Is the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian?

   The answer to the question is, "No. It is not Christian." Like all cults, the J.W. organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity. It denies the deity of Christ, the physical resurrection, and salvation by grace. To support its erring doctrines, the Watchtower organization (which is the author and teacher of all official J.W. theology) has even altered the Bible to make it say what it wants to.
      Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors:

• Taking verses out of their immediate context.
• Refusing to read verses in the entire biblical context.
• Inserting their theological presuppositions into the text.
• Altering the Biblical text to suit their needs.
• Latching onto one verse to interpret a host of others.
• Changing the meanings of words.
• Proclaiming some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines.
• Adding to the Word of God.

      Additionally, the cult requires of its members regular and frequent weekly attendance at their "Bible Study" meetings where they are repeatedly indoctrinated with anti-Christian doctrines. This is done by reading the Watchtower magazine that, basically, does their thinking for them. They are told they will be persecuted when they go door to door teaching their false doctrines, so that when someone disagrees with them, they are justified in being a J.W. They are told they are the only true organization on the earth (like all cults claim). They are strongly encouraged to have friends and acquaintances that are only J.W.’s, thereby keeping outside examination to a minimum. They are told to shun those who leave their group, that way, there is no way to see why someone has left, no way to find out that they are in error from those who have found the truth. They are generally paranoid as I have witnessed in Internet Chat Rooms where, after asking one question about a Bible text, I was banned from a J.W. chat room. Subsequently, my name was passed around to all other J.W. rooms where I was banned from them as well. Apparently, examination of their doctrines is not allowed.
      Primarily, the J.W. organization is a cult because it violates the essential biblical doctrines. The Bible says that Jesus is God in flesh, that Jesus rose from the dead in the same body He died in, and that salvation is by grace through faith. The Watchtower organization denies all three.
      The Watchtower organization is a non-Christian organization that uses its people to promulgate false doctrines, sell a multitudinous amount of literature, and expand its grip into the lives of its members and their families.
      It is a non-Christian cult.
