Question

Like beliefs similarities differences

Answer 1

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

Buddhism is almost not a religion because they don't believe in God. Mormons definitely a cult not a religion, these people are psycho and racist. Jehovah Witnesses super into the bible a lot which is a bit weird but at least it is a religion! Humanism is a psychology theory not a religion. Islam I don't know much about, same with Hinduism although they are some of the oldest religions.

Answer 3

Buddhism-off shoot of Hindu believe in reincarnation and ultimate peace
Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints(Mormons)-Christians that believe in continuing revelation through modern prophet also believe in book of Mormon as well as bible
Islam-started by Mohamed believes that he was last in a long line off prophets has qu'ran as well as old and new testaments
Humanism-???
Hinduism- multiple gods main of which is Brahman which is also every other god and ultimate source of joy
Jehovah's witnesses- believe 144,000 will be saved Christian

Answer 4

My friend used to live in Utah, so she knew A LOT of mormons.
She told me something about golden plates and magic spectacles, I don't know.
Apparently, if there are two men, dressed formally, wearing name tags, who are never alone together, there is a good chance that they are Mormon missionaries.
They walk around the diag and try to convert the multitude of stoners that hang out there each day.
It makes me laugh.

Answer 5

Most all of them have a central body of laws and guidelines that allow an individual to grow closer to God/the divine.... with the exception of humanism, in which self is the God and there really is no standard of ethics in that situation.

Answer 6

The Jehovah's Witnesses are the only ones who don't believe in the immortality of the soul, who reject entirely everything that has pagan origins etc.

"For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten." -- Ecclesiastes 9:5

Answer 7

Humanism isn't a religion. Mormonism and JW aren't religions, either; they're commonly accepted as being denominations of Christianity (Christianity itself being the religion).

Answer 8

You will get much more useful information if you separate those into different questions.

As it is, you will either get bigotted responses that amount to "they are not the one TRUE religion, mine!" or smart-aleck ones.

Answer 9

I know that in Hindu they don't believe in Multiple Gods, the statues that they have represents the different Characters of the One God. A Hindu taught me this.

Answer 10

Just that it is all a bunch of the same variety of crap. I don't know what you expect here, a long definition of each?
They are all into the brainwashing the masses thing, right??
