all three of you have you own new bibles, tracks and interesting teaching today. In the bible there is a interesting Writing called Galatians. Galations 6 speak directly to the church and faiths that are formed by angels speaking to people and people who buy into the false teaching of this angle.
Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any
******
other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Can you explain to me how your faith is not subject to this curse?

Notice the word "pervert" the gosple of Christ. This is why people are upset with you. You have perverted the gosple and preach another Gosple, this leads people to hell and of course no christian is going to like that.

I feel my faith, that is being a Witness, is in no way cursed or condemned by Jehovah as we follow the Bible as best we can. People love to tear down our Bible and our attempts to follow it. I have seen some on here claim that unless it is a King James it is not true. I think some people forget that all Bible translations are just that TRANSLATIONS. We do not pervert scriptures. If we were interested in doing so, would we not change the scriptures to allow more convienant and unChristian beliefs. We strive to avoid what is bad. Look at Christmas. When we realised that it was a PAGAN teaching we changed our ways. How did we learn this? From studying the Bible. Any other publications we produce are based on the Bible.

How about you read the rest of the Bible?
How about you follow what it says about peace, love and understanding?
how about you look at where it says that the BEST thing that you can do for yourself and your soul (and therefore God) is "to do unto others as they would have do unto you"?
How would you like it if you were condemned by an ignoramous who hated you (because you believed the Bible) because their religion said that the Bible was a load of claptrap?
huh?
The ideas that you espouse in your question and the underpinning reasons are irrational and very dangerous. They're one of the reasons that got us imbroiled in the oh-so-stupid war that's going on in the Middle East, amongst other things.
Hitler and Stalin said much the same things that you're saying - they simply used different books to justify their hatred and intolerance. Look where that got us!

Jehovah's Witnesses are happy to use any bible translation! Jehovah's Witnesses were preaching their entire belief system for decades before "New World Translation" was published.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not pretend (and never have) that they receive special messages of instruction from God or Christ or angels. Instead, they look to the bible as their only authority and pray for holy spirit as they perform sincere bible research. Jehovah's Witnesses have NO SACRED TEXT besides the bible, and they do not pretend that one translation enjoys special inspiration above another.
When Jehovah's Witnesses teach, it is from whatever bible a householder wishes to bring to his door. Their "gospel" is the good news of God's Kingdom by Christ. Does Christendom teach that the "gospel" (which literally means "good news") concerns "the Kingdom of God" as a real government which will really solve mankind's real problems?
(Matthew 24:14) this good news OF THE KINGDOM
(Matthew 4:23) the good news OF THE KINGDOM
(Matthew 9:35) the good news OF THE KINGDOM
(Mark 1:14,15) the good news of God ...and the KINGDOM of God
(Luke 4:43) the good news OF THE KINGDOM of God
(Luke 8:1) the good news OF THE KINGDOM of God
(Luke 16:16) the KINGDOM of God is being declared as good news
(Acts 8:12) the good news of the KINGDOM of God
(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite
So if non-Witness Christendom insists it uniquely follows Christ, why does it almost universally ignore the plainly commanded work of preaching from home to home?
(Matthew 28:19-20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is summarized in the following:
"And this is my doctrine, and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto me; and I bear record of the Father, and the Father beareth record of me, and the Holy Ghost beareth record of the Father and me; and I bear record that the Father commandeth all men, everywhere, to repent and believe in me. And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God." (3 Nephi 11:32-33). Sounds exactly like the same doctrine in Acts 2:38 in the Bible regarding the necessity of faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, and baptism. I think the Gospel is a doctrine and not a book, so the same doctrine is in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Have a happy day, and I send you a gummy bear.
