Δέκα άγνωστα πράγματα για τους Μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά

w91.jpg
 
Οι Μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά, γνωστοί για τα δημόσια κηρύγματά τους από σπίτι σε σπίτι, έκαναν την εμφάνισή τους στην Πενσυλβανία των ΗΠΑ στα τέλη του 19ου αιώνα.
 

Πρεσβεύουν μια επίσημη χριστιανική θρησκεία, που βασίζεται στη μελέτη της Βίβλου, καταλήγει όμως σε αρκετά διαφορετικά συμπεράσματα από την πλειοψηφία των χριστιανικών θρησκειών.

 

Τα συμπεράσματα αυτά κατάφεραν να τα διαδόσουν όχι μόνο απ' άκρη σε άκρη της Αμερικής αλλά και σε εκατοντάδες χώρες σε όλο τον κόσμο. Παρόλο που αποτελούν επίσημη χριστιανική θρησκεία με εκατομμύρια μέλη σε όλα τα μήκη και πλάτη της γης, οι συνήθειες και τα πιστεύω τους δεν είναι αρκετά διαδεδομένα.

Το listverse συγκέντρωσε και παρουσιάζει 10 βασικά χαρακτηριστικά των Μαρτύρων του Ιεχωβά.

10. Αρνούνται να πολεμήσουν ή να εμπλακούν σε οποιαδήποτε ένοπλη σύγκρουση

 

w1.jpg
 

Ένας Μάρτυρας του Ιεχωβά δεν θα λάβει μέρος ποτέ σε πόλεμο ή άλλου είδους σύγκρουση διότι θεωρεί ότι  δεν συνάδει με την ηθική της αγάπης του Ιησού Χριστού και με την αρχή να αγαπάς ακόμα και τον εχθρό σου.

Οι Μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά βέβαια έχουν πληρώσει ακριβά αυτή τους την αρχή, έχουν εξοστρακιστεί από πολιτικά κόμματα, έχουν φυλακιστεί και βασανιστεί.

Οι περισσότεροι φυλακισμένοι μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά βρίσκονται στη Νότια Κορέα.

9. Δεν χρησιμοποιούν σταυρούς

 

w2.jpg
 

Υποστηρίζουν ότι ο Χριστός δεν πέθανε πάνω σε σταυρό και δεν χρησιμοποιούν αυτό το σύμβολο στη θρησκεία τους.

8. Έχουν ενεργά μέλη σε όλο τον πλανήτη

 

w3.jpg
 

Οι Μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά έχουν περισσότερα από 8,2 εκατομμύρια μέλη σε 239 χώρες σε όλα τα μήκη και πλάτη της γης. Είναι πολύ οργανωμένοι και κρατούν ακριβή αρχεία της δράσης τους. Στην επίσημη ιστοσελίδα τους βρίσκει κανείς στατιστικά που ανανεώνονται συνέχεια καθώς και κηρύγματα σε περισσότερες από 878 γλώσσες.

7. Οι ιερείς τους είναι άμισθοι

 

w4.jpg
 

Όλα τα χρήματα των μαρτύρων του Ιεχωβά προέρχονται από ιδιωτικές δωρεές. Τα μέλη τους συνεισφέρουν στο κοινό ταμείο με όποιο ποσό επιθυμούν σε όποια συχνότητα μπορούν, δεν υπάρχει κανόνας. Το κοινό αυτό ταμείο, διανέμει πόρους στα τοπικά παραρτήματα ανά τον κόσμο.

Σε αντίθεση με τις περισσότερες χριστιανικές θρησκείες οι κληρικοί δεν είναι έμμισθοι, ούτε προβλέπεται κάποια αμοιβή για όσους κάνουν τα κηρύγματα πόρτα πόρτα. Είναι όλοι εθελοντές.

6. Έγιναν στόχος του Χίτλερ και των Ναζί

 

w5.jpg
 

Περίπου 10.000 Μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά στάλθηκαν σε στρατόπεδα συγκέντρωσης ενώ γύρω στους 5.000 έχασαν τη ζωή τους. Στη Γερμανία, εξ αιτίας της άρνησή τους να πολεμήσουν στον Πρώτο Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο, έγινα αντικείμενο χλευασμό, όλοι τους, άνδρες, γυναίκες και μικρά παιδιά.

5. Δεν γιορτάζουν Χριστούγεννα, Πάσχα και άλλες χριστιανικές εορτές

 

w6.jpg
 

Θεωρούν ότι όλες αυτές οι γιορτές, όπως και τα γενέθλια, έχουν παγανιστικές και όχι θρησκευτικές καταβολές και είναι ανακόλουθες με τον Θεό και τη Βίβλο.

4. Δεν δέχονται τις μεταγγίσεις αίματος

 

w7.jpg
 

Οι Μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά δεν απορρίπτουν τη σύγχρονη ιατρική, αντιθέτως επισκέπτονται γιατρούς και νοσοκομεία και υποβάλλονται σε ιατρικές θεραπείες, αρκεί να είναι αναίμακτες.

Οι λόγοι είναι καθαρά θρησκευτικοί. Τόσο στην Παλαιά όσο και στην Καινή Διαθήκη δίνεται ξεκάθαρα η εντολή να απέχουμε από αίμα. Επίσης, στα μάτια του Θεού, το αίμα αντιπροσωπεύει τη ζωή.  Συνεπώς, δεν βάζουν αίμα επειδή θέλουν να είναι υπάκουοι στον Θεό αλλά και επειδή τον σέβονται ως τον Δότη της Ζωής.

3. Πιστεύουν σε έναν επίγειο Παράδεισο

 

w8.jpg
 

Οι Μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά θεωρούν ότι θα έρθει η στιγμή που ο Θεός θα καθαρίσει τη γη από την ασχήμια στο άμεσο μέλλον και θα δημιουργήσει τον Παράδεισο που εξαρχής επιθυμούσε για τον άνθρωπο επί γης.

2. Αποκαλούν τον Θέο, Ιεχωβά

 

w9.jpg
 

Επικαλούμενοι και πάλι τις γραφές, αποκαλούν τον Θεό με το μικρό του όνομα που είναι Ιεχωβά. Γι αυτό και οι ίδιοι λέγονται Μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά.

1. Πιστεύουν ότι πλησιάζει το τέλος του κόσμου

 

w91.jpg
 

Για τους Μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά, είναι πολλά τα σημάδια στα βιβλικά κείμενα ότι πλησιάζει το τέλος του κόσμου όπως είναι σήμερα. Για παράδειγμα στο κεφάλαιο 24 του κατά Ματθαίον ευαγγελίου, ο Χριστός  περιγράφει τα γεγονότα που θα προηγηθούν του τέλους: αύξηση πολέμων, ασθενειών, φυσικών καταστροφών και έλλειψη τροφής. Περιμένουν λοιπόν με ανυπομονησία τον επίγειο Παράδεισο.

      Status Update, just for fun...if anyone is bored and wants something to read, here are some communications that show one example of how a disfellowshipping works. The emails are not posted in order, you have to look at the dates to figure out the order it happened in.😊

      What an exciting evening! (Sorry if it rambles...)
       
      I was scared because I had to go into the "shark tank." Jehovah and Jesus went with me, and they totally rocked it!😆
       
      The COBE elder that kicked me out of the assembly a couple of weeks ago was so angry tonight! (He's kinda like Haman.)
       
      My husband is PIMI but he only attends about half the meetings. He calls me an apostate and gets mad if I say anything that isn't what the GB says. He didn't go to meeting tonight. I don't let my kids go to the KH unless I go, so the kids and I usually watch the meetings online. I didn't know if they would let me and the kids into the KH. (Since they just evicted us from the assembly a couple weeks ago at lunch because I talked to people and looked like I was happy and joyful.) As we were approaching the door of the KH tonight, the doorman saw me and let it slam shut and through the window I could see him, possibly looking for permission from an elder to see if I was "banned" or not. I knocked, and the visiting CO#2 cut in front of the doorman, opened up to let me in, escorting me right past the doorman! ("Jehovah Factor"😄)
       
      (There were two COs because I guess one was getting a "shepherding visit week" from the other one...)
       
      The CO#2 was awesome, a really kind gentleman who acted like a shepherd. CO#1 didn't recognize me at first because during his last visit I didn't attend because I thought the trespassing ban was still in place (although it had been removed but the COBE conveniently forgot to tell me. I found out when I went to his house just before the Memorial to ask, since they never respond to any messages I send either by email or letter.)
       
      (Incidentally, I wrote in an earlier Status Update about my experiences running into the CO#1 at the assembly a couple of weeks ago...)
       
      As soon as we got in the KH, the regular Pharisee-types were shocked and dismayed and frowned because my presence is worse than if a contagious yowling leper came in. However, the CO#1 started asking my kids' names, and the elder standing there conveniently forgot how to talk so the CO went through the greetings and asked me my name and I chatted with him for a moment. He figured out who I was after a bit and I think he was a little shocked. (I have written to him plenty about the stuff going on in the congregation - he never replies.)
       
      So, we walked toward the auditorium and put our stuff down in the middle of the second row from the front. My kids wanted to see their friends, and I got up to walk around a little too. When I passed by CO#2, he stopped me and kindly asked me my name. (The COBE and his wife were standing right next to him.) I answered the COs questions, and we chatted and he asked where else I was from and if I was doing hospitality at all during the week. I told him I came to support the CO visit, and that I would keep him in my prayers. He was so nice. I asked him for a hug, and he gave me a hug. All this time, the COBE and his wife had steam coming out of their ears almost, and finally the COBE grabbed the CO and said "Excuse me! She's been disfellowshipped for a year!" And the CO thought he was joking! So he laughed and said something like "oh, yeah, that's funny" and then the COBE said, "No, really!" And I said, "He is a liar." Because the COBE is a liar. He bears false witness about all kinds of things. And I walked to my seat.
       
      The meeting started shortly after. The kids and I sang heartily so everyone could hear our joy and affection for Jehovah. The hypocritical COBE was called up to pray. I did not bow my head. I kept my eyes open. That man is a snake. I refuse to say "Amen" to anything he has to say.
       
      During the Bible gems my kids got to comment. I put my hand up several times too, and everybody nearly had a heart attack. (Is there a rule that says a "disfellowshipped" person can't raise their hand?) Of course, they didn't call on me.
       
      The second song was a nice loud march. We've always been told to sing loud. I am obedient to that good counsel.
       
      The CO#1s talk started off pleasant enough. Until he mentioned the "recent apostasy and divisions" the congregation has had to deal with (he means me, since I sent emails to the "friends" to tell them the sketchy things the elders were doing.) Wasn't that nice of him to mention me in the talk! My kids got irritated with his smack talk, but Jehovah got us through it. I think he used maybe three or four scriptures, two of them misapplied. Most of the talk was about worshipping the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" and how much they "have done for us".🤪
       
      I went because I love Jehovah and I knew He wanted me to go to at least one of the CO visit days, to show my support to the "friends" that I know this is the organization Jehovah is going to clean and that I haven't left of my own accord. (They know about all the details of the sketchy stuff the fake elders did because I informed them of every sketchy thing the elders did to my kids and me.) Part of why I went was to show love for the congregation. Very soon they are going to be in complete shock. I love those people, even though they are all mostly brainwashed at present. They will have a rude awakening soon enough because the GB and the Bethels will be gone when the UN attacks and the congregations are going to need to be comforted. 
       
      A nice brother said the closing prayers, so I said "Amen" to that one nice and clear. (The poor brothers on the platform were right in front me, there was no one sitting in the row in front of us.) After the meeting, my kids chatted for a little bit with friends and then we were going to leave. I said "hi" to a few people (that really irritates the COBE, that's not why I do it, I do it because Jehovah said to encourage the brothers and we can't if we don't talk to them...) 
       
      When we were leaving, CO#1 pulled my son aside to talk to him for a minute. The CO wanted me to go away, but I stayed right there, because I think it's rude to cause divisions in a family like what he was doing. The CO attempted to talk to my son about homeschooling right in front of me as if I didn't exist. I wasn't having any of it. I let him do his thing for a minute, and then I told him he was causing divisions, and if he didn't respect Jehovah's arrangement for family (like not talking to the mom who is part of the family) that he wasn't welcome to talk to my son. The COs not good association. Then we walked away.
       
      My daughter was in the library with her friend and her friends parents and two aunts (one is the wife of an elder.) As soon as I walked in - hush! Everybody stopped talking. I walked by them and told my daughter's friend I loved her and gave her a hug (I used to take her out in service together with my kids). I looked at the people in the room and said "I love you, even though I know you hate me, except for you...I know you love me" to one sister who I know is kind and real. Then we left and on the way out gave the other doorman who is like a grandfather a big hug and he said goodbye and kept waving as we drove off.
       
      What an evening! (Thank you for any positive thoughts directed my way! Jehovah is the Hearer of Prayer, and He does things with style!)
       
      "You well know that Jehovah your God is the true God, the faithful God, keeping his covenant and loyal love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.  But those who hate him he will repay to their face with destruction. He will not be slow to deal with those who hate him; he will repay them to their face." (Deuteronomy 7:9,10)
