FOR DEPROGRAMMING YOURSELF OR OTHERS MORE QUICKLY AND THOROUGHLY FROM WATCHTOWER MISTEACHINGS FOR JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND OTHERS, WE WISH TO reason on matters in a respectful fashion, using scriptures that solidly explain beliefs, and also include solid reasoning.  Our intention is loving although it may be hard for some.  For example, JWs and many others know Watchtower teaches as good news that "many now living will never die but live forever in paradise earth.”  But in looking up 1 Corinthians 15:22, Paul says there that we all sin and therefore we will all die.   So going by the Bible, it looks false that many now living will “never”die.  The idea of living on a paradise sounds good, but living with Christ in the starry heavens where he says the Father has “many mansions” is more appealing.   Picture being resurrected in a twinkling as a spirit who passes among stars and planets in heaven, an event comparable to going through fields of gorgeous flowers or snowflakes of diverse colors here on earth, but even more awesome.  The eyes of a fleshly human cannot see all the things that a human resurrected as a spirit in heaven can see.  As to earth remaining forever, notice that although Ecclesiastes 1:4 says “the earth will remain forever,” which Watchtower emphasizes, Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33, and Revelation 21:1 counter-balance by saying the earth will pass away but a new earth will come.  So in the long run earth remains forever as it passes away but is re-created. Watchtower teaches JW to teach people that only a “Little Flock” literally numbered 144,000 go to heaven, but read Revelation 19:1 which says the “great crowd” is in heaven.  Watchtower stresses that Ecclesiastes 9:5 says "the dead are conscious of nothing at all" and say all who die are either resurrected as a reward on earth or to heaven, but the wicked just keep sleeping peacefully forever.  God is just, so contrary to what Watchtower mis-states there will be some kind of punishment, not just letting the wicked sleep.  Yes, dead bodies are conscious of nothing, but since human spirits become as angels in heaven (remember 144,000 humans going to heaven), spirits or souls (spirits once with a body) do survive death of the body.  Watchtower calls survival of souls (spirits come from bodies) a teaching from pagans like the Greeks but in fact it’s also a Bible-based teaching.  Read and reflect upon 1 Corinthians 15. Watchtower misteaches that the trinity belief is that there are three persons who are the same God, but instead it teaches there are three persons who are different but who have what Romans 1:20 calls “godship” in Titus 2:13 says our God and Savior is Christ Jesus.  Bibles called “divine essence” or “godhead.”  The trinity teaching says the Father is relatively greatest. Very few churches teach the Father morphs into Christ, a teaching called modalism, not trinitarianism. (Read also Titus 2:13)  Christ and Paul at Matthew 6:9, Mark 14:36, Romans 8:15, and Galatians 4:6 say to call God “our Father,” not just formal names like Jehovah or Yahweh.  The Bible shows conversions took place quickly, no long “Bible study” needed; Watchtower ignores Bible at Luke 10:1-7 as Christ says go from a house in one location to a house in another location, not transferring to door-after-door.  JWs are allowed to use wedding bands, money, names of days of the weeks, all from pagans, but Watchtower says don’t celebrate Christ’s birth, Christmas, though angels and shepherds did.  Job’s kids also celebrated birthdays. (Job 1:3 then Job 3:1, 3)  God had a harvest festival for Israel like Thanksgiving. (Lev 23:33, Deu 16:13) Germany, Canada, etc have one. Leviticus 23 tells of celebrating New Years.  Easter eggs and rabbits began and stay as symbols of new life by resurrection, never were, as Watchtower say, part of sex rites for Christians. Watchtower points to its Governing Body men as if “the Faithful and Discreet Slave” put over all true Christians and what they have, but the most faithful and discreet slave ever of God is Christ himself!   Paul says there’s “one faith” at Ephesians 4:5, and the one faith then and now is general Christianity which has branches that are good, average and bad.   Watchtower has mispredicted and wrongly hinted at Armageddon for up to 80 years after 1914, the 1975 etc.  Christ says only the Father knows the hour of the end. JWs are told if everyone in a group doesn’t believe the same thing, it’s a lack of unity, but Colossians 3:14 says the one true bond of unity is Love, not robotic same beliefs on everthing.  Christ says his yoke is gentle and light, but JWs well know being a JW is actually a very heavy yoke.  Read Romans 14 and John 8:32 thoughtfully about the great freedom that Christians are supposed to enjoy. At Luke 17:2 Christ says put the protection of our Little Ones over any man who abuses them.  JWs know Watchtower pushes all JWs deemed “in good standing” (including so-called “repentant” pedophiles) to preach at doors, thus putting them around kids of JWs and the public!  When JW elders or others molest kids, the kids’ parents have been told to “wait on Jehovah” (code for shut up) to protect the organization, but Roman 13:1 says to obey the government officials who say to turn pedophiles in.  Also, any Bible including Watchtower’s own New World Translation at 1 Samuel 14:31-35 shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate unBLED meat to stay alive, yet Watchtower orders that JWs and their kids not even take an emergency blood transfusion to stay alive. At Matthew 12:7 Christ says God wants Mercy over Sacrifice.   John 8:32 says the real truth sets us free.  Watchtower has so many rules and is so invasive even of married couples lives that JWs don’t feel “free.”  2 Timothy 3:16-17 says the scriptures themselves teach and guide Christians, not Watchtower.   Watchtower is a corporate business operating as a religious organization too that puts its own existence over the happiness its own members.  Christ says he’s the Way, Truth and Life at John 6:68 and 14:6.  That’s not Watchtower’s role.    The sheep know the master’s bell. When people leave Watchtower it orders JW family and friends to shun them harshly, rigidly, but Christ promises those who do will get new and truer friends.  (Mt 5:11)  It’s important to get out of such a group mentally, emotionally and -- prayerfully -- also totally! (Re 18:4)  It’s definitely best to not devote time, money and energy to Watchtower.  Freely make and share copies of this.

THIS IS DESIGNED FOR MAILING OR HANDING OUT TO PEOPLE LIVING NEAR KINGDOM HALLS AND BEYOND, SO YOU WHO GET IT WILL KNOW: The Watchtower Society over Jehovah’s Witnesses directs JW Elders to disfellowship (=severely shun)  peaceful dissenting family members and those with weaknesses for smoking not just "evil" people as they mis-claim 2 Corinthians 2:6 says  A “Majority” (therefore Not All) Shunned a wrongdoer; so Watchtower’s blanket disfellowshiping of all is not Biblical James 2:4-13 and James 4:12  say judging is wrong, and religious judges are discriminatory with evil thoughts 1 Corinthians 6:1 says Christians are to only judge “trivial” things as in business. In short, Watchtower unBiblically destroys many families, for example mis-teaching JW parents to even shun their kids etc, falsely saying extreme shunning is Biblical and a form of tough but true love; don't let your own lives or families be destroyed like this The shunning has been done openly but now, likely out of fear of possible legal consequences, it is more common for JW Elders to announce "So-and-So is no longer a Jehovah's Witness" with the understanding the rank-and-file must rigidly shun or else suffer the same punishment.

DID YOU KNOW the Watchtower Society (WT) over Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs) teaches them that “many now living will never die but live forever in paradise earth”?   But at 1 Corinthians 15:22, Paul says we all sin and therefore we will all die.   The idea of living on paradise sounds good but living with Christ in the starry heavens where he says there are “many mansions” is far more appealing to most Christians.   Imagine resurrection as a spirit being who passes among the stars and planets in heaven.  The stars are even more beautiful than going through fields of flowers, snowflakes, fireworks.  Planet Earth is pretty but in heaven are even more mansion-like planets.  Ecclesiastes 1:4 says “the earth will remain forever,” but Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33, and Revelation 21:1 say the earth will pass away although a new earth will come.  So in the long run planet Earth remains forever because it ends but then is re-created. WT teaches JWs only a “Little Flock” literally numbered 144,000 go to heaven, but Revelation 19:1 says the “great crowd” are in heaven.  Ecclesiastes 9:5 says "the dead are conscious of nothing at all" and WT says all who die are resurrected on earth or to heaven, but the wicked just sleep peacefully forever. Yes, dead bodies are conscious of nothing, but since human spirits become as angels in heaven, spirits survive death of the body.  God is just, so there is some kind of punishment.  He does not just let the wicked sleep.  It’s not just some teaching from pagan religions but also a Bible-based teaching.  Read 1 Corinthians 15. Watchtower incorrectly teaches what the trinity belief is.  It actually says the Father, Son and Holy Spirit although 3 different persons are one in having what WT’s own New World translation at Romans 1:20 calls “godship.”  Other translations say “godhead,” “divine essence” or “divinity,” meaning that all three are 1 in having absolute holiness.  The Father is holy, Christ is holy, and Holy Spirit is holy; and of the three the Father is in the relatively superior position.   WT falsely says the trinity teaching says the three are the one same God.   Only a few churches teach the Father changes into Christ and Holy Spirit, which is a teaching called modalism, not trinitarianism.  Please read Titus 2:13. Christ and Paul at Matthew 6:9, Mark 14:36, Romans 8:15, and Galatians 4:6 say to call God “our Father,” not a formal name like Jehovah or Yahweh.  The Bible says call on God’s name but it means to call to God as a Person for rescuing, not anything to do with pronunciation.   The Bible shows conversions took place quickly, no long “Bible study” needed.   Read your own Bible at Luke 10:1-7. Christ says go from a house in one location to a house in another location, not door-after-door.  WT lets JWs use wedding bands, money, names of the days of the weeks, all of those from pagans, but yet WT orders JWs to not celebrate the birth of Christ even though angels and shepherds did.  WT bans birthdays but Job 1:3 and Job 3:1, 3 show Job’s children celebrated birthdays.  Easter eggs and rabbits are symbols of new life by resurrection, never were part of sex rites for Christians which is what WT claims.  Paul says to boast of the cross as a symbol of the resurrection. (Ga 6:14, 1 Cor 1:17-18)   The Greek word “stauros” can mean either cross or stake but never only stake.   WT says its Governing Body men are “the Faithful and Discreet Slave” put over all true Christians but only Christ himself has that role.  Paul says there’s “one faith” at Ephesians 4:5, and the one faith then and now is general Christianity which has branches that are good, average and bad.  It’s not WT which only began in the 1870s.  There are tapes showing WT officials mispreaching that 1975 would bring Armageddon.  Until 2009 WT heads mistold JWs the number of those going to heaven was sealed in 1935.   WT says all true Christians must believe the same but Colossians 3:14 says the only one true bond of unity is Love.  Christ says his yoke is gentle and light, but being a JW is often a heavy burden, tiring, sometimes very boring.  Romans 14 and John 8:32 mention Christian freedom.  Galatians 5:22 says love, joy, peace etc are fruits of Holy Spirit.   At Luke 17:2 Christ says to put protection of the Little Ones over any man who abuses them, but WT sends men who have been and possibly still are pedophiles to preach at the doors of people.   The Bible at 1 Samuel 14:31-35 shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate unBLED meat to stay alive, but WT misteaches JWs and their children that they must reject transfusions of whole blood.  WT allows JWs to take parts of blood but in many poor nations JWs do not have the money for those, so they and their children keep dying.   John 8:32 says the real truth sets people free, and with Christian freedom people are of course much happier.  The Bible says you need Christ to have a happy life as a Christian.  It doesn’t say WT.   2 Timothy 3:16-17 says the scriptures themselves can teach and guide us.  It doesn’t say Watchtower magazines.  Christ says he’s the Way, Truth and Life at John 6:68 and 14:6, the WT can’t give us Life, only God can.   Nor can imperfect humans give us perfect Truth or teach us the best Way for happiness in Christ.  Christ says his sheep hear and know the sound of their master’s bell.  Please may copies of this to share with others by mail and email.

HOW TO SHOW JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES THEY ARE MISTAUGHT As concerned Christians, we need to realize that it is possible to reason with JWs provided you do so in a respectful, friendly fashion, use scriptures that solidly explain your beliefs, and include solid reasoning.  Those are presented here to make it easy for you the public; plus JWs themselves surely need to read this too so that they will be aware of what to expect at our door.   For example, ask “isn’t it true you preach as good news that many now living will never die but live in paradise earth”?   If I look up 1 Corinthians 15:22, Paul says there that we all sin and therefore we will all die.   So going by the Bible, I can’t believe many now living will “never”die.  The idea of living on a paradise sounds good, but living with Christ in the starry heavens where he says there are “many mansions” is far more appealing to me and most Christians.   Picture being resurrected in a twinkling as a spirit who passes among stars and planets in heaven, an event comparable to going through fields of gorgeous flowers or snowflakes of diverse colors here on earth, but even more awesome.  The eyes of a fleshly human cannot see all the things that a human resurrected as a spirit in heaven can see.  As to earth remaining forever, notice that although Ecclesiastes 1:4 says “the earth will remain forever,” Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33, and Revelation 21:1 say the earth will pass away but a new earth will come.  So in the long run earth remains forever as it goes but is re-created. You say only a “Little Flock” literally numbered 144,000 go to heaven, but read Revelation 19:1 which says “a great crowd” are in heaven.  I have to go by what the Bible says.   You guys stress that Ecclesiastes 9:5 says "the dead are conscious of nothing at all" and say all who die either resurrected as a reward on earth or heaven, but the wicked just sleeping peacefully forever.  God is just, so contrary to what you say there will be some kind of punishment, not just letting the wicked sleep.  Yes, dead bodies are conscious of nothing, but since human spirits become as angels in heaven, spirits survive death of the body.  It’s not just some teaching from pagan religions but also a Bible-based teaching.  Read and reflect upon 1 Corinthians 15. Am I lying or telling you the truth when I say your own Bible at Titus 2:13 says our God and Savior is Christ Jesus.  You’re taught the trinity belief is that there are three persons who are the same God, but instead it teaches there are three persons who are different but have what Romans 1:20 calls “godship” in your own Bible, and what most other Bibles called “godhead."  The three are different but one in "divine essence" which is absolute holiness.  To be holy is to be divine.  The trinity teaching says the Father is relatively the greatest. Very few churches teach the Father morphs into Christ then back, a teaching called modalism, not trinitarianism.  Christ and Paul at Matthew 6:9, Mark 14:36, Romans 8:15, and Galatians 4:6 say to call God “our Father,” not formal names like Jehovah or Yahweh.  The Bible shows conversions took place quickly, no long “Bible study” needed.   Read your own Bible at Luke 10:1-7. Christ says go from a house in one location to a house in another location, not door-after-door.  You use wedding bands, money, names of the days of the weeks, all of those coming from pagans, but you say don’t celebrate the birth of Christ, that is Christmas as did angels and shepherd.  Read Job 1:3 then Job 3:1, 3 on birthdays.  Leviticus 23:33 and Deuteronomy 16:13 show God had a harvest festival for Israel like Thanksgiving.  Many modern nations have it. Leviticus 23 tells of celebrating New Years.  For Christians the Easter eggs and rabbits began and remain as symbols of new life by resurrection, never as part of sex rites for Christians. You say your Governing Body men are “the Faithful and Discreet Slave” put over all true Christians and what they have, but the most faithful and discreet slave ever of God is Christ himself, not your men or their organization.   Paul says there’s “one faith” at Ephesians 4:5, and the one faith then and now is general Christianity which has branches that are good, average and bad.   Despite what you’ve been told, your top heads have mispredicted and wrongly hinted at Armageddon from when their organization started to now including for 1975.  It’s embarrassing for them and maybe you, too, but the truth is the truth. You guys are told if everyone in a group doesn’t believe the same thing, that’s a lack of unity, but Colossians 3:14 says the one true bond of unity is Love, not robotic same beliefs.  Christ says his yoke is gentle and light, but you well know that being a Jehovah’s Witness is actually a very heavy yoke for you.  Read Romans 14 and John 8:32 thoughtfully about the great freedom that Christians are supposed to enjoy, including you guys. At Luke 17:2 Christ says to put the protection of our Little Ones over any man who abuses them.  If you’ve been a JW many years, have you heard that elders shield so-called “repentant” pedophiles and the like among you, sending them among your own little ones and ours.  It’s not scriptural, and it makes no sense.  When JW elders or others molest kids, the kids’ parents are told to stay quiet to protect the organization, but Roman 13:1 says to obey the government officials who say to turn the pedophiles in.  Also, if you will look in your own New World Translation of the Bible at 1 Samuel 14:31-35 you’ll see God forgave Saul’s men who ate unBLED meat to stay alive, yet you and some of your kids sometimes die.  Also read Matthew 12:7 which says put Mercy over Sacrifice.   John 8:32 says the real truth sets us free.  Your organization has laid so many rules and invaded your privacy so much including of even married couples, that I know you don’t really feel “free.”  The Bible says you don’t need the Watchtower in order to have a good life as a Christian.  2 Timothy 3:16-17 says the scriptures themselves teach and guide us.   Your organization puts its own existence over the happiness of you and other members.  Christ says he’s the Way, Truth and Life at John 6:68 and 14:6.  You need to trust in Christ instead of being dependent on the rulings and laws of the Watchtower over JWs. Some who leave your organization will lose their JW family and friends but doing so for Jesus Christ will bring you new and truer friends.  (Mt 5:11)  It’s important to get our such a group mentally and emotionally and prayerfully also totally. (Re 18:4)  Don’t give the beast so much of  your time, money and energy.  Only God deserves such devotion.  As concerned Christians we invite you to instead start coming to fellowship with us.  The sheep hear and know the sound of their master’s bell.  Please share and use copies of this.

WE ARE NOW NETWORKING IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, THE UNITED STATES,  CANADA, GERMANY, PHILLIPINES, INDONESIA ETC; COME HELP US GROW BY NETWORKING TO DO EVEN MORE GOOD THINGS!  Below are helpful letters you can send friends and family who are still JWs to help them to exit from Watchtower or at least lighten up for example about harsh shunning.  Freely use these.   You are also invited to informally join with other ExJWs, Fading JWs and Never-JW Friends in mailing at least 5 truthful, loving letters a month to better inform active JW family members and/or friends, to for example help them lighten up on shunning, begin exiting from the Watchtower Society over JWs. So this section's letters give a quick way to inform JWs in kingdom halls in the U.K., U.S., Germany, France, Canada, etc.  Remember that unlike within the U.S., letters to locations in Canada and some other lands require a return address.  Five letters aren't too expensive or time-consuming but together with the rest of us who are mailing they mount up over a year's time.  Also note that, if cost is a factor, then post cards are cheaper than letters.   A postcard message can be as short as "JWs Invited To christianwitnesses.com," still effective as it generates even more curiousity. To chat with me, J. Mason Emerson or simply Joe, just sign in to facebook.com then put masonemerson@yahoo.com in the searchbox.  Anytime I'm on Facebook when you are you can see that I am by clicking CHAT in the bottom right side of your screen. So you ask, just how effective is a mail-sending network?  Figure it this way: If 100 people signed in to Facebook mail a minimum of 5 letters a month for 12 months, that's 6000 letters; and we can count on it that some of the 6000 getting the letters will, as the letters request, also mail copies or leave them about to be read.  Then on top of that some of the 100 on Facebook will get some of their friends to mailing.  Some not on facebook but reading this here (maybe you) will also participate.  So, ultimately and as the network grows, tens of thousands of letters can be going out.  It works, others are already helping, but your own efforts are needed to make it happen more and faster!

PASS IT ALONG IS YOUR NEIGHBOR IN A CULT??? Yes, if 1. s/he is not allowed to leave the religion without being punished,       for example s/he may be threatened with severe shunning, harassment or otherwise 2. s/he can’t ask questions of the religious leaders without being punished      for example s/he may be told that if s/he does, s/he will be punished by severe shunning etc 3. s/he doesn’t have the freedom to make his/her own decisions.      for example s/he is told if s/he does then s/he will be punished by shunning etc; s/he may be told that to do so  indicates lack of humility, is undesirable independent thinking, told he/she is selfish or just taking the easy way out   Often a cult will also name-call those who quit it for example “turncoats,” “worldlies,” “sons or daughters of perdition,” etc.  The cult will teach members that only it has the correct interpretations of scriptures.  Cults are at their most dangerous when   they pose a risk in regard to the health or life of members and or the members’ children for example by denial of foods, denial of standard medical care, withholding of protection from various dangers   the top leaders feel boxed in, as seen at Jamestown and Waco, (watch for end-of-the world drills, suggestions that survival shelters be made, extra foods stocked etc)   the cult’s very existence is at risk financially, from court decisions, etc (watch for tell-tale demands for more money, volunteer work etc)   the cult’s top heads demand rock-fast loyalty of members or lower rung heads no matter what.    there is witch-hunting, an upswing in trying to locate and go after dissenters, a feeling of fear from outsiders (listen for talk about it, there may be written statements etc)   They may say loyalty to a main head or the organization is needed for the general good or that it is the only way to please God The main goals of a cult’s heads are generally unknown to the rank-and-file and often also to lower rung leaders, but most often are   ease of access to members’ money, labor and energy ease of access to sex with female members or their children   WHAT CAN BE DONE BY YOURSELF AS A GOOD NEIGHBOR   Cults can range from being small up0 into the millions.  Although some have unusual ideas, their teachings can also be mainstream.  The main signs are if they punish people for wanting to 1. leave, 2. ask questions or 3. make personal decisions.   In a friendly voice tell a neighbor who may be at risk “regardless of our doctrinal differences we can’t go wrong by reading just what the Bible says to better see what Christ wants of us.  That way we all know who to go to whenever problems come to us in life.  Invite yourself over whenever you need a friendly ear.”

HERE'S A BILINGUAL IN ENGLISH AND THEN IN SPANISH.  HELPS COVER A LOT TO DE-STUDY JW READERS A LOT. SCRIPTURES SINCERE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES NEED TO READ WHEN OR BEFORE THEY COME TO OUR DOOR SAYING ONLY THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY TEACHES “THE TRUTH.”   Although there are many sincere JWs, they have a leadership which misteaches them and the public.  For example 1 Samuel 14:31-35 shows God forgave all Saul's men who ate un-BLED meat to stay alive; Christ at Matthew 12:7 says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice. In contrast JWs refuse emergency blood transfusions for themselves and their children.  JWs expel people so harshly that it often destroys families.  Paul says the "MAJORITY" followed his recommendation to shun a wrongdoer (2Co2:6), meaning a MINORITY chose not to do so, yet he nowhere condemns that minority. (Also James 2:4, 4:12; Lu6:37; 1Cor6:1)  Many times the Watchtower Society over JWs has mispredicted dates for Armageddon, including 1975, even though Christ says no one but the Father knows. (Mt 24:36) Scriptures say there are three different persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) who are one in what the New World Translation of JWs calls “Godship” at Romans 1:20, and other translations call divine essence or something similar.  This means the three are different but only they are one in being 100% totally holy, that is divinity in the sense of having divine quality.  JWs wrongly teach that the trinity means the three are the one same God or a three-headed God.   Kindly ask a JW to read Titus 2:23 in his own Bible; it calls Christ “God.”  JWs also need to read Isaiah 9:6, Jn 14:9, Heb 1:3, Col 2:9, Col 1:15 Paul says don’t let others judge us as Christians or not over celebrating holidays (Col 2:16), but Watchtower Society tells JWs to do that.  Angels and shepherds celebrated Christ's birth, and Job 1:3 and Job 3:1, 3 show Job's children also celebrated days of birth, that is birthdays.  Watchtower Society men tell JWs that Santa Claus came from a pagan god or wizard.  He came from Saint Nicholas, an actual Christian who dropped small pouches of gold as gifts through wooden windows at night.  They say the Christmas tree began when pagans worshipped trees, but research says they began as the Paradise Tree in Eden in medieval church plays. Paul teaches that all people sin and therefore all people will die, (1Cor 15:22) but Watchtower Society tells JWs to teach “Many people now living will never die but live forever in Paradise Earth.”  Watchtower men emphasize to JWs that Ecclesiastes 1:4 says Earth will never end, but they do not emphasize that Christ and the Bible say heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven and Earth will come. (Read Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33, Revelation 21:1)  Earth will vanish then be re-created; in this sense remains forever.  Watchtower says only a Little Flock go to heaven and a great crowd will live on earth, but read Revelation 19:1 which says a “great crowd” are in heaven.  Earth restored to paradise would be gorgeous but remember that the starry heavens are even more stunning and our Father has “many mansions” in heaven.   Watchtower tells JWs to preach at one door then immediately at the next door, but Jesus Christ told the apostles to go from a house in one town to a different town.  Watchtower orders JW Elders to keep sending "repentant" pedophiles, murderers, etc, to preach at doors, but Jesus Christ says the safety of Little Ones is far more important! (Lu 17:22)    Christ shows that he himself, not the Watchtower Society men over JWs, is the MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave of God. (Mt 24:45)  And he said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Jn 6:68; 14:6)   The one true faith (Eph 4:5) is not the Watchtower Society but general Christianity which has good, average and bad branches.  The perfect bond of unity is not everyone believing everything the same like robots, but it is active love. (Col 3:14)  Jesus Christ helped the poor, lame, blind etc with more than words. He cured them, fed them fish and bread etc.  When people learn the truth, it sets them free; so please share copies of this to help people. (Jn 8:32)

ESTO ES EN ESPAÑOL ESCRITURAS QUE LOS TESTIGOS DE JEHOVÁ SINCEROS NECECITAN LEER ANTES DE O CUANDO LLEGAN A NUESTRAS PUERTAS DICIENDO QUE SOLAMENTE LOS HOMBRES DE LA SOCIEDAD ATALAYA ENSEÑAN  “LA VERDAD.”  Aunque hay muchos TJs sinceros, tienen liderazgo que les enseñan incorrectamente a ellos y al público.  Por ejemplo 1 Samuel 14:31-35 muestra que Dios perdonó a todos los hombres de Saúl, que comían carne con la sangre para mantenerse vivos; y Cristo en Mateo 12:7 dice que Dios quiere Misericordia no Sacrificio. En contraste los TJs rehusan a transfusiones de sangre en emergencías para sus mismos y sus niños.  Los TJs expulsan a personas con tan severidad que a menudo destruye a familias.  Pablo dice que la "MAYORÍA" siguieron su recomendacin de rechazar a un malhechor (2Co2: 6), es decir, un “MINORITARIA” eligió no hacerlo, sin embargo, en ninguna parte condena él a esa minoría.  (Tambien James 2:4, 4:12; Lu6:37; 1Cor6:1)   Muchas veces los lideres de la Sociedad Atalaya sobre los TJs han  predicido incorrectamente fechas exacto para Harmagedón incluso 1975 aunque Cristo dijo que nadie sino el Padre sabe. (Mt 24:36) Las escrituras dicen que hay tres personas distintas (el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo), que son uno en lo que la La Traducción Nuevo Mundo de los TJs llaman “Godship” (Divinidad) a Romanos 1:20, y otras traducciones llaman la esencia divina o algo similar. Esto significa que las tres son diferentes, pero solamente ellos son uno en ser totalmente 100% santos, es decir divinidad en el senso de tener calidad divinda.  Los TJs enseñan erróneamente que la trinidad significa que los tres son el mismo Dios o un Dios de tres cabezas.  Amablemente digale a un TJ a leer Tito 2:23 en su misma Biblica; dice que Cristo es “Dios.”  Los TJs también necesitan leer Isaiah 9:6, Jn 14:9, Heb 1:3, Col 2:9, Col 1:15. Pablo dice no dejen que los demás nos juzgan como cristianos o no sobre la celebración de días festivos (Col 2:16), pero la Sociedad Atalaya les dice a los TJs a hacer eso.  Los ángeles y los pastores celebraron el nacimiento de Cristo, y Job 1:3 y Job 3:1, muestran que los niños de Job también se celebraron sus días de nacimiento, es decir cumpleaños. Las hombres de la Sociedad Atalaya dice a los TJs que Santa Claus vino de un díos pagano o brujo.  Vino de San Nicolás, un cristiano real que se cayó bolsitas de oro como regalos a través de ventanas de madera por la noche.  Dicen que el árbol de Navidad comenzó cuando los paganos adoraban árboles, pero las investigacines historicás muestran que comenzó como el Árbol del Paraíso en el Edén en las obras del época medieval en las iglesias. Pablo enseña que todas personas pecan y por lo tanto todas morirán, (1 Cor 15:22), pero la Atalaya dice a los TJs a enseñar que "Muchas personas que viven ahora no morirán no jamás pero van a vivir para siempre en Paraíso en la Tierra.”  Los hombres de la Atalaya enfantizan a los TJs que Eclesiastes 1:4 dice que la Tierra no terminará pero no enfantizan que Cristo y la Biblia dicen que el cielo y la Tierra fallecerán aunque un cielo nuevo y tierra nueva vendrán.  (Lean Mat 24:35, Lu 21:33, Apocalipses 21:1)  La Tierra desapareció entonces Dios va a restaurla; es en este sentido que se queda para siempre.  La Atalaya dice que solamente un Rebaño Pequeño va al cielo y un muchedumbre vivirá en la tierra, pero lean Apocalipsis 19:1 lo cual dice que el “muchedumbre” está en el cielo.  La Tierra restaurado a paraíso sería bonita pero el cielo con las estrellas son aun más espectaculares, y nuestro Padre tiene “muchas mansiones” en el cielo. La Sociedad Atalaya ordena a los TJs a predicar a una puerta entonces inmediatamente a proxima puerta, pero Jesucristo dijo que a los apostoles a ir de una casa en un pueblo a casa en pueblo diferente.  La Atalaya ordena a los ancianos TJs a enviar pedofiles, matadores etcetera a predicar a las puertas, pero Jesúcristo dice que la seguridad de los Pequeños es muchísimo más importante. Cristo muestra que él mismo, no los hombres de la Sociedad Atalaya sobre los TJs, es el esclavo MÁS fiel y discreto de Dios. (Mt 24:45)  Y dijo "Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida. Nadie viene al Padre sino por mí." (Jn 6:68, 14:6)  La sola fé verdadera (Ef 4:5) no es la Sociedad Atalaya sino la Cristianidad general que tiene ramas buenas, las de media, y unas malas.  El vínculo perfecto de la unidad no es que todas personas creen las mismas cosas como robotes pero es el amor activo. (Col 3:14)  Jesucristo ayudó a los pobres, los cojos, los ciegos etcetera y con más que palabras. Les curó, les alimentó con pan, pescados etcetera.  Cuando personas conocen la Verdad, los liberta; por lo tanto favor de compartirles copias de esto para ayudar a gente. (Jn 8:32)

HARSH SHUNNING IS UNBIBLICAL AND CRUEL A LETTER FOR MAILING WATCHTOWER SOCIETY HEADQUARTERS, LOCAL JEHOVAH'S WITNESS ELDERS ETC Many years ago traveling overseers wrote in to Watchtower headquarters Elders saying it would be good to shorten disfellowshipping time or get rid of it; but those of you there then failed to listen.  You also focus on a set of scriptures while excluding many others about judging and shunning.  You appear to ignore the other scriptures: Doesn’t James 4:12 say “There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?” Doesn’t 1 Corinthians 6:1 say judge only "trivial" things as in business here on earth though the Bible says at resurrection some will even judge angels. Still, this is the earth. James 2:4 tells judgers “Have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” Verse 13 says mercy beats judging. 1 Corinthians 15:33 says people naturally warn others when someone is a dangerous influence but, still, we are not to overly or formally judge.  Luke 6:37 says "Do not judge, and you will not be judged." At 2 Corinthians 2:6 Paul says the "MAJORITY" followed his saying shun a wrongdoer, meaning a MINORITY chose not to, yet he nowhere condemns that minority. Isn’t it true that Christ visited and ate with imperfect people, while Pharisees pretended they were too righteous to do so and condemned him for doing so? Modern Pharisee types say their shunning is loving or tough love meant to shame others, but rigid, harsh-style shunning is anti-Christ as it causes not shame but depression and sometimes suicide. Isn’t it true that a Christian considers Christ himself as the MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave of God, and it’s better to follow Christ and the scriptures themselves than those who pretend they know the Bible better than others but don’t.  Mt 24:45)The rank-and-file ignore you more and more, and it's your own fault.  Are you not ashamed of needlessly, unbiblically destroying family relationships while falsely teaching people that such disfellowshipping or rigid shunning is God's will?  You should be. Please make and share copies of this.  John 8:32 says people who learn the real truth really are set free.

Dear Jehovah's Witnesses: This is brief, truthful and meant in loving-kindness.  Some of you will find it very hard although you sense or know that it is 100% true.  To begin, did you know the Watchtower Society over you has ALL "JWs in good-standing" including so-called "repentant" pedophiles to preach at homes along with mostly unsuspecting JW women and children despite Christ warning to protect Little Ones first. (Lu 17:2) Pedophiles are statistically almost 100% likely to re-offend; sometimes commit other crimes like peeping-Tommery and bedroom wiretapping etc.  Since 1972 a Watchtower directive has let “repentant” pedophiles stay Elders. Yet there are other ways to witness. Christ and the apostles often preached informally; went from a house in one town to one in another, never door-after-door. The New World translation (Lu 10:7) says don’t be transferring about. Hands-on kindness beats words; Christ literally fed with fish and bread not just words.  Feel free to make and mail along copies of this.

MY YOKE IS KINDLY AND MY LOAD IS LIGHT   Christ said, “take my yoke upon you for my yoke is kindly and my load is light.” (Matthew 11:29-30)  So if some other source, whether a person or a group, says it’s really loyal to Christ, you will know if that’s true or not by if the yoke upon you feels kindly with a light load.   On the other hand, if you feel like you can never do enough to please the other source, then, sure, the other source’s yoke is like a heavy burden.  But God’s own will is that you enjoy lovingly giving of yourself to help others and are rewarded with even more love accompanied by good fruits of Holy Spirit. (Ga 5:22).   Christ promises those who follow him that “you will find refreshment for your soul.” (Matthew 11:29) Are you feeling such refreshment?  If not, then you need to admit it to yourself and get back to Christ as revealed in the Bible itself.      Christ says you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:32)  If  some source other than the Bible says only their interpretations are right, that you need those instead of the Bible, then that can make you feel more in a straightjacket than free to do truly Christian activities and live the Christian way of life.   At John 14:6 Christ said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me.”   Can some other source actually give you The Way of Christ, the real Truth, and a happy Life?  Chirst says that role only belongs to himself.  So isn’t it time you went only to Christ himself?   Freely make and share copies of this.

DEAR JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES: Did you know 1 Samuel 14:31-35 shows God forgave all Saul's men who ate un-BLED meat to stay alive; Christ at Matthew 12:7 says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice.  So why die or have others die unBiblically?  The Watchtower Society over you orders All JWs including so-called "repentant" pedophiles to preach at homes along with unsuspecting JW women and children despite Christ warning to protect Little Ones first. (Lu 17:2) Pedophiles are statistically almost 100% likely to re-offend; sometimes commit other crimes like peeping-Tommery and bedroom wiretapping etc.  Since 1972 a Watchtower directive has let “repentant” pedophiles stay Elders. There are other ways to witness. Christ and apostles often preached informally; went from a house in one town to one in another, never door-after-door. Watchtower's own New World translation (Luke 10:7) says don’t be transferring about. Hands-on kindness beats words; Christ literally fed with fish and bread not just words. Paul says don’t let others judge us as Christians or not over celebrating holidays (Col 2:16), but Watchtower says do just that. Not only did angels and shepherds celebrate Christ's birth but Job 1:3 and Job 3:1, 3 show Job's children also celebrated days of birth, that is birthdays.  Happy times build happier families.   Watchtower’s teaching “many now living will never die” is the exact opposite of Paul's teaching all sin and therefore all will die (1Co 15:22). The “Good News” is instead the resurrection hope.  Earth will never end (Ec 1:4) but the Bible adds heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven and Earth will come. (Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1) So it's in the sense of being recreated that Earth remains forever. Revelation 19:1 says there will be a "great crowd" in heaven not that only a “Little Flock” go to heaven.  Read the Christian hope for heaven at Jn 14:2, 3; 1Co 15:20, 2Co 5:1, 2; Ga 1:8, Philippians 3:20, Jas 1:17.  Unlike Watchtower Christ says his all followers must partake of the wine and bread. (Jn 6:53, 54). Note that regarding Watchtower’s style of shunning, James 4:12 says “There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?” 1 Corinthians 6:1 say judge only "trivial" things as in business here on earth though the Bible says at resurrection some will even judge angels. Still, this is the earth.  James 2:4 tells judgers “Have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” Verse 13 calls judging harmful.  We naturally warn others when someone is a danger (1Co15:33) but, still, we are not to overly or formally judge. (Lu 6:37)  Paul says the "MAJORITY" followed his saying shun a wrongdoer (2Co2:6), meaning a MINORITY chose not to, yet he nowhere condemns that minority.   Christ visited and ate with imperfect people; Pharisees acted too righteous to and they condemned him for it. Modern Pharisees say shunning is tough love meant to shame others, but rigid, harsh-style shunning is anti-Christ as it causes not shame but depression, sometimes suicide.  Christians must follow Christ, scriptures and common sense not those who write they know the Bible but don’t.  (Re 14:4) Scriptures say there are three who are different (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but one in what various translations at Romans 1:20 call Godship (New World), godhead, divinity or divine essence, meaning they and only they three are 100% totally holy. Watchtower men falsely tell JWs and others trinity means the three are one same God person or a three-headed God. Christ shows himself, not Watchtower heads is the MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave of God (Mt 24:45): "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Jn 6:68; 14:6) Lovingly told truth (Jn 8:32) sets free so please make and share copies of this.

DEAR JWs AND THOSE STUDYING WITH JW'S, HOW MANY OF THESE DO YOU KNOW 1 Samuel 14:31-35 shows God forgave all Saul's men who ate un-BLED meat to stay alive; Christ at Matthew 12:7 says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice. The senseless shedding of even one life means blood guilt. Paul says the "MAJORITY" (2Co 2:6) followed his saying shun a wrongdoer, meaning a MINORITY chose not to, yet he nowhere condemns that minority. Watchtower actually has formal “Judicial Committees” of JW Elders although 1 Corinthians 6:1 tells Christians to only judge "trivial" things as in business, and James 2:4-13 calls judging harmful. Those on Judicial Committees need to note James 2:4 says “Have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” It's natural and scriptural to warn others of really evil association but Watchtower goes beyond the scriptures, is way too harsh and rigid; its type of disfellowshipping has destroyed lives, caused depression and suicides. Watchtower pressures "all" JWs to preach door-to-door, again: ALL JW's, and all includes their sending so-called "repentant" pedophiles preaching along with unsuspecting JW women and children to unsuspecting home of the Public and the Public's children. In contrast Christ says protect the Little Ones. Read Luke 17:2! Pedophiles are statistically almost 100% likely to re-offend. There are alternative ways to witness. Christ and apostles often preached informally; they went to a house in one town then walked to another in another town, didn’t knock door-after-door. In fact the New World translation says at Luke 10:7 to not be transferring about; and besides, witnessing by hands-on loving-kindness beats words. Christ also literally fed with fish and bread. Paul says do not let others judge us as Christians or not over celebrating holidays (Col 2:16), but JWs are mistaught to do just that. Not only did angels and shepherds celebrate Christ's birth but Job 1:3 and then Job 3:1, 3 (please read) show Job's children celebrated days of their days of birth too. Scriptures say there are three who are different (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but one in what various translations at Romans 1:20 calls Godship (New World), godhead, divinity or divine essence, meaning they and only they three are 100% totally holy. Watchtower falsely tells JWs and others it means the three are one same God person, like a three-headed God. The teaching that many now living will never die is the exact opposite Paul's teaching all sin and therefore all will die (1Co 15:22). The “Good News” of God’s Kingdom is not a coming Paradise Earth with eternal life, but the Christian hope of resurrection with Christ. Although Ecclesiastes 1:4 says Earth will never end, Christ and the Bible further say heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven and Earth will come. (Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1) It's in the sense of being recreated that Earth remains forever. Revelation 19:1 says there will be a "great crowd" in heaven but JWs mis-teach only a “Little Flock” go to heaven. Christian hope of going to Christ in heaven is also noted at Jn 14:2, 3; 1Co 15:20, 2Co 5:1, 2; Ga 1:8, Philippians 3:20, Jas 1:17. Christ says followers must partake of the wine and bread. (Read John 6:53, 54) but Watchtower has pressured JWs so much that 99% don't do so. To truly follow the Lamb and only the Lamb wherever he leads means to know that Christ himself, not Watchtower heads, is the MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave of God. Christ tells us "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Jn 6:68; 14:6) So when asked “where” you would go if you left Watchtower, remember Christ said it's not To Where but to Whom you will go. For Christians the answer is Christ himself. Christ says you will know the truth and it will set you free. It can help free others as well. Please make and share copies of this. (John 8:32)

These correct some common misteachings.  Freely and lovingly distribute copies. These correct some common misteachings.  Freely and lovingly distribute copies. 1. THE GOOD NEWS. You may have had some come tell you at your doors their Good News that "many now living will never die but live forever in paradise on earth."  Look up 1 Corinthians 15:22 where Paul tells Christians there that all sin and therefore all will die.   The Bible shows not only Paul, but Christ and others said the Gospel or Good News is the resurrection hope, not living forever on earth.  1 Corinthians 15:42 says “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.”  Genesis 3 says Adam and Eve were told they would never die but could live forever in paradise (Eden in their case) and this false information came not from God but the serpent.  People were resurrected on earth and possibly some might be latter, but the Bible directs Christians to strive for and focus on the glories of the starry heavens in fellowship with Christ. 2. THE FUTURE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. Some note that Ecclesiastes 1:4 says Earth will never end, but not that it is also true that Christ and the Bible say heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven and Earth will come. (Read Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33, Revelation 21:1)  So precisely as Ecclesiastes says, even as generations of humans have come and gone, our planet Earth will also vanish but then be re-created; and in this sense  remains forever.  Read to see that Revelation 19:1 shows a “great crowd” (not a little flock) of resurrected humans are in heaven, not on Earth.  For even more understanding read John 14:2, 3; 1 Corinthians 15:20, 2 Corinthians 5:1, 2; Galatians 1:8, Philippians 3:20, James 1:17.  Earth returned to paradise will be gorgeous but remember that the starry heavens are even more stunning and our Father has “many mansions,” including many other lovely planets, vast systems of stars and galaxies.   3. BLOOD. Read 1 Samuel 14:31-35 which shows God forgave men who ate unbled meat with blood to stay alive.  Emergency transfusions of blood are scriptural.  At Matthew 7:12,  Christ says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice.   God does not want anyone to bleed to death.  Acts 15 says abstain from blood and although originally referring to meat markets, it is not unreasonable to normally go by today due to micro-organisms at time in blood, but for emergency life-and-death situations, read and note these other verses.   Blood expanders like saline solution don't act fast enough to stop women with rapid bleeding after giving birth, people gushing blood after bad accidents etc. 4. OUR DEAD LOVED ONES. Some stress that Ecclesiastes 9:5 says “the dead are conscious of nothing at all,” and indeed when you are dead you are dead with the brain non-functioning or unconscious, but balancing that are other scriptures saying Christians are resurrected as spirits instantly upon death as when 1 Corinthians 15:51 says “Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.” Revelation 19 tells of people in heaven as angels conscious and praising God.     5. GOD'S NAME.  Read Matthew 6:9, Mark 14:36, Romans 8:15, and Galatians 4:6.  Christ says pray to not a formal guessed at name of God but to our Father.  Other apostles similarly say use "Abba" or Dad/Daddy.  We are to call on God's name to be saved in the sense of calling for God's help, not uttering some pronunciation like an incantation.   6. GOD'S NATURE.  Read Titus 2:13 as to who Jesus is.  The Bible speaks of God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit.  They are three different persons one in perfect holiness or what Romans 2:10 calls "divine essence," or in some Bibles “godship” or “godhead.”  The Father is greatest in relative position but all three are equal in being uniquely holy, sharing together eternity, power and substance (holiness).  Some mis-tell that the trinity belief is that the three are the exact same person.  The truth is that only a very few churches teach belief the Father morphs into Christ etc, an idea that is not trinitarian but called Oneness or modalism.   Some misteach God is a person of flesh, but John 4:24 says God is Spirit not flesh.   7. PREACHING. Luke 10:1-7.  Christ says go from a house in one location to a house in another location, not door-after-door.  Note verse 7 closely. 8. PROTECTING LITTLE ONES.  Luke 17:2.  Contrast what Christ says to any group that for example sends so-called "repentant" pedophiles along with unsuspecting innocent colleagues to preach at our doors endangering all our little ones.   If someone harms a Little One, turn him into the police, not any religious groups’ clergy elder heads who for the sake of the group’s "image" quite possibly will tell you not to do so. (Ro 13:1)  Though polygamy is illegal some groups say after death their men followers’ spirits get to have multiple wives, other groups hold secret “spiritual” weddings to live polygamously now.  God made Adam only one wife.  Paul told Christian men to have one wife not wives. (1Co 7:2) 9. BIBLE TRANSLATION.   Read Revelation 22:18, 19 which shows God condemns, for example, when a group adds a guessed at, formal name of God in hundreds of places where no early manuscript has it in the New Testament.   10. HOLIDAYS.  Colossians 2:16.  It says we're not to let others judge us as Christians over celebrating holidays.   Note that angels and shepherds at Luke 2 celebrated Christ's birthday.  Thanksgiving has been celebrated in many lands even before the USA.  God started an annual harvest festival as Leviticus 23:33 and Deuteronomy 16:13 show, and also started a New Year's celebration for Israel. (Leviticus 23). 11. PERFECT LEADER.  Matthew 24:45 shows Christ speaking of a faithful and discreet or loyal and wise servant over Christians.   Christ himself is God's MOST faithful and discreet or wise servant ever.  We can go straight to Christ at anytime instead of a misleading or abusive group of human leaders.  12. PERFECT ORGANIZATION.  God's Kingdom organization including angels is still safely in heaven although by Bible-training and conscience it’s been ruling in the midst of Christians for some 2,000 years.  Paul said there's "one faith" (Eph 4:5) and when he said so there was and still is the one faith.  It’s not some  group that began in 1800s or 1900s but Christianity in the universal or general sense.   Different branches of it differ some in non-essential beliefs but Colossians 3:14 says that there is perfect UNITY from LOVE.  Absolute robotic sameness in all same beliefs is not unity but unChristian Uniformity.  13. FREEDOM IN CHRIST.  Christ grants us great Christian freedom.  Read all Romans 14 and John 8:32.  Instead of being judgmental we allow freedom to differ beyonds basics like at Hebrews 16:1. 14. DISFELLOWSHIPPING. Christians naturally warn others including their children when someone is a bad influence (1 Cor 15:33)  but scriptures also say it’s wrong to formally or unduly judge others. (Jas 2:4-13, 4:12; Mt &:1-5; Lu 6:37)  Christ said families would be split by some doing right or wrong things, but never called for destroying families by severe, lasting shunning.  (Mt 10:34-36)  Christians while on Earth can judge "trivial" things as in business, not formally judge each other or destroy families. (1Cor 6:1)  Paul says the "MAJORITY" at Corinth followed his advice to shun a wrongdoer, meaning that a MINORITY chose not to, and yet he nowhere condemns them. (Read 2 Corinthians 2:6)  15. SHARING LOVINGLY: Freely leave about or mail copies of this as truth sets people free. (John 8:32)  christianwitnesses.com

Besides the severe shunning, that the Watchtower Society over JWs uses, the Watchtower heads have caused many JWs to bleed to death from not taking a transfusion, sheltered so-called "repentant" pedophiles among unsuspecting JW women and children, etc.  As said, they also keep destroying countless families and lives via their "disfellowshipping" (severe shunning) policy.  For active JWs to see clearly that despite some cherry-picked scriptures, the Bible also has scriptures against the Watchtower policies and misteachings, it is necessary to fight fire with fire, scriptures with scriptures, false facts with real facts, which is what is done here. Remember that even if some of you who read this may no longer be as religious, still, these effectively help those who do still think the Watchtower Society over Jehovah's Witnesses goes by Bible "Truth," and so it is that these items can quickly help JWs un-study or de-program as they use scriptures to counter what they have been going by, having the misinformation drummed into them year after year.    As said, you fight fire with fire; misapplied scriptures with accurate counter-balancing scriptures.  Doing nothing, would be to do exactly that, nothing.  So, these, on the other hand, do something! Some of the following are long, others short.  Some do and some don't mention the name of any specific group such as Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons, etc, etc.  Just read until you find one that you feel would work best for your own situation and needs.  Modify any if and where you feel the need. It's very true that Watchtower-appointed Elders and official publications try to discourage people from distributing these and similar items by mail and email by mis-informing their members to get them to either (1) throw away the items when they come upon or are given copies of them, and (2) untruthfully claiming that the items don't work.  Contrary to the Watchtower's propaganda to discourage Ex-JWs and others from providing the material to active JWs such as family members, the items do work.  Otherwise why would Watchtower be so insistent that they not be read, and keep warning members to not read them?   That's common sense, and it better to go by that than what Watchtower has mistaught about it. Many, not just this author, can tell you from experience that they work so long as kindly worded, accurate and with some scriptures etc for reference.   I've personally used them and guaranteed you they work.  Sometimes, for example, with the blood issues lives have been quickly saved.  I can honestly tell you that's true because I was told by an internet posting that I had saved a person's life this way. As briefly said, it's been unfortunately that a lot of ExJWs, doubtlessly including some reading this, although leaving Watchtower have kept in their minds the Watchtower-planted idea, propaganda or brainwashing that it's a waste of time and effort to mail items exposing Watchtower misteachings and wrongs.  For emphasis, again, just recognize that this is what they want people to think, not the Truth about it any more so than with their misteachings on many other things like the false date-settings including 1975. People in general as well as JW family members and friends still in Watchtower do read the material when it comes in the mail.  Yes, if you stick it in their hands JWs will likely throw it away in such a situation when at a householder's door, but when they get a letter from someone in the privacy of their own homes, it gets read.   In fact the more JWs are told by Watchtower and the Elders it appoints not to read informative letters, the more eager most are to do just that. JWs who get these items are immediately helped to start making some changes you'll like.   They may stay in "nominally," but quickly move to mentally leave it by doing less for such a cult, giving it less or nothing at all for monetary donations, ignoring the Watchtower's orders to "strictly" shun family and friends who quit them.   If not a "knock-out" punch, an Exit-maker item(s) at the least causes many to soften up and encourages them to leave later.  Also, the more seeds you sew, the more chances that some will sprout. Some ExJWs and other friends find it good to not mail items directly to family members and friends still in it, but to start by mailing to other JWs connected closely to the loved ones.  Those get softened and weaned off Watchtower, then the still-JW family members and relatives, seeing these others have left or stopped so much support of Watchtower, feel better about doing the same.   The real, lovingly presented truth definitely does set people free.  Please also note that letters mailed in Canada need a return address, unlike with letters mailed from within the United States.  If in another land such as the Phillipines, the U.K. etc go by whatever is right in your own location. --  Thanks for reading this, and now here's some Exit-makers!

SHARE COPIES ABOUT JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES DISFELLOWSHIPPING/SHUNNING ETC: JWs used the word “disfellowshipping” for their formal practice of severe shunning, cutting off normal ties with one’s family.  Although older Christians naturally warn others when someone is a dangerous influence to avoid (1 Corinthians 15:33), JWs go against Christ who at Luke 6:37 says "Do not judge, and you will not be judged." (Lu 6:37)  Similarly James 4:12 says “There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?” James 2:4 tells judgers “Have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?”    Though Christ said families would split over doing right or wrong things he never said destroy families by shunning. (Mt 10:34-36)  JWs actually have formal “Judicial Committees” of Elders although 1 Corinthians 6:1 tells Christians to only judge "trivial" things as in business, James 2:4-13 calls judging harmful. Paul says the "MAJORITY" (2Co 2:6) followed his saying shun a wrongdoer, meaning a MINORITY chose not to, yet he nowhere condemns that minority.  Christ visited and ate with imperfect people.  JWs don’t disfellowship just over evildoing as some claim but also over weaknesses like smoking; brand “apostates” those dissenting from Watchtower’s misteachings. They claim it’s loving and produces righteous fruitage though tough, but it has caused and worsened depression, caused suicides.  Christ associated with the imperfect, showed us to rejoice over return of the prodigal son.   BAD FRUITAGE:  There are good regular JWs but in 1972 the Watchtower Society over JWs sent Elders a directive that fellow Elders who confess to pedophilia need not be deleted as Elders if several years (later defined as 2-3 years) had passed and they appeared to still “enjoy Jehovah’s blessing,” that is their “sin” (“crime”) had not become widely known.  So pedophiles and their protectors grow in numbers, %, power, hidden among JW men, women, kids.  Few regular JWs know of the directive.  Some head up kingdom halls, preach at the public’s doors although Department Of Justice statistics show they almost always re-offend.  Christ says protect Little Ones not pedophiles. (Lu 17:2) The internet is full of 100% reputable news of cases and convictions.   Worried insiders tipped off that Watchtower has a database of some 23,000 pedophiles it shelters among JWs in the U.S. (lovenorris.com) For example Phillip and Nancy Garrido who victimized Jaycee Lee Dugard were long-time JWs.  There are also so-called “repentant” peeping Toms, wiretappers, murderers etc endangering other JWs, their kids, the public.  Some mentally unstable Elders have interpreted the vacillating bedroom laws to mean married JW couples having other than missionary-style sex are to be sifted out for having "dog sex." (Rev 22:15)  Nuts misuse Acts 5:29 saying obey "God rather than men" to justify internal detective work, witch-hunt. (Contrast Ro 13:1; 1Pe 2:13)   BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS:  JWs say it’s right for themselves and their kids to die rather than take an emergency whole blood transfusion; but God forgave all Saul’s men who ate unbled meat because it was for them to stay alive.  Read 1 Samuel 14:31-35.  Christ at Matthew 7:12 says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice.  Some 200,000 may have died from 1945 to now. (David A. Reed.  Blood On The Altar) THE DIVINE NAME: Christ says use “Father.” (Mt 6:9)  Paul says use “Abba” meaning Dad or Pappa. (Ro 8:15, Ga 4:6)   JWs say use Jehovah, a common formal name for God in King James at Psalm 83:18.  They say Romans 10:13 saying “call on the name of the Lord” to be saved means use “Jehovah” though it refers not to a literal pronunciation of name but to calling on the person of God to save us.    FUTURE: The main JW teaching is that “many now living will never die but live forever on paradise earth,” the exact opposite of the apostle Paul who says all sin and therefore all will die (1Co 15:22).  The “Good News” of God’s Kingdom is not a coming Paradise Earth with eternal life, but the Christian hope of resurrection with Christ.  JWs stress that Ecclesiastes 1:4 says Earth will never end, but they also ignore that Christ and the Bible say heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven and Earth will come. (Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1)  In the sense of being recreated, Earth remains forever.  Revelation 19:1 says there will be a "great crowd" in heaven but JWs mis-teach only a “Little Flock” go to heaven.   Christian hope of going to Christ in heaven is also noted at Jn 14:2, 3; 1Co 15:20, 2Co 5:1, 2; Ga 1:8, Philippians 3:20, Jas 1:17.    TRINITY: Scriptures say there are three who are different (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but one in what various translations at Romans 1:20 calls Godship, godhead, divinity or divine essence, meaning they and only they three are 100% totally holy.  JWs are falsely taught it means the three are one same God person, like a three-headed God.  BIBLE: Revelation 22:19 says anyone adding to or deleting from the Bible is accursed and looses eternal life.  Though 5,000+ early manuscripts exist in whole or part, none have the word Jehovah or Yahweh in the New Testament, but JWs’ Watchtower heads added it there in their New World Bible translation that they claim experts laud though most criticize it.  MISPREDICTIONS:  JWs have mispredicted when Armageddon would occur destroying the world as we know it but Christ says beyond God “no one knows” when that will be! (Mt 24:36)   HOLIDAYS.  Paul says do not let others judge us as Christians or not over celebrating holidays (Col 2:16), but JWs are taught to.  They say don’t celebrate birthdays though angels and shepherds at Luke 2 celebrated Christ's, many believe Job 1:3 and then Job 3:1, 3 clearly show Job's children celebrated days of their birth, and Jude 12 says the earliest Christians enjoyed balanced merriment at "love feasts." JWs denounce holidays as of pagan origins yet use names of days and months, wedding rings and money, all from pagans.   Holidays form positive memories and affection for stronger families.  Mental health experts note much higher mental depression among JWs.  JWs teach Thanksgiving is super-nationalistic but God granted Jews an annual day of thanks (also a New Year’s day) and many other nations such as Canada, the Philippines and Germany celebrate Thanksgivings.  JWs do not teach Halloween began when Christians costumed kids like faithful Bible figures tortured and martyred for staying faithful, though some Christians have freedom not to or to substitute other parties since modern Halloween also has negatives about it.  JWs insist only a literally numbered 144,000 anointed people go to heaven, the other 99% of JWs, unscripturally denied Christian communion, meaning not to partake of the wine and bread.  (John 6:53, 54) This is symbolically denying the body of Christ.   Though Christmas may have come from the non-Christian Saturnalia as JWs say, other sources say it may be from Jewish Hannukah which first began December 25, but the date varies yearly now as based on the moon.  In the winter Christ, himself a rabbi, was at the Feast of Dedication (Jn 10:22), another term for Hannukah, with its special lights, foods, gifts.  JWs say Santa Claus came from a pagan god or wizard but he came from Saint Nicholas, a famous actual Christian gift-giver.  They say the Christmas tree began in pagan tree worship, but research says it began as the Paradise Tree in Eden in medieval church plays.   Though JWs like to say most encyclopedias and dictionaries say the name Easter is from an ancient non-Christian pagan goddess Eastre, they ignore the name may also have come from the Old English or Anglo-Saxon word for East or Eastern, the direction Christianity came from into Europe.  Matthew 24:27 indicates Christ may return from the east to resurrect.  JWs say eggs and rabbits used during Easter are from pagan fertility rites but they have always been used to symbolize new life as in resurrection.   JWs claim Christ didn't die on a cross but an upright stake or pole and the cross is a horrible murder weapon.   The word “stauros” can mean cross or stake, but archaeology and forensics show it definitely was a cross.  Paul says boast of the cross because Christ made it a symbol of resurrection hope. (Ga 6:14, 1Co 1:17-18)   SLEEP OR JUSTICE:  JWs teach that all people, therefore even truly evil persons just sleep in peace forever after death.  If so, how would that be justice for victims?  Would getting to peacefully sleep be justice from God regarding violent, wicked people?   The body of a dead person is dead, asleep as scripture says (Ec 9:5), but there is a spirit that remains after a living soul (body with spirit) passes.  That spirits survive is biblical not pagan as JWs mis-teach. (Ps 90:10, 1 Ki 17:21-22)   PREACHING “DOOR TO DOOR.”  Christ and apostles preached at a house in one town then walked to another, didn’t knock door-after-door.  (Lu 10:7)  Witnessing by kindness beats words.  ONE FAITH: Paul said there’s “one faith” (Eph 4:5) meaning general Christianity, JWs not even existing till the late 1800s, yet JWs say theirs is the only true faith, “The Truth.”  WHERE TO GO: Christ answers: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Jn 6:68; 14:6)   So Christ says the answer is not to “where” one will go after leaving Watchtower but as he said, to Whom one will go: himself.  False friends may speak badly of those who leave for him, but he blesses those who do. (Mt 5:11, Re 18:4),  Please use copies.

THIS ONE ALSO TELLS ABOUT OUR FELLOWSHIP: GOOD NEWS PLUS TWO GRAVE CONCERNS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC: No, we’re not Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs) who are headed by the Watchtower Society, who distribute magazines etc, asking donations at doors.  Led overall only by Christ, the most faithful and discreet or wise of all who ever served God (Mt24:45, Mt23:10), our own until now mostly internet-based fellowship is Christian Witnesses.  Thousands associate already.  Our fellowship promotes joy regardless of different beliefs (Ga 5:22), although our own beliefs are freedom to differ united by love (Ro 14:1-5; Co 3:14); resurrection to heaven or earth; the inviting of friendly people to home Bible readings (Mt 28:19, Ro 16:1), praying, sharing meals, helping the needy (Ga 2:10); a group of two or more can appoint reputable elders (older ones) to do desired services (1Tim 3; Ac 6:5), groups may voluntarily work together etc.  We rejoice that although Paul points out that no human alive today will live forever as all sin (read 1Cor15:22), thanks to Christ there is the resurrection hope.  We also note that Christ said God alone knows the day or hour of the end (Mt24:36) when the heavens and Earth will pass away; but happily a new heavens and Earth will come (Mt24:35; Lu21:33, Re21:1) so that our Earth will remain forever as Ecclesiastes 1:4 says. Christianwitnesses.com emails free newsletters to those signed in.  Although not JWs we are highly concerned about their Silentlambs and BleedingLambs crises involving the safety of JWs and sometimes the public.  One estimate is that 200,000 JWs (David A. Reed's Blood On The Altar) have died since 1945 mistold by Watchtower that God doesn't allow emergency blood transfusions even though 1 Samuel 14:31-35 (read it please) shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate meat with blood to stay alive!  If that bothers you too, mail JWs a copy of what you are reading to inform them more correctly (Watchtower sure doesn’t); also, send donations made out to the trust fund called Watchtower Lawsuit to: Lawrence Hughes; P.O.B 20161; Calgary Place, RPO; Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 4J3.  Your donations will help him pay debts incurred through court actions against Watchtower since his daughter Bethany’s death and enable him to keep assisting others who have also lost and stand to lose loved ones.   Most JWs don’t know that since 1972 Watchtower has told JW Elders they don't have to delete as fellow Elders those confessed to child molestation if 2-3 years have passed without the molestation becoming widely known.  This causes the number of pedophiles to accumulate!  Watchtower shelters all pedophiles it deems "repentant sinners," keeping their “sins” (most people would say crimes) secret from unsuspecting JW women and kids, as they go with Bibles to the public's doors where even more kids and unsuspecting parents are. Pedophiles are almost 100% likely to harm more kids, sometimes commit other crimes such as stalking, peeping-tommery; harassing, wiretapping etc to try to intimidate child victims and outspoken adults! There have been some decent JW Elders such as Bill Bowen, founder of the non-profit Silentlambs, now shunned by JWs.  Read what Christ says at Luke 17:2 of "Little Ones," and the kids’ safety coming first.  See news reports from CBS, NBC, BBC etc at silentlambs.org.  Donations can be by Paypal or sending a check to Silentlambs, PO Box 311, Calvert City, KY 42029.  JWs themselves aren’t free to speak out or they get shunned by those blindly obeying Watchtower which says it is God’s only true organization on earth.  They stand to lose all normal association with JW family members, their families be destroyed.  Though quiet many definitely do appreciate our efforts, pleased too that this is done out of a spirit of loving-kindness, tough for some to hear, true, yet helping to save lives, bring more safety and joy.    So, by all means, please do freely make, mail and leave about copies of this informative letter.  If given a copy at your door, JWs, who usually come in two’s, are told by Watchtower to not read it, but when in their own homes most will gladly read a copy that is mailed to them.  May all readers of good-will enjoy the many blessings of our Father in heaven.  Sincerely And From christianwitnesses.com.

THIS EXIT-MAKER IS SHORT AND MAKES A FEW QUICK POINTS AS SINCERE CHRISTIAN WITNESSES, not Jehovah's Witnesses, we believe it is loving and right to truthfully expose grevious wrongs.  For example, 200,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses including some children (David A. Reed's Blood On The Altar) have died since 1945 mistold by the Watchtower Society over them that God doesn't allow emergency blood transfusions even though 1 Samuel 14:31-35 (read it please) shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate meat with blood to stay alive!   Also, since 1972 Watchtower has told JW Elders they don't have to delete as fellow Elders those confessed to child molestation if 2-3 years have passed without the molestation becoming widely known.  This causes the number of pedophiles abusing JW children to accumulate!  Pedophiles are almost 100% likely to harm more kids, sometimes commit other crimes such as stalking, peeping-tommery; harassing, wiretapping etc to try to intimidate child victims and outspoken adults! See news reports from CBS, NBC, BBC etc at silentlambs.org.     JWs, as also the case with some other groups, for example the FLDS, are not themselves able to freely speak out or they get shunned by those blindly obeying their organizational heads who say theirs is God’s only true organization on earth.  JWs thus lose normal association with family members, and families are destroyed.  Christ spoke of families divided over some doing right, others wrong, not destroyed by religious dictatorships, and James condemned formal judging of other Christians such as by Watchtower Judicial Committees.  2 Corinthians 2:6 says a "majority" hence not all Christians at Corinth went along with Paul's recommendation to not associate with a wrongdoer and they weren't shunned for not agreeing even with Paul.  Today, although feeling they have to be quiet about it many who are still JWs definitely do appreciate our efforts to inform the public and other JWs, are pleased too that this is done out of a spirit of loving-kindness, tough for some to hear, true, yet helping to save lives, bring more safety and joy.  So, by all means, please do freely make, mail and leave about copies of this informative letter.  If you know JWs please mail them copies.

HERE IS AN EXIT-MAKER HANDY FOR EXTENSIVE DEPROGRAMMING: Many of the Babyboomer generation born 1945-1952 converted to being Jehovah's Witnesses during the 1960 and 1970s because they studied The Truth That Leads To Eternal Life, nicknamed the little Blue Bomb.   The book or booklet was short and provided plenty of scriptures to "prove" Watchtower doctrines, thus making it highly effective as a programming tool for those with a Bible interest and respect.  So the following is also brief but full of scriptures that prove, though, that Watchtower's doctrines are shakey, unbalanced, dictatorial, and even gravely false.   Those who were studied into the Watchtower can similarly be reverse-studied (deprogrammed) out of it even faster.   MAILED WITH CHRISTIAN LOVE FOR ACTIVE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES TO STUDY & GET COPIES OF TO OTHER JWs INCLUDING ELDERS: 1. WHAT THE GOOD NEWS IS. Friends, you have heard it said to teach as good news that "many now living will never die but live forever in paradise on earth" but Paul tells us that all sin and therefore all will die (1 Cor 15:22), Adam and Eve were falsely told by the serpent or Satan the devil that they would never die but live forever in paradise,  (Genesis 3) and the entire coming of Christ is about the hope of the resurrection, the true Good News. 2. THE FUTURE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. Although it sometimes noted that Ecclesiastes 1:4 says Earth will never end, Christ and the Bible say heaven and Earth will pass away although a new Heaven and Earth will come.  Read Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33, Revelation 21:1 to see this.   So precisely as Ecclesiastes says, even as generation of humans have come and gone our planet Earth will also vanished but then be recreated; and in this sense that the Earth definitely remains forever.  Also doesn't Revelation 19:1 say a "great crowd" is in Heaven, not on earth.  Read it to see for yourself.  You may also read and reflect upon John 14:2, 3; 1 Corinthians 15:20, 2 Corinthians 5:1, 2; Galatians 1:8, Philippians 3:20, James 1:17.   Earth returned to paradise will be gorgeous, but the starry heavens are even more stunning and our Father has "many mansions," including many other lovely planets, vast systems of stars and galaxies.   3. OUR DEAD LOVED ONES.  You have it stressed Ecclesiastes 9:5 says "the dead are conscious of nothing at all," and indeed when you are dead you are dead (with brain non-functioning, unconscious) but balancing are scriptures saying Christians are resurrected as spirits instantly upon death, in heaven being as angels fully conscious praising God.  Bodies die; but the Bible speaks of human spirits resurrected and continuing.  Read 1 Corinthians 15. 4. BLOOD. Please read 1 Samuel 14:31-35.  It shows God forgave Saul's men who ate unbled meat with blood to stay alive.   Also read and discuss with us Matthew 12:7;  Christ says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice.   Acts 15 says abstain from blood and although originally referring to meat markets, it is not unreasonable to normally go by today due to micro-organisms at time in blood, but for emergency life-and-death situations, read and note these other verses.   Blood expanders like saline solution don't act fast enough to stop women with rapid bleeding from giving birth, people gushing blood after car wrecks etc.  Since 1945 an estimated 200,000 JWs have unnecessarily bled to death, some children and babies. (David A. Reed's Blood On The Altar)   5. THE TRINITY.  Read Titus 2:13 and see for yourselves who it says Jesus is.  The Bible speaks of God, Christ, Holy Spirit as three different persons but one in perfect holiness or what Romans 1:20 calls "divine essence" which some translations call godship or godhead.  The Father is greatest in relative position but all three are equal in being uniquely holy, sharing together eternity, power and substance (holiness).  Watchtower has said the trinity belief is the three are the exact same person.  The truth is that only a very few churches teach belief the Father morphs into Christ etc, a belief that is not trinitarian but called Oneness or modalism.   Some Christians do call the Three or Trinity by the word Divinity or God but with the understanding that they are three distinct persons.  Again, read Titus 2:13 etc. 6. GOD'S NAME.  Read Matthew 6:9, Mark 14:36, Romans 8:15, and Galatians 4:6.  Christ says pray to not a formal guessed at name of God but to "our Father."  Other apostles similarly say use "Abba" which means Papa, Dad or Daddy.  We are to call on God's name to be saved in the sense of calling for God's help, not uttering some pronunciation like an incantation.  Those preferring to use formal guessed at names like Jehovah or Yahweh are free to do so, but why not use "Father" more for closeness and because Christ and Paul tell us to. 7. PREACHING. At Luke 10:1-7 Christ says go from a house in one location to a house in another location, and that's what he did.  Nowhere in the Bible did Christian go to door-after-door selling or asking donations for Bible literature.  They got freely and gave freely.  Bible examples show preaching not only in homes but outdoors for example in the Ethiopian eunuch's vehicle, from a boat etc, where God's Holy Spirit prompted.  Conversions were swift, long studies not needed, the quickly imparted Good News being that Christ came and died to bring us hope of the resurrection. 8. PROTECTION OF OUR LITTLE ONES.  Please read Luke 17:2.  Contrast what Christ says there to Watchtower's ordering Elders to keep sending "repentant" pedophiles, murderers, etc, to our doors, letting them be around to endanger Little Ones among JWs and the Public.   If someone harms a little boy or girl, turn him into the police.  Don't protect such a criminal for the sake of the group's "image" or tell parents to "wait on Jehovah" saying nothing or else be disfellowshipped; obey the officials God allows to rule. (Read Romans chapter 13) 9. BIBLE TRANSLATION.   Don't you know God condemns that although no early manuscript has guessed at, formal names like Jehovah in the New Testament, (Read Revelation 22:18, 19) yet the Watchtower has deliberately put it there.  10. HOLIDAYS.  Colossians 2:16 says we're not to let others judge us as Christians over celebrating holidays.  Note that angels and shepherds at Luke 2 celebrated Christ's birthday.  Thanksgiving has been celebrated in many lands even before the USA.  God started an annual harvest festival as Levitcus 23:33 and Deuteronomy 16:13 show, and also started a New Year's celebration for ancient Israel. (Leviticus 23).  Job 1:3 and then Job 3:1, 3 believe it is clear the banquet days Job's children celebrated were birthdays, and Jude 12 says the earliest Christians enjoyed balanced merriment at "love feasts." CHRISTMAS: Christmas may have come from the non-Christian Saturnalia as many encyclopedias suggest, but others point out that it may also have come from the Jewish celebration of Hannukah.  The date of the first Jewish festival of Hannukah was December 25 but the date varies yearly now because based on the moon.   In fact John 10:22 says in the winter Christ, himself a Jewish rabbi, was at the "Feast of Dedication," another term for Hannukah, which is also called the Festival of Lights because it has Menorah lights, also special foods, gifts etc remindful of Christmas.  Christmas has always been used to honor Christ, not some ancient sun god such as for the Saturnalia etc.  So for Christians it is definitely Christian not pagan.  The names of days and months came from ancient gods' names such as Thursday which is formed from the name of the god Thor- and the word -day as well as June which is from the god named Juno.  For that matter wedding rings and money came from pagans but are used.   Not doing celebrating holidays works against positive memories and the normal ties of affection among family members.  The celebrating of holidays helps build strong Christian families.  Mental health experts have noted a much higher incidence of mental depression among anti-holiday groups including JWs who are taught and say they are the happiest of people on the earth. Although Watchtower teaches the Christmas tree came from the worship of trees the truth is that it began in Medieval church plays as the Tree of Paradise in the Garden of Eden; also Santa Claus is not from a pagan god or wizard but from the famous Christian gift-giver, Nicholas, later called Saint Nicholas, who quietly left gifts at night to help the poor.  In Dutch his name was "Sinter 'Claus," in English becoming the name "Santa Claus." A bishop at Myra, he wore red and carried a miter cane, quietly dropped small bags of gold through open windows at night where they fell near the chimney hearth at homes with poor girls.  The next morning the girls went to get clothing they had laid to dry by the hearth, found the gold, and used it as dowries for marriage instead of being sold as slaves or concubines.  EASTER: Some encyclopedias say the English name for Easter is from an ancient non-Christian pagan goddess named Eastre, but others say it may be from the Old English word for East or Eastern.  Christianity came to Europe from the East, more precisely the Middle East.  Also many Christians believe Christ may return from the East to resurrect people basing the possibility on Matthew 24:27 etc.   Watchtower teaches early Christians began using Easter eggs and rabbits as vestiges of ancient pagan fertility rites, instead of noting that eggs are symbols of new life or resurrection, rabbits not only frequently bear new life but appear first here then there as Christ did being resurrected. 11. PERFECT LEADER.  Matthew 24:45 shows Christ speaking of a faithful and discreet or loyal and wise servant over Christians.   Christ himself is God's MOST faithful and discreet or wise servant ever.  Those who deny Christ's being first are denying Christ.   Those upset with any religious or other group can go straight to Christ anytime and always should instead of giving absolute obedience to misleading, abusive human leaders. 12. PERFECT ORGANIZATION.  God's Kingdom organization including the angels is still safely in heaven although through training from Bible reading and the conscience God gave us it has beeb guiding as Christians upon the earth for some 2,000 years.  When Paul said there's "one faith" (Ephesians 4:5) there was and still is the one general faith of Christianity.  It is not any one group such as Watchtower or Mormons who popped up in the 1800s, but Christianity in the universal or general sense.   Different branches of the one faith differ some in non-essentials but Colossians 3:14 says that Christian UNITY is based on Love, not on sameness.  "Uniformity" is not "unity," and it can only exist where there is coersion such as shunning that often results in the destruction of families and sometimes suicides.  If sameness were good, God would not have made different flowers.  The allowing of some variety is evidence of what is good and godly. 13. FREEDOM IN CHRIST.  Christ grants us great Christian freedom as is seen reading all of Romans 14 and John 8:32.  Christians are to not be judging so much but allowing freedom to differ in non-essentials.   To see some essentials read Hebrews 16:1.  Paul says at 2 Corinthians 2:6 a "Majority" not all at Corinth had agreed to punish a wrongdoer as Paul had suggested.  Paul could "order" Timothy as a worker in relief ministry, but not even Paul could tell all the Corinthian Christians or Timothy what to do as if he, Paul, were some manner of religious overseer.   14. STAYING LOYAL TO CHRIST: So there was and is freedom of conscience for Christians who are to stay faithful to Christ instead of the misteachings of men.  Let us obey Christ, the Most faithful and discreet slave of God, not be donating time or money to men harming ourselves and others.    Instead we need to help our families and obey Christ who says his yoke is light and gentle, refreshing and joyful.  Those leaving Watchtower mentally, as an estimated 30% already have (related from Brooklyn), or who will do so outright, are urged to not fall into wrongdoing, atheism etc but to draw closer to our beloved Father in heaven.  May Holy Spirit come upon, anoint, comfort and guide you now and forever, Amen. 15. FINAL NOTE ABOUT ASSOCIATION: Those who will become or already are independent and wish to associate with some other Christian groups, form independent Bible Study groups etc, certainly have important decisions to make.  Please do make and share copies of this letter, Friends, which comes to you as an expression of loving concern from your fellow Brothers and Sisters in the Christian faith.

SHORT BUT SWEET: GOOD NEWS AND ALSO TWO GRAVE CONCERNS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC:  Led overall only by Christ, the most faithful and discreet or wise of all who ever served God (Mt24:45, Mt23:10), our own until now mostly internet-based fellowship is Christian Witnesses.  Thousands associate already.  Our fellowship promotes joy regardless of different beliefs (Ga 5:22), although our own beliefs are freedom to differ united by love (Ro 14:1-5; Co 3:14); resurrection to heaven or earth; the inviting of friendly people to home Bible readings (Mt 28:19, Ro 16:1), praying, sharing meals, helping the needy (Ga 2:10); a group of two or more can appoint reputable elders (older ones) to do desired services (1Tim 3; Ac 6:5), groups may voluntarily work together etc.  We rejoice that although Paul points out that no human alive today will live forever as all sin (read 1Cor15:22), thanks to Christ there is the resurrection hope.  We also note that Christ said God alone knows the day or hour of the end (Mt24:36) when the heavens and Earth will pass away; but happily a new heavens and Earth will come (Mt24:35; Lu21:33, Re21:1) so that our Earth will remain forever as Ecclesiastes 1:4 says. We also believe in exposing wrongs.  For example, 200,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses including some children (David A. Reed's Blood On The Altar) have died since 1945 mistold by Watchtower that God doesn't allow emergency blood transfusions even though 1 Samuel 14:31-35 (read it please) shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate meat with blood to stay alive!   Please send donations made out to the trust fund called Watchtower Lawsuit to: Lawrence Hughes; P.O.B 20161; Calgary Place, RPO; Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 4J3.  Those will help him keep assisting others who have also lost and stand to lose loved ones.  Also, since 1972 Watchtower has told JW Elders they don't have to delete as fellow Elders those confessed to child molestation if 2-3 years have passed without the molestation becoming widely known.  This causes the number of pedophiles to accumulate!  Pedophiles are almost 100% likely to harm more kids, sometimes commit other crimes such as stalking, peeping-tommery; harassing, wiretapping etc to try to intimidate child victims and outspoken adults! See news reports from CBS, NBC, BBC etc at silentlambs.org.  Send a check to Silentlambs, PO Box 311, Calvert City, KY 42029 which helps victims and exposes this.  JWs, as also the case with some other groups, for example the FLDS, are not themselves able to freely speak out or they get shunned by those blindly obeying their organizational heads who say theirs is God’s only true organization on earth.  Members of such groups stand to lose all normal association with family members, their families be destroyed.  Though quiet many definitely do appreciate our efforts, pleased too that this is done out of a spirit of loving-kindness, tough for some to hear, true, yet helping to save lives, bring more safety and joy.  So, by all means, please do freely make, mail and leave about copies of this informative letter.  christianwitnesses.com

This explains politely why nice-seeming and well-dressed people preaching at our doors, such as Jehovah’s Witnesses and various Mormon groups do not, as they assert, have The Truth.  For example 1 Samuel 14:31-35 shows God forgave men who ate unbled meat with blood to stay alive.  Emergency transfusions of blood are scriptural.  At Matthew 7:12 Christ says God wants Mercy not Sacrifice but yearly thousands of JWs and sometimes JW kids bleed to death.  Acts 15 says abstain from blood and although originally referring to meat markets, it is not unreasonable to normally go by today but for emergency life-and-death situations, other verses about  mercy and being reasonable weigh even more.   Blood expanders like saline solution don't act fast enough to save women from rapid bleeding after giving birth, those gushing blood after bad accidents etc.  Isaiah 25:6 says God will give a banquet including marrow which is the blood part of bone. JWs say "many now living will never die but live forever in paradise on earth" but at 1 Corinthians 15:22 Paul says all sin so all will die.   The Bible shows not only Paul, but Christ and others said the Gospel or Good News is the resurrection hope, not living forever on earth.  1 Corinthians 15:42 says at the resurrection the body that was sown will be “raised a spiritual body.”  Genesis 3 says Adam and Eve were told they would never die but could live forever in the paradise of Eden, harmful false information from the serpent.  People were resurrected on earth in the Bible but if some might be latter, still the Bible directs Christians to strive for and focus on serving amid the glorious starry heavens in fellowship with Christ.  JWs also preach Ecclesiastes 1:4 says Earth will never end but don’t note it is also true the Bible says heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven and Earth will come. (Read Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1)  So precisely as Ecclesiastes says, even as generations of humans have come and gone, our planet Earth will also vanish but then be re-created; and in this sense  remains forever.  A “great crowd,” not a little flock, of resurrected humans are in heaven, not on Earth.  (Read Re 19:1; also see Jn 14:2, 3; 1 Co 15:20, 2 Co 5:1, 2; Ga 1:8, Phillipians 3:20, Jas 1:17.   JWs stress Ecclesiastes 9:5 says “the dead are conscious of nothing at all,” and indeed when you are dead you are dead with the brain non-functioning or unconscious, but balancing that are other scriptures saying at least some Christians are resurrected as spirits instantly upon death as when 1 Corinthians 15:51 says “…..For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.” Revelation 19 tells of people in heaven as angels, conscious and praising God.     JWs need to not just read but meditate on the fact Christ and Paul say pray to not a formal guessed at name of God but to our Father  or "Abba" meaning Dad or Daddy. (Mt 6:9, Mk 14:36, Ro 8:15, Ga 4:6)  We are to call on God's name to be saved in the sense of calling for God's help, not uttering some pronunciation like an incantation.   Read Revelation 22:18, 19 which shows God condemns, for example, when a group adds a guessed, formal name of God in hundreds of places where no early manuscript has it in the New Testament. JWs Bible translation does this.  Definitely read Titus 2:13 as to who Jesus is.  The Bible speaks of God, Christ, and Holy Spirit.  They are three different persons one in perfect holiness, what various translations (Ro 2:10) cals "divine essence," “godship” or “godhead.”  The Father is greatest in relative position but all three are equal in being uniquely holy, sharing together eternity, power and substance (holiness).  JWs mistell that the trinity belief is that the three are the exact same person but few churches teach belief the Father morphs into Christ etc, an idea that is not Trinitarian but called Oneness or Modalism.   Mormons teach God is a person of flesh, but John 4:24 says God is Spirit not flesh.  LDS Mormons and JWs preach at house after house but Christ says go from a house in one location to a house in another location. (Lu 10:1-7)  Contrast what Christ says to any group, not just JWs or Mormons about the endangering of our little ones.  (Lu 17:2)  No Elder who has ever harmed a child, no matter how so-called "repentant" he seems, should be allowed to along with unsuspecting innocent colleagues to preach at our doors, much less allowed to get near them.  Judges, Justices, Legislators etc allow freedom to preach at doors, but Laws denying pedophiles access to kids need to be ruled first!  If someone harms a Little One, turn him into the police, not any religious groups’ clergy elder heads who for the sake of the group’s "image" quite possibly will tell you not to do so. (Ro 13:1)  Though polygamy is illegal LDS Mormons say after death men followers’ spirits get to have multiple wives, other Mormons have held secret “spiritual” weddings with multiple women.  Genesis proves God made Adam only one wife.  Israel’s kings were told to have only one wife though Solomon broke the law.  Paul said have one wife not wives. (1Co 7:2) Colossians 2:16 says we're not to let others judge us as Christians over celebrating holidays, though JWs do so wrongly all the time.   Note that angels and shepherds at Luke 2 celebrated Christ's birthday.  Thanksgiving has been celebrated in many lands even before in the USA.  God started an annual harvest festival and also started a New Year's celebration for Israel. (Lev 23; Deu 16:13)  Matthew 24:45 shows Christ speaking of a faithful and discreet or loyal and wise servant over Christians.   Christ himself is God's MOST faithful and discreet or wise servant ever, not the men over JWs.  We can go straight to Christ at anytime instead of to a misleading or abusive group of human leaders.  God's Kingdom organization including angels is still safely in heaven although by Bible-training and conscience it’s been ruling in the midst of Christians for some 2,000 years.  Paul said there's "one faith" (Eph 4:5) and when he said so there was and still is the one faith.  It’s not some group like Mormons or JWs who began in 1800s or any group begun in the 1900s but Christianity in the universal or general sense.   The many branches of Christianity differ some in non-essential beliefs but Colossians 3:14 says that there is perfect UNITY from LOVE.  Absolute robotic sameness in all same beliefs as done with JWs and Mormons is not Unity but unChristian Uniformity enforced by duress of severe shunning.  Christ says Christians are to enjoy great Christian freedom, not burdened but made happy.  Read all Romans 14 and John 8:32.  Instead of being judgmental we are to allow freedom to differ beyond basics like those listed at Hebrews 16:1. Christians naturally warn others including their children when someone is a bad influence (1 Cor 15:33) but scriptures also say it’s wrong to formally or unduly judge others. (Jas 2:4-13, 4:12; Mt &:1-5; Lu 6:37)  Christ said families would be split by some doing right or wrong things, but never called for destroying families by severe, lasting shunning.  (Mt 10:34-36)  Christians while on Earth can judge "trivial" things as in business but must not formally judge each other as with JW Judicial Committees or destroy families. (1Cor 6:1)  JWs are mistold it’s “loving” to shun family members who disagree with JW teachings, told to hate them as wicked. Many Mormon groups etc also cold-shoulder and call those who disagree by names such as apostates or sons of perdition.  Paul says the "MAJORITY" at Corinth followed his advice to shun a wrongdoer, meaning that a MINORITY chose not to, and yet he nowhere condemns the minority who did not go along with his suggestion. Read 2 Corinthians 2:6.  Thanks for reading this.  Freely leave about or mail copies of this as truth sets people free.

PHOTOCOPY AND USE: Why Do Friendly-Seeming Jehovah’s Witnesses Say Wrong Things?   Because Mistaught To By The Watchtower Society Men Over Them. Per Watchtower Society heads, JWs say die rather than take an emergency whole blood transfusion; but ignore scriptures showing God forgave all Saul’s men who ate unbled meat in order to stay alive.  (1Samuel 14:31-35).  JWs say “many now living will never die but live forever on paradise earth,” but the Bible says all sin so all will die (1Co 15:22), the real Good News being the Christian hope of resurrection with Christ in heaven.  JWs have formal Judicial Committees that “disfellowship” (order severe shunning of) not just evil men but those peacefully dissenting. Paul says the "MAJORITY" (2Co 2:6) followed his saying shun a wrongdoer, meaning a MINORITY chose not to, yet he nowhere condemns that minority.  James says leave judging to God for human judges about religious matter act unfairly and evilly.  (Jas 2:4-13; 14:12)   JWs say call God Jehovah, that Romans 10:13 says call on God’s name to be saved (Ro 10:13) but Christ (Ro 10:13) says call God “Father,” (Mt 6:9)  Paul says use “Abba” meaning Dad or Pappa, (Ro 8:15, Ga 4:6), and calling on God to save isn’t pronouncing some name but calling on the person of God to save us.  JWs say Earth will never end (Ec 1:4), but the Bible says heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven and Earth will come. (Mt 24:35; Lu 21:33, Re 21:1)  In the sense of being recreated, Earth remains forever.  JWs say only a Little Flock of just 144,000 go to heaven but Revelation 19:1 says a "great crowd" is in heaven. JWs say non-JW Christians believe the trinity is Father, Son, Holy Spirit are one same God, a three-headed God, but Christians say the three are different but one in what various translations at Romans 1:20 calls Godship, godhead, divinity or divine essence, so only the three are 100% totally holy.  JWs say holidays are wrong and pagan.  Paul says don’t let others judge us as Christians over holidays. (Col 2:16)  Angels and shepherds celebrated Christ's, many believe Job 1:3 and then Job 3:1, 3 show Job's children celebrated days of their birth. JWs do use names of days and months, wedding rings and money, all from pagans.   JWs say Thanksgiving is a U.S. nationalistic day but other nations such as Canada, the Philippines and Germany celebrate Thanksgivings.   JWs denounce everyone who celebrates Halloween as satanistic ignoring early Christians costumed kids like faithful Bible figures tortured and martyred for staying faithful in order to encourage similar loyalty to God. JWs say Christmas is pagan though it may also be from the Jewish Hannukah which first originally was December 25, celebrated as the Feast of Dedication by Christ (Jn 10:22), includes special lights, foods, gifts.  JWs say Santa Claus came from a pagan god or wizard but he came from Saint Nicholas, a famous actual Christian gift-giver.  JWs say the Christmas tree began as pagan tree worship, but it began as the Paradise Tree in Eden in early church plays.  JWs say the name Easter is from the pagan goddess Eastre, but it may also be from the Old English for East or Eastern the direction from which Christianity came into Europe.  JWs say Easter eggs and rabbits are from pagan fertility rites but Christians have always used those to symbolize new life in resurrection.   JWs say Christ didn't die on a cross but a stake or pole and the cross is a horrible murder weapon, but the word “stauros” means not just pole but also cross; archaeology and forensics show it was a cross.  Paul says boast of the cross as Christ made it a positive symbol of resurrection hope. (Ga 6:14, 1Co 1:17-18)   JWs teach all people, therefore even truly evil persons just sleep in peace after death but if so, how would that be justice for victims?   The body of a dead person is dead, asleep as scripture says (Ec 9:5), but scriptures say there is a spirit living after a living soul (body with spirit) passes.  This is biblical not pagan as JWs mis-teach. (Ps 90:10, 1 Ki 17:21-22) JWs say the true faith knocks door-after-door but Christ and apostles preached at a house in one town then walked to another.  (Lu 10:7)  Witnessing by kindness beats words.   JWs say Paul said there’s “one faith” (Eph 4:5) and that’s their beliefs but JWs Watchtower organization didn’t even existing till the late 1800s while general Christianity has existed over 2,000 years.  JWs say people can only go to the Watchtower Society for true Christianity but Christ answers: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Jn 6:68; 14:6)   True Christianity is found in Christ rather than Watchtower.  Christ himself, not Watchtower, is the MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave of God. JWs say their organization is a spiritual paradise.  Unknown to most regular JWs, in 1972 Watchtower sent Elders a directive saying fellow Elders who confess to pedophilia need not be deleted as Elders if several years (later defined as 2-3 years) passed and they still seemed  to “enjoy Jehovah’s blessing,” that is their “sin” (“crime”) had not become widely known.  So pedophiles and their protectors grow in numbers, %, power, hidden among JW men, women, kids.  Please mail copies of this to others and also put them in the hands of visiting JWs.  Keep some copies for yourself too.

SOME FINAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOU If you are a reader who may be fading out of the Watchtower Society but still in it, you are in a unique position to help others.  For example you likely have or can quickly get the addresses of many other JWs to mail to. A consideration for some is if to mail, say, a hundred letters at once or just a few here and there.  Experience shows that it's generally usually best to mail a hundred suddenly, although do what you feel is best for your own situation.  Some do a mass mailing then wait until the Watchtower-appointed Elders try to counter by telling their "sheep" to not read anything coming from the "evil apostate/s," (usually at a Wednesday or Thursday night meeting) then after a while send some more, re-seeding time to time. You are to be congratulated for your loving concern and action to help inform others.  Christ certainly did so, too.
