Know where in the bible will you find Christian religions being condemned for teaching the trinity or hell fire doctrines, but you will find Jesus condemning those that come as messiah's or christs (both mean Anointed) and declaring 'the time is near'. You will also find Paul cursing anyone that preaches a gospel different then the Apostles preached as well as cursing those that change or add to the bible. Oh darn JW's thats YOU, you fit the bill in all of these!!!!!! I guess its you who are going down at the big A and not all the christians you judge as evil, oh snap you judge people too, another thing Jesus said not to do. Man you guys are having a bad time of it.
The bible condemns Christian religions that teach, Wait!

Baseless assertions. How do Jehovah's Witnesses preach a gospel different than the apostles? How have Jehovah's Witnesses come as Messiahs? More than anything else, what I want to know is how and where have Jehovah's Witnesses changed the Bible? It goes without saying that you won't be able to answer these questions. You simply posit vicious rumors and dangerous lies.

the gospel is jesus look mark 1 is clear . the death burail and resusrection (1 corin 15:1-4) its not about a 1914 kingdom. to go a step farther gal 1:1-11 when paul was addressing a issue of perverting the gospel it was because ones where adding to the gospel namely faith plus something else .when it was only faith in jesus. look at acts 15 when circumsion was trying to be said a must for salvation. jw make the mistake they add to faith alone. they say one can not be saved by faith alone. if you really belived that than you would have to admitt that being a jw does nothing for your salvation. when you go out into service are you trying to get ppl into christ or the hall? which can saved them or yourself?

And dont forget John1:1 where the Kingdom Interlinear which reads " In the beginning was the word and the word was God"
And in the marginal column they insert "a" god.

SfPW , has opened up the floodgates here hasn`t he ? Where do you stop answering those questions of his. LOL
The silver sword bible , that has removed the brackets and kept the added words.
The "good news of the kingdom" which focuses on jesus according to the gospels and not a paradise earth.
Just to name a few

Acts 15 prove's a Governing Body existed because the Governing Body told me so. Seriously a student of the Bible without presuppositions is not going to believe a cause of evil (men coming from Jerusalem to all the Gentiles preaching obedience to the Law and error in Christ) spreading throughout the World is support for a centralized authority. Antioch sent brothers out to ask why men from "The Governing Body" Jerusalem were spreading a false gospel and attaching works and obedience to a group of men with double-standards or two-faced religious practices. Paul again is correcting the head of the Governing Body because of his erroneous practices and teachings, sound modern to you?
"Galatians 2:11-21
New International Version (NIV)
Paul Opposes Cephas
11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?
15 “We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles 16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in [a] Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
17 “But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! 18 If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker.
19 “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” [b]

The pain and suffering caused by their fear of the Truth is easy to discern, our religion was developed by yearning to know the physical (Esau) and avoidance of the Spiritual (Jacob). United Nations, wavering blood and organ transplant, Superior Authorites and inability to stay fixed on one meaning of it. The flickering "new light", the ever-changing Generation Mystery, policing the martial bed, invasive abuses and putting chains on Christians person freedoms. Yes, the Governing Body are the "Peter-Class" of denying Jesus Christ and spreading false doctrines and hypocritically wavering between allegiances of the modern Jew-Class and Modern Gentile-Class being rebuked by the Paul Class (opposers to their false gospel) of Apostates.
Let’s figure this out together, we have Isaac (Israel and Spiritual) and Ishmael (Egypt or fleshly) and brother Russell thinks a great landmark of the ancient representation of fleshly qualities (Egypt) is going to be a key to predict when the great leader of Spiritual Israel would return, that makes no sense! It’s pagan or occult practices if you ask me!
"New Living Translation
It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the king's anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible.Hebrews 11:27 http://biblehub.com/hebrews/11-27.htm
