Jesu

li Jehovini svjedoci kult?​

​

ISUS KRIST je bio optužen da je pijanica, izjelica, da ne drži sabat, da je lažni svjedok, bogohulnik i Sotonin glasnik. Također je bio optužen da je prevratnik (Matej 9:34; 11:19; 12:24; 26:65; Ivan 8:13; 9:16; 19:12).
Nakon Isusove smrti i uskrsnuća, njegovi su učenici također postali metom ozbiljnih optužbi. Ljudi su dovukli jednu grupu kršćana iz prvog stoljeća pred gradske upravitelje i izvikivali: ’Ovi su ljudi uzbunili sav svijet‘ (Djela apostolska 17:6, Stvarnost). Jednom su drugom prilikom apostol Pavao i njegov pratilac Sila dovedeni pred vlasti i optuženi da u velikoj mjeri uznemiruju grad Filipe (Djela apostolska 16:20).
Pavao je kasnije optužen da je ”kuga, da izaziva prepirke među Židovima po svem svijetu“ i da pokušava ”hram oskvrnuti“ (Djela apostolska 24:5, 6, St). Glavari Židova u Rimu točno su opisali situaciju Isusovih sljedbenika kad su priznali: ”Jer nam je za ovu sljedbu jedino poznato da joj se svuda protive“ (Djela apostolska 28:22, St).
Očito su neki ovu novu grupu koju je osnovao Isus Krist smatrali nekom religioznom grupom s radikalnim gledištima i postupcima koja je u sukobu s onim što je u to vrijeme bilo prihvaćeno kao normalno društveno ponašanje. Nesumnjivo bi i danas mnogi smatrali kršćane štetnim kultom. Optužitelji su često bili istaknuti i štovani članovi društva i izgleda da je to još i pridodalo težinu tvrdnjama. Mnogi su vjerovali optužbama protiv Isusa i njegovih učenika. No, kao što vjerojatno znaš, svaka od tih optužbi bila je kriva! Činjenica da su ljudi govorili takve stvari nije te optužbe učinila istinitima.
A kako je danas? Da li bi bilo ispravno smatrati Jehovine svjedoke religioznom grupom s radikalnim gledištima i postupcima koji su u sukobu s onim što je prihvaćeno kao normalno društveno ponašanje? Jesu li Jehovini svjedoci kult?​

Što​

​

pokazuju činjenice​

​

Službenik uprave grada St. Petersburga (Rusija) objasnio je: ”Jehovini svjedoci bili su nam prikazani kao neka tajna sekta čiji članovi zasjedaju u mraku te kolju djecu i ubijaju se.“ Međutim, ljudi u Rusiji nedavno su bolje upoznali pravu narav Svjedoka. Nakon što je surađivao s Jehovinim svjedocima povodom međunarodnog kongresa, isti je službenik izjavio: ”Sada vidim normalne, nasmijane ljude, koji su čak i bolji od mnogih ljudi koje poznam. Mirni su i miroljubivi, i međusobno se jako vole.“ Dodao je: ”Zaista ne razumijem zašto ljudi o njima govore takve laži.“
Jehovini svjedoci ne održavaju ritualne sastanke, niti je njihovo obožavanje obavijeno tajnošću. Spisateljica Julia Mitchell Corbett, koja nije Svjedok, primjećuje: ”Kad se sastaju, obično više puta tjedno, u Kraljevskim dvoranama (svoja sastajališta ne zovu crkvama), većinu svog vremena provode proučavajući Bibliju i raspravljajući o njoj.“ Njihova su sastajališta jasno označena natpisom. Sastanci su otvoreni i javnost je pozvana da im prisustvuje. Nenajavljeni gosti više su nego dobrodošli.
”Svjedoci su stekli glas da su pošteni, uljudni i marljivi“, dodaje Corbettova u svojoj knjizi Religion in America.(Izvor navedenih informacija) Mnogi koji nisu Svjedoci spremno potvrđuju da kod Jehovinih svjedoka nema ništa čudnovatog ili neobičnog. Njihovo vladanje nije u sukobu s onim što se prihvaća kao normalno društveno ponašanje. The New Encyclopædia Britannica (Izvor navedenih informacija) ispravno pokazuje da Svjedoci ”inzistiraju na visokom moralnom kodeksu osobnog ponašanja“.
Direktor informativnog programa jedne televizijske stanice u Sjedinjenim Državama(Izvor navedenih informacija) pisao je Jehovinim svjedocima, reagirajući na pristrani izvještaj o Svjedocima u televizijskoj informativnoj emisiji 60 Minutes. Pisao je: ”Kad bi više ljudi živjelo kao vaša vjera, ova nacija ne bi bila u stanju u kakvom jest. Ja sam novinar koji zna da se vaša organizacija temelji na ljubavi i na jakoj vjeri u Stvoritelja. Želim da znate kako nisu svi novinari pristrani.“​

Izgleda da ne jedemo živu decu, ili bar tako kažu ljudi koji nas dobro poznaju!​

I ovo su tvoje reči.

Ja sam tebe i tvoje istomišljenike u zadnje vreme dobro upoznao.

Jehovini svedoci priznati i u Srbiji

26. februar 2010. | 16:55 | Izvor: Beta

U saradnji sa FTN i firmom AlfaNum ​

BEOGRAD - Ministarstvo vera Srbije usvojilo je zahtev Jehovinih svedoka da se ta organizacija upiše u Registar crkava i verskih zajednica, saopšteno je danas iz te zajednice.


"To znači da su Jehovini svedoci sada zvanično priznati kao verska zajednica u svim zemljama u okruženju, kao i u svim zemljama EU.
Srbija, takođe, nastoji da postane članica EU. Odlukom da upiše Jehovine svedoke u Registar crkava i verskih zajednica, Ministarstvo vera potvrđuje višedecenijsko postojanje i aktivnost Jehovinih svedoka u Srbiji", navodi se u saopštenju.
U saopštenju se navodi da je registracija Jehovinih svedoka stupila na snagu 8. februara.
Podsećamo, ruski Vrhovni sud podržao je pre dva meseca presudu nižestepenog suda o zabrani aktivnosti regionalnog ogranka Jehovinih svedoka i nekoliko desetina njihovih izdanja.

Evo ti takođe i link na koji možeš da se lično informišeš i saznaš malo više o tome:

ECHR exonerates Moscow Community of Jehovah’s Witnesses

STRASBOURG—On Thursday, June 10, 2010, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) moved further to protect religious freedom in Russia. The seven judges were unanimous in declaring the liquidation and ban on the activities of the Moscow Community of Jehovah’s Witnesses as unlawful and in violation of the fundamental human rights of freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
In rejecting all the government’s allegations, the judges emphasized that today’s ruling is binding upon Russia and that Russia should take steps to “put an end to the violation found by the Court and to redress so far as possible the effects.”
The Moscow ban was based on an evaluation of religious belief and was used to justify a harassment campaign with the stated aim to extend the Moscow ban throughout Russia. Jehovah’s Witnesses are experiencing an increase in incidents of harassment and ill-treatment at the hands of individuals and government authorities: arson attacks on places of worship, arrests, unlawful searches, assaults, confiscation of literature, and restrictions against renting and building meeting places. This latest ECHR judgment encourages Russia to protect religious freedom and to reverse the liquidation of the legal entity of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Moscow.
One reason for the application to the ECHR was the excessive length of the dissolution proceedings. On June 20, 1996, a local prosecutor’s office in Moscow began the first of four criminal investigations against Jehovah’s Witnesses. Almost two years later, on April 13, 1998, the last of the investigations was closed, after it was established that there were no grounds for any criminal case. Only one week later, however, the Northern Administrative Circuit Prosecutor filed a civil lawsuit against Jehovah’s Witnesses. After receiving the results of an expert study, the court dismissed the case on February 23, 2001, ruling that there was no basis for the charges. The beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses, not their activity, was the theme of the retrial. Despite the absence of any facts to support the charges, on March 26, 2004, the court liquidated the legal entity of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Moscow and banned its activity.
Speaking of the importance of today’s decision, Ivan Chaykovskiy, Chairman of the liquidated Moscow Community of Jehovah’s Witnesses said: “This judgment is a victory of common sense over religious intolerance. I hope that as a result of this judgment, the authorities will quickly restore our legal rights and end the nationwide state-sponsored campaign of harassment against Jehovah’s Witnesses.”

Dokaz da ništa ne može da spreči propovedanje dobre vesti o Božjem Kraljevstvu iza koga stoji direktno Jehova Bog, jeste i ova nedavno donešena odluka Evropskog suda za ljudska prava u kojoj se osuđuje odluka moskovskog suda!

Nema prepreke niti postoji oružje ili bilo kakva sila u svemiru koja će da stane na put Jehovi i njegovom narodu koji sprovodi lično Jehovinu volju-propovedanje dobre vesti o Božjem Kraljevstvu.

U Isaiji 54:17 čitamo:"Nikakvo oružje protiv tebe načinjeno neće biti uspješno i zlim ćeš proglasiti svaki jezik koji se na sudu podigne na tebe. To je nasljedstvo slugu Jehovinih i od mene je pravednost njihova”, kaže Jehova."

Tokom istorije od početka stvaranja pa do danas Jehova stoji iza svog naroda i to je vidljivo svima koji žele da vide!

Lep primer dvoličnosti organizacije jehovinih svedoka(neću više da pišem velikim slovom ).

Na jednoj strani traže od država da ih priznaju (zbog poreza)

A na drugoj strani podučavaju svoje članove da ne priznaju vlast jer oni "nisu od ovog sveta"

*** w84 10/1 pp. 9-14 Why We Must Be No Part of This World ***

Why We Must Be No Part of This World​

“They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.”—JOHN 17:16.
JESUS CHRIST was rejected, hated and even persecuted by this world. So what could his followers expect? Well, he told them: “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you. Bear in mind the word I said to you, A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they have observed my word, they will observe yours also.”—John 15:18-20.
2 Yes, Jesus’ true followers differ greatly from this world—sinful human society alienated from God. So much is this the case that Christ’s disciples are hated and persecuted by this world. But in being unworldly, Jesus’ followers are adhering to his superlative example, and Jehovah God watches over them in keeping with Christ’s prayer: “I request you, not to take them out of the world, but to watch over them because of the wicked one. They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth.”—John 17:15-17.
3 What does it mean to be “no part of the world”? Does it indicate that Jesus’ followers must avoid all contact with non-Christians?

Christians Cannot Be Isolationists​

4 Surely, Jesus did not expect his followers to isolate themselves in exclusive religious communities. Rather, he gave them a globe-encircling work to do, saying: “You will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) He also commanded them: “Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” (Matthew 28:19, 20) Of course, while “people of all the nations” would thus become disciples, it was not to be expected that entire nations themselves would accept the teachings of Jesus Christ.
5 But some may remark: ‘Have not entire nations been converted to Christianity? And do they not make up what is known as Christendom?’ Well, certain rulers have determined the religion of their subjects and have not been hesitant about enforcing that determination by cruel and barbarous methods. Moreover, fear of torture in a mythical hellfire has been a potent factor in so-called conversions to nominal Christianity. (Compare Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10.) But how far all of this is from the only Scripturally authorized way of spreading the true Christian faith! That noble activity is to be carried on by active witnessing, teaching and disciple making. Hermits or cloistered monks and nuns could never accomplish that work or follow Christ’s command to ‘let their light shine before men.’ (Matthew 5:14-16) And forced “conversions” have nothing in common with the witnessing, preaching and teaching that help honest-hearted people of all nations to make an intelligent heartfelt dedication to Jehovah God.

Why “No Part of the World”​

6 The name “Christian” has often proved to be a false label. What acts of greed, conquest, slaughter in war and oppression of the masses are chargeable to so-called Christian people and nations! But how different it is with Christ’s true followers! “By this all will know that you are my disciples,” said Jesus, “if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) There are, indeed, people who match that description today—Jehovah’s Witnesses. Love among them means no ruthless competition, no provocation, no taking of selfish advantage of one another. Rather, it means speaking in agreement, having no divisions, being ‘united in the same mind and line of thought.’ (1 Corinthians 1:10; 13:4-8) Jehovah’s Witnesses have learned the thinking of God and Christ and are guided by it. (Romans 12:1, 2; 1 Corinthians 2:16) A very important part of that thinking is that Christians must be “no part of the world.”—Compare James 1:27.
7 There are very good reasons for Jesus’ followers to be ‘no part of this world.’ For some 4,000 years, the vast majority of mankind has ‘had no hope and has been without God in the world.’ (Ephesians 2:12) But the long period of alienation from Jehovah due to human sin will not go on indefinitely. Nineteen centuries ago the apostle Paul said that God was “telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent,” for ‘He had set a day in which he purposed to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he had appointed,’ Jesus Christ. Paul added that God “has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected [Jesus] from the dead.” (Acts 17:30, 31) This “day” of his Millennial Rule is very near. The wicked world must go. It will be judged, condemned and eradicated forever. How inappropriate, then, for professing Christians to be part of this world!
8 More than 1,900 years have passed since Jesus’ resurrection, and without question the execution of divine judgment upon apostate Christendom and the rest of Satan’s world is imminent. (2 Peter 3:10; 1 John 5:19) Meanwhile, Jehovah’s Witnesses are proclaiming God’s message earth wide and “seasons of refreshing” are being enjoyed by repentant, appreciative ones of humankind. (Acts 3:19-21) In keeping with Jesus’ prophetic words for our day, more than 2,650,000 witnesses of Jehovah are now preaching “this good news of the kingdom” in 205 lands. When that work has resulted in “a witness to all the nations” to the extent that God wills, “the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14) Surely, then, with the end of this wicked system so close at hand, there is every reason for Jehovah’s people to be “no part of the world.”
9 Since Satan’s world is about to end, how vital it is to make sure that we really are seeking God’s Kingdom first! (Matthew 6:33) Whatever may be our age, education or station in life, “we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.” (Romans 14:10) So have we put Kingdom requirements into practice in our lives? Or are we still actually striving to be in harmony with this world that hates true Christians? Do we have worldly ambitions and hopes? Are we imitating the world’s unscriptural fads? And are we admiring its idols? Remember that “friendship with the world is enmity with God.” (James 4:4) Therefore, to prevent our becoming God’s enemy, how can we avoid worldly contamination? What are some of the things in the world that we must shun?

Shun Love of the World​

10 The apostle John wrote: “Do not be loving either the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; because everything in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world.” (1 John 2:15, 16) Here John cited three basic things in this world that Jehovah’s people must not love.
11 “The desire of the flesh” could lead us into many hurtful and death-dealing practices so common in this wicked world under Satan’s control. Among these are “works” of the sinful flesh—“fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct, idolatry, practice of spiritism, enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, contentions, divisions, sects, envies, drunken bouts, revelries, and things like these.” We just cannot with impunity ignore the apostle Paul’s warning “that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s kingdom.” (Galatians 5:19-21) Indeed, those unrepentantly practicing “the works of the flesh” are part of this world and will have no share in the promised Kingdom that will vindicate Jehovah’s name and transform the earth into a paradise. (Luke 23:43) Clearly, then, Christians must not succumb to “the desire of the flesh.”
12 “The desire of the eyes” is another characteristic of those who are part of this world. As they accumulate wealth and possessions, they never seem to be satisfied. Why, even many who have paid some attention to Bible truth that is spread by Jehovah’s Witnesses eventually yield to “the desire of the eyes” and, hence, make no spiritual progress. Their desire for new clothes, cars, houses, appliances and many other things that please the eye becomes so strong that, as Jesus said, “the deceptive power of riches and the desires for the rest of the things make inroads and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” (Mark 4:18, 19) Interestingly, Satan tempted Eve by causing her to desire something forbidden that she could see with her eyes. However, he was totally unsuccessful in his efforts to induce Jesus to sin by reaching out for things seen with the eyes. (Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:5-8) But what about you? Are you following Jesus’ sterling example? Or has satisfying “the desire of the eyes” so absorbed your time, attention and energy that Kingdom interests are being neglected? If spiritual concerns are receding into the background, act quickly to remedy that situation!
13 The greedy “desire of the eyes” can lead to dishonesty, envy, covetousness and other sins meriting God’s disapproval. As Paul said, “greedy persons” are among those who will not “inherit God’s kingdom.” (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10) Appropriately, too, wise proverbs warn: “A man of faithful acts will get many blessings, but he that is hastening to gain riches will not remain innocent. A man of envious eye is bestirring himself after valuable things, but he does not know that want itself will come upon him.” (Proverbs 28:20, 22) Even if poverty does not immediately come upon certain greedy, envious individuals, they either will die outside God’s favor or will come to a sad end at the conclusion of this system of things.—Matthew 24:3; Luke 12:13-21.
14 “The showy display of one’s means of life” must also be avoided by Jehovah’s servants. How tempting it can be to show off costly acquisitions! Such wrong desire often leads not only to trying to keep up with others but also to striving to get far ahead of them materially. Akin to this is boasting about what a person thinks he has achieved. Hoping to attain position or status, he may even cultivate the friendship and support of prominent individuals. But those allowing themselves to be used in this way are foolish, and the inordinately ambitious person may eventually become like the “ungodly men” of Jude’s day whose ‘mouths spoke swelling things while they were admiring personalities for their own benefit.’ (Jude 4, 16) At the root of all this status-seeking and showy display is sinful pride. (Proverbs 8:13; 16:18; 21:4) Surely, then, we must resist the temptation to flaunt our acquisitions and supposed attainments. Apropos here is the proverb: “The eating of too much honey is not good; and for people to search out their own glory, is it glory?” (Proverbs 25:27) And since most humans are walking on the broad way leading to destruction, how timely are Jesus’ words, “Woe, whenever all men speak well of you”!—Luke 6:26.

“The World Is Passing Away”​

15 John furnishes us with a fundamental reason to be “no part of the world” when he adds: “Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.” (1 John 2:17) “The world,” unrighteous human society, is nearing its end in the fast-approaching “great tribulation.” (Matthew 24:21) During that period of time every vestige of this world’s political, commercial and false religious elements will be destroyed. So how could any true witnesses of Jehovah devote all their time, energy and resources to these elements that shortly will come to nothing? Rather, loyal Christians will direct their main efforts toward the furthering of Kingdom interests and the things that are lasting, eternal. Moreover, through such loyalty and faith Jehovah’s people will ‘conquer the world’ of unrighteous human society, even as Jesus Christ did. (John 16:33) Yes, and they will survive when this world passes away by divine destruction, just as Noah and his family survived the Flood.—2 Peter 2:5.
16 Since this world is passing away, then, how should Christians view involvement in its social affairs? What attitude should they have toward education, business dealings and recreation? Questions such as these remain for our careful consideration.

If we are “no part of the world,” we will neither succumb to the desires of the flesh and the eyes nor make a showy display of our means of life
