True or False? JWs are afraid of bringing home other Christian material in fear of that it might be inhabited?

Question

by deamons who might take up residence in their house if brought inside?

Michelle Chang: Another non-answer. You know, you are the one with hate and meanness. Look at my questions. Have I ever name called anyone of you. I am questioning your doctrines because you claim to be Christians and you are not by your doctrines.

Look at the answers Chistians give. Take the to you heart, and think for yourself.

I am not anti JW, I am anti JW doctrines, they are not Biblical.

And I have NEVER been JW. And I will never be either. I have never been your sister in Christ, because you do not serve the same Christ I serve.

Moises_Frias: I doubt that many people would actually buy your magazine...other than your own group. I have not met one person outside of JW cult who actually read them, they just take them to get rid of you guys faster.

Answer 1

You DID HIT the TRUTH BUTTON with Michelle because it "FLUFFED HER FEATHERS". I don't know why but honesty brings out the "bad" in some people. Remember, I said SOME and not all.
You are correct. My JW friend (not here no more) told me to get rid of my Last Supper Painting because that's how the devil can enter and control the home. I think MAYBE this JW's got some kind of unnatural powers of their own (ungodly). Well after she told me that , I sat my painting on the (some weeks after) floor to wipe the wall behind of the painting and my dog ran out of nowheres.............his claws scratched it up and ruined it! That is no coincidence. Bless her sleep but what can I make of that.

Answer 2

No, JWs don't believe demons inhabit it. Nor do they fear finding the truth.

What you might call "denomination literature", stuff preachers want their church people to have and read, generally tells little to nothing about the churches beliefs. Most of the time it is neutral Bible stories, etc. Nothing doctrinal.

Only some 30% of JWs are "born and raised" that way. The bulk of us are those who were raised in other areas or other religions, ideologies, etc.

In my case, I was raised Methodist until I was age 15 (Dad was disfellowshipped for preaching against all the sexual immorality in that faith by the preachers). He now has an antireligion website and also knows most of what JWs do (he has 13 degrees).

We went to Asembly of God for awhile. I later worked in the Presbyterian Church for a year, dated their preacher some time after that, have a degree from a Baptist seminary, ran the church programs at a local radio station for a year and studied a lot of religion and history things at a state college as well as talking and writing to countless people in all my years.

As JWs, we tend to ALREADY know what other churches believe, we talk to everyone and we don't skip preachers, we use "authoritive references" like historical ones, Greek/Hebrew word dictionaries, all Bible translations, etc. But it is a total waste of time and a pretense to "swap literature".....besides that we don't bargain away our faith by reading others stuff on the offchance they'll read ours, we know that people who use such offers really intent to just trash ours and laugh about it....that is dishonest and unchristlike (John 8:44, Rev. 21:8).

We do not waste time playing games with others.

We can use encyclopedias, books such as religion surveys (Like Leo Rosten's Book Religion in America) and other things to find out what other religions believe....as well as internet sources....we stay way ready ahead of time for all the people who deny that God (Jehovah) truly sent his Son to earth to die for sins. And for any other thing people might throw at us.

And the Bible tells us we must make sure of which religion is telling the truth. 1 John 4:1, 1 thessalonians 5:21, Acts 17:11, John 8:32, 4:23, 24, etc. Our religion can't be an accident of birth, etc. but a well researched choice or it will not save us.

Answer 3

False - I think.

This applies to icons, images of 'Saints' and such objects that may have been inherited from people that may have delved into spiritualism and the occult.

In today's world they may be discouraged from reading such, but not for your reason.

The ironic thing is that some of the pictures in the Wt publications have been CLEARLY tainted by demons. (demon faces in a hand, Zeus's picture appearing unwanted on a dress, etc) This is clearly unintended and undesired by the Wt -- nonetheless, it is there for all to see. The only ones that don't know about it yet are the Wt regulars.

Thus it would seem that all of mankind has to watch out for demons and their works. Just as Jesus was attacked by Satan so are we all. The question then is -- do we fight them or join them?

Answer 4

Well, they believe that because the WT says so. But what is the real reason the WT says so? Because, just like the "independent thinking" that they condemn, reading material that debates their doctrines and makes more Biblical and rational sense, will tear someone from the clutches of the WT.

Answer 5

what material ? do you have a magazine as the Watchtower that use hundred times the bible and that explain what will be the future of this planet under God´s kingdom? in all my year the only material are "go to hell material" over of that nothing.
the same about the answer "you hell, me saved"

why your church don´t prepare a magazine that teach people at least what date Jesus Christ gave his life for us? it is a shame for you and your christians friends that that kind is information it is easily find it in any Watchtower publications and in none of your literature.

you are always talking about "biblical Jesus" and no nothing about him, all what you have learn about Jesus is reading all the answer of the Jehovah´s witnesses but few months ago if I asked you "what date Jesus died or his date of birth you and your friends even have the minor idea but now you only need to read the answers of Jehovah´s witnesses to give the answer, what a shame.

And let supposed that your Qs make fall the JWs in USA, what about the rest of the 238 countries, what are you going to do with the almost 150 millions NWT bibles in almost 60 languages around the world? and with the billions of magazines in hundreds of languages that you even recognized that exist? oh Nina this preaching work it is so huge for you and your friends and it is unstopable.

Answer 6

at the start, WHY shouldn't we season our replies with salt? isn't that the way of a real Christian? consistent with threat many human beings are starting to be slightly too heated up in this website. could that be devil wanting that to happen? consistent with threat you're able to think of that one over. 2d, he substitute right into a guy whilst he substitute into in the international; Jesus Christ substitute right into a suitable guy as a count of certainty. the only different suitable guy substitute into Adam. to that end, the reason of the ransom; a suitable guy for a suitable guy! You do be responsive to that Jesus substitute into not in basic terms observed as the Son of God he substitute into additionally observed as Son of guy. (Eze. 2:a million, Da. 7:3, Mt. 10:23, Mt. 12:40, Mt. 24:30, Lu. 17:26, Re. 14:14...to call some) you're able to realize which you will get so lots greater flies with honey than vinegar.

Answer 7

I have heard people (not JWs) feel that things made or written by a person carries an energy of said person which could affect the immediate environment.

Answer 8

False. Most material is harmless though most have an incredibly wrong interpretation of the scriptures. There is one area you might have gotten confused. That is things having to do with spiritism. Things like that can have demon influence with them. Most of those things do not, as they are just people with mental problems, but there are some actual demons do influence. The supernatural things not done by tricks people can do. This is rare, but why tempt it? The Bible tells us to flee from spiritism listing it in the bad category with adultery, fornication and drunkenness.

As for Christ, we follow the Christ of the Bible. Which do you follow?

Answer 9

No.

The vast majority of Jehovah's Witnesses certainly do NOT avoid non-Witness religious writing primarily (or even partially) because they fear it may be a conduit for demons. For the most part, Witnesses simply know that they have the truth, and do not need quasi-theological works of philosophy, which is what is mostly marketing today as contemporary "Christian material".

Answer 10

I AM NINA,.... THE ANTI-JEHOVAH'S WITNESS ROBOT....
....DANGER WILL ROBINSON..... OVERLOAD.....OVERLOAD.....

I have not met a Jehovah's Witness that exhibited much fear.
Yet you, with you unending assault on the JW's seem to be quite afraid of them.
What is it about the Jehovah's Witnesses, that has put such a fear onto you?
Is it their honesty?
Their straight living?
Or is it the way that they have such love for one another?
Must be something you are jealous of, otherwise you would get on with your pathetic life and stop your tunnel-vision slander against these generally peaceful peoples.

You seem to know a lot about the JW's, so you must have been raised one, and are rebbelling. I hope that goes well for you, yet it really, I must re-itterate, be hard, as you seem to not be able to get on with your life.
