To help people understand the Good Book (the Bible.)

It seems that the different religions have not taught their flock the truth; despite having siphoned the flock of their finances to support themselves.

Jehovah's Witnesses have learned the truth from the Bible; and so we publish it -- and distribute it; for FREE around the earth. The Watchtower is simply one publication of many. We also pass out Bibles, brochures, tracts, books, DVDs, Braille, and sign language items. You name it, we have it.

And to top it off, we actually offer you a free one-on-one Bible Study Program, right in your own home. If that don't beat all. Before you get done with us, you'll finally know what's really in The Bible.

For Example: From the Watchtower, millions have finally learned that there's no such thing as 'eternal torment' in the Bible. They finally learn that God is NOT a silly trinity. They finally learn that we do NOT have an immortal soul. They finally learn that the Bible condemns a clergy / laity distinction. People have a Bible, yet they never read it enough to learn all these things. Bingo, The Watchtower. It causes such an uprising, that people just have to see what it's all about. They read it - - and they're done with their religion; starts the withholding of moneys to the churches.

Why does the watchtower teach that white blood cells cannot pass the barrier of the placenta while science since years 1960 proves that they migrate on a natural way from mother to fetus and vice ver?

The Watchtower magazine is not a medical journal but to my knowledge such a thing has not be taught by Jehovah's Witnesses.

If a brother or sister needs certain allowed secondary life important bloodfractions will a Jehovah witnesses give his or her blood to save his or her life?

no. We do not give blood, but there are now a lot of different options. Like non-blood transfusions. Answer 2: The watchtower prohibit primary bloodfractions: white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets and plasma. They also prohibit whole blood transfusions. Secondary blood fractions are allowed. This secondary are the smaller fractions from the primary blood fractions. The watchtower learn the Jehovah witnesses that the base why these fractions are allowed is the fact that this small bloodfractions can pass the barrier of the placenta from mother to fetus. The watchtower DON'T LEARN the Jehovah witnesses that ALSO the primary bloodfractions can pass the barrier from mother to fetus and vice versa. White blood cells pass this barrier on a natural way as manner of learning process in the immunity system to protect fetus and mother against rejection: it's a NATURAL LIFE SAVING reaction of the body. Even white blood cells pass the mother with the mother's milk. During the first weeks of breastfeeding large quantities of white blood cells pass with the mother's milk to the baby in order to protect the baby on a NATURAL way against diseases and death. For getting secondary blood fractions there is whole blood needed. Because blood giving is not prohibited by the watchtower, a Jehovah witnesses cannot save the life of his own child with giving his blood in order to gain the life important secondary bloodfractions. When a Jehovah witness has an acute critical blood loss during an accident or for example when bearing a child than she will die, the child will be born orphan. One of the typical examples is the Emma Gough tragedy, who after complications during bearing a twin, died after the birth from here twins because the husband refused a LIFE IMPORTANT blood transfusion. When there is an acute and critical blood loss then there is ONLY ONE LIFE SAVING solution and that is a bloodtransfusion. The watchtower learn the Jehovah witnesses that that a transfusion is the same as eating blood. They also learn that blood is the symbol of life, the result is that the importance of "life themselves" is of minor importance then the symbol. That means: dying for a symbol. To abstain from blood is impossible in the case that Jehovah witnesses are eating meat. The amount of rest blood in meat is very considerable. Jews eat their meat kosher. During their lifetime Jehovah witnesses eat an enormous quantity of blood. The amount of blood they eat with their meat is sufficient to save a premature born baby. Most of premature babies need a bloodtransfusion. In Vancouver the British Columbia government took three of the sextuplets from their parents to give them blood transfusions, before the Jehovah Witnesses could challenge the move in court. Which they were going to do. In former times the teachings of the watchtower was a real tragedy for the Jehovah witnesses. A brief and necessary overview to understand the blood policy of the watchtower: From 1931 to 1952 the watchtower banned their members from having vaccinations based on their interpretation of the bible.: The Golden Age, 4 Jan. 1931 p.293. "Vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after the flood" Awake! February 4, 1931, pp. 293-294"Vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after the flood. Vaccination has never saved a human life. It does not prevent small pox" The Golden Age, 5 Jan.1929 p. 502 "Thinking people would rather have smallpox than vaccination, because the latter sows seeds of syphilis, cancers, eczema, erysipelas, scrofula, consumption, even leprosy and many other loathsome affections. Hence the practice of vaccinations is a crime, an outrage, and a delusion" As a consequence of the rules of the watchtower during this period thousands died are were lifetime handicapped. With his own rules, the watchtower were even a danger for the rest of the world. Thousands of Jehovah witnesses were disfellowshipped by the watchtower because they did not accept their teachings concerning vaccinations. From 1967 to 1980 all transplantations were forbidden because they were cannibalism! The Watchtower, November 15, 1967, p.702 "When men of science conclude that this normal process will no longer work and they suggest removing the organ and replacing it directly with an organ from another human, this is simply a shortcut. Those who submit to such operations are thus living off the flesh of another human. That is cannibalistic. However, in allowing man to eat animal flesh Jehovah God did not grant permission for humans to try to perpetuate their lives by cannibalistically taking into their bodies human flesh, whether chewed or in the form of whole organs or body parts taken from others." The Watchtower 1961, p. 480. " Donating organs for transplant up to your conscience." The Watchtower Nov. 15, 1967, p. 702 "Organ transplants are a form of cannibalism and to be shunned. (compare 1961) Jehovah's Witnesses and the Question of Blood, 1977, p. 41 "Blood transfusions are organ transplants: " . . . many a person might decline blood simply because it is essentially an organ transplant that at best is only partially compatible with his own blood." The Watchtower March 15, 1980, p. 31 "Organ transplants are a matter of conscience, decided by the individual. " The Watchtower May 15, 1984, p. 31 Accepting a bone-marrow transplant is up to your conscience. () The real background for " a matter of conscience" is to avoid an enormous mass of juridical claims for the thousands of victims they have made with their "teachings". On this way they avoid to be responsible for all the deaths and lifetime handicapped children and adults. In all other cases they are authoritarian and dictatorial; in this cases they let Jehovah witnesses themselves tie the rope around their neck knowing that most of them will feel a sense of guilt for accepting a transplantation. How many thousands are disfellowshipped, shunned, lost their families and friends for refusing former teachings of the watchtower…"prohibitions" that are nowadays accepted. Chrystal clear fact is that there is not one quote in the whole bible who learn Christians that they must sacrifice their own child if it can be saved. One of the most important chrystal clear rules in the bible is: "thou shall not kill". There is also not one quote in the bible that give the power to a human organization as the watchtower to decide who must die and who has the right to live. In ancient times there were pagan rituals where people sacrificed one of their children. What even is very important to know is that since the start of the watchtower organization they have made nearly an endless list of false prophesies on date and on things that must happen for this specific date.  Last days begin in 1799 and 1914  Christ's return in 1874 and 1914  Christ as king in 1878, 1914  Resurrection of 144000 in 1878, 1918  Judgment of religion 1878, 1919  Great Tribulation 1914, 1915, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975 On Wikipedia you can read an objective and very well written account from the eschatology of teachings and their false prophesies, all linked to the concrete and own literature of the watchtower: the silent witness of the truth about the truth.


Jehovah's Witnesses what is your latest understanding of the term 'this generation'?

Jesus said in Matthew 24 ''Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur''. The latest understanding is that he meant :''Truly I say to you that this generation, that saw the generation that saw 1914, will by no means pass away until all these things occur''The journal The Watchtower 2010 April 15th explains as follows :''How, then, are we to understand Jesus' words about "this generation"? He evidently meant that the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation'' In other words, the generation that saw the generation that saw 1914 will not pass away until all these things occur.

How can Jehovah witnesses abstain from white blood cells if they pass from mother to fetus and vice versa and from mother to baby in mother's milk on a natural way?

it is obvious that a baby needs to go through all of that what is meant is that after that we take no transfusions Answer 2: The watchtower allows secondary blood fractions because they can pass the barrier of the fetus and mother. For the same reason they forbid the primary blood fractions in spite of the fact that white blood cells and red blood cells also pass this barrier. The white blood cells pass even the body of the mother by the mothers' milk. In all cases it's a natural migration who protects the life of the fetus, mother or baby. The doctrine of the watchtower kills the fetus, mother or baby. The fetus or baby can't on a natural way not abstain from blood. The watchtower rob even the live of a premature child that needs in most case after birth fractions of blood. Another madness is that the watchtower allows primary blood fractions but forbid the witnesses to give blood! From 1931 to 1952 the watchtower banned their members from having vaccinations based on their interpretation of the bible.: Vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after the flood (The Golden Age, 4 Jan. 1931 p.293). "Vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after the flood. Vaccination has never saved a human life. It does not prevent small pox"( Awake! February 4, 1931, pp. 293-294) Absurdities as: "Thinking people would rather have smallpox than vaccination, because the latter sows seeds of syphilis, cancers, eczema, erysipelas, scrofula, consumption, even leprosy and many other loathsome affections. Hence the practice of vaccinations is a crime, an outrage, and a delusion" (The Golden Age, 5 Jan.1929 p. 502) proves their medical and scientific quack. A madness that killed thousands of good people. Thousands were disfellowshipped by the watchtower because they did not accept their mad killing "meanings". From 1967 to 1980 transplantations were forbidden because they were cannibalism! "When men of science conclude that this normal process will no longer work and they suggest removing the organ and replacing it directly with an organ from another human, this is simply a shortcut. Those who submit to such operations are thus living off the flesh of another human. That is cannibalistic. However, in allowing man to eat animal flesh Jehovah God did not grant permission for humans to try to perpetuate their lives by cannibalistically taking into their bodies human flesh, whether chewed or in the form of whole organs or body parts taken from others."( The Watchtower, November 15, 1967, p.702) 1961: Donating organs for transplant up to your conscience. (The Watctower 1961, p. 480. 1967 Organ transplants are a form of cannibalism and to be shunned. (The Watchtower Nov. 15, 1967, p. 702) (compare 1961) 1977 Blood transfusions are organ transplants: " . . . many a person might decline blood simply because it is essentially an organ transplant that at best is only partially compatible with his own blood." (Jehovah's Witnesses and the Question of Blood, 1977, p. 41.) (compare 1961) 1980 Organ transplants are a matter of conscience, decided by the individual. (The Watchtower March 15, 1980, p. 31) (compare 1967, 1977) 1984 Accepting a bone-marrow transplant is up to your conscience. (The Watchtower May 15, 1984, p. 31) The watchtower prophesied the end of the world on date: "the Armageddon" for 1914, 1915, 1918, 1925, 1975 and insinuated many other dates. The prophesied the resurrection to human perfection from Abraham, Mozes…, in 1925. The watchtower had even a mansion for their comeback to the earth: "Beth Sarim" in San Diego. Later they sold the mansion. It can still be visited. In the book "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" Judge Rutherford wrote, . . . "the great jubilee cycle is due to begin in 1925. At that time the earthly phase of the kingdom shall be recognized. The Apostle Paul in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews names a long list of faithful men who died before the crucifixion of the Lord and before beginning of the selection of the church. . . . They are to be resurrected as perfect men and constitute the princes or rulers in the earth, according to his promise. . . .Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews chapter eleven, to the condition of human perfection" The children in "Awake 1994 May 22" are the victims of a destructive and tragic indoctrination and are the tip of the iceberg from the injustice, treats and lies from the watchtower carefully kept secret for the Jehovah Witnesses…BUT there is one SILENT WITNESS: the literature of the watchtower waiting to be revealed for the whole world..

How can the NEW LIGHT from the watchtower be several times the contrary of what have been written the time before what was TRUTH became UNTRUTH?

As we have come to know Gods love, we also realize that he reveals things to the discreet slave in a gradual way.That is the meaning of the light getting brighter and brighter not all at once bright.This enables us to sense his point of view in a progressive manner. There is also an instance in the Bible where the Apostles made a certain prediction but it later turned out to be a miscalculation.Jehovah did not condemn them as false prophets likewise through humility we will be able to accept whatever comes from the slave class through Jehovah to us knowing it will work out for our own good. BY MAYBEL. GALSHAWKY AT YAHOO.COM A GRADUAL way means that the light is getting brighter. Not that the light becomes total darkness or a flickering light. Not a situation from black and white. In 1945 in the Dutch "consolation": "Vertroosting" written by the watchtower that learned the Jehovah Witnesses that a bloodtransfusion never has been forbidden by Jehovah; that is an act of charity and that only Pharisees are refusing bloodtransfusions. A few months later the light became a complete darkness for thousands of Jehovah witnesses. Meanwhile thousands are killed by the prohibition of bloodtransfusions from premature babies, children to adults. In spite of the fact that there is NOT ONE quote in the bible who tells them to do such horrible things. A typical example of the vision of the watchtower concerning new light is the resurrection from the people of Sodom and Gomorra. "The men of Sodom will be resurrected." (Watchtower 7/1879, p. 8). "The men of Sodom will not be resurrected." (WT, 6/1/1952, 338). "The men of Sodom will be resurrected." (WT, 8/1/1965, p. 479). "The men of Sodom will not be resurrected." (WT, 6/1/1988, p.,31). "The men of Sodom. will be resurrected." (You Can Live 'Forever on Paradise-On Earth early editions,p.179). "Men of Sodom will not be resurrected." (You Can Live 'Forever on Paradise-On Earth- later editions, p. 179). "The men of Sodom will be resurrected." (Insight On The Scriptures, Vol. p. 985). "The men of Sodom will -not, be resurrected." (Revelation Its Grand Climax At Hand, p. 273). Further examples of tragedies with the new light: From 1931 to 1952 the watchtower banned their members from having vaccinations based on their interpretation of the bible.: Vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after the flood (The Golden Age, 4 Jan. 1931 p.293). "Vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after the flood. Vaccination has never saved a human life. It does not prevent small pox"( Awake! February 4, 1931, pp. 293-294) "New light" appeared as: "Thinking people would rather have smallpox than vaccination, because the latter sows seeds of syphilis, cancers, eczema, erysipelas, scrofula, consumption, even leprosy and many other loathsome affections. Hence the practice of vaccinations is a crime, an outrage, and a delusion" (The Golden Age, 5 Jan.1929 p. 502) proves their medical and scientific quack. A madness that killed thousands of good people. Thousands were disfellowshipped by the watchtower because they did not accept their mad killing "meanings". From 1967 to 1980 transplantations were forbidden because they were cannibalism! "When men of science conclude that this normal process will no longer work and they suggest removing the organ and replacing it directly with an organ from another human, this is simply a shortcut. Those who submit to such operations are thus living off the flesh of another human. That is cannibalistic. However, in allowing man to eat animal flesh Jehovah God did not grant permission for humans to try to perpetuate their lives by cannibalistically taking into their bodies human flesh, whether chewed or in the form of whole organs or body parts taken from others."( The Watchtower, November 15, 1967, p.702) 1961: Donating organs for transplant up to your conscience. (The Watchtower 1961, p. 480. 1967 Organ transplants are a form of cannibalism and to be shunned. (The Watchtower Nov. 15, 1967, p. 702) (compare 1961) 1977 Blood transfusions are organ transplants: " . . . many a person might decline blood simply because it is essentially an organ transplant that at best is only partially compatible with his own blood." (Jehovah's Witnesses and the Question of Blood, 1977, p. 41.) (compare 1961) 1980 Organ transplants are a matter of conscience, decided by the individual. (The Watchtower March 15, 1980, p. 31) (compare 1967, 1977) 1984 Accepting a bone-marrow transplant is up to your conscience. (The Watchtower May 15, 1984, p. 31) A mass of "new light" appeared considering the blood fractions policy. The watchtower allows secondary blood fractions because they can pass the barrier of the fetus and mother. For the same reason they forbid the primary blood fractions in spite of the fact that white blood cells and red blood cells also pass on a natural way this barrier. The white blood cells pass even the body of the mother by the mothers' milk. In all cases it's a natural migration who protects the life of the fetus, mother or baby. The doctrine of the watchtower kills the fetus, mother or baby. The fetus or baby cannot on a natural way abstain from blood. The watchtower rob even the live of a premature child that needs in most case after birth fractions of blood. Another "new light" is that the watchtower allows primary blood fractions but forbid the witnesses to give blood! Probably for the Jehovah Witnesses all the watchtower false prophesies are interpreted as "new light". Most of all the actual Jehovah Witnesses are completely uninformed about the "night light" concerning the prophesy of the Armageddon and other events. A summary of this eschatology: Ø Last days begin in 1799 and 1914 Ø Christ's return in 1874 and 1914 Ø Christ as king in 1878, 1914 Ø Resurrection of 144000 in 1878, 1918 Ø Judgment of religion 1878, 1919 Ø Great Tribulation 1914, 1915, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975 Some years, months before the prophesied date from the approaching Armageddon: encouragement to sell their houses and give up their work, discouragement to do higher education because they will never grow old in that system of things, not to married and not even to have children and wait until the Armageddon has passed… The prophesy of the Armageddon in the autumn from 1914, 1915 was based on the dimensions (inches) from the system of corridors in the great pyramid of Gizeh. The watchtower prophesied the resurrection to human perfection from Abraham, Isaac…, in 1925. The watchtower had even a mansion for their comeback to the earth: "Beth Sarim" in San Diego. Later they sold the mansion. It can still be visited. In the book "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" Judge Rutherford wrote, . . . "the great jubilee cycle is due to begin in 1925. At that time the earthly phase of the kingdom shall be recognized. The Apostle Paul in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews names a long list of faithful men who died before the crucifixion of the Lord and before beginning of the selection of the church. . . . They are to be resurrected as perfect men and constitute the princes or rulers in the earth, according to his promise. . . .Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews chapter eleven, to the condition of human perfection" Some more facts that might bring "new light" in the closed mind of the Jehovah Witnesses are: The position to "stand for the political doctrine of Germany and against the Anglo American coalition and the anti Semitic position in 1933." (Yearbook 1934) The situation Malawi and Mexico: double standards for life or persecution and death. The profiling in Mexico as a cultural organization instead of a religious organization in order to protect the real estate from the watchtower from being confiscated by Mexican authorities. The membership for ten years with their worst enemy; namely the UNO. From 1992 until 2001 they were member of: "the beast of Babylon". During ten years they published articles in the literature from UNO. The Bulgarian friendly agreement before the European court to allow bloodtransfusions and as consequence be accepted as religion in Bulgaria. The selling of magical seed and all kind of medical quack equipment by Russell and buddies…. Hiding thousands of cases of criminal sexual abuse on children, raping and cruelties for the authorities to show the organization in the best light to the outside world and the Jehovah Witnesses. With as result the foundation of Silent Lambs; an organization to report abuse and to protect abused children. This are all facts with "new light" ABOUT the watchtower who can brighten the mind of a Jehovah Witnesses in the hope that he will read former literature of the watchtower to discover the truth about the "truth". All facts that can be read in the SILENT WITNESS of the watchtower: their own literature.


When do Jehovah's witnesses predict the end of the world?

Jehovah's Witnesses don't know if 2012 will be the end of the world. When Jesus was asked when the "conclusion of this system"would be ("end of the world" - King James Translation) he said at Matthew 24:36 that nobody knew the date. The sign he gave in Matthew 24:3-14 (especially verse 14) matches our time very well. The Witnesses certainly think the end of this system is not far away. Note (as mentioned in verse 14) this would be "good news". The witnesses understand "the end of the world" to be the end of this corrupt system ruled by Satan. Not the end of the planet or humankind as is often meant when people talk of "the end of the world". Following the end, God's Kingdom will govern mankind. They look forward to such a change with hope, not dread.
