Can any Jehovah Witness explain what they believe?

We believe the bible is the word of God. We believe that God (whose name if Jehovah) sent his son (Jesus) to die for our sins.

**[Your] beliefs are "totally opposite of Orthodox Christianity"**

We couldn't care less, we don't worship "orthodox Christianity" we worship God and follow Jesus as he instructed in scripture. If that opposes "orthodox Christianity" then its THEM not us that is at fault and that doesn't bother us in the slightest.

EDITJehovah's Witnesses most definitely believe in Jesus, Resurrection, Salvation, and Holy Spirit?

WHAT ARE THE BELIEFS OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ? Please see our official website for details

Jehovah Witnesses believe in Jesus, resurrection, salvation, and the Holy Spirit fervently. I have to been to Kingdom Halls to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. If you believe in Christ, then you are a Christian.

Orthodox Christianity originates from the Catholic Church which teaches traditions of men and Greek philosophy.

Original Christianity has nothing to do with Orthodox Christianity.

Christians are people who follow the teachings of the bible and Jesus. Jehovah's witnesses are christians and their beliefs are different because, they have not been whitewashed by paganism and the influences of the world. Other christian denominations have inculcated some pagan aspects in their worship.

@ted.nard.. What makes you think that "orthodox Christianity" is truly Christian?

@robert C.. What makes you display a totally Godless attitude toward people of a belief that's different to your own.

@sunshine. Well answered.

Jehovah’s Witnesses

Definition: The worldwide Christian society of people who actively bear witness regarding Jehovah God and his purposes affecting mankind. They base their beliefs solely on the Bible.

What beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses set them apart as different from other religions?

(1) Bible: Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God, and instead of adhering to a creed based on human tradition, they hold to the Bible as the standard for all their beliefs.

(2) God: They worship Jehovah as the only true God and freely speak to others about him and his loving purposes toward mankind. Anyone who publicly witnesses about Jehovah is usually identified as belonging to the one group—“Jehovah’s Witnesses.”

3) Jesus Christ: They believe, not that Jesus Christ is part of a Trinity, but that, as the Bible says, he is the Son of God, the first of God’s creations; that he had a prehuman existence and that his life was transferred from heaven to the womb of a virgin, Mary; that his perfect human life laid down in sacrifice makes possible salvation to eternal life for those who exercise faith; that Christ is actively ruling as King, with God-given authority over all the earth since 1914.

(4) God’s Kingdom: They believe that God’s Kingdom is the only hope for mankind; that it is a real government; that it will soon destroy the present wicked system of things, including all human governments, and that it will produce a new system in which righteousness will prevail.

(5) Heavenly life: They believe that 144,000 spirit-anointed Christians will share with Christ in his heavenly Kingdom, ruling as kings with him. They do not believe that heaven is the reward for everyone who is “good.”

(6) The earth: They believe that God’s original purpose for the earth will be fulfilled; that the earth will be completely populated by worshipers of Jehovah and that these will be able to enjoy eternal life in human perfection; that even the dead will be raised to an opportunity to share in these blessings.

(7) Death: They believe that the dead are conscious of absolutely nothing; that they are experiencing neither pain nor pleasure in some spirit realm; that they do not exist except in God’s memory, so hope for their future life lies in a resurrection from the dead.

(8) Last days: They believe that we are living now, since 1914, in the last days of this wicked system of things; that some who saw the events of 1914 will also see the complete destruction of the present wicked world; that lovers of righteousness will survive into a cleansed earth.

(9) Separate from the world: They earnestly endeavor to be no part of the world, as Jesus said would be true of his followers. They show genuine Christian love for their neighbors, but they do not share in the politics or the wars of any nation. They provide for the material needs of their families but shun the world’s avid pursuit of material things and personal fame and its excessive indulgence in pleasure.

(10) Apply Bible counsel: They believe that it is important to apply the counsel of God’s Word in everyday life now—at home, in school, in business, in their congregation. Regardless of a person’s past way of life, he may become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses if he abandons practices condemned by God’s Word and applies its godly counsel. But if anyone thereafter makes a practice of adultery, fornication, homosexuality, drug abuse, drunkenness, lying, or stealing, he will be disfellowshipped from the organization.

The above list briefly states some outstanding beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses

but by no means all the points on which their beliefs are different from those of other groups. Scriptural basis for the above beliefs can be found in The Bible.

this is going to be interesting, watch the spin they use to hide their real beliefs
