In spite of its many failed prophecies, the Jehovah’s Witness organization teaches that it is the only true religion, and that only its members are true Christians. It claims that no one can learn spiritual truth apart from them. It also teaches that there is salvation only in joining their organization and everyone but Jehovah’s Witnesses will be destroyed at Armageddon.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses organization demands that its members obey and accept, unquestioningly, every command and biblical interpretation given by the organization. The leaders use fear and intimidation to keep members obedient to the organization. The leaders of the Jehovah’s Witnesses have also used their predictions of the end of the world to put fear into the hearts of their followers.

Indeed, and their false teaching and predictions are well documented. http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/TheBIBLEandSoCalledJEHOVAHS-WITNESSES.html

I asked a JW who was serving them for 19 year year what Rm. 8:9 meant, seeing as only 144k are said to have the Holy Spirit in them, and she said she did not know.

But the WTS is not the only ones who made false predictions:

I don’t know how these people can claim that they are the only true Christians when they don’t even believe that Jesus is the Son of God. They believe that Jesus is just another of God’s creations.
