Founded in the 1870s by Charles Taze Russell, the Jehovah’s Witnesses is cult of Christianity. It is governed by a group of elders who establish all doctrines and practices, and their legal arm is The Watch Tower Society. Among their distinctive teachings are that Jesus is the first created being, and not co-equal with the Father, the idea that the ‘end times’ are at hand, and that only 144,000 Witnesses will be in Heaven. Everybody else, they claim, will live on Earth in God’s restored kingdom. They reject the historical and traditional doctrines of the trinity and Hell, have their own translation of the Bible, and tend toward strict legalism. Those who fail to meet their standards are sometimes disfellowshipped, which cuts off any contact with JW friends and familiy.
Jehovah's Witnesses teach that Jesus was God's first creation, and not God Himself. This is rightly considered heresy, of course... but can you explain why they're wrong about the interpretation of John 1:1, where - they claim - Jesus is "a" god and not "the" God? Video, 5:30
