Question

caused by the Watchtower Organization's many mistakes?

Many Witnesses were injured or killed during the 60 years they were allowed to go to war.

Many Witnesses contracted smallpox during the years WT Society prohibited vaccinations

Witnesses died who could have lived if they had been allowed to have organ transplants

Messen9: Give me a break. I have told over an over again, that I am not doing this out of hate.

Moises_Frias: I have seen you cutting and pasting this little peace of information many times. How about actually answering the question.

You might not be in situaliton of leaving your organization, but maybe one day you need blood transfusion or something like that and you really have to think for yourself

Answer 1

Every form of pain and suffering in this old world is the blame of Satan the Devil. Even among imperfect humans, it seems that only a tiny minority will be judged to have lived so wickedly that they do not merit a resurrection.
...(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
...(Revelation 12:9) So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth


By contrast, there can be no doubt that the work of the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses has improved the lives of untold millions of persons, even in these decades before Armageddon's judgment.

Jehovah's Witnesses have candidly acknowledged their mistakes, and corrected their teachings whenever bible research indicated such corrections. In this, Jehovah's Witnesses have been exemplary among self-described Christians.

How many "Christian" religions continue to torment the devout with their pagan ideas about hellfire and purgatory?

Answer 2

I don't think they have ever made financial restitution to anyone for anything. You see, they claim that they don't make mistakes. What happens when they change their doctrines or policies is that they claim "the light is getting ever brighter" the closer they get to Armageddon. God, through his holy spirit (they say the Holy Spirit is merely an energy force, not an "it" so they don't use capital letters) reveals new truths to their Governing Body whose job it is, as the "faithful and discrete slave" to administer this spiritual food to "the other sheep". They are well named, because they placidly and unthinkingly accept everything and anything they're told by their elders (pun intended) and betters.

Jehovah's Witnesses would no more think of demanding restitution for failed prophecies and drastic changes in policy (like what blood components can and cannot be accepted instead of whole blood) than they would think of disagreeing with what the Watch Tower Society tells them. They're sheep, you see.

Edit: A quick response to the JW claim that hell is a pagan doctrine. Jesus talked more about the eternal punishment that awaits Satan, his demons and 'the lost' than anyone else in the Bible. The fiery lake of sulphur as described in Revelation completely and utterly destroys any man-made notion about soul annihilation at death. We're talking about the second death, which is eternal.

What kind of restitution has been made because of the financial, physical and /or emotional suffering that was for all the mother that loose their sons supported by Evangelical Christian and the land letter in 2002?

The Land Letter was a letter sent to President George W. Bush by five evangelical Christian leaders on October 3, 2002 which outlined their theological support for a just war pre-emptive invasion of Iraq. The letter was written by Richard D. Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. It was co-signed by Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries, Bill Bright, chairman of Campus Crusade for Christ, James Kennedy, president of Coral Ridge Ministries, and Carl D. Herbster, president of the American Association of Christian Schools.

Answer 4

The Arrogance of the Governing Body, when it changes dogma, and lives are effected, galls me more than anything....More Witnesses have died due to flawed theology than the deaths of all of the cult mass deaths in history, combined.

People were outraged with Gianna, and with the branch Davidians, but where is the outcry with the Witnesses and their mass suicides due to the flawed Blood dogma, or the early edict on vaccines, or organ transplants....Where is the compensation from the WBTS...who is said to be worth Billions in real estate...when they Change their mind!

If there is anything to be despised in this earth, it is a money-grubbing..Church that misleads the massed to death, and they are laughing all the way to the bank!

Answer 5

I haven't heard of any restitution to anyone who chooses to follow that. The word "mistakes" seems a bit strong when other faiths have their own idiosyncrasies.

Answer 6

Since you were rude, be honest. You are hating. Why not deal with the Christian issues and make restitutions on those?

Answer 7

And look how many are going to hell because they have the wrong Jesus. If you have the wrong Jesus, you have the wrong God. If you have the wrong God...you are doomed.

Kinda like how they once taught to worship Jesus, then got away from that. In fact, the NWT's before 1970 have the following reading in Hebrews 1:6...
"But when he again brings his Firstborn into the inhabited earth, he says: 'And let all God's angels worship him'"

In 1970, they changed worship to obesience. But I have a 1950 & 1960 edition right here on my desk that have "worship". And we know God shares His worship with no-one.

Point....they are responsible for sending millions to hell.

Answer 8

I would say that for children injured by that ideology, there probably is a real legal basis for suing the JW church. Adults are SOL.

Answer 9

Oh look, more hate from you. How about the millions of people who died due to the bible. Why not blame the real source of the issue?
