Jehovah's Witnesses

[chatpilot]

I once had a good two hour debate with some Jehovahs witnesses once it was an interesting exchange of information.They dont celebrate traditional xmas holidays since they correctly deduced that those holidays all have pagan origins.They dont go to war since they dont believe that they should meddle in the affairs of government bodies.They dont believe in the trinity as taught in most mainstream christian groups.They call the Holy spirit Gods active force and they do not personify it.They dont believe in modern day miracles because they teach that miracles were only to help establish the church of Christ here on Earth and once that was achieved there was no longer any need for miracles.When I was in the ministry I used to buy their materials for my own personal knowledge as to their teachings.Their endtime teachings are very different from mainstream christianity.They believe that the saved will be 144,000 that have been predestined for salvation etc its a long and complicated stroy that I do not wish to get into right now.Here in the states the JW are not considered part of mainstream christianity and are not recognized by the other churches as such.They are called a religious sect here by the rest of the so called christian community.
