Why people follow the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses?
I met some Jehovah's Witnesses, and they think they are superior.To me what follows is totally false and they do not help their people, if they fall short, they flee them.They have predicted Armageddon several and once again he did not say the Bible come.The no one knows the day or religion hour.This sucks and I'm open to see an answer that lets me see things differently.
The religion of Jehovah's Witnesses is based on interpretations of the Board of Directors. " The disciples are not free to have their own views on scripture. Although I disagree with them many of their doctrines and interpretations of Scripture (and even the integrity their Bible translation is dubious at best), religion could be easily rejected based on their false claims that God gave to their elite members (the "Board"), exclusive authority that the Bible belongs to them and can not be understood without their help. I done much research on what led witnesses to believe that their administration has this power. It appears that 30 years after 1914, had succeeded, this "revelation" takes place: "Oops! Even if the world as we know, has not ended in 1914 – the way we thought it would – we have made some something else happened that year, Jesus returned invisibly in 1914 when we thought he had already been here since 1874 and to our knowledge, he has examined during 1918-1919. It was found through us and gave our organization a special permit – as the Faithful and Discreet Slave – a position that CT Russell claims to fill. We know now that we have authority over all property of God – the voice of God / chosen organization — good thing, because we've already been exercising this authority all along! Who knows?? "And this is only the tip of the iceberg! The first three things that come to mind when I think of the Watchtower Society are: 1) Exclusive (They believe that the Bible belongs to the elite members of Jehovah's Witnesses, and no one else can understand). http://cult-recovery.blogspot.com/2007/02 / agreement bible.html 2) Insulation (They teach you and your children should be cut for non-Jehovah's Witnesses, except those duties required and preaching. Disagreement w / WT teaching is not tolerated. Former members shunned.) Http: / / cult-recovery.blogspot.com / 2008/07/stern-warning-to-potential-and-current.html 3) False prophets (failure of "interpretations" of prophecy, flip-flop on doctrines, etc.) http://cult-recovery.blogspot.com/2008/10/it-is-easy-to-say-that-this- group acts.html-Source (s): Watchtower Publications and life experiences arise as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Also useful: http://www.carm.org/witnesses.htm http://www.gotquestions.org/Jehovah-Witness-Christian.html Christianity is the true religion. To find a church that teaches biblical truth: 1) It begins with prayer. Ask God to lead you to the church where the Holy Spirit is present. 2) to investigate. Confessions Google the name of churches / Online to see if there are many controversies about their lessons. (Are they often called a cult? Are they clearly have some lessons unbliblical?) Does the church have a website? Maybe you can listen to sermons online? 3) Study. Listen carefully to the passages used in a sermon. Is the emphasis on Scripture? When you get home, read these passages more in depth at certain nothing has been taken out of context. Maybe even look for comments posted on the passages, compare and contrast different opinions. 4) Have faith in God on man. If some something does not feel right then leave, even if you started to become familiar with this church. 5) Continue to do your own study the Bible, so you can grow in your relationship with God. The more you do this more clear, it will be for you when something is wrong. I can not stress this enough: It is all about seeking God and trusting Him! If you put your faith in him (and not the opinions of religious leaders), it will not let you down.
