The Bible foretold not only the serious problems we now face but also the better times we can expect soon. It describes a future that is way beyond what human governments could hope to achieve, one that only God can provide. “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”—Revelation 21:4. Jehovah’s Witnesses take comfort in the Bible’s promises of a bright future, and this helps them to see beyond the pandemic. They also support one another by obeying the Bible’s command to gather regularly for worship. (Hebrews 10:24, 25) Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings of Jehovah’s Witnesses, which are being held virtually during the pandemic. Others agree that joining together with Jehovah’s Witnesses for worship has been helpful during these difficult times. For example, a woman infected with COVID-19 accepted an invitation to join Jehovah’s Witnesses’ virtual meetings. These meetings helped her emotionally despite her ongoing health issues from the virus. She later said: “I feel that I am part of this family too. Reading the Bible gives me peace of mind and inner calm. It helps me focus on my hope for the future instead of my problems. Thank you for helping me find that connection with God that I have sought all my life.” Read More...

For almost two thousand years, false religion have kept 'the truth' hidden from the many and now are losing their battle against the Lamb! True Christians are on the march in this dark world, allowing 'the truth' to shine forth. Jesus Christ shared with his followers, "People light a lamp and set it, not under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it shines on all those in the house." (Matthew 5:15) Christendom's Bible Scholars are among the most dishonest individuals on earth. They have been hiding 'the truth' from the many and now since the light is exposing them, they run to the mountains begging, "Fall over us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb," (Rev 6:16) There are Superlative titles that apply to the one true God Jehovah and Jehovah alone. Adonay Theon Adonay in Hebrew Script is spelled אֲדֹנָי and was used in replacing יהוה the four Hebrew letters usually transliterated YHWH or JHVH that form the Biblical Proper Name of God. Yahweh or Jehovah. The title Adonay has Superlative meaning and which it only applies to the Supreme One or Self-Existent One. Jehovah alone is most high and there is no other. May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth. (Psalms 83:18) You are my witnesses,” declares Jehovah, “Yes, my servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and have faith in me And understand that I am the same One. Before me no God was formed, And after me there has been none. (Isaiah 43:10) Adonay and Aăḏōwn spelled אֲד֖וֹן were used but then watered down by trinitarian translators using non-superlative titles such as Adonai ("My Lord") or Elohim (literally means 'gods' but treated as singular when meaning "God") in prayer, or HaShem ("The Name") in everyday speech. A popular expression containing this phrase is Baruch HaShem, meaning "Thank God" (literally meaning "Blessed or Praised be the Name") as in "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead," (1 Peter 1:3) Adonai and Elohim are non-superlative titles and often applied to angels and men and are not exclusive. Moses himself was called elohim or the Greek term theos. The Greek term (theon) spelled θεόν is also a Superlative title referring to the one true God Jehovah and Jehovah alone. It occurs 148 times in the NT Greek Scriptures. When finding θεόν in a Greek scripture, one can replace it with Jehovah for a deeper understanding of God's Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Jehovah, and the Word was a god."(John 1:1) No man has seen Jehovah at any time; the only-begotten god who is at the Father’s side is the one who has explained Him. (John 1:18) Many other scriptures you can look up yourself if you would like to. Here's another example: Englishman's Concordance θεόν (theon) — 148 Occurrences Matthew 4:7 N-AMS GRK: Κύριον τὸν θεόν σου NAS: THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.' Jesus said to him: “Again it is written: ‘You must not put Jehovah your God to the test. (Mathew 4:7) Notice Jesus quotes the Hebrew OT with God's Name in it which under inspiration states “You must not put Jehovah your God to the test the way you put him to the test at Massah." (Deuteronomy 6:16) Also, another reference to God's Name in Greek Scriptures is @ Lu 4:12. The second Greek word for God is (theos) spelled θεός in Greek. This title is non-superlative and can be applied to Jehovah, Jesus Christ, angels, men, and idols alike. In prayer, Jesus invokes the Superlative title θεόν (theon) to his Father by stating, "You, the only true God" at (John 17:3) Jesus Christ is never referred to θεόν (theon). Therefore, when Jesus Christ stated, "the Father is Greater than I am" (John 14:28) Jesus was stating an absolute truth. I hope this Biblical Information helps you to break free from amongst the false religions that has entangled humankind with such hatred against one another. Religion will soon be Destroyed. And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues." (Rev 18:4) This is Your RSVP invitation to learn the peace of mind you so richly deserve in this God Forsaken World. The term "RSVP" comes from the French expression répondez s'il vous plaît, meaning "please respond." Once, you learn 'the truth' freedom is at your front door! "So if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free."

Ps 119:30 – “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” Dear JWs, Can an idol hear the words of God? Idolatry is sourced in the spirit of the world, where Satan wields his authority. 1 John 5:19 An idol cannot speak the words of God, aiding others to reach the light of understanding and truth. John 17:17 An idol has no compassion toward those in need, extending its hand to comfort the afflicted and those suffering in sorrow; fully able to sense their needs. It cannot comprehend the examples of love and compassion we have in Christ. Matt 11:28-30 If an idol is unable to hear and speak the Word of God in Christ, then surely we know it can never walk in the path of Christ, or shine the light of truth when under the power of the wicked one. 1 Sam 12:21; Ps 119:1-5 Can an earthly fabrication, run by men, EVER bring salvation to ANYONE who joins it? And what if it does purport to be the way to salvation; can those who represent it, hear, speak, and walk in the Word of God and the path of Christ? No. It would be an act of rebellion to assign salvation to anything other than the name that scripture declares as our salvation. Its leaders would be false teachers, appearing as “ministers of light”, “holding to a form of godliness, although having denied its power”. Ps 18:2; Acts 4:12; 2 Cor 11:13-15; 2 Tim 3:5 Yes, idolatry IS an act of rebellion against God. Ezek 20:8;Ps 78:58 How do you feel about the following proclamation by your leaders, JWs? Watchtower 1981/11/15: “come to Jehovah’s ORGANIZATION for SALVATION” pg 16-21 par 18 “There are those who rebel against the light, who do not know its ways or stay in its paths.” Job 24:13 If we take another fork in the Watchtower’s twisted road to “salvation”, what do your leaders say? Watchtower 90/11/1 p. 26 – “We cannot take part in any modern version of idolatry – be it worshipful gestures toward an IMAGE OR SYMBOL or the imputing of SALVATION to a PERSON or an ORGANIZATION. Please, think about this the next time you view an exJW as an “apostate”. Do you know that the most threatening “apostates” to the organization are those who have turned fully to God and Christ? Why? They do not hide their “lamp” under a basket, but speak the Word of God boldly for all of you to hear. The Word of God is truth, which exposes the Watchtower’s idolatrous identity. Luke 11:33; Rev 11:1-3; 13:1,5,11,14-17 There is no need to return to “Jehovah’s organization”, since it is, according to the above Watchtower quote, an IDOL. Those who desire to walk in the light of Christ, seek out the pure words of God, untainted by men, their decrees and twisted reasoning. They have come to know that the Father does not stand on equal ground with an organization, but He alone is our Rock and our fortress. Isa 46:5; 42:8; 2:7-10 They have found the true God. They have returned to pure worship. Isa 57:13; Ps 24:3,4 Watchtower 1953/3/1 p. 143: “Ask yourself now, Did Christ Jesus, who set our example and told us to follow his example to gain life, join any church ORGANIZATION in his day? No. GOD DOES NOT REQUIRE US TO DO THAT; but he requires us to worship him… We have the Bible to show us the right way. CERTAINLY IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR A PERSON TO BECOME A MEMBER OF A CHURCH TO GAIN EVERLASTING LIFE.” Who then, is the apostate? One who stays clear of worldly organizations and worships in “spirit and truth”, or is it you, and your leaders who have rebelled against God by glorifying “Jehovah’s organization”? Please, reject the Watchtower Idol, JWs. As with all idols, this one is destined to topple soon. John 4:23,24 Psalm 115: Not to us, YHVH, not to us, but to Your name give glory because of Your faithful love, because of Your truth. 2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” 3 Our God is in heaven and does whatever He pleases. 4 Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. 5 They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. 6 They have ears but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell. 7 They have hands but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk. They cannot make a sound with their throats. 8 Those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them. 9 House of Israel, trust in YHVH! He is their help and shield. 10 House of Aaron, trust in YHVH! He is their help and shield. 11 You who fear the Lord, trust in YHVH! He is their help and shield. 12 The Lord remembers us and will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; 13 he will bless those who fear the Lord— small and great alike. 14 May the Lord add to your numbers, both yours and your children’s. 15 May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 16 The heavens are the Lord’s heavens but the earth he has given to the children of men. 17 It is not the dead who praise the Lord, nor any of those descending into the silence of death. 18 But we will bless the Lord, both now and forever. Praise the Lord! Pearl Doxsey "Can the Watchtower Crumble?" "Who is the False Prophet that Gives Breath to the Image of the Beast?"

“Same vs. different” is a typical worksheet handed out to preschool and kindergarten children. In the pictures below, would you consider them the “same”, or “different”? Watchtower 11/1/1990 p. 26 LOOKING TO AN ORGANIZATION FOR SALVATION IS... Idolatry Our Relative Subjection to the Superior Authorities As Christians, we face up to similar challenges today. We cannot take part in any modern version of idolatry—be it worshipful gestures toward an image or symbol or the imputing of salvation to a person or an organization. Kingdom Ministry 11/1990 p. 1 ONE MUST COME TO THE WATCHTOWER ORGANIZATION FOR SALVATION Directing Bible Students to Jehovah’s Organization Bible students need to get acquainted with the organization of the “one flock” Jesus spoke about at John 10:16. They must appreciate that identifying themselves with Jehovah’s organization is essential to their salvation. (Rev. 7:9, 10, 15) Therefore, we should start directing our Bible students to the organization as soon as a Bible study is established. Although these two quotes appear to be “different”, they are in fact, the same… hypocrisy. Matt 12:37; John 9:41; Luke 12:1 Pearl Doxsey ( 4womaninthewilderness), consider “An Illustration/Great Deception”

Praised be {Jehovah} the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, (1 Peter 1:3) Jesus spoke these things, and raising his eyes to heaven, he said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your son so that your son may glorify you, (John 17:1)  This means everlasting life, their coming to know YOU, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (John 17:3)  I have made your name manifest to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word. (John 17:6) I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one. (John 17:22)  Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you, but I know you, and these have come to know that you sent me. ?I have made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.” (John 17:25-26) You must pray, then, this way: “Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. ?Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.” (Matthew 6:9-10)  Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; ?whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it. (Matthew 17:13-14)  Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father. (Mark 13:32)  For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, (1 Timothy 2:5)  Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)  No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him,and I will resurrect him on the last day. (John 6:44) “That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.” (Psalms 83:18) Why Study the Bible?
