One thing I want to ask about Jehovah Witnesses?

They admit that Jehovah is all powerful, and that He did a pretty good job creating the universe and man. But they think He has a problem in explaining things, and needs the Witnesses help, their distorted theology, and perverted bible. Why is that?

    Then why have preachers or clergy at all, if God doesn't need any help? What is the Pope good for then, if God needs no help?

    See how ridiculous your question is? Why did Jehovah use imperfect men to proclaim his Word to the people? Did he really need them?

    Jesus is the one who said he would be using people here on earth to preach the Kingdom message. Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28:19. We are doing exactly that all over the world.

    Jesus gave us a commission and we are carrying it out in full force.

    Are other religions doing what Jesus commanded? No, they aren't and they don't want to.

    Jehovah chose us as his modern day people because we are the only ones who have the right heart condition, attitude and spiritual fortitude to obey what his Son commanded.

    We are blessed to be Kingdom proclaimers. Our ministry may not be appreciated by all, but those whom Jehovah deems worthy of eternal life, do appreciate it and answer the call of his Son, who invited them to " come be my follower"

    Jehovah's Witnesses will help millions more to become true Christians and to be followers of our King, Christ Jesus before the great tribulation begins.

    If you read the bible you will see that God has ALWAYS used messengers to do a particular work. Here is a fraction of the list :

    Enoch

    Noah

    Melchizedek

    Abraham

    Isaac

    Jacob

    Moses

    Joshua

    Zechariah

    Samuel

    Hosea etc etc

    It is a privilege that he gives to humans. Also he has created the angels to help out in various duties even though as you say "God can do it all". And the biggie, he created Jesus Christ and thru Jesus everything else was made. Jesus is called the Master Worker ( again, even though Jehovah can do it all himself) jw.org

    Their Bible isn't perverted. Are you a scholar or are you repeating words you have been told by others? True, most JWs aren't scholars either, but since we are on the receiving end of challenges about our Bible, we take the time to thoroughly research it and prove to ourselves that it is accurate.

    Before we had our version, we used the King James Version and others, and were still able to disprove the Trinity, Hellfire, etc.

    2FollowHim-You are fascinated and jealous of our religion. That is why you always focus on us and spread misinformation. You read internet lies about us and pass them on.

    Well, Ted, if you go to that site that Terry kindly provided for your enlightenment and edification, it shows that JWs do not "think He [Jehovah] has a problem in explaining things" at all, given that the NWT rates highly compared to the other versions there.

    That site reveals that the NWT has been rendered closest to the way that Jehovah intended that "things" be explained, does it not?

    The JW cultists list of people who supposedly endorse the JW bible is BOGUS and a scam.

    Many quotes taken completely out of context. Oh and by the way they list Furuli who is a JW.

    How dishonest .

    Recently in the last few years the JWs have been caught red handed twisting other peoples

    words . They had to stop publishing their "Trinity" brochure and now recently had to

    pull their "Divine Name" brochure .For scholastic DISHONESTY .

    I have things also: Jesus forgives sin and heals diseases. He not only took one sin but all upon Himself!? And a created being, susceptible to sin

    then did this? My question is why didn't the first people believe Jesus was God? Why must they believe the Holy Spirit is not God? Jesus says no one comes to the Father but by Him, yet don't they bi pass Jesus with their name? ie. since they say Jehovah is the Father? Isn't it peculiar that until Jesus came, there was no ..Father concept given? And to try to say

    they are Christian when they don't follow Christ?
