PHOTO ABOVE SHOWS SOME WHO HAVE ASSOCIATED IN OUR FELLOWSHIP "Christian Freedom To Differ While United By Love" You may be wondering: just what is "christianwitnesses and how are you different?"  The name Christianwitnesses is the name of our Christian fellowship emphasizing loving-kindness, joy or happiness and fun in Christ, a friendly now mostly online community now with over 2,000 people signed in via yahoogroups and recently Facebook including ExJWs, some exiting and conscious class JWs, and never JW Friends, that began in September 2005.   We are also now increasingly expanding from the internet into the real-world. The only Bible-given name for Christians is "Christians" which is our only overall name although those who wish to use the name Christian Witnesses to be distinctive are also welcome to do so.  Some major differences are that we put much greater emphasis upon showing loving-kindness and allowing great Christian freedom for bringing more happiness to one another and others; also we stress that Christ himself is the "MOST" Faithful and Discreet Slave of God rather than Watchtower's Governing body of men or any other human group. Any Christian can enjoy fellowshipping in Christ without any intervening organizational hierachy of human officials on earth.   Christians can be "organized" in the sense of "well-arranged" with local elders taking the lead about providing local needs and services, without being an "organization" of religious officials. God's Kingdom is the only perfect organization and stays secure in heaven although its power already extends directly onto earth into and in the midst of the hearts and minds of true believers.  Any group on earth that claims to be its representative is simply a mock imitation, not to be followed.  True Christians follow only the Lamb, not an organization and not any single human who might seek self-idolization.  That's why this website directs readers to and only to Christ, never to any human "leader" or writer, etc.  Only Christ was perfect as a human and remains so! Former JWs have various fellowships or churches that can be selected from, and also this website as a place to go to in Christ via the internet.  Any who want a local fellowship headed only by Christ, can form their own.  To make it easier for you if you are such a caring person, for example, please click "Christian Packet" at the top to get clear understanding of how to form a local group(s) and to get handy documents for doing so and keeping locally formed groups going and growing.     The free services here also include a number of leaflets (tracts) using Bible scriptures to counter the many wrong Watchtower mis-teachings as when 1 Samuel 14:32-35 shows God forgave Saul's men who ate unbled meat to stay alive, showing that Watchtower's claim that Acts 20 is against emergency blood transfusions is false as well as dangerous.  We're here to help and save the lives of JW adults and kids, so are all for the mistreated ones, while exposing the wrongs of the Watchtower Society.  Some getting the Weekly Bible Reader of Christian Witnesses still have JW family and friends caught up in the Watchtower tragedies; many others never were JWs but have natural Christian concern, wishing to help out of loving-kindness. So, again, our fellowship's main overall goal and reason for existence is to offer joy (Ga 5:22) and happiness regardless of different beliefs; and Christian Witnesses' own beliefs are freedom to differ united by love (Ro 14:1-5; Co 3:14); resurrection to heaven or earth; inviting friendly people to Bible readings in homes etc (Mt 28:19, Ro 16:1), praying, sharing meals, helping the needy (Ga 2:10); overall unity is by Love and basic Christianity (Hebrews 6:1).  Paul said there is one true faith (Eph 4:5), Christianity, though like a tree its branches have produced average and also some very bad and some very good branches. Two or more can determine who the reputable adult elders are among them (1Tim 3; Ac 6:5) but Christ himself is our only top Leader, the MOST Faithful and Discreet slave,  (Mt 23:10; 24:45) in the spiritual kingdom safe in heaven though extending into the hearts and minds of those on earth putting Christ first, including above the heads of all religious organizations on earth.  We as well as all truly sincere JWs are united in giving our loyalty to Christ alone.  Those who do give their loyalty to the Watchtower instead of Christ are really "Watchtowerites," not actually "Jehovah's" Witnesses in the sense of loyalty to God but, sadly, for our Father in heaven in name-only.  No, the truth is this: well-balanced JW Brothers and Sisters who have true love for Christ will stay loyally wed to him as the head no matter what.  We look to no "man" (or human group) but to Christ as our spiritual head and king. All services are 100% free though you are welcome to donate directly to worthy causes cited on the front page and in time we plan to offer other high interest items which will also be free or for a voluntary, free-will donation.  This site has news and analyses of great interest to both active and former JWs as well as those never JWs at all.  Please pass along the name of this website by mail or email etc to caring persons who never were JWs, also to former JWs and fading or active JWs.   Even when see just once, "christianwitnesses.com" is a name few are likely to ever forget.  Freely make and distribute copies of items written here.   With your help more will be coming to learn more.  We haven't paid any service for advertising, so need your help for it.  Thank you in advance for your assistance.  It will help save and improve lives; in many cases already has. Respectfully And With Christian Love As A Servant In Christ, Joe Joe Emerson P.S. For the curious there are photos of me toward the bottom of this page.   Another is at Christian Witnesses Fellowship (Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses And Friends) on facebook.com.  jmasonemerson@yahoo.com

ALERT!  These are facts about the main men in the Watchtower Society over Jehovah’s Witnesses.  They endanger the children of Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Public.  They give orders to the local leaders of Jehovah’s Witnesses.   The local leaders are called the Elders.  Their leaders hide and protect pedophiles among Jehovah’s Witnesses instead of tell other Jehovah’s Witnesses who the pedophiles are.  The pedophiles can more easily hurt the children.  Some Elders of the Watchtower Society are also pedophiles.  (Confirm at silentlambs.org or google.com)  Some sources estimate that from 1945 until now approximately 250,000 JWs and their children have died after refusing emergency blood transfusions.  (ajwrb.org; the book Blood On The Altar by David A. Reed)  Why?  Watchtower Society leaders teach scriptures that say to abstain from blood.  But they do not at the same time teach 1 Samuel 14:31-35.  It shows God forgave Saul’s men who ate meat with blood in it to stay alive.  Also Christ says at Matthew 12:7 that God wants Mercy not Sacrifice.   Watchtower Society leaders also order Jehovah’s Witnesses to shun other Jehovah’s Witnesses who peacefully dissent in beliefs.   This has often destroyed families of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  There are good Elders  and other Jehovah’s Witnesses, but the Watchtower Society’s leaders endanger both Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Public.  Please remember that many Jehovah’s Witnesses are victims of the Watchtower Society, too.  Do not donate any money that helps the Watchtower Society.  If you want to help their children and children of the Public, please donate to help other groups or silentlambs.org.  You also have permission to make and distribute copies of this.   It is from Christians of different beliefs.  We agree the way of Christ is love.  Also families and children need information to stay safe and happy. Some 30% of JWs have left Watchtower mentally-speaking already.  They know it mistreats them and other JWs but don't formally leave the organization in order to keep normal ties with their JWs friends and family.  However, this website now exists to easily serve them and others who never were JWs with joyful new Christian fellowship whether by internet website or house churches, that is groups of two or more meeting in a home. (Ro 16:1)
