Disfellowshipping. Judgment. False Prophecy
1Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jehovah's Witnesses will say ';Lord Lord'; and he will not hear them
Ungodly actions are easy enough to peg....
but undgodly doctrines are these %26gt; loss of salvation, Jesus not being God, transubstantiation, rosary beads, repetitive prayer, that Mary never had sex after Jesus was born and that Jesus had no brothers and sisters, that Mary is a mediator between God and man, apostolic succession, purgatory, penance and Eucharist required at least once a year...
False Prophets......
Jehovah's Witnesses and their many false prophecies
The Witnesses make many claims in their attempt to convert you to their faith. They profess to have the only true Christian church, to be the only true representatives of God, to have the only correct biblical teaching, and to be the only true announcers of Jehovah's coming kingdom.
If they are the only true church and are the only true voice of God's word, then what they say should prove to be true, especially in prophecy. When it comes to predicting the future, the Watchtower organization fails miserably. Following are some of the false predictions made over the years by the Watchtower organization. If you present these to a JW, he will probably say something like, ';Those are taken out of context,'; or ';They didn't claim to be the prophet of God,'; or ';The light is getting brighter and we are understanding Bible prophecy better now,'; etc. Make a copy of these false prophecies, found in the appendix, and give it to them to check. They are right out of the Witnesses' literature.
Remember Deut. 18:22, ';If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.'; If someone makes a false prophecy, and they have claimed to be a prophet of God, then they are false prophets and are not to be listened to. Do the Witnesses claim to be the prophet of God? Yes, they do.
In 1972 the Jehovah's Witness Watchtower claimed to be the prophet of God.
IDENTIFYING THE ';PROPHET'; -- ';So does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of dangers and to declare things to come? These questions can be answered in the affirmative. Who is this prophet?...This ';prophet'; was not one man, but was a body of men and women. It was the small group of footstep followers of Jesus Christ, known at that time as International Bible Students. Today they are known as Jehovah's Christian Witnesses...Of course, it is easy to say that this group acts as a 'prophet' of God. It is another thing to prove it,'; (Watchtower, Apr. 1, 1972, p. 197). (See Deut. 18:21.)

* 1922 ';The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the Scriptures than 1914,'; (Watchtower, Sept. 1, 1922, p. 262).

* 1925 ';The year 1925 is here. With great expectation Christians have looked forward to this year. Many have confidently expected that all members of the body of Christ will be changed to heavenly glory during this year. This may be accomplished. It may not be. In his own due time God will accomplish his purposes concerning his people. Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year,'; (Watchtower, Jan. 1, 1925, p. 3).

* 1931 ';There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1917, 1918, and 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time...and they also learned to quit fixing dates,'; (Vindication, p. 338).

Additional Details
What leading Protestant Greek scholars say about the ';New World Translation'; :
Dr. Bruce M. Metzger, professor of New Testament at Princeton University, calls the NWT ';a frightful mistranslation,.. Erroneous...pernicious...reprehensible.. If the Jehovah's Witnesses take this translation seriously, they are polytheists.'; (Professor of New Testament Language and Literature)
David Koresh of the Branch Davidian religious sect -were pretty out there.
Whilst I am not a Christian, but am religiously/spiritually aligned to the RCs.
Why don't you get your Holy Bible out and quit being lazy. Look them up yourself and STUDY the Bible. You just might learn a thing or two. I recommend you start in Proverbs.
Rev. Shelley
Christians who believe in torture, killing and revenge.
Christians who think it's right to imagine other people burning like a candle in Hell.
for example ; the christians say that Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree an apple. It was not an apple it was dates.
Melons.
I really don't like oranges...
Why?!
Is this a question?
Teaching lies about...
Christmas, Santa Claus, Easter, Easter bunny. Pick a holiday they celebrate and it's got something pagan attached to it.
Teaching that there is an immortal soul. Not according to the Bible!
Teaching that everyone goes to heaven. Not according to the Bible!
Teaching eternal torment in a burning hell. Not according to the Bible!
Allowing unrepentantly immoral people to remain in good standing in their churches. Often their own clergy. The Bible says 'remove the wicked man from among yourselves.'
Blessing wars. Christendom, not true Christianity, is actually responsible for all the worst wars in history.
Teaching that Jesus is his own Father. Not according to the Bible!
Mixing in politics, often running politics. Jesus told his true followers
to be 'no part of the world.'
The inquisition. Torture and murder of anyone who disagreed with their politics. The Crusades, Torture and murder of millions. Children forced to fight in the Crusades.
Incalculable greed. Look at the money and wealth controlled by the Catholic Church alone. Then toss in mainstream Protestant churches. Televangelists and their ill-gotten millions. The list is endless here.
OK that's just a start. I'll let someone else add a few.
