12/13/07 Hi, thanks for speaking on Wmuz today, it was good to hear someoneelse out there sharing the faith.
  WMUZ is awesome!  Thanks for listening and thanks for the encouragement!
   
12/7/07 You really know nothing about the church of jesus christ of later-day-saints.So intill you have proper info do not place this smut.you all are hipacrits you clearly know nothing about god or jesus.the bible says thou shalt not judge yet here you are doing gods work.you are no christian.
   SmileyCentral.com  I'm sorry, sometimes it just wouldn't be fair to comment...SmileyCentral.com

Although we will say, we are to judge teachings to determine whether or not they are true.  Jesus did that, the disciples did that and both instructed us to do it.  That's what we do.

   
   
10/19/07 It's not about being terrified that a site to defend Jehovah's witnesses believe hasn't been created, it's because their believe is defended by the bible and what it really teaches. Really?  Where does the Bible teach:
  • That Jesus is really Michael the archangel.
  • That Jesus would return invisibly.
  • That there is more than one God.
  • That the Holy Spirit is merely a "force".
  • That salvation comes through 4 steps including service to God's true organization
  • That celebrating birthday's is wrong.
  • That blood transfusions are wrong.

This is the true foundation for one's believe, and it's a shame that for you all to be so religious and christlike you would feel the need to put down what Christ himself said to keep doing, and that is to preach the good news of GOD'S KINGDOM to our brother's and sister's worldwide, which witnesses do. We don't put JW's down at all - we just don't believe what the Watchtower Organization teaches.  We certainly don't begrudge anyone for going door-to-door.   Mormons and witnesses should not be placed on the same level because for each believes in something totally different from one another, Witnesses believes solely in the bible and all of their material is bible based, and Mormons have their own bible not neccesarily related to bibles truths, so as you can see they aren't the same.  Who said they were the same??  They are just two groups led by people who have distorted the Word of God who are going door-to-door.  The ministry is "Defending Your Doorstep" to train Christians how do defend their faith against these groups and share with them the TRUE gospel of Jesus Christ.  Jesus said that Jehovah is greater than he was in all of our bibles and that we must love Jehovah God with all our hearts, strength and spirit and to love one another as ourselves and these two things holds up all of God's Laws. What do you mean by "these two things hold up under God's laws? You choose not to believe it because the truth isn't found in you.  Oh, so now your JUDGING us without actually looking at our material.  That seems fair.  SmileyCentral.com  Nor was the trinity found anywhere in the bible except for one scripture that seems to imply this, but the word trinity itself can't even be found in the entire bible not even in the index, this is according to the King James versions of the bible, maybe you all should do some better research or actually have a real Witness conduct a bible study with you to get accurate knowledge of God's word, and not those opinions of faithless x-witnesses.  Wow - that was one heck of a sentence.  Ok, first - just because the word "Trinity" is not in the Bible does not mean it doesn't exist.  "Theocracy" is not in the Bible either, but you live in one.  Just because centimeters might not be on a ruler does not mean centimeters don't exist.  Secondly, the evidence for the Trinity - three persons constituting the one God (three "who's" making up the one "what") is all over the Bible (even the KJV).  Now I can't post the three chapters we devote to this in the Battling the Watchtower book here on the site, but here is a chart of verses that should help you get a better understanding of that concept:

Ephesians 4: 4-6  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;   One Lord, one faith, one baptism,   One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (emphasis mine)

By definition

One last thing witnesses don't sell their materials like you are trying to do, (that's not true - each JW has to make a "donation" for their materials - you know that) if you believe in what you are teaching maybe you should make your materials free so that your arguments can really mean something, (click this ) thank God we have the chose that he gave us personal to choose what we feel is true in our own hearts, Praise Jehovah God most high over all the earth in the name of his son who he sent Jesus christ, amen.   Thank you, by the way I am not trying to bring reproach on the Witnesses, I have only been studying with them, and now since I have seen your site, I see that what they teach is true and they are God's true people, thank you very much.  (C'mon - you know that's not true either).
 

   
10/5/07 i have read this article (on worshipping Jesus) with so much interest . the thing is some of the lines are one on top of each other so that it is hard to read thru it..please check the above so lines may be read clearly..i will visit this again sometime...to have a more depth of understanding. I am currently in search of reinforcing my faith.  This article is so much help.. thank you so much..
    We're glad you found the article useful.  Sorry about the formatting problems we're working to fix the problem right now
   
9/20/07 Do you guys wonder why you get so much hate mail? No. Looks to me like you get more of that than anything else. Hmm.. wonder why (Check out Matthew 10:22 - that will help you get your answer). Also, I take joy in the fact that for every sad soul YOU guys confuse (yes it IS YOU who's doing the confusing-HOW CAN YOU MAKE THAT STATEMENT WHEN YOU HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED AT OUR MATERIAL?) Jehovas and Mormons convert like 200 others Where in the world did you get THAT statistic? . Still growing! So is true Christianity!  My most important note is.. truth defends itself! What does THAT mean?  That we should not provide information on the truth?  That it will just appear?
      If you're SO adament about everyone else being wrong where's YOUR proof?
  And don't say the Bible, and don't tell me your right because THEY'RE wrong because that kind of reasoning is as weak as anyones! We didn't SAY THAT - WHY DON'T YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT ONE OF OUR PROGRAMS BEFORE YOU POP OFF ABOUT IT?  NOBODY has ever "proved" "the truth" in terms of religion! Wrong!  Jesus did by rising from the dead!  If we HAD solid, concrete, undeniable evidence we'd all join! Obviously not - you've already "proved" that you just want to cling to your own ideals - tearing us up without actually reading or listening to our material is proof of that.  Furthermore, in all of my readings of material against Mormons. I have YET to find ANY solid, concrete, undeniable evidence against them! So my friend, what makes YOU any different? The first thing that makes us different is that you haven't actually LOOKED at ours... Most, if not all, are either falsifications, bent truths, or unsupported reasoning of simple men without backbone. Try and prove a religion wrong using the Bible, that doesn't even fully rely on it! We prove Mormonism wrong based on their own documents and Scriptures - you'd know that if you actually LOOKED AT OUR MATERIAL...but that would actually take thought...
    You say they have nothing?
Where did we say that?  Is this another straw man argument you're just making up...?  Double-check YOUR stuff! Given, yours may be beleived by some but is that concrete evidence of "100% truth?" YES!  You'd know that if you looked at it!  THAT'S what's so amazing about the Mormon religion! They DON'T make claims to proof! They say, "here's what we have.. if you FEEL it you'll know." That's the point!!!!!!  Since when are we told that our "hunches" identify "truth".  Boy, magicians must LOVE YOU - you must believe they really make people fly, disappear and pull rabbits out of hats !!!!!  And noone can disprove that! What are you going to say? Uhh sir, no you didn't feel that; it was the devil.
    In conclusion, the point you may have missed is.. your arguments, sides, theories, and so-called data.. sound just as malleable to me as Mormon teachings do to you.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?  YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED AT OUR MATERIAL!!!!!  You have nothing but your OWN internal reasoning to defend what I've just written, as do I to you'rs. (SEE PREVIOUS RESPONSE) And I'm sure you may publish some of this in a book (no, it's not cohesive enough for a book) or on your site (YES!  That we'll do - everyone should this). Granted, you do have the upper hand here because it is you who will have the final say as you will portray only a portion of my writings (taken out of context and without the whole picture) and afterwards, add your own remarks to which I cannot defend. Well, Courage the Cowardly Lion, we wrote you twice, but you won't write us back, so what do you expect us to do?  But don't think we'd actually edit your comments - they are priceless, and as you can see, all here.  I also believe I am helping you here by feeding you some good constructive criticism that you might use to become more critical in your approach to what you call "saving the world from the untrue." Where did we say that?  Therefore you may appreciate my comments.

P.S. Conversational writing (as I and all others are using) does not hold to the same grammatical rules that may be applied to a college essay.
Granted, but that does not dismiss the use of proper grammar nor English.  By attacking our grammar skills ALSO proves nothing. We made ONE grammar remark on this page when we could have made MANY - so we wouldn't qualify that as "attacking...grammar skills".  Your reasoning DOES, however, show us a bit about your prejudice, doesn't it?  I mean, that statement combined with repeated rants against material you haven't even looked at...  Would you say you'r (irony) spouse is illiterate if he or she sent you a text saying, "I luv u?" When in fact that same person may dazzle thousands with his/her writing! (no more irony) Compare emails to emails and professional writing to professional writing ok?  An intentional misspelling for effect between two intimate parties is hardly comparable to writing someone you have never met.  I'll tell you what, write up a resume and when you send it to a potential employer via email - use your own personal email "grammar rules" and see if you get the job.

P.s.s. You are as the blind leading only the blind. Both will fall.

    It's so wonderful to be lectured on fairness and called a liar by someone who hasn't even looked at our material...
   
8/14/07 Why do you think that the JW's are wrong when in fact they live there lives in full harmony with the teachings of Jehovah. Well, first of all, the measurement of TRUTH is not whether or not someone BELIEVES they are living in full harmony with the teachings of God - that is circular reasoning.  Jews, Muslims, Christians and Mormons ALL believe they are living in "full harmony with the teachings of Jehovah..". They are the only ones truly going out door to door preaching the word of God. No, they are not- Mormons and Baptists are going door-to-door as well.  They are the only ones that make the it a point to follow up on those that weren't at home. No, they are not- Mormons and Baptists are doing that - WAIT A MINUTE!  THIS IS THE REASON YOU BELIEVE THE ORGANIZATION IS GOD'S TRUE ORGANIZATION - BECAUSE THEY ARE "FOLLOWING-UP AT HOUSES WHEN THE PEOPLE WEREN'T AT HOME?????  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????  Doesn't the bible teach you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Yes!  What's your point?  We are in the time of the harvest. We are surely in the last days of this truly wicked system. I really beleive the the JW's have the truth and they are the true defenders of THE TRUTH. BASED ON WHAT!?  Based on the TRUTH they have had to repeatedly change to contradict old "truth" over the last 120+ years?  Who is to say that tomorrow there won't be a new "truth"?  I thought JEHOVAH ran this organization!  Can't He get the "truth" right the FIRST TIME?  May you find it in your heart to really listen to what they have to say because it means life or death for you and your loved ones. I will leave you with my favorite scripture found in Proverb 3:5,6. Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understandings. In all your ways take notice of him and he himself will make your path stright.  Aloha, (Leialoha)
    Aloha to you, Leiahloha! 
Thank you so much for writing our ministry.
 
Your question as to why we don't believe JW's are correct is very, very simple - the Watchtower claimed to be the Faithful & Discreet Slave appointed such by Jesus after his evaluation in 1914 - 1918.  The ONLY qualification for being the FDS was to be "giving true spiritual food at the proper time" (Matt 24:45-47).  During this time however, they were teaching Jesus was NOT Michael, that Jesus DID NOT return in 1914 and were making false prophecies.
 
Clearly they lied.  One who lies about speaking for God is a false prophet (Deut. 18:20-22)
 
As far as going door-to-door, Mormons and Baptists do that as well - does that mean THEIR organizations are true?
 
Let me leave you with a scripture - I John 4:1.
 
I would be happy to give you a program of ours for FREE if you would be willing to follow I John 4:1?

8/3/07 I do not have a question, but a comment.  I studied with JW's for almost 20 years .  Although I never was baptized, (I was a former Catholic) I did see the closeness and love the JW's have for each other and others Really?  How does this relate to what you say later in this email?.  I was so impressed on how they build their Kingdom Halls .  As I studied, although many "truths" something never was 100% true.  Something was missing.  I told my dear friend that I needed to take a break from the studies and for 3 years did nothing.  then I started going to a christian church,  I knew this is what I was looking for in the bible .  Although, you are trying to HELP remember, JWs are not the enemy.  Many are very good, honest and loving people ABSOLUTELY - IN FACT, I'D SAY "MOST".  They truly believe what they are taught, and like the catholic church want you only to read THEIR materials.  I think that is the key.  With God's Holy Spirit I have been able to desern truth from false teachings.  Trust me, I miss my friends ( now I am shunned, because I don't believe as they do) SEE, THIS IS THE QUESTION - WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THAT "LOVE" THEY HAD FOR OTHERS?  They love only those who believe like they do.  That's not what Jesus did. I miss the closeness, friendships, ect.  But now with the grace of God I have made new friends.  My point is please be loving in teaching of these people.  The way JW's are taught today does not focus on their history, so many new converts do not know about what their early leaders did, just like the catholics, JW and catholics hear about new revelations, that is why they can change their laws and doctrines.  thank you for your website.
blessings and thanks {Rose}

 
    Well, Rose, we're certainly glad you've found a home in a Christian Church.  A special note - what we know about new revelation is that it can never contradict old revelation - God cannot contradict Himself.  That is what has helped us realize that the Watchtower cannot be what it claims to be.  Thanks for writing.
   
8/1/07 Since a small child growing up in Pennsylvania, my mother has belonged to the Church of Jesus Christ, (no Latter Day Saints).  She has ALWAYS read the book of Mormon and claims that it is the second book to the Bible, that her church is the only church to belong to and that they talk about tribes and scrolls .  I am trying to learn more about Christanity and don't agree with my mother's church.  My question is my mother claims she is DEFINATELY not a Mormon, but follows the book of Mormon - this is very confusing to me.  Is there any literature I can read about this Joseph Smith (who I think is a false prophet).  I listen to you on WMUZ on Wednesday and liked what you had to say about the Morom religion.  Just wondering where I can get the same information you had about this man. {Confused}
    This is a very interesting problem.  After Joseph Smith was murdered, the church split up.  Since Joseph had not laid out a lineage of successors to lead the church, some people followed Brigham Young and some followed, Joseph's son, Joseph Smith III.  Those that followed Brigham ended up in Salt Lake City (LDS Church) and several splinter groups emerged from following Joseph Smith III.  It sounds like your mother has landed in one of the many offshoots of Joseph Smith III.

As far as literature about Joseph Smith, Jr. and his false prophecies, check out this part of our website: http://defendingyourdoorstep.com/Josephs%20False%20Prophecies.htm .

   
5/28/07 Why do you talk s about Jehovah's Witness if you are nothing better than them ("than THEY") ? It just makes you look bad talking like you do about them on the website.... (Liz)
    Ok, so let us get this straight, you send us a profanity-laced email...we are trying to reach JW's with the gospel of Jesus Christ...and WE are the one's who "look bad".
   
5/14/07 I am so blessed to have found this site this is an answer to prayer God is so awesome (AMEN!) and this goes to show us that our Lord wants to reach these friends and family members (AMEN and AMEN!). I do not mind paying for the material because you just saved me lots of writing , and you have done all the homework for me that i can never repay may God all mighty bless you exceedingly and abundantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
    Solving the Mormon Puzzle is on the way, Lilliana!  Now get out there and GIVE 'EM HEAVEN!

A PERSON'S DOORSTEP DOES NOT HAVE TO BE DEFENDED FROM JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES,GOD HAS GIVEN EVERY HUMAN BEING UPON THIS EARTH TO CHOOSE,WHOM THEY WILL SERVE. SO IF A PERSON DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, THEY HAVE THAT RIGHT. BUT YOU MUST HAVE ACCURATE TRUTH,AS SATAN TRIED TO TEMPT JESUS WITH HALF TRUTH.   Want a great example of "half truth"?  Click here and see how the Watchtower defends their 100+ year record of false prophesying.  THAT IS WHY HE IS CALLED THE FATHER OF THE LIE.BUT THERE IS TRUTH IN THIS WORLD,AS JESUS SAID TO PONTIUS PILATE, GOD'S WORD IS TRUTH,AND JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES TAKE EVERY WORD AS GOD'S WORD.  Really?  Every word?  Then why do JW's teach there is more than one God when God's word says there is only one?  Why is it that JW's teach the Holy Spirit is impersonal, when the Bible teaches the Holy Spirit has a personality.  Why do JW's teach that Jesus' body was not raised from the dead when Jesus predicted He WOULD RAISE HIS BODY (John 2:19-21)?  I've got more if you'd like...   JESUS SAID TRUE CHIRSTIANS WOULD FIRST LOVE JEHOVA GOD WITH THEIR WHOLE SOUL, AND THEIR NEIGHBOR[OTHERS} AS THEMSELVES,THIS WE DO, (So do Christians!) BY FOLLOWING JESUS'COMMAND AND EXAMPLE TO MAKE DISCIPLES{TEACH PEOPLE} ABOUT GOD'S KINGDOM AND TO SHOW THEM LOVE (So do Christians!) .GOD DOES'NT FORCE ANYONE TO SERVE HIM, AND NEITHER DO WE,WE SHARE WITH PEOPLE WHAT IS FOUND IN GOD'S WORD (No, you share SOME of God's word - the parts that don't conflict with your doctrine!) . NO! WEARE AT THEIR DOORS OUT OF LOVE FOR JEHOVH AND HIS SON JESUS CHIRST. 
   
5/7/07 Hi Gang! :-)

THANK YOU! For standing up for Christ I am so tired of JW & LDS Lies! I look forward to buying your products for myself and my SDA (Seventh Day Adventist) bud Rusty
!

Cheers! {William}
    Thanks for visiting, William.  We appreciate the kind words - let us know if we can be of further assistance.
   
4/18/07 Hi,
I have finally been able to connect to your website.
(Yeah, sorry about that - when we overhauled the website we ran into a few technical difficulties) My prayers are with you each and every day. May God bless each segment of your work and if any is displeasing, bring that part to naught. (Amen and amen!) Your ministry has sure enlightened me...both written works and speaking. I will continue to support your in every way. {A great fan}
    Wow!  Thanks AGF!  Your prayers are wonderfully appreciated - primarily because of your approach.  I would hope everyone - agree with us or not - would pray for us in the same way.  That way we can all be sure God is glorified.  Thank you so much for writing.
   
2/27/07 This is a sad twisted site. Personally I have no specific religious affiliation and people like you make me very proud of that fact. There is no doubt in my mind that visiting your site has resulted in an irrecoverable loss of my own intelligence. Luckily for me, unlike the ignorant creationists that I assume run this site, I have knowledge to spare No, no, wait, here's where it starts to get funny...  The facts of evolution, geology, and reason that are stored in my brain are very different than the empty religious propaganda floating between your ears. I must apologize to the reader if this site is ran by a nice old lady, but otherwise I must say you should be ashamed of yourself to exploit the enmity of other religions for profit.
Peace
Sky
   
Sorry, Sky but frankly everyone here is a few years past pseudo-intellectual attacks against Christianity. It's not our bailiwick to correct your flawed, faith-based evolutionary model, flawed fossil records, circular carbon dating methods and the like. To be honest, I didn't think anyone still argued against Christianity using EVOLUTION - you're about 20 years behind the curve.   If your truly that interested then I'd encourage you to other websites (www.CARM.org).
 
A little piece of advice: before you start to get in theological debates, try to stay logically consistent.  For example - you chastise us for something we're not doing : "exploit(ing) the enmity of other religions for profit".  We never deal with any enmity either group has toward Christianity - we focus on their flawed belief systems.  Your contention is a Straw Man argument .  Secondly, why attack us for (what you perceive to be) us attacking other religions when you do the EXACT same thing by attacking our beliefs?
 
Good luck with CARM. 
   
2/15/07 It has been so nice going through what you have on your URL. Its indeed a blessing. some people are jumping out of the Mormon bus here in Uganda (click here) and it is wonderful to leave that camp. please send us more study about it and how we can help even more of our friends to jump out of all. Pray for Uganda. for there is a new stronghold of Mormons {Nsubuga}
    WOW!  UGANDA!  Uganda Solving the Mormon Puzzle is on the way!
   
   
   
1/23/07 Thanks for your site! Whenever I encounter the mormon missionaries, they ask if I know which house "Julie" lives in, for example. I tell them I'm on to them, that it's wrong to use deception to strike up conversation and that I'm sorry they have been brainwashed . I'll keep reading your site for more tips. Thanks again! {Katrina}
    Thank you so much for visiting and even more for writing!  Let us know how we can be of further service.  Give 'em Heaven!
   
   
   
1/14/07 how dare you mock God, how do you know your religion is true, you critizize religions, you will burn in hell , you sons of Satan! F   all of you for having this web site and mocking GOD!  DO NOT CONTACT ME YOU DESPITE ME!!!!! {Janet}
  What a lovely and classy way to start out the New Year.
