Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses worship Almighty Jehovah, the Most High God whom Jesus Christ described as "Heavenly Father".

By contrast, most (not all) "Brethren" religions believe the Trinity and Mormon religions believe that Jesus is Jehovah. Both Mormons and Brethren believe in hellfire and the immortality of the soul, while Jehovah's Witnesses believe such ideas to be unscriptural.

Jehovah's Witnesses are relatively unique among self-described Christians in that they understand the Scriptures to teach that God's Kingdom by Christ Jesus is a real government which will soon replace all earthly governments.
(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

That Kingdom will rule over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.
(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire

While a limitted number of humans will be resurrected to heaven to share in ruling over mankind, the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]

Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

Answer 2

All three are very different. I can't say much about the Plymouth Brethren. But The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ("Mormons") believe a God with a physical body and worship him, and a separate person of Jesus with his resurrected Body. The the Holy Ghost which is still a Spirit. The Jehovah's Witnesses Believe that "Jehovah God" is a spirit. His second coming is past but since he is a spirit, no one saw it. Both don't recognize a man made, committee decision, of the Trinity of the Nicene Creed.

That's a start anyway.

Answer 3

I can only answer for Jehovah's Witnesses as I am one. We only worship Jehovah God, He is the Sovereign of the Universe, the I Am, The Almighty, our Creator. In most Bibles He is only called God. He has a personal name like you and I do and Jesus Christ said to make His name known in all the earth.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) AKA Mormons- Worship Jesus Christ. You can learn more about the LDS church at www.MOrmon.org

JW's I believe Worship Jesus too- But since I am not JW I can't really speak for them.

I am not sure who Plymouth Brethren are, I have never heard of that group.

Answer 7

Honestly, I don't think I have ever heard of PBs before. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

We as Christians, worship God. We believe in following the Bible and the teachings found in it. We believe that his son Jesus came to the Earth to teach and as a ransom sacrifice. These are the bare bones basics. If you want a more detailed answer, or want specific queries answered I suggest you find a local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and ask away. This way you know you are talking with a Witness, if you want you can even talk with one of us face to face, Bible in hand, so that you know where the answers are coming from.

If that isn't an option you can go to http://www.watchtower.org

Answer 8

Jehovah's Witnesses worship God the Father..

Matthew 4:10
Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship Jehovah your God, and serve him only.'"

Note: Lord was replaced with Jehovah in other bibles

John 4:23
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

John 17:26
I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."

Answer 10

They all worship the god referenced in the Bible. Each one is branched from Protestantism, which branched from Catholicism.

Interestingly enough Judaism, Islam, and the various Protestant faiths are all stemmed from the same religious tree... even though they do not recognize each other's beliefs.

To clarify: my point was the three religions are 'in' the same family tree. I did not feel that I needed to go into who sprouted who, but I'm glad someone did!
