Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Cult or Ministers of God...
They are a cult, almost a direct descendant of Arian heretics. If I were to invoke Christ I would probably call y'all a "brood of vipers".
Don't start playing the victim card, if you are going to badmouth Christianity don't expect us to look the other way.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Cult or Ministers of God...
Why else would Wikipedia be so popular?
That's only a good idea for folks who want to find out something. Research has shown that most people make up their minds on an emotional level and then proceed to see what they want to see while twisting logic to justify ideas they're married to.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Cult or Ministers of God...
Can't argue with that but believe it or not, there are a rare few who still seek the truth...not lies and propaganda from such sites as Wiki...my comment is for those rare few...

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Cult or Ministers of God...
I'm not a christian but I respect the JWs, they are much better than other christians, especially the arrogant Evangelicals who worship their billionaire televangelists. The JWs are humble people who are committed to their faith. They truly follow the Biblical teaching "Be not of this world", unlike those Evangelicals that bask in white suburban toxic culture. The JWs refuse to worship the state and follow meaningless rituals of patriotism like saluting the flag and standing up for the national anthem. JWs are the most principled christians. They have so much integrity they were the only christians who refused to submit to Hitler and were sent to the gas chambers along with the Jews, while all the other christian denominations were too cowardly to oppose the Nazi regime. Also they reject the ridiculous trinity doctrine which is basically tri-theism any way you slice it.

I have more respect for Christians sects that peacefully proselytize than for those who are happy to let non-believers suffer. JW's are a strange bunch, but no more cultish than any other sect.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Cult or Ministers of God...
Very much a cult, and that's on the basis of the very foundation of true Christianity, the very person of Christ. The Watchtower Society denies the deity and divinity of Christ, deny Him being the Second person of the Triune Godhead, and have even stated that he is Michael the Archangel, which according to all reputable Greek and Hebrew Scholars, is patently false. Their "Bible", is actually Russell's "Studies in the Scriptures". In addition, they rely on a works-based salvation and deny heaven to all except for "the elect".

We have the same Bible you do...the only difference is it is translated into modern English if you use the KJV...same books, same chapters, same verses...

No, they have a "Bible", it's called the New World Translation, it has all of the problem passages like John 1:1 edited out.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Cult or Ministers of God...
That is another of many lies you have told...you are just full of them...
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. This one was in the beginning with God. All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence." John 1:1,2

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Cult or Ministers of God...
America's Constitution provides for "Freedom OF religion" it does not state how one must practice that freedom. In one respect, it's kinda sad that, under our Constitution, even Devil worshipers are allowed their religion.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Cult or Ministers of God...
No, you lie, there is no Christian translation that says that the Word was "a God". The JW cult changed it to "a God" so they wouldn't have to explain why John 1:1 referred to Jesus as God. You have exchanged the truth of God for a lie. You are not just mistaken, you are knowingly lying.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Cult or Ministers of God...
Yes, they are. They deny the personhood of the Holy Spirit, who is God (Acts chapter 5) - the third person of the Holy Trinity.
They also deny Jesus was always Jehovah God. They say Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, not Almighty God.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Cult or Ministers of God...
The worst part of it is that they can't even give you a reason for believing the stuff they shovel. How does Jesus not being God help you with your salvation?

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Cult or Ministers of God...
Jehovah's Witnesses are right about some things and wrong about other things. There seems little doubt among traditional Christians that Jehovah's Witnesses are in trouble with God over some of their doctrinal views.
