Jehovah's false witnesses are some of the worst of the worst.
Lets see how Jehovah's Witnesses stack up according to the Bible against the churches as well as others who "independent". Jesus made known the righteous requirements of Jehovah God, saying that "every good tree
produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit....Every tree
not producing fine fruit gets
cut down and thrown into the fire."(Matt 7:17, 19)
Jesus further said: "Not everyone saying to me, ' Lord ! Lord ! ' will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one
doing the will of my Father."(Matt 7:21) Who are doing ' the will of the Father' ? What is God's will ? The apostle Paul wrote that God's "will is that all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth."(1 Tim 2:4)
Who are the ones who are following in Jesus "footsteps" to go from "house to house" as
he did ?(Acts 20:20) Who are the ones following Jesus words "to go therefore and
make disciples of people of all the nations....
teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you" ?(Matt 28:19, 20)
Who are the one that is fulfilling Matthew 24:14, whereby Jesus said that "this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations", so that God can bring "the end" upon unresponsive and wicked mankind ?
Are the churches doing this work or someone who feels as an "independent" going among the masses of mankind to first preach the "good news of the kingdom", and then teach them what the "kingdom" is and what its requirements are in their home if they will listen ? Jehovah’s Witnesses spent some
1.7 billion hours following Jesus words and conducted some
8.5 million Bible studies in over 236 lands around the world in 2012.
Who are the ones teaching responsive people what the ‘ fruits of the kingdom ‘ are (Matt 21:43), so that they too can strip off the old personality” and put on the “new personality” that pleases Jehovah God ?(Col 3:9, 10) Who are the ones displaying the “fruitage of the spirit”, whereby they show genuine love and refuse to have any participation in the nations of the “world” military campaigns that often slaughters others, but remaining politically neutral as Jesus showed ?(John 15:19; 18:36)
Who are the ones that can be identified as loyal “witnesses” for Jehovah and are in the company of “so great a cloud of witnesses” of the past (Heb 12:1), such as Abraham who called upon the name of Jehovah, asking him: “Sovereign Lord Jehovah, what will you give me seeing that I am going childless ?”(Gen 15:2)
Or of Noah of which Genesis 7:1 says that “Jehovah said to Noah: “Go, you and all your household into the ark.” Or of the prophet Jeremiah, who said: “You are righteous, O Jehovah, when I make my complaint to you.”(Jer 12:1) All of the “so great a cloud of witnesses” honored Jehovah, using his name freely. Are the churches doing this ?
