Spring 2026.

 

Spring 2026

It has been a year so far for us in 2026. At the end of the day, this year will be one of the most life changing years in human history. A lot of unexpected occurrences have transpired from the kidnapping and jailing of Maduro to the continued protests in Iran. Indeed 2025 had many controversial events, but 2026 is even more important than last year. The reason is that we have midterms coming up that will deal with the composition of the United States House and the United States Senate. Also, we realize that the Trump regime has used ICE to make more control and authoritarianism in society. On a video, ICE has been caught acting aggressive in Minneapolis and in other places of America (from California to Maine) to harass journalists, assault protesters and one political leader (caught on tape), illegally detain U.S. citizens, placed a 5 year old child in a detention camp (a judge ordered the government to release the child and her father), and kill U.S. citizens without any accountability so far. Some far right extremists, Hoteps, and agents said that this issue is not our issue as black Americans. They are wrong for many reasons. One reason is that a threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere as said by the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In other words, if they people in the state were to use unjust actions against immigrants and U.S. citizens, that is an attack on our freedom too. 

The second reason is that such actions by ICE and DHS is against the Golden Rule or treating our neighbors like we would want to be treated. There is absolutely no excuse for a city council member to be assaulted by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, for innocent protesters to be sprayed with dangerous chemicals, and for human beings to be killed by ICE plus be classified as "domestic terrorists" by MAGA extremists. Many of these agents (who claim to be "independent" and outside of the 2-party system and some of them don't care about people being oppressed) embrace a xenophobic, selfish mentality that it won't harm me. That is a lie as U.S. citizens including black people have already been detained before. Now, Trump wants ICE to go into Ohio to target Haitian Americans (even those with legal status), so this is a threat to all of us, not just some people. What is worse than Trump are committed Trump supporters including Tulsi Gabbard, Nicki Minaj, Kid Rock, Steve Bannon, Amber Rose, Sylvester Stallone, Jon Voight, etc. Throughout over a year of a tyrant in the White House (during his second term), these Trump supporters still show allegiance to him unconditionally. These brainwashed souls care more for idolizing a racist, sexist, and xenophobic male than honor true democratic freedoms plus justice for all. Trump and his team want to gather voter rolls illegally, so they can try to prevent who they disagree with from voting. This is a wicked agenda which is more than xenophobia. It is about harming our elections and being authoritarian in general. 

 

For a long time, many white racists want to say the n word in public with impunity. Yet, with our strength as black people, we have made it clear that the n word has no place to be spoken by non-black people. We shouldn't tolerate anyone calling our parents the n word, so no black person should be called that world. The goal of the enemy is the destruction of humanity via population control (as advocated by the Club of Rome), centralization of wealth, and the promotion of oligarchy (as promoted by the Pilgrim Society, the Bilderbergers, the RIIA, etc.). They or the super wealthy elites a have special hatred of us black people, because we are the exact blueprint (no one is better than us), we are the first humans, and we are the full representation of the refutation of the lie of white superiority. Everyone knows that when we are given freedom to express our independence, we excel internationally from athletics to politics, teaching, and beyond. One of the slickest deceptions that they (or Trump supporters, many in the one percent, far right people, etc.) use is to claim the blasphemy that God approves of their actions. In reality, God never approves of poisoning our water and food, claiming that one person in the White House has immunity to do what he wants, and to permit racial oppression and economic oppression in the world. We live in a crossroads in these latter days. We have to continue on the path to save lives by defending our environment, building institutions that we control, and be on the path of goodness. 

The 2026 Iranian War is one of the most unjust wars in human history. It has a long history. Iran gained independence after World War II. Later, the U.S. and British Intelligence used Operation Ajax to overthrow Iranian nationalist leader Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953 for no other reason than to gain their oil supply. Mossadegh was not a terrorist, but he was a popular Iranian leader who nationalized Iran's oil supply. So, he was overthrown, and the dictatorship of the Shah existed until 1979. By 1979, there was the Iranian Revolution, when theocratic leaders would control Iran to this very day. Iran, by the 1980s, fought Iraq (for a time in the 1980s, Saddam Hussein was an ally of America. There is a picture of Saddam Hussein shaking hands with Donald Rumsfeld). Iran had people of many faiths (like Christians, followers of Judaism, Zoroastrians), and its leadership is mostly Shia Muslims, as the vast majority of Middle Eastern Muslims are Sunnis. Obama and Iran established a nuclear deal. Trump ended that deal and later bombed Iran by the summer of 2025. Recently, Trump and Iran were in negotiations for another nuclear deal, but Trump used that as a smokescreen for a planned attack (especially during the midst of the Epstein scandal). By February 27, 2026, Trump gave the order to proceed with Operation Epic Fury. On February 28, 2026, Trump and Israel attacked Iran. U.S. warships used Tomahawk missiles, and the U.S. Army used HIMARS launchers. Israeli's Air Forces attacked Iran too. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and many high officials at his residential compound were killed, as were members of his family. 

Then, Iranian forces have retaliated against many U.S. targets and in Israel, including residential locations in Israel. The U.S. attacked a girls' school in Iran, killing tons of people, constituting an overt war crime. Iran has retaliated against Gulf states too, from the U.A.E. to Bahrain. Many American soldiers and Iranian military members have been killed in the war. It is clear that the Iranian regime is not a paragon of virtue, but we reject preemptive strikes being unjustly used against sovereign nations. Qatar has intercepted missile attacks from Iran. Iran has fired weapons in the Mediterranean as far as Cyprus. Israel has attacked Hezbollah in Lebanon. Trump has no plan and no exit strategy to end this conflict, except for him saying he can end the war by "feeling it in his bones." Iran has tried to block the Strait of Hormuz. The new leader of Iran is Mojtaba Khamenei. Iran has used drones to attack in Iraq as well. This war has no end in sight, and this Iranian war has no Constitutional or international law justification. There is no question that Donald Trump has embraced neo-conservativism, which is antithetical to democracy, justice, and true international cooperation. Trump wants this war not just for profit and power. He wants America to influence the world in an authoritarian, imperialistic fashion. Most Americans oppose the 2026 Iranian War and his wicked agenda. Trump using memes to compare the war to a video game is beyond grotesque. It's plainly evil. Trump wants the American people via Congress to pay $200 billion for this war when that money can be better used to build of America's infrastructure. We must always condemn anti-Semitism and Islamophobia (promoted by many GOP Congressional lawmakers) as some have exploited the 2026 Iran War to advance anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. Trump promotes a xenophobic, racist campaign for years, and we must oppose bigotry with all of our strength, mind, and spirit. The Golden Rule matters. 

  

Jehovah Witness

 

I wrote about the religious group of the Jehovah Witnesses many years ago. It has long information and great insights into that religious organization. Now, we live in a new generation, and I know much more about it than years ago. Many people believe that the Jehovah Witness group is just another Christian sect. That isn't the case at all. Back in the day, we knew that JWs didn't celebrate any holidays (they don't even celebrate their own birthdays), they refuse to stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance (refusing to stand is part of the freedom of religion), and some refuse to participate in blood transfusions. We must present the truth honesty and with courageous. The Jehovah Witness theology blaspheme The God of Heaven by denying that Jesus Christ is divine and God in the flesh, and they call Jesus the Archangel Michael. The Watchtower (which is a prominent Jehovah Witness publication) made false prophetic predictions for decades. The founder of Jehovah Witness, Charles Taze Russell, made false predictions as well. Many members of the JWs are in a strict cultural system, some have left the JWs, and some are afraid for them. We shouldn't be afraid as God has given people a spirit of strength to stand up for the truth. In real life, many JWs tried to evangelize me at my home and at other places, but I refuse to believe their faulty views. This work will not only expose the false doctrines of the Jehovah Witnesses, but it will give tools for behavior to compassionately express the truth, so people can leave the Jehovah Witnesses forever and ever. At the end of the day, we desire people to be born again and saved wholeheartedly.

Charles Taze Russell, the Founder of the JWs

Charles Taze Russell was the founder of the Jehovah Witness, and he was a notorious false prophet. Yet, people want to know who was he? What did he do? So, here is the truth about his life. Charles Taze Russell lived from February 16, 1852, to October 31, 1916. He was born up North in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. He was born to Scotch-Irish parents who are the immigrants Joseph Lytle Russell and Ann Eliza Birney. Russell was the 2nd of five children. Two of them survived into adulthood. His mother died when he was nine years old. The Russells lived in Philadelphia for a time. They later moved into Pittsburgh. The family were members of the Presbyterian Calvinist Church. When Charles was in his early teens, his father made him a business partner of his Pittsburgh haberdashery store. By the time Charles Taze Russell was 12 years old, he wrote business contracts for customers and given charge of some of his father's other clothing stores. When he was 13 years old, he left the Presbyterian Church to be part of the Congregational Church. During his days as a younger person, he was known to chalk Bible verses on fence boards and city sidewalks in trying to convert unbelievers. He talked about the punishment of hell awaiting the unfaithful. When he was 16, something changed in Charles Taze Russell. That was when he had a discussion with a childhood friend. They talked about the faults perceived in Christianity (such as contradictions in creeds, along with medieval traditions) led Russell to question his faith. He investigated various other religions, but concluded that they did not provide the answers he was seeking. In 1870, at age eighteen, he attended a presentation by Adventist minister Jonas Wendell. Russell later said that, although he had not entirely agreed with Wendell's arguments, the presentation had inspired him with a renewed zeal and belief that the Bible is the word of God. 

On March 13, 1879, Russell married Maria Frances Ackley after a few months' acquaintance. The couple separated in 1897. Russell blamed the marriage breakup on disagreements over Maria Russell's insistence on a greater editorial role in Zion's Watch Tower magazine. A later court judgment noted that he had labelled the marriage "a mistake" three years before the dispute over her editorial ambitions had arisen. Maria Russell filed a suit for legal separation in the Pennsylvania courts of common pleas at Pittsburgh in June 1903. In 1906, she filed for divorce under a claim of mental cruelty. She was granted a separation, with alimony, in 1908. Maria Russell died at the age of 88 in St. Petersburg, Florida, on March 12, 1938, from complications related to Hodgkin's disease. Russell spread his religious views with charisma. He claimed no special revelation for his teachings or no special authority on his behalf. He wanted to gather believers in God for "harvest time" not found a new denomination. He viewed himself as an ambassador of Christ. By 1870, Russell and his father established a group with a number of acquaintances to undertake an analytical study of the Bible and the origins of Christian doctrine, creed, and tradition. The group, strongly influenced by the writings of Millerite Adventist ministers George Storrs and George Stetson, who were also frequent attendees, concluded that many of the primary doctrines of the established churches, including the Trinity, hellfire, and inherent immortality of the soul, were not substantiated by the scriptures. Obviously, I disagree with Russell as the Trinity, hellfire, and inherent immortality of the soul, are definitely found in the Scriptures. Russell studied the literature of Adventist writer Nelson Barbour called Herald of the Morning, in January 1876. Barbour promoted the falsehood that Christians who had died would be raised in April 1878. Russell sponsored a speech by Barbour in St. George's Hall, Philadelphia in August 1876 and attended other lectures by Barbour.  

Russell, who had previously rejected prophetic chronology, was moved to devote his life to what he was convinced were now the last two years before the invisible, spiritual return of Christ. He sold his five clothing stores for approximately $300,000 (current value $8,858,000). With Russell's encouragement and financial backing, Barbour wrote an outline of their views in Three Worlds and the Harvest of This World, published in 1877. A text Russell had previously written, titled The Object and Manner of our Lord's Return, was published concurrently through the offices of the Herald of the Morning. Russell was eager to lead a Christian revival and called two separate meetings of Christian leaders in Pittsburgh. Russell's ideas, particularly stressing the imminence of the rapture and the second advent of Christ, were rejected both times. When 1878 arrived, failure of the expected rapture brought great disappointment for Barbour and Russell, and their associates and readers. But one of Russell's associates claimed that Russell was not upset. Russell and Barbour disagreed with each other on the theology of "Christ's ransom," so they split apart from each other. Russell withdrew his financial support and started his own journal, Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence, publishing his first issue in July 1879. Barbour formed The Church of the Strangers that same year, continuing to publish Herald of the Morning. 

In 1881, Russell founded Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society (which led to the Jehovah's Witnesses itself), with William Henry Conley as president and Russell as secretary-treasurer; they intended to disseminate tracts, papers, doctrinal treatises, and Bibles. All materials were printed and bound by Russell's privately owned Tower Publishing Company for an agreed price, then distributed by colporteurs. The Society was incorporated in 1884, with Russell as president, and in 1886, its name was changed to Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society. In 1908, Russell transferred the headquarters of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society to Brooklyn, New York where it remained until 2016, when it was relocated to Warwick, New York. Charles Taze Russell used the Watch Tower Society to expand his ministry. He promoted his Bible Study group from New England, the Virginias, Ohio, and other places. People elected him "Pastor" yearly. He promotes his written sermons. Food for Thinking Christians was one of his many works. He had six volumes in the Studies in the Scriptures series like Divine Plan of the Ages in 1886, The Time is at Hand, etc. He worked with Clayton J. Woodworth, George H. Fisher, and Joseph Rutherford, then the new president of the Watch Tower Society. Charles Taze Russell had a unique theology. He agreed with Protestants and Baptists on justification by faith alone, the imminent Second Coming of Jesus Christ, and in Armageddon. He parted ways with Protestants, Baptists, and Catholics by rejecting the Trinity, he believed in the heavenly resurrection of 144,000 righteous people, he made false prophecies about the Second coming of Christ invisibly, and he followed pyramidology (which is mysticism that teaches that prophecies are found in the composition of the Great Pyramid). He also followed Christian Zionism. He attacked spiritualism. Russell was accused of adultery which he denied. In January 1917, Joseph Franklin Rutherford was elected president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, despite disputes over the election process. Further disputes arose over interpretation of sections of Russell's will dealing with the future contents of Zion's Watch Tower magazine, as well as who, if anyone, had authority to print new literature. By the end of the 1920s, nearly three-quarters of the Bible Student congregations had rejected. Rutherford's on-going changes in organizational structure, doctrinal interpretations, and congregational practices, some of which began to appear in material printed by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society as early as 1917. Many Bible Students were disaffected by Rutherford's rejection of Russell's views regarding his role in the restoration of the "truth" and support of the Great Pyramid as having been built under God's direction.

Those remaining supportive of Rutherford adopted the new name "Jehovah's witnesses" in 1931. They renamed their magazine as The Watchtower. Many of the most prominent Bible Students who had left the society held their own meeting in October 1929 to gather other dissenters; the First Annual Bible Students Reunion Convention was held in the old Pittsburgh "Bible House" long used by Russell. These conventions were held yearly, but the process of 'regathering' took nearly twenty years. During the later part of his life, Russell's health has declined, especially during the last three years of his life. 

During his final ministerial tour of the western and southwestern United States, he became increasingly ill with cystitis but ignored advice to abandon the tour. Russell died on October 31, 1916, at age 64 near Pampa, Texas, while returning to Brooklyn by train. An associate of Russell stated that Russell's body at age 64 was more worn out than that of his father who died at age 84. He was buried outside of Pittsburgh in United Cemetery, Ross Township, Pennsylvania. The gravesite is marked by a headstone. Nearby stood a 7-foot-tall (2.1 m) pyramid memorial erected by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society in 1921. The pyramid memorial was vandalized and subsequently removed in September 2021.

False Predictions

  

We can have legitimate discussions about some doctrines. We can agree to disagree on non-essential doctrines pertaining to predestination or the timing of the Rapture, but prophecy can't have any error. There are many non-negotiable doctrines in the Christian faith like the deity of Jesus Christ, the Godhead, the Virgin Birth, Jesus' sinless life, etc. The Bible in the Old Testament and New Testament is clear that one false prophecy makes a person a false prophet. There is no exception. The Jehovah Witness has been notorious for making many false prophecies. The Watchtower made many bold prophecies about the end times that never came to pass. Charles Taze Russell made the false prophecies that 1874 was when Jesus had his invisible presence, in 1878, Jesus will become king of Heaven (when Jesus Christ is already King of Kings and Lord of Lords on Earth as well Heaven), and the end of the world will take place in 1914. Over time, Rutherford replaced 1874, such that his timeline of the end of the world in the 20th century. Rutherford even dismissed the majority of his own 1900's predictions. With the outbreak of World War One in August 1914, Russell reconfirmed that the end would be October 1914. When nothing happened in October 1914 Russell reused the idea that 1915 would signal the end. The Watchtower notoriously have expressed false predictions about Armageddon and other matters, but they hypocritically criticize other religions that do the same thing: "RELIGIOUS LEADERS sometimes predict tragic worldwide events to warn mankind and gather followers. Doomsday prophet Harold Camping and his disciples widely advertised that the earth would be destroyed in 2011. Needless to say, the world is still here." (Watchtower 2014 May 1 p.3). Toward the end of the twentieth century, the Watchtower Society refrained from issuing specific dates for Armageddon but still has not stopped implying dates and time frames. 

More False doctrines

The Jehovah's Witnesses are a large group of people with over 8 million followers worldwide and are active in over 240 countries. Many false doctrines are found in that religious organization. Many of them go door to door in trying to gain more converts. They even dress conservatively at times, but they believe in views that are not true. In this generation, we have to keep it real and be honest about heresies (regardless). We are admonished in I John 4:1, “Beloved, believe NOT every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: BECAUSE MANY FALSE PROPHETS ARE GONE OUT INTO THE WORLD.”  I John 4:2 tells us that “Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.” Jehovah Witness believe in the blasphemy that the Archangel Michael came from Heaven and became Jesus Christ. There is no biblical evidence for that massive heresy. The truth is that God came in the flesh as Yeshua. Jesus Christ is God in the flesh.  Colossians 2:8,9 says, “...after CHRIST. FOR IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY.” Jesus claimed that He was the “I AM” of Exodus 3:14 (see also John 5:18 and Philippians 2:6).

The Jehovah's Witnesses forbid their followers to celebrate birthdays or holidays (even non-pagan holidays. I can understand not celebrating Halloween, Christmas, and other holidays because of the obvious pagan, occult overtones on those holidays). Celebrating birthdays is never a violation of Scripture as the OT and NT never banned believers from celebrating birthdays or special celebrations as long as they are filled with holiness and righteousness. As Romans 14:1-5, 9-10 mentions, "...Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind...For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ." In the Jehovah's Witnesses, members are removed and shunned from even family members in a method called "disfellowship." Stories have shown some Jehovah Witnesses even allowing members to shun family members who left the JWs. Page 27 of the August 2024 Watchtower stated that the word disfellowshipped will no longer be used, and instead be referred to as “being removed from the congregation.” Disfellowship is not in the Bible. There is no Biblical justification to the extend of this removal of the congregation. The NT says limit association with Christians that do wrong not strict shunning. Jesus Christ taught the revolutionary view of love your enemies, never to judge except righteous judgment, and show compassion to human beings. Also, if a person wants to turn their life around, we shouldn't shun them, as the story of the Prodigal Son documents. The Bible commands respect shown to heretics and apostates, even if we disagree with them. The Bible is clear that after the first and second admonition, leave the heretic alone peacefully. The Watchtower lies and said that the Athanasian Creed is about people worshiping three Gods in one: “The Watch Tower of June 1882 stated: “At this time, therefore, the doctrine of three Gods was invented …”(Proclaimers p.125). In truth, The Athanasian creed is about the Trinity doctrine that defines one God in three persons (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). 

 

Masonic ties or not?

One mystery is whether Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason or a member of a Secret Society. What is the truth? So far, there is no conclusive evidence that Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason. Involving research, you have to get verifiable resources to validate a point. According to Professor James Penton (in his book Apocalypse Delayed: The Story of Jehovah's Witnesses, Third Edition, on pages 64 and 415), Russell was not a Freemason. Lloyd Evans and Bruce W. Schulz and R. M. de Vienne in their book deny that Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason. His uncle Thomas Birney, was a Freemason (as he was a member of the St. John Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons). Barbara Anderson was another scholar who wrote that Charles Taze Russell was not a Mason. Masonic groups deny that Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason too. This doesn't mean that Freemasonry is some quaint, holy group. For over 20 years, I have used Masonic sources to proves that Masons use deception on the Blue Lodges, some Masons promote the fallacy of human godhood, oaths filled with death are in Masonic degrees (even if they aren't to be taken literally), they merge various creeds' teachings into a New Age like theistic framework, and they promote other notorious falsehoods in claiming to have the true Light (when the Son of God has the light along with the Father and the Holy Spirit). Charles Taze Russell gave a speech to Masons to try to convert Masons to his religion in 1913. 

Occult imagery has been used in the Jehovah Witnesses like the winged sun disk, the cross and the crown, the two pillars, the All Seeing Eye, etc. Defenders claims that Adventists used this, but the original Christians never used such symbols to express themselves. Each of these symbols have occult relationships.  For example, the All Seeing Eye was used by ancient Egyptians, and other pagan societies:  "...his (Osiris) power was symbolized by an eye over the Sceptre. The Sun was termed by the Greeks the Eye of Jupiter, and the Eye of the world; and his (The Sun glyph) is the All-Seeing Eye in our Lodges." (Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, pp. 15-16, 477). Here is another source on this image: "...upon the Path of Initiation, the initiate develops his tiny correspondence to the planetary `All-Seeing Eye.' (Alice Bailey & Djwhal Khul - Discipleship). Don't get it twisted now. I've got my receipts now. We know that Charles Taze Russell is not a Mason, but he used occult and Masonic words and concepts in his books and writings like New World, Golden Age, initiated, The Divine Order, Grand Master, Grand Architect of the Universe, new light, etc. These concepts are found in Theosophists, Universalists, New Ages, Hindus, etc. Charles Taze Russell used the Masonic Knights Templar logo on his literature.  One Masonic History of Freemasonry book has that logo. Fritz Springmeier's The Watchtower and the Masons exposed many of the heresies in the Jehovah Witness organization. The Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is “God’s visible organization” on the earth (as found in The Watchtower, 10-1-67, p.587 and 1-15-83, p.12). This a notorious heresy. Since the Watchtower denies the incarnation of God, the immorality of the souls, the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the Deity of Jesus Christ, you know that it is not a Christian religious group. That is not just importance to rebuke false doctrine. It is also important to give Jehovah Witnesses the opportunity to repent and leave the Jehovah Witnesses as tons of ex-Jehovah Witnesses have existed in preaching the true Gospel to humanity. 

Real Life Stories involving Jehovah Witness

I have a lot of stories of my interactions with members of the Jehovah Witness. One of my earliest memories of them was when many of them would visit my house every Saturday during the 1990s and early 2000s. If people were alive back then, this was a common occurrence among many Americans. They would try to proselytize me to their religious organization. Members of the Jehovah Witnesses would talk to me about God, spirituality, and sent me their Watchtower magazine to me too. During that time, my mother always told me that the Jehovah Witness was not of God. Fundamentally, she was right as I found out about the truth about its false doctrines in 2001. Many Jehovah Witness people would later meet me in the street, at the laundromat, and at other locations (like in a Wal-Mart parking lot recently in 2025) in trying to convert me to their religion. Their attempts failed, because I don't subscribe to their theology. The JWs have the doctrines like no blood transfusions, no celebrations of holidays (even birthday celebrations are prohibited. They don't even celebrate the Juneteenth holiday), and the denial of the Divinity of the Son of God (JWs deny the Trinity too). I don't adhere to these views at all. There are a lot of former Jehovah Witness individuals on YouTube who woke up and left the organization to proclaim the Gospel to human beings. It is important to use our personal experiences to grow in our lives as human beings in glorying the name of God, not to seek retribution or vengeance against others. We seek truth in a humble fashion with love and a righteous, concrete motivation. 

Verses to Witness to Jehovah Witness members

1. False Doctrine from the Jehovah's Witnesses: JWs believe that their organization is the only visible organization directed by the Holy Spirit: "Consider, too, the fact that Jehovah's organization alone, in all the earth, is directed by God's holy spirit or active force. (Zech. 4:6) Only this organization functions for Jehovah's purpose and to his praise. To it alone God's Sacred Word, the Bible, is not a sealed book." Watchtower 1973 Jul 1 p.402 

Scriptural Truth: Jesus says the kingdom of God don't come from a visible source. Luke 17:20-21 mentions that, "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

2. False Doctrine from the Jehovah's Witnesses: Jehovah's Witness view the Lord Jesus Christ as a created being and not God.

Scriptural Truth: The Bible is clear that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God, being God in the flesh, and is God:

1 Timothy 3:16 says, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." 

And my King James 1611 says, John 1:1, 14, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." 

In another place, Matthew 1:23, it reads that,"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." In a place of prophesy, Isaiah 9:6 mentions, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

 Jesus declared, “I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30 KJV) 

 Speaking to our Lord Jesus Christ, Thomas declared, “My Lord and my God.” (John 20:28 KJV)

3. False Doctrine from the Jehovah's Witnesses: The Jehovah's Witnesses deny the Godhead.

Scriptural Truth: The Bible mentions the holy Godhead: In Acts 17:29: "Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device."

Romans 1:20 mentions that: "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse."

Colossians 2:9 mentions that: "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."

I John 5:7 says that, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. Colossians 2:9 For in him [Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." The JWs organization teaches that the Holy Ghost is not a person of the Godhead, but the Bible says He speaks and directs and teaches. For example, The Holy Ghost SAID in Acts 13:2, ..."Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them."

4. False Doctrine from the Jehovah's Witnesses: The JWs believed that the wicked will be annihilated.

Scriptural Truth: The Bible is clear that the wicked who don't repent will experience Hell and the Lake of Fire at the end. The Watchtower Society rejects the biblical doctrine of the immortality of the souls of the unsaved. Whereas, the Bible affirms that each person’s soul is immortal including those who reject Jesus and are “cast into the lake of fire” on Judgment Day (Ecclesiastes 12:7, Matthew 10:28, Luke 16:20-31, Revelation 20:4). In Hebrews 9:27 we read, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:…”

1 Corinthians 15:21-22 mentions that, "For since by man came death, by man came also resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam ALL die, even so in Christ shall ALL be made alive." 

John 5:28-29 says that, "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which ALL that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the RESURRECTION OF LIFE; and they that have done evil, unto the RESURRECTION OF DAMNATION."

Daniel 12:2 say that, "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

Revelation 20:12-15 mentions, "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

5. False Doctrine from the Jehovah's Witnesses: The JWs believe that only 144,000 human beings since the time of Jesus Christ can ever go to heaven to be co-rulers with Christ over the inhabitants of a paradise Earth. They believe that those in the 144,000 will have spiritual bodies and everyone else will have a fleshy body. 

Scriptural Truth: The Bible in Revelation 7:4 mentions that the 144,000 are from all of the tribes of Israel. There are 12,000 from each tribe. The Bible is clear that in Revelation 7:(, the people in heaven will be a great number that no man could number. 

6. False Doctrine from the Jehovah's Witnesses: The Jehovah Witness denied the physical resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is a total blasphemy. C.T. Russell advocated a semi-Gnostic view of Christ’s resurrection believing it occurred only in “spirit.”  

Scriptural Truth: The Scriptures show that the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead after he died on the cross.

Mark 16:6 – “Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.” 

Luke 24:6–7 – “He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” 

1 Thessalonians 4:14 – “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” 

1 Corinthians 15:3–4 – “I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

Romans 5:8: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

7. False Doctrine from the Jehovah's Witnesses: The JWs believe that the New Translation Bible is the best Bible for believers to follow. 

Scriptural Truth: The New Translation Bible has many omission including John 1:1. In fact the original translations are preserved in many texts like the Massoretic Text, the Textus Receptus, and other Bible versions back then and now, not the New Translation Bible. 

Epilogue

The misconception is that every heresy hunter is evil. We have to stand up for the truth in love. We can't be politically correct for the sake of social acceptance, because not everyone will believe in what you believe in. That is normal. That is part of life. So, we have to expose false doctrines without vindictiveness, without vengeance, without bigotry (as all Jehovah Witnesses should be treated with dignity and respect), and without heated division. Telling the truth in love will get more people on your side. Charles Taze Russell, a false prophet, created the Jehovah Witnesses (in the late 19th century) to advance spiritual deception during these latter days. Many well-meaning people, or every color, are members of Jehovah Witness, but they are deluded to deny the importance of blood transfusion, to deny the divinity of the Son of the living God (Jehovah Witnesses are an anti-Trinitarian group), they subscribe to the notion that only 144,000 people will go to Heaven, and they have a denial of the physical resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ (which is a blatant blasphemy against the God of Heaven). The good news is that thousands of people have left Jehovah Witnesses to embrace the Christian faith with true spiritual manna. We ought to be compassionate with our neighbors and be bold to reject false doctrines too. Now, empathy is vital in our walks. On the road of life, the suffering ought to receive joy, patience, and truth. Along with that, the Jehovah Witness group should motivate us to use accurate exegesis, speak with authority, and fundamentally awaken the minds of souls, who genuinely love wisdom.
