The Watchtower, Nov. 15, 1981, p.21
Jesus says: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

The Bible says: “Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him.”
Revelation 1:7 (see also Matthew 24:27-30)
A Tainted Bible
To help justify the Jehovah’s Witnesses unbiblical teachings, the Watchtower Society began publishing its own version of the bible in 1950. This unique rendering, called The New World Translation, is hailed by Jehovah’s Witnesses as the most accurate translation available today. What Witnesses don’t know is that many key verses in The New World Translation have been altered, mistranslated and deliberately changed to support the Society’s biased teachings. In particular, the identity of Jesus Christ as God has been severely manipulated, in order to reduce Him to a created being, inferior to the Father.
For example, instead of rendering Jesus (the Word) as God in John 1:1, as all accurate bible translations do, The New World Translation renders it: “In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god” (emphasis added). Reducing Jesus to “a god” is a heretical distortion of the Greek text and has been sharply criticized by prominent New Testament Greek scholars. In fact, none of the men on the New World Translation Committee had any working knowledge of the ancient biblical languages. One man on the committee, Frederick Franz, was acclaimed by the Watchtower as having an “outstanding reputation as an eminent Bible scholar”. The Watchtower, August 1, 1977, p.463 However, in a public court trial in Scotland, he admitted that he couldn’t speak Hebrew nor translate a simple verse from the book of Genesis into the ancient language.

A Non-Prophet Organization
The Watchtower Society boldly makes the exclusive claim to be God’s prophet on earth,The Watchtower, April 1, 1972, p.197; All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial, 1990 ed., p.9 the only organization that God uses to communicate to mankind today. The fact is, however, the Watchtower Society has made numerous false predictions regarding the beginning of the battle of Armageddon, the end of the world and the establishment of God’s Kingdom on earth. The end was first predicted in 1914 The Time is at Hand, Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 2, 1907 ed., p.101 by the Watchtower’s founder, C.T. Russell. When it didn’t occur the date was changed to 1915, The Time is at Hand, Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 2, 1927 ed, p.101 and later to 1918 The Finished Mystery, Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 7, 1917, p.485 Under the leadership of the second president, Judge Rutherford, an aggressive campaign called Millions Now Living Will Never Die was launched. In this campaign it was predicted that in 1925, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and many other Old Testament prophets, would rise from the dead and appear as perfected humans on the earth. Millions Now Living Will Never Die, 1920, pp.89,90 After this embarrassing failure the Watchtower carried on, still continuing to set dates for the end. Other prophetic years, ending in disappointment, were 1941, The Watchtower, Sept. 15, 1941, p.288 1975 The Watchtower, March 15, 1980, p.17 and 2000. The Watchtower (original magazine), Jan. 1, 1989, p.12 [Note: bound volume and CD changed the words “20th century” to “day”]
Knowing that exposure of its flawed past would be enough to convince truth-seeking Jehovah’s Witnesses to jump ship, the Watchtower conceals much of this information from its members. In addition, it cleverly trains them to view the more well-known prophetic disasters only as mistakes made by fallible men. However, the bible is clear and very direct on the matter. Deuteronomy 18:20-22 plainly warns us that those who claim to be prophets of God, yet make incorrect predictions, are false prophets that should be avoided. Although the Watchtower continues to make light of the adverse repercussions of its erroneous past, sadly, many loyal Jehovah's Witnesses were so convinced of these prophecies that they sold houses and businesses, putting off marriage, children and schooling to serve the Watchtower Society in the final days before Armageddon.
Winds of Change
Further proof that the Watchtower Society is not God’s channel of communication to man can be demonstrated by reviewing some of the doctrinal changes it has made throughout its history. A Jehovah’s Witness who was in good standing with the organization 70 years ago would be promptly expelled today if he still believed the same doctrines as once taught to him. Even a Witness currently going door-to-door has no assurance that his present beliefs won’t change in the future, making what is being taught as today’s truth, tomorrow’s error. Some changes made over the years are as follows: References for doctrinal changes are available by contacting www.towertotruth.net

Although these changes and reversals are alarming to the average person, to a Jehovah’s Witness this is one of the proofs that the Watchtower Society is God’s visible organization on earth. The Society instructs them that truth is revealed in installments and that the above changes are actually just minor adjustments progressing towards further light. To support this, one will frequently hear a Witness quote Proverbs 4:18: “But the path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established” (NWT). In reality, however, the Watchtower is pulling Proverbs 4:18 completely out of its proper context in order to excuse and explain away over 120 years of contradictions, errors and false teachings.

Do you THINK YOU will go to Heaven? Let's See Shall We?

God has Fixed a day in which He will judge the world in Righteousness. Let's first examine God's Attributes. God is Holy, that means No Sin. He is Perfect, No error or falseness in Him. God is Just and Good, that means he is not corrupt or wrong. God is Full of Wrath and hates Sin. He is Full of Loving Kindness and Mercy and has tremendous Grace. So lets go to your judgement day shall we? First, I want to show you a mirror how God sees you. God's mirror he tells us is his 10 commandments. First, Have you ever told a lie? Yes, What do you call a person if they tell a lie? Liar... Have you ever stolen anything, even small or as a child? Yes, What do you call a person who steals? A Thief. Have you ever tooks God's name in Vain? Yes, Thats called Blasphemy. Very Serious God says he who takes his name in Vain will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain. Have you ever put God first in your Life? No, thats breaking the first commandment. So with your own admission... Your a liar, theif blasphemer idolator at heart. If God should judge you according to the 10 commandments, would you be innocent or guilty? As James 2:10 says, whoever breaks one commandment is guilty of all. So with that said, So as a Guilty Sinner the mirror of the 10 commandments shows your conidition. You are fealthy, dirty full of Sin Sinner and if God is Good and Just he must punish the guilty. Another way to put it is... Say you are standing before a Judge and the verdict is in, you are guilty of the crime and the Judge asks you is there anything you want to say? You say to the judge, I'm sorry of the crimes I committed but, if the Judge is good and not corrupt as the Judge of the World, do you think he would let that guilty man go? No... But their is a fine for the crime. The Bible says all liars and blaphemer's will have there part in the Lake of Fire that is Hell. So, we have a dilemma don't we? So, if God should judge me according to the 10 commandments and I'm guilty of breaking them I would end of going to hell.... Yikes, that concerns me and it should concern you too! But you know what God did so I would not have to go to hell? He came to earth as born from a virgin, live a perfect sinless life, died a HORRIBLE Death on the Cross, and Rose 3 days later to conquer Death. He is ALIVE today and to prove that he has given us his Word (the Bible) and their was over 500 witnesses that seen him after he rose from the dead. Plus 12 apostles died Terrible Sacrifical deaths to testify the Truth of what Jesus had Risen. So, lets go back to the court room. We are guilty of the crime and the judge is about to pass judgement and all of the sudden a man walks into the court room and says I will Pay for the Fine of this man, and he can go free. The Bible says that Jesus Christ on the Cross did that 2000 years ago and conquered death to give us Life. That is the Good News, so we don't have to go to Hell. Have you ever wondered why that "Good News" was called that? But he commands that you Repent from your Sins and Trust in Him Alone. What he did on the Cross was for you. You must Humble yourself and Believe in what Jesus did for you on the Cross Personally. He did for your SINS there at Calvary. What a Amazing God 100 percent Man and 100 percent God as the incarnate God-Man Jesus Christ. May you come to Salvation today. Take that test. Open your Bible up to Exodus chapter 20 and take the 10 commandments test and see how you do. Don't let your Pride get in the way and answer them honestly. We deserve Hell and Judgement from God, but by his AMAZING Mercy and Grace we get to Live on his Clock and his grace, because he has fixed a day that he will judge us according to what we do with this life to glorify HIM ALONE or the time we waste on ourself. Check this out, Nature listens to Him, Stars listen to Him, Oceans listen to him, but Humanity has gone estray and has did there own thing. He commands all men and women to REPENT and put their Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ Alone. It's like this, you are in a airplane, their is a para-shoot and its offered to you and you know the plane is going done. What would you do? Would you just believe in the para-shoot that it's there or would you put it on? You would put it on. Just like the Bible says to put on the Lord Jesus Christ that he Will save you from the crash to come that is death. So you will live!!! Life is only is Jesus Christ. You must Repent, that means 1.) Agree with God you are going the wrong way. 2.) Stop and Apologize to God 3.)Turn Around from your sin and live for God 4.)Go the other way 5.)Not to stop till you get there. Name a food that you love? Now, you know that food is going to kill you cause it is full of poison. Would you eat it anymore? No. The reason you stop is, you know you will die if you eat it. That is repentance. You must repent of the sin in your life and give your life to God. Once you do that the Bible says you will become Born-Again and a new person. God will give you a NEW Heart full of the Holy Spirit and your desires to please HIM will grow. You will grow in righteousness and want to glorify God. Read Galatians 5:22 and the fruits of the spirit if you are growing or not. May you examine yourself and by God's grace give you a New Heart! I pray for you!!!!

3 Men of God's True Glory and Faithfulness


Turkish church requests prayer after three Christians martyred in MalatyaApril 26, 2007
On April 18, five Muslims entered a Christian publishing company and killed three believers in the southeastern province of Malatya. Two of the victims were Turkish converts from Islam and the third man was a German citizen who had lived in Turkey for 10 years. News reports said four of the attackers admitted that the killings were motivated by both “nationalist and religious feelings.”
Below is a letter received by The Voice of the Martyrs from a church in Turkey.
The Voice of the Martyrs has already been actively involved in assisting the families of these courageous Christians. We encourage you to pray for them as they grieve, and to pray that this will be a significant turning point for the gospel in Turkey.
“And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write...
“Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” (Rev. 2: 8-11)
Pray that God will use the testimony of our brothers, who were faithful until death, to build His Kingdom.
A letter to the Global Church from The Protestant Church of Smyrna
This past week has been filled with much sorrow. Many of you have heard by now of our devastating loss here in an event that took place in Malatya, a Turkish province 300 miles northeast of Antioch, the city where believers were first called Christians (Acts 11:26).
On Wednesday morning, April 18, 2007, 46 year old German Christian and father of three Tilmann Geske prepared to go to his office, kissing his wife goodbye and taking a moment to hug his son and give him the priceless memory, “Goodbye, son. I love you.”
Tilmann rented an office space from Zirve Publishing. Zirve was also the location of the Malatya Evangelist Church office. A ministry of the church, Zirve prints and distributes Christian literature to Malatya and nearby cities in Eastern Turkey. In another area of town, 35 year old Pastor Necati Aydin, father of two, said goodbye to his wife, leaving for the office as well. They had a morning Bible Study and prayer meeting that some other believers in town would also be attending. Ugur Yuksel likewise made his way to the Bible study.
None of these three men knew that what awaited them at the Bible study was the ultimate testing and application of their faith, which would conclude with their entrance into glory to receive their crown of righteousness from Christ and honor from all the saints awaiting them in the Lord’s presence.
On the other side of town, ten young men all under 20 years old put into place final arrangements for their ultimate act of faith, living out their love for Allah and hatred of infidels who they felt undermined Islam.
On Resurrection Sunday, five of these men had been to a by-invitation-only evangelistic service that Pastor Necati and his men had arranged at a hotel conference room in the city. The men were known to the believers as “seekers.” No one knows what happened in the hearts of those men as they listened to the gospel. Were they touched by the Holy Spirit? Were they convicted of sin? Did they hear the gospel in their heart of hearts? Today we only have the beginning of their story.
These young men, one of whom is the son of a mayor in the Province of Malatya, are part of a tarikat, or a group of “faithful believers” in Islam. Tarikat membership is highly respected here; it’s like a fraternity membership. In fact, it is said that no one can get into public office without membership in a tarikat. These young men all lived in the same dorm, all preparing for university entrance exams.
The young men got guns, bread knives, ropes and towels ready for their final act of service to Allah. They knew there would be a lot of blood. They arrived in time for the Bible Study, around 10 o’clock.
They arrived, and apparently the Bible Study began. Reportedly, after Necati read a chapter from the Bible the assault began. The boys tied Ugur, Necati, and Tilmann’s hands and feet to chairs and as they videoed their work on their cellphones, they brutally tortured our brothers for almost three hours.
Neighbors in workplaces near the print house said later they had heard yelling, but assumed the owners were having a domestic argument so they did not respond.
Meanwhile, another believer Gokhan and his wife had a leisurely morning. He slept in till 10, ate a long breakfast and finally around 12:30 he and his wife arrived at the office. The door was locked from the inside, and his key would not work. He phoned and though it had connection on his end he did not hear the phone ringing inside. He called cell phones of his brothers and finally Ugur answered his phone. “We are not at the office. Go to the hotel meeting. We are there. We will come there,” he said cryptically. As Ugur spoke Gokhan heard in the telephone’s background weeping and a strange snarling sound.
He phoned the police, and the nearest officer arrived in about five minutes. He pounded on the door, “Police, open up!” Initially the officer thought it was a domestic disturbance. At that point they heard another snarl and a gurgling moan. The police understood that sound as human suffering, prepared the clip in his gun and tried over and over again to burst through the door. One of the frightened assailants unlocked the door for the policeman, who entered to find a grisly scene.
Tilmann and Necati had been slaughtered. Ugur’s throat was likewise slit and he was barely alive.
Three assailants in front of the policeman dropped their weapons.
Meanwhile Gokhan heard a sound of yelling in the street. Someone had fallen from their third story office. Running down, he found a man on the ground, whom he later recognized, named Emre Gunaydin. He had massive head trauma and, strangely, was snarling. He had tried to climb down the drainpipe to escape, and losing his balance had plummeted to the ground. It seems that he was the main leader of the attackers. Another assailant was found hiding on a lower balcony.
To untangle the web we need to back up six years. In April 2001, the National Security Council of Turkey (Milli Guvenlik Kurulu) began to consider evangelical Christians as a threat to national security, on equal footing as Al Quaida and PKK terrorism. Statements made in the press by political leaders, columnists and commentators have fueled a hatred against ‘missionaries’ who they claim bribe young people to change their religion.
After that decision in 2001, attacks and threats on churches, pastors and Christians began. Bombings, physical attacks, verbal and written abuse are only some of the ways Christians are being targetted. Most significant is the use of media propaganda.
From December 2005, after having a long meeting regarding the Christian threat, the wife of Former Prime Minister Ecevit, historian Ilber Ortayli, Professor Hasan Unsal, Politician Ahmet Tan and writer/propogandist Aytunc Altindal, each in their own profession began a campaign to bring the public’s attention to the looming threat of Christians who sought to “buy their children’s souls”. Hidden cameras in churches have taken church service footage and used it sensationally to promote fear and antagonism toward Christianity.
In an official televised response from Ankara, the Interior Minister of Turkey smirked as he spoke of the attacks on our brothers in Malatya. Amid public outrage and protests against the event and in favor of freedom of religion and freedom of thought, media and official comments ring with the same message, “We hope you have learned your lesson. We do not want Christians here.”
It appears that this was an organized attack initiated by an unknown adult tarikat leader. As in the Hrant Dink murder in January 2007, and a Catholic priest Andrea Santoro in February 2006, minors are being used to commit religious murders because public sympathy for youth is strong and they face lower penalties than an adult convicted of the same crime. Even the parents of these children are in favor of the acts. The mother of the 16 year old boy who killed the Catholic priest Andrea Santoro looked at the cameras as her son was going to prison and said, “he will serve time for Allah.”
The young men involved in the killing are currently in custody. Today news reported that they would be tried as terrorists, so their age would not affect the strict penalty. Assailant Emre Gunaydin is still in intensive care. The investigation centers around him and his contacts and they say the case will fall apart if he does not recover.
The Church in Turkey responded in a way that honored God as dozens of believers and pastors flew in as fast as they could to stand by the small church of Malatya and encourage the believers, take care of legal issues, and represent Christians to the media.
When Susanne expressed her wish to bury her husband in Malatya there were many complications. However, in the end Tilmann was buried in an old Armenian graveyard on April 20th.
Ugur was buried by his family in an Alevi Muslim ceremony in his hometown of Elazig, his believing fiance watching from the shadows as his family and friends refused to accept in death the faith Ugur had so long professed and died for.
Necati’s funeral took place in his hometown of Izmir, the city where he came to faith. The darkness does not understand the light. Though the churches expressed their forgiveness for the event, Christians were not to be trusted. Before they would load the coffin onto the plane from Malatya, it went through two separate xray exams to make sure it was not loaded with explosives. This is not a usual procedure for Muslim coffins.
Necati’s funeral was a beautiful event. Like a glimpse of heaven, hundreds of Turkish Christians and workers came to show their love for Christ, and their honor for this man chosen to die for Christ. Necati’s wife Shemsa told the world, “His death was full of meaning, because he died for Christ and he lived for Christ… Necati was a gift from God. I feel honored that he was in my life, I feel crowned with honor. I want to be worthy of that honor.”
Boldly the believers took their stand at Necati’s funeral, facing the risks of being seen publicly and likewise becoming targets. As expected, the anti-terror police attended and videotaped everyone attending the funeral for their future use. The service took place outside at Buca Baptist church, and he was buried in a small Christian graveyard in the outskirts of Izmir.
Two assistant Governors of Izmir were there solemnly watching the event from the front row. Dozens of news agencies were there documenting the events with live news and photographs. Who knows the impact the funeral had on those watching? This is the beginning of their story as well. Pray for them.
In an act that hit front pages in the largest newspapers in Turkey, Susanne Geske in a television interview expressed her forgiveness. She did not want revenge, she told reporters. “Oh God, forgive them for they know not what they do,” she said, wholeheartedly agreeing with the words of Christ on Calvary (Luke 23:34).
In a country where blood-for-blood revenge is as normal as breathing, many many reports have come to the attention of the church of how this comment of Susanne Geske has changed lives. One columnist wrote of her comment, “She said in one sentence what 1000 missionaries in 1000 years could never do.”
Many foreigners in Malatya will most likely move out, as their families and children have become publicly identified as targets to the hostile city. The remaining 10 believers are in hiding. What will happen to this church, this light in the darkness? Most likely it will go underground. Pray for wisdom, that Turkish brothers from other cities will go to lead the leaderless church. Should we not be concerned for that great city of Malatya, a city that does not know what it is doing? (Jonah 4:11)
When our Pastor Fikret Bocek went with a brother to give a statement to the Security Directorate on Monday they were ushered into the Anti-Terror Department. On the wall was a huge chart covering the whole wall listing all the terrorist cells in Izmir, categorized. In one prominent column were listed all the evangelical churches in Izmir. The darkness does not understand the light. “These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also.” (Acts 17:6)
Please pray for the Church in Turkey. “Don’t pray against persecution, pray for perseverence,” urges Pastor Fikret Bocek.
The Church is better having lost our brothers; the fruit in our lives, the renewed faith, the burning desire to spread the gospel to quench more darkness in Malatya …all these are not to be regretted. Pray that we stand strong against external opposition and especially pray that we stand strong against internal struggles with sin, our true debilitating weakness.
This we know. Christ Jesus was there when our brothers were giving their lives for Him. He was there, like He was when Stephen was being stoned in the sight of Saul of Tarsus.
Someday the video of the deaths of our brothers may reveal more to us about the strength that we know Christ gave them to endure their last cross, about the peace the Spirit of God endowed them with to suffer for their beloved Savior. But we know He did not leave their side. We know their minds were full of Scripture strengthening them to endure, as darkness tried to subdue the unsubduable Light of the Gospel. We know, in whatever way they were able, with a look or a word, they encouraged one another to stand strong. We know they knew they would soon be with Christ.
We don’t know the details. We don’t know the kind of justice that will or will not be served on this earth.
But we pray-- and urge you to pray-- that someday at least one of those five boys will come to faith because of the testimony in death of Tilmann Geske, who gave his life as a foreign Christian in Turkey, and the testimonies in death of Necati Aydin and Ugur Yuksel, the first martyrs for Christ out of the Turkish Church.
*********************************************************************************
Tilman was stabbed 156 times, Necati 99 times and Ugur's stabs were too numerous to count. They were disemboweled, and their intestines sliced up in front of their eyes. They were emasculated and watched as those body parts were destroyed. Fingers were chopped off, their noses and mouths and anuses were sliced open. Possibly the worst part was watching as their brothers were likewise tortured. Finally, their throats were sliced from ear to ear, heads practically decapitated. ***********************************************************

NEW IDENTITY

Check this out… Read 1 Samuel 18: 1-9 it is the story about Jonathan and David. How did Old Testament people identify themselves as in a covenant? Their ROBES identified themselves. Look what great picture this is with the Old Testament then the New Testament and then Us (Born-Again Christians) with our Personal Savior Jesus Christ. Check this out… Jonathan made a covenant with David. Then Jesus Christ made his covenant with humanity. “Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself (different role = identity) taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. (Philippians 2:5-7 NASB) Then we have us as a New Covenant with Christ. It’s a picture of how we identify our self with God now. Let me challenge you…. Have you ever had a NEW IDENTITY? Have you had a changed heart sent down from Heaven by God Hand? If you haven’t stare at the Feet of Messiah on the Cross and picture God’s Wrath poured out on Jesus Christ for your personal Sin! The Sin that if you have never repented and Put your faith in Jesus Christ, that Sin will receive payment with the Judge when you die. So I beg you to get right with the Lord Today. Today is the day of Salvation! Focus on the Cross-! God Bless!
