    Well i am one and we have always believed in jesus and that jesus is Gods son. You all our always messing with us and what we believe in but are you yourselves wrong? Well find out for yourself, actually pick up the bible and read John 3:16. You all talk about Jesus being the soon but do you even know who the father is. Well just to let you know it’s Jehovah God. Im sorry to tell you but you mess with us and for what we believe in but yet we do not take peoples money. We may accept donations but we don’t take peoples money. we don’t tell people who lost someone they love that God needed another angel in heaven. Could you even show me in the bible where it even says that? So you tell me is it right to make fun of Jehovah’s Witnesses when you all barely know a thing about God’s word?

    Hi friend;

    Not sure how to approach this, but I’ve heard a lot of what the J.W’s believe about Jesus. That he is a god and NOT (THE) God. The Bible reads, in John 1:1

    “In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was With God and the Word Was God…”

    Now, IF Jesus is just a god, then according to Exodus 20:3, the entire New Testament is nullified, because God said that He will have NO OTHER (small g) gods.

    Then you have the matter of Jesus being the Archangel Michael. Now, why would the GOD of the Universe, who had NO beginnings, need a CREATED being to help HIM create?

    If I’m wrong, then I most sincerely apologize and I would like to learn more about Jehovah’s Witnesses from one who knows.

    Are you familiar, though, with the Claims Christ made about Himself.

    John 14:6 sums it all up. “I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE Life. No man comes to the Father, but by ME.”

    He also claimed to be * The Resurrection and the Life, * The Bread of Life * The Good Shepherd (as in Psalm 23)

    Colossians 2:9 says that all the Fullness of Deity dwells in Christ.

    In John 14:7-9 connects beautifully with Col 1:15, Col 2:9 and Hebrews 1:3.

    But, these four ought to help summarize things

    John 20:28

    Acts 20:28

    Titus 2:13

    1 Tim 3:16

    2 Peter 1:1

    Please feel free to reply if you have any other questions. OR…a more helpful place to go might be mmoutreach.org towertotruth.net

    Lest I forget Ephesians 2: 8

    By GRACE are we saved. Through faith. It is the Gift of God and not of worsks, lest anyone should boast. Roman 6:23 says that the wages of Sin is death (eternal separation from GOD) but the Gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.

    We cannot work our way to heaven.

    Again, if I’m wrong, please let me know where I’ve gone wrong. In the meantime, I hope those verses are of some help.

    i beleive that the truth will set you free Jehovah knows our potential and he will help us find the truth by any means. It just upsets me that people have the cheek to even referr to him in many bad ways. the majority of people who question us and our belifes are people who do not even believe in a God themselves, but yet feel the need to question anyway. Jehovah’s witnesses don’t do any harm they merely try to teach others about the bible and all the great things that are in store for us. we have an oppotunity to start again were adam and eve went wrong. i don’t see anything wrong with that.
    Many people claim to be wise but don’t beleive in God, that is not very wise in my opinion.
    All these bad things originate with satan and he is the one putting doudt in our minds by the things we see and do and hear. Many peopel don’t know why horrible things happen they happen because the have been prophecied and only those who know will recognise the signs. To wrap this up i just want to say that this whole business of when the world will end and people estamating needs to stop the bible clearly states that ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS THE TIME OF THE END, and NOT EVEN THE SON KNOWS THE DIVINE TIME!!!. sooo please stop trying to predict when jehovah will take his anger upon this system of things. oh and stop trying to guess what we believe just ask one of jehovah’s witnesses your questiond they will be more than happy to assist you. have a nice day. bye.

    Dear Debora,

    The Wathtower Society has itself repeatedly pointed to specific points in time when Armageddon would occur (1914, 1915, 1925, etc.). Do the research on the organization and see in their own literature that this is so. I agree that only God knows when that time is. If you are really going to “make sure of all things” and test them as to their truthfulness, you should not be afraid to do the same with your own organization. I encourage you to pray about it.
