I would never have guessed. Michael Jackson came from a family of Jehovah's Witnesses. I get the feeling that his upbringing damaged him.

His mother was a jehovahs witness, but his abuse father wanted him to grow up differently. He grew up and there was a quote by him that said he didn't love his life. It's so sad, I feel bad for him.

The world's view of living life damaged me, ; e.g , fame and glory but returning to Jehovah and his people restored my life ; mental health , and now I have a balanced view on life .

Ok, so how about the 99.9% of JW's who aren't crazy like Michael Jackson was? I think his disconnection from reality was mostly due to the fact that he was exposed to mega-stardom from a very young age, and then through his entire life. That is not a normal or healthy life style.

Yes his upbringing did damage him. But not from his religious mother. Rather from his non-witness father Joe.

No religion dmages people, specially JWs. People have the freedom to choose their beliefs, MJ went away from the truth and that killed him. If he was a JW he would still be alive...and many ex' JWs have tragic ends due to following wordly practices such as immoral lifestyles, drugs, love of money, etc..all these excesive practices misused will kill anybody..not the religion. I hope to make your Point of view clear as water.

Correction: his mother was (is?) a Witness, HIS FATHER, on the other hand, was not, called an non-believer. But was a bully, a demanding taskmaster who used corporal punishment abusive and demeaning to the nth degree - according to many stories and articles from the siblings.

Statistics don't prove your religion is true. Islam is the FASTEST growing religion on earth. Catholicism is the RICHEST religion on earth. JW's hierarchy has for over 100 years predicted that the great tribulation was going to have a "greater fulfilment." This is the same one which Jesus said would NEVER be repeated. (Matthew 24:21) Who's lying - Jesus or the JW's governing body?
08/12/2019

Stewart Alexander
The TEACHINGS of the religion are damaging! Monumental example: JW's and their kids are constantly instructed to expect the "great tribulation" of Matthew 24:21 imminently. How can something which Jesus explicitly stated would NEVER be repeated, have a "greater fulfillment"? Which part of "NO, NOR WILL OCCUR AGAIN" is hard for the governing body & JW's to understand? If JW's want to cross-reference and make sense of the "great tribulation" spoken about at Revelation 7:14, they'll get the context of the angel's words by looking at what he said to John earlier at Revelation 2:22. He was NOT referring to the UNREPEATABLE GT of Matthew 24.

I grew up in a Baptist church and learned nothing from the minister who was not upholding Bibles standards. I didn’t learn that Jehovah God ‘hates a divorcing’ and the only grounds for a divorce is adultery, until I became one of Jehovah’s Witnesses 30 years ago. For those who do not understand about the ‘great tribulation,’ here’s an easy definition. In 1914, at the end of the Gentile times, JESUS was enthroned as King and is sitting at his fathers right hand. Jesus will lead the 144,000 spoken of in Revelation 7:4 to rule over the earth. There will never be any other religion ever again to divide people. So the great tribulation will be earth wide, not just a localized area like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, or ancient Jerusalem. So now today with our literature published in over 1,000 languages and 100 sign languages has been accomplished with the help of Jehovah. Jehovah is our Heavenly Father and he is the one who has said throughout history, “you will have to know that I am Jehovah.” Our literature now being printed in this massive amount of languages is fulfilling Matthew 24:14, ......good news of the Kingdom will be preached in ALL THE Inhabited EARTH FOR A WITNESS TO ALL THE NATIONS, and then the END will come. So what a perfect way to spread this good news of Jehovah’s coming Kingdom by publishing his literature in over 1,000 languages and 100 sign languages.

Michael Jackson’s father was not one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. It was his father that directed the children towards fame and fortune. Michsel Jackson turned away from the faith, and toward worldly thinking and behavior. Because he did not want to repent of his wrong behavior, he was no longer a Witness in good standing. He was disfellowshipped from the congregation. Remember that even perfect angels turned away from their creator and made themselves demons by disobedience to their Creator.

His fame damaged him. Money and power messes with you head. Would you say that every celebrity that has committed suicide was damaged by their upbringing? Obviously not, there are more ways and environments that damage a person or that have a bigger impact than the way he was raised. For example, depression, suicidal behavior, etc. (which can be genetic).
30/12/2019

Hannah J Paul
Michael Jackson was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, that is true. He lived his life as a Witness too, until he publicly disassociated himself in the 1980's. Interestingly, it was only after he left the Witnesses that he began to exhibit odd behavior.
02/01/2020

Alex
Hello, yes you are completely right, since his father wanted to move him so far as possible to a religious upbringing, the results speak for themselves. These type of comments really give me more energy to tell others about how an amazing God Jehovah is and how easy one can be mislead. If he would have been brought up in a different religious environment, even though would have never practiced it, it would probably have never been associated to his lifestyle. With much respect, Alex.

being one of Jehovah's Witnesses means coming to know God whose name is Jehovah Psalm 83:18, his standards and requirements as stated and his word the Bible and applying them in our lives. When we listen to God and his son Jesus Christ it helps us us to have a Better life. Michael Jackson was not one of Jehovah's Witnesses, it seems that's his mother was or is. I do not think that his father was.

Michael's father, who was NOT a Witness, contributed greatly to Michael's bent of mind. Rather than speculating wildly, or relying on sensationalistic gossip columns, and slandering an entire group of people, why not read what the rest of Michael's family (some of whom are Witnesses, and some of who are not) say on the subject.

Just wanted to reply to Stewart’s comments. You assume Jesus was taking of the forthcoming destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, and of course he was. But was this the greatest tribulation that ‘had ever occurred‘? No doubt for the Jews it was horrendous, but discounting other cities and populations destroyed prior to that time, was not the global flood of Noah’s day an even greater tribulation? Surely Jesus was speaking of a greater fulfilment, as the rest of chapter 24 is widely believed to be a sign not just of Jerusalem’s destruction but of his second coming.

Michael Jackson was a well-behaved boy in his youth. He was never an offender and he was never into drugs compared to other kids in Indiana at the time. The music business damaged him, not his upbringing. He was from a very good home and if he has kept that lifestyle, he would have done very well. Elvis Presley, Bobby Brown, Epstein, Ted Bundy and so many evil men in history did not have the same upbringing as Michael. Stop trying to demonize the JW at every giving chance. It is becoming irritating reading comments like yours. Michael was a good man and has issues with his father who drove him into the business that made him. There are many Michaels inthe street and you pretend that you are blind. If Joseph hadn't done what he did, we wouldn't have had Michael. Please stop! You are one of the evil ones in this world

Reply to Steward Alexander. If you read the information in the 24th chapter of Matthew you will see that Jesus is responding to his disciples question ; what will be the sign of his presence and of the conclusion of this system of things. Jesus is referring to a future chain of events that would preclude God's war of armeggedon which will be the end of this worldly "system" of things. The results will be as foretold in Psalms 37:10,11 and 29.
03/06/2020

This is true. Some of Michael’s fondest memories were growing up as a witness but unfortunately his father was not a very good example and was obsessed with the children becoming stars. He pushed the family very hard from a very young age. Michael was never allowed to be a child and I believe that this was the reason he lived a childlike adulthood.

To blame Michael Jackson's sometimes disturbing behavior on his religious upbringing, is like blaming God for Satan's choice to become wicked. Satan had been a loyal angel until he began turning away from his Heavenly Father, Jehovah. Some devoted parents do a wonderful, loving job of raising their children, and their kids choose a harmful course of living.

The context of the article is not about Micheal Jackson, however, as his mother was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses she raised him in the truth. As he got older he made his own way in “the world “, hence his life changed because as an imperfect human, as we all are, he chose a life without God. Many people choose to leave, but Jehovah, knows them and being the greater Good Shepherd he is pained when one is lost. Satan is the ruler of this system or this world, but his time is limited. I encourage you to visit the website and to know Jehovah God loves you and as you get to know him, you will be drawn to seek more and more knowledge of him and his directions. Enjoy your search for Jehovah God.

His mother raised them in the truth as one of Jehovahs Witnesses. As he matured he decided to live a life independent of God, therefore, yes his life changed. Satan is the ruler of the this system of things. Jehovah has an appointed time for him to be destroyed. I encourage you to visit the JW.org official website and type in a question in the search bar. This will bring your attention to relevant publications that can help give you answers. Jehovah God can read the hearts of his creations.

His upbringing certainly wasn't easy. His father, who was not a Jehovah's Witness, was obsessed with money and fame and fortune for his children. This came before all else, including the religion of his wife. Being exposed to the pressures of fame and fortune at such a young age, and all the evils of the music industry as he got older, certainly contributed to his disposition, not so much his religious orientation.

I believe it is unfair to pass judgements on MJ's upbringing or choices, because non of us really know anything except what the media presents. God is judge. The matter that is being recognized on this site is the incredible work of JWs to translate. Their website dwarfs what is done by wealthy corporations because the decision to translate, is not driven by profits, but by the most noble cause ... to preach the word of the gospel in all the world, a mandate of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus.

If the Bible is God's inspired word and intended to provide mankind with knowledge that leads to everlasting life (John 17:3), it would seem that Jehovah's Witnesses are the only Christian faith being used by God to spread his word worldwide (Matthew 24:14).

Let’s not get distracted. This article is about the “unprecedented”, “mind-boggling” (article’s words, not mine) translation accomplishments of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The Bible foretold that “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14) Revelation 14:6 reads “And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven and he had everlasting good news to declare to those who dwell on the earth, to every tribe nation and tribe and tongue (language) and people. Shouldn’t people seeing this be asking: Is what the world is seeing happening here with Jehovah’s Witnesses a fulfillment of those and countless other verses? Could it be that when one of Jehovah’s Witnesses approaches me with this “good news” that, in effect, it is God and his Christ reaching out to me personally? And if that is the case, will you listen?

I agree with you Stewart. Matthew 24 only allows for one non-repeatable great tribulation...after which the Jews that survived the tribulation would be scattered over many nations according to Luke 21. This will not happen a second time.

I had a father that did not believe, a victim of Vietnam. I had a worse childhood than most but I received love from the witnesses that helped me through. The problems began when I got older. The childhood I experienced made me not so right in the head. I really believe I would have been alright if I did not look like a bad person. 100 out of 100 movie directors would have cast me as a bad guy 5 seconds after they seen my picture. If you look like a good person the Witnesses will treat you good. It is just another popularity contest.
04/02/2020

Foreverwish
Sorry you feel that way Mike but personally I have never met any JW that babtized and treats anyone differently according to their looks. If you meet any such, know that they are not truly Jehovah's Witnesses because they do not know Jehovah, nor do they have him in their hearts. It is for that reason that they cannot witness for that which they do not understand.

Even more impressive is that most of the translating work is done at Remote Translation Offices (RTO). These are located in the area that the language is spoken to ensure that translations use the most commonly used words and expressions. RTO's are staffed by volunteers, some full time who receive food and lodging on site and others part-time who often have other paid work, that enables them to volunteer. The 1020 (06/05/2020) languages are aimed at those who desire to know about Jehovah regardless of how many people speak the language. For example the Palikur language of indigenous tribes in Brazil and French Guiana is one of those languages translated, this despite the fact that there are only around 1500 native speakers. Matthew 24:14 says "And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching in 240 lands and islands, pretty much the inhabited earth. Their efforts continue to reach everyone who wants to know in the language of their heart. The end is very near. If you want to know more about this take a look at jw.org

I have worked as a medical and pharmaceutical freelance translator for 18 years ... and I happen to be a Jehovah's Wittness (lol, I promise not to preach here). In Denmark, when you are fifteen, you are invited to work somewhere for 2 weeks to get a little feel for what you would like to do in the future. I worked for 2 weeks at Jehovah's Witnesses branch office in Denmark and got my first taste of translation work. I remember that day clearly. Started working at 8 AM and when I was told "Hey, it's lunch time!" I couldn't believe my own ears. Time just flew. I don't translate for Jehovah's Witnesses, but I am still very impressed with the scope, quality, and consistency of their work. And I still love translating!

Matthew 24:!4 Though some peoples lack interest, we will keep on preaching the good news of God's Kingdom, to keep on searching for people from all the nation who are fed up from the wickedness happening in this world. If you would read our Matthew 24:!4 our purpose is not proselytizing but to give WITNESS to all the nation, before the end of this wicked system comes.

Nice article! Though I would like point out that for decades many of Jehovah's Witnesses did not have access to WT publications or at least on a regular basis. Yet, those ones were united with the organization and their fellow believers. It is not a "necessity" to have access to the publications. Because our main text book is the Bible. The publishing in so many languages is really two fold in purpose: To help us all to be united in the faith and to fulfill Christ's commission stated at Matt 28:19, 20 and Matt 24:14. We worship a God who is not partial to any nation, but accepts all who want to serve Him. So our publishing in so many languages reflects this viewpoint of our God. Thank you again for your article!

I think it's amazing! In addition to the reasons already given for translation into so many languages, it's also because of Christlike love. We want people to read and understand the Bible in their native tongue, the "language of the heart".

Sounds like the same kind of outrageous propaganda the Scientologists use to fool all their gullible adherents! Any Jehovah’s Witness who actually knows how to fact check, quickly becomes aware they have been lied to over and over again! CULT information control at its finest!

Not sure what Naboth is taking issue with in Alexis' comments. The Watchtower & Awake magazines ARE the most widely distributed magazines and JW.org IS, by far, the most translated website (as attested to above/now 994 languages). With regard to Bible translation, the book Truth in Translation by JD BeDuhn (Bible language scholar, not one of Jehovah's Witnesses) says on page 163, "While it is difficult to quantify this sort of analysis, it can be said that the NW [New World Translation] emerges as the most accurate of the translations compared." Analysis is based on the choices the translators made with regard to passages that are doctrinally significant. This comparison includes The King James, New Revised Standard, New International Version, Amplified Bible, New American Standard Bible, New American Standard Bible, Today's English Version, and The Living Bible. Other reviews I have read have been similarly complimentary toward the New World Translation. Apparently Naboth is just parroting popular misconceptions about Jehovah's Witnesses without doing any fact checking himself. Our brotherhood is not made up of perfect people. But we own up to our mistakes and we are unique in the world in recognizing that ALL Christians have the responsibility and privilege to proclaim the Kingdom message that Jesus made the theme of his ministry. (Luke 4:43; Matthew 24:14;28:18-20) It should also be noted that the very idea that, despite our efforts to be the best people we can be, we would suffer some abusive speech is no great surprise. The first-century Christians were likewise commonly maligned. (Acts 28:22) One last thought: if recognizing Jesus as our leader and endeavoring to live according to his words and example makes us a "CULT," so be it. (Matthew 23:10)

All one has to do is Google "Spurious scriptures in the King James Bible" and it will come up with a list of about 120 Spurious or incorrectly translated scriptures in the King James Bible. The New World Translation is indeed the most accurately translated Bible in the world. It is a "Translation", and not a "Version" of the bible.

that is not true, the NWT has even removed whole words and even added work like "all sorts", "all other things", use some terminology when it comes to Jesus, manipulated and changed some of Jesus words.. if they say they know Jehovah God,they will know where Jesus really is.. Revelation 22 some where there warns us of removing , substituting and adding words in the Bible to divert from original context, very dangerous... it is see as dangerous and twisted bible... check it out in the Kingdom Interlinear KJV Translation.So many scriptures changed or reworded or removed with some explanation that its scary.
28/01/2020

Tony
@Quinny. What you say has some validity. Entire words and phrases have been removed in the NWT and it is a scary thing. REALLY! I am not benefited by lies. That is Satan's tool of choice. My personal investigation has revealed, in all honesty, that words and phrases have been added to the original text. My mind is boggled by the arrogance! What you may not realize is that many if not all of the amendments in The NWT were the results from lower critics. Lower critics that are independent of the Watchtower Society. These are people who use the most advanced scientific techniques & equipment to understand the raw data for the sake of scientific accuracy regardless of religion. My research shows me that The NWT has RESTORED, in all honesty, that which has been modified. Raw truth and unbiased science work hand in hand. This is what I find in The NWT of The Bible. Some, though, prefer their tradition & superstition. Not surprised. Their choice. Gullibility is not promoted in The Bible. 1 John 4:1 advises, "Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired statement, but test the inspired statements to see whether they originate with God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." I believe this to be sound.

Linéa
Quinny and Naboth - there is good reason for omitted passages and different words in the NWT. Our translators used the oldest documents that weren't even discovered when many others translated the Bible. Further, other modern translations ignored the archeological finds. Where there are "blanks", is because other translations had put in spurious words with no basis in the Truth. Thus, our translators replaced them with a line, often with an asterisk where you can find the explanation. They've gone to great lengths to ensure that the NWT contains the Truth! For those who regard the JWs as a cult: A cult is easy to get into and very hard to get out of. On the other it is hard to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses, since one must (on their own) develop a love for Jehovah and His Son, Jesus Christ. Conversely, a person can leave our organization on their own. (Easy to get out of.)

Quinny, perhaps you should research better the history behind KJV. I’m sure you know it is not the first translation, but do you realize it contains many passages altered from the original texts. Most of those were altered for clarity of meaning. If we can’t do that then nobody can translate, and none of us would understand any of it. Do you think our creator intended that? Of course not. He wants us to understand his message to us. Thus, translation is important. You know that or you wouldn’t trust or use the KJV. Jehovah’s Witnesses have done nothing by translating and clarifying than King James himself did. With one glaring exception. King James did not restore the creator’s name but rather left it out more than nearly and possibly more than 7000 times. You may not have a problem with that but we most certainly do. Satan has been trying to erase all memory of that name. We are making sure he fails.

As I never wanted to be led astray by man , but always pray for Gods understanding! As a sinner , as a GOD FEARING WOMAN , I studied and studied the Bible ! Many different Bibles . I BELEIVE Jehovah is Gods name , I believe these people have been persecuted FOR HIS NAMESAKE ! I know the end of this system is near ! And I in my HEART OF HEARTS believe what JW teach to be as close to the truth as you can get ! What they teach , is what I find to be the truth as far as my understanding of the Bible ! That usually blows my friends minds ! But I know that I have spent my life , praying that Jehovah lead me to the narrow path , not into destruction! And that I be a part of his KINGDOM !

JW's efforts are to support the spreading of the Gospel (Good News) of the Kingdom, which is believed to rule over mankind in a near but indefinite future: "And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all inhabited Earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24: 14, Jesus's prophecy) They also believe that in due time God "will change the language of the peoples to a pure language so that all of them may call on the name of Jehovah to serve Him shoulder to shoulder" (Zephaniah 3: 9), that is, the great barrier of languages that shun people from one another must be reduced to nil in order to learn how to please the Lord in togetherness.

Thank you Jodie for clarifying that. As a preschooler my mom read the Bible out loud to my siblings and myself. She never read us watchtowers. My grandma taught my mom Bible truth when she was 17 through the pages of the Bible. When my children were young I had collected 57 bibles from all religions. All for of my kids grew up reading out of all of the Bible’s.... including Catholic Bibles. They read for themselves that the Bible all teach the truth, it’s the church’s that do not teach what their own Bible’s teach. In my search for a religion that adhered strictly to the Bible was Jehovah’s Witnesses. In 2 Peter 3:9 all the Bible’s say God wants everyone to repent and his desire is for no one to die.....thus the need for all Bibles to be in all languages on earth. How will people of all nations know what God requires of them if no one teaches them. Acts 8: 30,31

This is an interesting article, though I must point out that the claim that Jehovah's Witnesses "MUST" read Watchtower materials is not a fact. The articles are just bible study aids, and the Bible is the only material that any Christian "MUST" read. And while it is true that the Witnesses have a very special translation of the bible, the only real difference between it and other existing versions is that the Divine Name of Jehovah has been restored to it where possible, and some confusing passages have been translated to reflect the original meaning more clearly than is done in other available bibles, most of which were translated by religious authorities that believe in traditions originating in Catholicism that are extra-biblical.

However the main reason why thousands of volunteers, and No doubt millions of dollars in voluntary contributions are invested in this translation effort is for the benefit of non JW's.

Nice article except your conclusion about this: "all its adherents must be able to read the Watchtower's". Their publications are merely supplemental to the Bible.

In this wicked world, many loyal people to Jehovah God succumb to imperfection and sin. Thus, in the case of Mr. Michael Jackson, we have learned through interviews with his dedicated mother that the children were raised under harsh conditions, mostly at the hands of their father. At the time of his abusiveness, he was NOT following the loving example of our savior, Jesus Christ, or of our loving Father, Jehovah God.Therefore, he was acting in sin and thus created a deep seated pain in the minds and hearts of his own family, whom he was in charge of protecting and guiding, according to Jehovah's arrangement. If anyone has ever experienced abuse in the form of mental, physical, or sexual, especially at the hands of someone in charge of your well being as a defenseless child, the effects over years really takes its toll. Who of us are worthy to judge each other, especially since we are also all sinners (none of us perfect)? Families suffering such abuse usually date back generations, as perhaps Mr. Joe Jackson faced abuse in his own childhood and thus knew no other way of raising his children. Jehovah can see our true heart condition, is very much empathetic to our sufferings, and takes all of this into consideration. This does not mean Mr. Michael Jackson has been forgotten by Jehovah. Also, Jehovah is always there for ALL of us and he never leaves us, we are the ones who deny his love by not showing utmost faith and obedience to Him!!! As one of Jehovah's Witnesses who was in a very similar upbringing in the Truth, I came to the realization long ago that my parents were NOT acting in accordance to bible scriptures of loving others as yourself when they unleashed their abuse upon me and my siblings. Jehovah, however, remained with me as I found my way back to Him on my own accord as an adult and even showed his love and direction to me as a young child. Many instances, I felt his love and gently guidance, as I dealt with the effects mentally and physically. Jehovah will NOT remove persecution from us, yet he will provide a means to ENDURE if we rely upon Him entirely. Do not give up on yourself, family members, or others that show interest in Jehovah, dear brothers and sisters! Also, for those who are curious about the bible and what wonderful blessings Jehovah has in store for we humans in the future and how he will bring this wicked system to an end without lasting pain in our hearts and minds, I encourage you to contact a local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and ask for someone to answer any sincere questions you may have. There are more than 8 million faithful witnesses worldwide eager to help you learn from your copy of the bible, if you are interested.

I appreciate the fact that this underscores proof of unity and love among the true Christians. What other organization would go through so much effort to help their neighbor to draw close to their Creator and come to an accurate knowledge of his word? While many others are consistently in a disagreement and fail to provide what is needed spiritually to its citizens or members, Jehovah's organization unifies all. Jehovah God should be given all credit for this amazing feat as he is not partial to any race... We encourage all who can to examine God's Word and build your personal relationship with him .

This, the Bible, Jehovah God's heavenly Kingdom, his son, Jesus Christ, myriads upon myriads of angels in the heavens, my/our while association of spiritual minded brothers and sisters; from pediatric to geriatric, taught in weekly schools...this is my/our spiritual heritage. This brings a smile to heart, knowing we are, unitedly, working in many aspects to get this cherished, heavenly kingdom work accomplished. All, with Jehovah God's guidance through his appointed means. As Galatians 6:9,10 commands, as Jehovah's people, we look to "...work what is good toward all...". All assignments are covered by ones motivated not just by obedience, they are fulfilled from the heart to reach other earnest-hearted ones, hungering for truth. Everybody needs to know, What Does the Bible Really Teach. Yes. Too, through logic reasoning: Seeing Jehovah help safeguard me in many ways, fulfillment of biblical prophecies of old, to the word; seeing strongly entrenched things in opposition to God's view altered... Certainly, then, Jehovah God's word deserves to the import that Jesus himself placed on it... (Psalm 40:8, 143:10, Matthew 7:21, John 3:16-18 ) The work He assigned to his people, has such urgency as well as potency. It cannot be contained to just ourselves. Such relief aide, must be shared to bring refreshing relief to any one with that desiring ear to hear/to receive help to Draw Closer to Jehovah. With WWW.JW.ORG, individuals, can take their time to do their own research to study to educate self. Plus, one follows the noble minded ones of the Boreans spoken of in the book of Acts, Acts 17:10,11. Hearsay, was not what contended them. ***Pray for God's understanding, Study, Research, Meditate on what is covered. Revelation 3:12, 13. Keep on Seeking, First, God's Kingdom, Shedera,

731languages! It is amazing!! It is awesome!!! As there are nearly 6,500 spoken languages in the world. 731covers slightly more than 10% of the total. That also meants at least 10% of world's races with difference languages/tongues are now make possible to use their most familiar mother tongue to learn Bible's truth and draw themselves closer to Jehovah. Indeed, this is a very remarkable achievement. We sincerely thank Jehovah for the following: 1) for making it possible for us to see how He Himself gradually makes His words come truth. 2) for giving every one of us to have the privilege and opportunity to learn to be His co-worker to work hands in hands with Him to make His wonderful promises come truth. Hence, allow us to experience the same Joy that He has when He makes his words come truth. In Revelation 7:9 and in Isaiah 66:18, Jehovah said, He wants to gather all nations and all languages/all tongues to be His people. Since, there are still 80% and more languages and tongues out there awaiting for the truths to reach their hearts and to touch their soul....and draw closer to Jehovah... May the zeal of Jehovah of armies, send in more workers to His fields, to speed up the fulfillment of His wonderful promises in its own time! In Jesus name we pray Amen:)

First John 5:19 says that we know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. This means that the wicked one (Satan) is influencing all bad things happening on this earth at the moment. But when you look at Revelation 21:3,4, it tells of a time when "death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore, the former things have passed away" so when looking at the model prayer, it says to do God's will on heaven AND earth, and obviously those conditions are not in heaven and earth right now. But when you think about that, then you will see that soon, Jehovah WILL change these earthly conditions, and you will see that this world we are living in will NO LONGER be such a horrid place, filled with crime. Why do you think you lock your doors at night? It is because you don't want anyone to break in. It is because the world we live in where SATAN is influencing the people around us. As someone whos father is LITERALLY not a JW and my mother is, I can understand MJ's view, and I know how he felt, but when I stopped to look at Jehovah's view, it saved me.

Come to think of it, Was Judas Iscariot not walking directly with Jesus? did he not sin by betraying Jesus? Was Aaron not with Moses, did he not sin by calving an idol for the people to worship? That is the point and that is what Free will is about. People can be taught everything but the choice to do the right thing is solely theirs. Jesus decided to shun Judas because he realised he wasn't repentant. Peter denied Jesus but this time there was a show of repentance so he was used. Why corrupt yourself with someone who is unrepentant. I guess this explains a lot of things. Need I say more, if you are a good citizen and you realize a child molester stays somewhere no matter what this human believes in, why won't you report such a person to be arrested. You never know he will molest your ward too. So please run as fast as you can and get him arrested. Rather than publish falsehood, why don't you analyse exactly what got you bitter, cos I realized you are not happy. Please Jehovah is the source of all happiness. Let's all run to him and we will be happy in this wicked system of things. My small bit

(YOU SAID) Whilst this is an impressive feat it has no bearing at all on whether what is contained on the site is actually TRUE or not. Large numbers do not = truth. (I SAID) *It also doesn't mean it's false either. (YOU SAID) Branch offices are closing around the world, the WT society needs more money from you so it can pay for a massive and unnecessary transfer away from the Brooklyn HQ and because of the enormous number of impending child abuse cases. (I SAID) * Branch offices are not closing they are being merged to make better use of donated funds. With most things being digital now, there are less printing needs therefor less space needed. Just because Apple restructures doesn't mean anything is wrong. As for child abuse claims, yes, there are claims in almost anything run by mankind. The Bible clearly talks about how Wolves in sheep's clothing will enter the congregations to tear them apart. This does happen because perverts find it easy to get themselves pleasure by infiltrating any religious setting as they are forgiving and trusting and the wolves use that to try and tear things down, and you help them right along. Personally I serve Jehovah. I don't let my service to Jehovah be guided by what imperfect people do. I follow what the Bible states, not what someone does. I hate the fact that these perverts are in the congregations but we are living in a world that the Bible states is being run by The Wicked One, hence Satan, so, bad people are expected as the Bible clearly states that Wolves will entervthe congregation. Soon, Jesus will take control of this world and those people will no longer live. As I said, I don't follow Jehovah or not follow him because of sick people who do sick things, I do it to serve the one true God, Jehovah. (YOU SAID) Stephen Lett's JW broadcast of a few months ago was a cringeworthy attempt to get you all to dig deep and give money that many Wintesses do not really have to spare. Please, please, please do NOT assume that just because a website is translated into hundreds of languages it somehow means the creator of the universe is behind it. (I SAID) *No Jehovahs witness is forced to give a dime. I didn't support the work in any way for about 10 years as I just couldn't afford it, now, I give what I can because I want to. Churches of the world pass their plates around continually and some even have holes in the plates so change will fall through and embarrasse the one who is giving their best as they only want bills and cheques. The reason that he said that is because how will ones know there is a need if noone tells them. Did you mention that money is needed because they no longer allow new congregations to get mortgages to build their Kingdom halls but now instead just give the money needed. If there are poor places, they can't afford to build a kingdom hall, now they get one for free. Now, repairs are paid by the Socioty too. With all the natural disasters, like the ones you mentioned destroy Kingdom halls, destroy houses. Now, the Socioty pays for all repair of Kingdom halls and repairs to the houses of ones in the Kingdom halls as well as help others who are not even witnesses. They supply food, cloths and are on the ground usually before any other help agency gets there. Just look, and see on jw.org and you will find many many experiences. All this costs money and its all donated anonymously. (YOU SAID) If he was that interested in the religion why did he not intervene to save the 30+ JW's who died in the Philippines when typhoon Haiyan hit? Where do his priorities lie if he'd rather concentrate on a website than saving lives?? (I SAID) *This is Satan's world right now. Soon that will change. Right now, time and unforseen occurrences befall us all, but not for long. As for Stephen Lett, he was brought up with a deaf parent. When you grow up with deaf parents, your gestures are a little animated. Many people don't like that, but I'm sure you are not perfect either. As for witnesses or others who die due to natural disasters etc, This is Satan's system of things and Time and unforseen events befall us all. These are not God's fault but Satan's and mankind's the self as Adam and Eve chose to do things their own way, the wrong way. You obviously used to be a witness and got caught doing something you should not have and didn't want to stop and didn't want to get kicked out, and when you did, well, you didn't like it, or you lost something valuable to you because of it, say a wife or something. Everyone has to live their own life the way their conscience tells them. Just because it is different from what you want, doesn't make it wrong. Instead of tearing down imperfect people, if you have issues, why not stop attacking people and debate the religion itself. If you are so sure JWs are wrong, prove it from the Bible. Show how what they are doing is wrong from a Bible standpoint, but, oh, I forgot, you tried that and you couldn't fi d anything so you had to attack imperfect people. (YOU SAID) P.S - Translating a website into several hundred languages would be made easier for the likes Google, Amazon, YouTube, BBC etc. if they had the thousands of hours of UNPAID labour that the JW's have *Ya, ok, right, great comparisons. It isn't just work, its love. Thats what you just don't get. Apple and Google don't care anything about you. They are there to translate their sites stratigically to get your money. They don't care about a 1000 people who speak an unknown language in the Bush as they won't make enough money from them period. (I SAY) You are disgruntled for some reason and spend your days acting out your anger. I feel sad for you as your life is so full of hate, like that of the original opposer of Jehovah.

If you don't like it, why do you complain do much. I bet you were there in a judicial meeting, why? Why if you didn't want to be there? Because you do, you just want it on your terms instead of Jehovahs. All religions kick out ones who don't follow church guidelines. I think in the catholic religion its called excommunication. If you don't want to be a JW, just get over the hate of not being able to do it your way as there is always a new religion starting that waters down God's word until it fits what it is you want. I'm sure when you decide you jos want something else changed in their foctrins,bother too will kick you out and you will have to join the next watered down version.

Jwfacts.com Ladies and Gentlemen, run from this organization. Don't walk, run. I and several *thousands* others have testimonies about who the witnesses REALLY are. They may all seem nice,friendly, and welcoming, but when you want to leave, they will turn their backs on you. Even your mothers fathers uncles. Your own children will shun you at the command of the Watchtower. Jw will not tell you upfront that this is their policy. Forget the most translated Website. Also check out the ARC who's been investigating the witnesses because they are covering up Child Molestation and Sexual Abuse within their congregations. And don't forget about all the *false* prophecies that these guys have predicted. 1874,1914,1925 etc. Look it up. This is no Christian Congregation. Jesus wouldn't lie the way these people do and I should know, I've had experience with them. This church is filled with hypocrisy and you need to run from them far as you can. They say they serve Jehovah and I believe they do. But Not God. Jehovah isn't the name for God. Look that up too. Even their organization admits it's not God's name and yet they still use it for worship and praise. This is a CULT. Go to JWfacts.com if you want TTATT (TheTruthAboutTheTruth)

Mike, I agree with you that no one really knows how God's personal name was pronounced in Hebrew. So Jehovah or Yahweh in English will do just fine. Restoring it to the Hebrew scriptures is also fine, but to substitute it for kurios in the New Testament 237 times when less than half the so-called "restorations" are not quotations from the Hebrew scriptures, is presumptuous at best. That is quite obvious when not one ancient manuscript or fragment thereof contains the divine name.

Being a person who prefers to investigate all sides of a matter thoroughly to check the validity of content and data, to get the facts and see for myself what people really believe and how they are, I've checked the content on Jwfacts and spent lots of time on JW.ORG & along talking to JWs directly to see how they really are and what they believe for myself. After doing my own investigation, finding out the Whys behind matters, and looking deeper to get all the facts to see the full picture of matters, from an objective analysis, in all honesty, I can't say that the content on Jwfacts proved to be entirely factual when tested and investigated more thoroughly. After getting all the facts and seeing the entire picture of matters some of it in fact was even incorrect and misleading, almost like a researcher who's not a scholar but just looking for any random info and data they can find to make someone else look bad without making sure what's stated is correct and substantiated, more like a deliberate defamation site, rather than an accurately informative one. Comparing it to Jw.org website, everything I read not only was very positive, but did in fact prove to be 100% Bible based content after looking it up for myself.

"Most translated" doesn't necessarily mean the most read. Also, as the article pointed out, the organization's efforts can be viewed as mass proselytizing, based in the Jehovah's Witnesses' belief that "This Good News of the Kingdom Must Be Preached In All the World" - before their apocalyptic vision of "Armageddon" can take place. That displays a slightly more sinister & chilling aspect of their extensive translation efforts.

As Jehovah's witnesses, we are conscious of the fact that we are indeed already in the last days when this wicked system of things will be totally destroyed. Hence, the intense global preaching work and for the preaching work to be effective, people must be preached to in their own languages. Without an iota of doubt, this world record proves that the organisation has the backing of Jehovah God as this is absolutely beyond any human/organisation to achieve.

Just because it is translated into many languages doesn't mean it's actually read or even doing good. The growth rate of Jehovah's witnesses is barely above the population growth yearly. Most new ones are children of witnesses. The translation is a remarkable feat, but nothing that truly means it has Gods backing. Just a bunch of people doing something they enjoy. Not as big of a deal as is being made here. And I agree with first post, I believe Michael Jacksons upbringing really messed with his head. Glad his daughter took a stand against it.

Not that I think you will ever actually read this, but the growth rate of people willingly being baptized as JW's each day is well over 100 (each day) and if that isn't incredible enough, this translation work, and all the other work, from going door to door - to the people who work translating the literature is all voluntary. No one is ever paid to do this. The money for conventions, assemblies, literature, all of it, is paid for by contributions. To me, that is proof they have God's backing. There is no other organization, religious or not, who can say that.

staggering 731 different languages? Well, we are working harder to add more. why? Coz there are much more people who need to read the Bible and Bible-based literature in their own language to know about the true God Jehovah and what his government under Jesus Christ will do for mankind. To understand this, each individual needs to read the Bible for themselves and see/hear what it says not what others say it says. Check out the website www.jw.org. First item is "Read the Bible online". Also try the mobile app 'JW Library' it has several Bible translations not published by Jehovah's witnesses (King James, American Standard, Byington, etc). Everyone must hear this good news whether they join us in spreading it or not, even though we will be glad if they joined to help.

What do you mean by "different languages' variations of sign language"? I know that there is a signed version of English (signed exact English), but I don't think the JWs use that on their website. I imagine they use actual sign languages, which are varied in their grammar and vocabulary and which bear very little relationship with spoken languages. (American Sign Language is closer to French Sign Language, Dutch Sign Language, and Irish Sign Language than it is to British Sign Language, Australian Sign Language (Auslan), or New Zealand Sign Language).

In order to educate millions in the world as quickly as possible, Jesus has used Jehovah’s Witnesses Multilanguage website, with 760 languages at this time and still growing. For instance, millions now know that God Almighty has a name. It is Jehovah. Jesus made his Father’s name known, as he stated at John 17:6, 26. Our bibles translate this name correctly in more than 7,000 places. The 1611 KJ bible had it correct in only 4 places, one being Ps 83:18. Now, the Divine Name KJ has restored our Creator’s name, rightfully, in all 7,000 some places. Genesis 18:18 says Abraham is surely going to become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed by means of him. This is prophecy in fulfillment today, as true followers of Abraham’s descendant, Jesus Christ, are unified worldwide...a Multilanguage brotherhood who all preach the good news of God’s Kingdom. We are Jehovah’s nations of people around the earth. Revelation 7:9 speaks about a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands. Psalm 37:29 speaks about the righteous who will possess the earth, and will live forever on it. At Matthew 5:5 Jesus spoke about how happy the mild-tempered are, since they will inherit the earth. Jesus said my kingdom is no part of this world. Satan tempted Jesus, though. Remember? Satan offered Jesus all the kingdoms on earth, if he would worship him. Jesus said worship belongs only to Jehovah. The false religious leaders and the political element of Jesus' day brutally killed the Son of God. These false religious leaders meddled in politics…like they do today. True Christians see the truth. We have been praying for God's kingdom to come, for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. God's government is no part of the world. Remember, “Who offered the kingdoms to Jesus?”(Matt 4:9) Think about it. The kingdoms on earth today are still controlled by Jesus' enemy, Satan, just as they were back then. Things have not changed. They won't change until Jehovah removes his enemies from power. Evil rule has been in charge on earth since Satan rebelled against God 6,000 yrs ago. The good news is that we are living during the time when the evil one's rule will end. All wickedness will end. Ps 37:9-11, 29 This means Satan's co-rulers, the human governments on earth will be completely removed forever! This will happen at Armageddon. All of these subjects and more can be searched on jw.org ...for example, "Who is Satan? What happens when we die? Who go to heaven and why? Search these questions. If you want to know what your bible really teaches, this is the website you need to go to. Look the scriptures up in your own copy of the bible.

The oldest Bible's available along with ancient artifacts and scrolls (such as the Dead Sea Scrolls) combined reveal that the name of God 'JEHOVAH' should be on the Bible 7,216 times!!! Think He wants us to know his name? Go to jw.org, search Trinity, and sit down with a cup of coffee to read and reference eye opening truths, using any Bible translation/version. The articles reference many non-witness sources. See for yourself the educational gifts that God has given us as promised during these last days just on this subject alone; all in fulfillment of the prophesies outlined in the last chapter of Daniel. Let God's word tell you what you need to know about the trinity doctrine. Ask God in prayer beforehand for understanding and insight and the ability to accept what He reveals to you. Jesus said you will know the truth and it will set you free. There IS truth regarding who God is, who Jesus is, and what holy spirit is. Enjoy your STUDY of the Bible and may Jehovah God bless your efforts to draw close to him. John 17:3.

This is truly an impressive accomplishment. However, the fact that information is translated does not make it truthful. For instance, from time to time, they get "new understandings". Hence, information previously translated in various languages and presented as the true was in fact false. So, while we can acclaim the technical achievement and the good will of everyone behind this, the information itself can be questioned.

The amazing thing about the website is that it is completely Bible oriented. Individuals are directed to check cited scriptures in what ever bible translation that they have to hand. You will note that there are a number translations that JW's used prior to preparing the New World Translation (NWT), however, they never shy away from using others, as the Bible's message is contained within all. The NWT is clearer as it is translated from available manuscripts, and the Divine Name, Jehovah (long used in English and rendered differently in other languages) has been restored to it's rightful places, as found in the original text. Please explore the site and you will truly find it enlightening.

M. Thomas said Reading this article I could not help but be reminded on the story of the Tower of Babel. Quite the interesting juxtaposition. I loved when I saw your post (above)!. Yes, what the Tower of Babel did was to make a confusion of languages so people wouldn't understand among themselves. This web site on the contrary (juxtaposition) has the power to facilitate the understanding among the Peoples that really want to do God's will so they speak 'the language of truth'. 1 Corinthians 1:10 says that God's followers should be united in what they say, in the same mind and way of thinking and do not have different doctrines ("Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you should all speak in agreement and that there should be no divisions among you, but that you may be completely united in the same mind and in the same line of thought.") So, what this colossal work shows is no other than the work that true worshipers would be doing: Putting people together under a pure teaching of the truth of the Bible... Nobody would ever be able to hide the shine that Jehovah's People irradiate not even those that hate them more, like the apostate. They justify their misconduct, but God will bring their works to light so everybody sees their shame. Meanwhile, Jehovah's people keep preaching, preaching, preaching!!!

Yes the greatest gift given to all intelligent living beings besides life & the gift of salvation thru Jesus Christ's sacrifice is the freedom of choice. Jehovah gives us a choice with consequences. He set out laws & principles and knowing how our bodies, minds, needs & environment is made there are boundaries & physical consequences. Even MOST mere humans in a loving household set forth similar boundaries & enforce them within moral grounds. Thus, all have the freedom of choice to take in this knowledge and live a better life and the hope of a wonderful future forever. Jehovah has made this available to all mankind it is each individuals CHOICE to choose and as a loving parent Jehovah himself lovingly hopes as many people as possible will choose LIFE.

Another awesome topic to read by Hebrew and Greek Scholars and un-biased theologians is that NWT is the top most accurate bible translation. Sweet truth, in our Bible Museum, we have authentic 1613 KJ version, a beautiful master piece, as we JW describe it. And it has the name "JEHOVAH" in the more than 7,000 times that it appears in the Holy scriptures. It's so sad that the publishers of subsequent KJ translations chose to remove that name and substitute it with the title LORD in caps. More sad is folks don't know this and instead judge without knowledge. But how powerful and great all mighty Jehovah!!! Scholars agree the contents are intact despite the years of translations. Our loving creator, Jehovah, wants us to know truth and in due time all will know him, for better or for worse. Best to all! Let his name, Jehovah be sanctified, as Jesus instructed us to pray!

Why Please Stop This? Not everyone knows what Jehovah's witnesses teach. Not everyone knows that the Bible teaches that Jesus' second presence began in October 1914 when his kingship was established. Not everyone knows that the Bible teaches that the Apostles were raised to heavenly life in the spring of 1918 or that Jesus rejected all other religions in the fall of that year. And certainly not everyone knows that certain men in Brooklyn New York were hand picked by Jesus Christ in 1919 as the Bible clearly teaches. Even those chosen did not know it, since it was only discovered by the current Governing Body in 2012 that this is what actually happened. It's wonderful how Bible teachings become clear when we follow the teachings of uninspired men in Warwick.

When Jesus was still here on earth, his disciples mistakenly thought that the KINGDOM of (Jehovah) God is going to be established straight away. They began to sing loudly...very happy. Some Pharisees however, asked Jesus to rebuke the crowd.

Our translation work is massive and so cool! And to be honest reading the Watchtower is not a requirement to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses...though we do study it once a week so it certainly does help. The main textbook is the Bible, and you also don't have to use the translation provided by Jehovah's Witnesses. If you choose to use the King James Versión, that's just fine-but very few people do, since it's much more difficult to understand as the language is archaic.

Sign language too is included - amazing. Some responding to this fact may have the could care less attitude or may think the JW's are tooting their own horn.- well I believe the facts speak for themselves - this is a genuine effort to reach as many people as is possible, and one way to to do that is to provide any form of publication in ones mother tongue and if the message is Biblical - so what every one should have the opportunity to examine a book that was designed to provide decent guidance and principles to live by -- let your prejudices go, the world has had far too much to deal with when it comes to trying to live a decent life - its up to you though - [my opinion only]

And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” (Matthew 28:19,20) He also said: "But you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Ju·deʹa and Sa·marʹi·a, and to the most distant part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) That's what the Witnesses are doing thoroughly.

Government of the earth and mankind by humans, including government by politicians, has been a disastrous failure. Democracy, the so called government BY the people, FOR the people and OF the people, is like the blind leading the blind. So the experiment of human rule is about to end. Democracy and all other political ideologies will soon give way to Theocracy which is rule by God the Creator. It is just as Revelation 11:17 states: ".....We thank you, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king." This is a world shaking event that took place in 1914 backed by bible chronology and the fulfillment of bible prophecy and worthy of worldwide publicity. This is very clearly indicated by Revelation 14:6,7. Therefore Jehovah's Witnesses are proclaiming the message of God's Kingdom earthwide in over 800 languages.

Whether you like the work of Jehovahs Witnesses or not, believe the propaganda of those who hate it, or not, an important fact remains: this is not about religious dogma but a sincere bible education work. People hated Jesus because he went against the grain of his day...hated mostly for exposing the religious wickedness that existed, and Its the same today, but truth always prevails. We are well aware that bad things and people exist and happen in every religion and that makes that wrongdoer the bad one, not the whole religion. The bible is full of warnings about hypocrisy and JW's are constantly warned/counciled about it...it was in our weekly bible study, just this week. As a group, we detest and shun child abuse and alert the authorities to any who engage in it.

A website? Children are more important than a website! I am not a witness, I never have been but my sister and her husband are witnesses but want to leave. The Jehovah Witness Governing Body member Geoffrey Jackson testified under oath at the Australian Royal Commission last month. You can see it on YouTube. He admitted that it is Witness policy to appoint "repentant" child molesters as church elders. He admitted that the Witness elders are not appointed by the holy spirit and that the Kingdom Halls are a dangerous place for children. I asked one of your church elders at my door and he said "We already know about the 24,000 Witness pedophile database that we have at our bethel but we want our members to focus on our website right now, we don't tell them about the Australian Royal Commission because that's bad publicity. Translation and our website are the most important things right now." I told him that the Royal Commission was on CNN and hundreds of newspapers and he said because he doesn't have children himself that it's not a big deal to him. He said Witnesses are told not to search on Google because right now their governing body wants more donations and if Witnesses find out about this they will stop giving money. According to my sister, a lot of Witnesses are secretly planning to leave the church soon because of all this. What do you all think? Is a website more important than protecting children from those 24,000 Witness pedophiles? The Royal Commission said they care more about witness children than the witness parents. What do you think?

Jose Alonso. You comments are untruthful, Very misleading. The JW.org website publishes the JW child protection and safeguarding policies plus information on the restrictions put on child sex offenders in a congregation, in many past and recent Watchtower articles. They are NOT given positions of responsibility in the congregation and you have misrepresented G.Jackson and the elder you say came to your door. You have twisted their words. Jehovah is the Judge of all through Jesus Christ and all sinners have to account for their actions. Justice will be done for victims of abuse. Sexual predators are everywhere from the top to the bottom of society. Their actions are despicable and they deserve the hate they receive. We JWs love and protect our children and others that are vulnerable in our midst. We continue to safeguard them scriptually and according to the laws of the land. The Australian Commission investigated the protection policies of over 400 public, government, religious and charitable organisations. You are a hypocrite. I guess you and your friends still vote, engage with mainstream media organisations, give to charity, use public and private services who have members that are convicted or non-convicted pedophiles or have failed children in their child protection policies. JWs do thier best and strive to do better according to the law of God and as citizens. All sinners need the ransom sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, repentance and the forgiveness of sins, including you. So we will continue to work hard taking the message of God’s love, the means of salvation in Jesus and the end of all wickedness to to ends of the earth. Our translation work makes this possible. May Jehovah continue to bless our work. Amen.

It is true Jose that Jehovah's Witness elders have often failed to report alleged child molesters to the police...but consider how that would affect the reputation of Jehovah if the world knew how much of this goes on in the congregations. And remember there must be 2 Witnesses of a child molestation to be believed and acted upon within the congregation. So yes, elders accused of child molestation are protected when witnesses to such sin are not present so things are left in the capable hands of Jehovah to eventually straighten out.

There is a reason why the Witnesses are the only ones called by God's name, Jehovah. Bible readers know what Isaiah 60:22 says, but many do not know what it means. http://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/nwt/books/isaiah/60/#v23060022 In the late 1800's, Jehovah's Witnesses were a small group of people. However, now we have expanded to unbelievable numbers globally. The work of making disciples has produced phenomenal results! In 2014 over 8 million preachers studied with 9.5 million people, and 275,581 were baptised. That's 755 people every day who are adhering to the truth the bible teaches! Jesus said, at Jo 17:17, "...Your word is truth." There is only one truth in God's word. If you want to find it, you must study with Jehovah's Witnesses. Yes, there is a reason why the Witnesses are the only ones called by God's name, Jehovah.

The inspired Bible that JWs preach and teach tells all mankind that history is moving to a resolution .So every spark of beauty,worth and meaning that we experience in this wicked world,glimmers as a relic of a good world that still bears marks of its original design. Every twinge of pain,anxiety,cruelty and injustice is a relic of the fall away from that design.We live on a planet in rebellion against God since the time of Eden and the compounded results of mans sin shows we cannot rule ourselves succesfully when we ignore Jehovah and direct our own steps apart from him.So we are thankfully moving to a resolution and Bible prophecy at Romans chapt 8 verse 22. is about to be fulfilled bringing an end to wickedness,suffering and death. What love God has shown in not giving up on mankind,being prepared to give up his Son Jesus Christ to come to earth and show us the way back to him.Expect big events very shortly as God drops the curtain on this vale of tears and brings in a righteous new world under his Kingdom .Speak with Jehovah's Witnesses or look at JW.ORG. (Over 700 languages). Don't procrastinate,time is short(Matthew chapt.24. Verse 14 ). You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to tell them of these radical changes for the good as we see Gods purpose coming to fruition!

I don't usually comment on blogs or public posts, but I felt that I MUST correct the article regarding the statement that all Jehovah's Witnesses must read the Watchtower as a fundamental requirement to becoming one of Jehovah's Witnesses. That is absolutely and emphatically FALSE !! I was born and raised a JW and I am third generation JW, and neither my parents or Elders or my Bible Teachers ever said to me that I must be able to read the Watchtower in order to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses. The primary requirement to become a Jehovah's Witnesses is your personal decision to adhere to bible principles and change your life and personality to conform to Jesus role model which included preaching to everyone about the wondrous promise of God's Kingdom! It is a personal decision made between the individual and Jehovah God through prayer and then they approach the Elders and make a request to be baptized and if they are making visible efforts to reflect that in their life they are approved for baptism.

I know someone who went to the same KH as the Jacksons. Michaels father was not a JW. Occasionally he came to a meeting with his wife. His mother did her best to bring her children up with a husband who was obsessed with fame and fortune, for his kids. Had his father been more concerned with their spiritual welfare, they could have had a happy life. As for child molesters, I have been a JW for 75 years and my husband was an elder for many years. Only once in all those years did I know About a positively proven child molester in the congregation and he was promptly arrested. Elders take their responsibility to keep the congregation safe very seriously. Why on earth would they want a child molester among us. On the other hand when JWS refuse to associate with an unrepentant immoral person we are called cruel. You know that old saying " You're dame if you do and you're damd if you don't". A person can always be repentant and rejoin the congregation. Read 1 Corinthians chapter 5. The Apostle Paul told the congregation what to do about an unrepentant immoral Christian. Then in his Second letter to the same congregation in chapter two Paul wrote that they should forgive the man because he was repentant. JWs do their very best to follow the pattern set by Jesus and the Apostles. According to the book History of Western Civilization, " The beliefs of JWs are the closest thing to primitive Christianity"

I too am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I truly appreciated your article. I see others have corrected what you said about us being required to read the Watchtower and Awake as well as the bible. I don't think you dislike us, I think you just misspoke what you were trying to say, or could have just not be give the true facts. It happens to the best of us, it's just that as one of JW'S, our faith truly IS our way of life, and so much about us is misunderstood, that we can't help but try and correct it. One thing I didn't see any one else mention was that we also publish in braille, for the blind. And you can even download braille onto your tablets or phones! I don't know how it works, but I think it's amazing, and if I were blind, (as my father was) I would be sooooo happy NOT to have been overlooked! I had no idea we were the website your article was talking about, but knowing how very important it is to us to help people learn about Jehovah God, it didn't totally surprise me. If you have ever had the opportunity to show someone the bible, or a book , or the Watchtower in their native tongue.......well, I can tell you, their faces just light up, and they are so thankful. It reminds me of people who move to another state, or country, but still have their hometown newspaper mailed to them. It feels like HOME! Thank you so much for your article. so many times we only hear the bad things people who are not witnesses say. It's nice to hear when someone has something positive to say. And I personally have to apologize for all the Michael Jackson comments, both negative and the positive ones, for they have nothing what so ever to do with your article. from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU again for your article.

There is only ONE organized, world wide religion on the the planet who teaches the truth about God, Jesus, death, etc...and that is Jehovah's Witnesses. Before I became one in 1994, I researched many different religions, and these people are the only ones who actually PRACTICE what the bible teaches. Sure, there's gonna be hypocrites, but if a witness is found to be practicing something against what the bible says and they're unrepentant, they are no longer a witness, and must take certain steps to become reinstated. This is yet another reason why I know that I've found the truth!! I would expect nothing less than"haters" trying to raise doubts, and I would expect God's people to have the most translated website in the world!!

I was raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. After suffering extreme repeated heartache, I left the organization because I no longer cared for myself. Years later, I ended up studying many other religions and even looked to science for the answers. I studied everything completely unbiased from the library. If anyone is reading this with curiosity who is not one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I can tell you this....after two years of in depth study I came to the unequivocal conclusion that Jehovah's Witnesses are teaching the absolute truth about is in the bible. And, if you have a scientific way of thinking, like me. Do not try and tackle the difficult questions first, like; "is there really an invisible God in the sky"? Instead, try something much more simple. If you are 'truly' searching (and not just trying to test a theory)...say a prayer and ask God to help you find the truth. I can't promise much when it comes to faith, but, I can promise you one thing for sure. If you pray to Jehovah for help, he WILL answer you! Try prayer out for yourself and you will see that all other complicated topics become less difficult when you discover that there actually is a creator who cares enough to listen to you. Try it out today and you will see it for yourself!

It is our heart that speaks to people, it is our heart that motivates us to move forward, to learn, to share what we learn. We can only motivate our hearts, if our brains are instructed in the language of our hearts ... if you are deaf - then bible truths in sign language touches your heart - if you speak English but are of a sub dialect that perhaps speaks pigeon English - then the bible truths in pigeon English would reach deeper into the heart than just English. This is why JW's spend time translating into so many languages so we can reach hearts and save lives and ultimately not only praise our God Jehovah but show people that he is God Almighty and he alone has the right to rule. (Ps 83:18 - Rev 4:11). Why so many comments on here as one poster asked? Because we want to credit to go to our God ... it is HIS organization and therefore it is he who deserves all the credit. I'm am so very proud to be a humble of Jehovah ... please may the efforts reach many many more hearts.

I was raised in a strict evangelical Baptist community. My pastors were quite clear in telling us that Witnesses were a cult who hated minorities and did not believe in Christ. I remember reading a tract against the Witnesses which declared they never mention Jesus in their religious services. Such misrepresentations are still alive and seem designed to caution people against listening to the Witnesses. In the 40s Witnesses were accused of supporting Nazism (though they were imprisoned in Germany). In the 80s and 90s they were accused of supporting Communism (though they were imprisoned and beaten in Communist countries). I am so proud that they have not given up loving people all over the world and willing to share the Bible's message of hope in whatever Bible translation a person prefers. They are a good people. Hal

Since Jehovah god and Jesus Christ is not partial,we were commanded to preach to all nations and tongues,to love our neighbor as ourself;that is why traslation of the Bible and related publications of spiritual food is essentially critical to the survival of everyone.(Acts 10:34,35;Matthew 28:19,20).JW is just doing the messenger work,inviting everyone to examine the good news of the kingdom or God's government ,and truth from God.Also,the time of the end of this 'critical time hard to deal with' is very near(2 Timothy 3:1-5.)Wicked world under Satan's rule will be wiped out to preserve the ones that does the will of God, to live endlessly in paradise on earth.(Luke 23:43) "Come! and let anyone thirsting come;let anyone who wishes take life's water free."

It is not "mandatory" for JWs to literally read anything. There are some who cannot read due to whatever physical or mental disabilities. However, the Bible itself says it's mandatory for those who want to worship God correctly to accurately learn about Him, His will, purposes and promises, and to live accordingly (John 3:16; 17:3). In order to do that, it is important to have access to the Bible in whatever format a person can use. Hence, there are audio recordings of the actual Bible for people to listen to online in many different languages for free. This is an amazing fete and a great benefit to those who are illiterate for whatever reason. The primary reason that JWs are translating the New World Translation, their publications and website into so many languages is because all who want to worship God the way He wants need to be united in their beliefs (1 Corinthians 1:10). In the past, JWs would use whatever Bible they could get in their language. Since some translations aren't as accurate as others, and the Bible, it can be easy for each group to believe only according to the Bible they are using. JWs worked hard to accurately translate the Bible from the earliest copies of the Bible available. They originally write the translation into English (the New World Translation) then translate the NWT into other languages, always trying hard to keep the wording as close to the early writings. This takes time, but diligently they continue to add different languages. The Watchtower and Awake are aids to understanding and learning more about the Bible and how to apply its teachings in our lives. Since they are smaller and less difficult to translate accurately, these are available in more languages than the New World Translation. In this way, no matter what Bible a person (JW or not) uses, they learn the exact same thing about what the Bible really teaches. That is what I believe makes this website, and Jehovah's Witnesses as a whole, so unique.

I really appreciated this nice article. However, I do have to make a clarification on your statement that they have their own special Bible. That is not an accurate statement. The Bible that Witnesses use is "different" from, say. the King James Bible, but the difference is in the accuracy of the translation. Most Bible scholars agree that the New World Translation is in fact THE most accurately translated Bible ever printed. I was translated from original manuscripts and painstakingly restored God's name, everywhere other translations removed God's name for whatever reasons. If there are "changes" it is only to be more accurate. Some don't like this because they just don't like change but the Bible itself says that God asks His followers to be willing to "worship Him in spirit and truth" and the most accurately translated Bible would offer anyone that opportunity. Check this out for yourselves. I think anyone that makes the effort will be pleasantly surprised. I know I did...and I was amazed.

The transaltions are imporatnt because people will come to know the way the information about our heritage has been hiden and twisted in the minds of the common people. Politicians, worldly kings, the higher levels of society, and news writers that do not explore for truth in search of heritage will mix things up -- so our publications open the Bible up to the truth about the heritage we have in Adam, Seth, --all along the blood line to Noah, and after, thru Abraham and Sarah -- with Jesus as the perfect heir...we will all live again in the blood of Christ -- because we will inherit his blood --perfection...the resurrection of the unrighteous is in our near future. We are from the spirit kingdom, not the mammal kingdom. This is something that is learned as you seek the Kingdom and the righteousness through the premise that we can be saved through the blood o the one seed - heir...Jesus. I am not speaking out of my own initiative, I speak from the evidence that I have that has convinced me that we do indeed inherit perfection just as we inherit the imperfection. My personal Bible study with the witnesses lead me to these truths--we are created equal. I do not worship the witnesses, I am a witness.I worship with truth and spirit. I worship the creator.

As one of Jehovah'so Witnesses,I too was once a member of a Protestant church. Their congregation was very ill- informed about Jesus' teaching of a earth wide paradise to be ruled by Jesus and his heavenly Bride-class. He, as the only begotten son of Jehovah God poured out his precious blood which, in turn provided a opportunity for honest hearted men and women to gain everlasting life without satanic influence on a cleansed, paradise right here on earth. All those asleep in death will be resurrected to live and learn of Jehovah's purpose for obedient mankind, in which our first parents gave up due to their disobedience and lack of appreciation that their Creator knows what is best for His loved creations. God's Kingdom will replace all man's imperfect governments and allow man to reach human perfection both physically and mentally, truly living in global peace! In other words, Jesus Christ bought back what Adam and Eve lost, everlasting life on a paradise earth. Rev. 21:1-4 Douglas Edward Burkepile

I knew WWW.JW.ORG was the most translated website before I did the search. Love the article, love most of the comments too. I agree that it shows Divine backing. And yes, JWs are not required to read the Watchtower or other publications. It is merely an aid to Bible study. JWs are also involved in literacy classes, teaching people to read and write...Not so that they can read our magazines or books but so that they can read the Bible. In my country (South Africa), with 11 official languages, the JWs publications are often the only literature available in that specific language. People can't wait for us to bring them magazines in their own language.

In the interests of accuracy, as of today, Sept 17, 2016, the website shows 858 languages. But that is the total number of languages in which either the web site is available, OR literature is available for download. Some of the languages are literature only. I counted the number of languages in which the web site itself is available, and I counted 614. Still by far the most translated web site in the world.

I was brought up as a member of Church of England. Never did I see anyone using a Bible in the church except as a fashion accessory. Never were we taught what the KIngdom meant, what Jehovahs name was nor his plan for humankind. I am most gratefu after years of closing the door on the JWs one day I listened and saw the pure logic of the Bible truths. BTW, one person above says that the JWs have now and then had new enlightenments which they seem to think proves we had false beliefs. Not so, the Bible tells us that as the time of the end approaches we will be given enlightenment progressively. It is much worse that other religions dont even tell the truth or seek daily to examine the scriptures as JW do and are willing to change when light becomes clearer on subjects

Just read the excellent post by Tomedes and 90% of the comments.I then visited JW.ORG and it is a well made bible study site! Most comments were intelligent thoughts. I saw a couple of disgruntled posters, who clearly had stopped practicing their JW religion and now had turned against it. They complained about being disfellowshipped, but I have read in the bible a passage that said not to even "say a greeting to such a man" and it was about a congregation member, back then, who had put himself in a position to be excommunicated [ the Catholic term for disfellowshipping ] The only other off base post I saw, was blaming Michael Jackson's religious upbringing for his conduct in show business. That's kind of dumb? Most all people in show business do things that are generally considered unchristian or unreligious. No one says that Marylin Manson is such a disgusting freak, because he was raised to be a catholic, methodist or whatever? I have noted through the years, the only time a person's actions in life are blamed on his religion, are when the person is known to be a JW. WHY IS THAT?? I have a copy of the New World Translation-the newest gray one and I like it more than all my other bible translations! I just looked up "what bible translation is most accurate wikipedia" on Google and scholars generally speak highly of, or consider the NWT to be the most accurate. They don't consider it perfect, just generally the best. Interesting! Thank you again tomedes for this info!

There is a vast unpaid army of volunteers happily giving up their time to help in the translation work, and there is just one overriding reason why they do this: love of God and their fellow man. Google, Wikipedia etc work on very different principles and can't really hope to compete with this highly organised religion. When you also factor in their various educational systems and disaster relief programs, along with their high moral codes of conduct, it is a wonder they get such negative press.

I agree with the comments about the Witnesses - or 'followers' as sometimes stated - not 'having' to read the Watchtower, Awake! Also, they do not have their own special Bible. The JW's Bible translation cannot be faulted for its accuracy, but don't take my word for it, check it out for yourselves by means of research of early Hebrew and Greek translations into English. JW's follow the bible's teachings, not any church teaching ie baptism...baptism for babies is not a bible teaching (cannot be found in the Bible) but a church teaching instead. So if church's teach this wrongly, what else are they teaching that is not bible based? For this reason JW's do not baptize babies. And the name Jehovah has not been 'put into' the JW Bible translation - instead, the name Jehovah has been removed from other translations and replaced with Lord, etc. Check it out for yourselves, don't just take JW's word for it.

Jose, the abomination you speak of is an abhorrence that isn't stuck within the bounds of Jehovah's Witnesses organisation like some seem to make it out as, nor is it a rampant disregard for safety. I'm sure that today you would be able to see that this issue is widespread, and by claiming Jehovah's Witnesses endanger their children by having a database about them is absurd. Would you state that NOT having a database would be safer? Legal institutions around the world have the same things, which protect the public. Of course, not in every place is this spruiked, nor posted on a witch-hunt to the unmerciless people quick to draw and quarter, but that database covers all cases of even an allegation. Would you be happy for someone who is wrongly accused to be drawn and quartered for a crime that they didn't commit? Many a man has been accused of this, and it sometimes takes decades before a confession from the accuser, if ever at all. And what about forgiveness? I was molested at school by an old man when I was 13 years old. I saw him later on in life, and as much as I didn't want to befriend him, I certainly don't hate him. Yes, he erred and messed my life up in many ways, along with others who attempted the same thing. But moving on, I could sit there and blame society for everything and how school didn't protect me, nor did the police when I was followed twice when I was even younger, not even coming to assist, but rather asking why I was not at home, and making me feel guilty. I had to lie down and hide in a garden, as a man in a car followed me over and over. Yet the law enforcement did nothing. Do I blame all police officers for this? Do I claim that a police station is a dangerous place for children to be? What about high school? I actually do claim that high school is a dangerous place to be, but not because of my experience with that person, but more so with the lies and bullying that went on that also helped wreck my innocence. It hasn't changed. High school is still the place where everyone is taught to get along by one mouth, and by the other loud mouth (peers), one is being educated that society is wicked, and for some tortuous. In conclusion, police stations and officers are vital for our society, even with these two oversights regarding this individual here (that's me...still here), before I reached my mid-teens even. I don't think your accusations are fair. As for the high schools, they are being investigated already. Still, when will it finally be ended? When Jehovah executes the wicked, unrepentant mankind. You went off focus from the article. If you were more inclined to read the internal evidence yourself, you'd be happy to see the many articles produced showing how to protect our children. This is not just in a Kingdom Hall, but when they are at the shops, at a sports event at the local park, at court, at school, at a gathering where there are many unbelievers, or any other place where a child molester might be. If you read these articles, you will see that Jehovah's organisation does indeed keep its congregation clean of unrepentant immoral people of all sorts, including child molesters. As a correction to something you stated from the past, it has been a requirement - even from before you typed your message by a handful of years I believe - that in that land of Australia, an appointed brother MUST have a Working with Children Check, and so must anybody who is involved with teaching children. Also generally speaking the point I wanted to make initially is that at the time of this writing, this website - https://jw.org - is translated into 887 languages.

How many other obsolete languages are you translating into? If JW's can grab this stat to prove that they are the one and only "true religion".. Let em have it if it makes them happy.. Hit me up in 2050 when the overlapping generation theory fails just like the last 5 Armageddon predictions have failed.. You hopeful JWs know what I'm talking about. Be honest.

@Ofer Tirosh I know this is a couple of years old but I just happened across it today. I think the number of translations is up to about 897 now. Maybe more as the translation work is never ending. And some of the languages being translated to are used by very small groups of people in distant villages that no other secular website would ever think twice about putting the effort into. But the love that JW's have for all people is immense because it's not the number of people who speak a certain language and dialect that determines if Jehovah's message would be translated for them, but it's the fact that there someone out there that needs to hear his message. I'm writing though to thank you Ofer Tirosh for your unbiased and informed piece of reporting. Obviously, I am one of JW's. But I'm not just thanking you for shining a favorable light on the work that our organization is trying to do, but thanking you for writing an article, a news piece/story, that's about facts and information. It's hard to find unbiased news reporting nowadays. Even the biggest stations, sites and newspapers today write articles that have their personal opinions at its core while they strategically wrap information and 'facts' around that opinion. Instead of reporting just the accurate facts and letting the reader develop their opinion around those facts. Your article was respectiful while not leaning too far one way or the other on your own personal feelings. As other people have already replied, I do want to reiterate that the huge translation work is not because of any requirement that JW's all read the Watchtower.... though the Watchtower is one of our primary Bible based tools that are used to show unity around the world since all JW's in all homes and Kingdom Halls around the world have the same valuable lessons and study material every week. The main goal in the translation work is to fulfill Bible prophecy, namely Mathew 24:14. What you said was not wrong but it helps to have a little more insight to tie together the information you discovered in your research. Thank you again sir. Have a great day!

Thank you Jehovah's Witnesses for your answers. This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel, “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. 30 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 32 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls. Joel 2 Today, Jehovah does not speak to us directly from the heavenly realm. We know from the Bible that in the first century, God enabled some anointed Christians to work miracles. (Acts 3:2-7; 9:36-42) Among the “different gifts” of the spirit were “gifts of healing.” (1 Cor. 12:4-11) But those and other gifts, such as speaking in tongues and prophesying, would soon come to an end. (1 Cor. 13:8) They are not available today. Even in Bible times, these supernatural communications were rare events, sometimes separated by centuries. Throughout history, Jehovah has most often communicated with his people in more indirect ways. Such is the case in our day. A way in which Jehovah communicates with us today: *The principal instrument of communication between God and humans is the Bible. So today prophesy means to preach the truth, and Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching the truth in these last days. The truth is God's name is Jehovah, and this good news of the kingdom which shall crush all the kingdoms of the earth today. Everyone who calls upon the name of Jehovah shall be saved. Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching the truth, and it is devastating my religious beliefs.

As I was preparing for an assignment, I felt the need to "Google" this interesting subject. I am not surprized that the articles number has increased and I am happy to share that to date the number of languages on jw.org is 953 since this article was posted. I do not have the details on the other figures for comparison but regadless I doubt that it is necessary. No site has the need, the manpower or the spirit of Jehovah to accomplish such a feat. My mother tounngue was Spanish but being raised in the U.S. I feel like English has become my mother toungue since I process "most" of information in English, but there is something about Spanish that still reaches my heart more than English ever will. I am so blessed to have access to this amazing site and to the jw app which is also in a lot of languages! Most today love technology so I invite you to check it out, search any subject you will find information that will amaze you. The site cites (no pun intended) a plathora of secular information that Jehovah's Witnesses did not write, scientific, and medical material as well as many solid encyclopedias - to remove doubt that the information is "made up" or based on "our views". Keep it positive, if you check it out you will not lose a thing but if you don't you will never know if you can gain something of great value - in Jesus' words John 17:3 "knowledge" that leads to everlasting life!

All the children of the Jackson Family have been exposed to the Jehovah's Witnesses at some point in their lives. The only ones that stayed are: Katherine (the mother) Rebbie, LaToya was for a while, and yes, so was Michael. But the rest of them didn't stay very long. It's also speculative that even Joseph (the father) may have had some exposure to the Jehovah's Witnesses through his side of the family as well. Ummm, as far as the Jehovah's Witnesses being the one and only true religion is questionable. There are many other religions that will make that same proclamation of being "The Only One True Religion". Religion in of itself is a works-based system no matter how you cut it. What really matters the most is having a true relationship with Jesus Christ and God the Father. That is all that matters. And yes, I too, have studied with the Jehovah's Witnesses for many years but never really made a full commitment in becoming one of them. I've heard too many horrifying stories about the group and the individuals who have been severely emotionally, psychologically, as well as spiritually hurt and damaged. My heart goes out to those who are hurting. There is help out there for those who seek it and find it.

It does matter how we serve God. You can't have a good relationship with him if your not serving him the way he wants. Just read matt 23, this is where Jesus is condemning the religious leaders. So it does matter how we serve God, it certainly mattered to jesus.god has a name and he wants it to be known. If left up to all other religions his name would never be known because they don't use it. Thank God for Jehovah witnesses!

Matthew 24:14 states that the good news of God’s Kingdom will be preached as a witness to all the nations and then the end ( of this wicked system of human rulership) will come. We can see the fulfilment of this prophecy by means of the exponential increase in the number of languages. What makes this so remarkable is that this is all done by an organisation of willing volunteers who do not even solicit funds for their literature. or for any of their services.This is nothing short of a modern day miracle. Undoubtedly, this work is being blessed by Jehovah God himself, under the direction of his son, Jesus Christ. Jesus did say that his followers would do works greater than the works which he did. Without a doubt, this has got to be the one and only true Religion.The evidence speaks for itself. What do you think?

I think that you are right. The exponential increase in the number of languages proves without a doubt that Jehovah's Witnesses is the one and only true religion.

Now JW.org is available in 983 languages and more are added every week. I have just learned that you can speak into Google microphone a subject and add JW, and it will link you to related text or video information. For example, try to speak "save my marriage JW", or "employment JW" or a phrase of a Bible scripture you wish to locate, followed by JW. Videos and musical videoclips at tv.jw.org is also a delight!

you were very misleading when commented on WHY it is the most translated website in the world. your comment was that it was because, primarily in order to understand the bible you had to be able to read the Watchtower. that is VERY misleading the WT is like your glasses, it's not your eyes they just make see more clearly. it is a discussion of a bible topic.

The information this sites states for the reason why the JW.ORG website is translated into so many languages, is WRONG! This statement in this article is NOT true: "One of the key pillars of the Jehovah's Witness belief system is that all its adherents must be able to read the Watchtower's (The Jehovah's Witnesses global HQ, based in the U.S.) publications in addition to the Jehovah's Witnesses' special translation of the Bible. In order for people to participate in the religion, they have to be able to read the Watchtower's publications, and translating their publications into believers' own language is necessary for them to belong to the religion." THIS SIMPLY IS NOT TRUE!!! There are many of Jehovah's witnesses who were and are illiterate. it is NOT A REQUIREMENT to be able to read the literature. We translate in different languages so that the good new of Gods kingdom can be preached in ALL the inhabited earth, for a witness- as Jesus foretold in Matthew24:14

God is Just, that Justice is being extended to people of every race, nationality and tongue. Justice requires Jehovah warn everyone He can that might change their way and actually turn around and worship Him.You all would demand no less from Him if He is to say we had our chance and did not answer it. Jehovah's Witnesses follow Jesus' example as close as possible,Jesus imitated Jehovah as close as possible. The term cult is used to scare others from taking advantage of something they cannot. I'm sure they said the same of Jesus as he made it clear the Jews were not teaching the people equally. The apostate churches could not make money sharing as Jesus did, so they made up the Burning Hell to extract money for prayers.Then they made up a Holy Trinity that only they understood, to keep the people paying.They pass a plate to intimidate people in front of onlookers. Then they did not agree, so they separated time and again.Do you see them translating the Bible and countless books and magazines that people everywhere might learn the truth or do they build a church and wait for the profits?Jesus commanded the preaching be done in all the inhabited Earth at Matthew 28:19,20 the foretold that it would be a sign of the Last Days at Matthew 24:14, Mark 13:10. Does it not make sense that the ones doing the work are closest to God? Jehovah's Witnesses donate for the Watchtower and Awake magazines and the books they offer to people who want to read them.They pay for their own vehicle and gas to drive many miles to reach people in very rural areas. They donate this time in the same spirit Jesus did, while their friends are at the golf course or fishing or watching the game. Millions upon millions of hours are given in the hope that they might catch someone at the right moment to speak about how God's Kingdom will soon change the world we live in. Angels will remove everyone that has not shown any desire to learn about God. This is explained at Matthew 13:37-42. All JW's want to do is give all the opportunity to be the ones left over after Jesus and the angels are through. God views them as shining brightly as His Witnesses in verse 43 One God inspired the Bible and explained Himself through it's many pages. Would He not have One Way that Jesus foretold would do much greater works than he did. God's Love, Equality and Justice is being expressed to the majority of mankind. He has foretold when He shows Himself "you will have to remember a prophet was in your midst" Ezekiel 2:5

Gamaliel, an expert in the Law, stood up and warned his colleagues not to act hastily. He wisely observed: “If this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them.” Then, significantly, Gamaliel added: “Otherwise, you may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”—Acts 5:34, 38, 39.

Thank you for recognising the translation work undertaken by Jehovahs Witnesses. it always astonishes me that so many languages are catered for, worldwide, and that new languages are added seemingly every month. Many supported languages are sign languages. Others are languages spoken by perhaps a few thousand people. These are likely the reason why no mere commercial enterprise can approach the count of languages on jw.org Jehovahs Witnesses have long understood that people respond best to the good news when they can hear it in their mother tongue, Further, translators are usually based in the locale of their target language, so that their translation reflects the current idiom. The effort made, may seem tremendous. However this effort allows even more people of "all nations and tribes and tongues" to understand good news from God, So it is quite exhilarating to see it actually happen. Thank you for noticing!

You indeed deserve commendation for fair rendering of the entire account and I really highly appreciate your well-meaning efforts. This is certainly a clear manifestation of Jehovah God's blessings toward those people who bear His grand, divine Name, who tirelessly undertake the noble command to "preach the good news of God's kingdom for a witness to all the inhabited earth" (Matthew 24:14) and learn about God's holy will for the entire mankind before the final verdict for the whole world's ungodly system has been righteously executed.

This religion has damaged many. My experience growing up in this religion from the 70s was horrendous. As a 12 year old child I was told that Armageddon would be in 1975 and that all my non J.W. family and school friends would die. I lived in fear of being rounded up by the authorities and tortured for my faith. My education suffered as higher education is frowned upon. It affected me my whole life in that I was only able to barely make ends meet only able to get low paid jobs. As a child my association with non-J.W. children was limited to school. I became social phobic as there were no children in my Kingdom Hall to associate with my school friends were turned away at the door. No matter how much you do for this religion it wants more. It eats away at your self confidence. I lost my ability to think for myself being spoon fed information by the religion and told all other information was either untrue or apostate lies. Women have no voice and if you end up in an abusive marriage it is encouraged you stick with your mate because you may convert him eventually by putting up with the abuse. I could go on and on. It is worrying that this religions propaganda is reaching those in poorer countries who already suffer enough. Fortunately the world is becoming more aware of the harmful practices and the J.W's organisation is being investigated at government level in many countries in regards to its horrendous child protection policies. Any J.W's reading this be aware that The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex abuse in UK will be holding a hearing in the UK on the 10th August 2020. It will be televised I suggest you watch it and then ponder on whether you indeed are the "One true religion" above all others.

Poor Linda. You didn't 'have' a Bad Religion, you had a bad Experience. And a good Excuse to leave Jehovah and do your own thing, like Adam and Eve. But IT'S not about you. It's NOT about good religion vs. bad religion. It's about obedience to and acknowledgement of "The Only True God" as the Sovereign over all the Earth. It's not about Perfection. It's about being in the 'Ark', in a safe place, having God's approval. Knowing God. If you had really studied your Bible, you would have APPRECIATED the heads-up warnings from Jesus to "be on the watch"...always "in expectation of the things to come".

Thank you Dee for explaining a "bad Experience" to Linda." My heart goes out to her. I grew up in a very violent, abusive and criminal household. 1 parent a JW, the other not. When I was younger and very inexperienced, I needed to blame someone, something for what happened to me. The easiest was JW's. As a young adult living on my own, I hated God, if there was one, and I especially hated JW's. I eventually got a law degree and worked for Child Advocacy (no surprise there). I had a case that was really haunting me. So I did something I said I would never do again since I left home. I Prayed. I prayed for the children in the case and I prayed that "if" there was a God, He would somehow send me the "Truth" because the world was so ugly I needed to know there was still good out there. I still believed JW's could not possibly have the truth because of my upbringing. However, guess who came to my door the very next morning? Yup, you guessed it, JW's. So I sent them away and prayed again. The next day at work, a co-worker was reading a copy of the Watchtower at lunch. I picked it up when he left it on the table and I never looked back at this old corrupt world again. I forgave the elders in the congregation who could not stop my abuse. My parents lied about what was going on in the home. My mother was eventually disciplined for allowing the criminal behavior in the home. I can not blame an organization for what went on in my home as a child. I see it for what it was now. It was imperfect parenting. My JW parent wanted so badly to believe the marriage could work despite all the violence. That parent didn't have a psychology degree to diagnose what was wrong with my non JW parent. I can't fault my parent for that. They too had been broken from this world. Nothing more, nothing less. I thank Jehovah everyday for dignifying me with free will to make my own choices now. I pray everyday that before I make a choice, that it is in harmony with Bible principles. When we strip everything away from our own imperfect belief systems, start from a clean slate, and allow only what the Bible says is right and wrong, it will always lead us back to the Truth. I had an agenda to hate because of what happened to me as a child. Hopefully, if we pray for Linda, and others like her, in time, they will understand that we are all broken people, even our parents. JW's are a progressive people. True, we came out of a dark time. For a time our understanding of Bible truth was very limited. Some people take their belief systems to an extreme. That is not the fault of a religious institution as a whole. And we should welcome investigations by the authorities of the land. Any well meaning institution would. Investigations are an opportunity to not only improve but to shine....tribulation can lead to endurance.
