Answering Jehovah's Witnesses Subject by Subject

Top Highlights

“Jehovah’s Witnesses agree that Jesus is the Christ or Messiah, meaning anointed one, but they attach such a narrow definition to the term that they miss much of its significance. The Watchtower declares that ‘Jesus could not bear the title ‘Christ’ until he was anointed by Jehovah’s spirit at the time of his baptism in 29 c.e.’ (January 1, 1969, page 29) It stresses this limited application of the title ‘Christ’ because JW leaders view Jesus Christ as an earthly manifestation of Michael the Archangel, a mere created being who was given the assignment of fulfilling the role of Christ among men on earth.” (source)

“ Crisis of Conscience is usually the most effective book to give to a JW beginning to question his or her beliefs.” (source)

“The belief that the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is ‘God’s organization’ on earth is the central and most important doctrine of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Followers accept all the sect’s other doctrines, not on account of the biblical arguments advanced, but ultimately because the organization decrees these teachings to be true. Other JW beliefs are subject to change as the organization reveals ‘new truths’ from God.” (source)

“In most cases it is necessary for a Witness first to discover that the Watchtower organization is a false prophet incapable of providing salvation, second to recognize a personal need for the Savior Jesus Christ, and third to undertake a systematic study with the aim of deprogramming and relearning. Watchtower ideas must be removed from the brain one by one and be replaced with accurate Bible understanding.” (source)
