What? No comments?

I am having a problem with the fact that we have had NO comments since posting “The Great Crowd“. Before, we got hate mail, you will die in Armageddon mail, but it as been like the life was pulled out of this blog since “The Great Crowd”. Wow, I actually think that we have hit on a subject that the Watchtower cannot answer. And lets face it, if the Watchtower can’t answer it, then neither can the Jehovah’s Witnesses. We had 22 comments on the ex-witnesses, but can’t get a comment on “The Great Crowd“? Interesting.

The Trinity

Senior Pastor Calvary Chapel Crossfields
The Trinity has come up in a few emails, so we wanted to touch on the subject. I am the Sr. Pastor of Calvary Chapel Crossfields and have had many conversations with Jehovah’s Witnesses over the years. The Trinity is a concept that the Watchtower has used over their entire history to discredit Christians that adhere to it.
The funny thing about the Trinity is that nobody can really understand it, and it is not shameful to admit that. If we could understand every fine detail about Gods character then He would cease to be God and we would end up usurping His role. There are mysteries about spiritual things that have yet to be discovered such as what the 7 thunders uttered in revelation that the angel forbid john to write about and what it will be like living in eternity with our spiritual bodies.
The problem with Jehovah’s Witnesses is that they claim to know everything about God, which is totally absurd. Their understanding of the Trinity is fallacious because of their preconceived bias regarding the deity of Christ [jn10:33, jn8:58-59, is9:6, rom9:5, titus2:13, etc] and the personal nature of the Holy Spirit [He teaches (1cor2:13), convicts (jn16:8), can be lied to (acts5:3)], etc. This is not the characteristics of an ‘active force’ [You can live on Paradise Earth 1982 pg 40] such as electricity (which Jehovah’s Witnesses ascribe to the Holy Spirit); this is the characteristics of a personal being! When was the last time you lied to electricity?! Peter even said regarding the Holy Sprit when you lie to Him, you are lying to God (acts5:4)]. God does, however, give us a glimpse of His triune nature used throughout scripture: The multiple uses of Elohim when describing Himself ["IM" in Hebrew denotes plurality, Elohim literally means Gods], the use of the word “echad” in Deuteronomy 6:4 for “the Lord is [one]” referring to God [echad means a compound (not absolute unity) in Hebrew as opposed to "yachid" which means "only one" which Moses did not use in this passage when referring to God, etc].The Jehovah’s Witnesses argument will be that Christians over the years described God as a trinity which was a take-off on pagan society’s trinities. (Reconciliation 1928 pg 101) How amusing, Gods people copying off of satan? Who came first? Starting from the ‘beginning’, satan has always copied God, not the reverse: God made sex inside marriage good, satan has perverted it in our society to be destructive:
Gods number for perfection and completion is 7, satan made his 6: Jesus is the Messiah, satan’s antichrist will be the false messiah that will dupe the nation Israel for a time, AND God exists in 3 persons [as we do: we are flesh, mind, and spirit (and they operate individually at times but we are "one" person)] so satan copied it and perverted it with the Egyptian / Babylonians false trinities and with the final false trinity of the dragon, antichrist[beast] and false prophet in the book of revelation in end times.
It’s also important not to fall into the trap that they set regarding the ‘original Greek and Hebrew’. When they are ‘on the ropes’ in a debate they are trained to say that you cant understand the full meaning of Gods word unless you know the original Greek and Hebrew [as if they have more insight in interpretation than the hundreds of bible translators over the years that all agree on the meaning of the scriptures]. It’s not a bad thing to learn some basic Greek and Hebrew since they aren’t that difficult to learn, I have. What’s interesting is that when I use these languages and call their bluff, they all do the same thing: they look at their watches and say “we have to go, we have another appointment”.

The “Great Crowd”
By Pedward · 56 Comments
Click Here for the Watchtower Documents on the 144,000 and the Great Crowd.PDF
In 1935 the Watchtower began to teach that only 144,000 of the Jehovah’s Witnesses would go to Heaven after they die and the remaining class called “The Great Crowd” would inherit paradise earth and live on earth forever after the resurrection by Jesus. Since they say the 144,000 have already been sealed I assume that most Jehovah’s Witnesses alive today are part of the 99% of Jehovah’s Witnesses that feel they are in the Great Crowd that will live on Paradise Earth.
For the Jehovah’s Witnesses, would you please help me out and show me where specifically the Bible says “The Great Crowd will live on earth.” Please read Rev 7:9-15. In verse nine we know right away that the great crowd is in heaven. This is a heavenly scene. The heavenly throne and the Lamb are there. The great crowd is standing before the throne. In verse 11 we see other heavenly creations. There are angels, the elders and the four living creatures. These are always spoken in revelation as heavenly creatures. Notice what they did. They fell before the heavenly throne and worshiped God who was there. Verse 13 presents a powerful question. One of the elders asks, “who are these who are arrayed in white robes, and from where do they come?” That would be a silly question if this was an earthly scene. The reason the elder wanted to know where this great crowd is from, was that they were strangers to the territory. They were strangers to heaven. If this was an earthly seeing the answer to the question might have been New York or California.
In verse 14 we have our answer. These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation. These are earthly tribulations saints, who still go to heaven, but they have to go through the tribulation, because they accepted Christ after the tribulation began. Notice their salvation. Verse 14 says this crowd have washed their robes and whitened them in the blood of the lamb. They didn’t believe an organization for salvation, they accepted Christ.
So does the Watchtower teach a lie that the great crowd will live on earth? Why does the Watchtower society say that the great crowd will live on earth, when Revelation 19:1 says that the great crowd is in heaven? (Rev 19:1 And after these things I heard a great sound of the great crowd in heaven, saying, hallelujah! Salvation and glory and honor and the power of the lord our God! Interestingly you will find no scripture that says the great crowd will live on the earth. Since 1935, when the alcoholic president of the Watchtower, Judge Rutherford, (who died of cirrhosis of the liver) made the decision that the majority of Jehovah’s witnesses should live on the earth, Jehovah’s witnesses have been living a lie. The Watchtower society has taken salvation through Jesus’ away from the great crowd.
A Question for the Jehovah’s Witnesses
By Pedward · 13 Comments
We receive a lot of emails and comments from Jehovah’s Witnesses. Many of them want to tell us how sinful we are for having this website and that we are also liars. However, when asked to explain which article or post had a lie in it, we get no response. It’s written down, so it’s pretty easy to prove.
So I thought about it and I have a question of my own for the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
The Watchtower Society (”Gods Organization”) predicted the end of the world would come in 1914, 1915, 1918, 1921, 1925, 1932, 1941 and 1975. They lied.
Question: Who is the father of the lie?
Blood Transfusions
By Pedward · 23 Comments
Blood Transfusions - Part 1
One of the most controversial doctrines the Watchtower has passed down to the Jehovah’s Witness is the doctrine of no blood transfusions. Not just because the adults were refusing the blood transfusions, but more over, the parents of small children that were unable to make their own decisions, were dieing because their parents were making the decision for them. The Awake magazine on the left shows the faces of kids who lost ther lives because their parents would not get a blood transfusion for them. The Watchtower has made martyrs out of these kids.
In a Watchtower book entitled “Blood, Medicine, and The Law of God” 1961 addition, Pg 54 states ” They know if they violate God’s law on blood and the child dies in the process, they have endangered the child’s opportunity for everlasting life in God’s new world”. Read more
