Such as: why there is suffering in the world?
Why do we die?
What will be the future of mankind on earth?
When and why will mankind live forever?
With respect, my experience of other faiths seem to make them based mainly on rituals or emotional experience rather than learning from questions people ask.

Thank you for your answer Steve N but I have spent a long time listening to other faiths.

I mean most faiths have disjointed teachings that are difficult to merge to form one unified teaching.

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses who studied EXTENSIVELY with other denominations beforehand- I would have to answer that such as you've written seems to be the case because we are strongly encouraged to read the Bible every day and meet regularly with fellow believers.
We don't depend upon others to "hand" us the answers or "trust" what we're told blindly. Everything we teach comes from the Bible and followers make "the Truth" of God's Word their own. Which is why we're all able to do as 1 Peter 3:15 says:
"But sanctify the Christ as Lord in YOUR hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of YOU a reason for the hope in YOU, but doing so together with a mild temper and deep respect."

Even when I was a JW I never met one that could answer this:
If god is so loving, why did he permit the Devil to destroy Job's children merely to allow him to test Job's faith?
I'm not trying to sound like a jerk or anything. Personally, I have many other questions that I was never able to resolve when I was a JW and neither could anyone else to whom I spoke. That's one reason why I left of my own accord. But, if you're up to the challenge perhaps you can use some common sense to develop your own questions about their teachings. I didn't find the task difficult at all.
Good luck! (but JWs don't believe in that either)

Just look at the way people of the same religion answer Qs here.
Only JWs answer consistently and with answers from the Bible that make sense.
E.g Take a look at the Trinity Qs- total confusion there!!! LOL!

This seems like a sermon. You are a JW so why the question? This is not a real question is it? I have been studying with the Witnesses, and I see things on this site that make me have questions regarding the people who call themselves Jehovah's witneses. Just an observation from someone who is watching what is going on.

If you read the real bible (not the one that was rewritten by the Jehovah's witnesses) you will find the real answers. To them, the only way that you can be saved is by works. In true Christianity we are saved by grace. Big difference. They say that Jesus was just an angel. Not the son of God. The sacrifice that Jesus (the son of God) made on the cross was enough to save all who will accept his gospel. John 3:16.
The true bible has the true answers. If the Jehovah's witnesses have some answers that seem to be the same, it is only because they have been stolen from the true bible and added to theirs to deceive you.

I have a family full of Jehovah's Witnesses and their answers to life's questions still aren't intelligible to me. But as compared to other Christian sects, those JWs seem to know their Bible really well.

Because they are unified and have the truth, the truth is always the same whenever it is related.

I guess you never read the course in miracles?
It covers all of these topics nicely without The nonsense about a Judgmental punishing God.
