Can anyone explain, what the hell, Jehovah's witnesses are about?

Answer 1

Self prophecizing and declaring themselves true and everyone else false. Going door to door stating they are true and everyone else is false. They do not realise that others read the Bible too. That others also evangelise and that others are also carrying out acts in the name of Jesus Christ - one with the Father.

Answer 2

Let's take a "poll" and get the opinions (of people) by asking specific questions.

1. Were any of you ever a Jehovah's Witness?

2. Did you just decide to leave without a reason?

3. Was there a reason?

4. Were you disfellowshipped?

5. If you were disfellowshipped, for what reason?
Here are some reasons one can be removed from
the Congregation, please choose one or more.

Some of 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.

6. Or is it just because you hate what we believe?

7. Why do you think, the prisons are full of so-called Christians, why is it that so-called Christians are the ones that "burn, spit, step on the "flag" and show disrespect not only to the flag but to the country they live in?

8. Is it because of people that could care less about
God's rules that are layed out in the Bible, you
people have 3 things on your brain, Catholics,
Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses.

9. Why don't you people wise up and start acting like a
Christian, isn't that what most of you claim to be?

Has your minister, priest or religious leader mentioned this wonderful hope to you? Of course they have not, most clergymen say nothing about it. In fact, many do not even believe the Bible. This is an important reason why Jehovah’s witnesses call at the homes of people of other religions.

The efforts of Jehovah’s witnesses to approach people in public and at their homes are rooted in the Word of God. Jesus himself went directly to the people, and he instructed his apostles and disciples to do likewise.



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.

Recently a clergyman in Brooklyn, New York, obtained a copy of the book The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life. He was so impressed with the chapter dealing with prayer that he used the book to teach members of his church this chapter in a special meeting. Later he was asked by one of them, “Are you teaching us out of those Jehovah’s witnesses’ books?”

He replied: “It is the truth, isn’t it? When you want Sunday-school literature, you buy it from several sources, don’t you? Well, Jehovah’s witnesses teach the truth. Furthermore, when you see Jehovah’s witnesses with the Watchtower magazine, you ought to take it, because they print the truth.”

Answer 3

Contrary to popular opinion, they are Christians and in my opinion, more Christian than most. They believe that Jehovah is the only god and do not believe in the trinity. They recognize Jesus as the only way to God.

All of their beliefs they back from the Bible. People love to say the don't have a real bible because it's 'different', but the truth of it is that they use the New World Translation, which they commissioned and it was translated from older texts that was are more accurate. KJV was translated from Latin vulgate, this goes straight to the original sources. They are not the only ones to use that version, either.

If you really want to know about them, I suggest you ask them and then study up on it yourself because there are a lot of people out there who don't know anything but hearsay and won't give you a correct answer. They have a website for this at http://www.watchtower.org/.
BTW your question was kinda rude, I would also suggest you try to be a little more respectful in the future, not only to JWs but to everyone :)

Answer 4

Jehovah's Witnesses are readily shown to be a cult that is only loosely based upon Scripture. Watchtower bases its beliefs and doctrines on the original and expanded teachings of Charles Taze Russell, Judge Joseph Franklin Rutherford, and their successors. The Governing Body of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is the only body in the cult that claims authority to interpret Scripture. In other words, what the Governing Body says concerning any Scriptural passage is viewed as the last word and independent thinking is strongly discouraged. "Avoid independent thinking ... questioning the counsel that is provided by God's visible organization .... Fight against independent thinking" (The Watchtower, January 15, 1983, Pp 22,27 as quoted in The Kingdom of the Cults, Martin, p97).

Answer 5

It was started by a man called Milton and a book 'paradise lost, paradise found;. Essentially they believe they are the chosen ones. Frankly Ive never met an unpleasant jehovah's witness, but usually manage to get rid of them as politely as possible from my doorstep when i wear my vampire teeth and cloak. One of their beliefs is that they shall not give or receive blood.

Answer 6

Jehovah's Witnesses have the true religion, and base all of their teachings on the bible.

Even the Mormons know that the Jehovah's Witnesses are a bunch of crack pot cultists..........

Answer 8

Wow, the manner in which you asked that question was rude but nonetheless if you really want to know go to our website and stop listening to people's ignorant opinions.

Answer 9

they are deceivers ok, they dont even celebrate birthdays or holidays and they want you to give up your school life or work life and sell books door to door... their way of religion is very far off and they dont believe in saving your life if you end up in the hospital needing blood to survive, they will never give you any even if you are family.
