Part of the problem is that the JWs are a cult. The link below explains a lot of there theology.

What is "mouth music"? Is that something you made up? First of all, if you know anything about Christianity, you would know that Mormons are not a real religion. Second, I've never heard of "Church of Jes"! Do you mean Church of Christ. Jesus Christ! His name is Jesus Christ. Are you afraid to type his name. Third, who do you think you are to have to power to change the beliefs of these churches?!?!?!? I think you are the one who needs to change your religion!

Ummm, Mormons believe in Jesus.  They just believe in more than Jesus.

Of the 3 cults you mentioned, 2 of them created their own gospel or rewrote the Bible to the point, it almost supports their claims.  Christ is a Lord, but not GOD in their teachings.\n\nChurch of Christ came out of the same time era, but seem to recognize Jesus and God have always existed.  Its founder had dealings and influence from mormon and advent teachings of works based salvation.\n\nThere is a scale.  If you REPENT of EVERY sin before you die AND IF you are baptised BEFORE you die, THEN you may earn your way to heaven with enough work credit.  They also do not believe in mixing with other churches for mission work and so forth.  They never have sex standing up as someone may think they are dancing. (tacky, but funny joke told to me by C of C)  They don't dance or believe in music for worship.\n\nThe other denominations you mentioned, while having many differences, do believe Christ was "God with us".  We are saved by grace, not works and the Holy Spirit, like Jesus is part of GOD.  They existed and have always existed.  Those parts are often called the Trinity.\n\nThe JW is an ugly little cult.  They use moderate to intense pressure to keep their members.  They deny Christ and God are one, they deny Christ was crucified on a cross, they deny he arose in body and spirit.    Their leaders are "prophets" and what they say supersedes the Bible.   ONLY they can interpret Biblical truth.  Their members must have their insight to understand the "real" meaning.\n  \nThey deny heaven other than for 144,000 of their cult. Everyone else OF THEIR CULT that is "good" enough stay for eternity on earth.  Everyone that is bad is just "dead'.  They deny hell.  \n\nThe cult started as a publishing company selling tracts and they still raise most of their money selling literature and real estate.  Base out of NJ, they renamed their home office "Bethel".  They attract a large number of Spanish speaking followers because in Spanish the word GOD or Lord in English is often shown as Jehovah in Spanish.  Their followers are often poorly educated, that having little to do with their beliefs as they indoctrine and use a large amount of social pressure and guilt to keep members active.\n\nThe JW and LDS both teach Jesus was a created being.  Created in an existance before man, but created.  \n\nLDS claim Jesus is a brother of Lucifer, the fallen angel.  You may become a god yourself just like Jesus and have your own world.  Their leaders are "prophets" and what they say supersedes the Bible.  Their secret preistly order swears blood oaths and wears "magic underwear" to ward off spirits.  The average members is not aware of the deeper cult actions of the preisthood.  The average mormon is well educated and doctrined and taught specific methods for attracting people of other faiths to theirs.  They will come into other churches to lure aways strays.

Yes, they are. They have been a recognized religion for many years, the world over. Check out their official website below for any accurate information you may be looking for on them and their beliefs.\n\nAn examination of their faith will show unmistakably that their teachings and practices are in complete harmony with the Holy Bible.\n\nThey don't change or revise the scriptures to fit their interpretation. If anything, they put BACK into the Bible what most other religions take out, most notably God's personal name.\n\nNOTE: Ignore the last comment below, as the comments reflect personal bias, prejudice, and just plain ignorance, as evidenced from the start of their ramblings by calling them a "cult". This individual purposely twists and distorts information to fit his own personal prejudice and the comments cannot be taken seriously.

Yes but  They like so many others have other books and other prophets.  Joseph Smith for instance, was not a prophet of God, but they would say yes.  There are many things they do that the Bible says not to do.  Not bashing, just telling the truth and I can back it up with a lot of scriptures and Mormon statements if you would like.

I believe the term is actually an occult state, not a cult state. I'm not 100% sure what that is, however, but I can tell you that occult literally means "hidden" if that helps.

Of course. All religious groups, as well as other types of groups, are technically "cults". However, in modern times, the word has changed to reflect a new meaning in which one cult will battle it out with another cult by calling them a "cult". These days, it's generally a derogatory term, and there is something of a cult paranoia in our society. Almost every religious person, to people of another competing faith group, are potential cultists. The word carries so much hysteria that new terms such as "New Religious Movements" or "Emerging Religions" have been coined to describe non-mainstream belief systems, in lieu of automatically labeling them with the offensive term "cults".

In the super-mystical realm of Yahoo, JDism is a parody religion. Click on my dragon picture, click on my 360 link, scroll down to my groups, and click on the avatar with the body of an ape, and the head of a man (Darwin).\n\nJim is a spectre, he may be listening...

groups like the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses object to the label "cult" because it often gets an emotional reaction as well as is a label they want to avoid.\n   The definition I use (and other Christian ministries and theologians use as well) for "non-Christian cult" or "non-Christian religion" is a group that may or may not include the Bible in its set of authoritative scriptures. If it does include the Bible, it distorts the true biblical doctrines that effect salvation sufficiently so as to void salvation.1  If it doesn't use the Bible, it is a non-Christian religion and does not participate in the benefit of divine revelation.\n     In Christian bookstores, there are almost always 'cult' sections which include the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.

Except for religious differences, Mormons are just like everyone else. They are Christians, and anyone who knows the meaning of the word 'christian' would see that very plainly. It's right in the name of the church. It is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
