I attended a church in Bellingham WA, I lived there about 3 years, and the best sermon I ever heard was one that was pretty well advertised in advance. It was all on the comparison of Christianity (The Bible), and the belief/doctrines of, if I remember right, 3 other religions. I know the JW's was one, Church of Latter Day Saints and maybe there were just those 2, I am sorry I can't remember off-hand. There were members of both of those denominations present, I'd say about 20 and it was a large church, not a mega, wouldn't call it that.
The sermon was so clean that I was amazed how well our pastor presented each church's beliefs/doctrines. I didn't even know about the other 2 (JWs/Mormons) only rumors I'll just say, but all the sermon was so fair in just presenting the beliefs so each of us would know, including the visitors, the actual beliefs and could fairly form our own opinions. Mine was easy, as someone said earlier in this thread, there is only "one door". I'd already decided that some years before, but it was interesting for me to know what others actually believed.
I only wish I knew if there was any chance of me getting a tape of that sermon. I'm glad I saw this thread too and thank the OP as when I saw the words "JW Translation" I had to see what that was all about
I did have a point to this but I seemed to have left it out. I just wanted to say that I think it's "maybe" good to have info on other religions so that if others want to compare, or just educate themselves, "maybe" it's a good idea. I am very new here and it was just a thought, and a reminder of the time I learned something about other religions. Since I was saved, I've never looked back, or for any other God.
