You are looking for an answer from non Witnesses?

?! okay I'll bite.

I am not sure your brothers and sisters will appreciate that you ask this and then select an answer from a nonJW!

Are not false religions influence by demons and even Satan himself?

For example many of these false religions belong to the beast of this system of things, the UN, and JWs do not?

Is not the Vatican lead by a group of men that consider themselves to be the spokesperson for all Christianity universally? Of course, the JWs do not have anything like this; led by a group of men as the Vatican has that dictates beliefs?

Many different Christian denominations claim to have the one true religion. This is a commonality among cults and the JWs' in NY do not claim to be prophets either.

I would have to say no, they are not, when a religon deliberty make prohecies about when the world is going to end and then cover it up with distortion and lies they are not. Just because a religion says thay are does not mean it is so. Just because they are nice people does not mean that are the one true religion. They say they adhere to the bible, then why is it that they are pushing there magazines on people, I rarley see them Just using the bible at the door, the magazines are the first thing they are trying pedle off and then read off a bible verse, Jesus never pedled magazines, and he certainly did not rewrite the bible to fit his teachings. The bible is all you need, you don't need an organzation or a magazine to tell you what the bible says, God himself will let you know, if you are sincere about learning. Jws are nice people, the organzation that they follow is wrong though.

confident it rather is actual. they had to alter their theology whilst the numbered ranks of JW's have been given to be on the fringe of one hundred forty four,000.....no longer sufficient areas in heaven for them. it rather is barely one in all many replaced theologies of the Jehovah's Witnesses. i became right into a JW for 22 years.....I did various learn and that i too became into blown away at what the society taught that i did no longer be attentive to approximately. God instructs us to maintain proving that our faith and records is from him. this could be a directive from God. i encourage you to do precisely that. Many right here have don that and characteristic chanced on the Watchtower theology very short on actual theology. might God Bless you...all and sundry Else's' advantages are unimportant. you're able to answer to God. edit..by potential of ways..22 years as a Witness and that i could have suggested that they did no longer teach that Jesus became into Michael...It became into information to me...i could have missed some thing besides..the two i became into daft...or they did no longer post that little tidbit very often.

True religion is not measured in terms of how many or few errors may exist in this or that religion. What determines the true congregation is the existence of Jehovah's chosen ones---regardless of their spiritual condition. God certainly knows those who belong to him. And, as reality and prophecy indicate, all such chosen ones are part of one household.

When the master comes for the judgment, he comes to ONE household of servants and, within that one household, some will be judged as faithful and others will be judged as evil and sluggish slaves.

Yes. Any honest hearted person that studies with Jehovah's Witnesses knows that we have the truth.

We are recognized for the love we have for one another all over the world.

We are all united and believe the same unlike the churches today.

We all preach the Good News of the Kingdom as Jesus told us to Go and preach.

We are the only ones that will not participate in War and kill or murder another human being. We will die before we break God's commandments.

We have no traditions and go to the Bible for all of our answers and beliefs.

We are truly no part of this world.

But what stood out to me most when my Wife and I started studying is the love that the Brothers and Sisters have for one another. Also the love they have for their neighbors.

It's obvious that they display the fruits of God's Spirit, love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, and self control.

The truth is so beautiful.
Jehovah's Faithful Witnesses are beautiful.

ABSOLUTELY!
Do you recall the scripture where Jesus was talking with those who had put faith in him?

At John 8:29-32
In the latter part of verse 29, Jesus said that he always did the things pleasing to his Father {Jehovah} and if we are to be identified as footstep followeres of Jesus, we too would do the things that are pleasing to our Heavenly Father Jehovah.
In Verse 31 Jesus said: "If you remain in my word, you are truly my disciples." How many religions today are doing EXACTLY what Jesus has commanded them to do? Who is really preaching AND teaching God's Kingdom as Christ did when he was on earth? Jehovah's Witnesses....worldwide...

And lastly in verse 32, Jesus said " you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

We JW"s are "free" from Babylonish practices, such as unscriptural holiday celebrations and beliefs. That is what the 'truth' does for those who really love God, it sets us free!

Yes. Millions of people throughout the world have evaluated the facts and have become convinced that Jehovah’s Witnesses alone are practicing the true religion. They have reached this conclusion on the basis of what Jehovah’s Witnesses teach and how they conduct themselves, as well as on the basis of the benefits their religion has brought. (Isa. 48:17)

In 235 lands Jehovah’s Witnesses are doing the work Jesus foretold that his true followers would be doing in the time of the end: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.”Matt. 24:14. Who else is doing this work on a consistent basis? Nobody!

GOD is not a God of disorder but of peace.’ (1 Corinthians 14:33) Surely, then, the many religions with their conflicting doctrines could not all have God’s approval. Hence, there can be only one religion that meets his requirements for true worship. How can we find that one religion that really pleases God?
What does God’s Word lead us to expect of true worship? We have an immediate clue in three words: “God is love.” (1 John 4:16) Therefore, worship that pleases God must be based on genuine love.

In practical terms, what does that mean? Religion that pleases God cannot inculcate or allow for hatred of fellow humans. The Bible’s simple command is, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:39) That means separating from this world’s hatreds, prejudices, and conflicts. It means learning war no more and pursuing peace.—Isaiah 2:2-4.

To illustrate the point: Could we imagine a “French” apostle Paul going out to kill a “German” apostle Peter just because their respective nations had declared war? Yet, during the second world war most religions were so deeply involved in the war efforts of their nations that they even supplied chaplains for the armies! At the same time, “Christian” clergymen on both sides prayed to the same God for victory. But does God stand divided? Can he be dragged into what Professor Albert Einstein described as the “infantile sickness” of nationalism, “the measles of humanity”? Of course not! That is why worshipers who really please God must remain neutral and practice genuine love. (John 13:34, 35; 17:16) They ‘do not wage war according to what they are in the flesh.’—Compare 2 Corinthians 10:3, 4.

The apostle Paul pointed to another mark of religion that is pleasing to God when he said that although many are called gods and lords, among true worshipers there is only “one God the Father.” (1 Corinthians 8:5, 6) Surely, then, those pleasing God would know and use his name.

The Bible, in its original languages, specifically mentions the name of God over 7,000 times. For instance, Psalm 83:18 reads: “That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.” Then why do adherents of so many religions worship a nameless God? And why do they omit his name from their Bible translations? That certainly is not the way to please God, for Jesus prayed: “Let your name be sanctified.”—Matthew 6:9.

Is there any worldwide religious group that fulfills the two basic requirements of true worship that we have just discussed? Is there any religion that really practices the love that Christ taught? And do those same worshipers truly glorify God and honor his name in this 21st century?

It is a well-attested fact that Jehovah’s Witnesses maintain neutrality toward the wars of the nations. For this reason, they have suffered in concentration camps and prisons. Rather than compromising their Bible-based principles, they have preferred the pathway of martyrdom trodden by the early Christians. This stand has been motivated by their love for God and fellow humans. Such love is one mark of true worship that pleases God.

I'm satisfied that I have identified myself with God's spirit directed organization, after thorough bible study and research into what God, in scripture, said footstep- followers of his son would be doing , how they would be acting, and how they would be identified, esp. in the "last days" of this system of things.
Thru my study, I've formed a deep and loving attachment to Jehovah God and His wonderful Son, my Ransomer, Christ Jesus.
When I can, I share that with others, and I offer to help them study the bible'.
Does that answer your question?
If not, why not e-mail me?
b.t.w. I was making a little reference, there, to the moment just before I got baptized, way back in1989, after making my personal dedication to Jehovah because I knew I had found the truth!
