  Here, in India, other Christian missionaries claim to preach the kingdom of God. But what? Giving out money to the poor and telling them to come to their church? None of them know to read or write. Neither do they know who Jesus is..let alone the kingdom of God.

  Not seen such with the JW's living over here. They have reached with their preaching to areas where no christain group have reached. They have taught people how to read and write. I have seen illiterate people studying with them. Many people have benefitted secularly by associating with them. My friend is one of them.

  Here, they have reached places where the internet would never reach in this century at least, and have literature in majority of the official languages in India.

  (sorry for my english.. it is my second language)

  Yeah, giving money to poor folks is not being Christ-like.

  Jehovahs witnesses do good things, i am not trying to take that away from them. But they have predicted the end of the world a couple of times, and have later falsified their history to cover it. Their blood policy is completely bunk, and they teach they was taught by jesus in 1918, but that data requires jerusalems fall being in 607bc, a date which has abselutely zero evidence in support of it, and a lot of evidence against it, both scriptual and archeological. Read the site i have linked and try to find just one error in it. the author frequent this forum and i am certain he will correct his site if you succeed.

  Not to argue over here.

  After learning to read and write, my friend has a job on which he can survive.

  Some of the poor folks over here dote on these christian missionaries. A particular sum per month attracts them to their church. When missionaries are gone, the misery starts again.

  I have been in touch with JW's since my school days. Had some of them as my close friends. Have much their literature with me (old and new - in my PC, through other sources on the internet.) Have studied them too. My friend and I have lots of discussion on these matters. But it doesnt make any difference for him.

  Due my research, I know the above doctrines of JW's very well. I am myself a christian, though not belonging to any christian church. I am independent.

  Then you know that jws consider all other religions other than their own to be from Satan and that they alone have God's backing as the one true faith.

  JWGood: I have also studied their history - just to make sure we are on the same page, you agree that jehovahs witnesses falsely predicted that David, Abraham, etc. would rise from the dead in 1925, that jesus returned invisibly in 1874 and all nations would cease to be in 1920?

  They wrote again and again there was no bacteria, that organ transplants was canibalism and other pseudo-science

  That the pyramid of Giza was "the second witness" (the bible being the first), and it was made by jehovah to show how his great plan worked? (the plan being russels chronology that was later completely dropped)

  Many religions have teachings that imply the above thing.

  Yes. I know the above facts. I have the 7 volumes of "Millenium Dawn" and a PDF of "Millions now living will never die" and of "Pyramid Passages" with me from where I have come across the dates.

  Please forgive me, If I am ever rude in my posts. I have a great interest in this religion. As of now, its 3:20 AM in India. I am going to sleep. I'll catch up on this tommorrow.

  I'm sorry but the wt doesn't not imply it, they state it as a fact:

  "Only Jehovah's Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil." Watchtower 1989 Sep. 1 p.19
  
  "Similarly, Jehovah is using only one organization today to accomplish his will. To receive everlasting life in the earthly Paradise we must identify that organization and serve God as part of it." Watchtower 1983 Feb. 15 p.12
  
  "Is it presumptuous of Jehovah's Witnesses to point out that they alone have God's backing? Actually, no more so than when the Israelites in Egypt claimed to have God's backing in spite of the Egyptians' belief, or when the first-century Christians claimed to have God's backing to the exclusion of Jewish religionists." Watchtower 2001 June 1 p.16
  
  "During the final period of the ?ancient world? that perished in the Flood, Noah was a faithful ?preacher of righteousness.? (2 Peter 2:5) In these last days of the present system of things, Jehovah?s people are making known God?s righteous standards and are declaring good news about the possibility of surviving into the new world. (2 Peter 3:9-13) Just as Noah and his God-fearing family were preserved in the ark, survival of individuals today depends on their faith and their loyal association with the earthly part of Jehovah?s universal organization." Watchtower 2006 May 15 p.22 "Are You Prepared for Survival?" Paragraph 8

  JWgood, forgive me for my sarcastic remark earlier, you obviously are much more of a thinker than those I aligned you with.

  How do you reconcile the false teaching of the witnesses against the the idea that they teach the truth and are being used by God as his only channel on Earth?
