Both of these man-made religions are dangerous tools that quote scripture from time to time when it's convenient. What many don't understand is that satan can do more with these groups than atheists. They are very broad in their beliefs.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Matt 7:13 (KJV)
Jesus clearly explains here that many people will go the broad route (yes, the word of God says that, but- ). This is clearly not a path to salvation. One big mistake- trusting man. People actually bow to the Pope, and Jehovah Witnesses warn against paganism like Christmas- but they were created by a pagan- Charles Taze Russell, a high-ranking secret society member in a satanic cult.
Catholics seek to communicate with the dead, and posses and incorporate graven art into the religion.
Jehovah Witnesses quote Jesus but deny Him as the son of God and the true path to salvation.

The premise of this so-called "question" is patently false.
The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses (the full name of the religion) teaches that Christ Jesus was and is divine and of the same nature as God.
Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe!
Jehovah's Witnesses love and respect and honor Christ. However, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him
Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

This question is based on false information regarding the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses. We certainly do not deny that Jesus is the Son of God. We also recognize that salvation can only come through Jesus.
And as for your claim that Brother Russell was "a high-ranking secret society member in a satanic cult" -ridiculous!
You may benefit from further research into our beliefs. The official website of the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses is: http://www.watchtower.org/

I'm neither a Catholic nor a Jehovah's Witness. I don't know much about Jehovah's Witnesses, but I take offense to your statement about Catholics. Catholics are essentially Christians. When I was in seventh grade, I went to a Catholic School. It was in that educational environment that I learned the Lord's Prayer, and went to church regularly, and had my spiritual growth fostered by very generous, kind-hearted nuns who were devoted whole-heartedly to the Lord. I have a hard time believing they were the tools of the Devil, because if they were, Satan would be rendered completely powerless.

Satan's tools are the ones who criticize something they don't understand making claims they know are false, but think they are doing Christ's work, when in reality, they drive people away from him. Deny Christ is the Son of God? Boy, you are so far off the path they will need to send out search dogs.

Hi, not sure where you got your information but I will help clear things up. You are right that we Witnesses do quote the Bible and Christ however you are wrong about our view on Jesus. As anyone who has talked with us/asked us about him knows, we recognise Jesus as the son of God and that salvation comes through him.
Hi, I just got your message stating that you feel Jesus is God. I am now confused. You say that one problem with my beliefs as a Witness is that I supposedly do not believe him to be God's son, if that were the case, I would be more in line with your beliefs.

Satan's greatest tool is thinking you're way is the best way.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Catholicism predate any other branch of Christianity by more than 1000 years?
It sounds more like you're preaching the typical "My religion is better than yours~" rhetoric. News for you: all religion is man-made regardless of whether it is truly divinely inspired or not.

Mat 7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
There are over 2 billion people worldwide identify themselves with Christianity but only 6 million who follow Christ directions.
>Jehovah Witnesses quote Jesus but deny Him as the son of God and the true path to salvation.
Incorrect.
Jesus IS the son of God, not God himself.
Mat 27:43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

Do you not read Y!A forum before asking this type of questions? There are about 6,700,000 Jehovah's Witnesses deligently doing the will of the Father world wide day and night (compare to the world populations of more than 6 billions not doing the will of the Father but going about their normal lives; eating, drinking, sleeping around). When comparing the beliefs of Jehovah's Witness and other Christians, Jehovah's Witness is in fact, traveling on the narrow road; never the broad and spacious road. They are fulfilling Jesus' commands Matt. 28:19, 20, and Matt. 24:14.
We as Jehovah's Witnesses never deny Jesus as the Son of God. As matter of fact, without accepting Jesus and his ransom sacrified, we are Jehovah's Nothing (get it?) What we never do is to believe Jesus is God or equal to God. Jesus will always be the son of Jehovah God because Jehovah created him personally as the firstborn of all creations. (Col 1:15) Without Jehovah God, there's no Jesus or us. But without Jesus, there's always Jehovah God.
Broad and spacious road = I don't steal; I don't commit crimes; I give to the poor; accept Jesus as a savior; go to church whenever or every Sunday; seek God's kingdom and I follow my heart.
Narrow road = Love God with all our hearts, souls, minds, strenghts; love our neighbors as ourselves; seek God's kingdom and His RIGHTEOUSNESS. -Matt 6:33.
When we seek God's RIGHTEOUSNESS, we need to make changes in our lives to fit God's righteous standards not bending God's righteous standards to fit our lives.
