Why Jehovah Witnesses teach a more biblical faith
by tralon insurprizeingly, i am not a jw but an observer and in partial agreement with the jehovah witnesses on many issues.
i have been to many churches in my 30 years and have studied many church beliefs, church history and the bible as well.
so why do i believe the jehovah witnesses are the one true faith of jehovah god?.

tralon,
you have not answered any of my questions.
Exactly what gospel are the JW teaching from door to door? It certainly is not the same one Paul mentioned as the only genuine one in Galatians chapter 1. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Paul spelled out exactly what the Gospel was:
1 Now I make known to YOU , brothers, the good news which I declared to YOU , which YOU also received, in which YOU also stand, 2 through which YOU are also being saved, with the speech with which I declared the good news to YOU , if YOU are holding it fast, unless, in fact, YOU became believers to no purpose.
3 For I handed on to YOU , among the first things, that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; 4 and that he was buried, yes, that he has been raised up the third day according to the Scriptures;
verses 5 onward speak of whom he appeared to. This is from the NWT- and since I beleive you are a JW or at least associated with the org- the NWT would be your preferred translation. Certainly not the gospel that Paul preached.

Tralon,
Different groups preach in different ways or methods. Scripture does not command the "how".

4. I ask you, just who is knocking on doors telling people about Christ's coming kingdom and man's need to be ready for this change. The Protestant denominations? No.The Catholics? No.Only the Jehovah's Witnesses. So who is really preaching the gospel here?
Who is knocking on doors?- Jehovah's Witnesses admittedly. Are they talking of Christ's coming kingdom or are they sharing a different Gospel? They are teaching to come to their organization for salvation. Where is this mentioned in the Bible as the Gospel to teach? What did Paul say about any who preached a different Gospel than the one they preached?
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Exactly what is the work of God that we as Christians need to do? Jesus told us:
Jhn 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jhn 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. -

It is not forbidden in writing. It is obviously looked down upon and discouraged, the same as any extracuricular activity- possibly even more so due to the fact that it involves a member of the opposite sex. If done with a JW it would probably not be too badly looked down upon. If done with a 'worldy' person it surely would be.
