Biblicaly Speaking that is. We know their cult mentality with all its manipulation tactics and abusive authority is wrong. But as far as their understanding of the Bible, what do you believe they have right or wrong?
I believe they have these things right:
Jehovah is not a trinity.
Jesus is God's first creation.
The Angelic rebellion is the source of all our troubles.
The Great Tribulation and Armageddon are literal and coming.
God will use the worlds governments to destroy world religion.
The Thousand Year reign is real.
The Resurrection is the only hope for the majority of the dead.
The Little Flock will become a literal Heavenly Government.
Satan and his Demons have a finite time to exist and will be terminated.

..........................................................

These are my two main disagreements with the JW's:

I believe their acceptance of the Bible as God's word in every way is incorrect.

and...

I believe the Witnesses acceptance of the Apostle Paul's view of women and their place in the congregation is wrong.

Wrong.

What about the Watchtower being the sole voice for God on earth.

the only thing that i think is pretty cool about the dubs is that you can go pretty much anywhere as a dub and if you dont know anyone there will be dubs who will help you, even give you a place to stay etc. I have seen this with my family many times, now it could have to do with the fact that my father is an elder and my sisters are pioneers/elders wives.

biblically nothing because they twist too many things and i dont believe in the bible any way

Wrong. Their basic premise is that they will live forever and the majority of mankind will be killed off. They REFUSE to see any good at all in "the world". They think they and only they have the truth.

I believe that their views on equality of the races and nationalism are good views.

I do believe that God is love.

Paradise Earth? Well, we'll just have to wait and see. One thing I am certain of, Jehovah's Witnesses and those who have accepted Jesus as their lord and savior are NOT the only ones that God loves and saves. I do not believe in a God who is exclusive. I do believe that God does not give up anyone who is salvageable and who has good inside.

I believe God looks at Kirk Cameron's show and laughs his/her a$$ off.

These are my two main disagreements with the JW's:

I believe their acceptance of the Bible as God's word in every way is incorrect. THEN HOW CAN THEY BE RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING ABOVE. WHICH THEY SAY IS BASED ON THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF GODS WORD.

and...

I believe the Witnesses acceptance of the Apostle Paul's view of women and their place in the congregation is wrong.

DEPENDS WHETHER YOU BELIEVE PAUL HAD ANYTHING AGAINST WOMEN.

That having the right set of doctrine matters at all. WRONG.

I believe that their views on equality of the races and nationalism are good views.

I agree. And I think those views are (or perhaps were, from the 70's onward) what attracted a lot of people to this organisation and kept them inside even when they could feel that the rest was crap.

What's wrong you ask?

They gotta take off them 'rose' colored glasses when they read the scriptures!

Jehovah is not a trinity. WRONG

I am soooo tempted to get you to explain yourself, but... well, can't be bothered

One thing the Witnesses do ' fairly ' well is place emphasis upon a moral code of conduct which is refreshing in this topsy-turvey world (try not to bite my head off voices of dissension, I am aware of the shunning policy).

Jehovah is not a trinity. Wrong - It has a spirit (evil though it is), a physical form (the wtbts), and a soul, though it is dead (it is an idol).

W e, like God, are a trinity - spirit (how we are), soul (what we are) and vessel (what we are formed from) - think of an earthen jar (a clay pot) - what it contains (spirit), what it is (soul) and what it is made from (flesh/body)

Jesus is God's first creation. Sort of - Jesus is God in the flesh

As for the rest of it - nope
