"Recently, 'the faithful and discreet slave' has
helped us to refine our understanding of the term 'generation' used at Matthew 24:34 and of the timing of the judgment
of 'the sheep' and 'the goats' mentioned at Matthew 25:31-46, as well as of our view toward certain types of civilian
service. No doubt some apostates would have been delighted if many of Jehovah's Witnesses had stuck rigidly to
the previous understanding of such subjects and refused to progress. Nothing of the kind has happened. Why? Jehovah's people are loyal." - Watchtower August 1, 1997 page 12 "Jehovah's People Are Loyal"
Loyalty To A Man's Organization Comes First

Is Having Complete Unity On Doctrinal Issues The Identifying Mark Of True Christians ? The Watchtower Brags How They Are One Of The Few Groups Who Reject The Trinity, Hellfire And Immortality Of The Soul, Restored God's Name In The Scriptures And The Only Ones Who Teach 1914, A Literal Kingdom Government And Many Other Doctrines. Does This Mean They Are The Only True Christians? |

Are We Living In The Last Days ?
Many Denominations Of Christendom, Along With Jehovah's Witnesses, Are Convinced That We Are In The "Last Days" Mentioned In The Bible." Look out that you are not misled, for many will come on the basis of my name saying, I am he (his appointed slave class) and The due time (1914) has approached. Do not go after them." - (Luke 21:7)AND

Earthquakes, Food Shortages, Warfare and Disease are all events that "must occur" as they have always occurred from the beginning of man's existence and are NOT part of the sign.
There are many different words used in the Greek New Testament concerning Christ's Second Coming. Do they support the Watchtower's interpretation of an invisible presence of the Christ or do they all pertain to a one time event?

Here's some thoughts of then two extremes of being out in field service. Elders and Ministerial Servants are deleted if they do not have enough hours filled out on a slip of paper each month. Others members are judged either "spiritually strong" or "spiritually weak", depending on how many hours they count each month in the preaching work. The United States national average of hours counted door to door preaching is 10 hours per month. Auxiliary Pioneers are 60 hours per month and Pioneers are 83 hours per month. |

Some Questions And Answers I Had As One Of Jehovah's Witnesses |
|
|
Lord, WHOM Shall We Go Away To ? Leaving The Organization Is Not Leaving The Truth. One Can Still Serve Jehovah and Jesus Certainly if "death, nor life, nor angels , nor governments, nor things now here, nor height nor depth, nor any other creation can separate us from God's love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord", then neither can any religious group, organization or self appointed "slave class" separate us either. We have every right to pray with our family and children, regardless of some organizational rejection, for our relationship is with God and Christ, not men who take on a divine role of mediatorship. (Romans 8:38-39) |

Legalism & Jehovah's.Witnesses
Legalism always blinds its followers to spiritual reality. Legalism drives out the revelatory ministry of the Holy Spirit. I have never heard a person caught in the midst of legalism confess that he or she was legalistic. I have heard many people caught in the midst of immorality confess their immorality, but I have never heard a legalist confess legalism. There is something so blinding about that sin.

Is This a Class of Persons ? Or Is It Each Individual Christian ? If This Does Not Pertain To An Elite Small Number Of Christians Having A Central Spokesman, The Governing Body, Then The New Light From The Watchtower Is Meaningless. |
And

Check out what Apostle Paul did after his
anointing by Christ in the first chapter of Galatians. He made it a point not to go to Jerusalem and when he finally
did, it was not to see any governing body.

See What Scriptures The Watchtower Bible And Tract Society Use To Completely Shun Anyone Who Officially Leaves The Organization. Witnesses are forbidden to communicate with former members in anyway, including a greeting. This Shunning Policy Is The Major Reason Why Many Persons Speak Out Against The Watchtower Society. If This Policy Were Dropped, There Would Be A Sharp Decrease In Criticism, For All Religions Have Erroneous Teachings. Many "Cult" experts, agree that two major identifying marks of a destructive group are, first, the restrictions on reading or obtaining any information from former members and second, the shunning of those who have left the group. |

"A family's love is a much stronger force than the conditional love given by a cult's members and leaders. A family's love supports one's right to grow into an autonomous adult and make one's own life decisions. A cult's love attempts to keep a person forever as a dependent adolescent -- threatening to be withdrawn (expelled) if the person makes his own life decisions that differ from the leader's orders." - Steve Hassan - Combating Cult Mind Control, page 122.

1. Is this a blanket ruling with no exceptions, and a "one size fits all" legal requirement that applies to each and every marriage with out considering each marriage's individual circumstances ? Or does God want "mercy, not sacrifice", which allows many of his laws to be broken, due to the individual circumstances ? 2. Could Jesus words, include spiritual fornication? For when the nation of Israel, broke their vow with their, "husbandly owner", God, and began to rely on Assyria, Egypt, Babylon and other nations for military, political and spiritual strength, God condemned them as spiritual fornicators, equaling their actions to physical fornication, calling the nation a "hoar" and a "prostitute" "who kept lusting in the style of concubines belonging to those whose fleshly member is as the fleshly member of males asses and whose genital organ is as the genital organ of male horses." God himself, then divorced Israel and allowed Assyria to destroy the northern 10 tribe of Ephraim and later Babylon to destroy the southern two tribe of Judah. |

Are various holidays and celebrations displeasing to God because of their Pagan origins? Does having Pagan origins make certain customs and holidays unclean and part of false worship? Are there any scriptural accounts of God's true servants following Pagan customs? AND |
