Jehovah Witnesses- True Christians?

what do you say to people outside the religion that say jehovah witnesses are the only true christians and they are the only group that follow the bible as opposed to other reilgions?

i see these comments on youtube about videos that addressed the issue with the policy jws follow today.

i am not bitter but i thought if you think that jehovah witnesses are true christians and follow the bible, why not join the group?

i remember when i first started questioning the wts/jws.

there were so many scandals and teachings and history to explore and research.

i needed to learn everything i could about every little inconsistency, every mistake, every scandal in order to convince myself that i was on the correct path to freedom from this false religion.

when oprah asked if the kids were being raised jw and she knew that jdubs don't celebrate b'days and holidays, janet gave the shocking news that (i'd advise all with heart and medical conditions to take a seat now) she said that yes the children do (as ins always) celebrate there b'day and holidays.

the horror, i'm so totally shocked and stunned!!

you mean a poor family from gary, indiana hit the big time, and although the mother was a jw and the dad was not, and the kids were signed to million dollar contracts while in their teens .

Suppose a worldly person knows too much about the WTS
by dgp in
1. jw
2. friends
suppose a practicing and, to all appearances, true jw knew a worldly person (me) knows a lot more about the wts than the typical jw would expect.

i mean, the person knows the wts's structure, the general information about the basic theories (chronology, other sheep, the flocks, the anointed...).

i believe that this jw would immediately suspect that the worldly has visited "apostate" sites.

Other Religions use the Name JEHOVAH too
by UnDisfellowshipped in
1. watchtower
2. bible
are jehovah's witnesses really the only religion that promotes and preaches the name of jehovah?.

jw's are always claiming that they are the only religion that preaches and uses the name jehovah, and that is why only they will be saved.

for example, look at this quote from the watchtower:.
