Is it so that no one can be help accountable to the untruths that their magazines and 'bible' teach?
Look at a 'new world translation' 'bible'.
In the concordance you will find the words of Jesus:
"Verily, verily I say unto you,"
But on the cross:
"Verily, verily I say unto you today,"
They move the comma, to twist the real meaning, it is the only verily, verily where they move the comma and then built a false doctrine around it!
like the guy on the cross with Christ needed to be told, by Christ, that he was speaking TODAY!
Was that guy going to be confused?
Oh, you are telliing me today. I thought you were telling me last week, thanks for clearing that up!
ABSOLUTELY NO SCHOLARSHIP EVER WENT INTO 'TRANSLATING' THE 'NWT BIBLE'!
Charles Russell was excommunicated (kicked out/defrocked) by two mainline Christian denominations for heresy because he started teraching from his personal tastes of what GOD should be, not from the bible!
Google Charles Taze Russell
It is true!!!

The Bible, the REAL Bible, tells us to be careful of false doctrines, resist the devil and to preach the truth. These are the Rules I obey in posts like these. They are designed to challenge those who are, unknowingly, trapped in a false system. Most times the root of the cult they are is has never bee seen by the member of the cult.
I would like all to notice taht the obviously JW anwerers here regularly sidestep the question and other info posted to just tells us that I hate, or am confused or was burned or some other non-issue.
The darkness hates the light!
The Founder, Russell, even borrowed from mormonism in his ADAM-SATAN are brothers idea.
God, creator, became in the form of man and offered many proofs that they still have not excised from the NWT 'bible'
In the old testament, it says that only GOD walks upon the face of the deep (WATER/SEA/OCEAN)
Jesus did this and yes Jesus/God worked a miracle by allowing Peter to do it, too.

The true Bible and even the false NWT 'bible' show these things:
GOD created ALL things
The Holy Spirit created ALL things
Jesus created ALL things.
God raised Jesus from the dead
The Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead
Jesus had the power to lay down his life and ONLY he had the power to pick it up again, hence
Jesus raised Jesus from the dead.
There exists, just from these two examples only two possibilities:
1 The Bible is wrong due to misunderstanding, purposeful falsehoods, or guesses
2 God is triune as he indicates when he says this in the ancient language:
God (singular) said, "let us (plural of the same term GOD, meaning the exact same, but plural) make man (singular) in our image (singular)
The purposeful lack of signature has been used by JW's, for years, to avoid culpability
"how can you argue if you do not know WHO said it?"

Jehovahs witness are neither from Jehovah God nor are they witnesses!
The Watchtower Society building in Brooklyn, New York is nothing but a business that is out to make as much money as they can out of their followers! They misrepresent the Bible as well as misrepresent God!
They would not know the truth even if it came down and bit them!

The only reason for your ???, is to receive negative answers, so let's take a survey since you like to ask & receive.
Let's take a "survey" and get the opinions (of people) by asking specific questions.
1. Were any of you ever a Jehovah's Witness?
2. Did you just decide to leave without a reason?
3. Was there a reason?
4. Were you disfellowshipped?
5. If you were disfellowshipped, for what reason?
Here are some reasons one can be removed from
the Congregation, please choose one or more.
Some of the offenses that could merit disfellowshipping from the Christian congregation are fornication, adultery, homosexuality, greed, extortion, thievery, lying, drunkenness, reviling, spiritism, murder, idolatry, apostasy, and the causing of divisions in the congregation.
6. Or is it just because you hate what we believe?
7. JW's are in 235 lands & islands, we respect the flag of each country unlike most christian religions, Why do you think, the prisons are full of so-called Christians, why is it that so-called Christians are the ones that "burn, spit, step on the "flag" and show disrespect not only to the flag but to the country they live in?
I can think of a President of the U.S.A. that saluted or said the pledge of allegiance every day, yet He had to leave office because of wrong doing, and the deliberate act of deviating from the truth. So the saluting and pledge is not what makes you a good person, it's obeying God's Word, that does.
8. Is it because of people that could care less about
God's rules that are layed out in the Bible, you
people have 3 things on your brain, Catholics,
Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses.
9. Why don't you people wise up and start acting like a
Christian, isn't that what most of you claim to be?

Jehovah's Witnesses direct attention to the Almighty, Jehovah God, and to His chosen King, Christ Jesus. Jehovah's Witnesses do not have any clergy, and do not use honorific titles in any way.
Additionally, most articles are written by teams rather than by an individual. Based on this so-called "question", it seems that a side benefit of this policy is that it tends to deprive rabidly anti-Witness activists of the grounds with which they would certainly and personally slander and attack individuals rather than the unassailable logic and Scripturality of Witness writings.

No one really wants to take the blame for false info. Remember they wrote their own bible to suit their own needs and try to fool ones to come into the cult, they are a bunch of liers who come in sheeps coverings but are wolfs underneath, matter of fact the book on cults has listed this cult as the most deadliest one.
