The Jehovah’s Witnesses and Jesus Christ: A Biblical and Theological Appraisal – By Bruce M. Metzger
While conducting research for an article regarding the New Living Translation of the Bible, I came across a rather insightful article by Bruce M. Metzger. It was posted on a site called Bible Research, By Michael Marlowe. It appears to have a creative commons license, so I am posting it here as well. In it, he give a brief, albeit concise summary of the cult/sect. Featured is the view Jehovah’s Witnesses have and espouse concerning Our LORD and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, and aberrent view I might add. We as Christians must always be prepared to give a response for the hope that is within us 1 Pet 3:15-16.

Yes, this is an appeal,
But its not what you think, well sort of. It involves your participation, as appeals do involve participation upon those to whom the appeal is made. But this appeal differs in the sense that, no one is going to call upon you, send you any mail asking for money, but it will require you to give, which I will explain momentarily.
I’m not going to give you statistics, you can find those all over the net. You don’t need numbers because you see the faces everyday. You see them all over. Enough to know that there are too many. Maybe depending upon where you live, you can’t go 1 block without seeing their faces. People, who are, Homeless, i.e. without shelter.
There’s something wrong with that word isn’t it? Homeless. If you keep saying it over and over in your mind you start to see what I’m saying, the word just doesn’t sound right. Those without a home. Like who, in their right mind would be without some place to live, given a choice, right? Many. Many find themselves sometimes through no fault of their own, and many who made wrong choices, both find themselves in a homeless situation.
But let’s face it. We know why people are homeless. We say society is @ fault, the government, some unforeseen disaster, or the economy. Whatever reasons we come up with, never really get us to the heart of the matter.
