Jehovah's Witnesses believe that God is all-powerful. They do believe that his quality of love and gift of free will can only be reconciled by reasoning that God must purposely restrict his own foreknowledge of certain events. For example, Witnesses believe that Jehovah chose not to look into the future to see whether or not Adam and Eve would be faithful.

Here we go again, about JW's Bible, we use a modern translation, it is much easier to read and understand.
If someone wants to have a study, we will use their Bible regardless of which one it is, King James, Catholic, American Standard, etc, etc.
You can get the Truth from any Bible. To your ???, yes we do.
Jehovah is “the One telling from the beginning the finale, and from long ago the things that have not been done; the One saying, ‘My own counsel will stand, and everything that is my delight I shall do.’” (Isaiah 46:10) What other god can compare to Jehovah in this regard? The ability to predict the future is an outstanding proof of the Creator’s Godship. However, it takes more than foresight to ensure the fulfillment of things that are foretold. The declaration “my own counsel will stand” stresses the unchangeableness of God’s established purpose. Since Jehovah has unlimited power, nothing in the universe can prevent him from accomplishing his will. (Daniel 4:35) Therefore, we can be certain that any prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled will indeed come true in God’s due time.—Isaiah 55:11.

Jehovah's witnesses are just as Christians...it was in the late 70's i believe they chose that name for the congregation, because God's name is Jehovah , and they are witnessing his name.....
Therefore the name Jehovah's witnesses, were born and there beliefs are pretty much those of Hebrew, standards....

on the contrary, jehovahs witnesses are not the same as christians, mormons, wiccans, or any other theology.
they believe there is a god, but they have false information that they get their ideas from.
they tweak their bibles so the 'bible' says what Jehovah's witnesses want the bible to say. this is not the same Bible that catholics, baptist, mennonites, etc read and believe in.

Yes they do. I believe that other religions have the same belief.
They are Christians and follow the Bible, trust in Gods word, and meet weekly like other religions.

They are Christians. As are the Mormons and Quakers and Seventh Day Adventists.
