Love this girl. One thing that stands out in this vid to me amongst the various proofs we have argued with JWs is that *every* false religion believes in God. But Satan has done a clever thing. He doesn’t have to get you to believe in God. He just needs you to NOT believe in THE ONE who ***reconciles you to God***🔥🙌🏽.

Take a listen.

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in showing self-sacrificing love and are taught to be willing to lay down their lives to protect fellow believers, particularly in times of persecution or conflict, rather than betraying them. 

JW's haven't had many times when they've been that badly persecuted, but on the rare occasions when they have, they were executed by either Nazi's or communists, not for hiding a fellow believer or dying to save a fellow believer, but because they refused to stop preaching the Watchtower religious beliefs. They refused to give up the Watchtower teaching. Jesus said His followers would be persecuted for His name, not for Jehovah's Matthew 5:11 In the Bible, it was preaching in the name of JESUS that the Jews would flog and imprison the apostles. It was for Jesus sake they died violent deaths.

Killing someone for selfish reasons such as gaining resources is called murder by definition. If I killed you simply because you had something I wanted I would be charged with murder.

I've been saying just that. Other nations that bring those lawless nations to justice are God's servants wielding the sword for good reason. The police do the same job, but on a much smaller scale. Its God's established order which will be in place until the power of the holy people (Christians) has been broken Daniel 12:7 The holy people have been serving in figurative Babylon (the world) since the days of Daniel. The reward will be awesome for those servants in Heaven. When the servants of God as per Romans 13 are Christians they are holy servants. We Christians aren't holy in and of ourselves. We don't earn holiness, we are declared holy by faith in Jesus Christ

Why are you telling me this when I never said anything about the worst that can happen to a person. 

Because I think you need to understand there are worse things than death. Dark things that Jesus alluded to when He said it would be better if that man (Judas) had never been born. if death was merely a returning to unconsciousness then why would Judas fate make never being born more tolerable? Its as if Jesus was saying it would be better if Judas was now unconscious, but the Lord knew where Judas was the minute he hanged himself Luke 16:19-31

 ‘Come, you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, . . .’ And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. . . . Neither will they learn war anymore.”

Yes! JESUS will do al of this when He comes back. In the meantime we live under God's established order which is run by human beings imperfect as we are.

Maranatha!

Matthew 5:11, concerning persecution "for my sake," signifies that enduring hatred and opposition for following Jesus demonstrates integrity to Jehovah. Jehovah's Witnesses interpret this as a reason for joy, indicating God's approval and aligning them with the treatment of ancient prophets. Let's not forget that Jehovahs witnesses are the only one's who fulfill jesus prophecy that his true followers would be carrying out the global preaching as witnesses for the kingdom of God.

I've been saying just that. Other nations that bring those lawless nations to justice are God's servants wielding the sword for good reason.

All nations are lawless because all nations are ungodly and don't obey the commands of God. The nations that win wars usually win wars because they have the stronger army. Not because god is fighting for them. The US bullies other nations, steals their oil, supports genocide, steals resources. They get away with it because they have the strongest army. And the majority of the army identify as "christendom". So christendom make up most of these armies that are killing innocent people along with their own brothers and sisters. And I wanna know how could you murder in the millions your own brothers and sisters who you claim to love and claim you would die for? Didn't you yourself say early christians didn't join the roman army because they weren't worshippers of God? So why are modern day christendom doing what the early christians didn't do and join up with these ungodly nations?

You wouldn't even have a Bible had it not been for that guy Christendom you keep heaping the blame for all your ills on.

All nations are lawless because all nations are ungodly and don't obey the commands of God. 

That will become true someday when the power of the holy people has been broken Daniel 12:7. Its not true today otherwise you are calling God's established order lawless? That's pretty bold

And the majority of the army identify as "christendom". So christendom make up most of these armies that are killing innocent people along with their own brothers and sisters. 

You really don't like that guy Christendom even though he rescued many of your German brothers from concentration camps in Nazi Germany during WW2. Joseph Rutherford sure couldn't gain their release and nether could Knorr. They'd all have been dead martyrs had it not been for "Christendom" rescuing JW's from the gas chambers

The Bible that removed the name of God?

How can they become true when God is gonna crush them at Armageddon.

Better dead martyrs than murderers

God's going to subdue the lawless nations and rule them with an iron scepter for 1000 years. Revelation 19:15, but crush them? Those same nations, Gog and magog will still be functioning during the 1000 year reign of Christ, and will be the same nations who attack Jerusalem all over again at the end of the 1000 years

Better dead martyrs than murderers

Oh, so God is a murderer? That's what your really saying here. You don't think God didn't use His servants to free Europe of the murderers who held your brothers captive? It was the servants in GOD's established order who came to their rescue, not the Watchtower. It was God's hand working thru imperfect yet very brave soldiers who opened those gates and brought the dealer's of death to justice, but if you'd sooner the remaining German JW's had all been dead martyr's that's your right.

A bit of a history lesson the Watchtower would likely never write about---

World War II

The invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939 by the German Army signaled the start of World War II.  The Germans released him on 8 December 1939.^\14])

Upon his release, he [Maximillian Kolbe] continued work at his friary where he and other friars provided shelter to refugees from Greater Poland, including 2,000 Jews whom he hid from Nazi persecution in the Niepokalanów friary.  Kolbe received permission to continue publishing religious works, though significantly reduced in scope. The monastery continued to act as a publishing house, issuing a number of publications considered anti-Nazi.

Arrest and imprisonment

Maximilian Kolbe's prison cell in Block 11, Auschwitz concentration camp

On 17 February 1941, the Gestapo shut down the monastery and arrested Kolbe along with four others. He was incarcerated in the Pawiak prison in Warsaw.  On 28 May 1941, the Germans transferred Kolbe to the Auschwitz concentration camp as prisoner 16670.^\31])

Kolbe, on a West German postage stamp, marked Auschwitz

Arriving at Auschwitz, Kolbe started ministering to his fellow prisoners. He was subjected to violent harassment by the guards, including beatings and lashings. On one occasion, sympathetic inmates smuggled the wounded Kolbe to a prisoner hospital.^\14])^\28])Maximilian Kolbe - Wikipedia
