»»»»»»»»» Prince Talks Jehovah Witness Faith, Gay Marriage, Abortion, Politics, Kingdom Hall Conversions in New Yorker article…
So I learned about The New Yorker interview with Prince from Perez Hilton, who was probably incensed about Prince’s answer regarding gay marriage and abortion and such: That God came down and us humans were doing crazy stuff, and that He had to set us straight.
I was most fascinated finding out that Larry Graham (the “One in a million you…” deep-voiced singer?) turned Prince on to his 7-years-and-counting Jehovah’s Witness faith and Kingdom Hall encountering.
My Aunt and Uncle are Jehovah’s Witnesses…
…like Prince, and my uncle was so happy and watching Prince’s concerts on TV after Prince converted.
I’m Christian — and I don’t talk about faith a whole lot with my aunt and uncle, but their Scriptures sound awfully familiar to the ones in the “regular” NIV, NASB and King James’ Bible. In fact, some witnesses I talked to that came to my door had the NIV version — or told me they did.
So my question is: What’s the real difference? I understand not wanting to celebrate pagan holidays and such.
But do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in John 3:16 and pivotal verses of the Bible saying that Jesus Christ is our sole savior?
I really want to know…
Thanks for your comments. Amen.

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in John 3:16 and pivotal verses of the Bible saying that Jesus Christ is our sole savior?
This is a question that has been around for many years… and a false idea borught about by opposers, because JW’s do not beleive in the Holy Trintiy as a Biblical fact or doctrine. The answer is, YES JW’s beleive that Jesus Christ is is our sole redeemer and only path to salvation and to GOD. I would reccomend you invite the Next JW that comes to your door in and aske this question. A visit to watchtower .org may also help.

Jehovah’s Witnesses differences
Debunking the Jehovah’s Witnesses beliefs:
A) They are at your door to recruit you for enslavement to their watchtower corporation,they will say that “we are just here to share a message from the Bible” this is deception right off.
B) The ‘message’ is their false Gospel that Jesus is ruling in heaven already since 1914.The problem with this is it’s not just a cute fairy tale,Jesus warned of the false prophets who would claim “..look he is here in the wilderness,or see here he is at the temple”
C) Their anti-blood transfusion ban has killed hundreds if not thousands D) once they recruit you they will “love bomb” you in cult fashion to also recruit your family & friends or cut them off. There are many more dangers,Jehovah’s Witnesses got a bad rap for good and valid reasons.
99% of the world has rejected the teachings of the Watchtower Jehovah’s Witnesses as a ‘joke’ but the darker truth is they are a destructive and oppressive organization.
