The Watchtower Society is known for prophesying many different events which NEVER came to pass and this is one of their BIGGEST lies . . . VIDEO SAME MESSAGE

A very clear refutation of one of the many FALSE teachings of the Watchtower Society's "Jehovah's Witnesses"  VIDEO SAME MESSAGE

[Original airdate: 4/4/24] Mary chats with Brady Blevins of Watchman Fellowship, an apologetics ministry dedicated to exposing the major cults of our time. Brady serves as the senior apologist at Watchman and has a heart for sharing the true gospel with those deceived by a counterfeit Christianity.  He also teaches and serves as the assistant dean of the Graduate School of Theology and Chair for the School of Ministry at Arlington Baptist University. We discuss the basics of the Witness cult and also get an update on their annual meeting that was held in October 2023. Brady clarifies for us what a Kingdom Hall is, The Watchtower Society, what happens when people leave the cult, and many other finer points of what it means to be a JW.

Former cult members often reference the moment when they finally realized they were in a cult. In 2023 the Watchtower Society reported approximately 8.6 million members. Like many cults, Jehovah's Witnesses discourage critical thinking and members' exposure to any information that could be critical of the belief system. Such insolation from the real world is one way to keep people brainwashed. For Andre Jackson, who grew up as a Jehovah's Witness, this moment of "waking up" became the focus of his Doctoral dissertation. Andre grew up in Germany, where his mother became a Jehovah's Witness when he was 7 years old. By the age of 10, Andre accepted the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses: When he almost needed a blood transfusion (which the group teaches to be a transgression against God), he rejected it and was willing to die for his belief. Andre focused his dissertation research on the waking up process of Bethelites, Jehovah's Witnesses who live and work in the Bethel compounds. Around 0.25% of Jehovah's Witnesses, around 22,000 individuals, are Bethelites. So how do people "wake up"? Come join us in this fascinating discussion. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ron Rhodes has written an excellent book that lays out essential information for people to use when interacting with a Jehovah's Witness. Chapter 4 explains why Jesus is actually God, not a created being as taught by the Watchtower Society.

Scandal at Kingdom Hall.In 8 parts, based on the works of Bardot1990. Listen to the ► Podcast at ExplicitNovels.In response to the vision of his girlfriend Delphia’s impending late night visit, James Kittridge’s phallus ballooned into a steely arc. If he touched himself now he would bust a nut and, in so doing, waste the better part of their first embrace in his fist. James much preferred the luxuriant clasp of Delphia’s thrusting Cunt and the exhilarating shriek of their youthful conjoinment. It had taken him a while to gain the necessary cock control to satisfy her cravings. James’ religion forbade extramarital sex. Having finally bought in to the concept of fornication, however, James was an eager participant.Next door, young Delphia bade her parents goodnight and crawled into bed. Dressed in a set of flannel pajamas, Delphia looked the part of the naive, virginal teenager off to dream dreams of sugarplums and Disney fairy princesses, though she was long past such childish fantasy. The young black girl had no intention of falling asleep. Delphia’s intentions were far more prurient. She knew her parents would stay up watching TV before heading off to bed themselves. She wanted them to be confident in the security of their home and hearth. Delphia’s brothers would drift off in their own time. By three a.m. their whole home would be wrapped in the embrace of Morpheus.Like James, Delphia was an eighteen-year-old high school senior. She wore her soft, black hair parted down the middle into two thick braids. She tied these off into a larger French braid resting between her shoulder blades. Her breasts were ripe with the fullness of youth, bouncing jauntily beneath her button down pajama top. Her pajama bottoms snapped tightly about her supple waist to encumber her widening behind. One could not see the taut muscles underlying her belly, but these were obvious. Delphia moved with the grace and assurance of a jungle cat.Now, as she lay back into bed, she struggled out of her pajama bottoms and, using a flashlight, took a Bic razor and some soap to the lush curls crisscrossing her nubile pubic mound. She needed to be freshly bald down there, believing it would fire James’ attention. Carefully, she scraped her vulva clean, taking special note of her most sensitive areas. She pried her labia majora open to ensure that no hidden patches of ebony thatch escaped her purview. A small, limber woman, Delphia was fully capable of doubling over to inspect her work, indeed, she was even capable of giving her throbbing clit the odd lick. She employed that talent tonight. The scent of her freshly shaven cunt assailed her nostrils.“He gonna lick me tonight,” she observed with a note of finality. (James enjoyed fellatio but was so far unwilling to reciprocate.) “He’s gonna lick it or I’m gonna know the reason why.”Taking this cue, Delphia tongued her clit diffidently until she reached the threshold of her deepest arousal. With the familiar electrical shock came the realization that she might be able to nut before heading next door. She took a look at the clock radio beside her bed. James would be expecting her in another two hours. Unlike he, Delphia could nut repeatedly without having to rest between sessions.The young girl relaxed a bit. Doubled over like this, knees pressed against her ears, she couldn’t really enjoy the orgasmic wave that had consumed her youth since the first silky black pubic hairs appeared on her mound a decade before. Delphia closed her eyes to re-imagine her most recent sexual experience. Using her middle finger, she twiddled her clitoris alive from its perch at the apex of her slit. She was already wet. Her clit blossomed upward like a small marble. She stroked it opulently between her index finger and middle fingers as it swelled. Her arousal grew. Delphia struggled to quell groans of ecstasy. When the moment came she inserted both fingers and drifted aloft with a silent crash and a sigh. Her legs straightened. Her hips churned. Her entire body racked with spasms. Bright lights flickered wildly in her dome. After several more lingering pelvic thrusts (each more viciously strident than the one prior) Delphia passed out. She slept. Only the glowing flashlight under her blanket bore testimony to Delphia’s masturbatory fecundity.Delphia and James had been neighbors since grade school. They’d been at odds for much of that time. He threw dirt-bombs at her; she teased him about the small size of his head and sometimes called him ‘Jane'. James also came from a family of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He wouldn’t stand for the Pledge of Allegiance in school. On Saturdays he could be found knocking doors with colorful pamphlets in hand and a pre-rehearsed Bible schpiel. Young Delphia was not above mocking him for these “aberrations” from the norm.With the onset of puberty this dynamic began to change. The teasing became less personal, more friendly. Childhood enemies often make the best of friendships.Their homes were cookie cutter versions of suburbia; split level, with an upstairs, a mid-point kitchen/dining room/living room section and a spacious family room downstairs, complete with a fireplace. Four bedrooms, three baths. The downstairs in both homes also contained a guest bedroom and a utility room for the washer and the dryer. James slept in the downstairs bedroom in his home, well away from the other members of his family.The utility room in both homes had a backdoor and a set of stairs leading up to ground level. This portal was used by the teens to travel between homes. It was easy enough to open the doors from the inside and step out undetected. Delphia could leave her door unlatched and return in the same manner. Her problem would be mounting the steps back upstairs to her room. She could always claim she’d been in the kitchen.Now fast asleep, Delphia dreamt of her first sexual encounter with James just a few weeks back. It had been James’ first ever visit to a woman’s southern split. Delphia, by way of contrast, had any number of such encounters under her belt.In their case, they’d been playing “Whirlpool” in a neighbor’s above ground, circular pool. The game entailed a group of kids moving in unison around the perimeter of the pool such that a current is created; a whirlpool. The current eventually wafts the whole group along, kind of like a Lazy River. James trailed Delphia in the group. Reaching back for him under the water, Delphia repeatedly and disingenuously gripped his crotch through his swimming trunks. None of the other kids noticed. James certainly did. He jerked away from Delphia’s first few forays, embarrassed at her attentions, thinking that she was gripping his cock accidentally. She was not.Finally the moment came when Delphia gripped his erect phallus in her palm and did not let go. James allowed himself to be surreptitiously dragged along the whirlpool route by his cock. His eyes crisscrossed. He drew breath in great bolts. As a Christian, for James even masturbation was a sin. The other teenagers giggled and laughed as the current swirled them about, not noticing Delphia’s grip. James swept along in a fog of pubescent lust.And when Delphia drew him closer and pointed his erect phallus into the split in her bikini bottoms, James was on the verge of catastrophe. His baggy shorts served to partially disguise his boner, though one could see his immense erection beneath the sparkling pool waters if one had seen fit to look for it.She positioned him carefully behind her so as not to attract attention. No one would have suspected them to be so bold in such a public setting. But here they were, in a crowd of other chattering teens, mashing their pelvises together.James pressed a full inch of his cockhead into Delphia’s wettened crack before he came. She felt him surge, sway and soften. There’d been no skin-to-skin contact. James only succeeded in pressing fabric from their bathing suits into her slit, although he had felt her cunt lips widen before snapping tightly about the helm of his cock. This, more than anything, triggered his ejaculate. This, and the fact that he’d never been this close to heaven before.For her part, Delphia was amazed at his girth. Having accidentally witnessed his dangling cock some months back as he changed shorts at a basketball game, Delphia’s view of her long-time neighbor abruptly changed. No more of this “pseudo-sibling” stuff. She’d titillated and teased him since that time to just this end. Now he’d parted her labia and left his seed adrift in chlorinated pool water and the fabric of her bikini bottoms. She didn’t intend to have the next step take so long. She’d glanced over her shoulder at him that day.“I can give you the real thing, if you want,” she whispered, adding this tempting offer to the sexual maelstrom swirling in his head.That evening James attended Kingdom Hall with his family. They returned home and were asleep by 11 p.m. Three hours later James was standing outside Delphia’s second story window, tossing pebbles to awaken her. She popped up immediately.“Text me!” she mouthed silently, pointing to her phone.Ten minutes later she’d scampered up the backstairs, barefoot, and rushed into his arms. He guided her to a dark spot in his backyard behind his garage. They kissed passionately before James snatched her about, yanked her pajama bottoms down and bent her over into the same position she’d been in the pool, except now her hind parts were exposed. Frantically, he’d shoved his cock past her crop of curly pubic hair and into her cunt proper. No bikini bottoms blocked his access to her goodies this time. James fumbled about, found and penetrated her sex opening with a phallus made of granite. Ten seconds later he’d spasmed, splurted and slumped; like a newbie. Delphia felt the crawly flood of his semen trickling down her thighs with a measure of gratitude.It was about time.James held Delphia in place as he’d emptied himself. His balls expanded and contracted, balloon-like, as he pumped jism into her Cunt. When he finally extricated himself, a huge dollop of semen plopped from her behind and splashed earthward, soiling her pajama bottoms. Delphia was horrified. Her mother was sure to notice. Only now did she seem to realize her peril. Delphia gathered herself and ran home, pausing in the downstairs bathroom to scrub her pajama bottoms with hot water. She also took a hot washcloth to her Cunt. Rawdog sex has a noticeable odor.Delphia packaged her pajama bottoms away, afraid to hang them up or put them in the dryer. She planned to wash her things after her parents left for work in the morning.The young girl was not unhappy. Even though her intended had left her bereft, they’d finally done the deed ten years in the making. James would gain stamina with time, she knew. Ten seconds? She chuckled to herself. She hadn’t believed he could go that long on the first try.As she was replaying the event in her mind, her cell phone lit up. It was him.“Come back down!” he texted.She popped her head into her window. He was still down there, in the cut, a shadow among the shadows, his face lit up by the phosphorescent glow of his smart phone.Thrilled at his boldness, Delphia slipped from her bed and ran to him again, sneaking out through the utility room doorway. This time she wore no panties. She found him with a huge, unrequited boner, one of the perks of the newly initiated. Brashly, she’d lifted her leg and reached down to guide his cock into her cunt, fucking face to face as they kissed, dragging her hirsute vulva up and down the length of his shaft with the fury of her passion. When she felt him begin to tremble and quake she was nowhere near completion. She hopped off his cock, knelt, and took his phallus into her throat. It was his first blowjob.It was time to move him along into newer things.James was, again, transfixed. He’d never seen a porn movie, indeed, had no clue about the joys of fellatio save for the locker room rumors he’d overheard. As might be expected, it was not a subject fit for a Christian home. James knew from this first experience that this new thing was sure to free him from worry over the prospect of preg-Fanny.James stood before the kneeling girl, emptying his batch into her gullet. This time there was no spillage. He’d held the top of her head and her underjaw in place as he pumped a load of jizz down her throat. Delphia who, unlike James, had seen a number porn movies in her time, slurped up every drop of his semen. James staggered backward, arms flailing, almost blinded by the force of his delivery. Delphia was pleased. She suckled his cock tenderly until it softened in her mouth. When he finished erupting, she eased back from his cock. She tucked it away for him. He slumped.Now standing over him, she pushed him to his knees and offered her protruding clitoris to his tongue as if it were a cock. Shocked, James scrambled backwards. Delphia seemed to anticipate this. Maybe cunnilingus was a bit too much for the first night.She stood him aloft and kissed him deeply. Then she turned, scampered home and crawled into bed. She felt sticky and hot “down there,” but was nowhere near sated. Instead, she reached southward and began to finger herself opulently. She needed a top off.She’d been masturbating languidly for fifteen minutes when her cell phone lit up. Delphia knew it was James before picking up the phone. Ten minutes later her cunt was again filled with cock. This time James lasted a full two minutes before succumbing to yet another crippling climax. He’d wanted to enjoy Delphia’s fellatio once more before the night waned, but his cock had other ideas. Enveloped in the rapturous joy of her cunt, James couldn’t bring himself to pull out. He erupted just as Delphia was entering the tremble phase of her womanly orgasm. She had not snapped tourniquet tight about his thickness, but she was getting there.Delphia scampered home again, through the wet grass, dripping with semen. This time she finished her top off using her middle and ring fingers, imagining these to be James’ phallus. Afterward, the odor of their sex lingered on her fingertips. Delphia smiled lazily.“That was good!” she mused.All in all, that first encounter had been the most sensational sexual experience of both their young lives. Delphia harkened back to that evening now even as she prepared for another such tryst. They’d graduated from fucking in the wet backyard grass to cowgirl in the Kittridge family minivan to late night meetups in James’ downstairs bedroom. James’ parents slept directly upstairs.Things were moving along nicely.James, however, existed in a torment of indecision. He was a fornicator! Save for the term ‘apostate’, there is no more pejorative term in the Jehovah’s Witness lexicon. If anyone in his church caught wind of his extra-curricular sexual activities, he would be ex-communicated so fast! Even his family would shun him. No days passed in which James did not make a concrete determination to curtail his secretive sex life with Delphia. He planned to stop fornicating cold turkey and repent quietly without drawing attention to himself.These concrete resolutions usually lasted until the sun went down that day.Then Delphia’s cunt, like some mind altering drug, rose up to encumber him. The two of them met in all manner of locations, taking risk after risk to sate their monstrous teen sexual appetites. They even managed to have sex in their neighbor’s above ground pool at mid-day, in the midst of all their friends, without getting caught. James learned to push Delphia’s bikini bottoms to the side.Of late Delphia had been more and more insistent upon her desire for tongue. She liked having her cunt sucked. James liked getting sucked, too. He just could not bring himself to return the favor. Nor was he inclined to kiss her after ejaculating in her mouth. Try as she might, Delphia could not get him past these mystical barriers. Too, he seemed put off by her pubescent bush, almost fearful of tasting the full measure of her sexual goods. At least that’s how Delphia viewed his reticence.“What’s wrong with my cunt?” she mused. “It’s good enough for a cock, ain’t it? Besides, I’d like to see him swallow a bucket fulla cum. I bet-chu if I stop sucking his cock he’ll figure it out soon enough.”It was Thursday. James and his family spent the better part of the evening at Kingdom Hall where James gave a fifth student talk. This was a particular honor for one so young. James was a highly respected brother in his church. He was seen as an “up and comer,” soon to be on the Ministerial Servant track and then, hopefully, an elder.James stumbled up to the podium, Bible in hand. Knowing of his secret sin, he was fearful that at any moment a bolt of lightning might strike him down. He was a fornicator desecrating the House of the Lord! His conscience raged against him.James parroted a five-minute speech from one of the Watchtower Society’s publications before returning to his seat. He spent the rest of the meeting daydreaming about Delphia, pressing his Bible into his lap to hide the erection burgeoning there. His mother wondered after him. He’d been acting strangely of late.Returning home, James crawled into bed that night and began the countdown to ecstasy. His phallus had been uncomfortably hard, more or less, since his ruminations during the Kingdom Hall Service Meeting. It had been almost four days since he’d last been with his beloved. Teenaged madness was fully upon him. The two-hour wait before Delphia’s visit seemed an age. When he finally drifted off, visions of their first encounter danced in his brain. He recalled his early pre-mature capitulation that evening. James smiled to himself.“I’ve got a lot more stamina than that now.”James was just getting to the best part of his incessant “sex with Delphia” wet dreams. She was naked atop him, riding his phallus like a diminutive Kentucky Derby jockey. Black nipples fully erect, her luscious tits swung back and forth before him in conjunction with the opulent rotations of her ass. She climaxed repeatedly under the rhythmic concussions of his violent thrusting. Each time he sensed the onset of her shiver he blasted her cunt with further shrieking jets of semen. James never seemed to run short of this psychotropic effluent.James reveled in this vision. Their exhilarating sex life was the only thing oppressing his Christian conscience. He was willing to risk his whole life, his friends and his family for the chance to penetrate any of Delphia’s snapping orifices.A tap on his window brought him about. It was Delphia. She’d been waiting at the door to the utility room. James bolted from his bed to let her in.Not willing to wait for the seven-foot walk to James’ bedroom, they rushed in each other’s arms, kissing passionately as they fumbled at each other’s genitalia. Neither of them wore underwear. James was spectacularly erect. He was astounded to find Delphia’s vulva devoid of pubic hair, bald as an egg, slit dripping with yolk. He drew back to gaze admiration into her eyes. Del

Did you know there are 8.6 million dedicated members of the Watchtower Society or Jehovah's Witnesses, and supposedly, over 20 million people attend their annual big meeting (memorial attendance) worldwide? They are out on street corners, travel terminals in pairs. When I heard about a new book in Portuguese by a former elder, I wanted to learn more. António's new book, The Universe of Destructive Sects – Discover the secret world of deception, manipulation and mind control, explores the deepest secrets of the human mind and uncovers the manipulative techniques behind cults and high-control groups. António Madaleno's journey from a dedicated Jehovah's Witness elder to a vocal advocate against the Watchtower Society's control tactics is a powerful story of courage and resilience. In this week's episode of The Influence Continuum, we spoke about his transformative story and the impact of his work. Learn more about Steven Hassan and Freedom of Mind Resource Center.

In today's program, Tom welcomes Matt Ferguson, youth pastor at Calvary Chapel here in Bend, Oregon. Now, along with his guest, here's TBC executive director, Tom McMahon.Tom: Thanks, Gary. On our program today, I'll be having a conversation with Matt Ferguson, and we'll be discussing a religious cult that most people are aware of because they—well, they seem to show up at everyone's door. And some weeks ago we addressed the followers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, who take the same approach in trying to attract converts, but this week and next week we'll be talking about Jehovah's Witnesses.

Cale looks at the failed prophecies of the Watch Tower Society. Is Jehovah a proper name for God? How can Jesus be God if there are verses in the Bible that say that the Father is greater than Jesus? What is an effective way to evangelize Jehovah's Witnesses?

Knock, knock. Who's there? If a Mormon or a Jehovah's Witness comes to your door, what should you do and what should you say? As tempting as it may be, resist the urge to close the blinds and pretend you're not home or even worse, slam the door in their faces. Evangelizing someone involved in a cult may seem hopeless, but what if God wants to use you (yes YOU!) to reach them with the TRUE Gospel? What are the "Do's and Don'ts" of witnessing to members of the WatchTower Society and the so-called Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? That's what we're addressing in this week's podcast as Frank interviews Dr. Brady Blevins, Senior Apologist of Watchman Fellowship and instructor for our brand-new online course, 'Conversations with the Faiths.' During this podcast episode, Frank and Brady will answer questions like: What was Brady's first personal encounter with a Jehovah's Witness? What do JW's and Mormons believe about Jesus and why do they evangelize in pairs? What are the consequences of leaving these cults? How long does it typically take a Mormon to convert to orthodox Christianity? What single Bible verse obliterates the theology of Jehovah's Witnesses? How have false prophecies affected JW membership?   As you'll be reminded during this episode, Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are not your enemy. But if you want to be effective in reaching them, you've got to exercise patience and prepare to have ongoing conversations with their members. And what better way to prepare than by signing up for Brady's course, 'Conversations with the Faiths'? Class starts on Monday, 2/5 so enroll NOW and stay tuned for the upcoming midweek podcast where Brady will lay out the game plan for evangelizing Muslims too!

The Jehovah's Witnesses are possibly the superior filmmakers of all the Christian denominations. Although much of their process is shrouded in secrecy since they never provide production information, there is clearly a sophisticated filmmaking operation in place at the Watch Tower Society, with professional-grade actors, writers, and technicians putting their talents together to reinforce the message of Jehovah. We've previously covered JW features such as REMEMBER THE WIFE OF LOT, THE PRODIGAL RETURNS and THESE WORDS . . . MUST BE ON YOUR HEART. All of these films are modern-day retellings of Bible stories, all are competently directed with passionate performances from anonymous actors, and all emphasize relatively extreme, austere, and literal interpretations of the Bible compared to other sects. This week's film HOPE FOR WHAT WE DO NOT SEE is based on the story of Job. Similar to Job, protagonist Ethan Bannister's life sucks. Despite being a model Jehovah's Witness, Ethan seems punished in life. He loses his reliable job at the factory, he's diagnosed with cancer, and then (in the ultimate Christian movie event) he loses both his father AND his youngest son in a car accident. Why would Jehovah test His faithful servant like this? In HOPE FOR WHAT WE DO NOT SEE, we learn that Jehovah isn't the cause of our suffering, but instead our refuge in times of difficulty. We also appreciate the subtle nods in the script to some of our favorite Jehovah's Witness quirks — no blood transfusions, no dating until adulthood, and absolutely NO working overtime at your job.

2 John 1:7-13Rev. Erik Veerman5/7/2023The Truth about DeceptionOur sermon text this morning is 2 John verses 7-13. You can find that on page 1214 In the church Bibles.Last week we considered the first half of this short letter. Even though it's written to the elect Lady, we discussed how John was likely writing to a specific church. Given the letter's emphasis and language, that understanding makes sense.John opens the letter with a warm salutation. It's very focused on truth and love. And it turns out that truth and love are the main themes of the first half. He calls on them to walk in truth and love. Not just truth, alone, and not just love, alone, but both truth and love. God's truth and agape love, which comes from God's unconditional covenant love for his people.And that brings us to verse 7… where John makes a shift to now address a specific situation. False teachers, whom he calls deceivers, had been traveling around spreading false beliefs about Jesus. In these verses, he gives this church guidance about their teaching and what they should do about it.Let's now come to God's Word.StandReading of 2 John 7-13.PrayerA few years ago, a famous Vermeer painting was on display at the High Museum of Art. So, we went to see it. It's named The Girl with a Pearl Earing. It's probably Johannes Vermeer's most famous painting. He painted it in 1665. It's worth something like $100 million dollars. One of the reasons is that there are only 36 known Vermeer paintings in the world.In fact, back in 1937, a new painting was found. They named it Supper at Emmaus. Art critics were amazed. One well known famous expert called it “the masterpiece of Johannes Vermeer.” A famous art society purchased it for a very large sum of money – millions in today's dollars.The interesting thing is that over the next few years, 5 more Vermeer paintings were found. And all of them found by the same person. Han van Meegeren. But it all came crashing down. Van Meegeren had sold one of the paintings to a high-ranking Nazi official. Because of that, the Dutch government arrested him. At which point he confessed that that they were all forgeries. Van Meegeren had duped all the art experts. The paint was authentic to the period. He had perfected the style. He slightly baked the paintings in an oven and rolled them on a roller to make the paintings appear old with cracks.It's known as one the greatest art forgeries in history. In a word, Van Meegeren was a deceiver. The thing is, the paintings looked so real. People swore that they were authentic. When you compared the brush strokes, the colors, the style, the lighting and shadows on the painted faces, the background, and the paper, it all looked authentic, but it was a great deception.And that is the warning that the apostle John is giving this church. There were teachers who claimed to be Christians. They sounded good, looked good, and had an aura of authenticity. In fact, many of the words they spoke were probably true. But in the end, they were merely deceivers peddling false teaching…. Or to use John's words, their “wicked works.” verse 11.And I would say, this is still very relevant to us today. Every generation, false teachers arise who claim to be teaching truths about Jesus or the Bible or Christianity, yet the heart of their teaching is a false Gospel.These verses answer two questions for us:1. How do we determine when someone's teaching is true or false? And just to be sure, John is not talking about secondary matters. No, John is referring to essential matters. How do we evaluate when someone's teaching undermines the heart of Christianity? That's the first question.2. The second question is, how should we relate to these false teachers? You see, John doesn't just give them a warning about false teaching, but he also gives them clear guidance. So, what should they do? That's the second question these verses answer.To give us some organization this morning, we'll take those questions in that order. First, how do we identify false teaching? And second, how should we deal with false teachers?Identifying False TeachingThe reason John had just emphasized walking in truth and love is because these teachers were not walking in truth and love. They claimed to be a part of the church, but their teaching contradicted their claim.So, how should we determine whether someone's teaching strikes at the heart of Christianity? That's what we are talking about: a perversion of the central truths of Christianity. Beliefs that invalidate the teaching and the teacher. Notice the words that John uses to describe them at the end of verse 7. They are deceivers and antichrists. In fact, those words are not plural. He writes, “such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.” He's basically calling them the devil. He's not saying there's just one deceiver, he's already said there are many. Rather, their deception originates from the great enemy of the faith. They are each the anti-Christ. He could not use a stronger word to describe them.That word, in fact summarizes their false teaching: anti-Christ. Opposed to Christ. Their teaching undermines the Christian faith – Christ himself. This is the main problem with their teaching.Look down at verse 7. It says, “many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh.” Right there, he hones in on exactly the problem. These teachers do not confess that Jesus is the Christ. In other words, they do not believe that the man Jesus is the promised Messiah. Oh, they believed in Jesus, the man. They believed he was a good teacher. After all, they identified themselves as part of the church. But they did not believe in Jesus' deity.We talked a little bit about this in 1 John. At the time, Gnosticism was on the rise. That was a human philosophy that focused on higher spirituality. To a gnostic, all matter was evil, which included our bodies. For that reason, they did not believe that Jesus was the Christ in the flesh. How could God become something evil – flesh and blood. That was their line of thinking. Therefore, they rejected Jesus as the promised Messiah. They rejected the incarnation, God becoming flesh. They did not believe that Jesus was the son of God in the flesh.Let's go back up to verse 3. In the salutation, John gave a preview of this central issue. Notice in that verse 3 blessing, he emphasizes that Jesus is the Christ and that he is God the Father's Son. That's very intentional because the truth and love of God centers around Jesus as the Son of God - God in the flesh. If you take that part away, you strip the Gospel of its power. In other words, redemption from sin requires Jesus' fullness as God. In order for the death of Jesus on the cross to be effective as a payment for sin, Jesus needed to be fully and truly God. He also needed to be fully and truly man. Being the mediator between God and man for our sin requires a God man. Able to atone for us as a perfectly righteous man, and able pay the depth of the penalty for sin, as God himself. That is the heart of the Gospel.Notice in verse 9… that is the teaching of Christ himself. It says, “Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God.” Jesus himself testified over and over that he was God's son, in the flesh. He demonstrated that. It's why the religious leaders hated him. Jesus claimed to be God, claimed to be the Christ. Therefore, to them, he was a blasphemer and deserved death.Let me put it this way, when someone claims to be teaching the truth of God, but denies or twists an essential element of the Gospel, that teaching is not just false in that one area, rather the whole Gospel is undermined.Let's set aside forged paintings. Let me give you a real example.You've probably never heard of Charles Taze Russell. He grew up in the 1850s and 60s in a Presbyterian church in Pennsylvania. As a teenager, he was described as loving the Bible. When he was 18, he started a Bible study with his father. But soon thereafter, Charles Russell began questioning central tenants of the Christian faith, including questioning the validity of the Trinity – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He still considered himself to be a Christian, but he denied that the Holy Spirit was God and he denied that Jesus was God in human flesh. To be sure, he believed in Jesus the man – a special created man, at that, just not Jesus' divine nature. Russel began teaching these things. He also started a magazine and an association called The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Maybe you've heard of that. These false teachings began to spread rapidly. By the 1880s, 16 million copies of his literature had been published. He became very well known all throughout the eastern and northeastern United States. The movement grew. Even after Russell's death, his disciples and other false teachers continued on. In 1931, The Watchtower Society was renamed the Jehovah's Witnesses. It continues today with about 8 million adherents. They have a presence in Tucker.The teachings of the Jehovah's Witnesses are the modern-day parallel to the deceivers in John's day. They claim to have the truth, but they do not believe that Jesus is the incarnate eternal Son of God. Rather, they believe Jesus is a created being with special powers given but not the eternal God. For that reason, as John puts it, “they do not have God.” They are deceivers. Their works are wicked. That is strong language! That's because it is anti-Christ, as John says. The apostle Paul said it this way in Galatians 1, “if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.” He repeated that twice in Galatians 1.The Jehovah's Witnesses are just one example today. How can these deceivers be identified? The answer is if any part of their teaching undermines the person or work of Christ. • That would include denying either Jesus as truly God or truly man. • A false teacher would also include anyone who denies the need for the atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross• …or who denies the bodily resurrection of Jesus • …or who denies that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.• it would also include any kind of denial of the Trinity.Any one of those denials, just one, would go against the teaching of Jesus himself and the apostles as recorded in the Scriptures.And what does the apostle John warn? He writes, “watch yourselves,” verse 8, “so that you may not lose what we have worked for.” They were in a fragile time. The church was in the first few decades of growth. John was the last living disciple of Jesus. And the New Testament was not yet available. In other words, this antichrist teaching threatened to unravel the work which had begun. That is what John is referring to. These false teachers, often unknowingly, were being used by the devil to attack the church. Besides the content of their teaching being heresy, it threatened the unity and spread of the church, which they had worked for.So, this was a matter of utmost importance. In summary: These teachers were denying core beliefs about Jesus and true faith in him, and they therefore threatened the church.Dealing with False TeachersAnd the natural next question is this: what should they do about it?That is the second question this morning. How should they, how should we, deal with these false teachers?Well, John answers that. But before considering what he says, a little context would be helpful. In that time, it was very common for pastors to travel around to different congregations in their region. Small churches didn't have the means to have full-time pastors. These churches were scattered around in villages and towns. Remember, this was before the New Testament was complete. They had some New Testament letters and Gospel accounts but it was limited. At that time, the teaching of Jesus and the apostles was passed down orally. Apostles like John, Peter, and Paul taught their disciples, who would then teach the people. In other words, there were more congregations than there were trained pastors and elders. So, they shared. It was a common thing for a teacher to come into town. The church was expected to greet them and provide for their needs.And by the way, that happens today all over the world. Especially in rural settings. In fact, the seminary that I went to, RTS, has a campus in Jackson, Mississippi. Jackson is a decent size town, but when you get outside the city, it becomes very rural very fast. It's not like Atlanta. And one of the ways that the seminary supports the smaller churches in the area is to send their divinity students to preach. It both helps the small churches and gives the students experience.So, there's nothing wrong with the idea of preachers or teachers travelling around. The issue was the content of their teaching.That background helps us understand verse 10. It says, “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting.” They should not be supporting these travelling false teachers. The word “house” could either be hosting them (not giving them a place to stay), or it could be referring to the houses where they worshipped. Whatever the case, the church was not to accommodate them. Don't help them. Don't even greet them with the customary greeting as a brother. Doing either would be supporting their deception. Instead, they were to make a very clear statement that these teachers were not teaching the truth about Jesus nor his Gospel.Now, maybe you're thinking, “ok, but how is that loving? After all, John just said to walk in truth and love. But now he's telling them to not do loving things!” That's a legitimate question. I think the answer is, it would be unloving to receive them. By doing so would cause confusion among the believers. Remember, these were false teachers travelling around. He's not talking about your regular person on the street who is not a Christian, or who may have beliefs contrary to true faith. For them, the call would be to sit down and teach the truth of the Gospel… to reveal Jesus in the fulness of who he is and in the Gospel of grace.But for the teachers, they were propagating false beliefs. In the book of James, chapter 3, it says, “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.” That is a humbling and dauting reality for any teacher of God's Word and truth.Perhaps the Holy Spirit would use the rejection to shake them. To reveal to them their wicked words that they may come to know the true truth of Christ. But the main purpose in rejecting these deceivers is to protect and love the church and clearly call out their deception.What would that look like today?Well, here's one example. Maybe you've seen the two Jehovah's Witnesses women who are often on Main Street. They are there a couple of times per month. Sometimes right outside our office. If I were to invite them in and let them use our office as a base of operations, that would be a problem. In other words, if we support them in any way, we are participating in their false teaching. Now, that's different than wanting to talk to them and open up God's Word and share the truth in a loving way.Another example would be platforming false teachers. That could be inviting a false teacher to teach or preach. It could be endorsing them, or encouraging people to read their books or listen to their podcasts and sermons. We should not do those things. Instead, we should give clear guidance on what is faithful and true versus unfaithful and false.In fact, over the last few months, our youth group has been studying just that. They've been guided through false teaching in the broader American church. That has included a comparison and a contrast of faithful Biblical teaching verses teaching that has gravely strayed from the truth. The thing is, to go back where we started, false teaching can look and sound authentic. It can be packaged in the latest cultural words and ideas that may come across as winsome and relevant and good, but which merely lead people astray.Do not receive them or greet them or platform them. Call out their wicked works.ConclusionBeloved, instead, “abide in the teaching of Christ,” end of verse 9. Believe in Jesus as the “Son of the Father,” verse 3. Confess that “Jesus Christ has come in the flesh,” verse 7.Why?• Because as the author of Hebrews put it, “He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.”• As we learn in Colossians 1, “For…all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.” And then it says this: “For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell.”• As John writes in his Gospel. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” And “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us”• As Jesus himself declared, “I and the Father are one.”• As the Angel declared in Luke 1 at Jesus birth, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord”• As the Lord himself revealed in Revelation 1 “I am the Alpha and the Omega… who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”• Really, all of the book of Revelation declares that Jesus is reigning as Lord. Seated on the throne. The heavenly hosts declared day and night, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” He is the great victor. The multitude rejoiced over the lamb who was slain but who is now reigning. They sang, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.” On his heavenly robe and thigh, written “King of kings and Lord of Lords”This is who we worship! Christ Jesus, the eternal God who has come to us in the flesh. As the apostle Paul writes in 1 Tim 2, “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” He is our hope, our mediator, he has accomplished in his death as God and man, redemption.Beloved, May we lay hold of the precious truth of our Savior. May we reject anything that maligns him or twists the truth about him or his Gospel. Instead, may we believe and confess him in truth and love. Amen

The Jehovah's Witnesses have millions of members and are well-known for their door-to-door solicitation and distribution of materials, such as their Watchtower and Awake! magazines. However, most people do not realize the authoritarian BITE Model policies that affect their believers. Former elder Isaac Carmignani, a friend and colleague, shares the critically important facts about the Jehovah's Witnesses. Did you know they have prophesied at least 4 times that Armageddon would occur in a particular year? Or that Bible scholars say their version is wrong? Or that they practice corporal punishment? Prohibit blood transfusions? Shun former members? Or that they have had a huge pedophile problem for many decades? They are very nice, hard-working people, but involvement in this group has caused much suffering and harm worldwide. Learn more about Steven Hassan and Freedom of Mind Resource Center.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses leave the Watchtower Society? Many ex-Jehovah's Witnesses are disfellowshipped. They can also experience guilt and anger after they leave. Why do they need hope that is only possible when we know the Christ of the Bible, ... More The post An Ex-Jehovah's Witness Shares Her Faith Journey appeared first on Family Shield Ministries.

Cale looks at the failed prophecies of the Watch Tower Society. Is Jehovah a proper name for God? How can Jesus be God if there are verses in the Bible that say that the Father is greater than Jesus? What is an effective way to evangelize Jehovah's Witnesses?

In the first of two programmes Justin Brierley talks to Jehovah's Witness Robert King (aka e-watchman) and former JW Tony Brown. Robert is disfellowshipped but still holds to Jehovah's Witness doctrine.  He does not speak in any offical capacity for the Watchtower Society. Tony Brown is now a Christian pastor with a ministry to Jehovah's Witnesses, he describes how he joined and left the organisation. They discuss the failed end-time prophecies of the organisation, their controversial blood doctrines and the belief in the 144,000 in heaven. Next week they tackle why JWs reject the deity of Christ. • More shows, free eBook & newsletter: https://premierunbelievable.com • For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live • For online learning: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/training-and-events • Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow • Support us in the rest of the world: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate

Supreme Court rulings. Jehovah's Witnesses. Since the 1940s, the Jehovah's Witnesses have often invoked the First Amendment's freedom of religion clauses to protect their ability to engage in the proselytizing (or preaching) that is central to their faith. This series of litigation has helped to define civil liberties case law in the United States and Canada. In the United States of America and several other countries, the legal struggles of the Jehovah's Witnesses have yielded some of the most important judicial decisions regarding freedom of religion, press and speech. In the United States, many Supreme Court cases involving Jehovah's Witnesses are now landmark decisions of First Amendment law. Of the 72 cases involving the Jehovah's Witnesses that have been brought before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Court has ruled in favor of them 47 times. Even the cases that the Jehovah's Witnesses lost helped the U.S. to more clearly define the limits of First Amendment rights. Former Supreme Court Justice Harlan Stone jokingly suggested "The Jehovah's Witnesses ought to have an endowment in view of the aid which they give in solving the legal problems of civil liberties." "Like it or not," observed American author and editor Irving Dilliard, "Jehovah's Witnesses have done more to help preserve our freedoms than any other religious group." Professor C S Braden wrote: "They have performed a signal service to democracy by their fight to preserve their civil rights, for in their struggle they have done much to secure those rights for every minority group in America." "The cases that the Witnesses were involved in formed the bedrock of 1st Amendment protections for all citizens," said Paul Polidoro, a lawyer who argued the Watchtower Society's case before the Supreme Court in February 2002. "These cases were a good vehicle for the courts to address the protections that were to be accorded free speech, the free press and free exercise of religion. In addition, the cases marked the emergence of individual rights as an issue within the U.S. court system. Before the Jehovah's Witnesses brought several dozen cases before the U.S. Supreme Court during the 1930s and 1940s, the Court had handled few cases contesting laws that restricted freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Until then, the First Amendment had only been applied to Congress and the federal government. However, the cases brought before the Court by the Jehovah's Witnesses allowed the Court to consider a range of issues: mandatory flag salute, sedition, free speech, literature distribution and military draft law. These cases proved to be pivotal moments in the formation of constitutional law. Jehovah's Witnesses' court victories have strengthened rights including the protection of religious conduct from federal and state interference, the right to abstain from patriotic rituals and military service and the right to engage in public discourse. During the World War II era, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jehovah's Witnesses in several landmark cases that helped pave the way for the modern civil rights movement. In all, Jehovah's Witnesses brought 23 separate First Amendment actions before the U.S. Supreme Court between 1938 and 1946.

As a disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witness I have had thoughts of suicide and have suffered with extreme loneliness.Disfellowshipping someone after a dramatic life event and shunning them from their family and friends in a time of need is a common practice in the Jehovah's Witness faith. I believe this is a contributing factor as to why so many people die from suicide after disassociating themselves, getting disfellowshipped or have not been able to live up to the high standards that Jehovah's Witnesses are expected to do.The detrimental effects of suicide on family members are normally not discussed. Instead, many focus on the person who died and what got them to the point of suicide. No one, or no organisation is held accountable for what drove a person to do such a thing.My sister and I were brought up as Jehovah's Witnesses; I was baptised, from memory my sister was an unbaptised publisher. My solo mum, who still loves the religion more than me, will undoubtably continue her Jehovah's Witness path until she dies. She loves Jehovah with ALL her might.One day, two Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on her door, they left a watchtower publication, which she took out of politeness. The next week when she saw them coming up the drive, she had a cunning plan where she thought she would crouch down so they couldn't see her. However, they caught her through the window, so she had to open the door and said she had a bad back, she couldn't stand up and couldn't talk at the moment! The persistence of the two Jehovah's Witnesses who initially knocked on our door managed to strike up a Bible study with her and the rest was history. This was something our family thought was quite humorous for years.My mum was in a terrible state; her ex-husband was an alcoholic, he left us when I was 2 1/2 years of age. While we never went without, there was no doubt we were poor and mum was struggling. When a group of people showed love and compassion and gave my mother a community, she certainly jumped at the chance to become part of the world wide brotherhood.I hope you can empathise with me as this is truly one of the most personal experiences to publicly post on my BLOG, broadcast on the WHAT: DE HEK PODCAST and stream on my YOUTUBE channel ‘but what the Hek'.Continue to read... https://www.dehek.com/general/health-wellness/escaping-suicide-and-shunning-by-the-jehovahs-witness-cult/P.S.

The True Witness of Revelation The Rising of the Son by Billy CurtisThe Book of Revelation (also called the Apocalypse of John, Revelation to John or Revelation from Jesus Christ) is the final book of the New Testament, and consequently is also the final book of the Christian Bible. Its title is derived from the first word of the Koine Greek text: apokalypsis, meaning “unveiling” or “revelation.” The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic book in the New Testament canon. Thus, it occupies a central place in Christian eschatology.About the AuthorI'm from Memphis, Tennessee. I was born into a poor, bad family, an award to the state at age nine. Not many things that can happen to me have not. I grew up in foster and group homes. For all intents and purposes, an unimportant white trash product of society. I had emotional issues most of my life. Only in finding the Lord have I found purpose and integrity, in the navy for four years, then became a welfare momma victim, a father of two and grandfather of one. No past family, no relations with my children, and no wife. I live alone with one dog, Ashley, a min pin-chihuahua mix. I married a girl from Ohio, a princess of society. So once married, I joined the Jehovah's Witnesses in 2008. Due to conduct, I realized that something wasn't right. I then became awake. I am disabled and all but homebound, spent the last four years online conducting the great commission and spiritual warfare, one of the world's only experts. As for work, I have done carpentry, ironwork, otr truck driving, and factory work. It is my work of twelve years that led me to life's road. If at all possible, I would like to place you on this same hope. My intention is to help establish God's kingdom on earth, provide for all true servants right up to the day of Armageddon, find a true wife, and live away from it all. I intend to use the royalties to finish my hedge, then sign it all away, all things being in common as the first-century bros did. Maybe grow a garden. Destroy the Watch Tower Society forever, the Vatican mother. See the joy on the faces of those who from this work WILL find the Lord.https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-true-witness-of-revelation-the-rising-of-the-son-billy-curtis/1139475115?ean=9781955691550https://www.billcur.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/11322inf.mp3   Enoch-Satans war dogma against Christ by Billy CurtisBlessed are the eyes that read and are allowed by Yahweh God to be unveiled. This is a mandatory two-book series for all groups of mankind. This is the one and only true gospel suppressed to your injury. It was intended to be a three-book series. However, circumstances dictated it be two. Every scrap of dogma within is 100 percent correct without exception. No man can correct, only accept or reject it. Whether Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Jew, atheist, Satanist, alternative lifestyle, military, demon, hybrid, or anything else, there are reasons for each of you to know as your lives depend upon it. You have the right to make fully informed decisions with your free will, also to change your minds at any time and the truth be there awaiting you. What is coming is the worst time in human history. Satan is required to give warning and now invoke that rule. Matthew 24:14 must be fulfilled before the end can come. “This” gospel (Gal. 1:8). We are on God's time and no other. I have served you free for twelve years. I intend to take only what I need and use the rest to help humanity survive, being unable to buy or sell. Active true servants only. Also nature. Those who run this world want a one-world government. I am all for it—God's kingdom. This is a leap of faith to that end, to charter a nonprofit and nation. Once I've recovered and set my hedge, I will be providing full transparency to all brothers worldwide, keep a 10 percent priest's amount only if I even do that. Other than a possible accidental rewriting first-column citations, this two-book series fully destroys all of Babylon the great. People would rather sin than be part of a fallacy (not misspelled), which insults their intelligence and conscience. Not on my watch. The famine must end now. No matter who or what you are, I love you all without exception. Sex out of wedlock is no better than any other kind of fornication. Morality is not a sliding scale, nor is it code or Babylonian law. I was allowed to father Revelation 9:7–11. A half-dozen prophesies are attached to my work directly. I need bros of all professions and backgrounds to join with me in anticipation—men of action, sisters with courage, Muslims with Christians. Every soul that knows this truth must preach it verbatim. You can watch your planet die by the hands of criminals or save who you can. There is only one cause—the great commission (Matt. 28:19, 20). Only us who carry our torture stake will inherit this kingdom. This will be the worst and greatest generation of all time (Prov. 27:11). Be wise, my son, make my heart rejoice.https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/enoch-satans-war-dogma-against-christ-billy-curtis/1138406150https://www.billcur.com/

In this continuing study I take a look at the Rapture Doctrine. Is this a Pre-Trib, as taught in most mainstream Churches are do Christians go through the Tribulation Period? I compare Thessalonians to Matthew 24 along with Revelation. I venture into Paul's writings to explore what he has to say, along with what Yahweh says in Ezekiel. In this Part 22 I continue in the Book of Ezekiel (EL Strengthens) Chapter 13 verse 20. Now keep in mind what we have learned in this Ezekiel that Yahweh is talking about your soul! Some of the false prophecies of our time: The 'Great Disappointment' – October 22, 1844 William Miller; Watchtower Society – 1925 Jehovah Witnesses; World Bible Society – September 11-13, 1988 Edgar Whisenant; Harold Camping – 1994; David Meade – October 15, 2017; Tim Lahey – left Behind; Hal Lindsey; TBN Ministries; Tommy Ice  A HEBREW WORD YOU MUST KNOW ITS MEANING! While using a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance (not a YOUNG'S) in conjunction with a King James or American Standard Version, or English Revised Version of the Bible (and several others) where the word 'PILLOWS" has not been changed.  Yahweh said: "Don't Teach My People to Fly to Save Their Souls. It can't get much simpler than that!  When looking at two key words used in the original manuscripts, it becomes quite evident that Yahweh is not happy with those who teach His children to fly-away to save their souls.  Please, understand what's being said, when using a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance... and correctly interpret the Hebrew word 'PILLOWS' because this is a life and death situation!  THIS IS KEY, therefore don't miss the correct definition as found in: Ezekiel 13:20-Wherefore thus saith Adonai Yahweh; Behold, I am against your*pillows*(KEY-WORD) it's true meaning is: (Prophetesses) wherewith ye that hunt the soul to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.  The word “pillows,” is found in the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance address: (St. H3704) it is the Hebrew word 'Keceth' pronounced 'ket-seth' and it literally means:{FALSE PROPHETESSES} (check this out for yourself using a Strong's). The word ‘hunt' (IS ANOTHER KEY WORD) it's the Hebrew word 'tsuwd' pronounced 'tsus'...  it literally means: to hunt eagerly or keenly, but from its prime root, as found (Strong's address, (ST# H6678) it means "to lie in wait; or to catch men." "a premeditated action". This doesn't sound like something Yahweh needs to do, or would do...or wants to do, or would have to do... this sounds like Satan's MO! This sounds like to 'lie in wait and do murder'!Keep in mind that all this has to do with the re-building of the 3rd Temple, in which Donald Trump is a key player in this rebuilding, who was put in power by the Global Elite, the New World Order, the Rothchilds Banking System. Note that the Rothschilds paid off Donald Trumps debts. His son in law and daughter are part of the cabbala elite!This could be part of the plan of “the mystery of iniquity”. Don't end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.'But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.'Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

Cale looks at the failed prophecies of the Watch Tower Society. Is Jehovah a proper name for God? How can Jesus be God if there are verses in the Bible that say that the Father is greater than Jesus? What is an effective way to evangelize Jehovah's Witnesses?

P.I.M.O. (Physically in, mentally out.) It's a phrase not many outside of the JW organization know but is one that within the Jehovah's Witness community many secretly identify with. Including Geoffrey Wallis. Geoffrey is an active Jehovah's Witness who uses his unique position as a critical insider to provide commentary on the social psychology of the organization and raise awareness of how coercion in the group leads to Religious Trauma Syndrome in disillusioned members. As Wallis puts it in A Voice From Inside, he was “heavily involved in both attending and instructing specialized schools and training programs sponsored by the Watch Tower Society”. Upon disillusionment, he suffered some of the worst symptoms of Religious Trauma PTSD including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and suicidal ideation. Now in full recovery, Wallis puts his family and community relationships in jeopardy to bring awareness to those suffering from Religious Trauma and the challenges of Physically-In-Mentally-Out (PIMO) Jehovah's Witnesses who feel trapped by the captive policies of the organization. On part 1 of our conversation with Geoffrey we dive deep into the doctrinal beliefs of JW's, the history of the organization, JW's beliefs on shunning, Geoffrey's new book and why he, though still an elder, has decided to stay after "waking up".

For Daniel Clark, a family man and devout member of the Watchtower Society and bringer of "The Good News" - life had lost all meaning. Disillusioned with church teachings, he decided to leave the faith, but had to find the strength to throw off the teachings programmed into him since birth and rebuild his life. In a harrowing account of growing up as a Witness in a filthy, flea-infested house, visiting his mother in a hellish mental institution, and his raw and painful path into the disabling addictions that hid his pain, Daniel shares his journey of escape and ultimate victory from an abusive childhood and the religion that held him and his entire family prisoner. - www.lifeafterreligion.com

What is it like to suffer Religious Trauma Syndrome while still inside a High Demand Religious Group? What causes Religious Trauma Syndrome and what are the risks that come with continuing participation? A Voice From Inside presents the rare voice of a critical insider of the Watch Tower Society, offering an account of the experience, how people are struggling, and what can be done to survive and move forward.Writing under a pseudonym, Geoffrey Wallis courageously explains what has led many to label the Jehovah's Witnesses as a Captive Organization and how the community's policies like lead to the phenomenon of Physically-In-Mentally-Out (PIMO). Written to help bring change to the Jehovah's Witness community as a whole, but also for anyone struggling with religious trauma, A Voice from Inside is both a witness to the experience of living in a closed religious group as well as a clarion call for change and healing in a world that sorely needs it. 

This episode is all about the failed predictions of the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower Society. We discuss 1914, 1925, 1975, and all the other years the world was supposed to end. We discuss why people buy into these predictions, why it gets new followers, and how they justify their predictions after the fact. As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

Many years ago the cults were on the outer fringes of society. Today they are next door to us. Some of them may be members of what's known as the Watchtower Society, an organization that believes they are God's visible representative on earth and should be obeyed as the very voice of God. Beginning with their history and founder Charles Taze Russell, Ron explains why they have a different Jesus and a different gospel and unfortunately because of this deception, they are headed into a Christ-less eternity.

In this eposide I interview two lawyers experienced in bringing civil cases against organisations who are vicariously liable for sexual abuse suffered by children. One of only three law firms in the country who have worked on behalf of victims of Jehovahs Witness child sexual abusers, Hugh James is a law firm with offices in London and Cardiff. Alan Collins and Samuel Barker have thoroughly researched the issues of Watchtower Society and understand the unique factors that make it hard for former members of Jehovah's Witnesses to disclose their abuse. They explain how Watchtower can be held liable in court for the child sexual abuse, and why bringing a civil case against the organisation is just as important as bringing a criminal case against the abuser. If you wish to talk to Alan or Samuel about a possible case they will travel to you, or meet you wherever you feel most able to talk comfortably.

An unfamiliar car parks near your house and two nice-looking people approach your front door. Your doorbell rings and after exchanging some pleasantries your unexpected guests offer you literature from the Watchtower Society. What will you say? What should you say?

An interview with the other fascinating and formidable activist you have never heard of. Lara and I speak to the creator of the website Avoid JW, which Watchtower Society haspent considerable time, effort and money on trying to eradicate from the internet.

An interview with a very special guest who was there when 1975 didn't happen and can explain how Watchtower Society did in fact ramp up the expectation among the rank and file Jehovah's Witnesses, despite them now denying this fact. He also discusses what happened in 1976 and how witnesses managed to continue in the face of this blatantly false prophecy.

Testimony of a Former Jehovah's Witness Jason Wright is pastor of Bourne Evangelical Church. In this testimony, Jason shares how he was marvelously saved out of the Watch Tower Society aka Jehovah's Witnesses. For ten years, Jason and his family were dedicated and committed members of Jehovah's organisation and gave everything to faithfully serve what they believed to be the true religion on earth. With the promise of Armageddon imminent, there was no time to waste. However, as time proceeded, Jason and his wife Jenny, became disillusioned and sought answers. As Jason searched the Scriptures, it pleased the Father to reveal His Son and after a long struggle, Jason and his wife came to find the true Jesus and left the Jehovah's Witnesses losing everything. May God see fit to bless many as Jason and Jenny share their story.  

Guest Speaker: Rhodes, Ron Ph.D | Guest Speaker Who are the Jehovah's Witnesses? Why do they knock on millions of doors, spreading their message? What do they believe - you might be shocked. Recently, Pat invited Dr. Ron Rhodes, author of "Reasoning from the Scriptures" to speak about Jehovah's Witnesses. "Your average Jehovah Witness is a very sincere person, they believe what they believe - they're not thinking they are deceived and they are out to deceive you. They think they have the truth and they want to share it with you." "The dishonest people in my opinion, are the Watchtower Society...I believe that...(they) know that they've lied, and in fact there is a tremendous amount of evidence towards that effect."

In this episode we interview a lawyer in Australia who specialises in obtanining justice for abuse victims in religions including Jehovahs Witnesses, and explains the process involved in taking the Watchtower Society to court.

In this episode listen to John Redwood tell you what happened from right inside the court room in the Fessler v Watchtower Society case.

Listen to all the latest news; from Canada where the very first class action against Watchtower Society has been filed, and from Australia where the Australian Royal Commission has made its mark on changes in the law which will compel Jehovahs Witnesses to comply at last with child safeguarding legislation. We also discuss to weak response from Watchtower in the form of an elders letter dealing with how to handle child abuse cases.

No matter if you were born in or came in later in life to the Jehovah's Witness Organization, did you have that constant nagging that you just didn't quite fit in?  Yet you went along and did everything that was required of you no matter the hypocrisy, no matter the judgement. Can you relate?  Daniel said, "I grew up in an abusive home where my father was an alcoholic and addicted to drugs, the Jehovah’s Witnesses never completely embraced me as one of their own, because they feared that I would act like my father. Despite my inability to fit in at the Kingdom Hall, I did, however, hold solidly to all of the doctrines of the Watchtower Society and believed that I knew it better than most Witnesses.  I was always uncomfortable around people of this religion because of the hypocrisy I had witnessed in the Kingdom Hall. Yet, I believed they had “the truth,” so I continued to work to gain approval from them. SAVE THE DATE!

Carey was raised in a strict Jehovah Witness (Watch Tower Society) home and was discouraged from questioning what he saw was contradictions in his family's faith. He resolved at 18 to leave home and discover the truth for himself, which he eventually did in the Catholic Church. Listen to one man's journey through intellect and reason to the only Church that Christ Jesus Himself established through His Apostles. More than just a conversion story, in this interview Cary enlightens about what the Watch Tower Society teaches, how it traps people like a cult, and how Catholics can witness current and former Jehovah Witnesses.

Introduction Turn in your Bibles to Matthew chapter 24. We're looking today at the topic of the second coming of Christ as we go verse by verse through Matthew, focusing on 26-31. There is no way I'm going to finish this topic in one message either, so it's gonna be this time and the next time. We also have the joy of celebrating the Lord's Supper, so just relax and let's see if we can learn what the Lord has to say about the events and the circumstances surrounding his second coming. At the end of his life of suffering and fruitful ministry, the Apostle Paul sat isolated, forsaken by many of his closest friends in a jail cell, awaiting his own execution. You can read about the circumstances of his feelings and what was going on in his life in 2 Timothy, his last epistle. In 2 Timothy chapter 4, he said these words that are very familiar to you, you hear them perhaps frequently at funerals. But he wrote this to Timothy, he said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” That part is very familiar. What follows is not so familiar, listen to what he says. “Now there is in store for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” Is that you? Do you long for the appearing of Jesus Christ in the clouds, for the trumpet call of God? Do you long for that? And if you'd longed for it a little, my goal is you long for it more as a result of this sermon today. And that if you don't long for it at all, that you'll be converted, and by the end of this message, you'll long for it. Surprised by grace today, surprised by the sovereign act of God in saving you, you will long for the second coming of Christ at the end of this message. That's my prayer, I prayed for that today. For you Christians that you'll be heated up inside you and yearn for the day when Jesus will appear in the clouds. Yearn for that day. Be hungry for it, and yearn for it. And if you're not a believer, that you'll come to faith in Christ, and you'll realize that one who's coming in the clouds, he's your savior, he's your king, and he's coming back in glory to get you. That's my desire and my prayer. Feelings, strong feelings of a yearning for the second coming of Christ have come on me at different times in my life. It's not all equally, and I'm not feeling it all the time, but I can remember three in particular. I remember the summer after I graduated from college, I went on a trip with a friend of mine, crosscountry, just the two of us, probably the greatest time of freedom in my life. No, dear family, that's not my favorite time in my life, but it was a time of great freedom, you know what it's like. And I had a job waiting for me when I came back, and we just did whatever we wanted to do for two weeks. It was fantastic. And as we went across, we came to Montana, big sky country. Well, you have to see it to believe it, it's just amazing And we came to the edge of this valley and were starting to go across, and our destination was Butte, Montana. Now, that's a different matter. At any rate, anybody been to Butte? It's a strip mining place. It's not necessarily that beautiful, but this valley was beautiful. And as we came, the clouds started to darken the sky, very, very dramatic out there. And this big sky was filled with these very dramatic clouds, and suddenly an electrical storm started. And I saw lightning appear in the east and go all the way across to the west. It was awesome, absolutely awesome. And we got out of the car to watch until we felt personally threatened by the electrical storm, got back in the car. And having been to MIT, we'd learned, inside the car, Coulomb's law, you're safe. So, stay in there. Ask me later about Coulomb's law, it has nothing to do with theology, but you're safe inside the car. And so I was looking at that, and I thought about the second coming of Christ as lightning that flashes in the east is visible even in the west. And I'd never seen such a big and dramatic sky in my life, that was 1984. Ten years later, I was serving as a missionary in Japan, and I went every Saturday to a city in Japan called Takamatsu. I traveled there alone on a train, and I was teaching English to some of the Japanese folks there. Sweet people, tremendous time, most of them non-Christians, and we had interesting times discussing. This was the English text here, the Bible. And so we had some wonderful discussions while they learned English. How sly we are in the church, drawing them in with the scriptures. They wanted to know English, I wanted them to know Jesus. Hopefully, we could get both. At any rate, it was 1994 and I was walking through the streets there. It was the summer, again, as it'd been 10 years earlier, and again very, very dramatic cloud cover. And I was personally weary, struggling with some things, homesick, being away from my home and family in America, and just yearning, yearning for the Lord. And I was singing that hymn, “It Is Well With My Soul.” And you remember that final verse, “And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll, the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend even so it is well with my soul.” And I didn't even know this, but I was singing it out loud, and the Japanese people I was walking by were looking at me. Interesting moment in church history there. They had no idea, probably most of them, what I was saying, but I didn't really care at that moment. The Lord was ministering to me as I looked at those clouds and as I was singing that song. I said, “Haste the day, Lord, come back. Even so come, Lord Jesus.” That was 1994. Ten years later, I was flying back from a ministry in Czech Republic with a good friend of mine, and we were on a flight back, connecting flight back, from New York to RDU. And we were up in the midst of those clouds at that point, those dramatic - I don't know the names - cumulus, nimbus or something like that. Anyway, the kinds that just tower up to the sky. But we were in them. It was like we were flying in the land of the giants. And the sun was setting, and there was just electrical interplay, and I was just watching the show. It was awesome. And I thought about the circumstances of the second coming of Christ. And again, the yearning, the yearning for the coming of Christ with glory just captured my heart. And I'd like to have a lot more moments like that, wouldn't you? I actually would like to live my life, every day, yearning for the second coming of Christ. I think it just changes the way you look at everything. And I think the Lord intends for us to set our hearts on things above, not on earthly things. That we would set our hearts on things to come, not things at present. I don't think we're to avoid the things we're facing now, but I think we're supposed to go out into the future and get what we need, and then come back and say, it's... What we're going through now isn't even worth comparing with what's coming. And then with great strength and joy and confidence, we face the trials of our lives. So, won't you take that trip with me this morning, won't you go out through the words of Matthew 24, out in the future, and look at the glory that's coming to this earth. And let's contemplate together the second coming of Christ. And, friends, if we're gonna give two weeks to the abomination of desolation, we can definitely give two weeks to the second coming. Amen? So, let's do that. And then what a perfect way to cap it off with the celebration of the Lord's supper. We'll talk about that later in this message, but just a beautiful way for us to contemplate God's great power, and when he comes. Four times in this chapter, the Greek word “parousia,” or “coming,” appears. At the beginning of the chapter, Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen?” The destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, “When will this happen? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” Again, in Verse 27, I already alluded to it. “For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Ten verses after that, Verse 37, “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” And then Verse 39, “And they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away, that is how it'll be at the coming of the Son of Man.” Four times in this chapter the word “parousia,” or “coming,” appears. The doctrine itself plainly taught in verse 30, which was up on the screens and on the cover of your bulletin. “At that time,” it says, “the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.” That is the second coming of Christ. This doctrine is taught many places in the New Testament. It's not just here in Matthew 24, this is a major doctrine. Jesus Christ is coming back, he is going to return, He's gonna come back in glory. And he will set up a kingdom that will never end, an eternal kingdom. Perhaps one of the plainest places that it's taught is in Acts chapter 1. After Jesus's resurrection, he spent some time with his disciples. He instructed them and taught them many things, showed them all that was written about himself in what we call the Old Testament. And when those days were over, the time came for him to depart, and he brought them out to the Mount of Olives. He had said to them, “‘You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you'll be my witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’ And after he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.” And they were standing there looking up into the sky as he was going. And I think they were there a long time, for the Lord sent an angel to say, “Okay, no more of this. He's not coming back right now.” Frankly, I wanna talk in a later message about the tension between immediate return and things to do, and we'll get to that, but at that point, it was obvious Jesus isn't coming back now. So, they needed to go back into the city. And so God sent two men dressed in white with the message again concerning the second coming of Christ. “‘Men of Galilee,’ they said, ‘why do you stand here looking up into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken from you into heaven will come back in the same way you've seen him go into heaven.’” Isn't that spectacular? I think he's gonna actually touch down in the same place where he left. More later, there is always more to learn, friends. But he is coming back, and there it is, he is coming back in the same way that those apostles saw him go into heaven. And so also the Lord's Supper. 1 Corinthians 11:26 says, “Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.” And then there'll be no longer any need to do that kind of proclaiming of the Lord's death. We'll celebrate the Lord's death, but the time for the proclamation of the Gospel will end. But we, by partaking in the Lord's Supper, we're gonna be proclaiming the Lord's death until he comes. Wouldn't it be spectacular if we didn't get to do this today, and he came in between now and when we're planning on doing the Lord's Supper? Wouldn't that be awesome? That would be absolutely fantastic. But in case he doesn't, get your hearts ready for the Lord's Supper, okay? “But we proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Why Will He Come Back And so the second coming of Christ, I believe, should dominate our daily outlook. We should be thinking about it, we should be living for it, we should be yearning for it, we should be praying for it, we should be excited about it, we should be talking about it, we should learn about it as much as we can. The second coming of Christ then should be one of the major organizing principles to the way we do everything in our lives. Now, why will he do it? Why will he come back in glory with the clouds, with the armies of heaven? Why? And there are just so many different answers to this question, but I wanna draw your mind to think about five before we look carefully at the verses. Victory I think there are five major reasons why the Lord will come back in glory. The first is victory, triumph, victory, to just display and proclaim to the world his victory over all of his enemies, and make it just obvious how awesome and powerful he is over every enemy. Second coming of Christ will come to do that, to establish and complete his victory over all his enemies. He will be vindicated completely from the impostor that's receiving worship from all the world, the antichrist, filled with Satan, he'll be completely vindicated over him. And by extension, his second coming will end forever all false and insufficient forms of human government. Gone forever will be totalitarianism and dictatorships, even kingships. In their best, a picture of Christ. At their worst, far less than that. Communism, socialism, even representative democracy, friends, give it up, because we're not going to a representative democracy. Jesus will not stand for cyclical elections, there's not gonna be a rotating basis or any of this kind of thing. He will be King forever, and we'll be so delighted with that. He's come to be completely victorious over all that. He's come to crush forever all manifestations of the sinful corruption of this earth, pollution, spills of oil in the Gulf, and disgusting displays of sinful greed. And disease, and all of the groaning and the decay of this earth, he's come to triumph over that. And the second coming will establish so sweetly for us what a vindication for Christians against pluralism. He's come to vindicate himself against all the gods, the false gods, all the religions of the world, the man-made cults that Satan kept propped up and kept popping up throughout history. He's come to crush them all. Buddhism and Hinduism will be gone forever. So also all cults that did not teach rightly about Jesus Christ, like the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses and all of them. Islam will be gone forever. At a conference I was at recently, Erwin Lutzer was there, pastor of Moody Church in Chicago, and he was speaking of a recent trip he made to Asia Minor, Turkey, where those seven churches are of the book of Revelation chapter 2 and 3. And he had an Islamic guide and they had, I'm sure, a fascinating conversation. But in the 11th Century AD, Islam swept through that area and just obliterated Christianity. Obliterated it. And Lutzer was saying that his Turkish guide said this proved the superiority of Islam to Christianity. And in my opinion, the church has consistently advanced because its members were willing to be slaughtered and not to slaughter. We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered, but it doesn't play well, generally in human history. The second coming of Christ will end Islam forever. If they respect the sword, let them respect the sword coming out of the mouth of Jesus now while there's still time, so that they can find Him as savior, and the warmth and the welcome of grace now. But he will crush Islam, and he will crush every false religion by his second coming. Amen and amen. And how glorious will that be, what vindication. No more pluralism, friends. It will be gone. The second coming will end all human philosophies contrary to Scripture, such as secularism and atheism. Secularism teaches that God doesn't matter, and atheism teaches that God doesn't exist. Can I tell you, at the second coming of Christ, God will matter? He'll matter that day. Whatever your plans were, it will be over, Jesus will matter that day. He will force himself onto the consciousness of the world, and secularism will be gone forever. There will be no secularism where we're heading. The eternal kingdom of Jesus Christ, Jesus is at the center of everything, every radiant beam of light will be Jesus's. Secularism gone forever. So also atheism. They will not be able to say that God and his Son Jesus Christ don't exist when he comes in glory. He will not be ignored, he will not be denied, he will come in glory. And the second coming of Christ will establish plainly his victory over death, because the dead in Christ will rise and meet the Lord in the air. And we also will be transformed, and we will never die again. Death will have no mastery over us, and Jesus will crush death forever. And it proves his own triumph over death, because there he is, he's not just a dead man in a tomb. No, he's the one up on the horse coming before the armies of heaven. Victory. Justice Secondly, justice, he comes to established justice. He comes to right the greatest injustices there have ever been. The greatest injustice there has ever been is not what you may think. The greatest injustice there has ever been is that God is not honored and glorified first and foremost above everything else, that he is not adored or worshipped or glorified as God, neither is he thanked, that's the greatest injustice. And another injustice is exactly like it, and it's the same injustice that Jesus Christ is not honored for what he did at the cross. He's not honored and loved and embraced and worshiped with tears by every human being on the face of the earth, that's an injustice. And there are many other injustices lesser than those, just the way we treat each other, the way oppressors treat the oppressed. And Jesus will come to end all injustice. With eyes like blazing fire, he will judge the nations. They will be gathered before him, all of them, and he will winnow them out with his eyes. He will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. For justice, he comes. Rescue Thirdly, for rescue. He comes to rescue us, to rescue his bride, the church. There has never been such a rescue of a damsel in distress as will happen at the second coming. Jesus Christ will come to get his bride. He is the husband, he comes with his army, and he comes to rescue the elect. And they are in trouble. We're in trouble. We're in trouble. And we must be rescued. We are going to a place where there will be no danger. But we're in danger now, and he will come finally in the end, the second coming is his final rescue of his elect. And he will send out his angels, and they will gather his elect from the four winds. From one end of the heavens to the other, he's going to rescue them. The greatest rescue ever. He's going to rescue us from the antichrist, from Satan. He's going to rescue us from the great tribulation. He is going to rescue us and bring us safely into his heavenly kingdom. Restoration And fourthly, for restoration. I already mentioned that this world groans. It labors under decay and corruption. This is not the world we're gonna live in forever. This morning, we were listening as we drove in to the account in Genesis, we have these beautiful little discs of the Bible on CD, and we were listening as we drove in. And to that account in Genesis 13, where God promised to Abram, “I will give to you and to your descendants this land forever.” Figure that one out, friends. Especially in the book of Hebrews, he comes and tells us with authority that he died without receiving that promise. Is God a bait-and-switch God? Is he a promise-keeper or a promise-breaker? “Oh, don't worry about the Promised Land, Abram. I've got something better for you.” Now, God's gonna keep that promise. How? By resurrecting the earth. And if you don't understand a resurrected earth, neither do I. And how it relates to the elements melting in the heat, neither do I. But I know that God will keep that promise. And so he is coming to, as it says in many verses, restore all things, and to make them perfect, and make them beautiful. There will be a continuity and a difference between the earth, present, and the new heaven and the new earth just as there will be - Well, let's talk about Abraham. “I will give to you,” Abraham had some changes. He died, and he's going to be resurrected. And in a resurrected body, he's going to enjoy that promise forever. And Jesus comes to restore all things at his second coming. Worship And finally, fifth, he comes to be worshipped. He comes to stimulate from us worship. It says in 2 Thessalonians, he's coming to destroy the antichrist, the lawless one, with the breath of his mouth and with the splendor or the glory of his coming. It's going to be quite a show. I say that with all reverence. It's going to be brilliant and glorious and bright and shining. And he's going to destroy the antichrist and Satan with that glory. And it says in 2 Thessalonians 1:9 and 10, it speaks of the “majesty of his power on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people,” Listen, “and to be marveled at among those who have believed.” For me, another word for “marveled at” is “worshipped.” Amen? We're gonna just worship him for what he's done and who he is, and we're just going to be - Our hearts are gonna change within us, and we will be transformed forever. That's the moment of glorification. How sweet will that be? I could go on and on, but I think I'm supposed to be an expository preacher, and this is an exposition. Let's go ahead and look at some verses. That's just biblical theology, is all it is, but now let's look at some actual verses and learn what Jesus says about the details of the Second Coming. The Second Coming Will Be Obvious to All No Secret Second Coming Look at Verse 26, the first thing I wanna say is that the second coming will be obvious to everyone, obvious to everyone. Verse 26, “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is out in the desert,’ do not go out, or here he is in the inner rooms, ‘do not believe it.’” There will be no secret second coming. The Jehovah's Witnesses have taught that twice Jesus has come back. In 1874, he came back. It was predicted openly and lots of interest around the Watchtower Society and all that. Lots and lots of interest. Charles Taze Russell taught it. It didn't happen. So, he said, “But it did happen. It happened spiritually. And Jesus is reigning in a new way and in a new stance toward the earth since 1874.” Don't you believe that. That's not what this is talking about. He said the same thing in 1914, that's when the 144,000 went up. Heaven is full. We just get the new earth in the Jehovah's Witness theology. But that's 'cause in 1914, he said that's when it happened. Friends, this is just a lie by a cult leader. The second coming of Christ will be obvious to everyone. Everyone will see it. Even at the very end, as they're running for their lives, it will be a time of great deception by the antichrist Satan, and perhaps that generation of believers will be tempted that, “Here's Christ, or there he is, or here out here.” No, you don't need to do that. Go to the hills, go to the mountains and hide yourselves, because the second coming of Christ will stop it all. Don't worry about that, don't be deluded, don't be led astray. It's not going to be a secret or a local kind of second coming. It will be obvious to everyone. Lightning Visible from One End of the Heavens to the Other Look at Verse 27, “As lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” I don't know what you need to picture. We had some electrical storm last night out in Bahama. I don't know if you saw some of that. But maybe you've seen some very, very dramatic electrical storms. It's not a private show. It's something everyone in that region can see. And so this is a very obvious thing. It'll be an event of cosmic proportions. More on that next time. No Need for Faith But it's just gonna be obvious to everyone. That lightning flashes across the sky, visible to everyone on the surface of the earth. Now, what does that mean? I tell you, it means that there will be absolutely no need for faith at that point. In my opinion, the era of faith will end with the second coming of Christ. So also for us Christians, the era of hope will end. Who hopes for what he already has? We will have it then. We won't need any faith either, and so no need for faith. You don't need to believe in the Second Coming of Christ on that day. It says in Hebrews 11:1, “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen.” This is something that will be seen, friends. It will be visible. Jesus said to Thomas, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” He built his church with those people. We are those who did not see and yet we believed. By faith, it's the era of faith. No Opportunity for Salvation So, there'll be no faith required to see the second coming of Christ. Do you know the significance of that though? No opportunity for salvation on that day. None. Please listen carefully now. If you have never trusted in Christ, now is the day of faith. Now is the day of salvation. This is the time to believe in Jesus, now. This is the time of faith, when all you get is a guy like me speaking into a microphone, and you have to somehow listen and hear the word of God through the word of a man. You have to hear that, and you'll have to believe. And if you do, the Bible says, you will be forgiven of all your sins. If you can look to Jesus, the Son of God, whose blood was shed on the cross, if you can look to him and say, “I understand. He died in my place. He died for me. I'm a sinner. I have transgressed the laws of God. My conscience is defiled. I am filled with lust. I'm filled with selfishness. I'm leading an empty life. I need Jesus.” If you can hear in that the law of God standing in condemnation over you and say, “I cannot survive Judgment Day without a savior. Jesus is my savior. Jesus shed his blood for me. He died on the cross as my substitute.” The Bible says if you can look to Christ, and if you can call on the name of the Lord, you will be saved. But now is the time, now. It says in Romans 3:28, “We maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.” So, when Christ returns, like the shutting of the door in Noah's Ark, it will be over. It will be over. No time for faith. I tell you, now is the time of God's favor and now is the day of salvation. So, please believe. Please, I plead with you. I plead with you to not leave this room in an unregenerate state. I plead with you that by faith you will project your mind ahead to Judgment Day, when there is heaven and there is hell, the lake of fire, and you'll be in one of those two places. And if Jesus isn't your savior, you're going to hell. Please don't go to hell. Trust in him now. Believe in him now. No Secret Rapture Also, I believe that there will be no secret rapture. Now, hang on, folks. Don't push the eject - I don't think there's a trap door here or an eject thing. I'm going to devote a whole sermon to the rapture - against the better judgment of some close to me - but I'm going to devote a whole sermon to the rapture. But if I can just kind of begin to lay my cards on the table, I think the rapture and the Second Coming happen at the same time. I think the Bible so plainly teaches it. I don't understand why there's confusion about this. Could some of you please come and confuse me? No, never mind, don't come and confuse me. I don't believe in a secret rapture. What do I mean by secret? I mean, the kind where Jesus comes and gets the church, but only the church, and then goes back in a big U-turn back up to heaven. We'll get to the whole U-turn thing in that sermon, not this one. But he goes back and gets us, and then the world goes on. I don't believe in that. I respect it as a view, and I'll talk about it in due time, but I think that really teaches two second comings. And because it teaches two second comings, I don't think that it's biblically accurate. And I understand the reason is to get the church out of the tribulation, but I think God's intention generally is to protect the church in tribulation. That's what I believe. And so we can respect and love each other, just like we do with people who believe in infant baptism, we can embrace them. But I'm just telling you, and I'll make my case in due time. But I'm just telling you the implications of the worldwide visibility of the second coming of Christ is that the whole “Left Behind” thing, where Rayford Steele is on the plane and Hattie Durham is there and all that, and then they're all gone and the clothes are rumpled. We'll get to all that in due time. Or a Casting Crowns song. “The United States of America looks like another Silent Night,” says Casting Crowns, “As we're sung to sleep by philosophies that save the trees and kill the children. And while we're lying in the dark, there's a shout heard across the eastern sky, for the bridegroom has returned and carried his bride away in the night.” So, like a thief in the night... I know that passage in the Bible. Actually, it's even in this section that we're preaching on, so I will do the thief in the night thing in due time. But I don't believe in that. I do believe, with all my heart, in a rapture, and I am looking forward to it. It's going to be the ride of my life up to that point. What happens after that, I'm not really sure. But up to that point, that will be the highlight of my life, to be caught up in the clouds and meet the Lord in the air. The Second Coming Will Purify the World of Evil The Spiritual Interpretation: A Carcass is the Focus of Spiritual Infection The second coming, the Scripture says, also will purify the world of evil. Look at Verse 28, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.” Aren't these eschatology verses fun? Aren't they? You read these and then say, “What does that mean?” And can I tell you, there are some things I'm more sure of than others in the Bible? I'm not 100% sure what this is, so I'll give you two possible interpretations and I actually believe them both. Okay? First, let's take it spiritually. It could be that Jesus is using a spiritual metaphor, teaching us a spiritual principle by using an earthy kind of metaphor. The spiritual interpretation, a carcass then is a focus of infection, of deadness, of disease. The great increase of wickedness will characterize the end of the world. Jesus already described that increase plainly in verse 12. “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.” So also the Apostle Paul describes it in 2 Timothy 3, “But mark this,” he says, “there'll be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, treacherous, brutal, rash, not lovers of the good, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.” By this time in history, as I believe, the reign of the antichrist will be in full swing. All unbelievers will have received the mark of the beast. They'll be openly worshipping the antichrist and forsaking every other religion. They have rejected the truth and follow evil, it says. And it will show openly in their lives. The human race will be a carcass at that point, spiritually dead, living only with writhing worms and maggots, the spiritually filthy end of the human race. The vultures - which also the word can be translated “eagles,” by the way - But vultures, in general, though they are disgustingly ugly, they certainly do the world of good service. Aren't you thankful for - you've probably never been thankful for vultures before - but the vultures clean the place up. And so I believe that the Lord is going to send out his angels and they're gonna clean up this world. They're gonna collect the garbage, as it were. Matthew 13, Jesus had an explanation of the wheat and the tares. He says, “As the weeds are pulled up and thrown into the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all those who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” That's the spiritual interpretation of this verse. The Physical Interpretation: Dead Bodies Everywhere The physical interpretation is about as physical as it gets. There's gonna be lots of dead bodies and there's gonna be lots of birds eating their flesh. That's as literal as it gets. Sometimes people accuse others in eschatology of spiritualizing things away. I'm doing both spiritual and physical here. I believe there will be literally carnage at the second coming of Christ, and there's going to be literal birds feeding on the carnage. It’s described in Revelation 19, Jesus comes back dressed in a robe dipped in blood, his name is the word of God, and the armies of heaven are gonna follow him riding on white horses, and out of his mouth will come a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. He's going to destroy the antichrist with the breath of his mouth and destroy it by the splendor of his coming. Revelation 19:7 and following, it says, “And I saw an angel standing in the sun who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in mid-air, ‘Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people free and slave, small and great.’” It says in verse 21 in Revelation 19, “The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.” That's what I call the literal interpretation of this verse. Wherever there is a carcass, there the birds, the vultures are going to gather. In any case, the second coming of Christ will clean up the world, purified at last from the filth of human sin. The Second Coming Will Affect the Cosmos Now, next time we will look at some other aspects from Matthew 24. I'm going to tell you that the Second Coming will affect the cosmos. Verse 29, “Immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be dark, and the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.” We'll talk about that in due time. The Second Coming Will Be Powerful and Glorious And also the second coming will be, I will say, powerful and glorious. Look at verse 30, “At that time, the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.” So, we're going to talk about that. The Second Coming Will Result in Judgment on Sinners And then the second coming will result in judgment on sinners. Again, verse 30, it says, “All the nations of the earth will mourn.” I'll describe why they're going to mourn and how the judgment will be. The Second Coming Will Result in the Gathering of the Elect And then finally the second coming will result in the gathering of the elect. Verse 31, “He will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.” In my opinion, that's your rapture verse here in Matthew 24. And so that's where we will be gathered by the angels to meet the Lord in the clouds. Applications Look Ahead to Christ’s Victory Now, as we prepare for the Lord's supper, I wanna briefly give you some applications. First of all, I wanna just go over those five things and just give you some applications. First of all, victory. Yearn for the day when Jesus will be triumphant over all human governments. Yearn for it. If you see the American government doing something you don't like or there's something that's despicable or something you find isn't biblical, look ahead to the second coming. That's God's remedy in the end. I am not saying we should not be active in civic things. We should be. We should be salt and light. I'm just saying the final end will be the second coming of Christ. Yearn for that victory. Look ahead to the victory of Christ over false gods and false prophets and all false religious forms, and Buddhism and Hinduism and Islam. Look ahead to that. Victory is coming. Yearn for the day when secularism and atheism will be gone. Celebrate that day. Though you may grieve in your heart, and you should, at those that are swept away by it, just know that its days are numbered. Yearn for Justice And yearn for justice. Yearn for God to be esteemed as he ought to be. That's just such a healthy thing to do. Just say, “God, it is unjust, not how I'm being treated, it's unjust that you are not worshipped and glorified.” Just change your thinking on that and just say, “Come, Lord Jesus, so that you can be honored and glorified as you ought to be. And, Lord, I see all this injustice around me. Jesus, come and solve our problem of injustice.” Wait for Rescue And rescue. “Come Lord Jesus” is a cry for rescue. This world is too hard for us. If left to ourselves, we will be swept away. Just say, “Jesus, rescue me from this world.” I talked last time about run for your lives, but just the ultimate rescue is going to be the second coming of Christ. Yearn for the New Heavens and the New Earth And yearn for his restoration, the new heavens and the new earth. Meditate with me on that promise given to Abram in Genesis 13, “I will give to you and to your seed, your descendants, this land forever.” Oh, how sweet is that. Yearn for the day when the new heavens and new earth will be the home of righteousness and glory. Worship And finally, if I can just say worship the Lord, look ahead with anticipation and with faith and hope to the second coming of Christ, as we participate in the Lord's Supper now. As the time comes for us to focus on the elements, we are proclaiming the Lord's death that's back in time. Until he comes, that's ahead, future in time. As you sit there and partake in these elements, the cup and the bread, as you partake in these things, think about what Jesus did for you to rescue you from the coming wrath and celebrate, celebrate the triumph of Christ at the cross. And if I can just urge you, if you have not come to faith in Christ, if you're not a believer in Christ, please don't partake in the Lord's Supper. In order to partake here, you have to be a believer in Christ who's testified to your faith in Christ by water baptism. And if you've done that, then you are welcome to come. Please pray with me, if you would.

This podcast concludes my first judicial hearing. Remember, I was expected to defend myself in front of a committee of 3 elders with no representation; it was me against them. The two witness called to testify against me were both elders, one of whom is my brother. Both of these witnesses used conversations I had had with them, trusting that they were going to help me. Instead, they convened a meeting of the elders, brought their testimonies together and formed a judicial committee. This was a breach of clergy privilege.* Please pay careful attention to what can only be described as a personal bias on the part of one of the elders in the committee who was supposed to have been going on holiday with two of our friends. Compare his questioning, coupled with the testimony of the two elders, with the statement made right at the end by the Chairman that the committee was not prejudiced or biased. Remember, anyone who does not accept all of the Governing Body's interpretation of scripture is liable to face a committee such as I did. Ask yourself whether the Watch Tower Society allows it's members to enjoy the same level of freedom of thought and religion as it itself expects to be afforded. Is there any wonder why some view the Watch Tower Society as a dangerous cult? *Jehovah's Witness elders consistently use the excuse of "clergy privilege" to avoid having to testify in court against suspected Jehovah's Witness pedophiles.

Guest Speaker: Rhodes, Ron Ph.D | Guest Speaker Who are the Jehovah's Witnesses? Why do they knock on millions of doors, spreading their message? What do they believe - you might be shocked. Recently, Pat invited Dr. Ron Rhodes, author of "Reasoning from the Scriptures" to speak about Jehovah's Witnesses. "Your average Jehovah Witness is a very sincere person, they believe what they believe - they're not thinking they are deceived and they are out to deceive you. They think they have the truth and they want to share it with you." "The dishonest people in my opinion, are the Watchtower Society...I believe that...(they) know that they've lied, and in fact there is a tremendous amount of evidence towards that effect."

Play Get all of the podcasts in iTunes This is the final part of our second visit from two local elders. In this podcast you'll notice the huge emphasis Jehovah's Witnesses put on their need to have an organisation to follow, an organisation that will place upon them an enforced unity of belief. The elders stress their belief that only the 144,000 get the Holy Spirit and that they alone represent Jesus on earth today. We come back to the issue of the United Nations. One of the elders had previously stated that the United Nations was "just the Beast". In this podcast you'll notice that he denies saying this. I press one of the elders as to whether he would ever have any affiliation with the UN, notice how he responds. The elders completely dismiss myself, my wife and my childrens' futures because we are no longer associated with the Watch Tower Society. We're also told that God is not with us, again because we don't believe the teachings of men in Brooklyn. Closeness to God is absolutely linked to the Watch Tower Society in the eyes of these elders, and sadly this is typical of most Jehovah's Witnesses. The discussion turns from being about the teachings of the organisation to being about our personal character and the sort of people we are and will become. Interestingly, it's tacitly admitted that the lifestyle of the organisation can make you feel bad about yourself.

In this podcast we continue with our second visit from two of the local elders. The discussion moves onto the Biblical definition of a false prophet. I also provide both elders with evidence relating to the Watch Tower Society's dishonesty regarding their links to Johannes Grieber. Please notice how swiftly this information is dismissed and attention is turned on my character instead. Listen out for one of the elders saying that Jehovah would allow people to die within the Organisation due to their teachings. Stunningly, this same elder says that anomalies in the Society's publication is the same as there being anomalies in the Bible. For some reason he also recommends that we read the "God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins . this elder says , "You'll find enough there to disturb you". Also, the overt use of emotional blackmail may surprise you. Emotions become raw. Listen out for the moment when one of the elders agrees that we're being treated like we're dirt on the bottom of someone's shoe.

True to his word, he returned bringing another local elder with him, who happens to be my brother. This podcast is the first of 3 parts of their visit. We discuss some of Jehovah's Witnesses unique beliefs Is 1914 found in scripture? Do the presence of "ministerial servants" and "elders" mark one group as being true Christians over all others? Have the Watch Tower Society added to the Gospel? And is the Watch Tower Society's calculation of the Gentile Times an express Bible teaching? I'd love to hear your thoughts on these podcasts, please leave your comments on the website. Or email me.

This is a powerful testimony. Chris's words have helped many free their minds from the Watch Tower Society's shackles. Faithful brother, Chris Sanchez, talks about the best and worst days of his life, how he was excommunicated from Jehovah's Witnesses lost his home and then found something much greater.

Despite previously stating that a person would not be considered an apostate for reading material critical of the Watch Tower Society's teachings, one of the elders now makes the grave comment that passing on such material does designate a person as an apostate. I am commended for keeping my own counsel - the elder admits that I have not been guilty of discussing my concerns about the Organisation with anyone else. This is an important point to keep in mind as he later claims the opposite to be true. The elder also contradicts himself as to whether Jehovah has been blessing individuals or groups since 33CE.

PLAY THE AUDIO This is part 3 of the Death or Obedience Podcast. For the story behind this podcast, be sure to visit the website - deathorobedience.blogspot.com In this edition we continue with our visit from 2 of the local elders. Our discussion moves onto whether the Organisation is inspired by God or not. One of elders admits that it isn't, however, he fails to explain how God can be using it as his agent on earth. My wife is put under pressure to talk about any books she may have read which criticise the teachings of the Watch Tower Society. It's pointed out by the elder, though, that reading such literature does not make one an apostate. We also broach the life or death topic of organ transplants.

This is part 2 of the Death or Obedience Podcast. For the story behind this podcast, be sure to visit the website - deathorobedience.blogspot.com PLAY THE AUDIO In this edition we continue with our visit from 2 of the local elders. We discuss at length the Watch Tower Society's self-assigned role as God's prophet. Notice, however, how one of the elders states that the Society has never claimed to be a prophet, but were merely running ahead of Jehovah. Notice also the terms "negative Bible study" and the complete dismissal of the Watch Tower Society's relationship with the United Nations.

Part 1 - The Elders Come to Visit Part 1 of 4 Jehovah's Witnesses are required to accept the entire range of teachings and unique beliefs as laid out in Watch Tower Society publications. Failure to do so results in being cut off, excommunicated, leaving the Jehovah's Witness to face one of two choices; Death or Obedience. In this series of podcasts we reveal what actually happens when Jehovah's Witnesses start to have doubts as to the scriptural validity of these unique teachings. My wife and I were approached by the local elders who wished to visit us to impart some 'scriptural encouragement'. Little did we realise that this visit would eventually lead to us being faced with the choice; Death or Obedience. In the coming weeks you will hear recorded conversation with Jehovah's Witness elders, culminating with the secretive 'Judicial Committee' hearings that Jehovah's Witnesses are threatened with if they continue to question Watch Tower teachings. Some of what you will hear may disturb you. Some of what you hear may upset you. The purpose of this podcast is to educate people as to the level of control an average Jehovah's Witness will face from the body of elders. In part 1 of this series, my wife and I are visited by 2 local elders to enquire as to our spiritual well-being. This is part 1 of this particular visit which will span 4 podcasts. Listen out for their unwillingness to admit that any outwith the Watch Tower Society can be considered a Christian, that the Watch Tower Society is, by definition, a false prophet and in particular listen out for one of the elders admitting that their belief of 1914 is not based in scripture.
