What does it mean to be BIAS?
Bias - noun; Prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.
synonyms:prejudice · partiality · partisanship · favoritism · unfairness · one-sidedness
Bias can be applied to many instances... religion is definitely one of them. Example: regardless if someone is baptized or not, why wouldn't you give them a blood card? Why does one have to be baptized to get one? They believe the same as you do, are they not important enough? Who made that a rule...Is Jehovah partial? (Leviticus 19:15; Acts 10:34, 35; Ephesians 6:9)
When one is bias they can't see clearly. The only bias anyone should ever have is toward Jehovah God and Christ Jesus. Please learn the scriptures for yourself and stop making it about the church or organization. It's okay to congregate and encourage one another, you should, but don't be foolish. The Holy Scriptures speak to all of us, it's up to you to put in the work and find that message. If you're relying on "mans" understanding of it, you're not relying on Jehovah and Jesus Christ.
I love everyone, it doesn't matter who you are or what you believe in. If you are willing to study the Bible, I am always ready and willing to teach you how. Always rely on Jehovah to guide you.
"From infancy you have known the holy writings."
When you learn how to read and write in Portuguese using the Holy Scriptures, it's a beautiful thing. (Matthew15:13, 14)
Love Jehovah your God and obey what Jesus Christ taught you. (Matthew 22:37-39)

| I made this for one of my students. She was mom-in-law from a previous marriage. She always knew about Jehovah, having a brother who is a JW. She told me how she prayed to Jehovah for help and 2 weeks later, her and I reconnected. She feels Jehovah has definitely blessed her and I agree, we were both blessed. We've been studying the Bible ever since. |

| JEHOVAH is MY EVERYTHING. |
Harassment or injury that is deliberately inflicted on persons because of social status, racial origin, or religious faith and beliefs, the purpose in the latter instance being to stamp out such beliefs and prevent their spread among new converts. The Hebrew verb ra·dhaphʹ and the Greek di·oʹko, which mean “persecute,” can also be rendered “pursue, chase.”—Ex 15:9; De 1:44; Ro 14:19; Lu 17:23.
Whatever happens has already happened, and what is to come has already been; but the true God seeks what has been pursued.

What is False Religion?
How many have left or stopped believing because of false teachings or persecution?
Excerpt...
"A religion is false if it does not teach the truth from the Bible. (2 Corinthians 11:13-15) False religion is like false money—it may look like the real thing, but it is worthless. It can cause you much trouble."

Do you honestly teach everything based off the Bible?
"Expose them for what they are."
Do you persecute those who do?

| The hour is fast approaching. |
I'll be using the following...it's (chapter 15) out of the Bible Teach book, it's an example of what many are teaching, but are ignoring for themselves. PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH...
JEHOVAH is watching.

6 Our worship should be based on the Bible.
True worship is based only on God’s Word, the Bible. It is not based on human ideas, traditions, or anything else.
7 Everything Jesus taught was based on God’s Word. (Read John 17:17.) He often quoted the Scriptures. (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10) True servants of God follow Jesus’ example and base everything they teach on the Bible.
Are you worshipping only Jehovah when you ignore his word, and follow mans word instead?
"In later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired statements."
Is it not misleading "false" to teach something that is not backed by Bible scripture?
Excerpt...
3. (a) Why is it not wrong to expose a false religion?
To make a public exposure of false religion is certainly of more value than exposing a news report as being untrue; it is a public service instead of a religious persecution and it has to do with the eternal life and happiness of the public. Still it leaves the public free to choose.
Aren't false teachings, a part of false religion?
"They will turn away from listening to the truth"
Are you a part of false religion?

8 We should worship only Jehovah.
9 We need to have genuine love for people.
Do you have Genuine love?
Without love, you have nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:2; 1 Timothy 1:5)
Is it genuine when you yell at them and talk down to them and almost make them cry?
Hypocrite (Matthew 23:3; 24:48-51)

10 We use our time, energy, and material things to help and encourage one another. (Hebrews 10:24, 25) We “work what is good toward all.”—Galatians 6:10.
Is it encouraging to hear "because you will only teach Bible scripture and won't teach (a false statement) what is written in the Watchtower, you are no longer considered an unbaptized publisher"?
Is it encouraging to allow someone to continuously put their hand up during meetings, purposely not calling on them and ignoring them, never telling them your intention, until they ask you about it?
Is it encouraging to be told you are not allowed to ask questions?
Is it encouraging to be told you are no longer allowed to be given a "study"?
Is it encouraging to delete them as a friend and tell others (gossip) to do the same?
Is it encouraging to complain about the time you spent listening to them?
Is it not against scripture to tell someone they are not to dig deep into the Bible and only listen to the Governing Body because they put out the spiritual food? (Acts 5:29; Ephesians 5:6)
Is that what the Bible says?
Just how well do you know the Bible?
If you keep saying the "Faithful and Discreet Slave said" instead of "Jehovah God's Word...the Bible" said... is that not your god? (Isaiah 63:10) That is false worship.
Why do you silence someone?
What are you afraid of... the truth?
"Those who are first, will be last."

14 After studying these points, ask yourself: ‘Who base their teachings on the Bible? Who tell others about God’s name? Who show genuine love toward one another and believe that God sent Jesus to save us? Who do not get involved in politics? Who preach that only God’s Kingdom can solve our problems?’ It is only Jehovah’s Witnesses.—Isaiah 43:10-12.
The above statement is FALSE.
Here's the truthful answer to all 5 questions... I know many JW's who will attest to this. They are just sitting quietly and waiting on Jehovah. (Matthew 7:14)
1. All religions have false doctrines that they teach.
2. Their are many who believe in monotheism and tell others about God's name, they are called Unitarians, and most call Him Yahweh...that is God's name.
3.Their are many beautiful people in ALL religions that show love and believe God sent Jesus to save us, and their are many people in ALL religions that do not show love.
4. You may not vote, but can you "honestly" say that secretly you don't favor a side when it comes to politics or that you don't watch politics? Then you're involved.
5. Many people teach about God's Kingdom, like you, with many varying beliefs.

16 For God to accept our worship, we must reject false religion.
17 What is false religion? It is any religion that teaches us to worship God in a way that is against his Word. The Bible calls all false religion “Babylon the Great.”
What do you think would be considered a cause for stumbling?
Perhaps a false teaching?
Wouldn't that make ALL religion, false religion?
One can always enjoy "good" spiritual food anywhere, whether it's at a meeting or somewhere else. When you're not bias, you will see that the Governing Body is not the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" and that you are following them blindly. If you are preaching false teachings and persecuting those who don't, then you are practicing false religion. (Ephesians 4:17-19) Their are many within the JW organization that practice false religion and don't even know that, that is what they are doing. (Ecclesiastes 5:1)
I will not be a part of false religion, I go directly to Jehovah and His word, the Bible. (Hebrews 4:12) I sift the good out of the bad. (1 Corinthians 15:33) I do not judge. (Matthew 7:3, 4) I love all people, respect them and hope they will find their way. (Matthew 7:14) I will always, SOLELY rely on JEHOVAH GOD for the answers that I seek and teach others to do the same, never will I rely on man, nor should you. (Acts 5:29)
Why don't JW's baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit?
I now know why Jehovah kept me from getting baptized, because He wanted it done the right way. (Acts 8:27-31, 35-38)
Where's the scripture that shows you must answer this question in order to get baptized?
#14 Do you believe that the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses is “the faithful and discreet slave” appointed by Jesus?
Do I know Jehovah's mind?
Do you?
ONLY JEHOVAH KNOWS THOSE WHO TRULY BELONG TO HIM, (2 Timothy 2:19) no one should ever be forced to answer that question. Even worse, have it used as blackmail by saying to them "you need to accept it, where else are you going to get baptized? You, who I trust love Jehovah, Jesus Christ and the Bible." Meaning, how else are you going to get baptized, unless you bow down to the organization first. That will never happen, Jehovah has made sure of it.
Who REALLY is the Faithful and Discreet Slave?
If you want to keep believing it's the Governing Body, that is your choice...but please, do not take part of their false teachings or condemn those who don't. (Colossians 2:8; 2 Corinthians 6:14, 17; 1Corinthians 10:21)
You should ONLY be going to Jehovah God...the Holy Scriptures and following the examples given to you by Jesus Christ.
Yehwahʹ Shamʹmah ~ He has called.
Jehovah knows those who belong to Him...
JEHOVAH-JIREH ~ Jehovah always provides.
Hear the word of Jehovah, you who tremble at his word:
“Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of my name said, ‘May Jehovah be glorified!’
But He will appear and bring you joy,
And they are the ones who will be put to shame.”
Who are the workers of lawlessness?
And now you know what is acting as a restraint, so that he will be revealed in his own due time. 7 True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who is right now acting as a restraint is out of the way. 8 Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence.
9 But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders.
10 and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. 11 That is why God lets a deluding influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, 12 in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.
Know the difference, it's up to you...study the Bible. (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1,2)
What does the seven women of Isaiah 4:1 represent?
7 Congregations...
(2) Smyrna (Revelation 2:8-11) - the congregation that would suffer persecution (2:10).
(3) Pergamum (Revelation 2:12-17) - the congregation that needed to repent (2:16).
(4) Thyatira (Revelation 2:18-29) - the congregation that had a false prophetess (2:20).
(5) Sardis (Revelation 3:1-6) - the congregation that had fallen asleep (3:2).
(6) Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7-13) - the congregation that had endured patiently (3:10).
(7) Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22) - the congregation with the lukewarm faith (3:16).
We are all in this together, but it is up to you, the individual, to do the right thing. Pointing the finger at me or anyone else, is not going to do you any good. (1 Cor. 15:33; 5:9, 10; Col. 4:5, 6)
To ALL of the lost sheep in the world, please return to Jehovah, learn from the Bible, take in what is good and discard what is false, love ALL people and judge no one... the end is soon approaching. (Joel 2:28, 29: Daniel 12:4; Revelation 1:3)
For those whom don't know Jehovah... Draw close to Jehovah and He will draw close to You. (James 4:8)
Jehovah is my Father.
~ Peace, Love and Joy ~
