Yes.

Jehovah's Witnesses are unique for their rejection of paganisms, use of God's personal name, and global preaching by every active adherent. No other religious organization can claim such purity of worship.

These facts about Jehovah's Witnesses are perhaps relevant to this question. The more one compares this Christian religion with others, the more remarkable it is shown to be.

1. Jehovah's Witnesses have no paid clergy. Yet they remain tightly organized with more than 6.5 million active Jehovah's Witness preachers (about 16 million associate themselves with the religion). Even fulltime preachers and workers at their branch offices are unpaid volunteers.

2. There is no elite class among Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the few 'anointed' among them enjoy no special privileges in their congregations on earth. An anointed person (one of those relative few with a heavenly hope) is not elevated above his fellow congregants in any way, and he may not even qualify for appointment as a simple 'deacon' or elder. There are no titles; EVERYONE is addressed as 'brother' or 'sister'.

3. No person benefits economically from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the 8 to 20 men who serve on their Governing Body receive simply room, board, medical care, and reimbursement for certain personal expenses according to the exact same provision as every other branch volunteer.

4. About a hundred men have served on Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body committee during the past 125 years or so. The vast majority of them have spent the vast majority of their adult lives volunteering for their organization's purposes, and the vast majority have died faithfully and near-pennilessly while still under their legal 'vow of poverty'.

5. Amazingly, Jehovah's Witnesses did not splinter as a sect from some other religion. Instead, a truly tiny but sincere group of bible students studied only the Scriptures to determine the will of God. Thus their religion remains absolutely independent of and not carrying the sins of Christendom's history, yet carries the authority of Christ's teachings.

6. Despite the distortions of anti-Witnesses, throughout their modern history Jehovah's Witnesses have refused to claim divine inspiration or infallibility for their teachings. They have pointed to the bible (and not any particular translation) as the only inspired infallible means of knowing God's thoughts. For over 125 years, their teachings have been presented as merely the results of sincere bible research by imperfect but godly humans.

It depends on who responds to your question. For example, if you asked the Pharisees what kind of person Jesus is, do you think their comments would be complimentary? Not on your life!

Jehovah's Witnesses are true Christians because they let the Bible be their guide. Because of that, they don't smoke or drink to excess. They do not participate in wars for any reason. They shun pagan holidays like Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. They avoid the cross, a pagan symbol that predates Christianity by thousands of years. They reject false doctrines like the trinity and hellfire. They take an active role in spreading the Bible's message from door to door in compliance with Jesus' last command, found at Matt. 28:19, 20.

if we are followers of Christ Yes, cause Jesus was Jehovah´s witness according to Isaiah 55:4-6

"Look! As a witness to the national groups I have given him, as a leader and commander to the national groups.

5 Look! A nation that you do not know you will call, and those of a nation who have not known you will run even to you, for the sake of Jehovah your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he will have beautified you.

6 Search for Jehovah, YOU people, while he may be found. Call to him while he proves to be near. 7 Let the wicked man leave his way, and the harmful man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, who will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will forgive in a large way. "

If we obey Jesus and worship his father as he said in John 4:23-24, and his father is Jehovah as says Luke 1:32 and Psalm 83:18, then Yes.

Depends on who you ask. I personally say Yes, some say no, but then some said Jesus was working with Satan.

Born into the Kingdom does not have a certain denomination. You are either alive or you are dead. God can use you anyplace if you are in surrender to Him. If you are locked into any doctern of men, you are not able to operate in the doctern of Christ.

Doubt it. They believe that the more works they do, the better chance of getting into heaven, where as the bible clearly says it's a free gift to all who accept it, and so, working for it is undermining it as a gift, but something instead to be earned
