1. Might the Watchtower Society over Jehovah’s Witnesses be in hidden receivership to the U.S. government?  It 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? It keeps selling buildings also in Brooklyn, sends Bethelites home, has weird changes re the 1914 Generation, has European branch corporations keep working with the U.N.; but to please hardliners flip-flops on education, marital sex etc. Tax-dodging shows its Governing Body are not God’s MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave. They are embarrassed and embarrassing. Ignore any Waco or Jonestown style orders from them. 2. Watchtower includes good people, but reading these other scriptures shows Watchtower has mistaught and dangerously tricked JWs.  To begin Watchtower 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 Watchtower says as vestiges of pagan sex worship!  Watchtower says a Little Flock of literally 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 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. Watchtower 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. Watchtower 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!   Watchtower 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.  Watchtower 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) Watchtower’s pedophile policies bring allegations of stalking, wiretapping, suspicious murders such as in Oregon.   7. Watchtower 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.  For more see christianwitnesses.com now.

ARE YOU OR A FRIEND STUDYING WITH JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES? (JWs)  ARE YOU YOURSELF A JW OR EX-JW?  GOT JW RELATIVES?  The Watchtower Society (WT) over JWs includes some very good people, but reading these other scriptures shows they are mistaught.  For example 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.   Also, JWs are told to teach that 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 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 WT says, as vestiges of pagan 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.  (Please read it.)  Barely any JWs partake of wine and bread emblems but yet Christ says all Christians must. (Read John 6:54)  2. Watchtower heads order JW family and friends to shun exJWs, often done harshly, but scriptures condemn such unmerciful, all too often unfair judging. (Jas 2:4, 13; 3:12) True, 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 about work but Christians keep freedom to differ. It’s good for those who are shunned to not shun back those who severely shun so that they will grow embarrassed and can change. Love never fails. (1Co13:8) 3. JWs are told to always abstain from blood transfusions but Christ says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice (Read 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 and shows photos of JW kids who died refusing transfusions. See a copy at 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) does not mean pronouncing a guessed at formal name but calling on God as a powerful, caring Father. 4. 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. (Read 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)  WT has told them  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. 5. JW 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) 6. JWs oppose celebrating holidays but Paul says don't let others judge us as Christians or not regarding holidays. (Col 2:16)  JWs oppose 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, but the Father is greatest. (Jn 14:28) 7. Please lovingly give copies of this to those studying with JWs, JWs who come to doors, etc.  It has already helped many quit the WT, draw closer to Christ.  When Elders ask exiting JWs or JW Bible studies “where will you go?” they can say “To Christ, the same as you need to.”  Note that many safer groups exist for fellowship.  Christian Unity comes from showing active loving freedom to differ, (Read Col 3:14, 1Co 13:8, 13) not from forcing all to robotically believe the same things or be shunned, which is what WT's disfellowshipping policy does.  Again, please share or leave about copies.

ESTÁ USTED OR UN AMIGO ESTUDIANDO CON TESTIGOS DE JEHOVA? (TJ'S)  ES USTED MISMO UN TJ?  TIENE USTED FAMILIA OR AMIGOS TJ?  La Sociedad Watchtower que encabeza los Testigos de Jehová incluye muchas personas simpáticas pero estas escrituras muestran que Watchtower no los enseñan a ellos lo que es correcto.  Al empezar, Watchtower enseñan a los Testigos que las Buenas Nuevas es “muchos que ahora viven no morirán jamás y vivirán en un paraíso terrestre para siempre,” pero Pablo dice que todos pecamos y por eso todos moriremos. (1 Cor. 15:22) Las Buenas Nuevas es la esperanza de resurrección que tenemos a causa del sacrificio del rescate de Cristo.  Watchtower enseña a los Testigos que la cruz es una horrible arma que necesitamos evitar pero Pablo dice que debemos JACTARNOS de la cruz porque en el caso de Cristo simboliza la victoria de la resurrección sobre la muerte. (Gal. 6:14, 1 Cor. 1:17-18)  Los Cristianos emperezaron a usar conejos y huevos como símbolos de la resurrección durante la pascua no como vestigios de adoración al sexo!  Los Testigos enseñan que un rebaño pequeño literalmente numerados 144,000 van al cielo pero Apocalipsis 19:1 dice que una “gran muchedumbre” estará en el cielo. Casi ningunos de los Testigos toman de las emblemas, el pan y vino, pero Cristo dice que todos Cristianos lo necesitan hacer. 2. Watchtower ordena que las amistades y familias Testigos de Jehová eviten los ex-miembros de la religión. Las escrituras condena el juzgar de manera cruel o injusto. (Sant. 2:4,13; 3:12) Pablo dice que la “mayoría” evitaron un malhechor como habia sugerído pero la palabra “mayoría” dio a entender que una minoría no lo evitaron, mostrando que cada cristiano tiene la libertad de decidir con quien asociar o no. (2 Cor. 2:6)  Pablo pudo “ordenar” a Timoteo en asuntos de trabajar pero en asuntos Cristianos tenemos la libertad de tener diferencias en opinión.  Traten de no evitar a los que les evitan, para que puedan avergonzarse y tal vez cambiar. Tenga paciencia, sean feliz, el amor nunca falla. (1 Col. 13:8) 3. Watchtower enseñan a Testigos a siempre abstener de las transfusiones de sangre, pero Cristo dice que Dios quiere Misericordia no Sacrificio. (Mat. 12:7) 1 Samuel 14 muestra que Dios perdonó a los hombres de Saúl que comieron carne sin desangrar para mantenerse vivos. Su revista Despertad! del 22 de mayo se jacta y enseña fotos de jóvenes Testigos que murieron porque rehusaron transfusiones de sangre. Vean www.ajwrb.org. Los Testigos enseñan a que llamen a Dios Jehová, pero Cristo y Pablo enseñan a llamar a Dios “nuestro Padre,” no Jehová. (Mat. 6:9; Mar. 14:36; Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:6) Llamando al nombre de Dios para salvación no quiere decir que uno pronuncie un nombre que básicamente es una conjetura sino quiere decir que uno llame a Dios como un poderoso, amoroso Padre. 4. Los Testigos enseñan que la Tierra permanecerá para siempre, nunca terminará, pero ignoran los versos diciendo que una nueva tierra  vendrá. (Ecc.1:4; Mat. 24:35; Luc. 21:33; Rev. 21:1) La Biblia enseña que la Tierra pasara y será recreado, diferente de lo que enseñan los Testigos.  Los Testigos enseñan que los muertos “no tienen conciencia de nada en absoluto,” (Ecc. 9:5) dicen que los muertos serán resucitados al cielo o la tierra, y que los injustos dormirán para siempre en la muerte.  Pero Dios es justo, y contrario de lo que enseñan los Testigos, los inicuos sufrirán, no solo dormirán... Los Testigos enseñan que el alma no sobrevive la muerte, ignorando que aunque los cuerpos no están conscientes de nada, las escrituras hablan de espíritus humanos que son como ángeles en el cielo. Almas son espíritus que son o estaban combinados con el cuerpo. Los Testigos están equivocados al decir que el alma no sobrevive, eso no lo que enseña la Biblia. 5. Los Ancianos mandan a todos los Testigos que consideran a ser de "buena reputación" a predicar de casa en casa incluyendo personas que son pedófilos “arrepentidos.” Es estimado que en la mayoría de las congregaciones de los Testigos de Jehová hay en cada uno de ellos por lo menos un pedófilo protegido por los ancianos. Pero Cristo dice a proteger a nuestros pequeños no a los que son abusadores de ellos. (Luc. 17:2) Hay víctimas que han recibido millone$ en llegar a un acuerdo en la corte al demandar al Sociedad Watchtower. Vean www.silentlambs.org o www.lovenorris.com) 6. Los Testigos opuestan la celebracíón de los días festivos pero Pablo dice que no dejen que otros nos juzguen como Cristianos o no de cuanto la celebracíón de los días festivos. (Col. 2:16) Los Testigos opuestan la celebracíón de cumpleaños y navidad, mas sin embargo los hijos de Job celebraron cumpleaños (Lean Job 1:3 entonces Job 3:1,3); y los ángeles, sabios, y los pastores celebraron el nacimiento de Cristo. Dios dio a los Israelitas una fiesta para celebrar cosechas; y muchas naciones, además de los Estados Unidos, como Alemania e Canadá celebran Día de Gracias. (Lev 23:33; Deu 16:13) Levíticos 23 enseña que Dios aprobó la celebración de año nuevo para Israel. Los Testigos hacen la declaración que la mayoría de las Iglesias enseñan que el Padre, el Hijo, y el Espíritu Santo son el mismo Dios o persona, pero de hecho la mayoría enseñan que los tres son diferentes personas aunque son uno en tener la misma divina naturaleza, queriendo decir santidad absoluta.  Siendo igual al respecto de santidad, se llaman diedad o Dios precisamente como Tito 2:3 dice, pero el Padre es el más grande. (Juan 14:28) 7. Lectores interesados pueden dar copias de esto a Testigos cuando tocan su puerta o por correo.  Puede ayudarles a dejar la Sociedad Watchtower y seguir mejor a Cristo. Cuando los Ancianos de los TJs pregunten a los que salen “adonde irán?” pueden decir “A Cristo, como ustedes deben hacer también.” Muchos grupos mas seguros existen para compañerismo espiritual.  Los que forman iglesias en sus hogares necesitan tener en mente que la unidad solo existe cuando hay amor activo, libertad de diferir.
