We Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus has divine nature, just as Christians who will live in heaven will become "partakers in the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4), and just as angels are referred to as "God" (compare Hebrews 2:7 quoting Psalm 8:5, which has "elohim" in the Hebrew, "God" or "divine beings"). Following the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ in his model prayer, we direct prayer only to "our Father", but we do so in the name of Jesus Christ. We do not believe the Trinity. We believe that Jesus being called the Son means that he is younger than his Father, and his being called "firstborn of all creation" means that he is part of creation and is God's first creation.
We believe that Jesus died for our sins and he is in heaven and will come again to bring the battle of Armageddon, in which he will destroy the kings of the earth, their armies and the small and the great who support them, but will preserve alive those who no longer support the politics of this world but support rulership by Christ of a paradise earth. We also concentrate on preaching the good news of the Kingdom, spending much time in sharing the Gospel with them, rather than trying to accumulate treasures on the earth. We love Jehovah God, our Father, we love Jesus Christ our Lord and we love the people we meet, even if they don't like us. All of this gives us confidence that we are Christians, and we don't care if others believe that belief in the Trinity, the immortal soul and hell fire is required to be a Christian. That is their belief and they have the right to it. We will continue preaching the good news of the Kingdom until Christ puts an end to our work.

A cult whose activities are all over its website for the whole world to see?No teachings of the JW is based on human philosophy but the bible do your research well, there are many people on the broad road leading to destruction, and only few on the narrow road leading to destruction,Even Jesus' disciples made a mistake of thinking that he was going to restore the kingdom to them at that time,that false reasoning did not turn them into false prophets; you really need to pray to Jehovah for you to know the truth and this truth based on God's word not what people think will set you free.if you don't have any constructive reasoning to contribute to this article, you better not read about JWs, time will tell, whether thet are true or false religion.

You are right, Steve, that the Bible has power: it is one of the rare books that either inspires deep love or deep revulsion. For me that is part of the evidence that it is from God, because as it says in Hebrews, "the word of God is sharper than any two-edged swords, and discerns thoughts and intentions of the heart." It touches the heart of some people, but other people find reasons for rejecting its message and its moral code.
I see from your comment that you look down on old men. I think that is probably because you a relatively young man. Many young men look down on old men. With time you will become an old man yourself, and young men will look down on you and your ideas.
If you think you can be happy in this world, then our faith is not for you. Our faith is for those who are not happy with the way things are, who yearn for something more, who, as Jesus put it, "are conscious of their spiritual needs", who "hunger and thirst for righteousness". If you are satisfied with your philosophy and way of life, we have nothing for you. When Jehovah's Witnesses come, please don't waste their time. Tell them that you are not interested and that you don't want them to come visit you anymore. We are looking for persons who want more than this world has to offer, because that is the kind of persons that we are.
My faith really satisfies my spiritual needs. Our faith has not been infallible but it touches my mind and my heart and I am not going to give it up even if others call it quasi-cult-like or ridicule the idea that God will end this world and start a new world under the kingship of his son, and make the earth a fully satisfying place to live in.
I really don't care about their opinion of my faith, Steve. You don't see the beauty of the Bible or my faith and maybe you never will. That depends on Jehovah, whether he sees in you the kind of person that can love and respect him, and then sends you his holy spirit to open your heart. You can also ask him in prayer, if you feel a spiritual need. Jehovah has helped persons raised in atheism, such as persons I know from the former Soviet Union and from China. They now believe in Jehovah though they used to ridicule the idea of God.
I hope you do.

That's right, Alex. For actually more that 1600 years, Christianity was corrupted more and more with false teachings and practices. This is what Jesus predicted in his parable of the wheat and weeds, saying that the field of the world would contain true Christians, the "sons of the kingdom", mixed in with the "sons of the wicked one". The history of Christian nations, where the clergy supported horrible wars between persons claiming to be Christians, colonialism, convinces me that Jesus prediction came true. I believe that Jesus is using the Governing Body to direct the preaching of the kingdom of God. I am continually amazed at the increased quality of our literature, as it explores the beauty and depth of the Scriptures. I believe that Jehovah is searching for persons who will be happy in a world ruled by his Son Jesus and other co-rulers in heaven who were men and women on earth before their resurrection.
We really don't care what whether we appear like Mormons or not. We try to follow the first-century Christian model, in which a Jerusalem-based governing body made up of the apostles and older men, who were likely all Jewish, decided on policy and teachings, notably on the matter of circumcision, for all Christians in the whole world, whether Jewish or Gentile (Acts 15). We agree with the Mormons that the democratic-style of church governance, where the faithful elect their elders, hire and fire their pastors, a system invented by John Calvin, is NOT the Biblical model, and so we do not follow this model.
I am proud to be part of an international brotherhood that is not divided by racism and politics. I am a white Canadian, but I am united in love with all my African brothers and will also benefit from this one-day assembly a few months from now.
We know that not everyone believes as we do, Alex, but that does not make us weak in faith. We believe that if Jehovah sees in people the qualities he is looking for in his worshipers, he will open their hearts to believe as we do. As Jesus said, "the Father draws people to Christ". We simply plant and water, but "God makes it grow".

You are probably an elder that spends most of his week working on polished responses just as you have above answering another letter. All of your mis-information is covered by many websites that you discourage people for seeing. First born of all creation. You know that has two meanings. You know that your New World Translation has changes not in the greek language. The word was A god and Christ created all OTHER things are perversions of scripture. Really you write nothing new and only impress those who don't know about your organizations dishonesty
So once again. If and organization is so important to Truth....where was your so called Gods organization?
I also noticed you would not touch the fall of Jerusalem dishonest, but there is so much that you love to ignore. You use fluff talk about your publications. Why does your membership lie to people when you tell them you are offering a free 'bible study' that in reality turns out to be the beginning of a lifetime of Watchtower publication studies Your group can not exist with only the scriptures. Just like your first president said about the Watchtower publications "Studies in the Scriptures" that they were necessary for salvation and anyone only reading the scriptures would fall into darkness. The same spirit lives on at the Watchtower. Your group is nothing but a new religion from the USA just like your cousins the Mormons. You can use all the polished language you want but you don't fool everyone.

Jesus’ prophesy that says “Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations, until the appointed times of the nations are fulfilled.” (Luke 21:24). How long will Jerusalem be trampled upon by the nations (appointed times of the nation). Jerusalem was to be in desolation for 70 yrs. Jehovah allowed the Babylonians to conquer his people, destroy Jerusalem and its temple, remove Zedekiah from “the throne of the kingship of Jehovah” and take the Jews into Babylonian exile. (1 Chronicles 28:5). Judah then lay completely desolate and Jehovah’s prophet Jeremiah had foretold that the desolation would last for 70 years. (Jeremiah 25:8-11)
Historians calculate that Babylon fell in early October of the year 539 B.C.E. Soon thereafter, Daniel discerned from Jeremiah’s prophecy that the 70-year captivity and desolation for Jerusalem was about ended. (Daniel 9:2) And he was right! In the first year of Cyrus the Persian, which most historians date from the spring of 538 B.C.E., Cyrus issued a decree permitting the Jews to return to their homeland to repopulate it and to rebuild Jehovah’s temple there. (2 Chronicles 36:20-23; Ezra 1:1-5) The inspired historical account tells us that the Jews responded readily to Cyrus’ decree, so that “when the seventh month arrived the sons of Israel were in their cities.” (Ezra 3:1) By our calendar that would be October, 537 B.C.E., which date therefore marks the completion of the foretold 70 years of desolation.
That historical information is important to us in determining the beginning of “the appointed times of the nations.” Since the 70 years of desolation for Judah and Jerusalem ended in 537 B.C.E., they began in 607 B.C.E (that was when Jerusalem was destroyed). That would be the year when Zedekiah ceased to sit upon the “throne of the kingship of Jehovah” in Jerusalem. It therefore marks also the date for the beginning of the Gentile Times.
This one date cannot make all the teaching of JW false, compare your historical facts also with that of the bible, don't be one sided.

Yes, the bible is a historical document and reliable and accurate one for that matter, compared to circular history, hence when what circular history states is at variance with what is proved by the bible, we accept what the bible says. Note that the desolation according to the bible was 70yrs long, so by your date, if you work back from 538 BC to 586 BC, you will not get 70 years. it will be good to check your facts with what the bible says unless you don't believe in the bible.

The plain fact is that people know more about what JWs DON'T believe than what they DO believe, which is a very sad legacy for over 100 years of preaching work. I think it's also pretty hilarious that right next to this comment box, there is an ad titled, 'Sell your property!', which is the advice given to JWs in 1975, with the addendum that the money could be placed in the loving hands of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I lived through that 1975 debacle, and it really gets me that more people didn't join the exodus at that point. For a people who pride themselves on their understanding of scripture, they sure don't know how to spot a false prophet, even when Jesus explicitly tells them how.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not "call on Christians to walk with God. They call on Jehovah's Witnesses to obey standards set down by the Watchtower Society. JWs do not consider any, other than disciplined Jehovah's Witnesses to be Christians. True Christians that believe Jesus Christ to be LORD do not consider JWs to be Christians. Allowing some 250,000 JWs or their children to die rather than accept a blood transfusion demonstrates the mind control the Watchtower Society has over JWs.Jehovah's Witnesses are victims. Their minds are locked up in the cold stone walls of the Watchtower. I have written a book that tells how to rescue these good people from mind control. It is "Rescuing Slaves of the Watchtower," and is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and others.
