Why I Cannot Be a Jehovah’s Witness: Their False Doctrines, Reason #2

The doctrines of the Jehovah’s Witnesses are in diametric opposition to historic biblical Christianity. There is no significant area of agreement. They are wrong on just about everything.

Among the most essential doctrines denied by them are the deity of Christ, the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, the bodily resurrection of Jesus, His visible second coming, hell, the nature of man, the gospel, and many more.

Why I Cannot Be a Jehovah’ Witness: Their False Bible, Reason #1

Approximately one-third of the New Testament is written against error, either to warn believers about false teachers, or to answer their false doctrines. And, all but one book of the New Testament contains some warning or admonition against heresy. The reason is simple: it really does matter what a person believes.

… The New World Translation is a mistranslation of the Scriptures. It has been changed in key places to promote the doctrines of the Watchtower Society. Revelation 22:18-19 condemns such adding to, or, taking away from what God has said to us.

Is Disfellowshipping Biblical?

I implore you by the compassion of our God, brothers and sisters. When are we going to start questioning the beliefs of the organisation? How long are we going to allow ourselves to be deceived by a different Christ, a different spirit, a different gospel (1 Cor. 11:2-4)? A different gospel that the apostles warned us about (Gal. 1:6-9).

Doublethink

Doublethink!!! The art of self-contradiction without being noticed.

Any Bible-based cult must distinguish itself from every other group’s expression of Biblical teaching. Otherwise, the cult’s followers might get the idea that there is somewhere else to go if they have a disagreement with the cult.

Who Joins Spiritually Abusive Groups?

The question of who joins high control religious groups seems like it would have a simple answer. It does not. Nor is there a simple answer to how it happens. The starting place should be the question of what disposes a person to spiritual abuse? Why is a person vulnerable? What differences in people make one vulnerable and another not so vulnerable?

Here is a list that may help you think it through. Which of these statements fit you?

Book Review: Toxic Faith

As Arterburn discovered some of the ministries to which Nany was giving her hard earned money, he realized that toxic faith had robbed her “of the great blessing of knowing her money had been used to further the kingdom of God.” (p 2) All the while these “ministries” were fueling their jets to fly to Palm Springs with the money they were bringing in.
