Jehovah’s Witnesses: The term brings to mind pictures of people knocking on our doors, handing us Watchtower magazines, and wanting to have “Bible studies” in our homes. We all know the JW’s are a cult, don’t we? But are most American churches really any different from the JW’s? Is it possible that the very things JW’s do which we think of as wrong or unbalanced are also hallmarks of much of professing American Christianity? After becoming personally acquainted with the JW’s, Matt Drayer is convinced that there are many parallels between them and most of what is called “Christianity” in America today. He argues that the Jehovah’s Witness system is simply another variation on the theme of popular American religion. Discussing nonresistance, modesty, the headcovering, wealth, the kingdom of God, and many other topics, this book brings us face-to-face with the question: Do we need to repent?
