@meshel2012 Meshel..Humility is a fine christian quality. There is no need to excuse you for being honest of heart. Yes, there are a lot of twists, but only if we allow them. There are many scriptures that are open to interpretation, however if the interpretation is in direct conflict to other scriptures that are direct in what they say, then the interpreted scriptures can easily become misinterpretations. If a scripture can be interpreted in more than one way, then it is wise to take each
King James Version (KJV) 19God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? You are correct, excuse my error.
1Sam15:29 & Hosea11:9 There is one God the father. Jesus came to the earth so that we would have salvation through God and circumcission of the heart. The is a lot of twists and we must work out our salvation through the Lord.
@meshel2012 Jesus Christ our Lord and God??? Funny. I could swear I just read that Jesus himself said that he was created. If Jesus was created, I guess that kinda messes your theory up doesn't it? You would have been finely accepted amongst the pagans of ancient Sumaria, ancient Egypt, ancient greece and early Rome because that's what they all taught, and in the same words that you explain it..isn't that exciting?
@hamptonsjoy Actually, that's exactly what Christianity does. In all it's forms. Christian moderates like to believe otherwise, but that's precisely why they're called "moderates". Even as an atheist, I can see that the Witnesses adhere to the Bible more so than most other sects of Christianity.
You can't base an entire religion on the actions of your uncle. That's simply short-sighted and intellectually immature.
@SixStringDeity Jude 1 Read the whole thing. Without Watchower publications, better yet read the entire bible in spirit and truth from begining to end, and do not depend on the word of man. Pray to Jesus Christ our Lord God and ask him to reveal himself to you. Don't hide behind false religion.
@SixStringDeity If the shoe fits. Would you defend the organizations they denounce? All you have to do is look at the origins of Christmas and see how many Christians refuse to practice. Baptists in the South also believe no other Christians are true. Revelation 17 calls out the end of religion. Romans 1:21-32 explains what happens when people remove religion. I am not practicing, but I watch and see they are right, I simply do not feel it in my heart.
@hamptonsjoy Sadly many JW's do not practice what the organization preaches. There have been many articles and talks reminding JW's not to forget their families who are non-members. Obviously there was a need to address the situation and they have, but many believe they know what is best. More people are stumbled by other people than the doctrine. I am not a JW, was studying with them a while back(Father was one who ignored his family as a JW). They do preach what the Bible says.

@SixStringDeity I encourage you to keep reading and seeking the truth, as a student of Jw I can assure you they are the truth, without thought.

@hamptonsjoy Are they Perfect?. No its process to become a True Christian.
Plus JW don't just call anyone Christians like Christendom does.
