Can I take this oportunity to explain the subject of this message.
Why am I happy to be a Jehovah's Witness. All I say I truly believe in my heart, and not as result of being brain-washed or in-doctrinated, in case that may be what some choose to think. Thank you.
1st The word Christian appears to mean: A footstep follower of Jesus Christ. I am a genuine, true, practising Christian. As this is the case, it follows that I wish, or choose to follow the steps of my saviour Jesus, which I am proud and happy to, I love him very very dearly. It is my contention and belief, that if Jesus were walking on earth today, the only faith/religion that he could possibly belong to, is Jehovah's Witnesses.
Why do I believe that. Simply a process of elimination. Jehovah has had on the earth, for 1000,s of years, an instrument, or spokesman, be that Prophets, Prophetesses, Judges, Kings, Bible writers, Jesus Christ, the Apostles, etc,etc, etc,. It stands to reason, at least for me, that the same would be true today, in the period identified in the Bible as "The Last Days". Jehovah has always had the highest and Holiest of Principles and Standards. These cover every aspect and decision we face in life. Do you agree.? Therefore, which person out there can possibly claim that the worlds religions, "whichever", outside of Jehovah's Witnesses, even claim to follow such. Do not all of them these days, allow, condone, and support: Homosexuality, Lesbianism, (same things I agree), Abortion, Killing in Nationalistic wars, Fornication, Adultery, Gambling, Smoking, Stealing, Lying, Spiritism, etc, etc,.
All of the above are totally and irrevocably condemned in the Holy Bible. All fly in the face of Holiness, according to Jehovah's principles. Do we have the right to tell God, our Creator, what will be good, right, acceptable. I think not. If we wish to worship the true God, we should adhere to his Standards of Holiness.
Using that as a measuring stick, you can see, with an open, unbiased, reasonable mind, that the only religion on earth, that Jesus Christ would be able to walk with, and know that he had his God's favour, is Jehovah's Christian Witnesses.
There are also many doctrinal issues, but they can be twisted and turned by all and sundry. I have no time for "timewasters" who twist scripture. I have invariably found that they are out for personal glory, not Jehovah's. Leave doctrine aside. On the moral issues above, Jesus would, indeed could, only be a Jehovah's Witness, if he walked on earth today. Hence I am happy and proud to be known as one. I will continue to struggle to live up to the name I carry. With Jehovah's help and blessing, and the guidance of his Son, Jesus Christ, I pray I will succeed.
thanks for listening.
