Jehovah's Witnesses Straight Talk - Forum/Blog

The mind of a Jehovah's Witness is a complex mixture of love and hate for mankind, and unwittingly God himself. They become caught up in a legal system of things that insidiously steals their love of God.

When one studies with Jehovah's Witnesses they are taken by the clarity of scriptures, and the hope of a people that oneday will live upon earth in a beautiful paradise forever. This causes them to start looking at God, Jehovah, most not knowing God has a name, as someone who cares for human race, and them. The explanation of evil and wickedness by JW's gives further clarity to long held questions as to why God allows mankind to suffer.

The idea of a world wide brotherhood speaking the same message in unity is most impressive to a person coming out of religion, and worldly confusion. Thus, they are moved to love God, but soon they will be educated in ways of hate, unwittingly, until the cycle is set in their minds for the rest of their lives, even if they leave the group.

What Legalism Is?

The word legalism is most often leveled against Jehovah's Witnesses, which offends them, and they see it as an attack against their faith by the Devil. Sadly, those leveling the accusation themselves don't fully grasp the meaning of the biblical word, nor do Jehovah's Witnesses comprehend its real meaning by WTS interpretation of the word legalism.

The teaching of the bible is Spirit Vs flesh the more we become a legal person the more fleshly we become lacking faith, or having no spirituality. This is a confounding truth for Jehovah's Witnesses who believe the more they obey the rule of their organization the greater will become their spirituality.

When one accepts key points of Jehovah's Witnesses teaching, something not taught by most other religions the hook is set. The bait is truth, truth is something the physical mind is hooked on, because it is a law that gives us stability and can be defend, allowing us to judge good and evil of others by.

Witnesses are always remained where they learned those truth's from. In other words, because they learned them from WTS than all else the WTS says and does is also the truth. Thus, starts the insidious legalization of the person to conform to every thought and dictates of its ruling class. Love for God and His Son Christ Jesus is slowly replaced for love of WTS and its governing body who claim to speak for Christ on earth.

However, we must remember the same position is taken by all false religion on earth, that is, certain members speaking for God, thus, giving them power and authority over others.

Lost of Faith

Faith cannot be legalized and remain faith, most witnesses do not understand such a statements, but let us explain? Faith has no “laws” against it, it is a gift of God's Spirit, one part of the fruit of God's Spirit which he gives to each one of us by measures. Faith is not a competition trying to prove we have more faith than the other guy or religion.

Faith comes from love, not law, or rules, it come from a God of love, whom we trust because we love him. We love God, we obey from a clean heart of faith in everything he ask us to do. In other words, we do not scheme with God by looking at his words as a legal book trying to get around certain clauses to exempt us from obeying, or too obey, let alone making others do the same.

The loss of faith, hence, love for God is when we are slowly intergraded into legalism, we replace faith in Spirit, Holy Spirit for faith in laws of the WTS. Lets clarify this point; all acts of faith for Jehovah's Witnesses must fit within WTS policy, rules, and laws, if not it is discarded as evil, or wicked, and apostasy. This is common practice in all religious institutions. Moreover, it is practice by all institutions created by man. But the latter we are not talking about faith, but acts done by members therein.

Subsequently, if Christ were to appear again on earth he would be rejected by all religion because he ask Peter to walk on the water, and freed a woman from adultery after being convicted right so my the unbreakable law of the Jews. Faith cannot be dictated by man or his laws created to punish sin, faith is from God, from above coming down to us a gift or his love too us. Thus, it can increase and decrease in us according to God's will.

Faith to a WTS member is increased by how much they can conformed to rules and laws of the society. When making a mistake the solution is toget more involved in WTS actives which often works, just as it would in any institution religious or otherwise on earth when having problems disobeying the rules. Sadly, the opposite also happens when a person cannot remove a bad habit, not having the will, or power within themselves, and they are tossed out, told they cannot pray because they're evil, and God Jehovah will not hear their prayers, and the only way they can become clean is by being obedient to WTS rules.

Subsequently, the WTS has stolen the blood of Christ, who has freely forgiven our sins, byreplacing the sacred blood of Christ with WTS rules. Much like the Pharisees who were going to stone the known adulterous who broke an unbreakable law of God, but Christ forgiving her sins despite the hate of the Pharisees for doing so!

Faith must then be in God alone, proven by the many accounts of God forgiving what mankind could not by religion. Hence, the lost of love comes from legalization of our faith.

Hate From Legalization of Our Faith

It is often noted and stated by the world, and other religions that ex-Jehovah's Witnesses are fueled by judgmental hate, and it is so, because that is what has been done to them as God's love. Judgments is God's love too Jehovah's Witnesses, its that simple!

Witness have been inculcated with physical judgment of others by the uses of what they think is perfect law, giving them the right because its is perfect (from the WTS governing body) and from God, to judge all matters in this life.

The WTS is merit based, a person grows and prosper within by their ability to judge others members against the WTS rules. This is proof of God's Spirit to its members, particularly the elders. Those in leadership position are formed by their ability to apply laws and rules of the WTS to its members.

This hate alludes WTS members think this judgment to be love, the highest form of love, God's love. Unfortunately, they fail to understand God himself abolished the wall of judgment to bring peace to us. Mankind could not have had peace with God in judgment. Those uneducated by Holy Spirit cannot understand that judgment is proof of not knowing God, and a lost of Holy Spirit.

Furthermore, when members are kick out, disfellowship they have no recourse but more judgment of self, and others to gain a good standing within the WTS again. Freely forgiving is non-existent within WTS policy, none can be freely forgiven they must meet judgment of other members, and climb a ladder of rules and laws to gain forgiveness within the society.

This is promoted as God's love, which is actually distrust for all humans, Thus, proof of repentance must be proven by works of law the very anti pas of God, and Christ.

The Diseased Mind

Much has been said regarding the WTS uses of the words disease mind for ex-members, and like most biblical teaching of the WTS if one goes one-hundred and eighty degrees the opposite of the WT legalization of God word one will find the truth.

Diseased mind found in God's word the bible was in regard to those trying to legalize God's word, and not freely forgiving as Christ had forgave them. Judgment by legalization means a person mind is set upon distrusting everyone, and their motives, and their reasoning for failing. One cannot look at another with a good eye, a good heart unless they meet the requirement of the WTS.

With the mouth one says he loves his neighbor, but in his heart he is judging him, and trying to make him obey so he can associated with him freely and not be condemned by the WTS policy.

Now think how calculated that is? How corrupt that is when it comes to a person stating they have a clean heart because they have the truth, and love their neighbor? Nothing is done freely by WT members, without the person first paying us a debt, the debt is obedience to WTS rules, we have been inculcated with.

The Corrupting of Witnesses Children

This mystery sadly for most Jehovah's Witnesses parents; is why do so many of their children leave the WTS? But not only that why they become so hateful towards all that the WTS stands for? Why they have no real forgiveness in their hearts of their own families still Jehovah's Witnesses?

The answer is very simple, love has been doled out too them by meeting WTS rules. In other words, their whole life is based upon fear of judgment. Fear of losing their parents love if they cannot make the grade within the WTS. The parents wants the child to see their good motives, how they wanted only what was best for them, but somehow, none of that is seen or felt by the now adult child.

Judgment is hate no matter how we twist the word into love, if hate is all the child understands by rule of law condemning them, how can they know love that freely forgives them of their biggest mistakes? But are the parents themselves ignorant? Do they believe with sincere hearts they have shown love to their child by trying to inculcated them into WTS policy?

Do they have a relationship with God by law, or Spirit and truth, do they even know the love of God, in unmerited kindness, or do they like so many in the world thinking love is weak, an emotion that only those wanting to disobey the rules uses?

Destruction of All Faith

Where any group believes they are better, cleaner, superior there will comes many abuses, denied or otherwise the fruit will soon manifest itself. Hiding bad fruit to make the tree look good is where evil is, not that we were misled, or tricked, but we continued to defend evil as good.

Children of witnesses are often ruthless in deception which is shocking to WTS members, but once again the answer is really simple they have been trained to lie to keep their parents love, and not be discarded as trash.

Everything within the community of Jehovah's Witnesses is life and death decision regarding spirituality that is a heavy load for any child to understand. If a child cannot be loved because of a decision who could imagine them to be open and honest with problems? Moreover, if a child is given those tools at youth how could the parent not expect to be judge harshly for there own hypocrisy as a life and death decision inculcated into the child from birth? In other words, if judgment gives a person the right to hate, that is, for any intelligent person understand where real respect comes from, for us to show no respect for the person they must be deserving death, not life, and forgiveness. than if the child judges the parent hiding their real feeling from other members to stay in good standing there can be no real respect for the parent by the adult child, because they are judged by the very rules put upon him when he was a child.

Hence, we should not be surprised the vacuum is filled with all sorts of evil and disrespect for everything, for the parent themselves have taught the child to hate everything not of Jehovah's Witnesses, not even praying for anyone not of their faith. That all humans not a Jehovah's Witnesses has willfully reject God's truth, and are in rebellion against God, thus, they are an enemy, and a persecutor of their faith. None can be trusted! Can trust come from a lack of love? Can trust come from such harsh judgment?

No, subsequently, when cast out into the so called world they have every imaginable judgment and fear that everyone is trying to hurt and mislead them into bad. Faith in God does not exist in faith by rules if that is all their minds and heart knows, everyone is breaking the rules, so where can they go but down, down deep into depression and fear. Every act of kindness is seen as a plot of evil to ensnare them, because people don't just love or be kind without a motive of changing someone into a member.

The Wall of Hate

Many never come out from the white washed wall of hate inculcated upon them by WTS teachings they assume all is evil in the world, and out to get them, they have been taught in corporate identity which takes all responsibility of loving each other and neighbor as ourselves away, giving them a legal right to judge each other and neighbor, a hands off approach to life. Much like the computer generation that never has toget to know the person they lash out against in harsh judgment because of being detached from human contact.

God sent us his Son Christ Jesus, so we could have personal contact with Him is Spirit and truth, a truth that took down the wall of hate, how by forgiving us our sins, knowing us personally no matter what sins we are plagued with. Christ was not afraid of becoming unclean when associating with sinner, he was full of love, knowing something WTS member cannot comprehend, their is no laws against love, love cannot be judged by laws for sin, and wickedness, love cannot be polluted by our touching something not of God.

Love is from above given from the God of love as a gift of his love to us, love is what cleanses us from all sin, wickedness, and false teaching of man and religion. It is the Spirit that is truth, but not any spirit, but the Spirit of God who is what? Basic teaching, love!

We cannot know God in distrust, we cannot know God by truths from our bible, we come to know God by His love, without love, we are nothing, we are not free, we remain in judgment of sin. The truth of our bibles becomes known when we walk in love. Judging religion, by religion ends up in more judgments, it does not heal the breach. Judging ones parents by laws, proving they were wrong does not solve the problem forward, it only creates more judgment.

Jehovah's Witnesses will only be corrected completely by love just as their wayward children will be. We are not talking about a religious love, but in truth and Spirit that creates trust and real love for us and neighbor. We own no one a single thing but to love them that means we are not trying toget something from them, not even bring them into another religion.

We give them the gift of God's love, if we ourselves have it, we are not on a quest of hate for evil acts the WTS has done to us or them. Love exposes the lie because it is such a contrast between the judgmental thoughts of religion, and the truth of God Spirit freeing us from all unrighteousness because we love God and each other.

Some very thoughtful comments Daniel, it is clear to me that are Heavenly Father by His spirit will help us eventually overcome the lie we are unlovable and passed redemption regardless that are doubting hearts tell us otherwise.
Thank you for your unceasing efforts to comfort us.

Hi Brain,

It always good to hear from you. I am glad you enjoyed the thoughts. I don't like specifically talking about JW's because it causes some much offense.

But the children and so many of the parents are at a loss as to why they are experience so many problems with the grown children? It has become a plague, of hate, I am not exempt from the problem either, so I few thoughts on the subject.

Your Brother,

Daniel
