Jehovah’s Witnesses (the Watchtower society) say that Jesus already had his second coming October 1914 and they are the only ones who saw it. Most consider them to be an Adventist Millerite spin-off. Old Prince Please. I love Prince,I hope he comes to his senses and doesn't squander his career for a cult. Jehovah's Witnesses (Watchtower sect) are the worst. -- Danny Haszard

Danny, you are so right! The watchtower organization is a cult along with The Mormons, Seventh Day Adventist. The definition of a cult: "Any group which deviates from Biblical, orthodox, historical Christianity also deny the Deity of Christ! The Bible warns us in Colossians, Eph, and the letters in John. The major problem with these groups, if those would indeed look into the HISTORY and "THE FACTS" they will easily discover these groups are indeed False teachers in sheep clothing as described in Matthew. One easy test for anyone that is a JW, they thought Jesus would come in 1914 - which he did not, this theory was based per their documents on the Fall of Jerusalem at the date 607BC, If you do the research - go to the Library, the actual date is 586/587BC - if this date is true, which it is, the whole doctrine of the JW falls - Please do the research - If your salvation is important to you - Do the research - Hey if it is the truth it will remain the truth tommorrow! Do not be decieved by this False group! and look at the FACTS!!!

Hello Jeze, the definition of a cult is a group of believers that deny the deity of Jesus Christ and follow man-made rules. This is clearly a problem today with several groups, JW's, Mormons, Seventh Day Adventist and even Catholics. I would urge you to do some research/FACTS on this group. If you go to your local library do some homework on the Fall of Jerusalem - JW's believe it was 607BC that is where they get the strange date of 1914 coming of Christ. The fact is, the date is 586BC - do some research. Tons of information. I urge all religious believers to do research on any group that claims to be the elect - God wants all to be saved - He left us his word (Son as an example) we will all be held accountable for how we live. When an organization depletes Jesus as being only a Man, they are anti-Christ and are deceivers of the word - See II John and several other passages. Here are several websites that can help you if you indeed take being or becoming a Christian important which we all should not only being a true example but ensuring our salavation when our life is over.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus Christ is their saviour (John 17:3). Case closed. Jesus followers asked him for a sign pointing to his presence... Read Matthew chap 24 for his reply. Jesus told his followers to "keep on the watch". That is what Jehovah's Witnesses do. What is the rest of the world doing? What they want to. Everything that Jesus said would mark his disciples; MOST of the world does the opposite. He said his disciples would have love among themselves (yet people kill others in war... JW's object to military service). Do YOU believe the Apostle Paul was a true apostle/disciple of Jesus? Well he (Paul) said "fornicators, adultorers, mem kept for unnatural purposes (homosexuals), etc. would NOT inherit God's kingdom". Do YOU believe that? YOUR problem is you only want to adhere to the part that makes YOU happy. You are having your "ears tickled".
