THIS IS TO HELP CORRECT MISTEACHINGS BY THE WATCHTOWER OVER JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES, HEADED BY THE GOVERNING BODY MEN IN NEW YORK (PH 718 560-5000); PLEASE MAIL OR GIVE COPIES TO JW'S      1. 1 SAMUEL 14:31-35 shows God forgave men who ate unBLED meat to stay alive so emergency transfusions of blood actually are scriptural.  Also read Matthew 7:12 where Christ says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice. God does not want JW adults or kids to bleed to death as happens.  Acts 15 says abstain from blood but in the context of a meat market. You need to balance it with what Watchtower heads keep mistelling you.         2. GOD, CHRIST, Holy Spirit are 3 but one in holiness, what your own New World Translation at Romans 1:10 calls “Godship,” the same as what others call Godhead.  The Father is greatest in relative position but all three are equally, uniquely holy, sharing together eternity, power and substance (holiness).  You are mistaught that the trinity belief is the 3 are the same person.  The “three persons in one God” phrase means “3 in 1 Godship,” not “3 in the same person” which is what Watchtower misteaches you.       3. CHRIST SAYS pray to our “Father.”  Jehovah is a formal guessed at name for God, Yahweh more likely for the original Hebrew. Paul says use "Abba" (Dad/Daddy/Papa). Calling on God's name to be saved is calling for God to help, not uttering some pronunciation like a magical incantation. (Mt 6:9, Mark 14:36, Ro 8:15, Ga 4:6)        4. AT LUKE 10:1-7 Christ says go from a house in one town to a house in another, not door-AFTER-door.      5. CONTRAST what Christ says at Luke 17:2 about protecting kids to Watchtower ordering elders to keep sending so-called "repentant" pedophiles preaching at doors. Watchtower is being exposed for not doing background checks on elders in lands like Australia. Big payouts are going to settle abuse cases out of courts and media glare.      6. REVELATION 22:18, 19 condemns changing words in the Bible.  Your translation for example puts "Jehovah" in the New Testament where not in manuscripts and where not quoted from Old Testament scriptures.      7. COLOSSIANS 2:16 says don’t let others judge us over celebrating holidays. Didn’t angels and shepherds celebrate Christ's birthday? (Lu 2)  Thanksgiving has been celebrated in many lands even before in the USA.  God started an annual harvest festival plus a New Year's celebration. (Lev 23, Deu 16:13)        8. MATTHEW 24:45 mentions a wise and faithful slave over Christians and we know Christ is God's MOST faithful slave, not Watchtower’s heads. Why not put what Christ and the Bible say over what those men say?  Christ does not approve the cruel extreme type of shunning and discrimination Watchtower heads order against peaceful dissenters. Gov Body members get long vacations, trips around the globe, chauffeured in fancy cars,  medical-dental-barbering, high end apartment furnishings etc not holes in the wall like you are told.      9. GOD'S KINGDOM ORGANIZATION is not Watchtower on earth.  It’s God with the angels, still safe in heaven although ruling over all true Christians on earth. When Paul said there's "one faith"(Eph 4:5) there was and still is the one faith he spoke of, not Watchtower, but Christianity in the universal sense which has good, average and bad branches.  Many JW kids, adults, elders are bored, depressed, burnt-out, upset. Those who smile constantly are often the most depressed. A Pew Forum survey says most JW kids are quitting Watchtower.     10. CHRIST GRANTS great Christian freedom. (Ro 14; Jn 8:32)  Christians are not to judge so much but allow freedom to differ in non-essentials. Without freedom to openly differ, a fruit of Holy Spirit, JOY, (Ga 5:22) is missing.  Unity is by Love not robotic uniformity. (Col 3:14)  Watchtower discourages independent thinking and non-Watchtower group study.  Your heads have even had bedroom laws for married couples.  Where is the Christian freedom, love and joy in Watchtower? In 2010 the Gov Body men switched their Good News that “many alive in 1914 will never die but see Armageddon then paradise earth” to saying some in an Overlapping Generation will see the End. The real Good News is because of Christ all humans can be saved.

FOR HELPING THE PUBLIC TO COUNTER-WITNESS TO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES: You and your neighbors and friends can print out and make copies of this then hand the copies to JWs everytime they come to your doors.  Better, mail them or leave copies at the doors of any JWs you know, even as they come to your doors.  If there is a kingdom hall building, you may wish to slip copies under its doors.  In the past JWs have done the same at churches and the homes of pastors, priests or preachers.  Pray and then act out of love with all due respectfulness and you may be amazed at the blessings you receive in due season. DEAR MR/MRS/MISS Jehovah's Witnesses At My Door.  Please read these scriptures in your Bible: 1. YOUR NO BLOOD POSITION.  Please read 1 Samuel 14:31-35.  It shows God forgave men who ate unBLED meat to stay alive so emergency transfusions of blood are too scriptural.  Also read Matthew 7:12.  Christ says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice. God does not want you or your kids to bleed to death as now happens.  Acts 15 does say abstain from blood but in the context of a meat market. Balance it with other verses!    2. GOD'S NATURE.  Read Titus 2:13 in your Bible for who it says Jesus is. The trinity says God, Christ, Holy Spirit are equally holy.  The 3 are 1 in perfect holiness or what Romans 1:10 calls "divine essence" which your own translation calls Godship, others call Godhead.  The Father is greatest in relative position but all three are equal in being uniquely holy, sharing together eternity, power and substance (holiness).  You are mistaught the trinity belief is the 3 are the same person.  Few churches teach that.   3. GOD'S NAME.  Christ doesn’t say to pray to “Jehovah” which is a formal guessed-at name of God but to our “Father.” Paul similarly says use "Abba"  (Dad/Daddy/Papa).  We are to call on God's name to be saved in the sense of calling for God's help, not uttering some pronunciation like an incantation. (Mt 6:9, Mark 14:36, Ro 8:15, Galatians 4:6)  4. PREACHING. See Luke 10:1-7. Christ says go from a house in one town to a house in another place, not door-after-door. Note verse 7. 5. PROTECTION OF OUR LITTLE ONES.  Luke 17:2.  Contrast what Christ says about protecting kids to your JW Elders following orders to keep sending so-called "repentant" pedophiles preaching at doors.  That endangers little ones. Did you know your heads have disobeyed laws on background checks in lands like Australia. 6. BIBLE: Revelation 22:18, 19 condemns changing words in the Bible.  Your translation for example puts "Jehovah" in the New Testament where not in manuscripts and where not quoted from Old Testament scriptures. 7. HOLIDAYS.  See Colossians 2:16.  It says don’t let others judge us over celebrating holidays. Didn’t angels and shepherds celebrate Christ's birthday? (Lu 2)  Thanksgiving has been celebrated in many lands even before in the USA.  God started an annual harvest festival plus a New Year's celebration. (Lev 23, Deu 16:13)  8. PERFECT LEADER.  Matthew 24:45 mentions a wise and faithful slave over Christians and we know Christ is God's MOST faithful slave, not your group's heads. Why not put what Christ and the Bible say over what those men say?  Christ does not approve the cruel extreme type of shunning and discrimination your heads teach against peaceful dissenters. 9. ORGANIZATION.  God's Kingdom organization is still safely in heaven although ruling over all true Christians on earth. (Mt 6:1, 2) When Paul said there's "one faith" there was and still is the one faith he spoke of, not your Watchtower group, but Christianity in the universal sense which has good, average and bad branches.  Are JW kids and adults happy or feeling bored, even depressed? You yourself know. We read and hear most of the kids are quitting. 10. FREEDOM & JOY IN CHRIST.  Christ grants us great Christian freedom. (Ro 14; Jn 8:32.  Christians are not to judge so much but to allow freedom to differ in non-essentials. Without  freedom to openly differ, a fruit of Holy Spirit, joy, (Ga 5:22) is missing.  You can't enjoy independent thinking and group study.  Your heads have even had bedroom laws for married couples.  Where is the Christian freedom, love and joy in your organization?
