What is the biggest doctrinal mistake made by the Watchtower /JWorg. ?
How about basing their whole business model around a Catholic book
personally i think it is 1914 and the following " this generation " doctrine.. this particular doctrine went right against jesus's own words of " no one knows of the time not even he " .
he also admonished his true followers to not set a time upon god's own sacred time .. the leaders of the wts even back to the late 1800's set a time calculated on their own theology 1874 being the first time set and proclaimed by c t russell, also proclaiming 1914 would likely be the year of the final day of judgment armageddon.
all throughout the 20th century the wts held to this doctrine but was eventually revised of course when it was realized this generation had passed away who saw the events of 1914. .

but i believe in jehovah god, and i read the bible every day.. i believe the bible is god's word.
and i pray to god every day.. it's somewhat off topic.
but i'd like to find a friend who loves the bible and want to read and find the truth of the bible together with me.. i live in japan and i am a japanese.

i thinks so.. not only jws have hate the catholic church.
i see it as a world wide thing.
many hate the catholic church with out even truly looking into it for themselves, but rather form their opinion based on other peoples directions.. what say you?.
Anyone should hate anything that poses a legitimate threat to the survival of humanity on earth in a reasonable manner, and the cat lick church is working to provide energy for that "third messianic temple". But, they are not alone--all christi-SCAM-ity, and islam and judaism to boot, are working together on this foul project. And, once they find out what their "paradise" really is, it will be too late.
I couldn't have said it any better. This is what I am talking about. Hospitals and human rights based solely because each of us is made in the image and likeness of God, Billions helped on the planet earth and then the hate that is nonsensical. . It just doesn't make any sense to me...

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.
It was a 'yes' or 'no' question..lol
But seriously, hear me out and think about this please-.
I ask the question because I think the same thing about the Jewish race.A supernatural hatred seems to exist. How else could one man convince the powers of his nation to kill/murder 6 million Jews?
During the time of Jesus, if you had the means, you could buy a slave girl or boy for sexual pleasure and that was widely considered the 'good life'. There was never any mention of human rights in history before the Catholic Church came into existence [some 350 years or so before THEY gave the world the biblical cannon]. They invented the human rights campaign and everything that it entailed.
That's not to say that there have not been tens of thousands of victims from people who were Catholic, but the whole world has benefited from Jesus's church in ways that no other can claim. That is a fact.
IE_What group of people hasn't used a hospital? Yet, who says 'The Catholic Church gave the world hospitals'? Billions upon billions of people have benefited from that one thing that never existed before the church started them.

Not only JWs have hate the Catholic Church. I see it as a world wide thing. Many hate the Catholic Church with out even truly looking into it for themselves, but rather form their opinion based on other peoples directions.
What say you?
some people are very suspicious of the police.
some folks value policemen and women.
i’ve had experience with some.
I can't stand losing you is a classic that does not get it's musical due....
had to laugh when i read this in the good news from god publication on the website.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/good-news-from-god/recognize-true-worshippers/.
basically, watchtower just rattling of a list of things they (claim) to do when trying to identify "true" worship.. the closing question though, "which religion bases all its teachings on god’s word, honors god’s name, and proclaims god’s kingdom as mankind’s only hope?
which group practices love and shuns war?
NWT- MATT=20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
Is there a church that does ALL that Jesus commanded? That's probably the true one.

To me, their biggest doctrinal mistake is the complete and utter ridicules ideas about the identity of Jesus Christ.
How can you be a Christian organization and not have a freaking clue who Jesus is?
i understand why the witnesses won't actually "reason" from the scriptures; because they will have to come to grips with the fact that others have their own reasons, scripture-based, for believing differently than the jw's.. the "reasoning" book was supposed to arm the r&f with solid scriptural backing that could withstand most in-depth conversations.
so, why is it gathering dust now?
was there some doctrinal issue specifically?.

It gathers dust because everytime a new governing body takes over, they apply 'new light' based on their own erroneous biblical interpretations.
Hence, no new light, only someone playing with the light switch
