'Is the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian?' If anyone reading this is a Jehovah's Witness, please understand that I am not against you as an individual. 'The answer to the question is, "No. It is not Christian." Like all non-Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witness organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity. It denies the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection, and salvation by grace. This alone makes it non-Christian. To support its erring doctrines, the Watchtower organization (which is the author and teacher of all official Jehovah's Witness theology), has even altered the Bible to make it agree with its changing and non-Christian teachings. 'Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors: 'Taking verses out of their immediate context. 'Refusing to read verses in the entire biblical context. 'Inserting their theological presuppositions into the text. 'Altering the Biblical text to suit their needs. 'Latching onto one verse to interpret a host of others. 'Changing the meanings of words. 'Proclaiming some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines. 'Adding to the Word of God. 'Additionally, the Jehovah's Witness organization requires of its members regular weekly attendance at their "Bible Study" meetings where they are repeatedly indoctrinated with anti-Christian teachings. This is done by reading the Watchtower magazine, following along with what it says, reading the questions it asks, and reciting the answers it gives. In other words, the Watchtower Organization carefully trains its members to let the Organization do their thinking for them. For confirmation of this, please read Does the Watchtower organization control the JW's thinking? (www.carm.org/jw/watchtower.htm). (...) 'Primarily, the Jehovah's Witness organization is a mind control organization that uses its people to pass out literature and send in "donations" to the headquarters in Brooklyn, New York. '"Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible." The Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1967. p. 587. 'The Watchtower organization of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a non-Christian organization that uses its people to promulgate false doctrines, sell a multitudinous amount of literature, and expand its grip into the lives of its members and their families. 'It is a non-Christian cult.' ____________________ (www.carm.org/jw/cult.htm) john11 |

2 | Is Jehovah's Witness religion Christian? | John 1:1 | kalos | 123218 | ||
If JW group is from God, then why... If you are a Jehovah's Witness, please understand that I am not against you as an individual. 'If the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is from God, then... 'Why has it made false prophecies? 'Why has it altered the translation of the Bible? 'Why does the Watchtower say you will fall into apostasy if you read the Bible without the Watchtower? 'Why are you not allowed to examine your own organization and its problems? 'Why does it tell you what to think and do? 'Have you checked the documentation from the Watchtower Magazine? How do you know that the Watchtower is correct? Because it says it is? 'Please don’t be offended by this. But when a group claims to be the prophet of God, yet 'mistranslates the Bible, 'takes verses out of context, 'makes false prophecies, and 'misquotes authorities all to make its position valid, 'its credibility is lost. It cannot be from God. (...) 'Do you want to trust your eternal soul to the teachings of several men headquartered in Brooklyn, New York who claim to be the directors of God's organization on earth? Do you? Eternity is a long time to be wrong.' ____________________ (http://www.carm.org/jw/ifurjw.htm).] john11 |
