Anonymous4, the JWs are not the only group that teaches there is no hellfire/trinity/immortality of the soul or use the divine name- ASSUMING the JWs are right on those points. Christadelphians believe similarly as do some other groups. The WT teaches that they alone are God's direct channel of truth to makind. Given their history of false prophecies, even IF God did work solely thru a channel as the WT claims, they would be easily disqualified from such a role.
Are they really that bad???

Welcome A4,
I see that you have been a member of this board for 4 months, In my honest opinion
I think you are already a JW who has been indoctrinated to the hilt, that is why you claim to see
nothin' wrong. Any outsider who claim to have examined their doctrine, would automatically see
the flip flops and contradictions if they compare the actual teaching of the bible to the JW literature.
Usually outsiders will only discuss the outside facade of the JW's, and don't get into doctrine unless they
are a bible study or have some connection to the JW's I believe that you have watched other JW apologist get defeated
on this board, and you are trying another route to make your case. There is no way you could have lurked this long
and still see nothin' wrong. You may have been a member for 4 months, but you been lurking longer than that

A4 says:
"I'm still willing to listen to why what they teach is wrong and unbiblical but i'm not interested in any straw man arguments"
A4, instead of asking us "whats wrong" show us "whats right" about this religion and it's doctrine
and explain to us why it's right. Sense you had a good look into their doctrine I'm sure you could try to make your
case based on your findings

Good pickup on that logical fallacy used by Anon4 Wasblind. Since when do baseless assertions default to truth unless proven false?

Read Ray Franz's book Crisis of Conscience.
Ray was on the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses for many years, and his uncle was president of the Watcthower Society.

Welcome anonymous4!
The WT teachings look biblical on the surface. However, look a little deeper and it will become apparent their teaching go against those in the bible.
Take this verse for example.
1 Timothy 2:5 (New International Version, ©2010)
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus
The WT teach that Jesus is not the Mediator for the JWs, only the 144, 000 :(
What's worse is they claim themselves as mortal men to be the mediator before God for the JWs!
I know who I prefer as my Mediator :)
Blessings in Christ,
Stephen
