Is Jehovah's Witnesses false?

Secular response: Those who believe in a religion will always tell you that their religion is true. Those who do not believe in a religion will tell you that the religion is false, or, if it is closely related to their own religion, may tell you that it is misguided. Jehovah's Witness response: JEHOVAH GOD deeply cares for us and wants us to benefit from his loving direction. If we worship him in the right way, we will be happy and will avoid many problems in life. We will also have his blessing and his help. (Isaiah 48:17) There are, however, hundreds of religions that claim to teach the truth about God. Yet, they differ greatly in their teachings about who God is and what he expects of us.
