I Have Decided to Leave This Organization!--A Letter from a First Century Christian

Hi, brothers and sisters. I wanted to inform everyone that I have decided to leave the congregation and thus this organization. Below are my reasons why.

First of all, there is constant flip flopping. At first the apostles believe Jesus was setting up the Kingdom when he was on earth. Then they said it will come before John dies. In my studies of the scriptures I have concluded that it is not coming until the wheat and weeds grow together first. That is just now beginning to happen. The apostles are false prophets as they have totally disregarded what Jesus himself said. If they would quit trying to put forth their own interpretations and rely on Jesus they would not be flip flopping back and forth. The truth is the truth. And if you are not telling the truth you are lying. Why should I stay in an organization that lies and makes demon-inspired false prophecies.

Then their is the thing about meat. First James and others say abstain from meat sacrificed to idols. Then Paul has the gaul to say, no, it is ok to eat that meat. Which is it, Paul and James? Can we eat the meat or can we not eat the meat. Since Jesus didn't say anything about it why are rules being made by others like Paul and James (oh by the way, Jesus half brother. hmm . I wonder how he got in the position that he's in. Can we say Nepotism?) I do not serve man, only God. When they start making rules and regulation beyond what Jesus said something is wrong and I will not stand by and be a part of such Pharisaic like thinking.

And speaking of Paul, can you believe what he did about Mark. How unloving. Not wanting Mark to go with him on the missionary tour. A lot of good his missionary tour does. I happen to know that Mark had a good reason for leaving Paul and Barnabus the first time. Barnabus sure thought so too. Paul is ridiculous. I thought Jesus said Love is the identifying mark of the true religion. I do not see such love here in this organization.

You know what else Paul had the nerve to say. Be obedient to those taking the lead among you and be submissive. I am submissive only to Jesus and Jehovah. I do not need men telling me how to worship God. I have the scriptures. Jesus said to worship in spirit and truth. He did not say worship how the elders or Paul or some self appointed governing body in Jerusalem tells you to worship. They have set themselves up above Jesus as God's channel. Why should we stay among men who want glory for themselves and want you under their thumb. How about be obedient to the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul also said, Become imitators of me. Jesus on the other hand said follow after me. Jesus or Paul? Who should we follow? I think I will follow Jesus rather than some old bald headed man who is trying to get glory for himself and usurp Jesus' position as the channel of God.

And then he says this, "A wife is bound during all the time her husband is alive. But if her husband should fall asleep [in death], she is free to be married to whom she wants, only in [the] Lord. 40 But she is happier if she remains as she is, according to my opinion. I certainly think I also have God’s spirit." He gives his opinion and has the nerve to say that he thinks he has God's spirit in what he says. Who is he to say if you will be happier if you don't remarry. Some people happen to like being married. Just because he is single he thinks everyone should be. Is he trying to say that he is the only one serving Jehovah in the right way? I just cannot have respect for a man like this who seeks his own selfish glory rather than God's. How can we be a part of an organization that allows men like this to continue and try to tell us what to do instead of letting what Jesus said come first.

And did you hear about Peter and his good ole boys did. Before the arrival of certain men from James, he used to eat with people of the nations; but when they arrived, he went withdrawing and separating himself, in fear of those of the circumcised class. The rest of the Jews also joined him in putting on this pretense, so that even Bar´na·bas was led along with them in their pretense. That is disgusting. That is apostasy. And what happened to him for that. Nothing. A slap on the wrist. Paul confronted him about it and told him he shouldn't be that way. But he remained a big shot in the congregation and organization. How many people do you think he stumbled with his good ole boys joining right along with him. And yet, if you say anything about it you will be chastised and kicked out for 'speaking abusivley against glorious ones.' Unbelievable that God's organization could be like this. I was of the opinion that Barnabus was a good brother until I found out that he did nothing about it but just went along with Peter because he was probably afraid of losing his position. They should all be removed but since they are big shots in the organization nothing is done to them.

But look what they're trying to do to Diotrephes. Paul wrote something to the congregation about Di·ot´re·phes. He said Diotrephes likes to have the first place among them, does not receive anything from them with respect. Then Paul said that is why, if he comes, he will call to remembrance his works which he goes on doing, chattering with wicked words. Also, not being content with these things, neither does he himself receive the brothers with respect, and those who are wanting to receive them he tries to hinder and to throw out of the congregation. Who died and made Paul the judge? Its just like him though! Anybody who don't believe everything they say they are ready to silence them in the congregation just like Paul wants to silence Diotrephes. How unloving that he says Diotrephes is 'chattering with wicked words.' Such lies and slander. Oh but Peter and Barnabas and the good ole boys can do anything they want and they just get a slap on the wrist. But because Diotrephes doesn't bow down to them whenever they enter the congregation they accuse him of being wicked and want to hush him up and get him out of the congregation. Reminds me of Caesar type mentality. Oh but let someone sleep with their father's wife and they are oh so willing to let him come back into the congregation because he is 'repentent'.

Even Jude tries to throw his weight around as someone important probably because he is the half brother of Jesus. He tried to drag out the tired old "Korah" analogy, in an attempt to suggest blind, unflinching, unquestioning obedience to the "golden calf," known as 'the way'. He said, "Too bad for them, because they have gone in the path of Cain, and have rushed into the erroneous course of Ba´laam for reward, and have perished in the rebellious talk of Ko´rah! These men are murmurers, complainers about their lot in life, proceeding according to their own desires, and their mouths speak swelling things, while they are admiring personalities for the sake of [their own] benefit."

Let's get real about this, once and for all, shall we? If anyone today fits the role of ancient Korah, Dathan and Abiram, who REALLY would that be? Does not the so called Governing Body and older men in Jerusalem sit themselves in the seat of Moses and try to speak for all the anointed brothers as if they are the only ones with holy spirit? They want to intimidate and demean and spiritually terrorize us, -- trample upon our rights and our dignity, -- by talk of "Korah-like" influences and/or behavior, ... I tell them right now they've got their finger pointed in the wrong direction. And I will not stand for it because I know the real 'way about the Way' and they are not acting in love the way Jesus said it should be.

Bottom line is I am not going to let some old men in Jerusalem tell me how to worship Jehovah and how to follow in Jesus footsteps. I have the scriptures. I can read them myself. I have the helper, the holy spirit. They think they have a monopoly on the holy spirit? They are always quoting that Ethipian Eunuch who said he couldn't understand the scriptures unless someone guided him. Of course, they have set themselves up as that guide, not Jesus. They go beyond what Jesus said. Paul even said, However, even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to YOU as good news something beyond what we declared to YOU as good news, let him be accursed. He is trying to say we are cursed if we don't listen to what they say is the good news. Well, I have Jesus telling me what is the good news and I will listen to him and his Father, not men who committ apostasy and flip flop back and forth and misinterpret prophecy and do not show love and want all the glory for themselves.

I choose Jehovah and Jesus over man and so I am leaving this God dishonoring organization who trys to say only they have the truth.

A 'true' worshiper of Jehovah

PS--Since I wrote this letter I have learned that Paul was in prison and appealed to Caesar so that he is now going to Rome. Wouldn't it be so much better if he appealed to God? Doesn't he know what Daniel prophecied about Rome being the ferocious wild beast? And now he appeals for help from the wild beast! That explains why not one time has he or any of the other writers of letters to the congregations ever talked about how God will destroy that beast after the small horn grows and tramples God's people. He and thus his organization that he is an apostle for is committing spiritual prostitution by relying on the governments to protect him. It is disgusting! I will not stand by and be a part of such filthy and deceitful hypocrisy. I am outta here.

This "letter" exposes the thought pattern of those who have left Jehovah's organization in modern times because of similar concerns.

Those today that have written such letters will have to agree with everything that is written in this hypothetical letter of disassociation, if they are to be consistent and unbiased.

To anyone reading this who has ever written such a letter, remember, it is still not too late to come back.

I think this letter is dreadful! Most people leave the organisation today because they are tiring out and feeling the effects of what was foretold by Jesus in his counsel to the 7 congregations in the book of revalation.

We love to throw this blanket of "apostasy" over people that would probably respond to a bit of love and kindness! Sites like these are making us apppear to be fanatical raving lunatics!

So with this logic, noone should have left the Catholic Church, and Charles Taze Russell learned much from the Adventists. Why didn't he stick with them? After Paul says there shouldn't be divisions. Oh, it's beacause this is different. Of course. (Matthew 7:1)

SDAs still hold on to a quite a few old dusty doctrine. Sabbath, Trinitarian views (which they actually moved towards), belief in modern prophets that can actually prophecy, abstaining from alcohol (even when Christ himself drank it), emphasis on education (not a Christian objective) just to name a few. If anything it should be able to teach true core doctrine, such as no sabbath requirement and God not being a Trinity and prophesying being done away with.

O ye of LITTLE faith. How long must I continue with YOU and put up with you! Do YOU not now realize that I am asking of YOU is FAITH and not religion. IT is very simple people...Have FAITH in me and My Father. Do not defile it by calling it a religion. Just believe in me like I said. The GOOD News is God's Power for salvation to ALL who believe! (Romans 1)
Jesus is not going to save organizations or groups of people belonging to certain religons. But he will gather individuals out of all of these God-dishonoring groups who are mislead and confused.

What caused the reformation movement in the 16th century ? Was it the frivolous ideas of individuals ? Or were they truth seekers who in their time would not compromise their conscience ?

And what has caused many to leave the Watchtower Society ? Could it be the presumptuous teachings that have caused spiritual harm ? Teachings that were presented as Truth but failed to be the Truth.

This is an answer to comment from Anonymous of 11.16 about "Good news".......

Speaking of "Good news"- was it "Good news" that led to the hysteria surrounding the false (in hindsight- it was not realised as false at the time, unfortunately) prediction that the end WOULD come by 1975?

My poor vulnerable family who sincerely believed the hype ("food at the proper time") sold our fully paid for family home- did not purchase another in their new assignment territory, and found themselves by 1977- still in "the old system" but penniless!

Not only penniless but aging as well!

The particularly unpleasant, gimlet -eyed District Overseer- rather popular at the time, in spite of his extremely unpleasant habit of speaking to Witness audiences as if they were all backward children- commented AFTER the failed year "YOU were all just over-zealous!"

This was in answer to disgruntled comments- speaking to an Assembly audience. (Closing comments- I remember it well) In Victoria, Australia

The history of the Watchtower Society is a NOT one of a "faithful and discreet person (or slave)!

The history of the Watchtower Society is one of extreme pride and presumptuousness! Coupled with an inability to admit to any mistake it makes- preferring instead to blame ANYONE ELSE for their blatant, and just plainly STUPID mistakes.

Unfortunately these negative aspects, are supported by a rank and file (Jehovah's Witnesses) who are quite prepared to cover over, "overlook" any and all of the Society's disastrous mistakes....
this is done out of mistaken and entirely misplaced loyalty to an organization -for goodness sake!

IF the Branches chose to operate brothels out of their Bethel homes.... the Witnesses would turn themselves inside out to contort truth to even accommodate this!!! (ala their support of the UN debacle) What is the difference?

Its a pity that Witnesses cannot have a sense of loyalty and worship directed at Jehovah that has the intensity and fervour of their worship of the "Faithful (?) and Discreet (?) slave!!

This organization WILL PAY for their repulsive dishonesty, and for stealing the time and lives of honest, innocent people... what goes around comes around!!!!

I think they are paying now actually- to have to take such a defensive stand on the back foot, like a possum caught in the headlights!!!!

When an organization effects people and families adversely because of it's mistaken views,printing these views and distributing them to the public.Their excuse when they fail is now the light is brighter and we understand things better.

One needs to read the original publications and the positive language used to see how difficult it would be to say the light got brighter.When you originally stated not in maybe or could be.But later to deal with a correction it is stated the light got brighter.Lives are effected in the mean time.

The members in the organization are effected and the public who are preached to become confused.

When many leave and are viewed as chaff to be blown away. Where is the Christianity in all of this.


Children are educated to admit their mistakes and learn from them.

The Watchtower Society has a way of saying the light got brighter.

There is a saying if mistakes are not fully admitted, those mistakes will be repeated again.

Look at the history of the Watchtower Society and find the answer.Then many understand why they leave.uxv

Many left the Watchtower Society after 1914 when the expectations were not realized.The build up to 1914 over a thirty year period played on the expectations no doubt of many.
What they had preached to the public
must have made them fill they had lied as it did not come true as preached.The Watchtower Society directed the preaching.

1925 also was preached similar to expectations of 1914.When this failed the public must have wondered whats going on with this organization.Many left then also. The Watchtower Society promoted 1925.

The next big buildup was 1975.It too failed.Many left.Some felt the public preaching directed by the Watchtower Society was unbalanced.
They also felt they lied to the public.

What some times is overlooked by many is this was done publicly using God's name.The Watchtower Society was responsible for this.

Can you imagine what a thinking person of the public thinking....
1914 was to be the end of the world.... {it survived }
1925 was the new date preached.....
........{ it failed to come true }.
1975......here we go again.
{ Failed to come true also }.
Many left also.

All this confusion was done in God's name.The Watchtower Society directed all of this.

If you employed someone in your business and gave them clear instructions what to do.Then you find out they started to take liberties saying you are going to do this and that by a certain date.
Now wouldn't you say hold on a minute.I gave you clear instructions what to do.

It's not hard to see the damage the Watchtower Society has done in God's name.Within the organizational expectations and also by taking liberties in what has been preached to the public.

It is not too difficult to see why some people leave.Speaking the truth is important to them.You just can't keep saying to people well the light just got brighter.They will say it was bright in 1914 wasn't it? Well yes but in 1925 it got brighter, but then 1975 was even more brighter.Is it too difficult to say, the governing body in all these years printed expectations that were wrong and have caused spiritual harm to thousands of people over these years.That is the truth of the matter.As to the effect on the public you can work that one out yourself. The greatest damage is all this has been done in God's name.They will have to answer for it.

When people follow the instructions they get it right the first time.
No man knows the day or the hour.

The Watchtower Society have published many wrong dates over the years in very positive language.
For example 6000 years from Adam's creation ended in what year?
Quoting from Studies in the Scriptures.SERIES 2.THE TIME IS AT HAND.page 242..it states..."No,they are not accidental: undoubtedly the same all-wise One who taught us through the Chronology that six thousand years from Adam's creation ended with A.D. 1872.[This is one answer.]

Quoting from Aid to Bible Understanding.page 333 it is clearly calculated to be 1975.
It states..."Total time period from Adam's creation to the present year, 1969 C.E. 5994 years."
add on 6 years we have 6000 years.

When 1975 arrived and what was expected failed to happen.It was stated by some that Eve's creation was not known.

However the Aid to Bible Understanding book shows her age to be the same as Adam's.Please refer to page 538.BIRTHS OF CHILDREN.
This shows both Adam and Eve to be 130 years old at the birth of Seth.It states..."At the age of 130 another son was born to her.Eve called his name Seth,saying:"God has appointed another seed in place of Abel, because Cain killed him."
GENESIS 5:3..gives Adam's age when Seth was born. "And Adam lived on for a hundred and thirty years.Then he became father to a son in his likeness, in his image, and called his name Seth."

This shows both Adam and Eve to be 130 years old at the birth of Seth.

So one can understand the build up to 1975 was very real in the publications of the Watchtower Society.

This is another example of Watchtower Society repeating itself.Creating a huge credibility gap. Not like the humble servant staying within the commands of the Master.

Is it any wonder why people are leaving.The Truth matters to them.

The first thing I find so funny (not ha-ha, more like sad) is that first century Christianity or Christianity at all till JW’s started claiming to be Christians there was no Organization, or Governing Body. One thing that I do find funny (this time, yes, ha-ha) is that JW’s claim that Jesus never claimed to be God. But if that were the case why did the Pharisees at every turn try and stone Jesus? What does the Bible list as the reasons for this sentence of death? Blasphemy and because He claimed to be the son of God, by this claim in their day this claim was just like saying “Because I am the Son of God, I am God”, thus making the claim to “Be God”. And after He showed Himself to Thomas after He was raised Thomas said “My Lord and my God” (actually the Greek rendering is “The Lord of me and the God of me”) and yet Jesus said nothing to Thomas about this. If Jesus wasn’t God, He should have said “Whoa up there Thomas buddy, I just wanted you to believe I was raised from the dead, you’ve stepped over the line with that whole calling me God thing!!”. But nothing mentioned about that, kind of interesting, don’t you think?
What did Jesus have against the Pharisees? What did He have to say against them? They were making up laws and making people adhere to them when in fact there was nothing in the Word of God saying people should have to do these things. Interesting, I wonder who claims to be true followers of God but does this exact same thing? Any one want hints? Men can’t have beards, people must dress a certain way to be accepted (members in good standing) in the congregation, and the list goes on and on. But yet profess to “Only do what the Bible says”. Again, I must laugh at this.
Another funny thing is they tout “We are the only ones that use Gods real name!!”, oh really? And what name would that be? Jehovah? Really, so tell me, when in history did this name make its first appearance? Well after a 1000 years after Christ walked the earth, but yet any writing after 300 years after Christ walked the earth they say (the JW’s) is full of lies and apostasies, but they take this name as being Gods true name. But claim that it is a “translation” of His name, again, really? Translated from what pray tell, to translate something, you have to have something to translate from, so please tell me, what was your starting point? Please, I am all ears on this one. I believe God is all powerful, and if God didn’t want the His name from the OT lost forever it wouldn’t be lost and we would know exactly what it was, but God not only allowed it to be lost, but IMHO made it be so, because in the NT we were given a new name to call out, any guesses as to that name? Come on, you know the one.

So, really, I do agree with the above letter, I’ll just follow Jesus and God (or should I say as God)

For reference work look at Studies in the Scriptures.THY KINGDOM COME Book Series 3. Written in 1891 By Paster Russell.Published by The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Brooklyn N.Y.

page 253....The Lord became present in October,1874.

page 341....Christ's Second Advent october 1874. Shown in The Great Pyramid of Gizeh. Egypt.

page 152....Christendom cut off =Babylon The Great Is Fallen. 1878.

page235.... Kingdom brought into force April,1878.

page 234.... All the Holy Apostles raised .1878.

page 93....1878 Start Zions Watch Tower & Herald of Christs Presence.

page 121.... 1874 to 1914 called the end or harvest.

page 153.... 1914 Babylon or Christendom will pass away.

This harvest work from 1874 to 1914 the Watchtower promoted, no doubt many individuals and families were involved believing all this as food at the proper time. When 1914 came and went without fullfilment as written by the W/T/B/& T/s many left.

If these above dates were believed today by Jehovah,s Witnesses they would be viewed as apostate.However what is the difference today or yesterday. Any teaching that does not line up to the Bible Standard is apostate.After all how did the apostacy get started in the Apostle Paul's time.Leaving the scriptural standard and promoting your ideas is apostacy.

A look into the history of the Watchtower Society is revealing.History does repeat its self.It would be reasonable to conclude the Watchtower Society has stumbled many people.

The research above is in this book published by the Watchtower Society.This being true it makes it difficult for this organization to point at others as apostate, when one examines their written record. Double standards are evident.

The Truth About God’s Name
God's Name Is Jesus!
Jesus is our Mighty God and Everlasting Father!

1John5:7 …there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

The Godhead is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, who are ONE and share the SAME NAME. The New Covenant in the Holy Bible teaches that Jesus is the name above all names. There is no name higher than Jesus. God who’s name is Jesus is not divided. There’s only ONE God who can save! Jesus is one with the Father, and God in the flesh. Read the following Bible verses for revelation of God's name. To the New Covenant believer and last days people "I AM" has now revealed Himself and His name.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Matthew 1:23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated “God with us.”

Matthew 1:21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.”

Acts 4:12 …for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Matthew 12:21 And in His name Gentiles will trust.”

Colossians 2:9 For in him (Jesus) dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

John 1:1-14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Colossians 1:15 -18 He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
God Said…

Isaiah 43:10 Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.

Hosea 13:4 …you shall know no God but Me; For there is no savior besides Me.

Hebrews 1:8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

Are You Still Confused About Who Jesus Is?
John 14:8-9 Philip said to Him (Jesus), “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

John 10:30 “...I and My Father are ONE.”

John 5:43 …I have come in My Father’s name...

John 12:44-45 “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

John 14:7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

John 8:58 (Jesus Said)...“Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
There’s Only One God And Savior…

John 8:24 (Jesus Said)“…if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
Yes…

1Timothy 3:16 God was manifested in the flesh…
Zechariah 14:9 …“ The LORD is one,” And His name one.

When you mention God, whose name do you use? Jesus is God! God's name is Jesus. Have you acknowledged Jesus to be preeminent?

Colossians 3:17 …whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

By acknowledging Jesus to be your God and Savior you will invoke the fullness of His mighty power in your life.
Even Though We Have Presented All This Scripture Proving God’s Name To Be Jesus, Still…

Luke 10:22 …no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
So We Hope That Through This Study The Holy Spirit Will Help You Attain!

Colossians 2:2-3 …all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
But Until Then We Are Going To Continue…

Titus 2:13 …looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

Romans 9:5 …who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
And To Pray For Jesus To Reveal This Mystery To You.

(Yeshua is Jesus’ correct Jewish name)

The Truth About Worship
Do You Use God's Name When You Worship Him?
Worship in any other name is not True Worship!!

Daniel 2:20 … “ Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him (who? Jesus)

Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. (who? Jesus)

Ephesians 5:17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is...

Ephesians 5:17-20 ...be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ... (who? Jesus)

John 13:31 … Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

So when we worship lets worship, praise, glorify, exalt, and lift up Jesus, the name above all names.

John 5:23 ...He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father...

1 John 2:23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either...

2 John 1:9 ...He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.

Hebrews 13:15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. (who? Jesus)

John 4:23 ...now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

Isaiah 12:4 … “ Praise the LORD, call upon His name; Declare His deeds among the peoples, Make mention that His name is exalted. (who? Jesus)

1Peter 2:9 ...proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness

Psalm 149:3 ...sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp...

Psalm 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Psalm 135:3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; Sing praises to His name, for it is pleasant.

Psalm 22:23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,

Psalm 32:11 Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Psalm 148:13 ...praise the name of the LORD, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.

Psalm 34:3 ...let us exalt His name together.

Or, do...

John 4:22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship...

Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh...

Let us not only worship with our lips but also with our lives, by...

Philippians 1:11 ...being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Those of the Old Testement did not know God's Name but we do.

See The Truth about God's Name

Why do so-called Christian Churches & Radio Stations sing song after song without once mentioning Jesus?

Do you want to see the annointing upon your worship, and in increasing measure? Then it's time we worship the name above all names - JESUS our God and Savior!

Matthew 21:16 (Jesus said) ...Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise’?

The Truth About The Church
The Church is Much More Than a Building!
The Worldly Definition of The Church is a building for public Christian worship.

But Lets See How the Bible Defines the Church

Warning to Religious Leaders Who are More Focused on Building Earthly Buildings than Building Jesus’ Building
Jeremiah 22:13 “ Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness And his chambers by injustice…

Mark 13:1 …see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!”

Mark 13:2 (Jesus Said) …“…Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

Acts 17:24 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

Acts 4:10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead…

Acts 4:11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’

1Corinthians 3:11-15 …let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss

Amos 5:11 Therefore, because you tread down the poor And take grain taxes from him, Though you have built houses of hewn stone, Yet you shall not dwell in them; You have planted pleasant vineyards, But you shall not drink wine from them.

Don’t you Know…
Psalms 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it;…

Matthew 21:13 (Jesus Said)…‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’”

Therefore…
John 2:19 (Jesus said)…“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

John 2:20 (He was)…speaking of the temple of His body.

What and How are you Building?

We who Fear Jesus are The Church…
1Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you

1Peter 2:5 …you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Therefore…
Hebrews 10:24:25 …let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

1Corinthians 12:27 …you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

1Corinthians 3:9 …you are God’s field, you are God’s building.

Also…
Revelation 1:6 (Jesus has)…made us kings and priests…

Ephesians 2:19-22 …therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Romans 12:5 …so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

Romans 12:4 …but all the members do not have the same function…

1Corinthians 12:4-11 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

Romans 12:6-8 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

But…
Romans 12:3 I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

For…
1Corinthians 12:22 …those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

1Corinthians 12:24-26 God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

Romans 12:9 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another…

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind toward one another.

Finally…
Romans 14:19 …pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.

The Church is Not a Building Made of Brick and Mortar.
Church is Not Just a One or Two Hour Meeting Each Week.
It’s Time for Each One of God’s Children to be The Church 24/7.

The Truth about False Teachers and False Prophets
Beware of False Teachers and False Prophets

False teachers and false prophets have several things in common; they’re greedy; self seeking; speak doctrines of demons; traditions of men; fail to warn people about sin; neglect to speak the whole counsel of God’s word; trust in opinions; ideas; philosophies; theologies of lies; and declare their own understanding above God’s word.

2Peter 2:1 … there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

Acts 20:30 …men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.

Jeremiah 9:3 “ … they have bent their tongues for lies. They are not valiant for the truth on the earth. For they proceed ` from evil to evil, And they do not know Me,” says the LORD.

1 John 4:5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.

1Timothy 6:5 …men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

Beware…

Matthew 24:24-25 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Titus 1:11 …there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain.

Romans 16:18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.

Jude 1:11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

Jude 1:16-18 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage. But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.

Proverbs 21:6 Getting treasures by a lying tongue Is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death.

Jeremiah 5:26-28 ‘ For among My people are found wicked men; They lie in wait as one who sets snares; They set a trap; They catch men. As a cage is full of birds, So their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have become great and grown rich. They have grown fat, they are sleek; Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked; They do not plead the cause, The cause of the fatherless; Yet they prosper, And the right of the needy they do not defend.

Ezekiel 22:13 “Behold, therefore, I beat My fists at the dishonest profit which you have made, and at the bloodshed which has been in your midst.

Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule by their own power; And My people love to have it so. But what will you do in the end?

Revelation 2:9 …I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

2Corinthians 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Philippians 3:2-3 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation! For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

1John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

There is Only One Truth and it Can be Found in the Holy Bible

2Peter 3:16-18 … in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

2Peter2:12 But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,

Proverbs 12:17 He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit.

Deuteronomy 18:20 …the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’

Jeremiah 23:32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” says the LORD, “and tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies and by their recklessness…

Proverbs 19:9 A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies shall perish.

Matthew 23:25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.

Psalms 63:11 …the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

Jeremiah 48:10 Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD deceitfully

Jeremiah 23:16 Thus says the LORD of hosts: “ Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; They speak a vision of their own heart, Not from the mouth of the LORD.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

Matthew7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

1Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.

The Truth about Judging
It is For the Righteous to Judge!

To the Un-Just, Un-Wise Hypocrite Jesus’ Word Says…
Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Romans 2:13 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

James 2:13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Scripture Teaches us to Judge Justly According to God’s Word

To the Just, Righteous, Wise Follower of Jesus…
1Corinthians 6:2-3 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

1Peter 4:17 …the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

Zechariah 8:16 …Speak each man the truth to his neighbor; Give judgment in your gates for truth, justice, and peace;

1Timothy 5:20 Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.

Proverbs 27:5 Open rebuke is better Than love carefully concealed.

Proverbs 28:23 He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward Than he who flatters with the tongue.

Proverbs 24:23-25 …It is not good to show partiality in judgment. He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” Him the people will curse; Nations will abhor him. But those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, And a good blessing will come upon them.

John 7:24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

Ezekiel 33:7-9 “So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

John 12:48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

Have we not Been Commissioned to Preach Repentance and Remission of Sin in Jesus’ Name?

I have posted these studies to hopefully help bring clarity on some of the topics you touched base on. below in perenthasie's are quotes from your blog.

"I am submissive only to Jesus and Jehovah. I do not need men telling me how to worship God."

"Why should I stay in an organization that lies and makes demon-inspired false prophecies."

"Who died and made Paul the judge?"

"I choose Jehovah and Jesus over man and so I am leaving this God dishonoring organization who trys to say only they have the truth."

I encourage you and every one who reads this blog to be careful of judging others if they themselves are guilty of the same offense, because how we judge we will also be judged.

I pray that Jesus who is God will bring clarity to all those who are His predestined and chosen. Those who where prepared beforehand and known before the foundations of the earth.

An excellent illustration. Thank you. This is precisely how apostates speak on their websites. And yet - they never have anything better to offer me, if I did choose to listen to them. Interfaith? Yeah right. Just having Jesus in my heart? Not Scriptural at all. We are the rocks who cry out in Jehovah's name. Let them defame Jehovah's organization all they want. In the end, he will be glorified for all eternity, and I for one cannot wait to see that day.

Sometimes I get truly confused . In this age of so much knowledge there are many different ways to interpret scripture. Firstly we must not use scripture to explain how we view things or how we feel about the truth.. The scriptures should b viewed and taken as the purpose as to the one speaking .im not going to draw sides as I have my own views and god knows what they are. It seems to me that in modern times the internet has gathered all kinds of people from around the globe to discuss the truth about god be it Jesus or Yahweh or Jehovah .please , all of you remember that quoting scriptures does not put anyone in a better favour in the eyes of god .
Regarding the watchtower society I find they have too many man made ideologies such as what we must wear and men can't have a beard , why would god give men facial hair if it's not right to look like a man because that's his distinguishment from a woman .
Back in Jesus day they waked from town to town and preached and provided food for those listening to the words of the Christ. Jesus could have instructed the apostles to do a quick build if he wanted to . He could have set up a place so that all could come to his church and listen to his talks and gain wisdom..why is it that quick builds occure and many people slave and work and donate there money to build such establishments and once it's built it then belongs to the watchtower society.why can't it stay in the hands of the brothers who built them .on the other hand the watchtower has brought Jehovah's name to the world and made it a household name and this is good but to prophecy wrong dates is wrong and the society will be held accountable for it's running ahead of Jehovah's council.
What can we do as followers of god , should we look at man and walk away for there is no upright man in this world.do not let anyone or anything misguide you and you end up back with satan who will vomit you out .keep your faith and look at no man for if we look to man we shall certainly stumble .
Lastly is Jesus the way or the watchtower .who knows ?life has become confusing .back in Jesus day the apostles asked Jesus many things and they still didn't understand but he never shunned anyone for his weakness. Why does the watchtower shun people when they ask questions or want answers. Why doesn't the watchtower admit there faults and get in good favour with god. Doesn't the faithful and discrete slave remember what happened to Adam and Eve when they didn't repent of there error ? They should practice what they preach and even if they are totally wrong it does not mean that we as followers should leave the organization ...why should we .our relationship is one on one with god not thru any man but we can't be indervidualists either as satan is.the watchtower is modern day Israel and if they have done wrong then god will straighten it but we must remain true to god and not let anything lead us astray .wether god Is a trinity or not what does it matter .wether Paul is right or not what does it matter.we must keep to the commandments of god and do his will and pray to him thru Jesus and keep our faith.it doesn't matter about Jesus or Jehovah or trinity. Jesus showed us the Lord's Prayer and it goes like this ..dear father who art in heaven hollowed be thy name on earth as it is in heaven and then say what is on your mind and end it in the name of Jesus as he is our mediator and leave the rest to god .unfortunately we all have little faith are we going to roam the wilderness and keep complaining silly things or are we going to b men of faith to the father the son and the Holy Spirit

Your letter just shows that the bible is full of contradictions errors and mistakes. This book is not from god. Do more research and you'll see what I mean..

Did the first century Christians also hide out and protect pedophiles?

Did they purposely mis-quote their sources such as the old testament?

Did they predict the end of the Jewish System of things?

Did they hold secret judicial meetings and shun those that were found guilty?

Did the first century apostles ever say that not obeying them is the same as not obeying God?

Did the first century Christians rely on scripture or did they have some other form of revelation like a watchtower?

Did the first century Christians heed Jesus warning of false prophets or just excuse their actions?
