Blasphemous cult that will all burn in hell.

We strive to adhere to the form of Christianity that Jesus taught and that his apostles practiced.

The main reason Jehovah's Witnesses are so despised is because they have returned to what the Bible actually teaches and threw out all the trappings and borrowings from philosophies and pagan religions accumulated by most of Christendom over the last 1700 years or so. Since religion is such a personal and emotional thing, most people resent anyone who seems to threaten their long-held religious beliefs.

Whatever the case may be, this "hatred" is actually an identifier of true Christians. (John 15:19; 2 Timothy 4:3-5; 1 Peter 4:4)

Why are you pretending to be a cultist on 4chan?

“Cult” is a stigmatizing label, an insult which today basically means “a religion I don’t like”.

Theologically there are two main things:

1. Jesus = Michael the Archangel, First creation of God but not God Himself. Granted highest responsibilities such as creation and the ransom sacrifice that allows us to escape the sin that we inherited from Adam. Because Jesus is secondary, a lot of importance is placed on God's original name which is why Jehovah is referenced so often and even inserted all over the New Testament in their translation.

2. An extremely complicated application of Daniel's prophecies and Luke 21:24 that takes the "seven times" of Nebuchadnezzar's madness and the 360 day biblical year to mean that 2520 years after 607 BC (the date they determine the destruction of the first temple based on its construction commencing in 537 BC, the year after Cyrus' Decree) would mark the end of the times of the nations and signal the time of the end (beginning in 1914) in which the generation privy to this end of the gentile times would be the ones to ultimately witness Armageddon. Thus the urgency of their preaching work.

Lots of protestants and others have historically considered Jesus to be the Archangel as well.

nothing new under the sun. The Arianism is the more unique bit.

>virtually all orthodox theologians prior to the Arian controversy in the latter half of the fourth century were subordinationists to some extent,[7] which also applies to Irenaeus, Tertullian,[8][9] Hippolytus, Justin Martyr and Novatian.[10][11][12] It was also found in the Ascension of Isaiah

Right, that. Rather unique amongst self-professed Christians these days.
