Dear Bobby Smith,

As you might be aware, we are a family owned business and would consider ourselves to be aChristian establishment. Due to the fact that you are apart of this new trendy religion you call“Scientology ”, whose beliefs do not align itself with that of our devout Christian beliefs, you have notbeen chosen for this position. We have decided to go a different way.

Thank you so much for taking the time to come out and meet with our interview team. We enjoyedmeeting you and our discussions.

We wish you much luck in all of your future endeavors, and hope that you one day find the Lord.Thank you for your interest in our organization.

Sincerely,

Tom White

("The Tone Scale In Full”)



Main Differences Between Christians andJehovah’s Witnesses

Jehovah’s Witnesses Christians

Trinity They do not believe in theTrinity. They believe that Jesus

Christ is St. Michael thearchangel. They think the HolySpirit is an “impersonal force”

and not actually God and LordHimself.

They believe in theFather, the Son, and theHoly Spirit that is “God

in three persons”

Jesus Coming In The

Flesh

They do not believe that JesusChrist was God coming in the“flesh” to our earth to save

mankind from their sins.

They do believe inJesus.

Bodily Resurrection Of Jesus Christ

They do not believe in the bodilyresurrection of Jesus. They

believe that Jesus was“annihilated” by God, not risen.They believe that after 3 daysfrom His death, that He was

resurrected as a “spiritcreature” rather than being

resurrected having a new“glorified spiritual body.”

They believe he hadrisen and celebrate itwith Easter.



Continued


Heaven They believe that only 144,000people are going to make it intoheaven. They actually believe that

most of the 144,000 out of their group are already in heaven. Therest of the Jehovah’s Witnessesstill living can only hope to inheritthe earth, not actually make it into

heaven, since this is only reservedfor the special 144,000 chosen

ones.

There is a narrow andwide path. Those who takethe narrow more difficultpath will make it into the

gifts of heaven.

Hell They do not believe in a literal hell where the unsaved and evil peoplewill suffer eternal torment. Theycannot believe that a loving God

could create such a horrible placeof eternal punishment. They telltheir followers that hell is the“grave” where we are buried inwhen we die, and that the wickedwill simply cease to exist and willnot have to suffer any type of eternal punishment and torment.

The wide path is Hell. Itmay be the easy path but it

is not the path to God.

Compare/contrast


Communion The belief of communiondoes not exist. They

believe in the archangelMichael was the begotten

son and their Jesus.

The belief of communionexists. The day of bread

and wine shared betweenthe believes of Christ

Jesus the Savior.

Acts They will not give blood.

The do not believe in

voting.They will not serve in the

Military.

They are to know other religions in order to defend

their own.They are to spread theword of Jesus Christ to

others.



Conclusion

• Importance of Learning Other Religions

• Jesus Christ the Savior

• Summary of Knowledge Gained
