that is easy. we are a worldwide brother and sisterhood in 236 lands. we are not called watchtowers. we are Jehovah Witnesses. we are the only ones that use Jehovah's name and preach the good news. we follow Jesus Christ command at Matthew 28 verse 19 and 20. the king james bible took Jehovah's name out and put in Lord. Lord is a title not God's name

There are no true religions. Religion is man made. However some do come close. Look for an assembly that is biblically based. It will not be a mega church because a mega church lends its self to corruption and a Nicolation government. Look for a small congregation usually without their own building. They will either be renting from another church or be a home fellowship. Look for preaching elders and an elder led assembly as opposed to a top down one man in charge group. Stay away from corporations. They will hold the bible as the ultimate authority.

since every religion teaches something a little different and all humans are imperfect, we can only study the Bible and find the religion that is closest to what the Bible teaches (well, we would want to use the Bible if we recognize that Christ was sent to earth by God and we understand Christ's teachings as being the perfect answer to mankinds problems)

here are some questions to ponder when looking for that imperfect human organization that Christ identifies as his "one flock":

“the only true God” (John 17:3) is a God of organization. The order of the universe attests to this. Christ said he would gather together “one flock” (John 10:16) and indeed they should be united and “all speak in agreement” (1 Corinthians 1:10) throughout every single country over the entire planet!
Heb 10:24, 25
2 Cor 6:15-18
1 Peter 2:17
Acts 15:14-18
Acts 15:22-31
Acts 16:4, 5
Eph 4:11-16
Titus 1:5
1Ti 3:1-13
1Pe 5:2, 3
Joshua 23:2
Acts 14:23
Acts 20:28
1 Cor 11:3
Psalms 133:1

so, it would be good to try to find the largest organization of Christians who follow the teachings God has given us in the Bible; namely an organization that

has not erased the Divine name of Christ's Heavenly Father from the Bible
John 17:26

who recognize that Yhshua/Jesus *always* glorified his Heavenly Father and prayed to Him

Also, see Acts 3:13 and Philippians 2:6

who believes Yhshua/Jesus words at John 20:17 and Revelation 3:12

who believe Yhshua/Jesus own words and the teachings of his Apostles when they clearly say that Yhshua/Jesus is *not* equal to his Heavenly Father YHWH/Jehovah
John 20:17

which every single baptized Christian refuses to have anything to do with politics and voting for leaders of the various Kingdoms of Satan’s world. God has promised to destroy *every* Kingdom on Earth and install His righteous Kingdom to rule over the entire Earth so why would we vote for that which God promises to destroy? Christ says give Caesar his tax money and obey the law as long as it does not conflict with God’s law (which includes the law to ’not kill’ another human) but beyond paying our taxes and obeying the law, why would we support what God will destroy?

where they do not constantly ask for donations or pass a plate around and where all donated money *never* goes toward purchasing any *individual's* personal house or toward the purchase of a car or lavish material posessions for any *individual*
Romans 12:1

there should be only *one* united worldwide imperfect human flock that fits *ALL* of these

why?
Because Christ has only *one* true, global flock. See John 10:16
It is no wonder that his “one flock” should be *very* different from the 100s of divided religions of Satan’s world.

agape!

Logic dictates that there is not a single "one true religion." For example, consider the following:

God is infinite.

History is filled with religions that have risen, had millions of followers, and then declined (ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, the Aztecs, the Mayans, etc.). Therefore, religion is finite.

Since the finite cannot contain the infinite, God is not a part of any "one true religion."

I'm open-minded and free for further discussion via e-mail if you're interested.

Jehovah's Witnesses is the 1 true religion.

All religions are man made. So is the concept that you know your god as. Therefore it is all flawed and cannot be the only true religion. To think that just because you created one religion it is the be all end all is arrogant.

There may well be only one true religion but there is NO way to know which one that is. Just because something is in the bible does not make it fact.

LOL.

You think your religion is the one true one. Some guy in Saudi Arabia thinks theirs is the true one. Repeat... until you get hundreds of people, maybe thousands, thinking their religion, or their version of a religion is the only one true one.

Of course, none of these people have evidence for this belief. And whoever claims to have evidence for one religion should know that someone else is using that same evidence for their religion! Jesus heals cancer, yet so does Allah and Vishnu and Thor and the Mountain Spirit!

So question asker, you have it backwards, you need to explain to us (us being everyone who doesn't believe what you do) why we should believe you.

Does the bible say One religion? It says that you will know them by their fruits..that is correct..and the other things that you mentioned as well..But..does it say One religion? Maybe this is saying you will know who a Christian is in general..you will be able to know who has accepted Christ into their lives..?

Wake up and smell the roses!..it's not the Watchtower Society. To start with, "Jehovah" is not the name of God and the WTS clearly and voluntarily accepts it on the Appendix of the "New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures". So, even the name "Jehovah Witness" it's based on a lie.
