Jehovah`s Witness/Expert Profile


Ask A Question

Expertise

I was raised in the religion known as Jehovah`s Witnesses for 13 years. Since becoming a born-again Christian, I have researched extensively this religion, especially their doctrines and their history. I can answer questions about their doctrines from the perspective of Biblical Christianity. To be clear: Jehovahs Witnesses is the religion of my upbringing, though I myself was never baptized into the religion, nor have I ever been considered as a Jehovahs Witness.

Experience in the area

23 years of Biblical research into the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith, and how they differ from the teachings of the Watchtower.

Education/Credentials

High School, some college. Studies of God's Word, the Bible, and how it compares to JW theology. I have found my own personal study and experiences to be far more valuable than any formal education or training. The Bible message is clear...Salvation is ONLY through and by the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and no religious organization has a thing to do with it. While attendance at a Bible-preaching, Bible-believing church is a must for spiritual growth and fellowship, no church can grant salvation to its members. Nor is joining a particular group a prerequisite for being saved.

What do you like about this subject?

It is an opportunity to help others see what a difference Jesus can make in their lives.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to see Jehovah's Witnesses come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I also hope to help Christians defend their beliefs from God's Word, the Bible, and help them to effectively witness to JWs when they come in contact with them.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

The Watchtower Society has in its history a long line of false prophecies, which according to the Word of God, disqualifies it from being "God's organization". While its doctrines are in regular need of change and revision, the Gospel of Jesus Christ never changes! It is man's only hope to be saved.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

The beliefs of JWs and born again Christians differ in many ways. I simply hope God will use me to expose false doctrine, and at the same time, lead people to the REAL Truth, Who is the person of Jesus Christ, and not an organization (John 14:6).
