If by JW you mean Jehovah's Witness, not me. I don't want to belong to a false manmade cult. I am a born-again Christian and proud and honored to be one

I'm one of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses!
For my Brothers and Sisters in the Truth, please keep in mind that the hateful, unchristian-like comments from others here is one of many different kinds of persecution used by the adversary. The purpose is not only to cause the servant of God to shrink back but to poison the minds of others so that they will not listen to the preaching of the good news. Of course, no one likes to have vile language hurled at him or lies told about him. But Jesus said that this was no cause for alarm but, rather, the contrary. “Happy are you when people reproach you and persecute you and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake.” And just why should we be happy under such unpleasant treatment? “Rejoice and leap for joy, since your reward is great in the heavens; for in that way they persecuted the prophets prior to you.”—Matt. 5:11, 12.
JESUS CHRIST was accused of being a drunkard, a glutton, a Sabbath breaker, a false witness, a blasphemer of God, and a messenger of Satan. He was also accused of being subversive.—Matthew 9:34; 11:19; 12:24; 26:65; John 8:13; 9:16; 19:12.
After Jesus’ death and resurrection, his disciples were likewise the target of serious accusations.
Paul was later accused of being a “pestilent fellow and stirring up seditions among all the Jews throughout the inhabited earth” and of trying “to profane the temple.” (Acts 24:5, 6)
Evidently, this new group established by Jesus Christ was considered by some to be a religious group with radical views and practices that clashed with what was accepted in those days as normal social behavior. Undoubtedly, many today would have considered the Christians a destructive cult. Many believed the accusations against Jesus and his disciples. Yet, as you probably know, every one of these charges was false! The fact that people said these things did not make them true.

If J.W is referring to Jehovah's Witnesses, then yes, I am proud to be numbered among the currently over 6 and a half million people worldwide who eagerly spend their time and energy to witness about our magnificent God, Jehovah, his Son and our king, Jesus Christ, and the kingdom which will soon establish its blessings over the entire earth.

My whole family are JW's, because I did not share their ideals they have disowned me, I spent 14 years going to the kingdom hall, being abused by my father as in violent punishment for speaking up for myself, he is a presiding overseer, one of the top elders. He has alone forced his will on my family, with all I remember about the faith, LOVE, FORGIVENESS, JUDGEMENTAL, one eyed with tunnel vision.
23 years I have tried to communicate and keep in touch, but all I get is "get lost or start going back to the faith and I will be reinstated to my family, I have given up and now feel that JW'S are hypocritical to what the bible and themselves preach. They do lie, they do judge and use gods name to appoint themselves this power! They also believe that they alone will be saved and the rest of mankind will be destroyed by JEHOVAH and his son JESUS will be given the power to do this, I feel sorry for all those people who are JW'S the religion is full of flaws.

Jehovah's Witnesses are the most idiotic collection of heretic non-Christians in the world. They call themselves "Christians" (note the word Christ in there), and they do not believe in the divinity of Christ (the "son" part of the Trinity), thus defeating the point of calling oneself a Christian.

There are some very hateful answers coming from some who claim to be Christian. Christianity is a religion based on love and kindness. Hmmm..... As Jesus said "You will know them by their fruits"
