What Does The Jehovah Witness & Watchtower Magazine Teach That Is Wrong ? BEWARE by Nobody: 2:44pm On Jul 07, 2012
There are five important facts to remember about the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower Organization.

1. They have accepted the Organization as the Prophet of God.

2. They have accepted the Organization as God's sole channel for His truth.

3. They believe that to reject the Organization is to reject God.

4. They believe that only the Organization can interpret the Bible; as individuals they are unable to do so.

5. They believe the Watchtower Magazine contains God's truth, directed by Him, through the Organization.



What does the Organization and Watchtower Magazine teach that is in conflict with Orthodox Christianity?

1. That Jesus is a created being/a creature.

2. That Jesus is actually Michael the Archangel

3. That Jesus was not resurrected bodily, but as a spirit being.

4. That Jesus returned invisibly in 1914 (secretly to the Organization)

5. That Jesus was only a man when on earth, not the Word Become flesh.

6. That the Holy Spirit is only an active force, not the person of God.

7. That Hell is simply the grave.

7. That Heaven's doors is open to only 144,000.

8. That the majority of Witnesses must remain on earth.

9. That salvation is found only through the Organization.

10. That it must be maintained by energetic works for the Organization until the end when one may merit eternal life on a paradise earth.




The Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe or teach some of the very basic tenets of Christian doctrine.

They deny:

1. The Omnipresence of God.

2. The Deity of Christ.

3. The bodily resurrection of Christ.

4. The visible return of Christ.

5. The Promise of Heaven to all believers.

6. The necessity of the New Birth for all believers.

Hades or Hell as translated by the KJV ,is indeed the common grave of mankind.

Hell aka Lake of Fire is the final destiny of the wicked who will be destroyed once and for all, so no eternal torment as some so wrongly assume.

Agree

Only GOD is immortal and he will give immortality only to the righteous

i have vouch not to discus jw issues but i just culdnt stand their blatant falsehood as their light keep brighter and brighter. The truth of today, to a jw, might become false tomorrow in the next edition of watchtower magazine. While attacking the nazi's for persecuting dem in ww2 in almost all their watchtower magazines, for not assistin in the war efort, they neva mention the allied forces persecutin dem as well cos nazis lost the ww2. If d nazis had won, the watchtowr write-up on ww2 incidence would have been the opposite. This is pure hypocricy perfectly crafted to brainwash most jw without questioning. And if u dare question too much u will be disfellowshiped and finally shunned for challengin any wrong watchtower teachin. May God let mature men reason well.

Ironically, these positions are easy to defend using the Bible and reason if one of course first accepts some of their own premises. Let me demonstrate this.

frosbel: There are five important facts to remember about the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower Organization.

1. They have accepted the Organization as the Prophet of God.

2. They have accepted the Organization as God's sole channel for His truth.

3. They believe that to reject the Organization is to reject God.

4. They believe that only the Organization can interpret the Bible; as individuals they are unable to do so.

5. They believe the Watchtower Magazine contains God's truth, directed by Him, through the Organization.

There is nothing strange about this. The Catholic Church actually does something very similar. They have the Pope who is considered infallible etc. At least, the Jehovah's Witnesses defer to a group and not just one unelected man.

frosbel:
What does the Organization and Watchtower Magazine teach that is in conflict with Orthodox Christianity?

1. That Jesus is a created being/a creature.

If Jesus wasn't created, then how could there have been only one God?

frosbel:
2. That Jesus is actually Michael the Archangel

I'm unsure about this.

frosbel:
3. That Jesus was not resurrected bodily, but as a spirit being.

This makes more sense than a body walking through walls after it is dead which it couldn't do while it was alive.

frosbel:
4. That Jesus returned invisibly in 1914 (secretly to the Organization)

This is not strange in Christian circles. Do you remember Harold Camping?

frosbel:
5. That Jesus was only a man when on earth, not the Word Become flesh.

It makes more sense than him being both human and God at the same time in the same place.

frosbel:
6. That the Holy Spirit is only an active force, not the person of God.

Have you considered that their conception of a spirit is different from yours?

frosbel:
7. That Hell is simply the grave.

That would be more consistent with a God who doesn't want to see people suffer.

frosbel:
7. That Heaven's doors is open to only 144,000.

Says so in the Bible.

frosbel:
8. That the majority of Witnesses must remain on earth.

Of course. Who else will a New Earth be for?

frosbel:
9. That salvation is found only through the Organization.

If they were right, that would be true.

frosbel:
10. That it must be maintained by energetic works for the Organization until the end when one may merit eternal life on a paradise earth.

Why else do other churches have workers?

frosbel:
The Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe or teach some of the very basic tenets of Christian doctrine.

They deny:

1. The Omnipresence of God.

Does God really need to be omnipresent if he is already omniscient and omnipotent?

frosbel:
2. The Deity of Christ.

Christ cannot have been both God and man at the same time in the same place. It is logically contradictory.

frosbel:
3. The bodily resurrection of Christ.

Explained above.

frosbel:
4. The visible return of Christ.

That would be the logical conclusion since they believe his reign has begun.

frosbel:
5. The Promise of Heaven to all believers.

Remember that some people are supposed to live on the New Earth so it is reasonable to conclude that they will be believers.

frosbel:
6. The necessity of the New Birth for all believers.

What do you mean by "New Birth"? Last time I checked, they take their baptisms seriously.

too bad,
thats what religious dogma does to a human brain
another example is muslim that slaughters a fellow human and shout allahu akbar i.e. god is great
or a fundamental christians who sees nothing wrong with eternal torture in hell fire
you see, a good man do good deeds and a bad man do bad deeds but only religion can make a good man do bad deeds,
just like the JW woman or boko haram people

just activate your reasoning mode for a few seconds and look at religion objectively
and see why few of us reject religion totally.
