JEHOVAH
What brings one to become a Jehovah
Witness?
Being able to knock on so many doors?
To get a seat in paradise? In their literature it is
explained that it is a religious lie to believe that a soul
has eternal life. Good to remember again that
the Battle on Earth is to Capture the Souls of the Earthlings
Jehovah may be their god but with so many existing religions
not everyone's god.
Perhaps Jehovah is one of the space gods, a genetic space engineer manipulating
lifestreams for his own convenience, who forgot or does not recognize his
Source of Being.
For sure he, as everyone and everything is, is part of God, the All That Is.
To all Jehovah Witnesses also good to remember that:
At this time of transition, be very careful
about who and what
you are following.
In fact, if you are following at all, that is the first indication that you
are off track.
For those of you who are following some god, we recommend discernment.
This is no longer time of great spiritual teachers.
It is now the time of great spirits instead.
This shift from master/student to just plain master,
may cause a temporary unemployment problem in the world,
and elsewhere in the cosmos, but do not be alarmed.
The true masters of light will make the shift with ease
and will welcome your upcoming graduation,
with the same relief that they welcome their much deserved retirement.
Keep in mind that:
The Battle
is to Capture the Souls of the Earthlings
At this time of transition,
be very careful about who
and what you are following.
"Essentially, the souls of people IS the issue involved."
Cosmic Overview
Let us study a bit more about Jehovah, the Witnesses, their programming and their teachers.
Debating with Jehovah's Witnesses
Introduction Note: This article is primarily about the Witnesses, but many points are applicable when you discuss emotionally charged matters with people other than Witnesses. If you have ever tried to discuss religious matters with one of Jehovah's Witnesses, you may have noticed that conversation is severely impeded. What started as a discussion frequently turns into a fruitless debate. Let's consider some questions:
Why does this happen?
Why it is so difficult to get people to change their minds?
Why do people get irrational when defending their beliefs?
These questions (and others)
will be addressed in this article.
A Short History of Jehovah's Witnesses
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (the organization run
by the Governing Body of the Jehovah's Witnesses) claims that it is the sole
channel of information between God and humanity.
A short History of
Jehovah's Witnesses article
The influence of the Watchtower Bible
Even an enthusiastic Jehovah's Witness will agree that the Watchtower
Bible and Tract Society exercises a great deal of influence over the Witnesses,
advising them on such things as:
The appropriate way to dress
What they can eat (or more specifically, what not to eat)
How they can entertain themselves
How they should think
These directives are taken very seriously by Witnesses, since they have great
respect for the ones issuing them.

The Watchtower Indoctrination Process
By Timothy Campbell
In this article, I will be examining the following processes:
How people are encouraged to study with Jehovah's Witnesses
How people are encouraged to join, get baptised, and participate
How people are discouraged from leaving the Witnesses I will say very little
about the validity of the doctrine of the Watchtower Society. This has been
discussed in great detail elsewhere.
AUDIENCE: This article was written for people who have been
approached by the Witnesses and want to know what to expect. It may also interest
people who are already Witnesses and are starting to wonder why they joined.

"PAY ATTENTION TO YOURSELVES AND TO ALL THE FLOCK"
ACTS 20:28 Kingdom Ministry School Textbook
A copy of this textbook is issued to each appointed elder, and he may retain it as long as he continues to serve as an elder in any congregation. At such time as he should cease to serve in that capacity, his copy of the book must be handed over to the Congregation Service Committee, since this publication is congregation property.
The purpose of the Textbook The revised edition of "Pay Attention
to Yourselves and to All the Flock"
is presented as a practical and convenient handbook for congregation
elders and traveling overseers to use in caring for responsibilities as shepherds
of the flock of God.‹Acts 20:28; I Pet. 5:2.
As appointed elders and Christian overseers, you have been given the responsibitity to ensure that the flock is well fed. (Compare John 21:15-17.) Among other things, this calls for teaching the congregation as a whole through instructive meetings. It also involves appropriate teaching on a personal basis to enlighten, give counsel, exhort, and reprove. Improving your ability as teachers is given special consideration in this publication. Another important part of an overseer's work involves taking the lead in field service.
Therefore, emphasis is placed on your regular participation in the public ministry and on how you can help others to have a meaningful share. With so many outside pressures bearing on the brothers, you are often faced with matters involving counsel and judgment. How can you be sure that you are viewing matters from Jehovah's standpoint? When judging cases that come to your attention, how can you be balanced in showing loving concern for the brothers involved while making sure that Jehovah's righteousness is upheld? This publication gives these matters careful consideration.
Material from the three original segments of "Pay Attention to Yourselves and to All the Flock, " published in 1977, 1979, and 1981, has been combined and updated. The outline presentation of the information has been retained. This facilitates locating particular points that you may need to find quickly.
Thus the book will continue to serve as a handbook to be used in connection with elders' meetings, judicial matters, and the periodically conducted Kingdom Ministry School. The wide margins and other blank spaces and pages have been provided so that you can make appropriate notes for your personal use and can add references as related information is published or otherwise brought to your attention.
If it should become necessary to make substantial revisions at a future dale, the Society will issue revised information on individual pages that can be conveniently inserted, thus keeping the information in the book up-to-date. We are confident that you greatly appreciate your privilege of serving Jehovah's people as under shepherds of God's flock.
Your life is filled with many responsibilities; you are also
subject to many pressures. On the other hand, you receive many blessings and
much joy. May you find the information in this handbook to be helpful in caring
for your assigned duties.
And may your faithful service continue to bring refreshment and strength to
the flock of God, your brothers.‹Isa. 32:2.

Why the Governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses fears the Internet?
Something to hide? Is Jehovah perhaps a "wolf in sheep's clothes"
preying on the spiritual weaker souls?
The same is happening with the Sai Baba's devotees as
you may read in the Sai Baba files-Don't visit the Internet!
Baba's devotees may discover that their guru is neither omnipresent nor
all knowing. (A well programmed
and excellent magician?)
Why the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses FEARS the Internet!
Why? They want total, 100% Information control! The Internet
represents freedom of information.
When Witnesses read anything other than the propaganda the Watchtower puts
out, they can see truthful gaping holes and rapidly changing theology.
In other words, the Governing Body has learned that almost every time any Witness begins to cross-examine the organization, their speed of departure is directly proportionate to their personal honesty towards the facts of history.
Background: To understand why the Governing body literally fears the Internet, you must go back a few years prior to the Internet. We have posted this page since 1996 and predicted the crackdown on Jw’s would come regarding the internet. Well the time is past for in November 1999, the "Kingdom Ministry" publication came down very hard against Jehovah’s Witnesses using the internet and email.
We just laugh in pity when JW’s try to claim they are free to
surf the net... Sure... as long they don’t get caught!
Starting in about September 1990 many websites run by Jw’s were forced by
the governing body to "cease and desist" their on line presence. They were
told, "Hey, you got the official website what more do you need?
Open your mouth and get fed like the rest of the sheep. You
are not a feeder but one who gets fed!"
If Witnesses are: forbidden to read the Bible alone. Forbidden to read a personal
letter from a non-JW friend with a Bible verse in it. Forbidden to think for
themselves when it comes to religion but must blindly accept anything the
"organization" teaches.
Is it any surprise that Witnesses are likewise forbidden from
visiting any religious website other than the JW official one at: "watchtower.org"?
The watchtower wants 100% information control. The Internet is a serious threat
to the organization. Information control: An informed Witness, is soon to
be an Ex-WITNESS!!! INFORMATION CONTROL
Why the Governing Body
of Jehovah's Witnesses FEARS the Internet article!
A final word:
Thanks all of you for exposing Jehovah's indoctrination.
And thanks to you Jehovah for pushing humanity to discover Who
We Really Are!
As only by, with and through the power of Love
this and all the other situations can be healed.
For your further study and/or information;
Interesting documents on our Religion page are also the Christ
Conspiracy, the Scripts of Patmos, the Religious
symbols, about Beware of god-old cults unmasked,
about Apollonius of Tyana and finally if there
is any need to
follow a guru, teacher or master.
