Christians follow the risen savior. We hear him speak to us. Jesus said my sheep know my voice. Notice the wording of that. And real christian to indeed hear Jesus speak to them. Jesus priesthood and his kingdoms are eternal. Thus they can't pass away. Jesus is the one mediator between God and man. The chruch always is subject to his truth. Jesus is human and God. He is not a angle. The word of God actually teaches us that in the latter times people will want us to worship angles. WJs teach that jesus is just a angle named michael. Odd thing is Jesus said i am the father if you have seen me you have seent he father. Jesus also said all whom the father give to me are mine, So 144,000 is not the limit of his kingdom, For the word of God said his kingdom is with out end. Salvation is a product of the blood of Christ. The JWs no longer point to the blood they actually deney it finished work. So the difference between a christian and a JWs is a christian is saved a JW is not.

While I appreciate your efforts, there are more salient differences between JW and mainstream Christian thought which more people could relate to. For example, JW's have claimed several times to know when the End of Days would come; when Scripture clearly says that none but the Father may know this. They teach that wordly efforts (such as selling subscriptions to the Watchtower) can bring salvation, when Christ clearly taught that this could only happen by Grace. When confronted about their errors (such as several predicted Doomsdays that haven't come true), they teach that God allows them to proclaim falsely; but we all know that God cannot be a deceiver, and His people are taught not to lie. And so on.
And, not meaning to be unkind, but it would help if your work were more clearly written.

Jesus NEVER said "I am the Father". He said "he who has seen the Father has seen me also" which is something completely different. But Jesus never once claimed to be the Father. I'd like to see the mysterious scripture you are referring to. Is it John 14:28? No, that couldn't be it,because there Jesus says "The Father is greater than I".

Wow. What a load. The principle of being "Saved" is so funny to me. Many seem to claim that if they do a certain act they are then saved. In the Bible we see accounts of faithful men who turned away from Jehovah. Case in point King David. HE while once faithful went so far as to kill a man so he could take bathsheba. Was he considered Saved at this point. NO.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not worship angles, and do not believe that Jesus is or was an angle. Of course, the Scriptures plainly teach that Jesus was and is the "Chief of the Angels".

Would that be 45 degree angles, 60 degree angles, or 90 degree angles?
