What Is The Truth About Jehovah Witnesses by Nobody: 3:39am On Mar 28, 2011
I grew up as a Jehovah witness and my family is well reknown in the western part of the country (Ilesha) as prominent Jehovah witness family. Presently, i am not an active witness because of what i have seen happening in most congregation i have attended and the organization as a whole.

If you are a witness, please answer the following questions

1 The Watch Tower library only contains publication that was release after 1950. Why? Ask the elders in your congregation and i am 100% sure that you will not have it in your congregation library and if you insist, you will be threaten with apostasy and dis-fellowship like i was

2 Why was the presents of Jesus Christ coming change from 1875 to 1914 ( it was change in 1920) - If you are a witness, you will not know this because no publication after 1950 mention it. If you need the book - herald of Christ presence-, i can send you the PDF

3 Why was the date of Armageddon change from 1920 to 1925, from 1925 to 1950, from 1950 to 1975? The explanation for 1975 Armageddon day was ludicrous. The Governing body made a mistake in calculating the date. Please check the internet for this

4 Do you know that the society join the United Nation for 10 years from 1991 to 2001? During this time, the membership was renew every year and the Governing Body (GB) and the society as a whole only dissociate themselves after the knowledge became public.

5 Please, research the Beth Sarim and Beth Shan and what the Society says about this

6 Why the doctrinal changes in 1995 about the generation that will not pass before the end of the world. It was the core believe that JW holds but it was change because the generation that witness 1914 are nearly all dead. It was change to overlapping generation in 1995 to account for the shortage of their prediction

If you are a witness, answer this question please and make sure you research your answer very well

You didnt complain when you were still active as a JW.It is now that you have been dis-membered for unrepented sins you're complaining.
Re: What Is The Truth About Jehovah Witnesses by Nobody: 3:47am On Apr 02, 2011
Dis-fellowship?

Unfortunately NO. Just inactive because of all these nagging questions.

So, you cant answer the question?

I don't really know much about JW, but what i know about them is mis-interpretation of the words of GOD, and their false teaching about CHRIST. But it's not all about critizing them, but knowing the truth, and act according to the words of God, coz, God has a Standard, which can never be changed or manipulated by anybody. My brother, after dis-fellowshipping yourself from them due to their false doctrine(according to you for now) how do you want to continue with your spiritual life?

i am a deacon and retired soldier(but nt tired). I served in edo state. Stop waisting ur time on all those things. Go to igieduma headquaters and you will see the books.
all books after a certain time are out of print and JWs always refine their beliefs.
Dates & prophesies by JWs always reflect present understanding: 1914 was correct as end of an age not end of world.
History of all events are documented book "JW, proclaimers of God's kingdom" am surprised u did not mention that this book exists and is free. I got it for free on my very first visit to their headquaters in edo.
JWs are d only few religious org that united jews and palestinians (i saw it while visiting Tel Aviv in 1999) also black and white during apatheid in 1970.
Have you the courage to say which religion succesfully thwarted Adolf Hitler's resolve to force all Germans to support the wars.

Judge strange doctrines carefully!!

this is false out of igorance. Only few churches teach the truth about christ, that's y milliöns of xtians can't defend their beliefs where a moslem is tearing down the gospel bc we have been fed with mis-knowledge. Usualy, only a JW and a few others can confront a moslem sucessfuly w/out blindly sticking to senseless church lithurgy.
For politics & culture in religion join catholic or Islam.
For business in religion join redeem ccg.
For poverty of earthly pleasures go to deeper life.
For liberalism and alternative to orthordox worship join anglican, baptist or CMS.
For strict adherence to primitive christianity join jehovah witness.

For philosophy and logic and science worship join grail movement or hare krishna or bhudists or shinto etc.
For innovations in worship join any pentecostal church aka bible believing church.
If you don't find any of this good enough, form ya own.
