According to Jehovah's Witnesses, the "last days" began in 1914. In October 1914, Jesus Christ was allegedly installed as king - for the time being only to rule in heaven. In 1919, Jesus is said to have "chosen" his organization on earth: The Jehovah's Witnesses.Oh dear....now here's another one who thinks they're an expert on JW's

That's what you believe. You invent things that have nothing to do with the truth.

It is your unpleasant cult which talks rubbish in my opinion and that of many others, which is why most people slam their doors as soon as those pests come knocking.

You should begin to follow the Bible and not your Charles Russel who was a mason.
Here is a picture of the grave of your founder Charles. The pyramid and the overturned cross saying it all.
Yes, Charles Russel is an example.Can a person be Freemason and Jehovah's Witness at the same time?
Yes, Charles Russel is an example.
Here's a quote from C.T. Russel, published in Jehovah's Witnesses Yearbook, 1973
"I'm happy to have the special opportunity to say some things* about things we agree with our Masonic friends about being here in a building dedicated to Freemasonry. And we are Masons too, if I may say so in full..."
Do you really want to know? Are you all wanting to turn this thread into an inquisition?@Deeje
Is any of this true about JWs?
12 Outrageous Facts about Jehovah’s Witnesses you need to Know
First fake
In the old scriptures of the Bible it says in John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Is the New World Translation a valid version of the Bible?
but in the "Bible" of the Jehovah's Witnesses it says
... and the Word was a God.
The Jehovah's Witnesses want to hide the divinity of Jesus by adding a "one" to this passage. Because "a God" means "Mighty One". The original scriptures prove that there is no "a", a clear forgery.
Second fake
In the old scriptures of the Bible it says in Hebrews 1:8
But with respect to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; and: A scepter of rectitude is the scepter of thy kingdom.
Heb. 1:8 and Psalm 45:6, "God is thy throne." | CARM.org
but in the "Bible" of the Jehovah's Witnesses it says
But with respect to the Son: God is your throne, ...
Again they try to hide the divinity of Jesus. The old scriptures prove that God the Father personally addresses Jesus with the title God. God, the Father, addressed nobody another with the title God, Jesus is the only one. This biblical passage also proves the Trinity.
Third fake
In the oldest original copies of the Bible it says in Genesis 1:2
Now the earth was astonishingly empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the water.
but in the "Bible" of the Jehovah's Witnesses it says
... and God's power...
Here they try to present the Holy Spirit as just a "power", but the Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is a person.
Fourth fake
They claim that Jesus is an angel, but Jesus is not once identified as that. The Bible even makes a clear distinction between Jesus and the angels.
Hebrews 1: 5-8
For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”?
And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all Gods’s angels worship him.”
Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.”
But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
Fifth fake
They claim that the Holy Spirit is not a person but only a power. But the Bible clearly teaches that the Holy Spirit is a person.
The Holy Spirit ...
• teaches the disciples (Luke 12:12, John 14:26, 1 Corinthians 2:13)
• leads the sons(Romans 8:14, Galatians 5:18)
• witnesses the forgiveness of sins to Christians (Hebrews 10:15)
• convict the world of sin, justice and judgment (John 16:8-11)
• leads believers into the whole truth (John 16:13)
The Scriptures not only show that the Spirit of God is acting, but are also presented as someone with whom something happens.
The Holy Spirit can ...
• to be blasphemed (Mark 3:29-30)
• be lied to (Acts 5:3)
• be tried, that is, put to the test (Acts 5:9)
• to be fought (Acts 7:51)
• be saddened (Ephesians 4:30)
Sixth fake
They claim that Jesus is not God, but the Bible teaches the opposite.
........
- Jesus is omnipotent (Revelation 1:8)
- Jesus is the true God (John 20:28-29) (Romans 9:5) (1 John 5:20)(Isaiah 9:6)(Hebrews 1:8)
- Jesus is the creator (Romans 11:36) (Colossians 1:16-17)
- God became flesh and Jesus is this flesh (John 1:1+14) (1 Timothy 3:16)
- Jesus is worshipped (Acts 7:59-60)
Seventh fake
They teach that the name "Jehovah" is God's(father) name, but that's not true. This name is wrong.
The name jehovah is a fictitious name of the catholic church, in the 14th or 15th century catholic theologians mixed the title AdOnAi with YHWH and from this came "Jehovah".
The name Jehovah is wrong not only because it was created by a "mix", but also because the letters J and V are not present in Ancient Hebrew. The J is usually a Y and the V/W is a U (in ancient hebrew there are no J or V/W sound). Also, "YHWH" is wrong, because the letter W did not exist until much later. The W was a "double U" before it was changed. YHUH is the right form and not "YHWH".
The name Jehovah is not only wrong but also blasphemy, because Je-hovah means earth-disaster. The Je comes from the Greek and means also in Greek earth, Hovah means in Hebrew disaster. Strong's Hebrew: 1943. הֹוָה (hovah) -- a ruin, disaster
Yud(Y)-Hei(AH)-UaU(U)-Hei(AH) are the 4 letters of the name.
If you connect all the letters now, then the name YAHUAH comes out. That's the true name of the father. In the ancient Hebrew, YHUH does not mean "I am who I am," , but BEHOLD A HAND, BEHOLD A NAIL.

No one is really interested in the answers but because you all want to believe the lies and twisted half truths, it's not really worth my time to reply to this stuff. You will believe whatever you like anyway. (Matthew 5:11)

Good grief! who told you that? Why not ask before you post rubbish?
All the Masons I have known were Baptist.
Basic Principles. Freemasonry is not a religion, nor is it a substitute for religion. It requires of its members a belief in God as part of the obligation of every responsible adult, but advocates no sectarian faith or practice. Masonic ceremonies include prayers, both traditional and extempore, to reaffirm each individual's dependence on God and to seek divine guidance. Freemasonry is open to men of any faith, but religion may not be discussed at Masonic meetings.
The Supreme Being. Masons believe that there is one God and that people employ many different ways to seek, and to express what they know of God. Masonry primarily uses the appellation, "Grand Architect of the Universe," and other non-sectarian titles, to address the Deity. In this way, persons of different faiths may join together in prayer, concentrating on God, rather than differences among themselves. Masonry believes in religious freedom and that the relationship between the individual and God is personal, private, and sacred.
Freemasonry and Religion
That's what I thought. My grandfather was a Mason. Good guy.
