Greetings WarmPotato,

Both believe Michael is Christ

JWs seem to claim this, but I thought most SDAs these days believe in the Trinity. Possibly some equate God the Son with Michael. (My own assessment of what you have listed: Both are wrong).

Both believe in Annhilationism

Yes. (I agree)

.Both believe in Paradise on Earth

JWs and SDAs have different views on the 1000 years. SDAs believe in going to heaven and a burnt earth during the 1000 years and only after this coming back to the earth. JWs believe in 144,000 going to heaven and the rest on earth during the 1000 years. (Both are wrong).

Both emphasize fight against worldly influences
Both believe in day for a year principal

Yes. (I agree). Perhaps you should give your own simple endorsement or rejection of the items on your list. Perhaps a list of their numerous differences would be also interesting, and again if you endorse or reject these.

Kind regards
Trevor
