Our neighborhood seems to be popular with Jehovah’s Witness’. We get a visit from them at least twice a year. I’ll just politely accept their literature, close the door, then throw away the Watchtower material.
Here’s a rundown of key teachings of JW that makes them a cult:
– There is no Trinity
– The Holy Spirit is not a person, just a force
– Jesus was not God in the flesh, but Michael the Archangle becoming a human
– Jesus did not bodily resurrect
– JW is the only source of truth
– Do not believe in hell
– Only their church members will be saved
– Good works are necessary for salvation
– Only 144,000 people will enter heaven
