WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

 

THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUTH MENTIONED IN THE HOLY BIBLE

BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

 

"I AM the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE," Jesus answers, No one comes to the Father except through me. " NWT Version

 

THE WATCHTOWER BIBLE & TRACT SOCIETY WAS FORMED BY CHARLES TAZE RUSSELL IN THE LATE 1870's.

This man had been raised a Presbyterian, living in Pennsylvania USA. But he also dabbled in the Occult. He was obsessed with the Great Pyramid. A Pyramid was built right next to his Gravesite and now the WT have just had it removed after over a 100 years. The link to how it was and photo's of its removal in August 2021.   

He was also an admitted Freemason an Occult Secret Society who are into initiation rites that are not Christian.  Yet here is a quote from a recorded speech he made early in the 1900's.

 

  

Russell died on the 31st October (Halloween Day) 1916, that started off the 'grab for power' within the Society. Joseph Rutherford (A Control Freak) as he was a Lawyer, grabbed the Society and made himself the President.  He changed many things within the Society, outlawing Christmas, Easter, Birthdays and even the Cross that Yeshua/Jesus Christ died upon (a pagan Roman execution tool) He changed the name in the 1930's to Jehovah's Witness's 

All those members who followed Russell and would not accept Rutherford's strange teachings were disfellowshipped and called 'Evil Slave'. From that time onwards the Society has acted in a very authoritarian way. Their 'Governing Body' are made up of Secret elections of various Men who are 'obedient slaves' to this very high control group.  

They do not care about the many wasted lives that from 1919 have believed everything that this false prophet has uttered, such as when Rutherford proclaimed in 1919 that 'Millions NOW living will never DIE' They later changed it to MAY never die. 

This man also claimed the 'Ancient Worthies' such as Abraham and the Men of Old, would come back to live in the Mansion he had built in California called 'Beth Sarim' in 1925 and that Armageddon would be here by then. Many sold homes and properties on that false teaching.

My own Father many years later sold our lovely Victorian house in London, England, to serve where the need was great and got us all living in a Caravan with no running water and electricity. That was in the 1950's.  Then Fred Franz another False Prophet claimed the end would come at the end of 1975. Our family lived all through that LIE. Yet still 'Indoctrinated' members, still believe their LIES. They call every one who leaves APOSTATES and yet they do not OBEY Yeshua/Jesus own words in John 3: 3-5. Or Pauls words in Philippians 2: 9-11, where everyone will Bend/Bow the knee to the Greatest name in Heaven, Earth or under the Earth. 

Watchtower LIES about witnesses never dying. This one many who maybe still in the religion remember this huge lie:

Every person on this cover of the Watchtower (Gods direction so we were told) are ALL DEAD.

 

The Lord Jesus Christ never set up a religion and especially any organised religion with huge buildings and all the pomp and paraphernalia attached to it.  He also never said that we must be attached to a particular religious group to inherit everlasting life. These religions all use mental indoctrination from a very young age. Jesus Christ told a Pharisee who met him at night-time, that he must be Born Again so that he may enter into the Kingdom of God. He never said Kingdom of Heaven, or Earth, just his Kingdom; not that he had to join a particular religion. John 3: 3-5 here is the NWT version of this Scripture....

"In response Jesus said to him: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Nic·o·deʹmus said to him: “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter into the womb of his mother a second time and be born, can he?” Jesus answered: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born from water and spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. NWT

If you were trapped in later life into a religion that demands total obedience to them and them alone and were indoctrinated with the words, "It is the Truth" there is a simple way of breaking this Lie and that is by saying these powerful words every day; "I KNOW THAT THE TRUTH IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST' God created me with HIS TRUTH, as he knew us before creation.

The Apostle Paul stated to the Romans 10: 9-10 "For if you publicly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and exercise faith in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one exercises faith for righteousness, but with the mouth one makes public declaration for salvation" NWT.  Notice Jesus said UNLESS ANYONE IS BORN AGAIN, they will not see the Kingdom of God. Notice NO mention of 'little flock', or 144,000. We cannot gain everlasting life, by earning it or serving a modern organisation or Society like the Watchtower. 

The NWT translates Jesus as Jehovah in Verse 13 , so who is it Jesus or Jehovah? Was the Apostle Paul 'double minded'? The fact is, the Greeks never used the word Jehovah. The Greek word is Kyrios which is translated into English as LORD. After the Watchtower published the NWT back in the late 50's more light was revealed regarding the Tetragrammaton, evidence was found that the Greek speaking Christian writers never used the Tetragrammaton at all. Here is a thorough explanation of this:  

From the accumulative textual and historical evidences reported in the previous chapters, we conclude that the Tetragrammaton was never used in the Greek text by the inspired Christian writers.

The name Jehovah is NOT the true God's Holy Name

Taken from this source and others 'https://claudemariottini.com/.../18/the-name-of-god-jehovah/ The name Jehovah was not known until sometime after 1278 when a Dominican monk by the name of Raymundus Martini, a Spaniard, first used it in his book Pugeo Fidei. The name Jehovah appeared in English when William Tyndale translated the book of Moses in 1530. Thus, the name Jehovah is an artificial creation that was not used until the Middle Ages. It does not reflect an accurate rendering of the divine name in the Hebrew Bible and its use should be avoided.

There is another aspect of this and one that JW's just glace over. The Apostle Paul again wrote a letter, this time to the Philippians and in chapter 2 verses 8 it reads:   

"when he came as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, yes, death on a torture stake .For this very reason, God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name, so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend—of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father". NWT

When do any JW's ever bend the knee to Jesus Christ our LORD? So why do they not worship the LORD of Heaven & Earth? Even the Apostle Thomas bowed before the Lord Jesus Christ when he saw the holes in his hand and feet. At that moment he said:  In answer Thomas said to him: My Lord and my God!” NWT 

The Watchtower do not like this verse and and many other verses and will try every way to explain that he did not mean what he actually said. The main answer to all of this, is the Lord Jesus Christ DID NOT REBUKE him for saying that he was God.  NWT errors

4 Witness UK is a non-profit Christian ministry dedicated to sharing the good news of the eternal salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ to everyone we meet. But our special focus on this site is to reach the hearts and minds of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Whether you’re currently involved as a part of the religion or you have friends or relatives involved, our website is for you! 

We are David & Christine Hall, based in the Midlands, England and were 2nd Generation Watchtower Witnesses otherwise known as Jehovah's Witnesses. We have developed this site, as the 4witness.org in the US seems to address the exJWs over there far more. we really thank Christy and her team for that. However we needed a link in the UK and we now have it. That site is full of information about many JWs who got out, that we have put testimony links to it. Many exElders, Pioneers and Publishers articles have been put on the site over a number of years, including ours. 

Our ministry is 'not a religion'. Although we totally believe in the teachings of the Bible and seek to present a Biblical, perspective on views held by Jehovah’s Witnesses, we do not endorse any specific church, denomination, or religious organization either. We are what most would call a (gospel-focused), counter-cult ministry that seeks to come alongside and support the world-wide body of Christian believers. Our Ministry is mainly focused on those living in the UK who need more local support and help to understand why they feel groaning's within their Spirit. Therefore we welcome xJW's to link with us and help tell the message of an Organisation that has damaged many Millions of genuine Father God lovers over the past Century or more. 

Our ministry associates attend various bible-believing, Christian fellowships around the UK, so we do not oversee the personal Christian walk of each person that wishes to join us as a team. We only require that those who want to link with our site, agree with our Statement of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and be active in his or her own bible believing group, church or fellowship. We require this, as we need to be united in our love to help others who are captive to the Watchtower Cult. We also need to supply each other with support and advice on how to reach the captives of this religion. David & Christine's Testimony

ABOUT THE NAME JEHOVAH

As seen above, the name is a spurious name and is not the name the Christians would accept as our Saviour.

The Watchtower Society claim that Christians MUST use the Divine name to refer to the Almighty God and hence they use the name derived by a Roman Catholic Monk who lived around the year 1279 AD, where he took the Hebrew Letters for the Divine name YHWH and inserted vowels he thought should be used and devised the name Jehovah.  This name has been since been used by Christians & Cults ever since, believing it to be the true name of Almighty God.  The name cannot be the true name as the letter 'J' does not exist in Hebrew or Greek and the name Yahweh is generally regarded as more accurate.  However Father God is not concerned about what name we use, as the very prayer Jesus/Yeshua modelled for his Disciples, opened with 'Our Father' Not Jehovah, Yahweh or any other name. 

      OR      

 

Jesus/Yeshua said in Matthew 11:28-30 

"Come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh you.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves.  For my yoke is kindly, and my load is light.” NWT 

So did he mean join the Watchtower Religion and remain in Captivity with a load of work with many Rules and Regulations?

Did he mean to forget studying for a Career and Doing meanial work to survive?  Did he say, do not take out Life Insurance as Armageddon is on the doorstep. They told us that over 60 years ago.  They are totally against young people going to College or University and even censor the Parents, if they allow them to go. (Thankfully our daughters are also out of the religion and our only Grandaughter has recently graduated with a BSc (Hons) from a UK University). 

Did he tell us to work for a Society for nothing, printing Millions of worthless books and magazines? To ALL of these questions the answer is an emphatic NO.

Back in 2003 not long after we became Born Again Christians, Christine got her first vision while we were at a Christian Convention in Croydon Surrey and "it was a vision just like a DVD playing of a dark old tower on a hill and suddenly a beaming light shined down from heaven right into the Tower and then she saw huge cracks appearing in the walls of the Tower and living stones starting to roll out of the building".  This was the Lord telling her that the Watchtower was starting to crumble and all the desirable ones who love Jesus Christ, would come tumbling out. 

 

 

         

Jesus Christ Loves You and Wants to support You and Help in Your Search For Freedom

Ex-Jehovah's Witness Support

Life After the Watchtower 

Most people living on this planet have suffered HURT and TRAUMA from different events that have occured in their lives. Some of the major causes of Hurt are Poverty, Religious/Political Control, Abandonment, Family issues, Cruel teachers, Deprivation and many other reasons. Even people born into rich families have suffered from Abuse and Unkind treatment, made to follow a path they did not want or forced into a marriage just for 'Families' sake. Often with high control religious groups there is FEAR & GUILT mixed in with the emotions of seeking Freedom from it. Many Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons and others have fears and guilt going through their minds.  Also many  feel REJECTION when they do finally escape. 

Rejection can start in childhood and often does. Husbands walk out on their Wives and Children, Wives walk out on their Husbands and Children. Children are born without a Father in their lives and so on....

All of this breeds resentment, hatred, bitterness, confusion and very often trauma

WE ALL NEED LOVE...... WE ALL WANT TO FEEL NEEDED.........SO HOW CAN WE GET THAT?

One of the biggest problems in a person's life is hanging onto “UNFORGIVENESS” that leads to the “BITTER ROOT” mentioned in the book of Hebrews. Clinging on to bitterness or grudges is probably the most dangerous spiritual thing a person can do. It often causes physical sickness. One of the major causes of blockages and bondage's in the life of Humans is that of un-forgiveness and hanging onto hurts and disappointments.  All of us have experienced things in our lives such as disagreements, criticisms, accusations against us whether they are true or false. Let's face it, we have ALL suffered at the hands of bullies and manipulators (either 'physical', or 'mind games' and 'threats') during our short lives on this planet.  

Even in these very difficult times, if we go to the Lord Jesus Christ and ask him to come in and help with our bitter roots, then he will show us the way.  It is not easy, but we all have to face these things and it is soul destroying to remain bitter.
