LETTERS THAT HELP PEOPLE
SUCH AS FAMILY, FRIENDS, ELDERS EXIT THE WATCHTOWER!
Our Christian freedom exit-makers are letters
that are proved able to greatly help JW family and friends either to quit the Watchtower Society or at
least lighten up about matters such as their shunning. Sometimes a person who doesn't leave Watchtower
outright nevertheless does so mentally. This enables the person (and you if you are family or have been a friend) to enjoy life
and happiness much better. You can also mail copies of any exit-makers you want to family, friends, also to the
public such as preachers, doctors, nurses, judges, attorneys, police, legislators etc. Again, these are proved effective
for educating people fast! As with sewing seed, one sewing might or might not be enough, though it can
help to send, wait, resend time to time for maximum effect. Feel free to edit or translate items if you wish.
The best approach is to mail letters for if you put such a letter in a JWs hands s/he is usually going to be with
at least one other JW and they are under orders and training to later put such a piece of "opposition"
literature in the trash. However at home out of sight they are as curious as anyone else would be and so definitely
do read them although Watchtower magazines and platform talks insist that such items are ineffective (hoping no doubt to brain-wash
those present into believing that and so never trying).
Once a JW is informed s/he is never the exact same afterward.
Most cut down on if not totally end giving their time-money-energy to Watchtower, lighten up on how they treat exJW family
members. Occasionally some family member or friend may get angry but if you wisely didn't tell them you
sent the letter/s then s/he can't be sure, can only make wild guesses or try to pretend s/he knows it was
you who sent the letter/s. If s/he says you sent the material or implies you did then you can politely
say "Why do you say that?" and repeat it if needed.
In the United States no return address is required.
In Canada some kind of return address is required. You may include as a return address that of some business, etc.
Different lands do things differently. That these do work is proved by personal experience as well as by what others
who have used them have had to say. So start mailing with confidence. Put aside any doubts Watchtower tried to
implant into your mind to the contrary.
Taking positive, lovingly intended action like this will not only
help you feel empowered instead of helpless but could also help you un-program your ownself. If you are currently
a totally non-religious person and uncomfortable with the fact that most (not all) of the Freedom Letters contain scriptures
then you need to note that these aren't for you but for them and they definitely do require countering scriptures--it's
much like fire needed to fight fire. Unto all of good-will, the best of wishes.

1.
FREELY COPY & USE: STUDIED WITH JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES? (JWs) KNOW ONE? BEEN ONE? If a JW you can count time for answering
questions brought up here & you can get help for those you can’t answer from your friends or congregation elders.
Elders especially need copies to know what congregations and other elders are learning. The Watchtower Society (WT) over
JWs includes good people but WT misteaches them. To start, WT magazine for JW members (Sept 15, 2010, p 23) says "The
anointed & their other sheep companions recognize that by following the lead of the modern day Body, they are in fact
following their Leader, Christ.” Doesn’t that go against the Bible saying to go by Christ & itself? (Re 14:4,
2Timothy 3:16) Most JWs don’t believe & deny or try hard to ignore it but the Body also teach Christ is the Mediator
for only 144,000 yet 1 Timothy 2:5, 6 point-blank says Christ is the mediator for “ALL” men. (WT Feb 15, 1991,
p 18 par 11; WT Sept 15, 1989, p 30, 31; WT Apr 1 1979 p31) In 2010 the Body admitted the 1914’s Generation won’t
see the End but an overlapping generation will; Christ clearly says no human knows when the End will be! (Mt 24:36)
2. Though WT’s Gov Body men order JW family & friends to shun exJWs harshly don’t scriptures condemn
cruel unfair judging as seen at James 2:4, 13; 3:12? Doesn’t Paul say a "Majority" avoided a serious wrongdoer
as he suggested (2Cor 2:6) but the word "majority" means a minority did not, proving there was & is freedom
to decide who to associate with or not. Did you ever notice that? Paul could "order" Timothy about work but Christians
have great freedom to differ. (Ro 14:1-22) Love never fails, (1Co13:8) and LOVE (not forced uniformity) is the only true bond
of unity. (Read Col 3:16) As 1 Cor 5:11-13 & 1 Cor 15:33 say, there's natural common sense judging about association
but there’s no mandate for Judicial (Judging) Committees to judge so harshly as to drive people to suicide.
The Body put out a JWs-Only WT magazine in 2011 with the article “Jehu Champions Pure Worship” that talks
up Jehu’s killing apostates but Christ says love even our enemies. (Mt 5:44) Christ said he divided
families over if some become Christians but never advocated the destruction of families.
3. WT teaches always abstain from blood transfusions
but Christ says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice (Mt 12:7); 1 Samuel 14 shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate unBLED meat
to stay alive. WT’s Awake! magazine of May 22, 1994 boasts of & shows photos of JW kids who died refusing transfusions.
So, from 1945 to now an estimated up 250,000 vulnerable older JWs and even some children have senselessly bled to death.
No wonder they have been sued by upset parents, e.g. www.watchtowerlawsuit.com. If able to see all the corpses, media
would be all over the story, legislators put a stop to it! After negative publicity in Australia over the
pedophilia issue HQ put into papers there they published they let Tamera Coakley get artificial blood made of cow’s
blood to live but kept it out of papers in the U.S. (google articles)
4. Elders are told now they’ll be
deleted as elders if supporting kids through college although WT put Bethelites like Shane Brady through law school. (google
for him) Didn’t Judah Ben Schroeder, son of Body member Al Schroeder (deceased) also get a law degree? Wasn’t
Luke a doctor, Moses and Joseph well-educated? Weren’t much-loved brothers Carey Barber & John (Jack) Barr of the
Body correct before dying to oppose darksider ilk ruining WT’s image and finances? Why the warring of Gov Body and darksider
congregation elders against the anointed remnant away from headquarters? Scripture says don’t be a meddling busybody
(1Pe 4:15) so spying on & speaking against JWs using Facebook etc is unscriptural. Stalking and the like to protect
pedophiles, harass assumed apostates etc only bring reproach http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/198595/1/Spiritual-spies Pedophiles also harass outspoken adults protecting kids, also
act as wiretapping peeping Tom fanatics etc. In 2011 thirty-five criminal charges were established in Latrobe
Valley court, Victoria, Australia for violation of the Working With Children Act and documentation filed there regarding a
sex club scandal that was on Australia’s Gold Coast. (http://www.magistratescourt.vic.gov.au/ (At search select “Criminal”) As this becomes
widely known we shall seel Geoffrey Jackson & the rest step down or show their arrogance & apostasy by staying on
the Gov Body.
5. Menlo Park, CA, elders Jonathan D. Cobb Sr.
and Walter Arlen St. Clair. (google Menlo park kingdom hall) have sued Service desk staffer, Circuit Overseer Paul Koehler
& a group of area elders listed with allegations such as fraud to get valuable property from the legal trustees, mobbery
(systematic harassment) and assault. Nearing 2014 the 100th year after 1914 more darkness happens, e.g.
London’s Night Stalker, WT staffer pedophile Jesus Manuel Cano etc. (Re 18:4) WT’s 2010-published secret elders
manual even guides elders to not delete fellow elders with major sins (=crimes) Google summaries and critiques of it. Service
Dept has Elders send all JWs deemed “in good standing” preaching at doors including so-called “repentant”
ones. Most kingdom halls have at least one pedophile they hide & shelter but doesn’t Christ says protect Little
Ones over any who would hurt them!? (Lu 17:2) There are good WT Elders but also sociopaths & pedophiles into peeping Tommery,
wiretapping bedrooms, assaults, fraud, stalking & group harassment http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/198595/1/Spiritual-spies. (lovenorris.com law firm) WT has paid millions to settle out of court &
the glare of news cameras with victims of pedophile elders including at Napa Valley, CA, in 2007. They must also settle big
with sisters angry at gropers etc. As Joel Adams why Service Dept’s Merton Campbell is allowed to keep & move about
pedophiles.
6. WT heads say revelations by silentlambs.org, Dateline NBC, BBC etc are Satanic
lies but your own eyes know they have kept demanding more & more money, in the U.S. put skyscrapers up for sale, are installing
credit-debit card donation machines in assembly halls. Didn’t Christ opposed moneychangers in the Temple?
Why do they stress money if not to pay for molestation of kids, groped sisters, and high class GB perks?
The average Bethelite just gets toothpaste money.
7. WT heads for 10 years were secretly affiliated as
a UN NGO before quitting & then when exposed lied they had the NGO liaison just to get a library card to research (false);
this second still secretly have other WT corporations & individuals acting on their behalf in Europe as UN NGOs. If
it’s really so ok to use NGOs to protect WT kind of like Paul asking Caesar’s help, then why do they hide
these ties from regular JWs, disfellowship JWs supposed “compromising with the world” by using WMCA services?
Because it’s hypocrisy. Matthew 24 also speaks of an unfaithful slave who proves to be a hypocrite.
The perfect bond of Unity is not from blind obedience & a worshipful attitude to WT’s Governing Body men
but from Christian LOVE including freedom to differ some. (Do read Col 3:14, 1Co 13:8, 13, Ro 14:1-22) WT’s hypocrisy
has caused many, especially young JWs to quit all religion even be militant atheists. Whatever your own
belief preferences, those still wanting fellowship without WT can set up free phone conferences at http://freephoneconference.com/ Use anywho.com to phone others in kingdom halls all over the
U.S., use similar services in the U.K., Canada, Australia, Brazil, Mexico etc; To get WT’s own views etc phone now:
845 306-1000 or 1-718-560-5000.
|
1. KNOW A JEHOVAH’S WITNESS?
ARE YOU ONE OR STUDYING?: Increasingly more older JWs see the Watchtower Society (WT) over them as it is but stick with it
only to keep from losing family ties; however most young JWs are quitting not wanting their whole lives ruined by men in Brooklyn
opposed to normal clean fun, higher education, etc. WT is so money hungry in Sept 2010 two Menlo Park, CA, elders filed a
lawsuit against Circuit Overseer Paul Koehler, a Service Dept desk elder with correspondence initials SDG, other elders working
with the C.O., detailing allegations of fraud, mobbing (systematic harassment), WT’s C.O. even pushing down one of the
elders. See the public papers at http://ex-jw.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Lawsuit-CV10-3907.pdf The plaintiff elders are legal trustees of the hall under the old arrangement;
contend SDG and the others wanted them out to get full control. One estimate is the hall property in good economic times may
be worth up to 2 million dollars.
2, Napa Valley, California,
court records have shown WT got complaints elder/Red Bluff, California, City Overseer James Henderson committed sex crimes
1963-93 but Merton Campbell of the Service Department's California desk kept reappointing him!!! Henderson was at congregations
at Clearlake Highland, Ukiah, Upper Lake, Red Bluff. See http://www.watchtowerdocuments.com/secrets.html) Such things go on under mask of religion from NYC to Chicago, KC, L.A., worldwide! Pat Garza (deceased) alleged WT
Gov Body member Ted Jaracz (deceased) of the Service Dept had molested her and others while they were children when he was District
Overseer in L.A. Victims of the many pedophiles sheltered by WT in the U.S. have gotten millions to quietly sign settlements.
(lovenorris.com law firm, silentlambs.org nonprofit, A.P. news 2007) Crimes by unbalanced ones
have grown nearing 2014, 100 years after 1914: London’s Nightstalker, Jesus Manuel Cano (WT staffer), Phillip and
Nancy Garridos etc. To save money WT has sent many Bethelites back home and will send more. January 2002-05 WT downsized by
1,000 members worldwide, the downsizing to be about 20% of staff, including all 3 main US locations in the US since Brooklyn
printing has been cut to just 30% of what it was. WT plans to reassign COs back to local halls possibly as soon as 2011.
3. In 2008-2010 WT was working fast toward moving out of Brooklyn,
shed branch facilities in Central America, Austria, Czech Republic etc for selling later, has been remodeling and selling
some halls, sold some skyscrapers etc. Donations to WT from concerned decent JWs were said down 40%. Halls are remodeled to
increase value for later resell plus get more interest money. WT insists on more money, since the 2008 market crash has been
investing in gold, was listed as meeting for hedge fund investing! In 2010 U.S. tax authorities were examining WT and there
was an investigation re David Lynn Carter of Virginia, alleged murdered by poisoning from a fleshly sister guided by 2 local
elders if not someone beyond those after reporting sexual abuse by the elders. WT has had Elders keep sending all JWs deemed
“in good standing” to preach at doors, thus including those the elders or WT’s Service Dept deem “repentant”
pedophiles.
4. WT sent a March 14, 1997 letter or directive
to Bodies of Elders saying “It may be possible that some who were guilty of child molestation were or are now serving
as elders, ministerial servants, or regular or special pioneers. Others may have been guilty of child molestation before they
were baptized. The bodies of elders should not query individuals.” WT also orders elders to not believe what a child
victim says against a molester unless there are two witnesses who saw him molest the child. In 2000 WT had 23720 molesters in its database for the U.S. alone but elders
are ordered to shelter them. (3 concerned internal WT staff) When elder Bill Bowen went to media about it WT disfellowshipped
him, called him a liar and told JWs the media lied and are tools of Satan. Parents and victims are told to shut up or else
be disfellowshipped for slandering the pedophiles and just “Wait On Jehovah.
5. Most congregations already
have at least one pedophile whom WT’s Service Dept has Elders keep hiding and sheltering largely out of concern for
WT's image as "Jehovah's" organization on earth." There are good though misled WT Elders but WT
headquarters on down also has some entrenched who are pedophiles, peeping Toms, stalkers, mobbers, wiretappers of bedrooms,
thieves etc. Bethel phones and computers are monitored, people avoid candid talk even while walking through the tunnel complex,
there are two-wheelers to quickly get suitcases etc away if “Gog of Magog” comes to seize Bethel. A letter to
Bodies Of Elders in 2010 stated JWs can now be labeled as “brazen” so if they don’t do whatever told, act
fast enough for elders etc can be more quickly and easily disfellowshipped, more easily smeared by the word. Forum postings
have given details of fanatical local Elders and their helpers systematically spying on, stalking, harassing dissenters, exJWs,
letting the participating congregation members count time for it! For an example: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/198595/1/Spiritual-spies People are starting to ask might some or all of this
stuff may go right back up the ladder into the Service Department staff? When Jaracs lived the Gov Body was paranoid
about moles in U.K. and the E.U. Will Gerritt Losch and David Splane and Co. add to what is already darkness,
blind leading the blind?
6. Active JWs not leaving WT
out of concern to keep family ties can cut donations of time and energy to WT even more, mail copies of this to inform other
JWs more. This also thanks those who have already cut WT donations according to an expert by financial 40%,
and reminds that instead it's possible to donate to help two good causes. One is Silentlambs (silentlambs.org) that
helps expose pedophiles harming JW kids and grandkids. The other is Lawrence Hughes' battle against WT and
its attorneys in court and out to protect JWs including kids who have bled to death following WT's doctrine
even against use of emergency whole blood transfusions. Facebook.com is handy for meeting, reuniting. Much
of this newsletter’s information has been on jehovahs-witness.net and other forums. Please e/mail copies of this.

1. In the Sept 15, 2010
Watchtower magazine the Watchtower Society (WT) over Jehovah’s Witnesses tells JWs to get busy working not socializing.
Might the strident tone somehow be a sign they are being pursued by U.S. tax authorites, desperate to pay money? WT
protested taxes to France, (July 1, 1998 letter in NY Times), supported Jimmy Swaggart Ministries effort to dodge taxes. (Oct
1988 friendship brief; filers James M. McCabe, Donald T. Ridley, No. 88-1374) That lost; it stopped asking money for literature
but did it act fast and clearly enough to satisfy IRS? It keeps selling buildings in Brooklyn, sends Bethelites home, has
weird changes re the 1914 Generation, has European branch corporations keep working with the UN, cuts branches in Central
America, some in Europe; but to please hardliners flip-flops on education, marital sex etc. Tax-dodging efforts show
its Governing Body are not God’s MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave, more like embarrassed and embarrassing corporate
heads. Active JWs need to ignore any Waco/Jonestown style orders they might issue.
2. WT teaches
the Good News is “many now living will never die and will live forever on paradise earth” but Paul says we all
sin and therefore we will all die. (1Cor 15:22) So the Good News is instead the resurrection hope given
to us due to Christ's ransom sacrifice. Watchtower teaches a cross is a horrible murder weapon but
Paul says BOAST of the cross for in Christ’s case it symbolizes resurrection victory over death. (Ga 6:14, 1Co 1:17-18)
Christians began using rabbits and eggs as symbols of new life resurrection at Easter time not as WT says as vestiges of pagan
sex worship! WT says a Little Flock of literally 144,000 go to heaven but Rev 19:1 says a “great
crowd” is in heaven. Barely any JWs partake of wine and bread emblems but Christ says Christians must. (Jn 6:54) Some
experts say the word Easter may be from Eastern not the goddess Eastre as Christianity came from Eastern parts.
3. WT heads order JW family and friends to rigidly shun exJWs but scriptures condemn such unmerciful, all too often unfair
judging. (Jas 2:4, 13; 3:12) Paul says a "Majority" avoided a serious wrongdoer as he suggested (2Cor 2:6) but the
word "majority" means a minority did not, proving each has freedom to decide who to associate with or not. Paul
could "order" Timothy re work but Christians keep freedom to differ. Love never fails. (1Co13:8) True unity is from
love not forced same beliefs on non-essentials. (Col 3:14, 1Co13:8,13) The One Faith (Eph4:5) is Christianity with good, average,
bad branches. Good Christianity has more freedom, fewer rules. (Ro 14) Joy is a fruit of Holy Spirit. (Ga5:22)
4. Christ says God wants
Mercy not Sacrifice. (Mt 12:7) 1 Samuel 14 shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate unBLED meat to stay alive.
But Watchtower’s Awake! magazine (May 22, 1994) boasts of and has photos of JW kids who died refusing transfusions.
See on ajwrb.org. JWs are taught to teach others to call God “Jehovah” but Christ and Paul
say call God “our Father,” not Jehovah. (Mt 6:9, Mr 14:36, Ro 8:15, Ga 4:6) Calling on God’s name to be
saved (Ro 10:13) isn’t pronouncing a guessed at formal name but calling on God as a powerful, caring Father. 5. WT teaches earth will remain
forever (Ec 1:4) but ignores verses saying after earth passes away a new earth will come. Read Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1.
So the Bible says earth passes away but will be re-created! WT says "the dead are conscious
of nothing at all." (Ec 9:5) but also teaches the dead will either be resurrected as a reward on earth or to heaven,
the wicked getting to sleep forever. But God is just so evildoers will be punished fairly, not just sleep. Souls are spirits
that are or were combined with a body. WT says souls don’t survive death, ignoring although dead
bodies are unconscious, scriptures speak of human spirits as angels in heaven. 6. Watchtower Elders send all JWs deemed
“in good standing” to preach at doors which includes those the elders deem “repentant” pedophiles,
and it is estimated that most JW congregations have at least one such pedophile whom Elders hide or shelter but Christ says
to put the protection of our Little Ones over any who would hurt them. Read Luke 17:2! Victims have received
millions of dollars in settlements. (silentlambs.org, lovenorris.com) WT’s pedophile policies bring allegations of stalking,
bedroom wiretapping, suspicious murders such as in Oregon. 7. WT says oppose celebrating holidays but Paul says don't let others judge
us as Christians or not regarding holidays. (Col 2:16) Job’s kids celebrated birthdays.
Read Job 1:3 then Job 3:1,3. Angels, wise men and shepherds celebrated Christ’s. God gave Israel a harvest festival
of thanks (Lev 23:33, Deu 16:13); many nations like Germany and Canada have Thanksgivings. Leviticus 23
shows God approved New Year celebrations for Israel. JWs claim most all churches teach the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are
the one same God or person. Instead most teach the 3 are different persons but one in divine nature, meaning absolute holiness.
Being equally holy they are called deity or God just as Titus 2:13 says, but the Father is greatest. (Jn 14:28)
We are trying to help JWs including friends and family. Please share copies now.

1.
For Jehovah’s Witnesses and others, as caring Christians we wish to reason on matters in a respectful, loving fashion.
For example the Watchtower Society of JWs has JWs teach as Good News that "many now living will never die and live
forever on paradise earth” but at 1 Corinthians 15:22, Paul says that we all sin and therefore we will all die.
The Good News is we have the resurrection hope thanks to Christ's ransom sacrifice. So, which is correct: A.
the Bible saying we all die, or B. Watchtower saying many will never die?
2. The idea of living on
a paradise sounds great, but isn't living with Christ in the beautiful starry heavens where he says the Father has “many
mansions” (Jn 14:2) more appealing? Eyes of a fleshly human cannot see all the wondrous things that a human resurrected
as a spirit in heaven can see. (1Cor 2:9) Ecclesiastes 1:4 says “the earth will remain forever,”
which Watchtower emphasizes, but Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33, and Revelation 21:1 counter-balance by saying earth will pass
away but a new earth will come. So in the long run earth remains forever as it passes away but is re-created.
3. Watchtower teaches JWs to teach people that only a “Little Flock” literally
numbered 144,000 go to heaven, but read Revelation 19:1 which says the “great crowd” is in heaven. Watchtower
stresses that Ecclesiastes 9:5 says "the dead are conscious of nothing at all," and Watchtower says all who die
are either resurrected as a reward on earth or to heaven, but the wicked just keep sleeping peacefully forever. God is just,
so contrary to what Watchtower mis-states there will be some kind of punishment, not just letting the wicked sleep.
4. Yes, dead bodies are conscious of nothing, but since human spirits become as angels in heaven (remember the 144,000 humans
going to heaven), spirits or souls (spirits once with a body) do survive death of the body. Watchtower calls survival of souls
(spirits come from bodies) a teaching from pagans like the Greeks but in fact it’s also a Bible-based teaching. Read
and reflect upon 1 Corinthians 15.
5. Watchtower misteaches that the trinity belief is that there are three persons who
are the same God, but instead the belief teaches that there are three persons who are different but who form what Romans 1:20
calls “godship” in the New World Translation. Most other Bibles translate the word as “divine essence”
or “godhead.” The trinity teaching says the Father is relatively greatest. Very few churches teach the Father
morphs (changes) into Christ, a teaching called modalism, not trinitarianism. Watchtower’s own New World Translation
at Titus 2:13 says our God and Savior is Christ Jesus meaning he's absolutely holy and so equal to God on that account,
but speaking relative to the Father, the Father is greatest.
6. The
Watchtower (WT) (Jan 1, 1954; p 31) said don’t worship Christ as God,and WT's then new New World Translation
changed the word translated as "worship" instead to "obeisance." The 1945 Yearbook gave Watchtower
Society's legal Charter which said one purpose for the Society was the "public Christian worship of Almighty God
and Christ Jesus." WT's Nathan Knorr had said in the WT (Oct 15, 1945; p 313) whosoever worships God must
“worship and bow” to “Christ Jesus." WT's Joseph Rutherford in WT (Nov 15, 1939; p. 339)
said Jehovah “commands all to worship Christ Jesus” who is “the express image of his Father, Jehovah, and
because he is the Executive Officer of Jehovah always carrying out Jehovah's purpose (Heb. 3-6)." WT's
Charles Taze Russell in Zion's Watch Tower (July 15, 1898; p 216) wrote: "Yes, we believe our Lord Jesus while
on earth was really worshiped." 7. As you know JWs are allowed to use wedding bands, money, names of days of the weeks, all from pagans, but Watchtower
says don’t celebrate Christ’s birth, Christmas, although angels and shepherds did. Job’s kids also celebrated
birthdays. (Proof: read Job 1:3 then Job 3:1, 3) God had a harvest festival for Israel like Thanksgiving. (Proof: Lev 23:33,
Deu 16:13) Germany, Canada, many lands have one. Leviticus 23 tells of celebrating New Years. Easter eggs and rabbits began
and stay as symbols of new life by resurrection, never were, as Watchtower say, part of sex rites for Christians.
8. Watchtower teaches a cross is a horrible murder weapon you need to shun, but Paul
says BOAST of the cross for in Christ’s case it symbolizes resurrection victory over death. (Ga 6:14, 1 Cor 1:17-18)
The word "stauros" in the original Greek language in the New Testament can mean either cross or stake, but never
just mean stake. First century pictures including on ossuaries show crosses not stakes. Forensic research by Dr. F. Zugibe
has proved suffocation would be in “minutes” if Christ died on a stake but in “hours” if with arms
outstretched on a cross even as Luke 23:44 and Matthew 27:45-46 say it was. The cross is not a mark of “false”
Christians as Watchtower says, but of true Christians.
9. Watchtower points to its Governing Body men as if “the
Faithful and Discreet Slave” put over all true Christians and what they have, but the MOST faithful and discreet slave
ever of God is Christ himself! Paul says there’s “one faith” at Ephesians 4:5, and the one faith then and
now is general Christianity which has branches that are good, average and bad. Watchtower has wrongly mispredicted and hinted
at Armageddon for the Generation alive in 1914, the same for 1975 etc even though Christ says only the Father knows the hour
of the end. (Read Matthew 24:36) 2014 is almost here, the 100th anniversary of 1914!
10. JWs are told if everyone
in a group doesn’t believe the same thing, it’s a lack of unity, but Colossians 3:14 says the one true bond of
unity is Love, not robotic same beliefs on everything. Christ says he is gentle and his yoke is light (Mt 11:30), but JWs
well know being a JW is actually a very heavy, rough yoke. Read Romans 14 and John 8:32 thoughtfully about the great freedom
that Christians are supposed to enjoy.
11. At Luke 17:2 Christ says put the protection of our Little Ones over any man who
would abuse them. As JWs know Watchtower has all JWs deemed “in good standing” (and all includes so-called “repentant”
pedophiles) to preach at doors, thus putting them around kids of JWs and the public! When JW elders or others molest kids,
the kids’ parents have been told to “wait on Jehovah” (code for shut up) to protect the Watchtower organization,
but Roman 13:1 says to obey the government officials who say to turn pedophiles in.
12. The Bible shows conversions
took place quickly, no long “Bible study” needed. Please contrast Watchtower’s door-after-door method
with how Christ at Luke 10:1-7 told early Christians to go from a house in one location or city to a house in another, to
not go "transferring," the very word used in Watchtower’s New World Translation.
13. As the New World Translation also shows at 1 Samuel 14:31-35, God forgave Saul’s
men who ate unBLED meat to stay alive, yet Watchtower orders that JWs and their kids not even take an emergency blood transfusion
to stay alive. At Matthew 12:7 Christ says God wants Mercy over Sacrifice. Since 1945 an estimated 200,000 JWs have
bled to death senselessly; even one senseless death like this is an apostacy against the will of God.
Watchtower calls those who point these things out "apostates," has them harshly shunned, and keeps telling people
to die senselessly.
14. Christ and Paul at Matthew 6:9, Mark 14:36, Romans 8:15, and Galatians 4:6 say to call
God “our Father,” not just formal names like Jehovah or Yahweh. Think about this: if you were Mark or Suzie Jones
would you call your father Charles Jones, Charles Jones, Mr. Jones, or simply lovingly say dad, daddy, father? Calling on
God's name to be saved (Ro 10:13) does not mean pronouncing a guessed at formal name, but it means calling on God as a
powerful, caring Father in heaven to save us.
15. John 8:32 says the real truth sets us free so isn’t it
contrary to Christian freedom when Elders enforce bedroom rules on intimacies between married couples? JWs who go by
all the many guilt-trip rules can never feel truly “free,” and it has a major effect on their lives and families.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 says the scriptures themselves teach and guide Christians, not a human organization headed by busybody men
who go beyond the scriptures.
16. Watchtower is a corporate business operating as a religious organization that
puts its own existence over the happiness and safety of rank-and-file members. Christ says he himself is the Truth, Way and
Life at John 6:68 and 14:6. Do you really think Watchtower gives you the real Truth, actual Life or a Way of lasting
happiness? No, and the sheep know the real Master’s bell.
17. When people leave Watchtower it orders JW family
and friends to shun them harshly, rigidly, but Christ promises those who do will get new and truer friends. (Mt 5:11) Although
at 2 Corinthians 2:6 Paul says a "Majority" had cut ties with a serious wrong-doer as he had suggested, the word
"majority" means a minority did not do as he had suggested, so it proves they had the Christian freedom to decide
who to associate with or not. Paul could "order" Timothy in their relief work, but in Christian matters all sincere
Bible-trained Christians then and now have freedom to differ some, not have to be robots. 18.
Watchtower says JWs must use it itself as the “sole channel of truth;” but Christians say the only true “channel
of truth” is Jesus Christ. Watchtower says it is the sole organization representing God on earth.
In fact “God’s organization” is in heaven ruling over true Christians on earth. Watchtower
misclaims the right to usurp the power of God’s true and perfect organization.
19. Did you know Watchtower disfellowshipped three
branch elders and a ministerial servant in late 2009 for saying what the Bible itself says at 1 Timothy 2:5: ”For there
is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” Watchtower’s
view is that Christ is not the mediator for “all” people or all Jehovah’s Witnesses, but only for anointed
JWs, particularly those on Watchtower’s Governing Body in Brooklyn. They also believe the Bible was
directly written for the anointed not all JWs. Every congregation has JWs who differ with Watchtower about
these things, and if anyone doubts it just clearly ask each adult JW if Christ is the mediator for them too or just the 144,000
anointed.
19. It’s important to get out
of such a high control group mentally, emotionally -- and, prayerfully, also as soon as possible totally! (Re 18:4) You may
start fading out slowly now or handle it however you know is best for your own situation. If you have to stay in a while you
can use the time to get lots of new names and addresses to mail copies of this to.
20. The real anointed brothers
and sisters of Christ believe in Christian freedom and ask you to help more starting this second. The lives and happiness
of the littlest JW kids, the elderly, and others are endangered by the Governing Body misleadership destroying Watchtower.
They have squandered members' donations, sending Bethelites of 20 to 40 years away across the U.S., Europe, Latin America
and Japan. This does not show they are either wise or faithful, does it.
21. Even if you feel you must attend Watchtower at least once in a while for the sake
of family ties, remember you don't have to donate to it so much of your time, money and energy. If you outright totally
quit Watchtower, for example, you may find a satisfactory alternative church as many exJWs have done or else start your own
in-the-home house-church as the earliest Christians had (example Ro 16:1), which Ray Franz and many other exJWs also speak
of highly.
22. Christ says where even 2 or 3 Christians are, he is too. (Mt 18:20) Such groups enjoy UNITY by
the strongest bond which is love and freedom to differ. (Col 3:14) It's as easy as agreeing to allow others freedom to
differ. (Romans 14) Use the Bible instead of Watchtower magazines. It's also easy to form new groups if you want.
Hebrews 6:1 gives what it says are the essential beliefs for Christians. Just stay focused on showing genuine Christian love,
especially hands-on loving-kindness and Christian freedom to differ.
23. Please freely make and share copies of this. Feel free to translate it into
other languages too. Watchtower has told people other JWs won't read it, but that's false, most do read it so
long as it comes in the mail or by email. Human nature is curious; told not to read something often makes even more people
want to read it.
24. If you still don't think this works, then mail a whole bunch then sit back and watch
what happens. For some change will be slow, for others faster. Knowledge is power but now you have what it takes to fight
fire with fire, that is scriptures with scriptures. This is here ready to be copied and sent now. The real truth sets you
free and it will set others free! (Jn 8:32)

DEAR JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES: Thanks. Although you didn’t convert me I appreciate your explaining your beliefs & now ask you to
read this to understand why I & other Christians have own different beliefs. For example you teach “many now living
will never die but live forever in paradise earth” & that sounds wonderful but Paul says we all sin so we all die
(1Cor 15:22) plus heaven is even more awesome. You teach Ecclesiastes 1:4 says “earth remains forever,” (Ec 1:4)
but ignore Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1 say earth will pass away then a new earth will come. Most Christians like myself believe
Earth ends but will be re-created, in that way staying forever. See? Revelation 19:1 says the “great crowd” are
“IN HEAVEN” but your leaders teach only a “Little Flock” literally numbered 144,000 go to heaven &
the great crowd is ON EARTH. Don’t the scriptures say the Good News of the kingdom centers on the resurrection not living
forever on earth? (Jn 3:15 etc) Christ says in heaven are “many mansions;” (Jn 14:2) & Paul calls heaven’s
wonders unimaginable. (1 Cor 2:9) Picture resurrection as a spirit passing among zillions of sparkly stars and incredible
while feeling great to draw closer to our Father in heaven. That’s what I & others look forward to. (1 Cor 15) You
don’t have to agree but it’s only fair you see WHY we believe as we do. 2. The biggest difference is surely that YOU THINK we believe the Father, Son & Holy Spirit are one person, a 3-headed God. Actually
most of us don’t believe anything so weird & not taught in the Bible or original trinity statement. What I &
most other Christians do believe is there are 3 DIFFERENT persons one in “homoiousios”
translated substance or divine nature. That divine nature is that they are holy. To
be holy is to be divine. I looked in your own New World Translation & saw Romans 1:20 uses the word “godship;”
other translations use “godhead,” “divine essence” or “divinity.” The trinity statement
says God Almighty the Father is greatest in His relatively superior position but the three are equal in divineness. Especially
look at Titus 2:13 in several translations. A few churches teach God changes to & from Christ & Holy Spirit but that’s
not the trinity teaching. 3. Ecclesiastes 9:5 says "the dead are conscious of nothing at all," so you teach that all who
die including the wicked sleep peacefully forever. Well, dead bodies are what are conscious of nothing. You’re told
at least 144,000 human spirits go to heaven, so human spirits do survive death of the body & can go to heaven, meaning
it’s definitely in the Bible that they survive, not just something pagans wrote which is what you’re wrongly told
to teach us. Compare body to matter & spirit to energy. A soul is a spirit that was or still is in a body. If God just
let the wicked sleep forever, He would be unloving to not provide justice for victims. So there is some kind of punishment
or disciplining for those unforgiving, unrepentant & cruelly harming others. Some of us believe it’s literal fire
for at least a while, others that it’s isolation away from God, etc. The Bible says true UNITY is by LOVE not having
to express the same views on all things like robots which is UNIFORMITY not true UNITY. God alone is the
perfect Judge, & He will not just let vicious evildoers get to sleep peacefully forever even though you are taught and
teach that. 4. Your New World
translation says “do not be transferring from house to house” at Luke 10:1-7. Read it to see
it does. This & other scriptures show Christ & the disciples went from a house in one town to a house in a different
town. The Bible also shows conversions did not take place after studying months or a year. Remember the jailer, Cornelius,
the Ethiopian, & thousands in Jerusalem all became Christians quickly. As to getting the Good News preached these past
2,000 years, who has been doing so? Was it only your group that only began in the late 1800s or by general
Christianity? You may think Catholics, Baptists etc aren’t active witnessing but though it’s
less in nations where Christianity is already well-known Christian missionaries are indeed still highly active. Christ tells
us how to address God, namely “our Father in heaven.” Paul says use “Abba” meaning Papa or Dad. (Ro
8:15, Ga 4:6) You use the formal name “Jehovah” invented in the Middle Ages instead of the respectful title Lord
or the name Yahweh most scholars think was the right pronunciation. Use whatever you will but know when scripture says call
on God’s name, it means ask help as if when you are a child who is crying out for help from a powerful Father.
5. You guys use wedding
rings, money, names of the days of the weeks etc just like the rest of us. Those are all from pagans, yet you say don’t
observe holidays as you think they’re from pagans. You say don’t celebrate Christ’s birthday but the angels
& shepherds did. You are told Santa Claus is based on some ancient god but Saint Nicolas was an actual Christian famed
for giving to the poor. When you read your own translation at Job 1:3 & Job 3:1, 3 you can see the days Job’s children
celebrated were days of birth. Birthdays give joy (Ga 5:22), celebrate that God gave us life. You are taught eggs & bunnies
are vestiges of pagan sex rites but they began & continue as symbols of new life, that is the resurrection hope Christ
gives. You say the name Easter is from Eastre a goddess but some dictionaries say it’s from Eastern as Christianity
came from the East, that is the Middle East. The Greek word “stauros” can mean cross or stake but never only stake.
Paul says BOAST of the cross as a resurrection symbol. (Ga 6:14, 1 Cor 1:17-18) He never said shun it like a murder weapon!
Paul at Colossians 2:16 says permits freedom of conscience about special days, holidays or Sabbaths. Even Halloween started
as “All Hallows (Holy Ones/Saints) Evening,” when kids were dressed like faithful tortured, martyred holy ones
or saints to encourage them to be similar. 6. Your September 15, 2010, Watchtower magazine on page
23 (the version for JWs only not the one for only the Public) says “by following the lead of the modern-day
Governing Body” Jehovah’s Witnesses are in fact following Christ.” Go back
& re-read it. Do you yourself really agree with that? True Christians follow Christ not men in between
God & themselves. Since your top men insist they are “the Faithful & Discreet
Slave” over all true Christians, isn’t Christ himself still THE VERY MOST faithful & discreet slave of God
even above those men! When Paul wrote there’s only “one faith” at Ephesians 4:5 he didn’t mean your
then non-existing group but general Christianity which has branches that are good, average & bad. Surely
you can see that. Your heads keep insisting Christ is only Mediator for 144,000; see it in Watchtower magazines of 2-15-1991,
9-15-1989 & 4-1-1979 but Christ is Mediator for ALL as 1 Timothy 2:5 says.
7. In 2010 you had to stop saying some JWs in the 1914 Generation will
see the End. Instead you must teach an overlapping Generation seeing some who lived in 1914 will see the
End. Similarly until 2009 your heads insisted all who go to heaven were sealed in 1935. JW elders are told to stress for you
guys to not use wine & bread at your Memorial (Last Supper communion) but Christ at
John 6:53 clearly says ALL must do so who want life. A youtube.com video shows your then
President steering a stadium of JWs to believe 1975 would bring Armageddon.
8.
Colossians 3:14 says
the only true bond of unity is Love. It’s not UNITY but UNIFORMITY your heads impose on you when they claim every Christian
must believe exactly the same. Christ says his yoke is gentle & light, but being a JW can be tiring, boring & depressing.
The closer 2014 comes (1914+100) the more news showing those who are unbalanced among JWs doing zany things. Most young people
are quitting JWs & you’re ordered to disfellowship not just stop associating with but CRUELLY shun them for leaving
your group. JW adult kids are told to shun parents who left but God says honor your mother & father.
JW kids are told to not say pledges but photo passports show Watchtower Presidents have always signed pledges of allegiance
on those in order to travel. Your heads teach you to view flags as idols, yet Psalm 20:5, Song of Solomon
2:4, 6:4, 10 all speak well of flags & except in rare cases as with the Nazis they can be & are treated with deep
respect but not used for worship as if gods! God says governments are for good order (Ro 13:1) & your top heads in Brooklyn
vote every Wednesday morning, but yet you’re pressured & denied the right to vote for better governments.
9.Christ himself says protect Little Ones, that any man abusing them would be better off cast into the sea.
(Lu 17:2) Likely in most every JW congregation is at least one pedophile yet your heads order elders to not tell JW women,
children who these dangerous wolfish men are. They keep sending so-called “repentant” pedophiles to preach at
doors & even study with kids. The 2010 elders manual exempts Bodies Of Elders from having to delete older elders who waited
years to confess they molested kids or are of like ilk. (Chapter 3, Verse 19) Upset parents are told unless 2 witnesses saw
their child molested to wait quietly for Jehovah or be disfellowshipped. It’s natural & in the Bible for Christians
to warn other Christians to not associate with someone who hurts them but no scriptures say to apply shunning so cruelly it
tears apart families & sometimes causes people to suicide. The old saying is hate the sin not the sinner. Some have weaknesses
for smoking, looking at the other sex, etc but that’s not nearly like those who molest kids! Christ said he’d
divide families as they are divided into those following him in doing good things & those doing bad. He never said destroy
families! 10. 1 Samuel
14:31-35 shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate unBLED meat to stay alive, & Christ (Mt 12:7) says God wants
Mercy not Sacrifice. Your heads permit many blood factions, since 2004 even hemoglobin, but to make it look like they are
staying tough on blood, refuse to tell even your Hospital Liaison Committee members they also permit “cryosupernatant,”
so that JWs including kids keep dying needlessly! Only if a doctor mentions it to a patient who calls your heads in New York
do they confirm approval. In some lands there is no access to hospitals let alone ultra-expensive “gold standard”
bloodless surgery that doesn’t work anywhere when people are rapidly bleeding to death. The May 22, 1994 Awake! magazine
has photos of kids your heads boast died refusing transfusions. 11. Since Galatians 5:22 says joy is a fruit of Holy Spirit, is your joy
increasing? If you were not born a JW but became one can you still remember the joy you used to have?
John 8:32 says truth sets people free, & in Christ people are safe & happy. You must inform people for them
to know the truth. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says scriptures themselves teach & correct us. Christ calls himself the Way, Truth
& Life. (Jn 6:68,14:6) Sheep know the master’s bell. Where to go? From Watchtower to Christ.
For fellowship find a group where you feel safe and comfortable. 12. Thanks for letting me explain these differences for better mutual understanding.
We feel most of you are decent people just now realizing you & your best elders were misled about 1914 etc & many
of you are becoming rightly shocked to discover the happiness of your families is at stake due to the misteaching.
Human heads fail us but our heavenly Father does not. Love never fails!.. Feel free to e/mail copies of this for othersas
it can help save & improve lives.

The following has no scriptures but makes a lot of points!
The heading says it's for the Public but JWs getting copies too will read it. An informed JW is at least
mentally from then on an ExJW.
DEAR PUBLIC, DID YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY OVER JEHOVAH’S
WITNESSES? SHARE COPIES.
1. Watchtower teaches that when
Armageddon ends the world, a great crowd of Jehovah’s Witnesses will survive but all non-JWs will be destroyed, yet
JWs are urged to warmly, lovingly greet and befriend those visiting kingdom halls and who study to become JWs.
2. Newcomers and studied are not told things such as Watchtower has mispredicted dates
for when the world would end, thus disrupting many lives. One of the many false dates for the end was 1975
and one for a “marked” date was 1914.
3. Watchtower has
told Jehovah’s Witnesses to die and have their children die rather than take emergency blood transfusions; many have
and many still do. See ajwrb.org.
4. Those who
grow up as Jehovah's Witnesses are not permitted holiday celebrations, not allowed to participate in organized team sports
or extra-curricular school activities, pressured to not work toward college degrees etc. Most young JWs are quitting
so as not to have all the rest of their lives wasted.
5. JWs such as youths who engage in petting or fondling, other sex outside marriage,
those who lapse into smoking etc are severely rigidly shunned, a practice called being “disfellowshipped” or, in
the case of those not yet baptized, “put on public reproof.”
6. Watchtower has policies that shelter pedophiles,
especially those in positions as Elders; and they have intimidated victims from speaking out. See silentlambs.org.
7. Watchtower Society
tells members that news critical of the Watchtower Society is from Satan the Devil even when the sources are highly reputable
TV news, newspapers etc. They will throw away things put in their hands but, happily, if you mail them a copy (such
as what you are reading), most will quietly read it anyway, and for many it begins an exiting process. 8. Watchtower has tried to not pay its back taxes with penalties to France. In the United
States it supported Jimmy Swaggart Ministries bid to not pay taxes on literature sales until the U.S. Supreme Court defeated
JSM. 9. One theory is that Watchtower may have
been put into receivership to U.S. federal authorities over taxes, acting “quietly” in order to discourage Waco
style suicides, especially in view of all the 2008-2010 sales of much of Watchtower’s real estate (some skyscrapers,
farm, more halls etc). 10. Watchtower elders have sometimes done
stalking including stalking by group, invaded privacy by secret videotaping; there are growing allegations about wiretapping,
etc. Crimes by JWs have been soared during 2000-2010; just surf the internet to see it. 11. Watchtower’s Governing Body is dictatorial. Women are treated as second class
members, sometimes battered and abused, told to stay quiet to not bring “Jehovah’s” image into disrepute. 12. Watchtower in 2010 began telling Circuit Overseers to
tell regular JWs they must obey orders from Watchtower even if they seem “weird” or something they know can be
disproved from scriptures.... Clearly JWs need to not obey weird or potentially dangerous orders from Watchtower! Please
share copies of this.

JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES teach
the Good News is “many now living will never die and will live forever on paradise earth” but Paul says we all
sin and therefore we will all die. (1Cor 15:22) The Good News is the resurrection hope from Christ’s ransom sacrifice...
JWs teach a cross is a horrible murder weapon you need to shun. Paul says BOAST of the cross and that is because in
Christ’s case it symbolizes the resurrection victory over death. (Ga 6:14, 1Co 1:17-18) Christians began using rabbits
and eggs as symbols of new life resurrection at Easter time not as vestiges of sex worship! JWs teach that a Little
Flock literally numbered 144,000 go to heaven but Revelation 19:1 says a “great crowd” is in heaven. Barely
any JWs partake of wine and bread emblems but Christ says for life his followers must do so. (John 6:54) Watchtower orders JW family and friends to shun
those quitting JWs. Scriptures condemn unmerciful, unfair judging. (Jas 2:4, 13; 3:12) Paul says a "Majority"
avoided a serious wrongdoer as he suggested (2Cor 2:6) but the word "majority" means a minority did not, proving
each has freedom to decide who to associate with or not. Paul could "order" Timothy in relief work, but in Christian
matters we keep freedom to differ, not be robots. James opposes formal judging as with 3-man JW committees. Try to not
shun back those who severely shun so they feel embarrassed, may change. Love never fails. (1Co13:8) JWs teach to always abstain from blood transfusions
but Christ says God wants Mercy over Sacrifice (Mt 12:7); 1 Samuel 14 shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate unBLED meat
to stay alive. Thei JW Awake! magazine of May 22, 1994 boasts of and shows photos of JW kids who died refusing transfusions.
See ajwrb.org... JWs teach call God Jehovah but Christ and Paul say call God “our Father,” not Jehovah. (Mt 6:9,
Mr 14:36, Ro 8:15, Ga 4:6) Calling on God’s name to be saved (Romans 10:13) does not mean pronouncing a guessed at formal
name but calling on God as a powerful, caring Father. JWs teach the earth will remain forever, never end, (Ec 1:4) but ignore verses saying after earth passes
away a new earth will come. (Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1) So the Bible says earth passes away but will be re-created,
different from what JWs teach. JWs teach "the dead are conscious of nothing at all," (Ec 9:5) They say
the dead will either be resurrected as a reward on earth or to heaven, but the wicked just keep sleeping peacefully forever
but God is just, so, contrary to JWs, evildoers will be justly punished, not just given sleep... JWs teach the soul does not
survive death, ignoring that although dead bodies are conscious of nothing, scriptures speak of human spirits as angels in
heaven. Souls are spirits that are or were combined with a body. JWs wrongly say survival of the soul is not taught
in the Bible. JW Elders send all JWs deemed “in
good standing” to preach at doors including those they deem “repentant” pedophiles, and it is estimated
that most JW congregations have at least one such pedophile whom they hide or shelter but Christ says to put the protection
of our Little Ones over anyone who would hurt them. (Lu 17:2) Victims have received big settlements. See silentlambs.org. JWs say don’t celebrate holidays
but Paul says don't let others judge us as Christians or not over celebrating holidays. (Col 2:16) JWs teach against
birthdays and Christmas but Job’s kids celebrated birthdays (Read Job 1:3 then Job 3:1,3); angels, wise men and shepherds
celebrated Christ’s. God gave Israel a harvest festival of thanks (Lev 23:33, Deu 16:13); many nations like Germany
and Canada have Thanksgivings. Leviticus 23 shows God approved New Year celebrations for Israel... JWs claim most all
churches teach the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the one same God or person. Instead most teach the 3 are different persons
but one in divine nature, meaning absolute holiness. Being equally holy they are called deity or God just as Titus 2:13
says. Interested readers can make and
use copies of this to help more JWs exit or lighten up on shunning etc. Mail copies to any you know or know of, or if you
go to a kingdom hall, assembly or convention site leave copies there. When Elders ask leaving JWs “where will you go?”
they can answer “To Christ, the same as you need to.” Many safer groups exist for fellowship.
Forming their own house churches is another good option. Unity is by love, not by forced sameness
of beliefs which is uniformity not loving unity. Read Col 3:14; 1Co 13:8, 13. May all
avoid Watchtower-Pharisaic style judging, debates or a doomsday focus, but focus on actively showing love. Any readers wanting
to give the Watchtower organization a chance for denials, rebuttals or spin are welcome to phone 718 560-5000.

TESTIMONIAL: "In about 2001 I mailed about 70
letters to homes of Jehovah's Witnesses in the congregation that I was then in, also some to some other JWs attending
a different congregation meeting in the same hall, and a sprinkling to JWs scattered about in Illinois. The Elders gave
some blistering Thursday night talks. They said not to listen to the lies, that only weak ones would do so. They
practically shouted. JWs don't preach hellfire but the elders that night came as close to it as possible even mentioning
bodily harm to "the underground."
It was the neatest thing. All I could do to not laugh.
As scripture says in Deuteronomy don't fear such false prophets. They didn't know from where the letters were
coming, were like mad men flailing the air.
When I look back in 2010 I find that many of those who got the letters
have by now quit attending Watchtower meetings. I also heard contributions have really dried up and what's left
of the congregations are likely to merge with a third congregation. I hear that many who have stayed in it no
longer go out in service. A number of the elders have also quit.
While I can't
claim the letters did "all" of this, I believe they probably did. At the minimum they definitely laid
the ground-work. Some of those who got copies probably passed their own copies along to go by what I heard about the
circuit.
So don't listen to either Watchtower or those who are negatively disposed who claim letters
can't or don't work. If you feel forced to attend the meetings to keep your family and friends, why not put
that to use. Go to the conventions, get all the names you can, look up addresses, then mail, mail, mail. If you
ever felt helpless before, you no longer will.
Now you can have all the arrows, so shoot those arrows.
Their only "arrows" are broken, loud voices, yes, but of no use.

| FREE FRIENDS & FAMILY FROM WATCHTOWER MISTEACHINGS |
1 Samuel 14:31-35 (read it please) shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate meat
with blood to stay alive and Matthew 12:7 says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice! Some 200,000 JWs including kids (David
A. Reed's Blood On The Altar) have died since 1945. Blood substitutes don’t work fast enough
for those bleeding fast.
Christ orders us to protect our Little Ones first (Lu 17:2) yet ALL “JWs in good-standing" (even so-called
"repentant" pedophiles) are to preach at homes along with unsuspecting women and children. Christ
is the MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave of God so shouldn’t we listen to Christ more than any group of men in Brooklyn? You are told the Good News is many now living will never
die but Paul teaches all sin and so all die (1Cor 15:22). The actual “Good News” of God’s Kingdom is the
Christian hope of resurrection brought by Christ. Ecclesiastes
1:4 says Earth will never end but other verses say heaven and Earth will pass away then a new heaven and Earth come. (Mt 24:35;
Lu 21:33, Re 21:1) Revelation 19:1 says the "great crowd" is where? In heaven.
The heavenly hope is also noted at Jn 14:2, 3; 1Co 15:20, 2Co 5:1, 2; Ga 1:8, Philippians 3:20, Jas 1:17.
Heaven’s gorgeous
and yearning to be with Christ is natural for Christians. Elders often pressure “anointed”
partakers to quit partaking at Memorials. A traveling Watchtower rep has estimated 50% of JWs stay in Watchtower
only to not lose JW family ties due to the Watchtower’s severe cruel shunning. At that such shunning is unBiblical for Paul at 2 Corinthians
2:6 says a “majority,” so many but not all had shunned a serious wrongdoers as he had suggested.
He could order Timothy in their relief work but not lord over other Christians, only suggest. Major
proofs against “shunning” are: James
2:4, 4:12 and 1 Corinthians 6:1. 1 Corinthians 15:33 says people naturally warn others when someone is a dangerous influence
but, still, we are not to overly or formally judge. Luke 6:37 says "Do not judge, and you will not
be judged." In late 2009 four elders at the London
branch were disfellowshipped for teaching when 1 Timothy 2:5 says Christ is the Mediator between “God and men,”
the word “men” applies to all humans. Watchtower’s stand against Christ being Mediator
for all humans goes back to the April 1, 1979 Watchtower magazine in its “Questions From Readers.” Most
JWs try to overlook this point or hope in vain it might be reformed but in fact if you teach Christ is the Mediator for all,
Watchtower will disfellowship you too. Where can
those leaving go? Many read the Bible itself, some have house churches (Romans 16:1) or have gone to safer
Christ-oriented churches. Please consider passing along copies of this.
|
Besides the severe shunning (disfellowshipping) that the
Watchtower Society over JWs uses, the Watchtower heads have caused many JWs to bleed to death from not taking a transfusion,
sheltered so-called "repentant" pedophiles among unsuspecting JW women and children, etc. As said, they also
keep destroying countless families and lives via their disfellowshipping/harsh shunning policy. For active JWs
to see clearly that despite some cherry-picked scriptures, the Bible also has scriptures against the Watchtower policies and
misteachings, it is necessary to fight fire with fire, scriptures with scriptures, false facts with real facts, which is what
is done here.
Remember that even if some of you who read this may no longer be
as religious, still, these effectively help those who do still think the Watchtower Society over Jehovah's Witnesses goes
by Bible "Truth," and so it is that these items can quickly help JWs un-study or de-program as they
use scriptures to counter what they have been going by, having the misinformation drummed into them year after year.
As said, you fight fire with fire; misapplied scriptures with accurate counter-balancing scriptures. Doing nothing,
would be to do exactly that, nothing. So, these, on the other hand, do something!
Some of the following are
long, others short. Some do and some don't mention the name of any specific group such as Jehovah's Witnesses
or Mormons, etc, etc. Just read until you find one that you feel would work best for your own situation and needs.
Modify any if and where you feel the need.
It's very true that Watchtower-appointed Elders and official
publications try to discourage people from distributing these and similar items by mail and email by mis-informing their
members to get them to either (1) throw away the items when they come upon or are given copies of them, and (2)
untruthfully claiming that the items don't work.
Contrary to the Watchtower's propaganda to
discourage Ex-JWs and others from providing the material to active JWs such as family members, the items do work.
Otherwise why would Watchtower be so insistent that they not be read, and keep warning members to not read them?
That's common sense, and it better to go by that than what Watchtower has mistaught about it.
Many, not
just this author, can tell you from experience that they work so long as kindly worded, accurate and with some scriptures
etc for reference. I've personally used them and guaranteed you they work. Sometimes, for example, with
the blood issues lives have been quickly saved. I can honestly tell you that's true because I was
told by an internet posting that I had saved a person's life this way.
As briefly said, it's been unfortunately
that a lot of ExJWs, doubtlessly including some reading this, although leaving Watchtower have kept in their minds
the Watchtower-planted idea, propaganda or brainwashing that it's a waste of time and effort to mail items exposing Watchtower
misteachings and wrongs. For emphasis, again, just recognize that this is what they want people to think, not the Truth
about it any more so than with their misteachings on many other things like the false date-settings including 1975.
People in general as well as JW family members and friends still in Watchtower do read the material when it comes in the
mail. Yes, if you stick it in their hands JWs will likely throw it away in such a situation when at a
householder's door, but when they get a letter from someone in the privacy of their own homes, it gets read.
In fact the more JWs are told by Watchtower and the Elders it appoints not to read informative letters, the more eager
most are to do just that.
JWs who get these items are immediately helped to start making some changes you'll
like. They may stay in "nominally," but quickly move to mentally leave it by doing
less for such a cult, giving it less or nothing at all for monetary donations, ignoring the Watchtower's orders
to "strictly" shun family and friends who quit them. If not a "knock-out" punch, an
Exit-maker item(s) at the least causes many to soften up and encourages them to leave later. Also, the more
seeds you sew, the more chances that some will sprout.
Some ExJWs and other friends find it good to not mail items
directly to family members and friends still in it, but to start by mailing to other JWs connected closely to the loved ones.
Those get softened and weaned off Watchtower, then the still-JW family members and relatives, seeing these others have left
or stopped so much support of Watchtower, feel better about doing the same. The real, lovingly presented truth definitely
does set people free.
Please also note that letters mailed in Canada need a return address, unlike with
letters mailed from within the United States. If in another land such as the Phillipines, the U.K. etc go by whatever
is right in your own location. -- Thanks for reading this, and now here's some Exit-makers!

DEAR JEHOVAH’S
WITNESSES: Did you know 1 Samuel 14:31-35 shows God forgave all Saul's men who ate un-BLED meat to stay alive; Christ
at Matthew 12:7 says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice. So why die or have others die unBiblically? The Watchtower Society over you orders All JWs including so-called
"repentant" pedophiles to preach at homes along with unsuspecting JW women and children despite Christ warning to
protect Little Ones first. (Lu 17:2) Pedophiles are statistically almost 100% likely to re-offend; sometimes commit other
crimes like peeping-Tommery and bedroom wiretapping etc. Since 1972 a Watchtower directive has let “repentant”
pedophiles stay Elders. There are other ways to witness. Christ and apostles often preached informally; went from a house
in one town to one in another, never door-after-door. Watchtower's own New World translation (Luke 10:7)
says don’t be transferring about. Hands-on kindness beats words; Christ literally fed with fish and bread not just words.
Paul says don’t let others judge us as Christians or not
over celebrating holidays (Col 2:16), but Watchtower says do just that. Not only did angels and shepherds celebrate Christ's
birth but Job 1:3 and Job 3:1, 3 show Job's children also celebrated days of birth, that is birthdays. Happy times
build happier families.
Watchtower’s teaching “many now living will never die” is the exact opposite of
Paul's teaching all sin and therefore all will die (1Co 15:22). The “Good News” is instead the resurrection
hope. Earth will never end (Ec 1:4) but the Bible adds heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven and Earth
will come. (Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1) So it's in the sense of being recreated that Earth remains forever. Revelation
19:1 says there will be a "great crowd" in heaven not that only a “Little Flock” go to heaven. Read
the Christian hope for heaven at Jn 14:2, 3; 1Co 15:20, 2Co 5:1, 2; Ga 1:8, Philippians 3:20, Jas 1:17. Unlike Watchtower
Christ says his all followers must partake of the wine and bread. (Jn 6:53, 54).
Note that regarding Watchtower’s style of shunning, James 4:12 says “There is only one Lawgiver and Judge,
the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?” 1 Corinthians 6:1 say judge
only "trivial" things as in business here on earth though the Bible says at resurrection some will even judge angels.
Still, this is the earth. James 2:4 tells judgers “Have you not discriminated among yourselves and
become judges with evil thoughts?” Verse 13 calls judging harmful. We naturally warn others when
someone is a danger (1Co15:33) but, still, we are not to overly or formally judge. (Lu 6:37) Paul says
the "MAJORITY" followed his saying shun a wrongdoer (2Co2:6), meaning a MINORITY chose not to, yet he nowhere condemns
that minority.
Christ visited and ate with imperfect people; Pharisees acted too righteous
to and they condemned him for it. Modern Pharisees say shunning is tough love meant to shame others, but rigid, harsh-style
shunning is anti-Christ as it causes not shame but depression, sometimes suicide. Christians must follow
Christ, scriptures and common sense not those who write they know the Bible but don’t. (Re 14:4)
Scriptures say there are three who are different (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but one in what various
translations at Romans 1:20 call Godship (New World), godhead, divinity or divine essence, meaning they and only they three
are 100% totally holy. Watchtower men falsely tell JWs and others trinity means the three are one same God person or a three-headed
God. Christ shows himself, not Watchtower heads is the MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave of God (Mt 24:45): "I am the
way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Jn 6:68; 14:6) Lovingly told truth (Jn
8:32) sets free so please make and share copies of this.

EXTREME SHUNNING IS
UNBIBLICAL AND CRUEL
Doesn’t James 4:12 say “There is only one Lawgiver and Judge,
the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?”
Doesn’t
1 Corinthians 6:1 say judge only "trivial" things as in business here on earth though the Bible says at resurrection
some will even judge angels. Still, this is the earth.
James 2:4 tells judgers “Have you not discriminated
among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” Verse 13 says mercy beats judging.
1 Corinthians
15:33 says people naturally warn others when someone is a dangerous influence but, still, we are not to overly or formally
judge. Luke 6:37 says "Do not judge, and you will not be judged."
At 2 Corinthians
2:6 Paul says the "MAJORITY" followed his saying shun a wrongdoer, meaning a MINORITY chose not to, yet he nowhere
condemns that minority.
Isn’t it true that Christ visited and ate with imperfect people, while Pharisees
pretended they were too righteous to do so and condemned him for doing so?
Some of today's "Christian" churches are run by men similar
to the ancient Pharisees in that they say their shunning is loving or tough love meant to shame others but in fact their rigid,
harsh-to-extremist style shunning is anti-Christ as it causes not shame but depression and sometimes suicide.
Finally, isn’t it true that a true Christian considers Christ himself as the MOST
Faithful and Discreet Slave of God, and it’s better to follow Christ and the scriptures themselves than those who pretend
they know the Bible better than others but don’t. Mt 24:45)
Please make and share copies of this. John
8:32 says people who learn the real truth really are set free.

DEAR JWs AND THOSE STUDYING WITH JW'S,
HOW MANY OF THESE DO YOU KNOW
>1 Samuel 14:31-35 shows God forgave all Saul's men who ate un-BLED
meat to stay alive; Christ at Matthew 12:7 says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice. The senseless shedding of even one life means
blood guilt.
Paul says the "MAJORITY" (2Co 2:6) followed his saying shun a wrongdoer, meaning a MINORITY
chose not to, yet he nowhere condemns that minority. Watchtower actually has formal “Judicial Committees”
of JW Elders although 1 Corinthians 6:1 tells Christians to only judge "trivial" things as in business, and James
2:4-13 calls judging harmful. Those on Judicial Committees need to note James 2:4 says “Have you not discriminated among
yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” It's natural and scriptural to warn others of really evil association
but Watchtower goes beyond the scriptures, is way too harsh and rigid; its type of disfellowshipping has destroyed lives,
caused depression and suicides.
Watchtower pressures "all" JWs to preach door-to-door, again: ALL JW's,
and all includes their sending so-called "repentant" pedophiles preaching along with unsuspecting JW women and children
to unsuspecting home of the Public and the Public's children. In contrast Christ says protect the Little Ones. Read Luke
17:2! Pedophiles are statistically almost 100% likely to re-offend. There are alternative ways to witness. Christ and apostles
often preached informally; they went to a house in one town then walked to another in another town, didn’t knock door-after-door.
In fact the New World translation says at Luke 10:7 to not be transferring about; and besides, witnessing by hands-on loving-kindness
beats words. Christ also literally fed with fish and bread.
Paul says do not let others judge us as Christians
or not over celebrating holidays (Col 2:16), but JWs are mistaught to do just that. Not only did angels and shepherds celebrate
Christ's birth but Job 1:3 and then Job 3:1, 3 (please read) show Job's children celebrated days of their days of
birth too.
Scriptures say there are three who are different (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but
one in what various translations at Romans 1:20 calls Godship (New World), godhead, divinity or divine essence, meaning they
and only they three are 100% totally holy. Watchtower falsely tells JWs and others it means the three are one same God person,
like a three-headed God.
The teaching that many now living will never die is the exact opposite Paul's teaching
all sin and therefore all will die (1Co 15:22). The “Good News” of God’s Kingdom is not a coming Paradise
Earth with eternal life, but the Christian hope of resurrection with Christ. Although Ecclesiastes 1:4 says Earth will never
end, Christ and the Bible further say heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven and Earth will come. (Mt 24:35;
Lu 21:33, Re 21:1) It appears then to be in the sense of being recreated that Earth remains forever; although it
is also true for example that our heavenly Father may have created many other mansion-like planets to which humans may
get to go. Revelation 19:1 says there will be a "great crowd" in heaven but JWs mis-teach only a “Little
Flock” go to heaven. Christian hope of going to Christ in heaven is also noted at Jn 14:2, 3; 1Co 15:20, 2Co 5:1, 2;
Ga 1:8, Philippians 3:20, Jas 1:17. Christ says followers must partake of the wine and bread. (Read John
6:53, 54) but Watchtower has pressured JWs so much that 99% don't do so.
To truly follow the Lamb and only the Lamb wherever he leads means to know that Christ
himself, not Watchtower heads, is the MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave of God. Christ tells us "I am the way and the
truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Jn 6:68; 14:6) So when asked “where”
you would go if you left Watchtower, remember Christ said it's not To Where but to Whom you will go. For Christians
the answer is Christ himself.
Christ says you will know the truth and it will set you free. It can help free others
as well. Please make and share copies of this. (John 8:32)

Dear Jehovah's Witnesses: This is brief, truthful and meant in loving-kindness. Some of you will find it very hard
although you sense or know that it is 100% true.
To begin, did you know the Watchtower Society over you has
ALL "JWs in good-standing" including so-called "repentant" pedophiles to preach at homes along with mostly
unsuspecting JW women and children despite Christ warning to protect Little Ones first. (Lu 17:2) Pedophiles are statistically
almost 100% likely to re-offend; sometimes commit other crimes like peeping-Tommery and bedroom wiretapping etc.
Since 1972 a Watchtower directive has let “repentant” pedophiles stay Elders. Yet there are other ways
to witness. Christ and the apostles often preached informally; went from a house in one town to one in another, never door-after-door.
The New World translation (Lu 10:7) says don’t be transferring about. Hands-on kindness beats words; Christ literally
fed with fish and bread not just words.
Feel free to make and mail along copies of this.

COPIES ABOUT JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES DISFELLOWSHIPPING/SHUNNING ETC: JWs used the word “disfellowshipping” for their formal practice of severe shunning, cutting off normal
ties with one’s family. Although older Christians
naturally warn others when someone is a dangerous influence to avoid (1 Corinthians 15:33), JWs go against Christ who
at Luke 6:37 says "Do not judge, and you will not be judged." (Lu 6:37) Similarly James 4:12 says “There
is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?”
James 2:4 tells judgers “Have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” Though Christ
said families would split over doing right or wrong things he never said destroy families by shunning. (Mt 10:34-36)
JWs actually have formal “Judicial Committees” of Elders although 1 Corinthians 6:1 tells Christians to
only judge "trivial" things as in business, James 2:4-13 calls judging harmful. Paul says the "MAJORITY"
(2Co 2:6) followed his saying shun a wrongdoer, meaning a MINORITY chose not to, yet he nowhere condemns that minority. Christ
visited and ate with imperfect people. JWs don’t disfellowship just over evildoing as some claim but also over
weaknesses like smoking; brand “apostates” those dissenting from Watchtower’s misteachings. They claim it’s
loving and produces righteous fruitage though tough, but it has caused and worsened depression, caused suicides.
Christ associated with the imperfect, showed us to rejoice over return of the prodigal son. BAD FRUITAGE: There are good regular JWs but in 1972 the Watchtower Society over JWs sent Elders a directive that
fellow Elders who confess to pedophilia need not be deleted as Elders if several years (later defined as 2-3 years) had passed
and they appeared to still “enjoy Jehovah’s blessing,” that is their “sin” (“crime”)
had not become widely known. So pedophiles and their protectors grow in numbers, %, power, hidden among
JW men, women, kids. Few regular JWs know of the directive. Some head up kingdom halls,
preach at the public’s doors although Department Of Justice statistics show they almost always re-offend.
Christ says protect Little Ones not pedophiles. (Lu 17:2) The internet is full of 100% reputable news of cases
and convictions. Worried insiders tipped off that Watchtower has a database of some 23,000
pedophiles it shelters among JWs in the U.S. (lovenorris.com) For example Phillip and Nancy Garrido who victimized Jaycee
Lee Dugard were long-time JWs. There are also so-called “repentant” peeping Toms, wiretappers,
murderers etc endangering other JWs, their kids, the public. Some mentally unstable Elders have interpreted
the vacillating bedroom laws to mean married JW couples having other than missionary-style sex are to be sifted out for having
"dog sex." (Rev 22:15) Nuts misuse Acts 5:29 saying obey "God rather than men" to justify
internal detective work, witch-hunt. (Contrast Ro 13:1; 1Pe 2:13) BLOOD
TRANSFUSIONS: JWs say it’s right for themselves
and their kids to die rather than take an emergency whole blood transfusion; but God forgave all Saul’s men who ate
unbled meat because it was for them to stay alive. Read 1 Samuel 14:31-35. Christ
at Matthew 7:12 says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice. Some 200,000 may have died from 1945 to now. (David
A. Reed. Blood On The Altar) THE DIVINE NAME: Christ says use “Father.”
(Mt 6:9) Paul says use “Abba” meaning Dad or Pappa. (Ro 8:15, Ga 4:6)
JWs say use Jehovah, a common formal name for God in King James at Psalm 83:18. They say
Romans 10:13 saying “call on the name of the Lord” to be saved means use “Jehovah” though it refers
not to a literal pronunciation of name but to calling on the person of God to save us. FUTURE:
The main JW teaching is that “many now living will never die but live forever on paradise earth,” the exact
opposite of the apostle Paul who says all
sin and therefore all will die (1Co 15:22). The “Good News” of God’s Kingdom is not a
coming Paradise Earth with eternal life, but the Christian hope of resurrection with Christ. JWs stress that Ecclesiastes 1:4 says Earth will never end, but they also ignore
that Christ and the Bible say heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven and Earth will come.
(Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1) In the sense of being recreated, Earth remains forever. Revelation
19:1 says there will be a "great crowd" in heaven but JWs mis-teach only a “Little Flock” go to
heaven. Christian hope of going to Christ in heaven is also noted at Jn 14:2, 3; 1Co 15:20, 2Co
5:1, 2; Ga 1:8, Philippians 3:20, Jas 1:17. TRINITY: Scriptures say there are three who are different (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but one
in what various translations at Romans 1:20 calls Godship, godhead, divinity or divine essence, meaning they and only they
three are 100% totally holy. JWs are falsely taught it means the three are one same God person,
like a three-headed God. BIBLE: Revelation 22:19 says anyone adding to or deleting from
the Bible is accursed and looses eternal life. Though 5,000+ early manuscripts exist in whole or part,
none have the word Jehovah or Yahweh in the New Testament, but JWs’ Watchtower heads added it there in their New
World Bible translation that they claim experts laud though most criticize it. MISPREDICTIONS:
JWs have mispredicted when Armageddon would occur destroying the world as we know it but Christ says beyond God “no
one knows” when that will be! (Mt 24:36) HOLIDAYS. Paul says do not let others judge us as Christians or not over celebrating
holidays (Col 2:16), but JWs are taught to. They say don’t celebrate birthdays though angels and shepherds
at Luke 2 celebrated Christ's, many believe Job 1:3 and then Job 3:1, 3 clearly show Job's children
celebrated days of their birth, and Jude 12 says the earliest Christians enjoyed balanced merriment at "love feasts."
JWs denounce holidays as of pagan origins yet use names of days and months, wedding rings and money, all from pagans.
Holidays form positive memories and affection for stronger families. Mental health experts note much higher
mental depression among JWs. JWs teach Thanksgiving is super-nationalistic but God granted Jews an annual
day of thanks (also a New Year’s day) and many other nations such as Canada, the Philippines and Germany celebrate Thanksgivings.
JWs do not teach Halloween began when Christians costumed kids like faithful Bible figures tortured and martyred for
staying faithful, though some Christians have freedom not to or to substitute other parties since modern Halloween also has
negatives about it. JWs insist only a literally numbered
144,000 anointed people go to heaven, the other 99% of JWs, unscripturally denied Christian communion, meaning not to partake
of the wine and bread. (John 6:53, 54) This is symbolically denying the body of Christ. Though Christmas
may have come from the non-Christian Saturnalia as JWs say, other sources say it may be from Jewish Hannukah which
first began December 25, but the date varies yearly now as based on
the moon. In the winter Christ, himself a rabbi, was at the Feast of Dedication (Jn 10:22), another term for Hannukah,
with its special lights, foods, gifts. JWs say Santa Claus came from a pagan god or wizard but he came from Saint Nicholas,
a famous actual Christian gift-giver. They say the Christmas tree began in pagan tree worship, but research
says it began as the Paradise Tree in Eden in medieval church plays. Though JWs
like to say most encyclopedias and dictionaries say the name Easter is from an ancient non-Christian
pagan goddess Eastre, they ignore the name may also have come from the Old English or Anglo-Saxon word for East or Eastern,
the direction Christianity came from into Europe. Matthew 24:27 indicates Christ may return from the east to resurrect.
JWs say eggs and rabbits used during Easter are from pagan fertility rites but they have always been used to symbolize
new life as in resurrection. JWs claim Christ didn't die on a cross but an upright stake or pole
and the cross is a horrible murder weapon. The word “stauros” can mean cross or stake, but archaeology
and forensics show it definitely was a cross. Paul says boast of the cross because Christ made it
a symbol of resurrection hope. (Ga 6:14, 1Co 1:17-18)
SLEEP OR JUSTICE: JWs teach that all people, therefore even truly evil persons just sleep in peace forever after death.
If so, how would that be justice for victims? Would getting to peacefully sleep be justice from
God regarding violent, wicked people? The body of a dead person is dead, asleep as scripture
says (Ec 9:5), but there is a spirit that remains after a living soul (body with spirit) passes. That spirits
survive is biblical not pagan as JWs mis-teach. (Ps 90:10, 1 Ki 17:21-22) PREACHING
“DOOR TO DOOR.” Christ and apostles
preached at a house in one town then walked to another, didn’t knock door-after-door. (Lu 10:7)
Witnessing by kindness beats words. ONE FAITH: Paul said there’s “one faith”
(Eph 4:5) meaning general Christianity, JWs not even existing till the late 1800s, yet JWs say theirs is the only
true faith, “The Truth.” WHERE TO GO: Christ answers: "I am the way and the truth
and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Jn 6:68; 14:6) So
Christ says the answer is not to “where” one will go after leaving Watchtower but as he said, to Whom one will
go: himself. False friends may speak badly of those who leave for him, but he blesses those who do. (Mt
5:11, Re 18:4), Please use copies.

THIS EXIT-MAKER IS SHORT
AND MAKES A FEW QUICK POINTS
AS SINCERE CHRISTIAN WITNESSES, not Jehovah's Witnesses, we believe
it is loving and right to truthfully expose grevious wrongs. For example, 200,000 Jehovah’s
Witnesses including some children (David A. Reed's Blood On The Altar) have died since 1945 mistold by the Watchtower
Society over them that God doesn't allow emergency blood transfusions even though 1 Samuel 14:31-35 (read it
please) shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate meat with blood to stay alive! Also, since
1972 Watchtower has told JW Elders they don't have to delete as fellow Elders those confessed to child molestation
if 2-3 years have passed without the molestation becoming widely known. This causes the number of pedophiles
abusing JW children to accumulate! Pedophiles are almost 100% likely to harm more kids, sometimes commit other
crimes such as stalking, peeping-tommery; harassing, wiretapping etc to try to intimidate child victims and outspoken
adults! See news reports from CBS, NBC, BBC etc at silentlambs.org.
JWs, as also the case with some other groups,
for example the FLDS, are not themselves able to freely speak out or they get shunned by those blindly obeying their organizational
heads who say theirs is God’s only true organization on earth. JWs thus lose normal association
with family members, and families are destroyed. Christ spoke of families divided over some doing right,
others wrong, not destroyed by religious dictatorships, and James condemned formal judging of other Christians such as by
Watchtower Judicial Committees. 2 Corinthians 2:6 says a "majority" hence not all Christians at Corinth went
along with Paul's recommendation to not associate with a wrongdoer and they weren't shunned for not agreeing even
with Paul. Today, although feeling they have to be quiet about it many who are still JWs definitely do appreciate
our efforts to inform the public and other JWs, are pleased too that this is done out of a spirit of loving-kindness, tough
for some to hear, true, yet helping to save lives, bring more safety and joy. So, by all means, please
do freely make, mail and leave about copies of this informative letter. If you know JWs please mail them
copies.

HERE IN THE LONG BOX FARTHER BELOW IS AN EXIT-MAKER HANDY FOR EXTENSIVE DE-PROGRAMMING:
MANY OF THE Babyboomer generation born 1945-1952 converted to being Jehovah's Witnesses during the 1960 and 1970s
because they studied The Truth That Leads To Eternal Life, nicknamed the little Blue Bomb. The
book or booklet was short and provided plenty of scriptures to "prove" Watchtower doctrines, thus making it highly
effective as a programming tool for those with a Bible interest and respect. So the following is also brief but
full of scriptures that prove, though, that Watchtower's doctrines are shakey, unbalanced, dictatorial, and even
gravely false. Those who were studied into the Watchtower can similarly be reverse-studied (deprogrammed) out
of it even faster.

MAILED
WITH CHRISTIAN LOVE FOR ACTIVE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES TO STUDY & GET COPIES OF TO OTHER JWs INCLUDING ELDERS: 1.
WHAT THE GOOD NEWS IS. Friends, you have heard it said to teach as good news that "many now living will never
die but live forever in paradise on earth" but Paul tells us that all sin and therefore all
will die (1 Cor 15:22), Adam and Eve were falsely told by the serpent or Satan the devil that they would never die but
live forever in paradise, (Genesis 3) and the entire coming of Christ is about the hope of the resurrection,
the true Good News.
2. THE FUTURE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. Although it sometimes noted that Ecclesiastes
1:4 says Earth will never end, Christ and the Bible say heaven and Earth will pass away although
a new Heaven and Earth will come. Read Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33, Revelation 21:1 to see this. So precisely
as Ecclesiastes says, even as generation of humans have come and gone our planet Earth will also vanished but then be recreated;
and in this sense that the Earth definitely remains forever. Also doesn't Revelation 19:1 say a "great
crowd" is in Heaven, not on earth. Read it to see for yourself. You may also read and reflect upon John
14:2, 3; 1 Corinthians 15:20, 2 Corinthians 5:1, 2; Galatians 1:8, Philippians 3:20, James 1:17. Earth returned
to paradise will be gorgeous, but the starry heavens are even more stunning and our Father has "many mansions,"
including many other lovely planets, vast systems of stars and galaxies.
3. OUR DEAD LOVED ONES.
You have it stressed Ecclesiastes 9:5 says "the dead are conscious of nothing at all," and indeed
when you are dead you are dead (with brain non-functioning, unconscious) but balancing are scriptures saying Christians
are resurrected as spirits instantly upon death, in heaven being as angels fully conscious praising God. Bodies die;
but the Bible speaks of human spirits resurrected and continuing. Read 1 Corinthians 15.
4. BLOOD.
Please read 1 Samuel 14:31-35. It shows God forgave Saul's men who ate unbled meat with blood to stay alive. Also
read and discuss with us Matthew 12:7; Christ says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice. Acts 15 says abstain from
blood and although originally referring to meat markets, it is not unreasonable to normally go by today due
to micro-organisms at time in blood, but for emergency life-and-death situations, read and note these other verses.
Blood expanders like saline solution don't act fast enough to stop women with rapid bleeding from giving
birth, people gushing blood after car wrecks etc. Since 1945 an estimated 200,000 JWs have unnecessarily bled to
death, some children and babies. (David A. Reed's Blood On The Altar) 5. THE TRINITY.
Read Titus 2:13 and see for yourselves who it says Jesus is. The Bible speaks of God, Christ, Holy
Spirit as three different persons but one in perfect holiness or what Romans 1:20 calls "divine essence" which some
translations call godship or godhead. The Father is greatest in relative position but all three are equal in
being uniquely holy, sharing together eternity, power and substance (holiness). Watchtower has said the
trinity belief is the three are the exact same person. The truth is that only a very few churches
teach belief the Father morphs into Christ etc, a belief that is not trinitarian but called Oneness or
modalism. Some Christians do call the Three or Trinity by the word Divinity or God but with the understanding
that they are three distinct persons. Again, read Titus 2:13 etc.
6. GOD'S NAME.
Read Matthew 6:9, Mark 14:36, Romans 8:15, and Galatians 4:6. Christ says pray to not a formal guessed at name
of God but to "our Father." Other apostles similarly say use "Abba" which means Papa,
Dad or Daddy. 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. Those preferring to use formal guessed at names like Jehovah
or Yahweh are free to do so, but why not use "Father" more for closeness and because Christ
and Paul tell us to.
7. PREACHING. At Luke 10:1-7 Christ says go from a house in one location to a house
in another location, and that's what he did. Nowhere in the Bible did Christian go to door-after-door selling or
asking donations for Bible literature. They got freely and gave freely. Bible examples show preaching not only
in homes but outdoors for example in the Ethiopian eunuch's vehicle, from a boat etc, where God's Holy Spirit prompted.
Conversions were swift, long studies not needed, the quickly imparted Good News being that Christ came and died to bring us
hope of the resurrection.
8. PROTECTION OF OUR LITTLE ONES. Please read Luke 17:2. Contrast
what Christ says there to Watchtower's ordering Elders to keep sending "repentant" pedophiles,
murderers, etc, to our doors, letting them be around to endanger Little Ones among JWs and the Public. If
someone harms a little boy or girl, turn him into the police. Don't protect such a criminal for the sake of the group's
"image" or tell parents to "wait on Jehovah" saying nothing or else be disfellowshipped; obey the
officials God allows to rule. (Read Romans chapter 13)
9. BIBLE TRANSLATION. Don't you know
God condemns that although no early manuscript has guessed at, formal names like Jehovah in the New Testament, (Read
Revelation 22:18, 19) yet the Watchtower has deliberately put it there.
10. HOLIDAYS. Colossians
2:16 says we're not to let others judge us as Christians over celebrating holidays. Note that
angels and shepherds at Luke 2 celebrated Christ's birthday. Thanksgiving has been celebrated in many lands
even before the USA. God started an annual harvest festival as Levitcus 23:33 and Deuteronomy 16:13 show,
and also started a New Year's celebration for ancient Israel. (Leviticus 23). Job 1:3 and then Job 3:1, 3 believe
it is clear the banquet days Job's children celebrated were birthdays, and Jude 12 says the earliest Christians enjoyed
balanced merriment at "love feasts."
CHRISTMAS: Christmas may have come from the non-Christian Saturnalia
as many encyclopedias suggest, but others point out that it may also have come from the Jewish celebration
of Hannukah. The date of the first Jewish festival of Hannukah was December 25 but the date varies yearly
now because based on the moon. In fact John 10:22 says in the winter Christ, himself a Jewish rabbi, was at the
"Feast of Dedication," another term for Hannukah, which is also called the Festival of Lights because it has Menorah
lights, also special foods, gifts etc remindful of Christmas. Christmas has always been used to honor Christ, not some
ancient sun god such as for the Saturnalia etc. So for Christians it is definitely Christian not pagan.
The names of days and months came from ancient gods' names such as Thursday which is formed from the name of the god
Thor- and the word -day as well as June which is from the god named Juno. For that matter wedding rings and money
came from pagans but are used. Not doing celebrating holidays works against positive memories and the normal ties
of affection among family members. The celebrating of holidays helps build strong Christian families. Mental health
experts have noted a much higher incidence of mental depression among anti-holiday groups including JWs who
are taught and say they are the happiest of people on the earth.
Although Watchtower teaches the Christmas
tree came from the worship of trees the truth is that it began in Medieval church plays as the Tree of Paradise
in the Garden of Eden; also Santa Claus is not from a pagan god or wizard but from the famous Christian gift-giver, Nicholas, later
called Saint Nicholas, who quietly left gifts at night to help the poor. In Dutch his name was "Sinter
'Claus," in English becoming the name "Santa Claus." A bishop at Myra, he wore red
and carried a miter cane, quietly dropped small bags of gold through open windows at night where they fell near the chimney
hearth at homes with poor girls. The next morning the girls went to get clothing they had laid to
dry by the hearth, found the gold, and used it as dowries for marriage instead of being sold as slaves or concubines.
EASTER: Some encyclopedias say the English name for Easter is from an ancient non-Christian pagan goddess
named Eastre, but others say it may be from the Old English word for East or Eastern. Christianity came
to Europe from the East, more precisely the Middle East. Also many Christians believe Christ may return
from the East to resurrect people basing the possibility on Matthew 24:27 etc. Watchtower teaches early
Christians began using Easter eggs and rabbits as vestiges of ancient pagan fertility rites, instead of noting
that eggs are symbols of new life or resurrection, rabbits not only frequently bear new life but appear
first here then there as Christ did being resurrected.
11. PERFECT LEADER. Matthew 24:45 shows Christ speaking of a faithful
and discreet or loyal and wise servant over Christians. Christ himself is God's MOST faithful and discreet
or wise servant ever. Those who deny Christ's being first are denying Christ. Those upset with
any religious or other group can go straight to Christ anytime and always should instead of giving absolute
obedience to misleading, abusive human leaders.
12. PERFECT ORGANIZATION. God's Kingdom organization including
the angels is still safely in heaven although through training from Bible reading and the conscience God gave us
it has beeb guiding as Christians upon the earth for some 2,000 years. When Paul said there's "one
faith" (Ephesians 4:5) there was and still is the one general faith of Christianity. It is not
any one group such as Watchtower or Mormons who popped up in the 1800s, but Christianity in the universal or general
sense. Different branches of the one faith differ some in non-essentials but Colossians 3:14
says that Christian UNITY is based on Love, not on sameness. "Uniformity" is not "unity,"
and it can only exist where there is coersion such as shunning that often results in the destruction of families
and sometimes suicides. If sameness were good, God would not have made different flowers. The allowing of
some variety is evidence of what is good and godly.
13. FREEDOM IN CHRIST. Christ grants
us great Christian freedom as is seen reading all of Romans 14 and John 8:32. Christians are to not be judging
so much but allowing freedom to differ in non-essentials. To see some essentials read Hebrews 16:1. Paul
says at 2 Corinthians 2:6 a "Majority" not all at Corinth had agreed to punish a wrongdoer as Paul had suggested.
Paul could "order" Timothy as a worker in relief ministry, but not even Paul could tell all the Corinthian
Christians or Timothy what to do as if he, Paul, were some manner of religious overseer.
14. STAYING
LOYAL TO CHRIST: So there was and is freedom of conscience for Christians who are to stay faithful to Christ instead of
the misteachings of men. Let us obey Christ, the Most faithful and discreet slave of God, not be donating time
or money to men harming ourselves and others. Instead we need to help our families and obey Christ who says
his yoke is light and gentle, refreshing and joyful. Those leaving Watchtower mentally, as an estimated 30% already
have (related from Brooklyn), or who will do so outright, are urged to not fall into wrongdoing, atheism etc but
to draw closer to our beloved Father in heaven. May Holy Spirit come upon, anoint, comfort and guide you now and
forever, Amen.
15. FINAL NOTE ABOUT ASSOCIATION: Those who will become or already are independent and wish
to associate with some other Christian groups, form independent Bible Study groups etc, certainly have important
decisions to make. Please do make and share copies of this letter, Friends, which comes to you as an
expression of loving concern from your fellow Brothers and Sisters in the Christian faith, part of the "Free"
Witnesses movement.

THIS ONE ALSO TELLS ABOUT
OUR FELLOWSHIP:
GOOD
NEWS PLUS TWO GRAVE CONCERNS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC: No, we’re not Jehovah’s Witnesses
(JWs) who are headed by the Watchtower Society, who distribute magazines etc, asking donations at doors. Led
overall only by Christ, the most faithful and discreet or wise of all who ever served God (Mt24:45, Mt23:10), our own until
now mostly internet-based fellowship is Christian Witnesses. Thousands associate already. Our
fellowship promotes joy regardless of different beliefs (Ga 5:22), although our own beliefs are freedom to differ united by
love (Ro 14:1-5; Co 3:14); resurrection to heaven or earth; the inviting of friendly people to home Bible readings (Mt 28:19,
Ro 16:1), praying, sharing meals, helping the needy (Ga 2:10); a group of two or more can appoint reputable elders (older
ones) to do desired services (1Tim 3; Ac 6:5), groups may voluntarily work together etc. We rejoice that although
Paul points out that no human alive today will live forever as all sin (read 1Cor15:22), thanks to Christ there is the resurrection
hope. We also note that Christ said God alone knows the day or hour of the end (Mt24:36) when the heavens
and Earth will pass away; but happily a new heavens and Earth will come (Mt24:35;
Lu21:33, Re21:1) so that
our Earth will remain forever as Ecclesiastes 1:4 says. Christianwitnesses.com emails free newsletters to those signed in.
Although not JWs we are highly
concerned about their Silentlambs and BleedingLambs crises involving the safety of JWs and sometimes the public.
One estimate is that 200,000 JWs (David A. Reed's Blood On The Altar) have died since 1945 mistold
by Watchtower that God doesn't allow emergency blood transfusions even though 1 Samuel 14:31-35 (read it please)
shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate meat with blood to stay alive! If that bothers you too, mail JWs a copy of
what you are reading to inform them more correctly (Watchtower sure doesn’t); also, send donations made out to
the trust fund called Watchtower Lawsuit to: Lawrence Hughes; P.O.B 20161; Calgary Place, RPO; Calgary, Alberta, Canada,
T2P 4J3. Your donations will help him
pay debts incurred through court actions against Watchtower since his daughter Bethany’s death and enable him to keep
assisting others who have also lost and stand to lose loved ones.
Most JWs don’t know that since 1972
Watchtower has told JW Elders they don't have to delete as fellow Elders those confessed to child molestation if
2-3 years have passed without the molestation becoming widely known. This causes the number of pedophiles
to accumulate! Watchtower shelters all pedophiles it deems "repentant sinners," keeping their “sins”
(most people would say crimes) secret from unsuspecting JW women and kids, as they go with Bibles to the public's
doors where even more kids and unsuspecting parents are. Pedophiles are almost 100% likely to harm more kids, sometimes
commit other crimes such as stalking, peeping-tommery; harassing, wiretapping etc to try to intimidate child victims
and outspoken adults!
There have been some decent JW Elders such as Bill Bowen, founder of the non-profit
Silentlambs, now shunned by JWs. Read what Christ says at Luke 17:2 of "Little Ones," and the kids’
safety coming first. See news reports from CBS, NBC, BBC etc at silentlambs.org. Donations can be
by Paypal or sending a check to Silentlambs, PO Box 311, Calvert City, KY 42029. JWs themselves aren’t
free to speak out or they get shunned by those blindly obeying Watchtower which says it is God’s only true organization
on earth. They stand to lose all normal association with JW family members, their families be destroyed.
Though quiet many definitely do appreciate our efforts, pleased too that this is done out of a spirit of loving-kindness,
tough for some to hear, true, yet helping to save lives, bring more safety and joy.
So, by all means, please do freely make, mail
and leave about copies of this informative letter. If given a copy at your door, JWs, who usually come
in two’s, are told by Watchtower to not read it, but when in their own homes most will gladly read a copy that is mailed
to them. May all readers of good-will enjoy the many blessings of our Father in heaven. Sincerely
And From christianwitnesses.com.

EXIT-MAKER NOT MENTIONING JWs BUT INFORMING ABOUT JW BELIEFS:
Again, remember that you have freedom to modify the Exitmaker items; for example, some might prefer to drop off the
"christianwitnesses.com" at the end, feeling that it too much "promotes" this particular fellowshipping
arrangement. On the other hand, others like to keep it, glad that it draws attention to the fellowship rather than the
guesses of JW family or friends that they originated it. Do as you feel best for your own situation, brothers, sister,
friends. You no longer need feel that your hands are tied or that you are helpless! You have the shield of Love
and the sword of Truth.
You are equally welcome to darken the font letters, increase their size, etc.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW THE REAL TRUTH? These correct some common misteachings. Freely and lovingly distribute
copies.
1. THE GOOD NEWS. You may have had some come tell you at your doors their Good
News that "many now living will never die but live forever in paradise on earth." Look up 1 Corinthians
15:22 where Paul tells Christians there that all sin and therefore all will die. The Bible shows not
only Paul, but Christ and others said the Gospel or Good News is the resurrection hope, not living forever on earth. 1
Corinthians 15:42 says “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is
raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it
is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.” Genesis 3 says Adam and Eve were told they
would never die but could live forever in paradise (Eden in their case) and this false information came not from God but the
serpent. People were resurrected on earth and possibly some might be latter, but the Bible directs Christians
to strive for and focus on the glories of the starry heavens in fellowship with Christ. 2. THE FUTURE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. Some note that Ecclesiastes 1:4 says Earth will never end, but not
that it is also true that Christ and the Bible say heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven
and Earth will come. (Read Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33, Revelation 21:1) So precisely as Ecclesiastes says, even
as generations of humans have come and gone, our planet Earth will also vanish but then be re-created; and in this sense
remains forever. Read to see that Revelation 19:1 shows a “great crowd” (not a little flock) of resurrected
humans are in heaven, not on Earth. For even more understanding read John 14:2, 3; 1 Corinthians 15:20,
2 Corinthians 5:1, 2; Galatians 1:8, Philippians 3:20, James 1:17. Earth returned to paradise will be gorgeous
but remember that the starry heavens are even more stunning and our Father has “many mansions,” including many
other lovely planets, vast systems of stars and galaxies.
3. BLOOD. Read 1 Samuel 14:31-35 which shows God forgave men who ate unbled meat with blood to stay alive. Emergency
transfusions of blood are scriptural. At Matthew 7:12, Christ says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice.
God does not want anyone to bleed to death. Acts 15 says abstain from blood and although originally
referring to meat markets, it is not unreasonable to normally go by today due to micro-organisms at
time in blood, but for emergency life-and-death situations, read and note these other verses. Blood expanders
like saline solution don't act fast enough to stop women with rapid bleeding after giving birth, people gushing
blood after bad accidents etc.
4. OUR DEAD LOVED ONES. Some stress that Ecclesiastes 9:5 says
“the dead are conscious of nothing at all,” and indeed when you are dead you are dead with the brain non-functioning
or unconscious, but balancing that are other scriptures saying Christians are resurrected as spirits instantly upon death
as when 1 Corinthians 15:51 says “Listen, I tell you a mystery:
We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For
the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.” Revelation 19 tells of people
in heaven as angels conscious and praising God. 5. GOD'S NAME.
Read Matthew 6:9, Mark 14:36, Romans 8:15, and Galatians 4:6. Christ says pray to not a formal guessed at name
of God but to our Father. Other apostles similarly say use "Abba" or Dad/Daddy. 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.
6. GOD'S NATURE. Read Titus 2:13 as to who Jesus is. The Bible speaks of God, Christ,
and the Holy Spirit. They are three different persons one in perfect holiness or what Romans 2:10 calls "divine
essence," or in some Bibles “godship” or “godhead.” The Father is greatest in relative position
but all three are equal in being uniquely holy, sharing together eternity, power and substance (holiness).
Some mis-tell that the trinity belief is that the three are the exact same person. The truth is
that only a very few churches teach belief the Father morphs into Christ etc, an idea that is not trinitarian
but called Oneness or modalism. Some misteach God is a person of flesh, but John 4:24 says God is Spirit
not flesh. 7. PREACHING. Luke 10:1-7. Christ says go from a house in one location to a house in another
location, not door-after-door. Note verse 7 closely.
8. PROTECTING LITTLE ONES. Luke 17:2. Contrast
what Christ says to any group that for example sends so-called "repentant" pedophiles along with unsuspecting
innocent colleagues to preach at our doors endangering all our little ones. If someone harms a Little One,
turn him into the police, not any religious groups’ clergy elder heads who for the sake of the group’s "image"
quite possibly will tell you not to do so. (Ro 13:1) Though polygamy is illegal some groups say after death their men
followers’ spirits get to have multiple wives, other groups hold secret “spiritual” weddings to live polygamously
now. God made Adam only one wife. Paul told Christian men to have one wife not wives. (1Co 7:2)
9. BIBLE TRANSLATION. Read Revelation 22:18, 19 which shows God condemns, for example, when a group adds a guessed at,
formal name of God in hundreds of places where no early manuscript has it in the New Testament. 10.
HOLIDAYS. Colossians 2:16. It says we're not to let others judge us as Christians over
celebrating holidays. Note that angels and shepherds at Luke 2 celebrated Christ's birthday. Thanksgiving
has been celebrated in many lands even before the USA. God started an annual harvest festival as Leviticus
23:33 and Deuteronomy 16:13 show, and also started a New Year's celebration for Israel. (Leviticus 23).
11. PERFECT LEADER. Matthew 24:45 shows Christ speaking of a faithful and discreet or loyal and wise servant over Christians.
Christ himself is God's MOST faithful and discreet or wise servant ever. We can go straight to Christ at anytime
instead of a misleading or abusive group of human leaders. 12. PERFECT ORGANIZATION. God's Kingdom
organization including angels is still safely in heaven although by Bible-training and conscience it’s been ruling
in the midst of Christians for some 2,000 years. Paul said there's "one faith" (Eph 4:5) and when he said
so there was and still is the one faith. It’s not some group that began in 1800s or 1900s but
Christianity in the universal or general sense. Different branches of it differ some in non-essential beliefs
but Colossians 3:14 says that there is perfect UNITY from LOVE. Absolute robotic sameness in all same beliefs is
not unity but unChristian Uniformity. 13. FREEDOM IN CHRIST. Christ grants us great Christian freedom.
Read all Romans 14 and John 8:32. Instead of being judgmental we allow freedom to differ beyonds basics
like at Hebrews 16:1.
14. DISFELLOWSHIPPING. Christians
naturally warn others including their children when someone is a bad influence (1 Cor 15:33) but scriptures also
say it’s wrong to formally or unduly judge others. (Jas 2:4-13, 4:12; Mt &:1-5; Lu 6:37) Christ said
families would be split by some doing right or wrong things, but never called for destroying families by severe, lasting shunning.
(Mt 10:34-36) Christians while on Earth can judge "trivial" things as in business, not formally judge each
other or destroy families. (1Cor 6:1) Paul says the "MAJORITY" at Corinth followed his advice to shun
a wrongdoer, meaning that a MINORITY chose not to, and yet he nowhere condemns them. (Read 2 Corinthians 2:6) 15. SHARING
LOVINGLY: Freely leave about or mail copies of this as truth sets people free. (John 8:32) christianwitnesses.com

GOOD NEWS AND ALSO TWO GRAVE CONCERNS TO INFORM
THE PUBLIC
Led overall only by Christ, the most faithful and discreet or wise
of all who ever served God (Mt24:45, Mt23:10), our own until now mostly internet-based fellowship is Christian Witnesses.
Thousands associate already. Our fellowship promotes joy regardless of different beliefs (Ga 5:22),
although our own beliefs are freedom to differ united by love (Ro 14:1-5; Co 3:14); resurrection to heaven or earth; the inviting
of friendly people to home Bible readings (Mt 28:19, Ro 16:1), praying, sharing meals, helping the needy (Ga 2:10); a group
of two or more can appoint reputable elders (older ones) to do desired services (1Tim 3; Ac 6:5), groups may voluntarily work
together etc. We rejoice that although Paul points out that no human alive today will live forever as all sin (read
1Cor15:22), thanks to Christ there is the resurrection hope. We also note that Christ said God alone knows
the day or hour of the end (Mt24:36) when the heavens and Earth will pass away; but happily a new heavens and Earth will come
(Mt24:35; Lu21:33, Re21:1) so that our Earth will remain forever as Ecclesiastes 1:4 says.
We also believe in exposing wrongs.
For example, 200,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses including some children (David A. Reed's Blood On The Altar)
have died since 1945 mistold by Watchtower that God doesn't allow emergency blood transfusions even though 1 Samuel
14:31-35 (read it please) shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate meat with blood to stay alive! Please
send donations made out to the trust fund called Watchtower Lawsuit to: Lawrence Hughes; P.O.B 20161; Calgary Place,
RPO; Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 4J3. Those will help him keep assisting others who have also lost and stand to lose loved ones. Also, since 1972
Watchtower has told JW Elders they don't have to delete as fellow Elders those confessed to child molestation if
2-3 years have passed without the molestation becoming widely known. This causes the number of pedophiles
to accumulate! Pedophiles are almost 100% likely to harm more kids, sometimes commit other crimes such as stalking,
peeping-tommery; harassing, wiretapping etc to try to intimidate child victims and outspoken adults! See news reports
from CBS, NBC, BBC etc at silentlambs.org. Send a check to Silentlambs, PO Box 311, Calvert City, KY 42029
which helps victims and exposes this.
JWs, as also the case with some other groups, for example the Fundamentalist
LDS, are not themselves able to freely speak out or they get shunned by those blindly obeying their organizational heads who
say theirs is God’s only true organization on earth. Members of such groups stand to lose all normal
association with family members, their families be destroyed. Though quiet many definitely do appreciate
our efforts, pleased too that this is done out of a spirit of loving-kindness, tough for some to hear, true, yet helping to
save lives, bring more safety and joy. So, by all means, please do freely make, mail and leave about copies

A THIRD VERSION
COUNTERING MANY WATCHTOWER AND SOME OF THE MORMON BELIEFS:
This explains politely why nice-seeming and well-dressed people preaching at our
doors, such as Jehovah’s Witnesses and various Mormon groups do not, as they assert, have The Truth. For
example 1 Samuel
14:31-35 shows God forgave men who ate unbled meat with blood to stay alive. Emergency transfusions of blood are scriptural.
At Matthew 7:12 Christ says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice but yearly thousands of JWs and sometimes JW kids bleed to death. Acts
15 says abstain from blood and although originally referring to meat markets, it is not unreasonable to normally go
by today but for emergency life-and-death situations, other verses about mercy and being
reasonable weigh even more. Blood expanders like saline solution don't act fast enough to save women
from rapid bleeding after giving birth, those gushing blood after bad accidents etc. Isaiah 25:6 says
God will give a banquet including marrow which is the blood part of bone. JWs say "many now living
will never die but live forever in paradise on earth" but at 1 Corinthians 15:22 Paul says all sin so
all will die. The Bible shows not only Paul, but Christ and others said the Gospel or Good News is the resurrection
hope, not living forever on earth. 1 Corinthians 15:42 says at the resurrection the body that was sown
will be “raised a spiritual body.” Genesis 3 says Adam and Eve were told they would never
die but could live forever in the paradise of Eden, harmful false information from the serpent. People were resurrected
on earth in the Bible but if some might be latter, still the Bible directs Christians to strive for and focus on serving
amid the glorious starry heavens in fellowship with Christ. JWs also preach Ecclesiastes 1:4 says Earth will
never end but don’t note it is also true the Bible says heaven and Earth will pass away although a new
heaven and Earth will come. (Read Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1) So precisely as Ecclesiastes says, even as generations
of humans have come and gone, our planet Earth will also vanish but then be re-created; and in this sense remains forever.
A “great crowd,” not a little flock, of resurrected humans are in heaven, not on Earth. (Read Re 19:1;
also see Jn 14:2, 3; 1 Co 15:20, 2 Co 5:1, 2; Ga 1:8, Phillipians 3:20, Jas 1:17. JWs stress Ecclesiastes 9:5 says “the dead are conscious
of nothing at all,” and indeed when you are dead you are dead with the brain non-functioning or unconscious, but balancing
that are other scriptures saying at least some Christians are resurrected as spirits instantly upon death as when 1 Corinthians
15:51 says “…..For
the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.” Revelation 19 tells of people
in heaven as angels,
conscious and praising God. JWs need to not just read but meditate on the fact
Christ and Paul say pray to not a formal guessed at name of God but to our Father or "Abba" meaning Dad
or Daddy. (Mt 6:9, Mk 14:36, Ro 8:15, Ga 4:6) 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. Read Revelation 22:18, 19 which shows
God condemns, for example, when a group adds a guessed, formal name of God in hundreds of places where no early
manuscript has it in the New Testament. JWs Bible translation does this. Definitely read Titus 2:13
as to who Jesus is. The Bible speaks of God, Christ, and Holy Spirit. They are three different
persons one in perfect holiness, what various translations (Ro 2:10) cals "divine essence," “godship”
or “godhead.” The Father is greatest in relative position but all three are equal in being uniquely
holy, sharing together eternity, power and substance (holiness). JWs mistell that the trinity belief
is that the three are the exact same person but few churches teach belief the Father morphs into Christ
etc, an idea that is not Trinitarian but called Oneness or Modalism. Mormons teach God is a person of flesh,
but John 4:24 says God is Spirit not flesh. LDS Mormons and JWs preach at house after house but Christ says go from
a house in one location to a house in another location. (Lu 10:1-7) Contrast
what Christ says to any group, not just JWs or Mormons about the endangering of our little ones. (Lu 17:2)
No Elder who has ever harmed a child, no matter how so-called "repentant" he seems, should be
allowed to along with unsuspecting innocent colleagues to preach at our doors, much less allowed to get near them.
Judges, Justices, Legislators etc allow freedom to preach at doors, but Laws denying pedophiles access to kids need
to be ruled first! If someone harms a Little One, turn him into the police, not any religious groups’
clergy elder heads who for the sake of the group’s "image" quite possibly will tell you not to do so.
(Ro 13:1) Though polygamy is illegal LDS Mormons say after death men followers’ spirits get to have multiple wives,
other Mormons have held secret “spiritual” weddings with multiple women. Genesis proves God made Adam only
one wife. Israel’s kings were told to have only one wife though Solomon broke the law. Paul
said have one wife not wives. (1Co 7:2)
Colossians
2:16 says we're not to let others judge us as Christians over celebrating holidays, though JWs do so wrongly
all the time. Note that angels and shepherds at Luke 2 celebrated Christ's birthday. Thanksgiving has
been celebrated in many lands even before in the USA. God started an annual harvest festival and also
started a New Year's celebration for Israel. (Lev 23; Deu 16:13) Matthew 24:45 shows Christ speaking
of a faithful and discreet or loyal and wise servant over Christians. Christ himself is God's MOST faithful
and discreet or wise servant ever, not the men over JWs. We can go straight to Christ at anytime instead of to
a misleading or abusive group of human leaders. God's Kingdom organization including angels is still safely in heaven
although by Bible-training and conscience it’s been ruling in the midst of Christians for some 2,000 years.
Paul said there's "one faith" (Eph 4:5) and when he said so there was and still is the one faith.
It’s not some group like Mormons or JWs who began in 1800s or any group begun in the 1900s but Christianity in the universal
or general sense. The many branches of Christianity differ some in non-essential beliefs but Colossians
3:14 says that there is perfect UNITY from LOVE. Absolute robotic sameness in all same beliefs as done with JWs and
Mormons is not Unity but unChristian Uniformity enforced by duress of severe shunning. Christ says Christians are
to enjoy great Christian freedom, not burdened but made happy. Read all Romans 14 and John 8:32. Instead
of being judgmental we are to allow freedom to differ beyond basics like those listed at Hebrews 16:1.
Christians naturally warn others including their children
when someone is a bad influence (1 Cor 15:33) but scriptures also say it’s wrong to formally or unduly
judge others. (Jas 2:4-13, 4:12; Mt &:1-5; Lu 6:37) Christ said families would be split by some doing right or wrong
things, but never called for destroying families by severe, lasting shunning. (Mt 10:34-36) Christians while on
Earth can judge "trivial" things as in business but must not formally judge each other as with JW Judicial Committees
or destroy families. (1Cor 6:1) JWs are mistold it’s “loving” to shun family members who disagree
with JW teachings, told to hate them as wicked. Many Mormon groups etc also cold-shoulder and call those who disagree by names
such as apostates or sons of perdition. Paul says the "MAJORITY" at Corinth followed his advice
to shun a wrongdoer, meaning that a MINORITY chose not to, and yet he nowhere condemns the minority who did not go along with
his suggestion. Read 2 Corinthians 2:6. Thanks for reading this.

PHOTOCOPY AND USE: Why Do Friendly-Seeming Jehovah’s Witnesses Say Wrong Things?
Because Mistaught To By The Watchtower Society Men Over Them. Per Watchtower Society heads, JWs say die rather than take an emergency whole blood
transfusion; but ignore scriptures showing God forgave all Saul’s men who ate unbled meat in order to stay alive.
(1Samuel 14:31-35). JWs say “many now living will never die but live forever on paradise earth,” but the Bible says all
sin so all will die (1Co 15:22), the real Good News being the Christian hope of resurrection with Christ in heaven.
JWs have formal Judicial Committees
that “disfellowship” (order severe shunning of) not just evil men but those peacefully dissenting. Paul says the
"MAJORITY" (2Co 2:6) followed his saying shun a wrongdoer, meaning a MINORITY chose not to, yet he nowhere condemns
that minority. James says leave judging to God for human judges about religious matter act unfairly and
evilly. (Jas 2:4-13; 14:12) JWs say call God Jehovah, that Romans 10:13 says call on God’s name to be saved
(Ro 10:13) but Christ (Ro 10:13) says call God “Father,” (Mt 6:9) Paul says use “Abba”
meaning Dad or Pappa, (Ro 8:15, Ga 4:6), and calling on God to save isn’t pronouncing some name but calling on the person
of God to save us. JWs say Earth will never end (Ec 1:4), but the Bible says heaven and Earth will pass away although a
new heaven and Earth will come. (Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1) In the sense of being recreated, Earth remains forever.
JWs say only a Little Flock of just 144,000
go to heaven but Revelation 19:1 says a "great crowd" is in heaven. JWs say non-JW Christians believe the trinity is Father, Son, Holy Spirit are one same God, a three-headed God,
but Christians say the three are different but one in what various translations at Romans 1:20 calls Godship, godhead, divinity
or divine essence, so only the three are 100% totally holy. JWs say holidays are wrong and pagan. Paul says don’t let others
judge us as Christians over holidays. (Col 2:16) Angels and shepherds celebrated Christ's, many believe Job
1:3 and then Job 3:1, 3 show Job's children celebrated days of their birth. JWs do use names of days and months, wedding rings and money, all from pagans. JWs say Thanksgiving is
a U.S. nationalistic day but other nations such as Canada, the Philippines and Germany celebrate Thanksgivings.
JWs denounce everyone who celebrates Halloween as satanistic ignoring early Christians costumed
kids like faithful Bible figures tortured and martyred for staying faithful in order to encourage similar loyalty to God. JWs say Christmas is pagan though it may
also be from the Jewish Hannukah which first originally was December 25, celebrated as the Feast of Dedication by Christ (Jn
10:22), includes special lights, foods, gifts. JWs say Santa Claus came from a pagan god or wizard but he came from Saint Nicholas, a famous actual Christian gift-giver.
JWs say the Christmas tree began as pagan
tree worship, but it began as the Paradise Tree in Eden in early church plays. JWs say the name Easter
is from the pagan goddess Eastre, but it may also be from the Old English for East or Eastern the direction from which
Christianity came into Europe. JWs
say Easter eggs and rabbits are from pagan fertility rites but Christians have always used those to symbolize new life in
resurrection. JWs
say Christ didn't die on a cross but a stake or pole and the cross is a horrible murder weapon, but the word “stauros”
means not just pole but also cross; archaeology and forensics show it was a cross. Paul says boast of the
cross as Christ made it a positive symbol of resurrection hope. (Ga 6:14, 1Co 1:17-18)
JWs teach
all people, therefore even truly evil persons just sleep in peace after death but if so, how would that be justice for
victims? The body of a dead person is dead, asleep as scripture says (Ec 9:5), but scriptures say there is
a spirit living after a living soul (body with spirit) passes. This is biblical not pagan as JWs mis-teach.
(Ps 90:10, 1 Ki 17:21-22) JWs say the true faith knocks door-after-door
but Christ and apostles preached at a house in one town then walked to another. (Lu 10:7) Witnessing
by kindness beats words. JWs say Paul said there’s “one faith”
(Eph 4:5) and that’s their beliefs but JWs Watchtower organization didn’t even existing till the late 1800s while
general Christianity has existed over 2,000 years. JWs say people can only go to the Watchtower Society
for true Christianity but Christ answers: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through me.” (Jn 6:68; 14:6) True Christianity is found in Christ rather than Watchtower.
Christ himself, not Watchtower, is the MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave of God. JWs say their organization is a spiritual paradise. Unknown to most
regular JWs, in 1972 Watchtower sent Elders a directive saying fellow Elders who confess to pedophilia need not be deleted
as Elders if several years (later defined as 2-3 years) passed and they still seemed to “enjoy Jehovah’s
blessing,” that is their “sin” (“crime”) had not become widely known. So
pedophiles and their protectors grow in numbers, %, power, hidden among JW men, women, kids. Please mail copies of this to others and also put them
in the hands of visiting JWs. Keep some copies for yourself too.

SOME FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
FOR YOU
If you are a reader who may be fading out of the Watchtower Society but
still in it, you are in a unique position to help others. For example you likely have or can quickly get the addresses
of many other JWs to mail to.
A consideration for some is if to mail, say, a hundred letters at once or just a
few here and there. Experience shows that it's generally usually best to mail a hundred suddenly, although do what
you feel is best for your own situation. Some do a mass mailing then wait until the Watchtower-appointed Elders
try to counter by telling their "sheep" to not read anything coming from the "evil apostate/s," (usually
at a Wednesday or Thursday night meeting) then after a while send some more, re-seeding time to time.
You are to
be congratulated for your loving concern and action to help inform others. Christ certainly did so, too.
