Question 5

This is the most significant concept behind being a Jehovah’s Witness. Believing in God is not what makes a Witness unique, as a large portion of people believe in God. Trusting in the Bible is not the key factor to being a Witness, as billions of people believe they follow the Bible. It is belonging to the “Organization” that distinguishes one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and makes them feel solely worthy of salvation.

Answer 5

What is a Jehovah’s witness?

Question 6

Jehovah does not need an organization, nor has he used an organization for most of human history. For 2,500 years, from Genesis until the Israelites, there is no mention of any organization; God dealt directly with individuals. From the death of the Apostles until the 1800’s, Watchtower cannot identify any group as representing God’s organization. Yet the most important concept behind being a Jehovah’s Witness is that you need to follow the Watchtower organization for salvation.

Answer 6

Does Jehovah require an Organization?

Question 7

“Consider,
too,
the fact that Jehovah’s organization alone,
in all the earth,
is directed by God’s holy spirit or active force. (Zech. 4:6)
Only this organization functions for Jehovah’s purpose and to his praise.
To it alone God’s Sacred Word,
the Bible,
is not a sealed book.”

Question 13

“Jehovah’s visible organization can use you,
but can get along without you too.
But you cannot get along without it.
Fruitless ones are eventually pruned off and never missed as new ones are grafted in.
Pruned-off branches soon wither and die,
being cut off from the circulating,
life-giving sap.”
