Religious Reform

    What needs to be reformed in Jehovah's Witnesses? Reading the Bible would be a start. Not controlling people would be another. Loving one another in the agape manner of early Christians would be a start. Believing in the Trinity is an essential. Stop focusing on God's wrath and focus more on God's love as revealed through Christ.

    Jehovah's Witnesses read God's Word daily and all members including the administrative position do not control anyone. A person either voluntarily submits to do God's will or they do not. No one is controlled. Jehovah's Witnesses reject the Trinity as incompatible with objective reality. The Trinity doctrine doesn’t make any sense and is unscriptural.

    For God is [a God], not of disorder, but of peace. 1 Corinthians 14:33

    Jehovah's Witnesses do focus on God's love as revealed through Christ and other prophets as well.

    w08 10/15 p. 9 par. 10 Jehovah Watches Us for Our Good

    During the pre-Christian era, Jehovah’s love for his people was revealed through his prophets and other faithful servants. Nowadays, it is seen, above all, in the Head of the Christian congregation, Jesus Christ. (Eph. 1:22, 23) Thus, in the book of Revelation, Jesus is depicted as a lamb with “seven eyes, which eyes mean the seven spirits of God that have been sent forth into the whole earth.” (Rev. 5:6) Yes, empowered with the fullness of God’s holy spirit, Jesus has perfect discernment. He too sees what we are on the inside, and nothing escapes his notice.

    Reading the Bible consecutively, verse by verse, in the aggregate would make sense. Seeing themes and important matters as opposed to trivial oddities is also a start. Worshipping God, rather than an organization, would be crucial. Stopping the hatred of women is another goal.
    Music, art, dance, and joy rather than a bunch of Nazi goose stepping creeps.
    You are not communicating with the choir here.

    Again, Jehovah's Witnesses read God's Word daily and there are plenty of verse by verse commentaries published by Jehovah's Witnesses that accurately explain the Bible. Jehovah's Witnesses worship God and not any human. That accusation is simply a lie perpetrated by some opposers. Hatred of women??? I don't think so.

    w07 1/15 p. 6 Man and Woman—A Dignified Role for Each

    What a grand privilege godly women enjoy today! “Jehovah himself gives the saying; the women telling the good news are a large army,” says Psalm 68:11. Such women are to be commended. For instance, their skillful teaching at home Bible studies is leading many to accept true teachings that please God. Married Christian women who help their children to become believers and are supportive of their husbands who have many congregation duties also deserve praise. (Proverbs 31:10-12, 28) Single women too have a dignified place in God’s arrangement, and Christian men are admonished to “entreat . . . older women as mothers, younger women as sisters with all chasteness.”—1 Timothy 5:1, 2.


    Jehovah's Organization doesn't deprive anyone of anything. Maybe entertainment saturated with violence and God dishonoring themes, but music, art, dance, and joy are not excluded from the organization by any means.

    Maze,

    In the WT in 1895, Brother Russell wrote, "Beware of organization. It is wholly unnecessary."

    So he did not come to God through any existing "faithful and discreet slave" or submit to its authority.

    That means:

    1. The Watchtower organization has no historical continuity with any organization founded by Jesus.

    2. If submitting to Jehovah's existing organization is essential for everlasting life, Brother Russell did not have everlasting life.

    3. If Brother Russell was right, then the Watchtower Society's claim that submitting to its authority is essential for everlasting life is bogus.

    So you obsess over me like some sort of sociopathic stalker? If you're sick in the head sobeit. There are obsessive people like that in society. Since you've represented yourself as one; what do you need?
