The young boy in this picture (age 14) is dead.
And who is to blame? None other than the Watchtower Bible and Tract Association, also known as the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Read the ABC news article here.
This is one of the reasons why reaching the cults is so vitally important. And yet there will still be people (even professing Christians) who will say that you’re not loving if you challenge false teachers and their false doctrines. They’ll even say such ridiculous and Biblically ignorant things like, “Jesus would never challenge their faith.“
If you listen carefully when they say these things you can hear the hiss from their forked tongues.

Faith vs Works (Part 1): The introduction.
I’m in a rather unique position with this blog. I get hit from both sides of the Faith vs Works debate. On the one side are the Catholics, Mormons, and Jehovah’s Witnesses who claim that faith itself is insufficient without man working for his salvation (funny how these three groups tend to have so much in common). On the other side are the cheap-grace, easy-believism, lukewarm crowd who love to label me judgmental and a legalist when I say that there is not only a Biblical mandate for the law, holiness, and good works, but that these will be evident in the life of a true Believer.
Scripture is crystal clear on this issue, that we are indeed saved by faith apart from works and the law. This is commonly known as “alone.” To deny Scripture’s clear teaching on Sola Fide takes an unwillingness to part from former presuppositions and religious indoctrination.
With that said, I thought I’d cite numerous texts that deal directly with our salvation being through faith alone (Part 2); what the Bible says about those who rely on the law and their good works for salvation (Part 3); what place the Law and “good works” play in our faith (Part 4); and my conclusion (Part 5).
I am not posting this five-part series in an attempt to win any arguments or even to create more (although some will be inclined to do so). I will let the Scriptures speak for themselves with minimal commentary on my part. If you have reservations about their context, I encourage you to research each one for yourselves.
If I can win 1,000 arguments but not change one mind, heart, and soul, I have done nothing. I am hoping that with the following posts I can put to rest the issue some may be struggling with when it comes to Faith vs Works. Thank you for your faithful readership and as always, your comments are welcome.

PART ONE
The best thing about this video isn’t the images, it’s the accompanying audio from 1967. Listen as the Watchtower’s circuit overseer Charles Sunutko tells of the fate to befall the world in 1975.
And yet the Jehovah’s Witnesses will sit in my living room and flat out lie to my face. They will deny that the organization ever taught or even emphasized the end of the world in 1975.

One thing that all cults have in common is their teaching that Christ’s sacrifice was insufficient in saving the sinner and that we need to take some part in our salvation by good works or deeds.
The Bible is very clear when it says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast,” (Ephesians 2:8-9). In spite of the clear teaching of the Scriptures, the Jehovah’s Witnesses teach the exact opposite.
The Watchtower Organization says, “To get one’s name written in that Book of Life will depend upon one’s works“ (The Watchtower, July 01, 1947).

One of the last known remaining members of the generation of 1914 that Jehovah’s Witnesses claimed would “not pass away” has died at age 109.
But fear not. As in usual fashion, the Watchtower Organization has changed their stance (a.k.a. “new light”) on what they said previously (a tactic Mormons employ very well themselves). Read more about it by clicking here.
You’ve seen this disfellowshipping caught on tape, now here’s another.
The inevitable result of (purposely) misunderstanding Scripture.
The greatest difficulty with this approach is that no JWs are going to stop and listen. If any of them did they’d they would probably be excommunicated from their “church.”

Chris from A Little Leaven posted this thought-provoking piece on Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Here’s a video clip filmed outside a Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall on their Memorial night. It’s the once a year tradition where Jehovah’s Witnesses meet to take part in communion. However, nobody actually takes the elements because in their belief system, only 144,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses are worthy to do so and they’re all dead.
