Scientology is a belief of other species that made humans, and we have implants om our chests that hold bad stuff, and we check our e-meters to see how much bad stuff we have.
Mormonism is sorta of like Christianity, except they have the Book of Mormon, which is similar to the Bible.
Jehovas Witness' are people who claim to have witnessed the death of Jesus I think.
"Jehovah's witness" (JW) and Mormonism are both not Christian. JW and Mormonism are both cults that reject the free gift of salvation in Jesus, so JW and Mormonism both lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire. JW and Mormonism also reject the TRUTH that JESUS IS GOD, so JW and Mormon both have a different and fake "god" that cannot save, and a different and fake "Jesus" that is not the TRUE JESUS. JW and mormonism are idolatry.
JW also rejects the true Bible, and replaces it with the false "NWT". Mormonism has their fake "book of mormon", which is not from God.
The TRUE JESUS loves JW and mormon people so very much, and wants them ALL saved! So JW and mormon people need to get away from JW and mormon, and instead, to believe in the TRUE JESUS for His free gift of salvation! Getting into heaven is truly only by believing in Jesus for His free gift of salvation, without adding ANY of your own works.
Jesus paid for all our sins with His death on the cross! And then Jesus rose from the dead! Nothing else pays for any of your sins, not works, not good deeds, nothing.
So believe in Jesus for His free gift of salvation RIGHT NOW!
Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much!
The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to hell, is by believing in JESUS for His free gift of eternal life in heaven, believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died on the cross for all our sins as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe in Jesus for His free gift of salvation, and you will be in heaven, no matter what!
Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe in Jesus to save you! It is impossible to lose or "leave" salvation (John 6:39-40, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13).
Please pray now: "Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross to pay for my sins and that You rose from the dead, and I thank You for eternal life!" You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die!
i dint know about Scientology , but Mormons sleep with their own family and Jehovah's whiteness Will watch them die for the sake of a blood transfusion
Charles Manson studied under Scientology, Jehovah's Witness do not believe Jesus the Christ of Nazareth is the Messiah and Mormons are steeped in idolatry believing they can become gods and goddesses; enough said?
Remember what you allow yourself to think, see, hear, say and do literally sets into motion God?s
creative powers that form the matrix of life?s reality you find yourself now walking so be circumspect.

Let's start with Mormons aka church of JC of the LDS.
The Book of Mormon was a story book written by a cousin of Joseph Smith. J Smith was a well known con artist of his time. It is about Jesus coming to the Americas about 1000 years. (There has never been any archaeological evidence to support any of the claims in this story)
J Smith claims that he found gold tablets with the story written in another language.
He claims that he used divining stones to translate these tablets. Thet Mormons no longer talk about the divining stones.
He convinced 12 men to sign a paper that saying they had actually seen these gold tablets. 10 of 12 have since recanted their story.
There is no theology in the book of Mormon. it is all a novel about the angel Mormoni.
The whole Mormon religion is made up bit by bit after J Smith was able to convince people that the gold tablets exist.
Note: I am not a member of any religion, nor have I fully studied any of them. I offer here just what I have read in passing or heard from others.
As far as i can tell, Jehovah's Witness believe Armageddon is coming, and only 144,000 humans will survive, but you have to be a Jehovah's witness to be in the group. They believe there is no hell and when you die, you are just in a state of nothing. They believe the bible is an exact science but you have to be on the board of directors to understand it.
Scientology is the newest of the religions and is somewhat based on Buddhism. They believe that each person is a spirit, inhabiting a body and when the body dies, the spirit finds a new one, basically reincarnation. They believe that by confronting your sins and fully exposing all the details, you can be free from burden. I think they acknowledge the existence of God, but they don't have any kind of worship for any entity.
Mormons (also known as LDS or Latter Day Saints) Mormons have two books of religion, the bible and the book or Mormon (Christians have just the bible). They believe God is the supreme being, but he started as a good and ethical man. Mormons believe you can achieve personal salvation by obeying gods rule and being baptized, Christians believe you can not achieve full salvation this way. After death, Mormons believe there will be 3 levels of heaven, and no hell. Bad folk go through a period of punishment, but are then let into heaven.
That's my take on it. Of the 3, Scientology is the most different because it's belief system is based on the person taking charge and fixing themselves, whereas the others seem to be waiting for god to fix things.
I can give a quick run-down of Mormonism (being a Mormon)
We believe in God the Father, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. We look to Christ for our salvation and redemption. We believe that cannon is not closed. We have four books of scripture, the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. We believe that God still calls prophets and apostles to lead the church.
JW - movement founded 1872 by Charles t Russell was originally known as the International Bible Students Association, but its name was changed by Russell's successor, Joseph Franklin Rutherford (1869 ? 1942). they are a christian millennialitsoup whose beliefs are based primarily on the apocalyptic sections of the Bible, notably Daniel and the Book of Revelation. they will NOT perform military service or salute the flag, or participate in blood transfusions, or celebrate holidays. their goal is the establishment of God's kingdom on earth, and they hold that Jesus ? who is believed to be God's first creation rather than one person in a trinity ? is God's agent in this plan. Their national headquarters is in Brooklyn, N.Y.; their major publications, the Watchtower and Awake!,
scientology is a 20th-century religion based on the idea that man is a spiritual being endowed with abilities well beyond those which he normally envisages. He is not only able to solve his own problems, accomplish his goals and gain lasting happiness, but also to achieve new states of awareness he may never have dreamed possible. scientology maintains that the solutions to life's problems are basically simple and within every man?s reach. difficulties with communication and interpersonal relationships, nagging insecurities, self-doubt and despair ? each man innately possesses the potential to be free of these and many other concerns.
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka mormonism) - a non-trinitarian christian restorationist church founded in 1830 by joseph smith after receiving plates of a people who traveled from the old country to the americas beginning about the time of the tower of babel of the bible.....which became the book of mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ. stresses faith in Jesus Christ, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, and the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Spirit. scripture includes the KJV bible, the book of mormon, the D&C and the pearl of great price.
Oh dear, as one of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES I can say that there is a lot of misinformation around about us.
Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian denomination (group) best know for their public preaching work. The believe in an Almighty Creator, identified in the bible as Jehovah. They believe the bible is God's inspired word. Jehovah's Witnesse ARE Christian; they believe that Jesus is God's son (not God himself) and the only hope for mankind. They preach that God's Kingdom is a government under Christ that will one day transform the earth into a paradise garden where all people can live happily.
The preach because they believe the bible commands them to in Matthew 28:19, 20 (see also Acts 20:20).

Jehovah?s Witnesses: Isaiah 43:10
Definition: The worldwide Christian society of people who actively bear witness regarding Jehovah God and his purposes affecting mankind. They base their beliefs solely on the Bible.
What beliefs of Jehovah?s Witnesses set them apart as different from other religions?
(1)?Bible: Jehovah?s Witnesses believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God, and instead of adhering to a creed based on human tradition, they hold to the Bible as the standard for all their beliefs. 2 Tim. 3:16,17
(2)?God: They worship Jehovah as the only true God and freely speak to others about him and his loving purposes toward mankind. Anyone who publicly witnesses about Jehovah is usually identified as belonging to the one group??Jehovah?s Witnesses.? Psalms 83:18
(3)?Jesus Christ: They believe, not that Jesus Christ is part of a Trinity, but that, as the Bible says, he is the Son of God, the first of God?s creations; that he had a pressman existence and that his life was transferred from heaven to the womb of a virgin, Mary; that his perfect human life laid down in sacrifice makes possible salvation to eternal life for those who exercise faith; that Christ is actively ruling as King, with God-given authority over all the earth since 1914. Col.1:15-17;
(4)?God?s Kingdom: They believe that God?s Kingdom is the only hope for mankind; that it is a real government; that it will soon destroy the present wicked system of things, including all human governments, and that it will produce a new system in which righteousness will prevail. Matt.6:9; Daniels 2:44
(5)?Heavenly life: They believe that 144,000 spirit-anointed Christians will share with Christ in his heavenly Kingdom, ruling as kings with him. They do not believe that heaven is the reward for everyone who is ?good.? Rev. 14:1-13, Rev. 5:9,10
(6)?The earth: They believe that God?s original purpose for the earth will be fulfilled; that the earth will be completely populated by worshipers of Jehovah and that these will be able to enjoy eternal life in human perfection; that even the dead will be raised to an opportunity to share in these blessings. Psalms 37:29, 2 Peter 3:13
(7)?Death: They believe that the dead are conscious of absolutely nothing; that they are experiencing neither pain nor pleasure in some spirit realm; that they do not exist except in God?s memory, so hope for their future life lies in a resurrection from the dead. Eccl.9:5,6,10; John 5:28,29
(8)?Last days: They believe that we are living now, since 1914, in the last days of this wicked system of things; that some who saw the events of 1914 will also see the complete destruction of the present wicked world; that lovers of righteousness will survive into a cleansed earth. Matt. 24:3-7; 2 Tim. 3:1-5
(9)?Separate from the world: They earnestly endeavor to be no part of the world, as Jesus said would be true of his followers. They show genuine Christian love for their neighbors, but they do not share in the politics or the wars of any nation. They provide for the material needs of their families but shun the world?s avid pursuit of material things and personal fame and its excessive indulgence in pleasure. John 17:16; John 18:36; Matt.24:14, Matt. 6:24, Ps.46:9, 1 John 2:15-17
(10)?Apply Bible counsel: They believe that it is important to apply the counsel of God?s Word in everyday life now?at home, in school, in business, in their congregation. Regardless of a person?s past way of life, he may become one of Jehovah?s Witnesses if he abandons practices condemned by God?s Word and applies its godly counsel. But if anyone thereafter makes a PRACTICE of adultery, fornication, homosexuality, drug abuse, drunkenness, lying, or stealing, he will be disillusionedpEdam the organization. John 3:16, 1 Co. 5:13, Hebrew 10:26, 2 John 9,10
(The above list briefly states some outstanding beliefs of Jehovah?s Witnesses but by no means all the points on which their beliefs are different from those of other groups. More scriptural basis for the above beliefs can be given.....feel free to email me, any points of interest.)
JW- The guy's knocking on your door, as you read, ignoring them.
Scientology- The most intricate scam ever made... The founder of Scientology was previously a science fiction writer, you know.
Mormonism- This is like Christianity, only it includes the Book of Mormon, which has something to do with alien prophets?
Can someone explain to me the religions of Jehovah's Witness, Scientology, and Mormon
