Jehovah's Witnesses to meet in Ogden

Jehovah's Witnesses dissident speaks.

Jehovah's Witnesses are noted for their chief doctrine that Jesus had his second coming in 1914 and going door to door with Watchtower magazines.

The Jehovah's Witnesses conventions are the major source of publicity for the Watchtower society,conventions and construction of new Kingdom hall buildings.

The followers are giving a shot of optimism that the end of this old world is coming any minute,like the carrot to the donkey they just keep coming back year after year while their lives stagnate for this apocalyptic sect that keeps manipulating them.

I often invite them in, I enjoy talking to them, but I don't understand how anyone can give up every Saturday of their life to go out proseliting, which they tell me is a life long committment.

Not only do they believe we are living during Jesus 1000 year reign, when I ask them about the evidence for this they are at a loss, I do know the bible says the 1000 years will be years of peace not war.

Besides that, they predicted in the 1800's that Jesus would be coming back then, they sold all their belongings and waited, but he didn't come.

My guess is that the second time they predicted this in 1914, when Jesus didn't make his second coming at that time, they came out with a prouncement that he did any way, because of the great imbarasment of being wrong twice.

Religion being what it is, people were willing to believe anyway, even with lack of evidence.

I found it interesting from this article, one of their talks will be "how can you survive the end of the world"

If I were them I would be more concerned ... how can you live life now.

Living all your life preparing for something that probably isn't going to happen is no way to live life.

The idea here is to generate so much fear that people refuse to talk to JWs. This is a form of mind control, as the posters like Danny Haszard use fear to motivate their audience. Basically what he is saying is: You are not smart enough to see JWs for what they really are so I have to think for you. A PATHETIC BUNCH INDEED!

And by the, JWs have never taught that the thousand year reign has already begun. These comments are so off the mark I'm beginning to wonder if the posters really paid attention when they spoke to JWs.

Jehovah's Witnesses-Living crouched in a little corner waiting for the end to come,trotting door to door circulating a lie.

Jehovah's Witnesses are most welcome to hold conventions with some favorable press to go with it too.
Same as Scientology,Moonies or any other group just don't expect us to accept your teachings because your in town today.

Jehovah's Witnesses want our good people to be 'love bombed' they call it "spiritually upbuilt" at their convention.

When the spell wears off please to your research and use YOUR computer to google Jehovah witness and scroll down for the good stuff.

It is amazing to me that many people are so spiritually asleep that they pay no heed to the message of JW's, a message which they show me in my Bible. They teach hope - the uniting of mankind under God's (Jehovah) kingdom, which I have been praying for: ...holy is your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.

It is evident to me that the world is rapidly changing. Some are changes 4 the good, but many people won't even watch the news. Everyone wants change for the better. Can't God do that? Wouldn't He want to? The JW's appear happy in their work and in daily life. Have we thought: Which side would we have been when they arrested Jesus? Jesus said a slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you too. A prophet is not welcome in his own home town, Jesus said. His own people hung him when they should've been following. I've read the Bible. I pray that God shows me His way & I'm not going to tell Him how...

The end of the world is coming someday.. but it won't be the Watchtower society Jehovah's Witnesses fulfillment.
They set bogus dates over and over...

Lots of atheist scientist are saying we need to save the planet (global warming, over-population,plaques asteroids from outer space...)

The Watchtower has made apocalyptic proclamations profitable.

Please INVESTIGATE thoroughly before you dedicate your life at baptism to the Watchtower Society, the "spirit-directed (???) organization". No independent thinking is allowed thereafter. Then, all your thinking is done for you. The Watchtower Society at one time banned vaccinations, organ transplants, blood fractions and later okayed for their members without any apology for those that suffered and died needlessly. Could the Watchtower okay blood transfusion also some day? The threat of disfellowshipping, expelling, shunning holds their members abusively from using and stating any free thought.

Listen to WTS Vice President "Fred Franz" in 1975 about "1975" on YouTube

Interesting. Catholic has killed Catholic, Protestant has killed Protestant, Muslim has killed Muslim, etc. - all by the tens of millions in name of war and nationalism over the last 60+ years. Yet I've heard not one word of apology or explainantion from their leaders as to why they abandoned THE primary teaching of Christ - love your neighbor as yourself.

And these are spirit-directed organizations??

But you can rest assured, not one person was killed by a JW.

I see all the ANTI Jehovah Witnesses are on here having a hay day. Please go spew somewhere else if you think you know more than we do. We know what we are doing it right rather any of you believe it or not.

250,000 Jehovah's Witnesses are DEAD (since 1945) by a man-made Watchtower society ban on *whole* blood transfusions.

The JW defenders will dance all around this but even the general public know it to be true.
We hear about the deaths all the time on the general news,and when they need to the Watchtower will eulogize these 'martyrs for Jehovah'.
NOW in 2009 the blood ban is so watered down that it looks like theses thousands died in vain for a man made dogma that will soon be lifted altogether.
Outrageous!!

Especially in these difficult times, I have coworkers who are Baptists, Catholics, Muslims etc. who have no clue why things are the way they are. They marvel at me and my family and how we are so calm as we go about teahcing the Bible. They also marvel at the way we raise our kids, polite, well dressed, respect the elderly. Why is it that members of mainstream religions have no idea why human society is in this dilema yet JWs do?

Jehovah's witnesses are not trying to scare people but want to teach them how to survive the end of this system of things. We want to be the sort of people that are judged as righteous by God's standards and want to teach what those standards are from the Bible,not from man's views on what is right or wrong.
We do this because of love for God and neighbor.
When the earth is cleansed of all badness then the prayer we pray and many others pray which is let your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven will have been answered.
Can you imagine? No wars.No hunger. No sickness or dying.Just happy people thankful for their paradise home and no one to spoil their peace anymore. People kind and gentle and loving to each other.
Please let Jehovah's witnesses show you in your Bible these promises.Peace and security by means of
God's kingdom.

Watchtower apocalyptic vision


*Keeping on the Watch* theme is healthy for good measure for all things in life,but not when it's used as a prompt for pushing an end of the world cover for a Watchtower doctrinal structure that has had many flip-flops and back ups.

If the leaders owned up to their errors instead of white washing they would have more respect.
1975 was one of the Watchtower predictions and they should apologize for it.
Don't be like like Chicken Little saying the sky is falling,or crying wolf too many times.

If when Christ comes you are pledging allegiance to ANY nation on the face of the earth you will perish.
Considering the earths current governments are failing at an immense pace destroying the worlds economy thru irresponsible
management and satanic greed I would be pretty fearful if I was pledging allegiance/worshiping one of the pathetic nations on this earth now.
Thats the bottom line.
Daniel 2:44
Revelation 19:18

YOUR CHOICE - Christ or the Nations

Jehovah's Witnesses UN hypocrisy.

The Watchtower Society took a conflicting stand with regard to the United Nations, claiming that it is the wild beast of Revelation that leads all nations in a fight against God and Christ at Armageddon, but signing on as an NGO member and publishing articles that present the UN in a favorable light.

'Reaping the whirlwind'{ Hosea 8:7 }

The Jehovah's Witnesses may want to rethink inviting the general public. I know the congregation overseers in American Fork and Provo are wishing that THIS member of the general public had stayed home. When you tear apart members of MY family, I WILL tell you just how unhappy that makes me feel.

The Provo overseer said that they would not fix the problem that THEY caused so this story is just beginning.

Carlos Simones:
They also marvel at the way we raise our kids, polite, well dressed, respect the elderly.

He is right about that. I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. I knew that if I did anything that my parents didn't approve, I was going to get the crap beat out of me when I got home. If anyone wants to raise their child in an environment of fear and isolation then join the Jehovah's Witnesses.
