What Can We Learn from the Jehovah's Witnesses ?

Silver Surfer

Now, what 'positive' things can we learn from them ?

I don't want to hear any negative statements about them...as I'm sure they've already been said many times over.

Have they any good points, in any of their doctrines ?

Yes, they do....I want to hear some (other than what I know about them).

For example: Are they closer to true Christianity, then say, the Mormons ?

SS,

Interesting question. Smile

I don't know if you are asking for any comments, or comments from people who aren't Witnesses. If you ask a JW like myself, we believe all our points are "good points".

In your "For example:" question, I would say absolutely. We do not follow a seperate set of scripture which superceeds the Bible. We do not believe sinning was part of God's plan in order for Adam to have children.

Your question seems to be aimed at those who aren't JW's. So I won't delve further at this point. Cool

hmmm, lets see...

Dude, you need to read more on the Mormons ... Man if I knew who your Fellowship Hall leader was, I'd have to have a chat with them so they can teach ya what ya need to know about that crazy cult.

For you to ask out in this forum what WE thought who was closer to Biblical standards ... shows me sadly that you need to learn a lot ...

Once you research the mormons, I know you wont ask such a crazy thing again ..lol

For my answer .. the JW's are by far closer than anything the Mormons can do

The point is that you are not to judge anyone unless you want to be judged. I don't really care what the mormans do because it does not affect me. I just think that this post is about looking at the positive of another religion and that is how we should be. SS is not a JW and has a great thought to look at the good with them and not the bad. This should be done with every type of religion that involes Christ. He came to save us and God is the only one who knows the entire truth. So no of us should ever think that we are right and others wrong because you are putting yourself in Gods place.

SS, you and everyone on this site is sharing their religion with others. This is a good thing but we should never think that we are 100% right because are we completely sure that we are.

Revelation 2:20
Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
