If your assumption is based upon the figures of 8.7 million as proof of God’s spirit then every other Christian denomination could claim the same. The Mormons have 15 million members which is much higher. They also demonstrate with words and deeds. There are numerous other denominations which will make the same claim as you did. This is clear proof that each denomination can grow and be organised without the spirit of God. Can you demonstrate the complete Chaos ? By the way, I do not follow any denomination but I have an open mind as a human being. Truth is truth and never changes. This is my assumption about a true God. Regards :)</description>

		<description>Whenever an article like this appears, there&#039;s the usual crop of haters that pop up trying their hardest to spread lies and half-truths about the Witnesses. Truth becomes evident by words AND deeds, and the Witnesses continue to show by their words and deeds since the late 1800s (back when they were called Bible Students) that they are God&#039;s people. God blesses them for their efforts. Besides, without God&#039;s spirit, there&#039;s no way 8.7 million people (the size of some countries) could organize themselves to do this global ministry. It would be complete chaos. Only God&#039;s powerful spirit makes it possible.</description>

The difference between a Cult and Jehovah’s Witnesses is.... with a Cult, it’s very easy to get into but very difficult to get Out. Wirh Jehovah’s Witnesses, its difficult to get into but very easy to get... Out!</description>

I believe you are very mistaken Jehovah witnesses do believe in a resurrection. They use John 5:28,29 and many others scriptures to prove  that . It’s a bases of Christianity not to believe it would deny Jesus his existence. Jehovah witness’s are Christians and follow the Bible very closely.</description>

		<description>This reads like an article in one of their magazines. I wonder who wrote it? 

Be wary. This is a cult. They&#039;ll deny it up and down, but check out jwfacts.com and see for yourself.</description>

Many religions shun &quot;apostates&quot;.  That doesn&#039;t make it any better, but shunning is fairly common.  I just wish JW would be a little more up front about some of their beliefs, like the fact that they don&#039;t believe in the resurrection.  Many would call the resurrection a foundational Christian belief.  Why give out Biblical tracts if you don&#039;t believe what is actually written in the Bible?  Why wear the sheep&#039;s clothing?</description>

		<description>For all the good they are doing by offering bibles and study aids for free, there is a VERY dark side.  if you leave the religion you are dead to them. they will not talk to you, unless required in business or family matters.  Children as young as 10 are baptized (officially joining) into the religion.</description>
