Jehovah's Witnesses preach a message of "good news", and will conduct a personal home bible study with any sincere person.
Jehovah's Witnesses leave all judging for Jehovah and Jesus to perform "on the last day". Witnesses understand that Jehovah and Jesus handle each person individually.
(Acts 10:36,42) Declare to them the good news of peace through Jesus Christ: this One is Lord of all others. ...this is the One decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead
(John 11:23-25) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” 24 Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life.
(John 12:48-49) The word that I [Jesus] have spoken is what will judge [a person] in the last day; 49 because I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment
(John 8:16) if I do judge, my judgment is truthful, because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me
(Matthew 12:36) They will render an account concerning it on Judgment Day
(John 5:22,27-30) [The Father] has committed all the judging to the Son... 27 And he has given him authority to do judging, because Son of man he is. 28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out... I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
(Acts 17:30-31) God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent. 31 Because he has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man [Jesus] whom he has appointed
Witnesses believe that their organization is unique in doing Jehovah's will and so AS A GROUP Jehovah's Witnesses enjoy unique blessings, such as a global "spiritual paradise" (of understanding and association) which is different from the literal paradise which will cover the earth after Armageddon.

Dear Melanie,
The jws will NOT help you study the Word of the awesome uncreated Creator of the universe.
They WILL help you study the Watchtower book that was written by people who are not Hebrew or Greek scholars.
Read a Bible like The Daily Walk Bible which is designed to help people read the entire Bible in 1 year. It would be a great thing to start beginning on January 1, 2007.
I call your attention to Deuteronomy 18:20-22. Those verses are warning you, me and everybody against listening to false prophets.

If you're going to speak with Jehovah's Witnesses you're going to discover that they've very powerful religion in Jesus. Salvation is not possible with out religion in Jesus Acts four:12 says "there isn't a different identify beneath heaven that has been given amongst guys through which we need to get stored". As Christ fans we complete fill the preaching venture that Jesus gave to his disciples at Matthew 28:19,20 Jesus set the sample and he informed and despatched out his disciples in companies of 2.By your possess commentary Jehovah's Witnesses are one of the crucial pleasant,beneficiant and powerful individuals. What makes us this fashion? We reside by means of one million John five:three - Because we like Jehovah his commandments aren't burdensome.So we make a entire hearted attempt to reside consistent with the bible in all points in lifestyles. John thirteen:34,35 - Christ disciples could be recognized by means of the affection that they confirmed. Many individuals feel given that we name ourselves Jehovah's Witness that we don't feel in Jesus. That isn't actual. We are Witnesses of Jesus heavenly father Jeehovah. The one that despatched his son to the earth so that we would reap permanent lifestyles - John three:sixteen

I am sure that they will. If you want an honest Bible study, you are best to look elsewhere.
They believe that they will remain in paradise because the leaders have told them that. The earth wasn't supposed to be here long enough for them to get 144,000 members and they got more than that. The Bible on the other hand says that when we die, we are with the Lord in heaven.

Jehovah does the judging thru his son Jesus,
Jesus said his word would do the judging in the last days.
John 12:47 But if anyone hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I came, not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that disregards me and does not receive my sayings has one to judge him. The word that I have spoken is what will judge him in the last day;
Everyone is judged by the same word, so if you are not living by that word, then you will not be saved.
You have to ask yourself which organization, which people are known for living by the Jesus' words?
If someone comes to your door with a bible,
If ask someone a question and they turn to the bible to give you an answer.
Which organization would you believe this person to be?
Jehovah's Witnesses

Jehovah's Witnesses would love to study the Bible with you. God has always chosen a channel to work through to reach all people on the earth and He has drawn everyone who was willing to listen to Him and obey to that people/person. First, he chose Noah and only those who listened to God's words through him survived. Then, He chose the nation of Israel and He blessed them by giving them his laws and offering them all the benefits as His chosen ones. Unfortunately, they kept following after idols and other Gods and finally, they rejected the very one God sent to fulfill the law, Jesus Christ. Now, God has chosen spritual Israel to replace natural Israel. He is drawing all right-hearted ones to Himself through this channel now. He is calling them out of Babylon the Great (the world empire of false religion) for survival.

They're "willing" to help, but they can't. They, like many religious councils, and denominations, have added their own commentary to the old and new testaments. They have several "translations" of their own bible.
Beware of any group of people that tell you that they're the only true Christians. Mormons, catholic, adventist, and protestant group, it makes no difference.
Beware of any group of people that blindly follow the leader.
Seek ye out of the book of The Lord, and read. old testament, Isaiah 34: 16.
Finding out which book is the true book of The Lord is easier than people know: It is anti-slavery, and Jesus is exalted.
The true bible would not call a person who serves God a slave. The book of Exodus, any one?
Well, being brain-washed into a cult is slavery. Slavery is an abomination in the sight of God and man.
Know that there is no original bible anywhere on this earth for any one to find it.
It has been in our language for 500 years at least. It is a joke for people to keep re-translating it. and the watchtower society(the witnesses) do it all the time.
Every bible published before the 1870s had these words in it: God was manifest in the flesh. In the true bible, the Messiah Jesus is The God of heaven.
One thing I think will help you is to know that the bible is not a modern book, and will not be in modern language.
The word thou was in every old english bible printed before the 18th and 19th century. Several old words like hast, hath, wouldest, and shouldest are in them. Those hard words are only used in talking to or about an individual person. Often that individual is God himself.
Jehovah is a name of God in the old testament. That is true enough.
But a person cannot be witness if they have seen nothing.
If you believe that you should study more often, and make time for God, you have the help you need right there. Your desire to make time for God will help you learn God's words from God himself.
You don't need to surrender your God-given judgment, ethics, or intelligence to any group of people at all. An anti-slavery bible is just what you need.
Most of these "bible only" so-called organizations don't know anything more about the subject than any one on the street does.
The old king james bible is public domain, any one who wants a copy can get one.
Nobody has to bow down to any organization.
Study at your own speed, think for yourself, and may Jesus grant you his understanding and knowledge.

Just a little advice on learning about God go to a baptist church for a while and learn the word of God they are good teachers. Then go to a assemble of God church for a while and learn about the holy spirit. Then go to work being a servant on the kingdom.
As far as the Jehovah Witnesses go, If you want to learn about taxes you would go to a tax specialist or a accountant. If you want to learn about satan go to a Jehovah Witness church because he is fully in charge in the Jehovah Witness church. These nuts are as decieved as it gets. They have false prophets and have from there very first years. They pervert every part of the bible even to the changing of the words in the bible and even denounce the cross of Christ. Like i said they are decieved.

No thats not true, whoever told you that is a liar! They are just screwing you up, because there is the holy trinity which is the father (jehova), the son (jesus), and the holy spirit. And Jesus said "im the way, the light, and the truth and no one comes to the father but by me" So there aint no Jehova witnesses, they are just messing people up, in my opinio you shouldnt listen or let them teach you but thats on you..... hope u have the wisdom to make good descions.
