Do JWs have books besides the Bible that they view as "sacred" or "inspired"?
score:6
Accepted answer
No, it's only the Bible. A full description of how Jehovah's Witnesses determine whether a book is canonical can be found in the entry for "Canon" in the book, "Insight on the Scriptures, Vol. 1."
The only books accepted as inspired by God are the 66 books of the Bible commonly accepted by Protestants.
