I seem to like Jehovah Witinesses answers here they sound reasonable?

Question

Why do some hate and attack them so much? They use the bible and when I look things up their right. And many Churches are not following the Bible.

Answer 1

You are so right, most Witnesses are capable of speaking to anyone of any religion about any subject, I see that you understand when we answer a ???, we use scriptures to prove a point, whether you believe it or not.
Most of your other answers are mainly the persons thoughts, which are worthless, if someone asks a Bible ???, then the answer should be from the Bible.

Most of the answers you have received, I can see they know nothing really about Jehovah's Witnesses, for instance, "Mr. Mister" should change his name to "Mr. False Statements" everything he said is false, we have 98,000 congregations world wide, and no one charges for anything, books, magazines, bibles, cd's, vcr tapes, we offer all of this "FREE". ( If we charged people for these things, the organization would have to pay "sales tax" we do not, other religions that sell their "cd's, tapes, books," pay "sales tax" This Law went into effect several years ago.)

In these 98,000 congregations, no one receives any "pay" no basket or plate is passed at any of our meetings to collect money, unlike other religions.


The Witnesses’ beliefs, based entirely on God’s Word, the Bible, prevent them from falling into the trap of becoming a sect or a cult. They take a kindly interest in all other people, of whatever religious persuasion. No, they do not try to force these people to change their viewpoint. They endeavor to imitate their Leader, Christ Jesus, by presenting Scriptural evidence of the trouble-free Paradise that will soon be established on earth.—Matthew 28:19, 20; 1 Peter 2:21.

COMMENT: I change nothing in my answer, placed a book with a lady yesterday, it was free, as for getting paid for putting in hours in the Ministry, no one gets paid for this, the Brother or Sister pays for all their expenses.
Jehovah’s Witnesses follow Paul’s fine example. Elders and ministerial servants do not receive a salary or even a stipend from the congregations they serve. Instead they provide for their families like everyone else, most of them by entering the job market. Full-time pioneer ministers also provide for themselves, many working just enough to satisfy basic needs. Each year some Witnesses travel at their own expense to preach in distant areas seldom reached with the good news. If local families invite them to share meals or lodging, they appreciate this but do not abuse such hospitality.

Yes, I will agree with you, there are some every year that leave on their own, and many are disfellowshipped because the offenses that could merit disfellowshipping from the Christian congregation are fornication, adultery, homosexuality, greed, extortion, thievery, lying, drunkenness, reviling, spiritism, murder, idolatry, apostasy, and the causing of divisions in the congregation.

1. You say you were a Minister & received pay for the hours you put in Ministery Service, this must mean you were a JW at one time, what years were you a Minister? And what was your title? How many hours did you devout to the Ministry? How much money were you paid?
2. If you were a JW at one time, why are you not one now? were you disfellowshipped or did you just decide to change religions?

Please answer the ??? to VERIFY that you were a "special pioneer"

How much money were you paid while you say you were a special Pioneer, and how many hours did you put into the Minister, in order to be a special pioneer? And where did you serve as a special pioneer?

If there was a committee of three Elders that talked to these parents, I would not know what was said, nor would you, the Elders would not make it known, if the parents wish to that, they are the only ones that would do it. Elders do not get involved with family problems, unless the husband or wife asks them for advice, and then it would be from the Bible, no personal advice, and if it was not a committee matter, it would still be advice from the Bible, not personal, if you are what you claim to have been, you should know this, I have found out over the years that when information is brought forth by persons that have asked for advice or appeared before a committee the information that you receive is not exactly what was said at the meeting. So I cannot comment on what you have said, because I did not hear what was said between the parties.

Answer 2

Good observations. The answer is right there in the bible, my friend (sorry, couldn't resist the pun).

(2 Timothy 4:3-5) .For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

(2 Corinthians 4:3-4) If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through

Answer 3

I was raised Jehovah's witness and let me tell you the fact they can open the bible to something they want it to say is just using to words they way they want them to read. Do you think it is right for them to make their children outcasts in school? Not allowing anyone in the religion to socialize with anyone outside their religion (they call them "worldly")? What about the fact they disassociate (cast off) any adult who seeks a loving relationship? dating one on one is simply not allowed.
Americans talk about people from other countries coming here to live but don't realize that Jehovah's witnesses don't vote, don't salute the flag, do not honor their country, do not fight for their country... How is that acceptable for them to live and enjoy the benefits of living in a free country but say it is the work of Satan??

BILL, try again mister. The publications are offered on a dontation basis, not free. There is a differance. You talk about how many you have converted.... well answer me this. How many have left the kingdom hall? Oh also... as to the "they dont get paid " statement, try that again. That is BS. People that put in a certain amount of hours per month or year are compensated.

________________________________________
BILL says no but it is yes, I WAS ONE OF THOSE MINISTERS! Ask your elders about it you twit.

___________________________________________

Yes i was a speical pioneer, I was a member till 1998 and after seeing so much hipocrisy and favoritisim i got fed up. I talker to the Elders and they could not quell my issues. Since then i have seen people i grew up with leave, in our small town aprox. 50 have left since i did. Grated i learned the right and wrongs from being in that religion but i have a feeling I could have learned that in ANY religion. they all teach the same fundimental teachings. FYI I was abused as a child and when it was reported to the elders they DID NOTHING! A family with 5 children were being beaten and the elders didnt even feel it should be reported to authories. Tell me, Is that right?

Answer 4

I agree,because when they come to your house,they don't just tell you about Jehovah and Jesus they show you were about in the bible you can find it.so I think that is great the only reason people don't like them is because they have no part in this wicked system,they don't celebrate holidays,and their bible are the same the only thing that is different is they use GODS name JEHOVAH .In the Bible it self says to call him by his name.would you like someone to call you hey man or hey lady, instead of calling ,you by your name?By the way they don't go door to door selling the watchtowers,they don't collect money or get paid for doing that,they do it out of love they want you to open your eyes.chose the path of righteousness so you to won't be cast off along with Satan.

Answer 5

That is wonderful that you like the truth,keep up the good work...and work on a close relationship with our Heavenly Father Jehovah.there will always be in this system,people that speak bad about JW's.This too was also foretold -1Tim.4:1; Jude8,11;2Thess.2:3;Act.20:30 ..BUT remember they hated Jesus first.Wouldn't you rather them hate you for doing something right,then for them to love you.,because you are just like them?most are blinded by Satan or they just don't read their bibles.but we do the work we are suppose to.and Jehovah is loving and patient,kind he is giving so many people chances to change before he destroys all the wicked.

Answer 6

Jehovah's Witnesses are fundamentalists. They adhere to the idiotic belief that the Bible was flawlessly written by God. The best that can be said about them is that they are pacifists. They have been predicting the Apocalypse for several generations now and have always been wrong.

Answer 7

They do NOT use the Bible. They have they're own Bible. It's called The Holy Scriptures, printed by: The WatchTower.

They sell the Bibles to you. They knock on doors to sell Watchtower propaganda.

Every JW gets Leaflets every week. They have to buy them and pay for them there-selves. The only way to get they're money back is to knock on doors and sell it.

Now. Where does a person of God, take it on themselves to sell leaflets and Bibles?
If they have Truth, when is God's Truth, for sale?

Answer 8

I blasted my sterio so it could be clearly heard for like a block whenever they were in my neighborhood, I was like 17...
It may not have been very CHRISTIAN to play VAN HALENS RUNNING with the DEVIL, or some OZZY, or some other heavy metal which would discourage them from knocking on my door.
They are a cult, nothing more...

Answer 9

well the Jehovah Witinesses has added a few book to their bible, that is not in MINE...

Answer 10

Well, you already partly answered your own question:

"They use the Bible"
