This
article is written in love for all my readers who have been or may yet
be in the cult of the Jehovahs Witnesses. When you became a member you
were baptized into this belief system. It was mandatory that you be in
agreement with all the teachings of the governing body or you would be
in big trouble, isn’t that right ? Now, below I have listed some of
the beliefs that you embraced when you made the commitment by baptism
into the Jehovahs Witnesses. If I am in error on any of these please
let me know in the comments.
1. Jesus preexisted as Michael the arch angel and was the first creation of GOD.
2. Only 144,000 of the membership will go to heaven and from there rule with Christ.
3. Only these 144,000 can partake of the bread and wine.
4. The refusal of blood transfusions.
5. The insistence that Jesus was crucified on a stake and not a cross. (This is irrelevant to the faith)
6. That the group of witnesses not included in the 144,000 will live forever in the flesh as a human beings on paradise Earth.
7. That the kingdom of GOD was established in heaven in 1914.
8. That Satan was cast out of heaven in 1914.
9. Rulership is by a governing body composed of the 144,000.
10.
They keep the new covenant Passover only once a year coinciding with
the Old Testament Passover date of Nisan 14th. (This is old covenant)
11. They conduct door to door evangelism in the attempt to fulfill the great commission.
12. They say the Ten Commandments have been abolished by Jesus’s sacrifice.
13.
They claim to be Jehovahs “witnesses” or a person or persons that have
actually seen an event as it was taking place. A witness must see and
or hear a real time event in order to testify as to its truthfulness and
accuracy.
14. They insist that GODS name is Jehovah.
15. They believe Jesus was raised from the dead spiritually not physically.
16. Their baptism is into their organization not into Christ alone.
They see baptism also as one’s dedication to Jehovah and his earthly
organization. They accept the teachings of Jesus but link baptism to
the organization of the Jehovahs Witnesses. This is what other churches
in the world do. Baptism is directly linked to the teachings of each
church.
17. They believe Jesus was crucified on Friday and resurrected on Sunday.
These
17 teachings of the Jehovahs Witnesses can be easily proven to be
irrelevant nonsense or false by the scriptures.
If you want detailed proof from scripture put your request in the comments and I will provide it.
Just as with all other
earthly false churches they fall prey to the doctrines invented by
carnal minds. They do have some things that are correct but these only
serve as a lure to hook the people into joining them just as this method
is used by Satan in all other false churches. Other examples are the
law deception by Herbert W. Armstrong or the false claims of Anthony
Buzzard. Satan will allow a little truth but then mix it with a lot of
lies. This violates the spiritual principle of “no lie is of the
truth”. 1 John 2:21 and the scriptures cannot be broken. Matthew 14:32
2 Timothy 3:16
If
you came out of the cult of the Jehovahs Witnesses the only way this
could happen is that GOD would give you a portion of HIS spirit to see
the deception you were in. The baptism you had in the cult was false
because, “he who BELIEVES and is baptized”, you must come to know the
truth and the truth will set you free. You were baptized into a cult and
now that the spirit of GOD has brought you out, you need the one true
baptism in Christ. I was in the cult of the Worldwide Church of God and
after being led out by the spirit I came to see that my baptism into
this cult was a lie and I was then baptized in the name of Jesus only.
After this my growth in the Spirit accelerated dramatically and I was
able to eat meat and not just drink milk. The same thing will happen to
anyone in any cult if GOD decides to call you out of it.
When
GOD speaks to us by HIS Spirit to our spirit we do not always perceive
this and think it is our own thoughts. I did this too at first but then
it dawned on me that hey, I didn’t know these things, I was ignorant of
them, how could they have originated in me ? I am not that smart.
These thoughts were going against everything I was taught by the cult I
was in. Then I realized it was GOD giving me those thoughts. How can
you or I think about something we are totally ignorant of ? It’s like
trying to teach a cat algebra. Over time we learn to recognize this
voice in our minds and learn to trust the voice. I have heard this
voice many times since I was first converted. We don’t control when
this voice speaks it just does when GOD speaks to us by a voice. Psalm
62:11 Job 26:14 Hebrews 1:2 Hebrews 3:15 Acts 10:15 Jesus said
his FATHERS Spirit is what leads us into all truth. John 16:13 Were
you guided into all truth in the JW’s ?
I
was not alone in this experience there were several others of GODS
elect that were called and chosen along with me and we were all taught
by GOD through Jesus Christ. I have said before that all of GODS elect
saints are prophets and prophetesses receiving divine revelation
teaching from GOD. We all learn from the FATHER through Jesus. John
6:45. Isaiah 54:13 1 John 2:27 John 10:27 1 Corinthians 2:10-13
John 14:26
While
I have focused on the Jehovahs Witnesses in this article I point out
the fact that all the false churches on this Earth are cults too.
GOD can give HIS spirit before baptism.
All the ancient saints before Jesus had the Holy Spirit but were
circumcised not baptized. When Jesus went to John the Baptist to be
baptized it wasn’t for himself but for those ancient elect saints in
order to, “fulfill all righteousness” Matthew 3:15 and “confirm the
promises” made to the fathers. Jesus was the promised seed of Abraham.
Romans 15:8 Acts 3:25-26 Acts 13:32-33 After the baptism by John
circumcision was abolished in the church and baptism took its place. How
can your baptism be valid if you were baptized into an angels death ?
Did an angel die for you or was it the human son of GOD. Once you are
led by GODS spirit to believe the truth then you need to be baptized
into Christ.
Please
do not be offended by this article. As I said in the beginning of it,
it was written in GODLY love. As someone who has been in Christ now for
over 30 years I know what I have written here is true. When Peter
commanded that Cornelius was to be baptized there was no objection from
Cornelius. Cornelius desired to obey the command of Jesus. Many have
said to me that this is a personal decision but it is not if it is a
command, is it. There are 4 witnesses I know who can testify to the
truth written here because they all have experienced it.
