Which do you choose?

Answer 1

Bible.

Answer 2

I see you are an apostate.
You know that our religion is bible based and that the WATCHTOWER IS A MAGAZINE DEDICATED TO GOD AND THAT OUR KING IS JESUS.

Magazines are meant for education. They are responsible for the spread of knowledge that benefits mankind.
For example, the blood issue. The Watchtower editors send out people who do a great deal of research on the findings of others both in science and medicine.
They do not originate the materials, and occasionally they warn us of problems we wouldn't find anywhere else.

I should also note here that the primary work of the Watchtower is that of teaching what the bible says.
It brings about a better understanding of what is IN the Bible....It is not and never has been a substitute for the bible.

It should be noted too, that many preachers use the Watchtower for a basis for their sermons.
(We have been told about instances where people have heard such sermons and recognized the articles.)

Answer 3

The Bible has always been our main text book.

Our understanding of the Bible and other things has been progressive. As we learn, we adjust. Did you know that Jehovah's Witnesses used to celebrate Christmas? However, after much research, it was discovered to be a pagan holiday. So Christmas and other holidays were rejected?

Is your church just as diligent? Do you still celebrate Christmas, although it is pagan? If you claim to be Christian, do you adorn your church building with the cross, although it is a pagan symbol that predates Christianity by thousands of years?

Do you worship a triune God, although your reference books openly admit it is not a Bible teaching? For instance: A Protestant publication states: "The word Trinity is not found in the Bible . . . It did not find a place formally in the theology of the church till the 4th century." (The Illustrated Bible Dictionary) And a Catholic authority says that the Trinity "is not . . . directly and immediately [the] word of God."—New Catholic Encyclopedia.

So, do you still teach the trinity, or have you rejected it as a false doctrine?

So, when you point an accusing finger at us, how many fingers are pointing back at you?

Answer 4

the bible
the `watchtower is only a study aid

Answer 5

You don't know much about JW's. They use their own translation of the Bible. That ought to tell you something.
