By exclusive I mean contradictions that are only in the Jehovas Witness version of the bible, not in the bible in general.
Just a few general points about the beliefs of JW's.
JW's don't take a stand on how old the universe is, the JW's I've met believe the universe to be billions of years old.
JW's don't take a stand as how the universe was created. So big bang theory is all good.
JW's don't take a stand on how old the earth is. But they do take the stand that Noah's flood must have happened recently (6000-10000years)
JW's don't believe in hell. After you die and if you've been too "naughty" you don't get ressurected to an infinite afterlife in paradise like the good people. You just die and will never feel a thing.
JW's believe that 144000 people go to heaven to rule by side with Jesus, to rule the people ressurected on paradise. That wouldn't be slavery but just making laws and things of guidance or such with jesus, to the people on the paradise.
The paradise is just an better earth for your knowledge...
JW's to my knowing do insist on biblical inerrancy.
I'd like this thread to be alike in substance to "What is the biggest bible contradiction" (http://EvC Forum: What is the biggest bible contradiction? -->EvC Forum: What is the biggest bible contradiction?) except this time concerning the Jehovas Witness edition of the bible.
I've been having a lot of fun (maybe even learned something) on the other thread, I hope here too.
I don't know that very much about JW's believes or the bible so be free to correct me.
