Started Watchtower 1879 – informal following in the millions, but organized only a distributorship of tracts (100,000 books and 800,000 magazines printed daily)
Followers called: Bible Students
Joseph F. Rutherford (1869-1942) lawyer took over and officially named group “Jehovah’s Witnesses” in 1931
Unusual Beliefs
The term “Jehovah” is not found in the Hebrew Bible – only in the Jehovah’s Witness translation “The New World Bible”. Jewish custom to avoid pronouncing the divine name led them to write yhwh (Yahweh) in texts and read adonai (the Lord). In ignorance, later the vowels of adonai combined with the tetragrammaton to get Jehovah.

Ask the Christian: “Could you ever become god?”
He should reply: “No, because I am a human being.”
Ask the Christian: “Was Jesus a human being?”
He should reply: “Yes.”
Inform the Christian: “Therefore, he could never be God.”
The Baby God
Christian insists that Jesus was the son of Allah, but that he and Allah are one and the same. Inform the Christian:
“Cows have calves; little cows. Cats have kittens; little cats.
Humans have children; little humans.
When Allah has a son, what is he? A little Allah? If so, you have two Allahs.”
For Catholics (Most Filipinos) who say: “Jesus was the son of God and not God.”
Ask the Catholic: “Don’t you say: Holy Mary Mother of God in your novena?”
He should reply: “Yes”
Ask the Catholic: “If Mary was the Mother of God, what was her son but a God?”
Ask the Catholic: “Where is Mary referred to as Mother of God in the New Testament?”
Ask the Catholic: “Can God have a mother?”
How the Christians strayed
The Messenger of Allah (?) said:
“Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians have exaggerated the praise of Jesus son of Mary, for I am only a servant, so say, ‘He is the servant of Allah and His Messenger.’”
[Al-Bukh?r?, no. 3445]
The following chapter shows parts of the Bible that invite to the worship of God alone
The Bible states the First Commandment as, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods besides Me.”(Exodus 20:2-3)
This is the God of Moses (peace be upon him). It was He who sent Jesus as His servant and Messenger, and not as a god to be worshipped.
