A new website. What's even more distressing about the Mormons. Branta-Claus goes to a Yegovah's Witness Kingdom Hall.

Hello, all......

Great things can happen when solid believers talk faith w/folks of other backgrounds. Even if they never "convert", their questions drive us to our Bibles & prayer. Looking at other systems helps w/critical thinking. This develops the art of apologetics & verse memorization.

Mormons are great neighbors but they're ultimately tri-theistic & polytheistic. They believe that the Father, Son & Holy Ghost are 3 distinct gods. Eternal "temple marriages" falsely promise them deity upon death, Men are also told they will get endless celestial sex with their "spirit wives" on their own planets.    

​Driving onto the lot of the LDS church where they host a LARGE English class, your's truly counted 25 cars. The polytheism, of which we are accused by people from "that other Abrahamic faith", will be confirmed in their minds as being central to all Christendom when LDS theology is explained. Yikes!!!! More workers are needed! John 4:35
​
The lack of salt & light is why cults grow like fungus from uncorrected error. The Watchtower Society (Jehovah's Witness) is such a group that is so close yet so far.

I've befriended an elderly JW man who lives on what is essentially a Kingdom Hall "parsonage". Our 1st talk commenced w/a discourse on their structure. In a vulnerable moment, he noted w/dread the tedious records he was required to keep for a few yrs. as ''circuit overseer'' over 14 congregations. One thing we know about folks under the Law.....they live by law & accolades.....So, before initiating doctrine, I commend them for a few things despite our differences......their dedication & care for people......that they often exceed Christians in modesty & racial recon....(They don't just talk about integrating. They just are.).....& that their tight community builds every Hall w/volunteer labor. Impressive. Preaching duties rotate, so they stay alert.....if they only had a true Gospel!   By partitioning themselves, they've become an unreached people group, withdrawing from all who affirm Jesus' Deity. By any standard, their evangelism stories are accounts of mere mechanical recruitment & lack passion. But he was stunned (as I still am) when I told him of my divine encounters. 

He busted a gut upon hearing that (for diff. reasons), "Branta-Claus" also eschews Christmas. "Santa Claus says 'Ho Ho Ho'....Branta-Claus says "No, No, No!'" He giggled like a little kid! I've actually come to enjoy his company. He's not so rigid. 

Verses proving Jesus' Deity: Zechariah 12:10; John 1:18, 5:18, 9:38, 20:28; Philippians 2:5-6; Colossians 2:9, Hebrews 1:8-9....& many more by cross reference & inference.....Verses proving the Holy Spirit's Personhood & Deity: Acts 5:3, Hebrews 3:7, Romans 8:16. JW's are sneeeeeaakky. Ya gotta watch'em! Their main source is the deeply corrupted "New World Translation" (always suggest the KJV. They mainly read it before 1950!) My friend is a 50+ yr. veteran & has agility w/other versions. His best argument was the seeming separation between the identities of "God" & "mediator" in 1 Tim. 2:5 (KJV). "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus". Isolated, this can be twisted to mean there's 1 God---And then 1 man. I confidently told him, "I don't have every answer but right doctrine is never established by 1 verse." (Acts 20:27, 2 Tim. 3:16.) We're not called to results. Only Mark 16:15. 


Their #1 tenet is a claim to know the true Name of God....Jehovah....(a good Name but not the only One). We agreed that God had explicit instructions on everything Temple related & it was curtains for the priest if he fumbled (nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. If you don't get it, read Ex. 26:31-37). Having established that, I asked why God's proper Name is Jehovah in English & Yegovah in their Russian NWT (many variations in other languages). I told him that, by his standard, we're ALL in trouble.....nobody seems to know how to correctly pronounce God's Name! 

PLS consider attending JW conventions when they come to your town. JW's are very welcoming to outsiders. If you go, please don't go w/an obvious agenda to convert people, but let the Holy Spirit move. Be a student willing to learn the patterns of their faulty system prior to countering them. 

For good doctrine, more field workers & the nations.......
