Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses do not follow the Bible as their ultimate standard. They've chosen to change the Bible to fit what they want to believe. They have their own translation for this purpose.
Mormons have also supplanted the ultimate authority of the Bible with an addition to the Bible called the Book of Mormon. And so again, the Bible is not their ultimate authority.
Catholicism have also added to the the Bible and call the Pope their ultimate authority on earth.
All of these faiths reject all other faiths. Protestantism is different in these few facts. 1. The Bible is the standard by which all other spiritual contributions are measured. 2. Christ is the center of the Bible. Everything that happened before His birth points to Him, and everything that happened after Him points back to Him. 3. We must accept that Christ rose from the dead because without this, there is no promise or hope for us to rise from the dead. 4. We cannot earn our salvation because we are of a fallen nature. 5. We commit ourselves to live as He desires because of our love for Him and gratitude for His sacrifice.
Baptists, Lutherans, Assembly of God, etc., etc., accept each other as Christians based on these few basic requirements of faith as laid out in the Bible. We criticize only those Churches who've decided to remake God into their image. This is not to say that someone cannot become a Christian in these other churches, only that it is more difficult to recognize and accept Christ in them.

Mormons do not believe Jehovah's Witnesses are going to Hell. They believe all mankind will be judged according to what laws they were given in this life. A good Jehovah's witness could obtain heaven although they would need to accept further truths in this life or the next.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe Mormons are going to Hell unless they become an active Jehovah's Witness.

Jehovah's Witnesses teach that even Jehovah's Witnesses go to "hell" when they die.
Hell is NOT someplace/something we need to fear; there is no suffering in the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and hell will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire
Interestingly, more than 99.9% (a literal percentage) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect to be resurrected to eternal life on a restored paradise earth, rather than to heaven.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

Nope. I am LDS (Mormon), and we don't believe they are going to hell. We actually believe that all good people will go to heaven. The only difference is, we believe in levels of glory, or heavens I guess. Faithful members of the Mormon church go to the Celestial kingdom (the highest level). Here is a brief description of each::
In the Celestial Kingdom-the highest degree of glory, people have the opportunity to enter into the exalted state of Godhood. In the presence of God the Father, they will live in family units and continue to have children after the resurrection
In the Terrestrial Kingdom-the next highest degree of glory, people do not have the opportunity to enter into the exalted state of Godhood. While they do not dwell in the presence of God the Father, the inhabitants of this kingdom do receive the ministrations of Jesus Christ-the second member of the Godhead.
In the Telestial Kingdom-the lowest degree of glory, while the inhabitants do not receive the ministrations of Jesus Christ or enjoy the presence of God the Father, they do enjoy the companionship of the Holy Ghost-the third member of the Godhead.[

No. They will not go to Hell. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, aka mormon. We believe that if you follow your religion, and do what you believe to be right, you will go to heaven. It is up to God to judge, not us. I don't know what Jehovah Witnesses believe, so I can't answer for them.

Because you don't believe in it doesn't mean it isn't real. I have spoken to Jehovah Witness members. I feel much anguish for them. To have heard of and to know who Jesus Christ is and then to deny him, and add that he morphed into being Jesus from the Archangel Michael is just going around the bend. I pray thay all wake up and that none go to Hell.

I know that Mormon's don't believe that....but I think the Jehovah Witnesses believe that all are doomed unless they belong to their religion.

i'm a JW yet I genuinely have in no way had Mormons call at my door (and that i'm sixty 2). in the experience that they did i'd take care of them as i'd opt to be treated even as i visit doorways. i'd invite them in and furnish them a drink (water, espresso, tea, etc) i'd pay interest and ask questions etc. even as i replaced into in my young ones I had a bible study who were called on with the help of the Mormons. She prepared for us and them to be at her living house mutually. She keen to proceed her study and later grew to grow to be a Jehovah's Witness. I are conscious of it ought to not continually finally end up this way yet that replaced into my journey.
