People often are too quick to judge others. Not to defend any religion but people should do their homework before they reach conclusions. My opinion is that there is too many uneducated opinions.

I think most people do know that Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in Jesus. The controversy is over their belief that He wasn't God in the flesh but rather that He was created by God. A direct contradiction to John 1:14 "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." This is why most theologians consider it heresy.

They are mislead by the devil. We need to pray for them!
Are the Jehovah's Witnesses a Christian organization?
Jehovah's Witnesses have a number of beliefs that conflict with the Bible. Many of their doctrines are so full of grievous errors that it’s not possible to call them a true Christian organization.
For example, the JWs teach that there is no salvation outside of their membership. They actively proselytize Christians, as they consider Christianity the “false religion,” the “harlot,” and “Babylon,” which are all referenced in Revelation as the false prophet and the ecumenical one-world religion.
Jehovah's Witnesses deny the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection and His visible return. They teach that the first creative act of the Father was to create the spirit being, archangel Michael, who later donned a physical body to be seen by his followers in the persona of Jesus. Additionally, they hold that as Jesus, the archangel was a perfect man who became the Messiah at the time of his baptism. The resurrection of Jesus is said to be a spiritual one, not a physical one.
They also deny the deity of the Holy Spirit as well, describing it as an "...impersonal, invisible, inactive force that finds its source and reservoir in Jehovah God" (Let Your Name Be Sanctified, p. 269).
JWs claim eternal life is a reward for doing good works. This why they are expected to spend five hours per week in door-to-door visitation and are responsible for selling subscriptions to The Watchtower magazine each month.

They believe in Jesus! They just have a different view of Jesus than most mainstream religions.

Every sect wants to claim that it is the one true way and all others are "misinterpreting" theier "holy book." Religion is all about control, and demonizing those who disagree is par for the course. As usual in religious terms, facts make no difference.

I'm sure they find your religious beliefs equally as ridiculous as you find their beliefs.
