And they consider me a Christian, and they so badly want me to consider them Christians. They're moral people, very much good people. They don't vote, hold public office or serve in the military.Ĭonsumed with preparing for a "New World," they know nothing of "New Life" in Jesus Christ."I have dozens and dozens of Mormon relatives that I just had a family reunion with them in December. They also consider any salute to a flag as worship of that flag, and therefore prohibited. They forbid blood transfusions (they say that is eating blood). The rest, faithful Witnesses who have died, will be recreated on earth during the kingdom of the "New World."įocusing on the Old Testament, their system is a legalistic one. Just like animals, when we die, it is over. There is no "visible coming" planned in the future. ![]() Jesus Christ was not raised bodily from the grave, but was recreated as a new "spirit body.".Man has no eternal soul, any more than animals. The Holy Spirit is not a person, but an "active force." J.W.'s are unitarians, denying the Trinity.Former Witnesses point out several basic denials: In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses deny most of the basic doctrines of Christianity. One must believe that Jesus is God, and also in His bodily resurrection. J.W.'s bear the indelible mark of a cult: they claim Christ's death on the cross is not sufficient for full salvation. While many Christians disagree on the order of final events, there can be no disagreement on the work of Christ, or one is not really Christian. Jehovah's sovereignty over all creation will have been vindicated once and for all. He and those who rebel with him will be destroyed by fire from heaven (no eternal hell, just quick annihilation). Satan will be loosed for a while and deceive many. After 1,000 years of this utopian Kingdom comes the final test.All other Witnesses (numbering millions) will survive Armageddon, and live forever on earth, in the kingdom of the "New World." The final battle between Jehovah and Satan, the Battle of Armageddon, is to start shortly, settling the question, "Who will rule earth?" A very special 144,000 Witnesses, the only ones considered "born again," will rule with Jesus in heaven at the end of this battle.Jesus Christ (now Michael) returned to earth invisibly in 1914 (the date has been changed repeatedly) and is working through his "Organization" to re-establish Jehovah's kingdom over the earth.He was recreated as a spirit (no bodily resurrection) and lives in heaven. When the human Jesus died, he stayed dead.This released men from Adam's sinful legacy, and gave them a chance to be worthy of eternal life, if they were faithful Witnesses. He was killed as a ransom on a torture stake (not a cross) for all mankind. After thousands of years of this struggle, Jehovah God arranged for Michael to cease to exist and be recreated as Jesus, a human.When he fails, Jehovah God will re-establish his kingdom and destroy Satan and all his rebellious followers, thus vindicating Jehovah's name (an obsession with Witnesses). He dared challenge Jehovah's right to rule! Jehovah gave Satan 6,000 years to try to win over all humanity. ![]() He seduced Adam and Eve, and became Satan. Jehovah appointed Lucifer to watch over earth, but the angel became jealous of Jehovah. ![]() Jehovah God created all else through his firstborn, Jesus (Michael). ![]() His first creations were two angels, Michael (who later becomes Jesus) and Lucifer.
