To Whom Shall Jehovah's Witnesses Go?

JWs honestly believe they have a monopoly on God's truth!

By Nab B.

Most Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there is no place to go if one leaves the organization! But this is where most of them get it wrong! Do Christians seek to go to a place or to a person? I will let the words of Simon Peter to Jesus answer this:

“Lord, to WHOM shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” (John 6:68)

It’s to Christ Jesus we must go, not an organization! Simply calling something ‘God’s organization’ does not make it God-ordained! Any institution that circumvents Jesus’ lordship, in any shape or form, will come under God’s adverse judgment now and after!

Yet most JWs think that anyone leaving their organization has essentially left the truth! What TRUTH is that? The Corinthians had the same arrogant attitude, claiming exclusivity to God’s truth and feeling superior. Paul had to rebuke them saying,

“Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?” (1 Cor 14:36).

NO ONE owns the truth of God! The JW Org is not Truth Inc. God's truth neither originated with the JW organization nor any other group on earth! Truth originated with God and He invested it in His Son who alone could say, “I am the way and the TRUTH and the life.” ( John 14:6)

“All of God’s promises are YES [made certain] in Christ” (2 Cor 1:20). Only through Christ, not your organization or any Church system, every promise of God is made! To show you the enormous WEIGHT given to Christ, consider this PARTIAL list, in no particular order:

[ Jesus Christ ]

The Son of God. The Son of Man.

The Messiah. The Lord. The King. The Saviour.

The Passover. The Teacher. The Advocate. The Word of God.

The Bread from Heaven. The Manna. The Rock. The Head.

The Bridegroom. The Gate. The Way. The Truth.

The Life. The Light. The Faithful Witness.

The Lamb of God. The Resurrection.

The Cornerstone. The True Vine.

The Redeemer. The Mediator.

The High Priest.

When these titles are put together, a pattern emerges. Our heavenly Father has left little, if any, for any organization to do or to be! This is testified to by the scriptures below:

“For God has put ALL THINGS in subjection under His feet.” (1 Corinthians 15:27)

“ALL AUTHORITY in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” (Matt 28:18)

“God was pleased to have ALL THE FULLNESS to dwell in Him.” (Col 1:19)

With confidence, a true believer must go directly to Jesus Christ rather than through men. A true believer only sees, listens, and relates to the living Christ obeying God's voice saying:

“This is MY BELOVED SON . . . LISTEN to HIM.”

I realize that ANY man-made organizational indoctrination can make it hard for a person to hear Christ’s voice (in the Spirit). But anyone can break free from such bondage since Jesus assured us that,

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27)

“If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him.” (Rev 3:20)

I hope and pray, you won’t keep Jesus Christ outside the door of your heart and mind!
