I didn't know that Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in the pagan doctrine of the trinity, but it makes sense, since they base all their teachings on the bible,, not on false traditions of men. I'm glad to hear that!

Re. "A Christian is a footstep follower of Christ Jesus - one that not only believes in Jesus as the redeemer and savior of mankind, but also does the work he told Christians to do, namely, to share the good news about God's Kingdom. (Matthew 7:21; 28:19,20) Witnesses of Jehovah God do that on a worldwide basis."

J.W.'s don't believe that Jesus is God; they believe in the Trinity of God - it is NOT Christianity!!!!!!!

booo
