I think the point of this article is even if none of these people were baptized, they STILL lived the life of a JW until they were at an age where they could legally make their own decisions. So all the people that have something bad to say? Understand YOUR CHURCH is supposed to be in full agreement with those SAME MORAL CODES because they are in YOUR BIBLE..but you take them lightly
There are food drives, clean water stations and medical needs that are in need of your time and monetary donations rather than giving your time and money to a gold sink that evades taxes and hurts humanity in more ways than many wars or natural disasters has in the past. I have been slowly and carefully been planting seeds of doubt in their faiths and hope one day they will see things for themselves how wrong they are about religion
Challenging the Cults: Answering Jehovah Witnesses
But whether they heard him as such or refrained from hearing and paying attention to him, the occasion was to come when these rebellious people would 'know also that a prophet himself happened to be in the midst of them.' Jehovah would confirm him as a prophet before them by causing what Ezekiel prophesied to come true...Likewise it was a trying mission upon which the modern Ezekiel class was sent, to religious people of the same type as those in Ezekiel's day. Revelation 6:9-11 9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held
Thanks to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and the loving support of Christian family members outside of the Watchtower, Frank found the REAL Jesus and is experiencing true spiritual freedom daily in the Word of God.PattyLeft 24 years in the Watchtower to find peace and joy in JesusPatty was Born and raised as a Christian but was never grounded in the Word of God. Her family followed the teaching of Russell and became special pioneers, putting in 150 hours a month in door to door ministry, traveling from town to town in the Midwest and showing his photodrama of creation
Not even taking into account the unscriptural teachings, absurd standards and rules, and the service obligations, it is easy to see why youths would leave. He never made a rule about only accepting the worship of people who went to meetings a few times a week! I was appalled when I learned from fellow JWs about the contributions given to traveling overseers

Michael Jackson would still be alive now if he had remain a JW JW is the only true religion all the others are cults brain washing people minds making them believe that what they are doing is right when it is wrong.
Although Witnesses believe that everything in the Bible is true, they also believe it contains symbolism and that not all passages should be taken literally. Life and Death Witnesses believe that life is a sacred gift of God, who alone has the right to decide the requirements for its continuance or termination
Is the Pope really ordained by God? Was Muhammad really a prophet of the most high? When you question the faiths of Catholicism or Islam, you will find that these faiths are nothing more than cults, masquerading as Religion. Prior to commencing this joyous event, the Body of Elders (sometimes assisted by Ministerial Servants, or those to whom responsibility and privilege has been given) fill up glasses with wine, as well as place the Ryvita on several clean, white plates, and pass them around so that everyone can look at and actually touch these glasses of wine and these clean plates (that have Ryvita neatly placed on them)
How long did it take you to graduate from what took the rest of us 12 years to complete? Was it a whole week? Of course you would think yourself better than the disciples of Jesus. During the purchase of the photographic copy, they omit the worldwide circulation not observing the use terms of the delivery note nor handing over complimentary copies to the archive.The picture was taken during Lleida bombing in November 1937, and it shows a woman crying before de dead body of her husband
Jehovah's Witness Beliefs, Rules, Facts, History and Bible
It transforms this from a process that began when Christ allegedly returned invisibly and became king in 1914 to a future event associated with his judging mankind at the Battle of Armageddon. The only book that you should bring to the table is the Bible itself, with the possible exception of Watchtower literature, which we will discuss shortly
Why Jehovah's Witnesses Don't Celebrate Mother's Day.
( See Memorial Celebration ) Why? Because the Watchtower teaches that only 144,000 go to heaven and ONLY these 'anointed' ones are in a relationship with Jesus. The Watchtower says this, 'And should we not strive to be obedient and submissive to those taking the lead in our local congregation?'

However, what is the motive of those nations when they go to war? Is it to carry out the will of the Creator of all the earth or is it to further some nationalistic interest? We all know the answer. They believe that Satan is the ruler of this world: John 12:31 (NIV) Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out

The group pays close attention to the origins of all other festivities and finds in Bible Scriptures the validation to abstain from celebrating most religious, local and national holidays. Witnesses celebrate it with a special lecture after sundown on the date that corresponds to Nisan 14 on the Jewish calendar, which may or not coincide with Passover
Defend Jehovah's Witnesses: Jehovah's Witnesses and Birthdays - Why Don't They Celebrate?

Jehovah's Witness stance against Birthday Celebrations and why it is wrong
If we are to assume the inclusion of something bad in the Bible is to warn against such things, despite no statement to that affect, then endless more rules can be conjured. Why does the Watchtower not hold birthdays to the same standard? 2 Samuel contains the only instance where a siesta is mentioned in the Bible, and results in a beheading
There are but only TWO instances of the custom of annual celebration of birthdays recorded in the Bible and it is of great noteworthiness to seekers of God's TRUTH (be such ones members of Jehovah's Witnesses or not) that on BOTH occasions THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED WERE NOT GOD'S FAITHFUL WORSHIPPERS and the events of the celebration were obviously unrighteous. You just won't find US participating (for reasons already stated) and we simply would like people to mutually respect our right and choice NOT to do so
Birthdays.
(See The Watchtower Oct 15, 1998, Questions From Readers re: why it's ok to celebrate a wedding anniversary and not a birthday anniversary.) Why Jehovah's Witnesses Don't Celebrate Holidays. This is because such celebrations focus too much attention on the individual and the only birthdays of Bible record are those of pagan rulers who did not serve God
