Why isn't the Watchtower the true religion?

i have been asked by a jw friend of mine to share with him the reasons why i believe that the watchtower is not the true religion.

what all do you think that i should share with him?.

-i'm going to share the information about their hypocrisy in being a un ngo.

I think there is no one true religion, but there are sure many that are wrong in what they teach and do. I believe that understanding everything from the bible, and following like God wants us to is the "true religion". Believing in Christ is the only thing that can save us. It's not that being a Christian is the "true religion", but they are the ones that follow the bible the closest and with a full understanding of it, not straying from the scriptures or twisting them to their own way. A religion won't save you, but it can surely sink you. It's your faith, what you know, and what you do. My thoughts.

i've always wondered what jehovah witnesses think about a friend who is a non-jw.

do they pretend to be good to you from the outside while thinking in their heads that you are "worldly" and that nothing good will come out of the non-jw?
ClassAvenger

Oh, I see. So they also consider any other religion worldly, even though they see that you know more and understand the bible better than they can?

Oh, and by the way, im not a Witness. But being a witness or not I think it really doesnt matter, God will answer your prayers anyways in my opinion.

In my opinion God has always answered my prayers and everything I have asked him for. Just by the fact of being alive I know he is answering me when I ask him to give me life in my prayers. Just a thought.

can anyone explain to me what the "gehena" is?

i've seen it all over the nwt yet i haven't seen it once in my christian bible.

Ok. What about heaven? When Jesus was in the cross he said the following to the man next to him which believed in him:
"And Jesus said unto him: Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." - St. Luke 23:43
I believe that when we all die we go to heaven or paradise, i know the JWs think differently. What is you all's point of view?

Help - how to reason from 'best out there'?
by Xander in
1. watchtower
2. bible
okay, another discussion with the brother.

he did mention i was a bad influence, but, feh, he still talks and listens a little, so i'm not too worried.. i've got him whittled down to - "if nothing else, at least this org tries to follow the bible the closest, every other religion has serious flaws.".

this is kind of a hard one to beat, as, in the end, what the society says is generally quite good and positive.

Another thing to keep in mind when trying to preach to a JW is that they close their ears to any type of negative information to their religion, they are taught to do that and they will do it. They think that they are persecuted when people tell them things on their organization. Try not to show him, but make him reason on his own. Let him find the truth on his own.

My thoughts are that hell exists. I can't understand how people can't believe God will punish you. There is no real base foundation on this belief. I am not seeing this from a close minded point of view but I have not been presented with a big argument as to why I shouldn't believe in hell.

I am a christian and yes, I've seen the word Hades in the bible. I do not believe though, that Christian theology developed from a combination of Greek. I checked in a dictionary for the definition of Hades and besides giving me the god of the underworld, and the netherworld kingdom, it also defines it as another term for hell. I believe in hell, yet I do not see why the word "hell" should be replaced with Gehena. I've seen many different translations of the bible, yet I have only seen the word Gehena in the New World Translation. I do believe in hell, but I havent heard the reason why JWs dont believe in it. One of my JW friends told me God was too good to put someone into eternal torture. In my opinion, they only see God's loving side but forget about his side of justice. Wat do you all think?
