Jehovah's Witnesses unique position

I was a Jehovah's Witness so I know what they teach.  While I was with them I made it my habit to listen.  Now I know that what they teach is not much different than any other Christian religion.  There exists two chief differences.  They teach there is not hell fire torment after death.  The other major difference is their belief that Earth should I mean will be made a paradise by them, and for them.

Jehovah has said "I have not changed".  Malachi 3:6  The Word says "the dead are conscious of nothing".   Ecclesiastes 9:5  Can Jehovah change that?  In other words if it pleased Mighty God who created everything but Mighty God, even the laws of physics and spirit, can Jehovah change that rule?  Can Jehovah make a person suffer after death?  Is it possible?  Well, I know they teach The Word is not God, so the word can change, can it not?  Then if the Word can change it might be possible to suffer for a time after death.  What do you think?

The other thing that the World should do that the Jehovah's Witnesses teach is a given which is to be transformed into paradise is that dependent on how things stack up?

Hold on a second.

The Jehovah's Witnesses teach that the Earth shall be transformed into a paradise.  They teach it will happen. Dependent on what?  Nothing.  They teach it is dependent on nothing but the will of god.  So I see little difference in what they teach (Earth a paradise) to what other Christian religions teach (Heaven a paradise).

What do I think it is dependent on?   Understanding.  And cooperation.  Of course it is possible.  I think it is an easier thing to transform Earth than it is to change one's mind, don't you?  

Ya, I know!

I think it's sooooooo cool!  :)

You will say

Jesus said to "go baptizing".  Did he?  You better be sure.

How?

I think it's called thinking.

The world is a closed system, isn't it?  I think now we know that it is.

So what happens to one person happens to every person.  I think that is what it means.

So the baptism means "come on!  Let's do for Jehovah!"

There is ONE baptism.  One faith, one God, one Spirit, One Lord.  That is the Baptism that You're Lord said to do.  And you're not doing it, are you?

Are you?  I have no idea if you are or aren't.  So that makes me an enemy of both sides.  And I'm glad.  

Why am I glad?  Oh, so glad you asked!  I don't like taking sides.  I don't have to.  It is what "coming out" means, doesn't it?

I can talk to myself any way I damn please.  

I have better things to do Jehovah's Witnesses

Than to state the obvious.

Does the Bible say God is the head of The Christ?  Does it say The Christ is the head of every man?  Yes?

Then God is leading ALL THE PEOPLE.  No?

You have taken pride in being chosen to do the will of God.

What is the will of God please?



Fine.  You will say it is to "make disciples".  Matthew 28:19
You might say too it is to "preach the word".

There are two things wrong with understanding Matthew 28:19 the way you have been taught.
You have been taught to make disciples like yourself.  Yourselves obey the direction from men.  You know you must not put your trust in men, don't you?  Psalm 146:3  Who has told you that scripture does not apply to The Governing Body?  Who?

More important the scripture has a word that does not belong there.  It is "make".  Jesus did not say "go make disciples".  Does it not make more sense that he said "go BE disciples among the people of all nations".    By their FRUITS you will recognize them.  And by their fruits they will demonstrate God's riches and glory.  Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it HOLY. Exodus 20:8   Holiness belongs to Jehovah. Zechariah 14:20 Is that not so?

By your proselytizing you are making children  for Jehovah.  Holiness means Jah will be making children HIMSELF, thank you very much.
