I'm not Jehova's Witness, I'm Lutheran... but here are my answers.
1. Man wrote the Bible, but directed by God.
2. Moses was able to speak and (I think) see God on Mount Sinai, and a lot of people saw Jesus, who is God.
3. Another name for God is Jehova. He has other names as well.
4. The Bible tells us to spread His word to others. I believe that although some of their beliefs may not match up with my own, I have respect for them in trying to bring the word of God to others and risk humiliation and disrespect.
5. God created man, starting with Adam.

The bible was written by men inspired by God.
Only the pure in heart shall see God. Adam did not see God he heard God, only the Son have seem Him.
God real name is not Jehovah. His real name cannot be pronounced. He is the Great I AM
The scripture teaches that there is only one true God and he is one that we are to worshiped. He is the creator of the heaven and the earth and the giver of life to all that liveth.
Men have created their own god. IT is called materialism, a false god that have men believe that with things they will be happy. The sad part about all of this is that on the way out they have to leave it all here. There is no negotiation at the day of judgment.
To ask a million questions without want to know the truth is a waste of your time and others. Believe in God is by faith. So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
You cannot believe unless God calls you, and you will not answer until you surrender pride.
P.S. Research the letter J this should help you alot.

1. Man wrote the Bible inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16)
2. Adam never saw God. He heard his voice through angel messengers (Exodus 33:20)
3. God's name is YHWH, Hebrew name fro Yahweh, in English this name was translated as Jehovah. Most Bibles do not use God's name instead they they translate the name of God as Lord (Exodus 3:15)
4. Jehovah God is the only true God, the Almighty God and there i no one like him (1 Corinthians 8:5,6)
5. God created man (Book of Genesis)

I'm not a Jahovah's witness but all I can say is "Read the Bible girl" I think that will answer many of your questions. If it's to long ask a Jahovah's witness to give you a copy of "My Book of Bible Stories" it's a beautiful book. The bible it tells you that gods name is Jahova, he is Jesus's father. The bible says that god created man. And last but not least I don't think that they push your beliefs on others. Of course their may be some but not all. It's a;; up to you I just think that they go out there to teach the people and let them know that about their beliefs. It's up to you if you open the door for them or not.

I'm not a Jehovahs Witness...not in the religious offiliational type sense anyway...but if you don't mind...I'll give it a go.
Over 40 authors wrote the Bible...no one knows fer sure who wrote Job or Hebrews.
No man has ever seen God...one of the biggest indicators of a false doctrinal religion is the belief in an "afterlife". This is not taught in the Bible. Don't believe me...go to biblegateway.com and use the keyword search engine and look up these terms - consume, parish, destroy, destruction, death, hell (actually means grave or to be covered over from the word sheol.) and heaven...also immortal. Only God is immortal.
Jehovah is the English equivalant to the name of God meaning the Godhead of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit being one God...it comes from YHWH which translates roughly to Yod Hey Vav Hey...or Yah'ho vah...see? Just like Jesus is actually Iseus or Yeshua depending on the greek or aramaic but Jesus is His English name. However, the Bible does state that Gods name is Jehovah. Just keyword in that too and it will show you the verses. JW's push their beliefs on others...not all..but some...because they believe that if you don't believe as they do you will go to "hell" and burn for eternity. They believe that Jesus is just a man that has become a "lessor god" but they don't believe that man created Him.
The problem with Jehovah's Witness doctrine is the confession...Jesus Christ is Lord...Jehovah means I AM...Jehovah has been replaced throughout the Bible with the term "lord"..it does not mean the same thing. When you confess that Jesus Christ is Lord...you are confessing that Jesus (one who saves - Yashua) Christ (The Annointed One - Messiah) is Lord ( I Am - self existant one - God). So one is confessing that Jesus is God. JW's don't believe this..they believe He was a created being who was given a godlike status but that Jehovah is the Father God of all creation. The Bible doesn't teach that..."In the Beginning, the Word was with God and the Word was God." Jesus was there in the Garden with Adam and Eve cuz...no man has seen the Father...He was with Moses on Mt. Sinai...cuz..no man has seen the Father...etc. etc. etc. It was through Him, by Him and for Him that all things were made that are made and it is through Him that we live, move and have our being...all taught in scripture. I hope this answers your questions and that you are a Christian asking to try and get JWs to think about this very important doctrinal misunderstanding rather than just picking. Have a nice day! Love in Christ, ~J~

1. Jehovah God caused the Bible to be written by inspiring about 40 different men.
2. No man has seen God, including Adam.
3. Jehovah God himself tells us His name. Psalms 83:18 says, "That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the Earth."
4. It's a common misconception many people hold that we preach to "convert" others to our beliefs. We preach because we have been commanded to by Jesus. And we would continue to preach even if we were certain no one would ever listen. We are there simply to give people that chance. The choice is theirs.
5. Of course, we believe the Bible's account of the creation of man by Jehovah God is the truth.
Any one of Jehovah's Witnesses would be happy to answer, from the Bible, any questions you may have.

1 - Man wrote the bible along with Gods word.
2 - Yes its true that No man has seen Adam, nor do any human see God. God said that if we were to see him, we will die because our flesh cannot contain his glory
3 - Many people say the name Jehovah is not the correct translation. But the funny thing about that is, the name Jehovah is found in just about any Bible.
Exd 17:15
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi: (King James Version)
Exd 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. (King James Version)
4 - Jesus gave us a command to preach to all nations. And the only thing were doing is following Jesus' example/lead.
Matthew 24:14
14 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. (ASV)
Matthew 10
7 "And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
11 "And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you leave that city.
12 "As you enter the house, give it your greeting.
13 "If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.
14 "Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.
(along with many other scriptures)
5 - No man do not create God. The proof of God is the prophecies that have been fulfilled and that are going to be fulfilled later in the future.
I can answer any questions you like, all you have to do is give me a message (which is located on my profile). Im more than happy to discuss the bible with anyone.
