The answer to the question is, "No. It is not Christian." Like all non-Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witness organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity. It denies the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection, and salvation by grace. This alone makes it non-Christian. To support its erring doctrines, the Watchtower organization (which is the author and teacher of all official Jehovah's Witness theology), has even altered the Bible to make it agree with its changing and non-Christian teachings.
Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors:
Taking verses out of their immediate context.
Refusing to read verses in the entire biblical context.
Inserting their theological presuppositions into the text.
Altering the Biblical text to suit their needs.
Latching onto one verse to interpret a host of others.
Changing the meanings of words.
Proclaiming some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines.
Adding to the Word of God.

The Watchtower organization has claimed to be the prophet of God (The Watchtower, April 1, 1972, p. 197) yet it has made numerous false prophesies. The excuse given for their false prophecies has been to quote Proverbs 4:18 which says, "But the path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established." Whether or not the "light gets brighter" or not does not change the fact that the Watchtower made false prophecies. The Bible says in Deut. 18:20-22, ""˜However, the prophet who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded him to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. And in case you should say in your heart: "How shall we know the word that Jehovah has not spoken?" When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word does not occur or come true, that is the word that Jehovah did not speak..."
If the NWT condemns false prophesying and states that it is proof that God is not speaking through that prophet, then doesn"™t this prove that the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society is not speaking for God?

I took a look at the Jehovah Witness web page and it sure looks to me like JW's do not believe Christ is divine. I belive that is funamental to all Christianity. Every denomination that I know of from Roman Catholic to fundamental protestants to the least fundamental protestant denominations belive in the diety of Christ.The diety, death and resurection of Christ for the purpose of the remission of man's sin is IMO the common thread of all Christians. It's probably the only thing you could get them all to agree on. If JW's don't believe that, how could they be considered to be a Christian religion. That's not bashinganybody, it's just factual. Christ is at the center of all Christian faith, that'skind of why its called Christiantity don't yo think?

But it's alright for you to be telling us that we are not believers, cause we don't believe the way you do?

Hey cataway you can bear the burden for the Mormans for awhile. Sometimes my christian brothers wake up and want to pick on a piticular group. Although my beliefs are different than the JW I can honestly say I have never had a christian come to my door and witness to me. Since this is a Hunting and Religion forum and not a Hunting Christian forum in my opinion no one group should ever be put above another or ganged up on.
