Central Bible passages concealed
How the Watchtower, the Jehovah's Witnesses keeps stupid in the long run
Jehovah's Witnesses react with indignation and righteous anger, if they come across the idea that Jesus saves people by pure grace. They raise their voice or suddenly write in capital letters everything (means shouting on the internet) in order to stress the Watchtower basic assumption that one can only reach the Kingdom of Jehovah by searching for the truth.
As in blind rage, they throw Bible passages around themselves and you can feel her neck stiff and stony heart. At this point, any agreement is categorically interrupted. At this point, the witness stands with all his power against those who claime that Jesus saves, without precondition, and only through faith in him.
How does the Watchtower to program these people this way?
The assurance that the Jehovah's Witnesses only read and absorb into the brain and heart, which fits the Watchtower doctrine is founded on the principle that only those completely remixed Bible can bring the truth. But please - guided by the new idea of the "Governing Body". Thus, perfectly understandable and clear Bible passages in the eyes of the Jehovah's Witnesses are nothing. They are for the witnesses, without any meaning.
Example: Am I in their midst
In Matthew 18:20, Jesus promises us: "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
Here Jesus says about himself that he can simultaneously be in different places. Just as the omnipotence, the omnipresence is an absolute attribute of God. Since there is no angel, who has that ability to be omnipresent, says Jesus by this promise that he is God. This simple conclusion is so dangerous and deadly for the doctrine of the Watchtower, that the Watchtower Society actually has managed to deny this passage to the cluttered mind of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
The otherwise experienced and trained Jehovah's Witnesses do not know this key word of Jesus. Even their technical resources (Bible Dictionary on CD) seem to Jehovah's Witnesses not to help further at this point. They are completely surprised when they hear from this passage.
But even if they read this passage, under the guidance, and even when they see this passage in black and white, they save themselves into the emergency exit, that "this passage needs to be read in context". They do not have the courage to recognize this direct word of God as truth. Inwardly they are convinced, they could be lied by the Bible, if they were not waiting for the "new light" of the Watchtower Society.
In this way, their hearts are closed for the truth. Only the nested, human-scale intelligence-looking statements of the Watchtower impress in these lost people a feeling of not being lied to.
This attitude toward the Bible is the opposite of faith. It is artificially produced in the Jehovah's Witnesses by the Watchtower Society and installed in them artificially. The Jehovah's Witnesses connot ascribe the Bible a value or real and direct meaning. Only the peculiar nesting of the Watchtower's doctrine is valid for them.
In this way the Watchtower Society has closed the eyes of these people forever. They read the Bible, but cannot understand with their own brain. They are specialists in page turning, but cannot grasp simple ideas with their hearts. This disempowerment that prevents the Jehovah's Witnesses from the simple belief entitles the public statement that the Watchtower Society is Antichrist.

In Revelation 5, 13 and 14, the lamb is just worshipped like him who sits on the throne. All creatures worship. Jesus does not worship, but he is worshipped. Therefore, Jesus must be God, equal to the Father, for Jesus is the Creator.
Jesus says to us:
The Bible is full of clear facts, which all show that Jesus is God. God has humbled himself in Jesus to save us.
