A Glimpse at the Theology of Jehovah's Witnesses

Similar to the cartoon that I posted regarding Mormonism, we see the heretical theology of the Jehovah's Witnesses exposed. The group was founded by Charles Taze Russell (1852-1916). Now, besides the theologies mentioned in the cartoon, Jehovah's Witnesses reject the doctrine of the Trinity, argue that while the atonement removed the effects of Adam's sin, the work of the atonement won't be completed until the faithful survivors of Armageddon return to heaven under the rule the Jehovah. They also refuse to be subject to human government, and deny the existence of a hell of eternal conscious torment, and teach that Satan has been anihilated. Perhaps most famously, they believe that Jesus Christ has returned in 1914.

Admittedly, I'm only fleshing this stuff out from Walter Martin's Kingdom of the Cults.
