If these claims are true, one would expect the teachings of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society to be in accord with the plain and basic teachings of Scripture. If these claims are these, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society has to be considered disseminators of false doctrine, deceiving and being deceived, a pseudo-Christian cult.

 The following contrast between the Bible and the theology of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society (as represented by the Jehovah's Witnesses), proves that JW's are victims of an organization representing anything but the God of the Bible.

 The Bible in Contrast with the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society:

 

Orthodox Christianity teaches	Jehovah's Witnesses teach
there is only one true God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, distinct Persons in the triune God head (Isa. 43:10,11; 44:6,8; Mark 2:5-12; John 20:28; Heb. 1:8; Acts 5.-3,4,- 2 Car. 3:17,18)	there is only one God (Jehovah) denying the triune nature of God (the Trinity), stating that Satan is the originator of the trinity doctrine (Let God Be True, p.100; Should You Believe in the Trinity?, p.31)
that Jesus Christ is the God/Man, Creator of all things (John 1:1-3; 14; Col. 1:16)	that Jesus is a god, a created being who was Michael the Archangel before being born as a perfect man, raised a spirit creature, and is once again know in heaven as Michael the Archangel (Reasoning from the Scriptures, pp.217,218; 416,417);
the Holy Spirit is a Person, fully God (Acts 5:3,4; 2Cor. 3:17,18)	the Holy Spirit is merely a powerful force that God causes to emanate from himself to accomplish his holy will (Reasoning from the Scriptures, p. 381 ;Aid to Bible Understanding, p. 1544)
salvation is provided by God through the atoning work of Jesus Christ and is available to all who receive Him as Lord and Saviour (Rom. 3:22-26; John 1:12;Acts 16:31; 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 7:24-2 6)	that only an elite group of Witnesses, the 144,000, or the anointed ones are presently credited with Christ's righteousness; they alone are born-again and will reign with Christ in heaven (Reasoning from the Scripture, pp. 308,309); all other people known as the other sheep or the great crowd may have a chance at eternal 4fe on earth (Reasoning, p.309)
that we are saved by grace through faith apart from self-righteous works (Eph. 2:8,9)	salvation depends on one's works A person must first come to Jehovah's organization for salvation ... and then comply with everything they teach (Watchtower, Feb. 15, 1985, p. 16; July 1, 1947, p.204; Nov. 15, 1981, p.21)
that the soul continues to exist consciously after death (Isa. 14:9-11; Luke 1 6:19-31; Rev. 6:9-11), and those who reject Christ as their Saviour will suffer conscious eternal punishment (eternal separation from the presence of God (Matt.25: 41, 46;Rev. 14:10,11; 20:10,15)	that the soul is not the immaterial aspect of a human being that survives the death of the physical body (Reasoning from the Scrip­ tures, p.375); that hell is a God-dishonoring doctrine and eternal punishment can nowhere be found in the Bible (Reasoning from the from the Scriptures, p.175; that death ends all conscious existence, Hell is the grave, and the fate of the lost will be annihilation - they will simply cease to exist (Watch-tower, Oct. 1989, pp. 3-7)
the plain truths of the Bible maybe understood by all believers, being illumined and applied by the Holy Spirit (2 Tim. 3:16; 1 John 2: 27)	that the Bible can only be interpreted by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, and no individual can learn truth apart from them (Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1967; p.587; Dec. 1, 1990, p.19)
