PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT to all Jehovah Witnesses who are TRULY "no part of the world".today!



The US Government has recently announced that effective Tuesday, July 13, 2010, The fee for renouncing your U.S. citizenship will increase from $0.00 dollars to $450.00 (see Passport Fees, here):

True Christians know it is one thing to "talk the talk" and quite another to "walk the walk". Anyone can claim to be "no part of the world" with their lips. (John 17:14)



But have they truly renounced it? No, it is not enough to simply renounce the world with your lips. Jehovah requires concrete action! Otherwise we are no better than the members of Christendom who have always claimed to be "No part of the world!" (James 4:4)



Jehovah's organizaton has lovingly provided a way out for you, but do you still have one foot in the "worldly door"?  Or are you like Lot's wife, who, by looking back on Sodom, showed her love for the fleshly world? (Gen 19:26) (1 John 2:15)


 Worldly citizenship is nothing more than a mark of the wild beast! (Rev 13:3,4) Why cling to your worldly membership when full, unadulterated citizenship in God's Kingdom awaits?


 Renouncing worldly citizenship is easy:



1. appear in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer,


2. in a foreign country (normally at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate); and


3. sign an oath of renunciation

By following these 3 simple steps, you will become "Stateless" and truly "no part of the world"!


 Imagine the encouragement your brothers and sisters will take as you casually announce yourself stateless. Your sole membership will be with Jehovah's organization, with absolutely NO divided loyalties! (Eph 2:19)


Now is this a point for bragging? Absolutely not! While some may consider renouncement as a sure consideration for elder or overseer status (1 Tim 1-13, Tit 1 5-9), others will see it as a moral and spiritual imperative, and as a conscience matter for the individual Christian.



Yes, its easy to truly become "no part of the world" but soon it will become very expensive. Take advantage of this never to be repeated free offer.



Remember, you cannot serve two masters, so run, don't walk. Remove the beastly mark and encourage others to get out of Babylon today!

JWs are exactly the part of the world that the Governing Body tells them to be.

Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?

Jehovah's Witnesses follow the Bible. It was inspired for our instruction. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) One example inspired to be included was that of the apostle Paul. One event included under inspiration was that of Acts 22:25-28.



But when they had stretched him out for the whipping, Paul said to the army officer standing there: “Is it lawful for you men to scourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned?” Well, when the army officer heard this, he went to the military commander and made report, saying: “What are you intending to do? Why, this man is a Roman.” So the military commander approached and said to him: “Tell me, Are you a Roman?” He said: “Yes.” The military commander responded: “I purchased these rights as a citizen for a large sum of money.” Paul said: “But I was even born in them.”



"Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen ... ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, that I am God." - Isaiah 43:10, 12, ASV.

If Paul wasn't wearing the iron ring of a Roman citizen, and I was the military tribune, I would have ordered him whipped anyway.  He was probably pretty shabby in any case. Wink

Hi Phronesis:


If I had presented the above assertion to a Chrfistian Sunday School class, this would be the expected response. However, my question (and I do not mean this harshly) is:



Why does Paul's statement apply to you? Smile


Paul says "But I was even born in them". But remember, according to your theology, only the anointed are "born again". So although Paul was born as a Roman citizen he was also "born again" so that he is "no part of the world".


The vast majority of Jehovah Witnesses are not "born again", so they still remain "Roman citizens".


As such, based on the scriptures I presented earlier, they should be seeking to become Stateless as soon as possible. Otherwise they have no basis for claiming we remain in the world while they do not.  Only the existing remnant of the 144,000 should be pointing that finger at us,  because only they were "born again".


Once a rank and file JW renounces their citizenship, they can then claim they are "no part of the world" just like the anointed. They are no longer like the military commander who has "bought in" to Roman citizenship. Instead, they have decided to "opt out".


This allows them to accuse Christendom of split allegiances. In other words, the Society cannot pick and choose the criteria which defines who remains in the world and whom does not. Only being "born again" or renouncing your citizenship does that.

Such a self-centered myopic self-aggrandizing American view of 'the world'.


You never fail to disappoint, Oeste ... but then, the bar is set pretty low.

Something for professed christians to consider: every single action defines.

Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was homey, appetizing: a habit.
Martha Gellhorn

True Christianity must line up with the Bible, the word of God.  True Christianity will not be proven wrong, although people may appear to make it sound untrue by arguing against it by using false statements.

Ambassadors have rights in all countries of the  world. I expect  the fees will be great. We have dealt with all kinds of problem before. We respect the governments but we do not choose them, nor do we  take part in the national celebratons. That is  actions. So is going door to door to reach people  how important it is to become a memeber of Jehovah'a kingdom.


The churches of Christendom were tricked into becomeing a part of Satan's world by following the Council of Nicea. Constantine  was the ruler of the world of Satan's domain. And it has reuited in deaths of billions. Did JW's carry arms, did we riot? did we boot anyone our of office? Do we work in factorines , helping to produce war weapons? You know the answer . We have not done harm to you or anyone else. That is what Jesus taught. There are only 2 sides. The nations of the world are on one side with their  entrenced religons that promote them. On the other side is  those who belong to  Jehovah's kingdom which is  fortold to grow and fill the earth. Dan. 2; 44.  Jesus fortold that .."all the nations will hate youand persecute you."  And the religons of Christendom  have taught the hatred by using  the measurenment of Constantine and ignoring themeasurement of  Jesus at Jn 13;35

If you are in, say, Italy, and your passport is stolen, will you go to a local Kingdom Hall (if you can find one!) or will you go to the local American embassy or consulate to have it replaced--because without it you won't ever leave Italy legally.  Try telling the embassy staff that you're a JW, and the American government is run by Satan and you're no part of it, but please issue me another Satan-backed American passport so I can go home.


In that case, you'll see just how much a part of this world you are.
