What are some of the JW Teachings That you do not Agree With
by Vanderhoven7 in

casey sabella writes.

many of their teachings have no biblical basis whatsoever.

they claim those leaders are in fact the faithful and discreet slave jesus spoke about in matthew 24. further, they alone were selected by jesus himself in 1919 to identify as this slave and that all other churches are false.. only 144,000 can partake of communion and go to heaven.
