Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that they should accept the entire Bible but they also see that parts of the Bible were written in figurative or symbolic language and are not to be taken so literally. They also belive that Jesus is the Savior and Son of God‚ but not a part of the trinity so Jesus is not their almighty God.

I to am a big dreamer and very much enjoy thinking about my future and deciding what I should
