Know Your Cults! Jehovah's Witnesses

History Founded in 1870 by Charles Taze Russell He founded the Watchtower Publication in 1878 Watchtower and Tract Society incorporated in 1884 Russel's "Studies in the Scriptures," written from 1886 to 1916 form the basis of the Jehovah's Witnesses' theology. Joseph Franklin Rutherford, Under presidents Nathan Knorr, Frederick Franz, and Milton Henschel, Jehovah's Witnesses' expand from 113,000 in 1942 to over 6 million in The current president is Don Adams.

Why a cult? A full denial of Jesus' deity. Salvation not purely by grace alone. You must be a part of the WBTS and strive to be good, upstanding, active Jehovah's Witness.

Oops! The New World Translation, a horribly slanted version. Jesus merely the first created being. Anti-Trinity Jesus' resurrection only spiritual, not physical. Jesus was Michael. Requirements of salvation Two classes of saved people A warped eschatology No hell; just non-existence.

Our Response Try to connect through relationships, even though it may be very hard. Focus on the person of Jesus, the divinity of Jesus, and your relationship with Jesus being your sole source of salvation. Tell your story. Know your beliefs (and theirs); know the Bible; and be ready to stand for your faith.

The Final Word Ephesians 2:8-9 John 14:6 Colossians 1:11-17
