As we draw closer to what will obviously be the Final Days according to The Book Of Revelation, we will see the various denominations fold. Satan has been infiltrating the denominations. Rainbow flags on churches, pedophile priests, etc. The only religion holding firm is Catholic church. In my mind they just might be the last church standing during Armageddon. Perhaps it's time?

You can follow Islam too if that's your criteria

JWs is the poorest religion. Not making a value judgement, it's just interesting. Maybe.

I have the new world translation bible its nearly identicle to the kjv bible

No surprises on that chart rather than maybe Evangelical/Born Again being so high on the chart. Jews conform to the stereotype and, in my town, we always said for the Protestants, “the rich people were the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians, next were the Methodists and the Lutherans, with the Baptists falling far behind.” One thing I will say about the Jehovah’s Witnesses (in addition to the sheer guts of popping up at everybody’s front door like that) is that they seem to be the most DIVERSE denomination of all. My observation when I went to several of their services back in the day was that all the colors were mixed up together, unlike most of the other more or less segregated denominations. Catholics also straddle a broad range of the population, but still mostly in churches that match their neighborhoods.

Given all my Bible studies, given all the information I have, The Roman Catholic Church is the Church founded by The Lord Jesus Christ. This is made clear.
Well yes, St. Peter “on this rock”, but some of the Eastern churches (for example, Armenian, Assyrian, etc.) may historically be earlier or at least claim to be earlier, defending on how you look at the formation and early development of the church in Rome.

They believe only 144,000 people get to heaven.
Kooky enough for Michael Jackson to be one.

Those that are Catholic call themselves "Catholics", not Christians. HTH

144,000, which is referenced in Revelations, also crops up in Mormonism and Islam but not in the same way as for Jehovah’s Witnesses. No Catholic I know denies being Christian, any more than an Eastern Orthodox or Presbyterian or Methodist. They do focus on Mary, as a sidebar to Jesus, more than Protestants or Orthodox Christians do.

Not a complete explanation of their beliefs
You couldn't be any more wrong.
I'm here to comment as I like on your dumb religion thread not write a book.

the 'roman catholic church' is blatantly satanic.

Catholicism is not of the Nazarene. Simple. One would think you would understand this. I do and I am probaby near "Simple Jack" stoooopid.

Your commentary is inaccurate.
Your account is a gimmick.

Tbh my Dad is JW, also my aunt. Both of my grandmothers were JW
-
Please explain.
One need only examine their doctrine to know the truth. This is true of other false faiths such as that of the LDS/Mormon/Moron tribe of twits.

So behind all your self indulgent pretentious verse, there really is nothing.
You really are a lazy, ineffectual and doubtless effete twatling of a humanoloid. You know exactly what I speak of and yet you think that by luring me into a "debate" you can somehow belittle me and my words.
I shall tell you a truth, nah...a certainty. You will not see Paradise for you do not see the light let alone walk in it. Now then, that you may know I am smarter than you, fuck off little one.
-
You are quick to insult others, especially when your logic is challenged. If you are unable or unwilling to explain your own statements, just say so politely. Be a gentleman.
You do realize that you're doing this for some sort of underlying need to belittle those you disagree with? Of course you do! Whilst the classic definition of a "cult" is a relgion without political power, Catholicism is much more. It is evil and vile. Call it "evile". It is base in its tenets and through the millenia has sought control.
You seek that which you cannot have. To best such as I. You cannot win and are only making your mental impotence painfully obvious to the forums in particular and the interwebs in general. I was once a Christian so I know that you are not a true follower/believer of the Nazarene. Continue as you are and you shall doubtless here the words, "Depart from me. I knew you not!"
The truth of the matter is this: You know Him not. You. And so your dust is shaken and so I say to you depart from here. No one gives a shit about a fake. If you take the truth from the word "live", you are left with "lie". Truth in Latin is "veritas".
Take away the "v" from "live" and again, you are left with a "lie". That would be what you are. Run along now or rather, run away for not even I care about you.
-
You repeat a pattern of using these bloated verbose diatribes- which actually say very little- in attempt to position yourself as an intellectual superior. As to providing actual details to forward the merits of your original statement, you are unwilling or unable.
You are definitely the human equivalent of a participation trophy. FOAD.

Such as?
Works based salvation, infant baptism, praying to Mary and apostles, confession, not alloying clergy to marry or have children, Pope, Cardinals in leadership that didn't exist in New Testament, etc, etc.

Most of those are a problem, except for throwing some works based salvation into the mix. “What goes around comes around”, as they say.

While the JW church will shun homosexuality its a glorified high control MLM, its a shame that it prohibits its members from having enrichment and blood transfusions

Works based salvation is completely contrary to what is taught in the NT. A saved person doing good works is not the same thing as works as a salvation requirement.

Well Ok, but a lot of us who have Christian instincts, still have a hard time wrapping our hands around the concept of good people of other faiths who do good things being shipped straight off to H…L. You may say we are not true Christians but just saying: although a Protestant, I lean more Catholic on that one.

Wrong.
“For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether it is good or whether it is evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:14.
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10.
“What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith, but does not have works? Can faith save him? But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:14-26
Boy do I agree with those!

Wrong! You are confusing judgement with salvation. You are also completely ignoring the whole Book of Romans.

James 2:14-26
New King James Version
Faith Without Works Is Dead(A)
14 (B)What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 (C)If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and (D)one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” (E)Show me your faith without [a]your works, (F)and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works (G)when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see (H)that faith was working together with his works, and by (I)works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, (J)“Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called (K)the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, (L)was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Bystander here and certainly no expert on scripture, but totally on your side of this particular argument as someone coming to Christianity late in life. Faith is the wellspring but, to me, works define Christian character and I certainly hope we all will be heavily judged by our works.

"That which you do, do so in secret. That your Father in Heaven who sees all that is done in secret, will reward you".
So STFU.

Wrong.
'works' r in effect God working thru man (via the Holy Spirit), as man is incapable of godly function apart from divine intervention.
there is none righteous - no, not one.
as the transformative power of God changes the heart and renews the mind of a true believer – genuine works materialize.

And your point is?
Stop jerking off to the Monica Brandt thread.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
