Jehovah's Witnesses base their teachings on the Bible?

"Logically, to enjoy God’s backing, one must teach only what God reveals in his Word and reject teachings based on human wisdom or tradition." - The Watchtower, June 1, 2001, pp. 12-17

Compare:
"All who want to understand the Bible should appreciate that the "greatly diversified wisdom of God" can become known only through Jehovah's channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave." - The Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1994; p. 8
 
"to rely simply on personal Bible reading and interpretation is to become like a solitary tree in a parched land."- The Watchtower, June 1, 1985, pp. 19-20

"They say that it is sufficient to read the Bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home. But, strangely, through such 'Bible reading,' they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by Christendom's clergy were teaching 100 years ago..." - The Watchtower, Aug. 15, 1981, pp 28-29

I AM HE


I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings." Jeremiah 17:10

"The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things: ... and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds." Revelation 2:23
Jesus says, "and all the assemblies will know that I AM HE."

The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. John 5:22-23
It is the Son who judges the minds and hearts. It is Yahweh who judges minds and hearts.

”Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me. You are my witnesses," says Yahweh, "With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he." Isaiah 43:10
"and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts." Revelation 2:23

Jesus says "unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.”" John 8:24

John 18:6 "when He said to them, “I am,” they drew back and fell to the ground."


Jesus says, "I am He, do not fear."
John 6:20 Greek Interlinear

Jesus says, "I am He, do not fear."

Will you listen?
