knowing I didn’t get to join the fun with my cousins. And little things like being told Santa and the tooth fairy and Easter bunny, etc. are all fake to a young child? Being a JW is a childhood innocence killer.

Brothers & sisters, don't waste your time debating with the opposers, as their comments is proof that they've already made their decision to go against us anyways. Replies from opposers will be ignored.
No, its not "our own version" of the Bible. Its a translation. Meaning the original language was translated so that modern day people could understand it. Nothing is changed, only translated.
Where did millions now living will never die come from, or 1914 the generation that will not pass away, or any other of Jehovah's Witnesses failed doctrines come from? You guys can't claim mistakes happen when Jehovah's Witnesses preach things outside the bible.
It isn't a translation, it's a sectarian paraphrase suited to support YOUR own beliefs. Example of this is John 1:1 where the NWT changes "The Word was God" into "The Word was a god." The JW "Bible" has 50+ changes to suit their non trinitarian and heretical beliefs.
Jehovah's Witnesses know the Bible well - however they are a very judgemental and complacent religion. Listen to what they teach from the Bible, but do not reveal confidential information to them as they can turn around and rip you open. They are the closest to the true religion.

The true relegion? Hell that does not exist. If there was a true religion then everybody would be there. 26 thousand religions world wide. Take your choice.
I’m a Jehovah witness and we are actually kind people.👍🏼 Let me tell you something if you do something bad...Well you get punished(but not like mean stuff 😂) Jehovah ❤️
The gospel by which we're saved. We're under Paul's ministry today. Therefore we're not under the law of the old testament. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV)1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. And that takes us back to John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. So it's only by GRACE that we are saved not by works. Jesus did all the work and gave us GRACE (unmerited favor) as long as we have FAITH (believe) in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for SALVATION (trust in his blood). That's the gospel. Jesus said, Ye must be born again to enter into the kingdom.(accept Jesus as your SAVIOR)
2 Peter 3:9 - Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. Look this up in your own Bible. God is love.
How can they be jahobas witnesses if they participate in scenes that are rated R and also being praised ?2:02 lol that’s a lie ,I don’t even answer my door anymore because they don’t respect me when I say I’m not interested .people be wary about these witnesses if you have kids cause they will try to convince them to join while your at work .now that I’m older they don’t Insist as much but when I was young they were way too persistent coming to my house reading parts of they’re pamphlets even after I told them I wasn’t Interested ,then they’d come knocking every other day asking me if I change my mind they are there to help me .
It's is a command by Jesus from the Bible that we preach from door to door or wherever we are, if youndont want us to call you can say so and they marknyoubas a Do not call, but from time to time we check uo because circumstances in people's lives change. It's an act of love on God's part to find others who need answers for God. If we do not warn others about the end of this system, we are responsible before God for not telling you about it.
I have a friend who was Jehovah witness and he was my only friend I felt in love with him but never felt so alone and heartbroken we were friends a long time and he block me. He knew my feelings for him and decided to be separated but broke my heart because he was my only friend and don't meet much people. I don't know if it was the email I send to his job but never forgave me
We all have the same Bible. Jehovah’s Witnesses just decided to translate the Bible, to make it a little bit more understandable. So, we called that translation, the New World translation of the holy Scriptures. Only because some people were not really understanding the English utilized in other versions like the king James version, the American standard version, and so on and so forth.
You are misinformed. The NWT isn’t just about putting in Jehovah’s name or using modern English. Compare scriptures that refer to worshiping Jehovah and Jesus. They use the word “worship” for Jehovah and “do obedience” for Jesus... yet in the kingdom interlinear the Greek word is the same “ego ami” meaning “I am”. The NWT removes the deity of Christ.
the apostles went up to lord jesus and said the gentiles who do not follow us forgive in your name! we tried to stop them because they dont follow us. Jesus responded do not stop them because what they are doing is not going against us but are witnessing forgiveness as my father is forgiving you. colossians 3:13
What other celebrities should've made this list?
Jehovah continues to love and blesses all of us regardless! The CULT that bears my father Jehovah's name is one of. many ungodly organizations that has been misleading Jehovah's people! We show more power, strength, endurance, and healing when we COLLECTIVELY speak the truth about our continued personal relationship with Jehovah and how Jehovah is still blessing us versus constantly speaking up the CULT misguided ungodly doctrines!! Jehovah is bringing down the CULT quietly, but persistently! TRUST AND BELIEVE!! Jehovah will conquer thee, so I will faithfully lay in wait! Join me in praising Jehovah and publicly speaking about God's goodness while he battle for us!! The CULT is so busy with Satan work that they don't recognize they are at war with Jehovah and they will get out of my father's house!! KNOCK KNOCK!
I recently wrote a fight song for Jehovah and I am in need of music and singers if interested. I am not seeking any monetary reward. Thanks sisters and brothers!
Real JW without the CULT of it's not for reward then (and I'm not accusing you off anything here of course) but i think that you should keep it off of the web. keep it to your friends or family. be as far separate from the hypocrites that Jesus pointed out. they would do things in public to get people to see them. not saying that that's why you're doing it but it may come off as insincere to some. we serve Jehovah from the heart and for him, not fit anyone else !!

Huge difference between "calling" yourself a JW, coming from parent(s) who are/were Witnesses, attending meetings, or being a baptised Witness.
Ur right
Even the pipo who have never ever gone to the kingdom hall r also being called witnesses

A person can't be a JW and a celebrity at the same time, it's too impossible. You will either dedicate your life to Jehovah or dedicate your life to the world, you can't dedicate your life to both.
Hey loser apparently they can.
Exactly.
They're practising.
or maybe just leave
We can. We can do whatever we want. Geez.
My neighbors are Jehovah’s Witnesses. I am gay and I live with my husband. When I became very sick they would come and bring us food. That was the most Christian thing I’ve seen a “Christian” do. When our friends start to complain about Christians I always tell them leave the Jehovah witness is out of this they practice what god taught.
@Wolf Among Sheep it's so sad that you invalidate someone's own account just to validate your own version of events.
Commenting here is "Wolf Among Sheep"-a very apt name based on his/her content...a name bespeaking his own disposition. Anyone familiar with the Bible and it's light regarding the two animals of his name, knows it speaks much more highly of a sheep's character traits than a wolf!
Clearly this is an apostate-
I’m gay, I was kicked out when I came out. Gay witnesses are expected to be celibate and are treated differently despite not acting on their desires. It’s sad to say that the face they put on and what they actually are like when you’re in it is insanely different
Thank you!🙂
Yup that one dude is right, ITS FAKE, there trying to get you into there cult. Also they don’t like homosexuals. Good luck with that
JWs aren't going door to door "looking for converts". The only objective is to discuss the Bible and help people (that want help) to better learn what is in the bible so that they can make informed decisions about their spirituality.
Amen
@@Sto79Be I dont know where you get that info from..its Jehovah God who wants you to come and take life's water free..to be Followers not converts..we are only following Jesus command..Scriptually...Jesus told his followers to “make disciples of people of all the nations.” (Matthew 28:19, 20) When he sent out his early disciples, Jesus directed them to go to the homes of the people. (Matthew 10:7, 11-13) After Jesus’ death, first-century Christians continued to spread their message both “publicly and from house to house.” (Acts 5:42; 20:20) We follow the example of those early Christians and find that the door-to-door ministry is a good way to reach people.

Macarena M8’s hey, religion is not a cult, just accept it, dont argue about it
@Macarena M8’s it's not a cult. And I would know because I am studying as a Jehovah's witness. Your boss will not fire you. And your family is still aloud to talk to you at certain extents.
We can speak to ppl outside the religion, just not those who may be a bad influence. The only case ur family can't talk to u if u get disfellowshipped which only happens of u do something REALLY bad.

update Feb 2020: im surprised this thread is still going 😳 lol. well i had some car problems recently. engine completely blew out. didnt know what to do....im a full time employee + full time student. I NEED a car.well guess who came to my rescue again...Jehovah witnesses... they helped me find an AMAZING deal on a car with barely any mileage + brand new engine. say what you want about the "EVIL" jehovah witnesses but they're good in my book.
for the record i still havent gone to a single meeting but i think i may attend their memorial this year 🙂
It's hard to find good people like that in this day and age.
No string attached is not entirely true. it's a ploy for you to convert to make you feel that you are family and obligated to be one of them. it has been used for thousands of years by religious Institution to the point that it went out of control. be it deep religious doctrine like the Nazis or forced christian conversion by the Spanish conquistadors. you may say I'm going extreme with that type of reference.
But kindly show me one religious Society currently today or any point in history that are equal and fair? it took something like the French Revolution to have a little bit of equality by separating church and state. thing is you only have one life in this world. if you want to believe in such nonsense it is your choice but do not impose your belief upon others and especially in society as a whole. you would say my comments is ignorant but I can say to you that you should know better than anyone else because questioning the word of God that is written by man is blasphemy if you don't see the irony in that you're no different than the jihadist Muslims or any deeply religious sect for that matter.
SpeedWolf who hurt you ? Lol they didn’t make me feel obligated to do anything. In fact just a month ago they helped fixed my mom’s car and patched a hole in my roof FOR FREE. And still they haven’t asked me to do anything. The only thing they’ve ASKED is if I want a free home bible study. I kindly told them not right now and they said ok. That was BEFORE they patched the hole in my roof
Maybe you had a bad experience but the local Jehovah witnesses in Florida have been extremely empathetic to me and have nothing but my upmost respect 🙏
@Boy Slim That is the problem when someone is in denial you can't convince them otherwise. you are no exception. I'm just pointing out the intention in their part.
If you choose to ignore the warning and believe it not to be so. that is entirely up to you to decide. that it's something that religious people doesn't allow for you to make your own decision. May you have a good day.
@daniel flecha Would you mind to donate blood? Would you do a blood transfusion to save someone in your flock? your religious believe is a very backward mindset. you said that you don't expect anything in return but what happen if that person that you help is gay will you help him/her to begin with?
I don't like when religious people such as yourself think that you have morality. just because you might have good intentions doesn't mean your church that you represent does and everyone in it. how I can make you understand you are one of them. you cannot even question your faith because by doing so you be shunned by the church and excommunicated by everyone that you know that are a member of your church.
You only have one life in this world. you want to waste it on that. that is your choice. If you do something good just to be good is fine but if you're doing it because of God tell you to be a good person then you're doing something for your church to manipulate people to join your flock.
This have been done for thousands of years and the people who are being used for the manipulation don't even know that they're manipulated.

Corrections, Prince did become and remained a JW till his death, the Wagons mother was a JW: the boys are not, Rocha is a JW, the Williams are not. They believe but are not members. Howard is not a JW. In order to be classified as a JW, you have to be baptized and actively practicing. The distinction is baptized not just a believer.
There are two famous female tennis players who also claim to be JWS and Michael Jackson claimed it. Yet, they all seem rather obsessed with their careers as opposed to telling others about the Good News of the Kingdom. So claims are very easy to make. It is living as a Christian that isn' t so easy. No, I don't mean attending meetings and preaching. I mean living and thinking like a Christian should at all times.
Also, what message are we sending to others when we appear more interested in fame and fortune than in spiritual matters? Are we serving as a stumbling block by encouraging the wrong attitude? If we are, then who is happy, God or Satan?
the lies and smears are perpetuated 😉 1John 5: 19.
But I thought if u r a jw u r not supposed to b a popular celebrity or even a model✍️what changed?
I respect Jehovah’s Witness even tho I don’t believe in everything they say. My mom is a Jehovah wittness and I remember when I was 10 she took me too a Kingdom Hall. The moment I walked in 3 people hugged me and a little girl said I was pretty. Really different from any other church I’ve been too. I go there once in a while.
I’m glad u had that experience 😊I also have had that feeling like everyone was judging me when I walked in other churches. But my first time walking into a Kingdom Hall I felt welcomed on my first day

@miles... Con man. What did he con them into doing.
@miles. So are you saying that almighty God is NOT Jehovah?
Robert Rogers:: Yes, That's what we're saying. You should join the Pentacostals; they talk in tongues and roll around on the floor. They know how to make religion fun.
Talking in tongues are demons i bet you dont have a translator to even know what they are saying or what you yourself are saying the bible clearly states u need a translator
What you people need to know is that; being a Jehovah's witnesses is not something you born with, and no one is raised to be a Jehovah's witnesses, you may just born and raised in a family of Jehovah's witnesses, but that doesn't make you one of Jehovah's witnesses, you only become one when you choose to be, and that symbolized by baptism, so a person can be coming to the kingdom hall, but if they are not baptized, THEY ARE NOT ONE OF US, they are just the people who are in agreement with the Bible teaching, and they are happy to be with us.
In addition to that, our doors are always open to every human, despite their way of life... So not everyone you see coming out of our kingdom halls is a witness, some are just the beautiful people who love peace like we do, and they are happy to be with us.
Chris could not the same be said of ANY other religion? This also ignores the fact that most people just join the religion their parents raise them in. It's a cultural transfer. JWs actually have a pretty poor retention rate in this regard, but that's another issue. So I guess I'm not 100% sure what your point is my friend.

"THAT IS WHY WE DO NOT BAPTIZ BABIES."those people in that video, maybe they did born in the families of jehovah's witnesses, and they may be taught all the Bible teachings, they may be visiting our places of worship, but they are not yet jehovah's witnesses, the only way they can be come one of us, is when they choose to get baptized.
Terrence Howard has NEVER been a Jehovah's Witness. He said in an interview he went to school with a kid who was different. He found out he was a JW. He admired his classmate's behavior, etc... he said he would have considered converting, but his career is his main focus.
He witnessed to his family and they became witnesses. He said he isn't ready to do what is required. He said one of which is quit smoking. He is NOT a witness. But respects them.
This video is full of inaccuracies. Beginning with the opening lines: ". . . a division of Christianity who follow their own version of the Bible called the New World Translation." What does that mean? Catholics have a Catholic translation - is the same said of them? Are they a division who follow their own version of the Bible? The Williams sisters are not Jehovah's Witnesses and have never been. Yes, they have literature, at one time they studied, they use Jehovah's name, one doesn't celebrate birthdays. Does that mean they are Witnesses? No. As a matter of fact, one will tell you quite candidly that she is not . . . she is trying to become one but is actually not one. Even when she said "we're Jehovah's Witnesses," she means they try to practice the beliefs. But she has never been baptized as one. "No cohabiting until they were married?" They got married eleven weeks after their baby was born!
Beliefs do NOT vary among individuals. They do not go door to door in order to "get converts." Terrance Howard has never been one of Jehovah's Witnesses. He has never been baptized. Yes, he likes their beliefs and always wanted to become one. But, by his own admission, there were things he could not give up - including smoking. He began exploring witnesses in 2007? How does exploration make one a Witness?
This video is a shabby mess of inaccuracies reflecting little to no research. All it does is foster untruths.
Reliability. The New World Translation is based on up-to-date scholarly research and the most reliable ancient manuscripts. In contrast, the King James Version of 1611 was based on manuscripts that were often less accurate and not as old as those used in producing the New World Translation.
Faithfulness. The New World Translation strives to convey faithfully the original message that was inspired by God. (2 Timothy 3:16) Many translations of the Bible sacrifice faithfulness to God’s message in favor of following human traditions, for instance by replacing God’s personal name, Jehovah, with titles such as Lord or God.
True!
Yes indeed. I had to stop watching the video like 2 or 3 times because it was literally starting to physically make me sick due to the inaccuracies, but as an academic study I watched it all the way thru to see what the video had to say about who supposedly were Jehovah's Witnesses in the video because I was just interested as to who the video was going to "label" as a supposed Jehovah's Witness. This video was manufactured and produced straight from Satan himself, unfortunately, AT LEAST one or two; AT LEAST, one or two, ppl will be deceived just by watching this misleading garbage smh
@Sako Tikka I agree to some degree. NWT 3.0 is trash. But the King James version... 14 books were removed from the Bible. Ever wonder why you have that number of books? 66? Do some more research
GM504 Funny when I search up most accurate bible translations by bible scholars NWT isn’t even close to the top
As far as someone being a celebrity, and one of Jehovah’s Witnesses at the same time, that is nearly impossible. Actually, it is impossible. Only because Matthew 624, states, which Jesus said… You cannot serve for two masters. Either you would love one, and hate the other. So… How does that make any sense?

In a world FULL of hatefulness there are few good people, Yet Jehovah's organization managed to find millions of them. I've seen and heard most of these insults already "cult" ,"love bomb" etc. But it is my faith that helps me carry on. knowing that these people are not tarnishing our names, but bringing reproach on Jehovahs'. To any witnesses who may read this comment I pray you keep your faith just as strong!
I don't think that JWs are the only ones who found Michael Jackson's portrayal of resurrected people stomping around in decomposing bodies repugnant and contrary to Christian beliefs.
Thank you for this I seen very hateful messages towards the Jehovah witnesses and this helps I’m glad there’s people like you

Hebrew12:1,2 Paul talks about multitudes of Jehovah's witnesses and that includes Jesus as the most outstanding witness to look up to. Since Jesus is the first born son of Jehovah it is the most proper thing that Jesus was and is and will be the champion of witness of Jehovah. Other son the Satan turned against the true God.

Don't be silly. The founder of the Witness Organization was a Mason. A Luciferian.
Jehovahs witness are not of an occult. I have been raised as a jehovah's witness but am not baptized but my parents are but are inactive but i just started studying again and im very knowledgeable about the bible. Funny how i see this video after praying to Jehovah God b4 i eat my food. YHWH Jehovah Yahweh he has a name. Is the ONE true God. Do your research on christmas do your research on all holidays matter of fact you will see they have pagan roots to them that is why we do not celebrate. Christmas used to be called saturnalia its worship to false God saturn Christmas reefs Christmas tress are all pagan symbols do your research. Yes some are pushy some are not. There are bad people in jehovahs organization but isnt there good people and bad people in all religions? No one is perfect. The jehovahs witness bible is the same as king james version except it has old ways of speaking like thow shall not the bible we have is more modernized to our ways of speaking today we dony talk like that anymore it makes it easier for us to understand bc we talk different today. Psalms 83:18 in your king james version it will have jehovahs name in that scripture especially the older king james version bibles do your research.
John 14:6
John 14:6
Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus is speaking of his father Jehovah Yahweh YHWH. Jesus died for our sins. Hes is the mediator from us to his father. Thats why you pray through jesus name
Danielle, you know if you think about it, bad people didn't waste any time infiltrating God's organization. It dates all the way back to when Jesus was alive. One of his own apostles betrayed him. So really we should expect it. Who knows how deep the corruption goes. As the Bible says, there is nothing new under the sun. We must remember our allegiance is to Jehovah and to nobody and nothing else, whether it be family, friends, or even the organization itself. That idea itself is enough to break many people. But sometimes we have to be broken in order to be remade. Stay strong, young lady. There are difficult times ahead.
God goes by Allah as well
It's funny that the ex JWs say that their life is so great now, let they continue to waste their time on us. If their life is so great now, then they should find something better to do, instead of wasting their time posting false statements on us. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to find something better to do.
Kind of a typical obfuscation. First you stop teaching former members are satanic me tally diseased walking dead people that deserve death and in the meantime should be shunned.......then I'm happy to go do something else.
By the way, what lies are you referring to exactly? No lies are needed to get to the illogicall and harmfull doctrine of JWs my friend.
They cant. Because they know they are lying and they are trying to mislead many. But, those with sense and the right heart attitude, will always see through it.

Yea, although I never was a JW I know all about it as I’ve studied it and know people who were disfellowshipped. When I began watching this video I thought it was going to be about celebrities who WERE JW’s, but this video claims most still are, how this is impossible is beyond my comprehension as I’ve known JW’s who were disfellowed for playing video games and watching movies like Lord of the Rings. Celebrities like the Wayans brothers appear in movies with swearing and violence, and don’t even get me started on that female model. Even if she wasn’t being sexual in her photos, she’s still a model, displaying her beauty for money, which is a MASSIVE no fing way to the JW’s. Even the Williams sisters, the JW religion frowns upon being overly competitive in sports and Venus and Serena are the most competitive of all.
So yea, it’s either these people are living by different rules, or I just don’t even know. Maybe the “elders” in the LA/Hollywood area are much more laid back and lax than somewhere like West Virginia, I mean they would have to be.
@@bostontowny4life744 we don't disfellowship people for things like video games or watching a movie. If those people come out with this and say they need help, they get it.

Those saying you can't be a Jehovah's Witness and a celebrity at the same time, your right. For example, when prince became a Jehovah's Witness (I'm not sure if he was baptized), he had multiple songs of his taken off the radio because the lyrics/video went against bible standards.
Base on my info
For later he became a jehovas witness
And when became a jw he practice everything to be a jw
Surely he stopped all song he make after being a jw
And, it's just my opinion but I think that he loosed his talent when he became a JW...

I like the quote that JWs are not pushy. “If you’re not interested, just say so.” And in the Watchtower publication, Reasoning From the Scriptures, to advise on handling “conversation stoppers, for what to say when someone says “I’m not interested”, there’s a script for how to continue the conversation after a person declares lack of interest. Yep, not pushy at all.
We don't use that publication anymore
@@terrismith5901 Are you sure about that?
@Anthony I continue to hear Reasoning from the Scriptures referenced from the platform in talks given by brothers. Have you perhaps heard among those taking the lead that we do not use that publication anymore?
@Anthony Ah. Yes, you are quite right. Some of it is not up to date at all. But some basic stuff in there beneficial for teaching, reproving, and setting things straight. I was hoping a couple of years ago that they would update it but I guess not. But some of the basic stuff is still good for basic Bible teachings which never change. Thanks Anthony!
Just insisting on knocking on doors is considered pushy by most members of Christendom.
As an actual JW, I can tell you right now that, although it's awesome that they hold our beliefs true and worth practicing, there's no chance that some of these people are actually preaching door-to-door. The way that we preach is through groups that are organized and stick together. That means that in order to be preaching door to door, it's necessary to be publicly seen in a Christian way by standards of the Bible. Wearing lavish clothes, marrying outside of the religion, etc. don't agree with that. Although it's awesome that those listed are believers or have a respect for the religion (which as a Witness is hard to come by nowadays), it's just not possible that they're fully part of the congregation. I hope that they can continue studying though and fully dedicate themselves to Jehovah one day :D
Too bad. The only time I'd ever be ok with a jw coming to my door is if they were a celebrity
if that's how you wanna roll then you do that. would be nice to know that some people would give us a chance tho lol
Thats sad. If people would just listen to us they would understand Luke 17:26Moreover, just as it occurred in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of man. Matthew 24:37For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

Those who used to be JW, and are no longer, could you please also tell us what YOU HAVE DONE? What the BIBLE SAYS on the matter, before looking at them as "everything negative"? Dont just tell us what they have done to you, and what you have endured as consequences. Please, also give us all the details of what you have done and what you KNEW the consequences of those actions were going to be if you were not repentant. Please tell us.
What business is it of yours what any person has done? A person's relationship is between himself and his God, not between himself and you.

You and all other JWS are not God's intermediary between God and mankind! Claiming to be such an intermediary is blasphemy.

I thought about it and said "ya you right!"wer had a great 5 minute talk, he wished he could have been a normal anonymous person sometimes
Prince was a latent homosexual and fought to hide it even from himself. He was not a JW.
When you study cults, you learn that it only takes 10% of a group to be true believers to maintain the leader and the group as a whole.
But you don't know what a cult is. Go learn.
Growing up as a JW I was taught you can't be a celebrity and a practicing JW. Because I was taught it was against the religion to be idolized in any way, shape or form OR to idolize anybody at all and you should only idolize Jehovah God. I guess they might have different rules for people w/status & money...🤔🤔🤔
the world ignore Jehovah because of the roman trinity, the first commandmet is love Jehovah with all heart, what do you expect? So who is the real Family of Jesus? Well he said it loud and clear brother.
Matthew 12: 47 So someone said to Jesus: “Look! Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to you.” 48 In reply Jesus said to the one who spoke to him: “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And extending his hand toward his disciples, he said: “Look!

daniel flecha - Any religion that practices shunning is a cult in my book. Shunned Witnesses don’t come back because they miss God. They come back because they miss their families. Nothing my children could ever do would make me turn my back on them. Never. I feel sorry for JW children who know that their parents’ love is so conditional.
Actually, members of my family have been disfellowshipped (effectively shunning). When they came back, they did miss us a lot. But after making the mistake that got them disfellowshippped, they confronted the elders fully aware of the consequences. They did it because they wanted a good relationship with Jehovah. And for families, contact is never totally cut off. They're still family. We would never turn our back on family but we do have to limit contact. The love of a child's parents is by no means uncoinditional. as a matter of fact, families band together closer when one is disfellowshipped. My family is dealing with it right now and we're all proud of the disfellowshipee for confronting the elders. They do come back because they missed God. They left because they didn't want to keep missing him.
daniel flecha - If they come back because they miss God, what’s the point of disfellowshipping? When JWs came to my door last week, I was very kind but very honest. I told them why I did not believe and would never believe that you all are “in the truth”, as you put it. I won’t bore you with what I said about that. But I did tell them that no matter what my children did, whether they become adults and decide they no longer wanted to attend church, whether they are gay, whether they make decisions I don’t approve of... I would never shun them. No religion would tell me I can’t have a meal with my children, can’t have them in my home, can’t talk to them on the phone. Nope. Jesus has never once shunned me, even when I made terrible mistakes. (And I have. I admit that I have.) I am a mother first. I’d never let any man (elders) tell me what I can or can’t do, and my children will always have their mother beside them, unconditionally.
I grew up in the truth and tbh I have nothing against it and that I’m not attending meetings anymore.... I don’t hate JW’s nor do I condone violence towards them.... My grandparents more specifically taught me since I was a child... I feel bad I let them and Jehovah down since I’m joining the army now, but I know I’m not ready and I feel like maybe I’m just not cut out to being a JW right now in my life.... I was always told I can’t eat at two tables at once and that’s very true... I recognize Jehovah and still know he is God no matter where I am.... I hope he can forgive me one day, but like I said, I’m not ready to be one of his faithful people right now....
He will. My parents are Jws and I'm studying but my sister went to the army. We still have a great relationship with her and hopefully in the new world if you can accept jehovah standards then you can find salvation.
I understand that bro. I'm basically in the same position.
Hey brother, im a jw, well i studied for years, im 18, and i know one day youll know when to return. Seek the proclamation of peace and security, because that will be the start of difficult times, and seeing a prophecy realising itself can only strenghten ur faith and comeback to ur beloved Father. My hope is in him because what else do we got left in this world besides dissapointement.

If you go out and try to sell candy to a person and they keep letting you talk about your product as if they are interested, then just to say " I don't want it" after you spend so much time and effort into presenting, of course it would be a bummer because of all the hard work you put In just to get nothing out.
What does it like to be a JW? How does it differs from catholic or orthodox christianity?
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
― Carl Sagan
You can't be a celebrity and be a Jehovah witness you need to choose one
Choose Jesus he's the savior. The gospel by which we're saved. We're under Paul's ministry today. Therefore we're not under the law of the old testament. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV)1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
And that takes us back to John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. So it's only by GRACE that we are saved not by works. Jesus did all the work and gave us GRACE (unmerited favor) as long as we have FAITH (believe) in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for SALVATION (trust in his blood). That's the gospel. Jesus said, Ye must be born again to enter into the kingdom.(accept Jesus as your SAVIOR)
Good thing they are not celebrities then. They are merely famous people, and yes, can be both.lol...
The Gospel Messenger Jesus is not God he is God’s Son read Proverbs 8:22-to 30 he said that God made him along with everything else and he worshiped his father and made his name known
if you don’t know Jehovah exodus 6:3 who made even Jesus you will not make it
dolphfan bc it’s stupid. It’s a damn cult and has stupid ass rules
Even Jesus pray for the God? So whats Jesus 's God name?
Wow actually learned something from this vid lol. Good job
So did I. My dad follows these... Ppl.. but Wow!!

There seems to be alot of hate speech towards Jehovah's Witnesses, whatever happen to loving your neighbor?
It's a destructive cult... I escaped at almost 18...
How is criticism of a belief system the same as "hate speech"? A religion that shuns former members, and encourages the break up of families, tells you you must refuse blood even if it means you or your child's life (or be subject to that communal shunning program), that their teachings cannot be openly criticised or questioned, and that 99.8% of the people on earth are going to die any day now.........has plenty of fair criticism coming it's way.
@@vandalayindustries8036 - Well stated!!
What happened to loving your children if they choose a different path? Not in JW. Shunning is the name of the game. Lots of love there. What about the hiding sexual predators? Not even warning the congregation? Look up the Australian Royal Commission. What about making children refuse blood transfusions for religious reasons, making them martyrs? Kids don't have a choice in the religion. Very loving indeed. What about their "end game"? 7 billion people on earth and only a few million JWs. When their Armageddon comes, it requires unbelievers death. Very loving. What about telling children, from the pulpit, to ignore preparing for your future with college and work, and to instead devote your time and money to preaching? Loving indeed.
Yup, definitely a lot of speech towards them.
*Video addendum/correction, the Bible translation JWs use was simply corrected to match its original language, Hebrew & Greek. Its not a changed bible, simply a return to its root meaning.
Gustavo Boldrini not it doesn’t they add words the change meaning that are barely in the original Greek.
@@romeostojka7232 thats not true. We, Jehovah's Witnesses, haven't changed anything. I don't mean at all to be rude or disrespectful...but its the other religions that have taken out, added things in to the Bible. Other religions have changed the meaning of the Bible. They have taken out God's personal name, Jehovah!
Disagreed.
If you think these people are really witnesses, you will believe anything. Maybe a parent was or something.
No wonder Prince was always gave douche asshole vibes thinking he was superior to us mere mortals. That's how my aunt's and uncle's act similar to Prince and they are also Jehovah Witnesses, they think we are not holy or good enough as human beings.
If they are jw they should quit cause god comes first in every thing than family is next plus I'm a witness
I'm studying with witnesses since I've been open hearted to jehovah my prayers are being answered one after another 🙏💯

Our own version of the Bible? If you mean updated to be understood for today and left Jehovah's name in it, then yes that's right.
Not updated or understood for today, changed to fit Watchtowers beliefs.
Yes indeed!!!!
@@justmadeit2 first of all, there are no proof the name had anything but JWHW, the reason it is spoken is because it should be, also we believe he leads us onto the right pad. So that clears that. Second and most important, I hear alot of people who accuse us of that, but can you use an OLD (not modern church related where the name jwhw is rewritten to lord or so) manuscript, and our bible, and tell me exactly what they "changed to fit"? You just scream what you hear from others and have 0 research yourself. Pls dont be sus. You can be someone better.
@@chase2bass860 I was born a jw, what you guys do regarding disfellowship, is crazy. I always thought it was. Family shunning family. If your not in your out. Don’t associate with worldly people (everyone beside u) I’m sorry to tell you but it’s crazy. & a cult, the new world translation was made in the 50’s. Jws founder was Charles Tate russel from the late 1800 early 1900. He had many false predictions and yet he still has a following through his church he made. It’s about to be 2021.

So you support policy that protect pedophiles within the organisation.
@@sorhu72, please only talk like this to those who enforce their beliefs, plus it's not the JW's it's the Watchtower and the elders, normal JW's don't know about this stuff.
Nokuthula Bond, I am sorry for their behaviour, but the pedophile stuff is true.
I don't suggest talking to a elder about this though, I heard that they lie to keep other's from panicking.
If you do want to look into this then I suggest waching a ex-JW's video on the subject, I know you don't like the "apostates" but it's just a suggestion, you don't have to but it's a good idea to see other's opinion on the matter.
Cookie Crunch studio that’s not true because i an one of the Jws now if a person was one back then ok that’s there past it’s up to the person and the elders protect us but we never treat them bad and I’m a Jehovah’s Witness i should know more than you don’t listen to anyone who doesn’t know
Cookie Crunch studio so I’m not gonna look st the video because that’s a waste of my time and i would never do such a thing

In the congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses they practice rejecting the blood and body of Christ in the Lord's Supper!
"STOP, LOOK, LISTEN: Luke 8:17 "For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor is there anything carefully hidden that will never become known and never come to light." it is part of the new covenant that Jesus made with his disciples to eat the bread that represents his body and drink the wine that represents his blood, how will you have eternal life? (Luke 22:19,20). doctrine of men or the word of GOD?" observe (John ch 3:16,17) 16-“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever exercises faith in him may not be destroyed but have eternal life. 17-For God did not send his Son into the world that he might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him." observe (John ch 6:53-57) 53- So Jesus said to them, "I say- to you with all certainty: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 - He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I do. I will rise again at the last day, 55- for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56- Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. Just as the Father who lives sent me and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me. the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". notice what Jesus said: Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because they close the kingdom of heaven to men; for you yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are on their way to enter." look at the Conclusion of Jesus (John ch 10: 09,10) 9- I am the door; whoever enters by me will be saved, and will enter and he shall go out, and find pasture.” 10- A thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
the only problem for Jehovah's Witnesses is not to take as an example what Jesus instituted in their memory, which was to eat and drink the emblems in the Lord's Supper! for it is one baptism and one hope of eternal life. Ephesians 4: 4-6 note 4- There is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in a hope to which you were called; 5- one Lord, one faith and one baptism; 6- God, unique and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all.

That's sad
They are not necessarily looking for converts. They are or should be preaching the "Good News of God's Kingdom".
I think not enough people read God's Word. Instead, they follow the word of those preaching or teaching as fact, no questions asked.. God says, "We all must "work out our own Salvation".
Unfortunately though WT ...the "good news" they teach...is that Jesus returned invisibly in 1914...and chose the JW religion in 1919 (again invisibly)......quite convenient that invisibility....isn't it? : )
Unfortunately...Jesus said when he returned.....the generation that witnessed his return would see the end.....that was 105 years ago.....so now we have the ludicrous "overlapping contemporaries" in a generation (making it up as they go along and as time runs out on their predictions from Jehovah).
Everybody in the picture in the watchtower below....are all dead.

Thats exactly what we do, our main goal is to teach people about god, and of course we want them to visit our meetings so their love for jehovah can grow even more.
Im catholic/christian and i know we hate each other alot and have diffrent beliefs but i respect Jehovas wittnesses
Thank you
Thanks man... and we dont "hate" Catholics we just dont agree with some of their beliefs is all. :-)
I have amazing JW friends but I feel bad for them. Stupid cult
I had one Catholic fellow dedicate seven full months in persecuting me at the job because I was a JWs. He was the foreman and his shouting at me made me catch my finger in the kick press. Had to take two weeks off to recover. When I went back, I found him with his nose stuffed with cotton. He had shouted at this other new fellow while I was gone and the fellow had broken his nose.
The people mentioned here are not true Witnesses.True baptized Witnesses would never follow a worldly path like these individuals have.They are not practicing the faith so please,stop calling them witnesses.Just because they attended a few meetings or studied the bible does not make them witnesses.True witnesses do not pursue worldly careers or lifestyles but are busy preaching the good news door to door!
The ideology always made sense to me. I just told my dad I don't want dedicate young and fail young, I was 18. I'm apart of the world, 7 years now but I still go back and they treat me with the same welcoming arms like I never left although they know I haven't been living a holy life. The media can overexgerate with JW and celebs, but the elders are usually more strict with the celebs because they have a huge influence and following that can tarnish the reputation of JW. But it backfires the opposite way.
It's so sad to see anyone regardless of wealth or status fall away from the truth over something as base as wealth and status ! And because you have made you'r choice and disowned the true God he now let's your heart change and the truth always sounds like foolishness among those who are perishing ! Oh Jehovah never let my heart change
please tell your cult, to stop coming to my house.

Jehovah witness are the most annoying people because lot of them don't practice what they preach
Venus and Serena Williams wear outfits that would get any other JW thrown out and shunned but they get by with it. Most JW kids are not allowed to play tennis or have ANY extra-curricular activities after school so the Williams sisters help the organization deny that fact. But I was in that mess for 32 years. They must give a LOT of money to be allowed to dress like that.
No matter what religion you are. People will try to talk you out of your beliefs. As a JW I'm proud to be one. Dont feel brainwashed at all. When I wanted to leave I was allowed to. Welcomed back two years later with open arms. Cults dont let people leave, they keep coming for you until you either come back or die. Once you tell the JWs you're not interested they do their best to respect your decision. And "the light gets brighter" as with every imperfect human, constant education and learning help ones understanding to become clearer so things the branch office may have publish back in the 1800s are going to say marginally different things than 2019. You wouldnt let a mere prophecy misinterpreted dislodge you from your faith if you Love Jehovah and his son. Not the word of man.
Ro I'm afraid your experience is not typical. In fact the organization has instructional videos shown to thousands at conventions and meetings on how to shun your adult children that leave or no longer believe. You don't even need to be disfellowshipped to be shunned, which is the case with me and many old friends and some family. That is an overly rosey view of what really occurs when you no longer believe.
In addition, the passage you are referring to has been misappropriated by JWs. The "light getting brighter" has nothing to do with flip flopping doctrines in the last days. It is a proverbial saying regarding an individual who is on a righteous path.
I want really referring to being disfellowshipped. But thanks for sharing your experience. Truly sorry to hear that things were handled that way. Also. I know about the saying. We use many of them if they fit the occasional.

"I'm like most people in the world. I'm a little selfish in what I want. I like doing my thing, my way," the actor says. "In my heart, I wanted to be a Witness. If it wasn't for the smoking of cigarrettes and all ... I would be a Witness." - Terence Howard
As for Prince the most sexually charged artist in music became a Jehovah's Witness. He would flip-flop on homosexuality, proselytize door to door and reveal his complicated and personal conflicts along the way.Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman were childhood friends, lovers and founding members of Prince's Revolution band. If Prince had a musical family, they were it.
Melvoin was told he wanted her to give a press conference denouncing her homosexuality and announcing that she was converting to Jehovah. "I was like: I guess we'll never hear from him again."
But just six years later, she stood beside Prince onstage in London, playing for millions of viewers at an awards show. In matching white suits, Melvoin and Prince hammered shoulder to shoulder on their guitars, him lustily singing "Purple Rain." Coleman was on piano. The early acceptance of the gay couple -- and then the rejection and acceptance all over again -- is an example of the puzzling contradiction that Prince acted out in his attitudes toward sexuality and religion
As for Serena like a lot of 'stars' that grew up in the JW cult - they are all FRINGE JWs. She is a known Black lives matter and LGBTQ Advocate. Serena can also famously appeared in an expletive video with Beyonce in which she could be seen twerking and dancing provocatively. In Jan 2018 she called on a fellow Tennis star to apologise after he tweeted that a visit to a Gay club " Made his eyes bleed"
So in summary this list is a farce....They can claim it, they vocalize it, but their life choices are not a reflection of what the watchtower preaches. This is the JW 1%... They ride the fence when it is convenient for them. And yet, they are not held to the same stringent rules the rank and file are.I respect her for living life HER OWN WAY...but it makes things unfair. A lot of JW'S had talents they weren't permitted to follow, and had to forego all in the name of remaining humble AND putting 'Jehovah 1st'.
I have read all of that
Not all
Stop looking at human error
I would say that this is true but those talented brothers and sisters are still using their talents til this day. But instead of following success in the world instead they use their talents for Jehovah. People who are talented in music make that music in our organization.

I remember in school a lil boy had to leave class all the time for certain activities and everytime he would cry. As children, we asked why does she make him cry? She explained it was his religious beliefs and had nothing to fi with her. My 💔 goes out to those children whom arent allowed to draw a pumpkin cuz its a sin 🙄
This doesn’t damage their life and I know this because I am a Jehovah witness in a Jehovah witness household it is a sin. A long time ago they used pumpkins and lit them up to try and summon demons from the under world and now they don’t look at the past of that and think it’s only for candy
Tacoman Gaming speak for yourself! I was a JW as a child and it absolutely damaged my childhood. I always felt like an outsider at school, couldn’t join in any holidays that I desolately wanted to, and is of that wasn’t bad enough, was an outsider with our own relatives. Seeing photos of their Christmas gatherings and bdays and knowing I didn’t get to join the fun with my cousins. And little things like being told Santa and the tooth fairy and Easter bunny, etc. are all fake to a young child? Being a JW is a childhood innocence killer.

Brothers & sisters, don't waste your time debating with the opposers, as their comments is proof that they've already made their decision to go against us anyways. Replies from opposers will be ignored.
No, its not "our own version" of the Bible. Its a translation. Meaning the original language was translated so that modern day people could understand it. Nothing is changed, only translated.
Where did millions now living will never die come from, or 1914 the generation that will not pass away, or any other of Jehovah's Witnesses failed doctrines come from?
You guys can't claim mistakes happen when Jehovah's Witnesses preach things outside the bible.
It isn't a translation, it's a sectarian paraphrase suited to support YOUR own beliefs. Example of this is John 1:1 where the NWT changes "The Word was God" into "The Word was a god." The JW "Bible" has 50+ changes to suit their non trinitarian and heretical beliefs.
Jehovah's Witnesses know the Bible well - however they are a very judgemental and complacent religion. Listen to what they teach from the Bible, but do not reveal confidential information to them as they can turn around and rip you open. They are the closest to the true religion.

I’m a Jehovah witness and we are actually kind people.👍🏼 Let me tell you something if you do something bad...Well you get punished(but not like mean stuff 😂) Jehovah ❤️
The gospel by which we're saved. We're under Paul's ministry today. Therefore we're not under the law of the old testament. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV)1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
And that takes us back to John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. So it's only by GRACE that we are saved not by works. Jesus did all the work and gave us GRACE (unmerited favor) as long as we have FAITH (believe) in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for SALVATION (trust in his blood). That's the gospel. Jesus said, Ye must be born again to enter into the kingdom.(accept Jesus as your SAVIOR)

Name a witness that does Rated R scenes in movies?
It's is a command by Jesus from the Bible that we preach from door to door or wherever we are, if youndont want us to call you can say so and they marknyoubas a Do not call, but from time to time we check uo because circumstances in people's lives change. It's an act of love on God's part to find others who need answers for God. If we do not warn others about the end of this system, we are responsible before God for not telling you about it.
All you need to do is tell them not to come back, and they will comply with your wishes. They don’t force their faith on you.

We all have the same Bible. Jehovah’s Witnesses just decided to translate the Bible, to make it a little bit more understandable. So, we called that translation, the New World translation of the holy Scriptures. Only because some people were not really understanding the English utilized in other versions like the king James version, the American standard version, and so on and so forth.
You are misinformed. The NWT isn’t just about putting in Jehovah’s name or using modern English. Compare scriptures that refer to worshiping Jehovah and Jesus. They use the word “worship” for Jehovah and “do obedience” for Jesus... yet in the kingdom interlinear the Greek word is the same “ego ami” meaning “I am”. The NWT removes the deity of Christ.
