Is Jahovah's witness is a cult?

Question

ALL THE FOUNDER'S PROPHECIES WERE PROVED INCORRECT.HE HIMSELF WAS A MAN OF IMMORAL

Answer 1

I have never heard of the founder referred to as being immoral. I think he had good intentions, he just didn't agree with the common understanding of the bible.

However, the watchtower society that was founded based on his teachings has on occasion made statements or predictions that did not prove true and the organization had to do some shift of policy to compensate for that. The watchtower has distanced itself from many teachings of its founder!!!

The JW church has its own bible which is quite different from the King James and they are not willing to clarify how they obtained the translations that supposedly found numerous "mistakes" in the King James bible.

They go to libraries and move books that expose fallacies in their teachings so the average person cannot find them to read but they never read them for themselves.

They are totally focused on the name of Jehovah in reference to God. The odd thing about that is the word Jehovah appeared nowhere in the Greek writings that would make up the New Testament. They had to add that word to their bible, the New World Translations. Jesus used the Aramaic word "Eli" in reference to His Father just before He expired on the cross, not Jehovah.

They slowly convince new converts to abandon family and friends who might lead them away from the JW teachings, so I am not comfortable with the policies of JW or watchtower. I hope any JW who reads this post will not be offended but rather be open minded enough to examine if my words are true.
If my words are true you need to examine where you are going with your spiritual life.

Failed Prophecies - Jehovah's Witnesses have calculated many dates which were meant to invite extraordinary events. Five times the start of Armageddon has been predicted by Jehovah's Witnesses; their predictions were proven wrong each of those times. They still hold fast to the date of 1914 in which Jesus Christ returned invisibly to earth, but admit erring in their calculations (1914, 1918, 1920, 1925, and 1941) for Armageddon. (Kephart and Zellner, p. 291, Religious Tolerance Page).

Answer 2

Since you cannot spell, I assume you are speaking of Jehovah's Witnesses, also show me someone in this world that does not make mistakes, you read about it all the time, a Minister commits or becomes an adulterer, steals from congregation, I assume these things are okay in your religion.

JW's are in 235 lands & islands, we respect the flag of each country unlike most christian religions, Why do you think, the prisons are full of so-called Christians, why is it that so-called Christians are the ones that "burn, spit, step on the "flag" and show disrespect not only to the flag but to the country they live in?
Is it because of people that could care less about
God's rules that are layed out in the Bible?

I can think of a President of the U.S.A. that saluted or said the pledge of allegiance every day, yet He had to leave office because of wrong doing, and the deliberate act of deviating from the truth. So the saluting and pledge is not what makes you a good person, it's obeying God's Word, that does.

The Witnesses’ beliefs, based entirely on God’s Word, the Bible, prevent them from falling into the trap of becoming a sect or a cult. They take a kindly interest in all other people, of whatever religious persuasion. No, they do not try to force these people to change their viewpoint. They endeavor to imitate their Leader, Christ Jesus, by presenting Scriptural evidence of the trouble-free Paradise that will soon be established on earth.—Matthew 28:19, 20; 1 Peter 2:21.

Answer 3

If you want to go to Hell, the quickest way is to join JW.

I have been told by their harassers that only 144,000 people will be saved. With 7 millon members at this time,, and all the members in the past, and more to come in the future, few JW are going to be saved.

I would rather join a church that says everyone can be saved.

Answer 4

Yes they are a Cult, I should know cause I use to attend Kingdom Hall and I use to believe their Teachings.

Answer 5

Can you give us any examples of his prophecies and how they were proved incorrect? Just saying so doesn't make it true.
