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.

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.

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).

Excellent, Scott! Very well put together, and very logical questions that you have asked. It shows the complete fallacy of this Organization setting themselves up as the only true mouthpiece for Jehovah

Hello Patricia. At first, I recognized this as a quote from my profile, but then realized that you said "me AND YOU". So I take it that you are involved, or are interested in outreach to JWs? I would

2009-10-05 curious to know how you became a believer in Christ Jesus..:

Hey Patricia! Thanks for writing. Well, the fact is that the JW religion was the religion of my childhood. My mom herself was raised in this religion from about the time she was 12, and drifted away

Good morning Beverly, and thanks for writing. When Jesus rose from the dead, according to the Scriptures, He rose in the flesh (John 2:19-21, Luke 24:36-39). This was certainly not corruptible flesh

Hello Tabitha. My apologies for the misunderstanding. Yes, I did think you were simply referring to the various publications, and therefore, did not understand why you would have been denied these.
