Alternatively, you could just ask one of these questions to one of the Jehovah's Witnesses who regularly comes round to offer you the answer from the Bible at a time and place that suits you!
Or, if you have no specific question, ask them for a Bible study.

You could... but that depends on if you believe that they'll give you the right answer anyway smiley - winkeye

I know of several Christians (and Muslims, too) who have invited Jehovah's Witnesses in and had a good chat about the Bible (and the Koran, for my Muslim friends). Are you a Jehovah's Witness?

This is still very much work-in-progress, and actually there's so much stuff out there about this that I'm debating the point of actually finishing this!

Yes.


That simply depends on whether you believe the Bible. They will show the scriptures backing up their answer.

Can I ask what the major differences are in belief between a Jehovah's Witness and a Christian?

Obviously there is the belief that Jesus is the Son of God, who died on the cross for our sins and was resurrected to sit at God's right hand in Heaven, but as the only other religion I've had much contact with during my life is Islam, other areas are unclear to me. I was a confirmed agnostic up till a few months ago!

The first is the most aptly named course I've ever seen on the subject, although clearly it's not being treated correctly. If it were, there would be no second course. Something must be getting lost in the translation.
