Over half of the "Christian" churches I know have 'false teachings'----so what is your point??The organization that calls itself, “Jehovah's Witnesses,” is just one among many religions that teach false teachings, and would not have merited an in-depth topic about it .....however, it is one of the most actively tenacious proselytizers,
using the name of Christianity. In that regard, it is one of the most, if not the most dangerous modern-day cult there is.
If someone out there seeks religion, a good question would be to ask yourself: why?
What is your purpose?
If your purpose is to have all that is promised by the Christian God – eternal life with God that comes with salvation – then, you owe it to yourself to dig deeper, and heed the numerous warnings that are in the Scriptures
about false teachings, and wolves in sheep's clothings.
When we really think about it, there are only two important things to remember: FAITH IN CHRIST, and OBEDIENCE.
Those two, come together.
John 11
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;
26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
..................”who BELIEVES IN ME.....,” is a simple and yet, quite loaded statement.
Believing in Christ means, you accept HIM and everything He taught, and believe what He claims about Himself as THE TRUTH.
There is nothing that needs to be edited, or “sanitized” with what He said. There s nothing for us to correct about Him.
And yet, in numerous cases that's what's JW seems to be doing about Jesus Christ. Downplaying Him. Editing Him. Correcting Him.
That is important. If we are to obey Christ and preach to nations, we have to do as precisely as we can, as He instructed:
Matthew 28
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
What are the features of THE TRUE Christian religion?
It does not contradict or gets into conflict with any message in the Bible.
It is consistent with the message in the Scriptures.
Since the Scriptures can stand on its own, the true religion can HONESTLY stand to scrutiny as well, and can HONESTLY defend itself thru the Scriptures.
It is our GOD-given tool!
2 Tim 3
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
JW disciples are indoctrinated with their own man-made bible which is named, New World Translation, along with various media that are created by the organization. Among them, The WatchTower magazine.
It is said that they are forbidden to read any other religion-based materials by outside sources.
It is said that JW holds regular “book studies,” where-in its disciples are constantly exposed to counter CHRISTIAN teachings, so much so that it is also said, an average Jehovah's Witnesess disciple can easily clobber
an average Christian defending his Christian belief.
It is the purpose of this thread to EXPOSE the lies, and bring them to light...... through the Word of God.
It is the purpose of this thread to warn others from being led astray by the false teachings of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
It is the purpose of this thread to reach out to JW disciples, and provide them with points of direction.........that they may hopefully, see and hear............and, stop the spread of lies.
JW apologists are welcomed to correct any mistakes or misconceptions about their belief or organizations.
What are the false teachings of the JW? It's hard to decide which among the many should be given first. There are so many false teachings to unpack. Some teachings may seem so petty, but upon closer look,
they are equally devastating to one's understanding of the Gospel and the Bible, and lead one to confusion, and detrimentally, to erode one's faith in God (which is the intention of the devil).
These are the false teachings of the Jehovah's Witnesses, not necessarily in any order or ranking.
Over half of the "Christian" churches I know have 'false teachings'----so what is your point??
IF there is ONE TRUE Christianity, why are there more than 30,000 churches that call themselves Christian?
Just might be due to the multiple contradictions in the Holy Book and the multiple translations during the past 1500 years.
Why should we accept your opinion of the JWs? What is it based upon?
What causes you to believe that your specific church is the one true Christian faith while others who call themselves Christian you see as heretics?
Believing in Christ means, you accept HIM and everything He taught, and believe what He claims about Himself
We don't even know what this was for sure and certainly not in specifics.
That's what believing in Christ means. Faith is about trust.
Yeah, I don't play that.
That is for suckers.
Yeah I read it----------why is JW so special to be picked on?? Almost all churches have "false teachings"................you lose before yu start IMODid you read the OP? The point should be obvious.
If you want to bring up and discuss the false teachings of other religion/churches - kindly create your own thread for it.

I'm not JW. Nor, do I agree with much of their teachings. But, why do you use the word "dangerous?" In what way are they dangerous? All the JW's I know are fine people with great morals. Like Mormons and TV evangelists, they have a message to give. But, they do not force anyone to live their beliefs by threatening to cut off their heads like perhaps some fundamentalist Islamists do. And, you state the word "cult" as if it were not synonymous with Jesus Christ in his day. In his day, His movement was known as a cult. So, stop using it as a negative. It's not the same as "occult." Yet, many equate the two words as being the same. So, are you deceiving people intentionally using "dangerous cult?"The organization that calls itself, “Jehovah's Witnesses,” is just one among many religions that teach false teachings, and would not have merited an in-depth topic about it .....however, it is one of the most actively tenacious proselytizers,

John 1:1 is not what I'd expect from JW's as well. They have never believed Jesus was a God. We believe Jehovah to be Jesus and JW's do not. They do believe he's a separate personage but I've never heard them preach that he's a God. Now, if you want to take apart the verse for a second, the second part "The word was with God" certainly suggests Jesus was with God, not the God he's talking about. Why would he say he is with himself? Makes no sense. Yet, mainstream Christianity still tries to justify the convoluted "Trinity" that there is just one personage God who manifests Himself three different ways at the same time. Magical for sure but magic isn't what Christians should be aspiring to, is it? So, who was Jesus (Jehovah) with? The Father of course. Duh!!! He was with the Father, not the Father God. So, Jesus was with the Father, but not the Father. So, he is a God. God the Son.JW's bible, New World Translation, had corrupted the Word of God. Here is another outright distortion.
They changed this,
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
into this:
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word,a and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.
How is it possible that The Word was a god? Was God lying when He said this?
Isaiah 43
10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
Read the next line:
11 I, even I, am the Lord,
and apart from me there is no savior.
God is the only Saviour.
If Jesus is not God - then, why do we regard Him as our saviour?
If Jesus is not God - JW disciples has a very, very serious problem.
See what happens when you fool around, changing words and distorting messages of God.
You end up in conflict with, or contradicting something in the Scriptures.

JW's do not believe Jesus Christ is God or part of the Godhead. They view him more like Islam views Jesus Christ, as a Prophet. They are entitled to their opinions. But, this is not making them dangerous people. Stop with the dramatics.

See, JW's believe Jesus is the Arc Angel, Michael. Thus, not part of the Godhead. And, this is why I find their wording still fighting their own belief. Of course, Michael became Adam, the Father of the Human race on Earth.
