Jehovah's Witnesses left a leaflet on my door?

Question

"The End of False Religion Is Near!"

Who's kidding who?

Answer 1

The powerful title of this tract is true.What Jehovah's Witnesses don't realize is that they are part of false religion while they are posing as "elitist" Christians. I feel sorry for them,it's not their fault. If the Jehovah's Witnesses were indeed the "true" religion, why would their Governing Body tell them not to research outside the Watchtower publications? If you knew you had the absolute truth why would it bother you to look at "apostate" literature? If you know you have the "truth" you have nothing to worry about,right?

Answer 2

The false religion the leaflet is speaking of is the Catholic Church which Jehovah's Witnesses believe is guilty of idolitry, spreading false doctrine, meddling in human wars and politics and turning a blind eye to immoral activities within it's own ranks.

Answer 3

Actually that's "Who's kidding whom?"

Are you saying False Religion's End is not Near?

Answer 4

They are NOT kidding.
ALL religions (not just Catholic) make billions upon billions of dollars off of people. Even one failing such as this condemns these religions.
Jehovahs Witnesses at the most charged only for the cost of materials of their publications in the past. Jehovahs Witnesses now charge nothing for
literature whether its a small tract or the American Standard Version of the Bible. We do not solicit funds from anyone. We do not sell anything on our website www.watchtower.org
All our meeting places are built by contractors that are Jehovahs Witnesses and they receive no payment. They are volunteers as all of us are. We all have careers to support ourselves and our family.
We only adhere to First Century Christianity therefore we follow Apostle Paul's example.
He was a tent maker his entire life and never received an "income" as Christ's servant. No true religion requires its people to give money. Everything given must be voluntary.

Answer 5

Jehovah's Witnesses are humans just like everyone else and so being that do sin. But you need to look at the fruit of what ones religion is producing and and I would ask you to show me a religion that goes by the bible and tries to live to the standards of gods word more than the Jehovah's Witnesses. People that are JW's aren't serving because of men back in Brooklyn they are serving god because they have made a in depth study of the bible and gods word and have compared it to there former beliefs and what other religions have taught them and find that they have found the 1 true religion and faith as it states in the bible that there is one lord and one faith.

Answer 6

These facts about Jehovah's Witnesses are perhaps relevant to this so-called "question". The more one compares this Christian religion with others, the more remarkable it is shown to be.


1. Jehovah's Witnesses have no paid clergy. Yet they remain tightly organized with more than 6.5 million active Jehovah's Witness preachers (about 16 million associate themselves with the religion). Even fulltime preachers and workers at their branch offices are unpaid volunteers.

2. There is no elite class among Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the few 'anointed' among them enjoy no special privileges in their congregations on earth. An anointed person (one of those relative few with a heavenly hope) is not elevated above his fellow congregants in any way, and he may not even qualify for appointment as a simple 'deacon' or elder. There are no titles; EVERYONE is addressed as 'brother' or 'sister'.

3. No person benefits economically from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the 8 to 20 men who serve on their Governing Body receive simply room, board, medical care, and reimbursement for certain personal expenses according to the exact same provision as every other branch volunteer.

4. About a hundred men have served on Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body committee during the past 125 years or so. The vast majority of them have spent the vast majority of their adult lives volunteering for their organization's purposes, and the vast majority have died faithfully and near-pennilessly while still under their legal 'vow of poverty'.

5. Amazingly, Jehovah's Witnesses did not splinter as a sect from some other religion. Instead, a truly tiny but sincere group of bible students studied only the Scriptures to determine the will of God. Thus their religion remains absolutely independent of and not carrying the sins of Christendom's history, yet carries the authority of Christ's teachings.

6. Despite the distortions of anti-Witnesses, throughout their modern history Jehovah's Witnesses have refused to claim divine inspiration or infallibility for their teachings. They have pointed to the bible (and not any particular translation) as the only inspired infallible means of knowing God's thoughts. For over 125 years, their teachings have been presented as merely the results of sincere bible research by imperfect but godly humans.

Answer 7

This is just another example of The Watchtower committing the sin of "omittance". By the title of this tract "The End of False Religion is Near", they are implying that everyone else is false but them.
Here's the worst part... This Kingdom News #37 is full of information about horrible things going on in other religions, and they completely omit themselves from these vile things, even though their organization is saturated with them! (Tolerating Immoral Sex, Spreading False Doctrines,etc.) The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is notorious for covering up the over 23,000 pedophile files at their Headquarters in Brooklyn, and their endless false prophesies outcomes that they cover by calling "New Light" or progressive understanding. The Society uses this "ommitance" tactic to convince followers that they are in the "truth".

Answer 8

Tract #37 simply tells you what "false" & "True" Religion is:

What is false religion?

Why does religion seem to be at the root of so many problems?
The fault lies, not with all religion, but with “false” religion.

False Religion...MEDDLES IN WAR AND POLITICS: How many religions can you think of whose members engage in war?

False Religion...SPREADS FALSE DOCTRINE: Most religions teach that the soul of spirit is some invisible part of a human that survives the death of the physical body. However, the Bible teaches a different doctrine. “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.” Ezekiel 18:4 Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected, an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul. Does your religion teach that the soul does not die?

False Religion...TOLERATES IMMORAL SEX: Church groups ordain gay and lesbian members of the clergy. What, though, does the Bible teach? It plainly states: “Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men.” 1 Cor. 6:9,10 Do you know of religions that condone immoral sex?

How to identify true religion.

True Religion...PRACTICES LOVE: True worshippers are “no part of the world,” are not divided by race or culture, and display “love among themselves.” Rather than killing one another, they are willing to die for one another.

True Religion...TRUSTS GOD'S WORD: Instead of teaching “tradition” and “commands of men as doctrines,” true religion bases its doctrine on God's Word, the Bible

True Religion...STRENGTHENS FAMILIES AND UPHOLDS HIGH MORAL STANDARDS: True religion trains husbands to “love their wives as their own bodies,” helps wives to develop “deep respect for their husbands,” and teaches children to “be obedient to their parents.”

Answer 9

For this day I will be amongst the joyful. Will you?

[012:104] And no reward you (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) ask of them (those who deny your Prophethood) for it; it (the Qur'ân) is no less than a Reminder and an advice to the 'Âlamîn (men and jinn).

[012:105] And how many a sign in the heavens and the earth they pass by, while they are averse therefrom.

[012:106] And most of them believe not in Allâh except that they attribute partners to Him (i.e. they are Mushrikûn, i.e. polytheists. See Verse 6:121).

[012:107] Do they then feel secure from the coming against them of the covering veil of the torment of Allâh, or of the coming against them of the (Final) Hour, all of a sudden while they perceive not?

[012:108] Say (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]): "This is my way; I invite to Allâh (i.e. to the Oneness of Allâh – Islâmic Monotheism) with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me (also must invite others to Allâh, i.e. to the Oneness of Allâh – Islâmic Monotheism with sure knowledge). And Glorified and Exalted is Allâh (above all that they associate as partners with Him). And I am not of the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh; those who worship others along with Allâh or set up rivals or partners to Allâh)."

[012:109] And We sent not before you (as Messengers) any but men to whom We revealed, from among the people of townships. Have they not travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those who were before them? And verily, the home of the Hereafter is the best for those who fear Allâh and obey Him (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds, and by performing righteous good deeds). Do you not then understand?

[012:110] (They were reprieved) until, when the Messengers gave up hope and thought that they were denied (by their people), then came to them Our Help, and whomsoever We willed were rescued. And Our punishment cannot be warded off from the people who are Mujrimûn (criminals, sinners, disbelievers, polytheists).

[012:111] Indeed in their stories, there is a lesson for men of understanding. It (the Qur'ân) is not a forged statement but a confirmation of (Allâh's existing Books) which were before it [i.e. the Taurât (Torah), the Injîl (Gospel) and other Scriptures of Allâh] and a detailed explanation of everything and a guide and a mercy for a people who believe.
