This article merely introduces the Christian Witnesses of Jah. In the coming days I will also present good reasons for why and how Christian Witnesses of Jah around the world should meet together in homes in worship of Jah, how we can effectively teach others publicly and privately, defend our faith, and proclaim the good news of Jah and Christ Jesus while praising their names as their Witnesses. My desire, as a Christian Witness of Jah, is to help as many people as may be possible to have faith in Jah and in Jesus but without causing them to feel like they have to depend on any man or woman before they can do what they have good reason to believe is right (James 4:17). All that Christians need are Jah, the Father, Jesus, the Son, and the holy spirit that it sent by both of them (John 14:26; 15:26; 16:7). If we have them, then we will also have each other when we meet, wherever we meet, and however often we may meet.—Matthew 18:20.

In the coming months and henceforth I will present the teachings of Jah and Jesus Christ based on the best available reasons, and I will do my best with Jah’s and Jesus’ help to give others comfort and hope from the Bible, not by adding to the great list of religions and to their traditions, but by taking away from them the things that simply are not important in comparison to things that matter most, the things with the best reasons to believe. I will not try to “figure out” prophecy, or to tell others how to live their lives. Instead I will try to give people reasons to believe, and I will try to teach them how to look to Jah and to Jesus Christ by relying on the power of the holy spirit so that each person may ‘approach with freeness of speech the throne of undeserved kindness’ and ‘obtain mercy and find undeserved kindness for help at the right time’ (Hebrews 4:16). I cannot give that to them. No man can. And no man ever should get in the way of those who want what is God’s gift to give.

If you want to learn more about how to begin or how to continue your relationship with Jah and with Jesus Christ and to discuss with other Christian Witnesses of Jah how we can all work together to strengthen our families, reach out to our communities, 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” (Matthew 28:19), email me ([email protected]), or write to me using the public Chat forum found here: (http://elihubooks.com/contact-us/). I want to work with all those who love Jah and who believe in Jesus Christ. I want to, with Jah’s and Jesus’ help, do my part in helping set their names apart from anything that might take away from the glory and the honor that they both deserve.—Revelation 5:13.

The problem with "spinning off" from the WT Society or seeking to reform it is that it assumes that at one time the Soc. was on the right track, but strayed. Looking back at the condition of the early Bible Students and their teachings, it is hard to see why God would have chosen them over all other religions to be his sole representative on earth. So, you can't get back to something that never was.

Chapter 12 – The Use of Blood

I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I bear witness to the biblical truth that Jehovah is God, that he is just, merciful, loving, and that he allows all of us to choose for ourselves how we will live and act, and whom we will worship. But I do not believe Jehovah clearly prohibits, anywhere in the Bible, the use of blood as blood, such as in modern medical transfusion therapy. But others who bear witness to the biblical truth that Jehovah is God believe it is a sin equivalent to fornication and idolatry to use blood as blood, as in transfusion therapy, which they take be the same thing as using blood for food (as in eating or drinking). Many of these Jehovah’s Witnesses also believe that the four primary components of blood, red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma should also be rejected as if they were blood, though no known medical of scientific textbook defines any of blood’s components as blood itself. Further, there is the question of using one’s own blood, and the changing views with respect to other components or fractions of blood among Jehovah’s Witnesses. All of these issues are discussed, and arguments for both groups of Jehovah’s Witnesses are presented, though I maintain that the strongest biblical, medical, and scientific defense of the use of blood falls strongly in favor of those who leave the use of blood for any medical transfusion therapies up to the conscience of each individual.

Круто.
