Maybe so, but we most certainly are not disfellowshipped or apostates, a disloyal person who betrays or deserts his cause or religion.

The only reason for your ???, is to receive negative answers, so let's take a survey since you like to ask & receive.

Let's take a "survey" 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. JW's are in 235 lands & islands, we respect the flag of each country unlike most christian religions, 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?
I can think of a President of the U.S.A. that saluted or said the pledge of allegiance every day, yet He had to leave office because of wrong doing, and the deliberate act of deviating from the truth. So the saluting and pledge is not what makes you a good person, it's obeying God's Word, that does.

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?

for one thing How could you say something like that God has created each one of us differently so I don't get how you could you believe we are all like that let me ask you are you an emo, goth, nerd, bully, I don't know about you but I always hated when people would categorize other people because of who they hung out with another thing Jehovah's witnesses are some of the most joyful people you could ever meant in this wicked world i recently visited bethal and the people there work hard there but as I toured I didn't see one of them without a smile now third to say we are brainless would be a big mistake we recently had a talk at our congregation on how we are a well educated group all of us can read and in countries where education is not a big thing jw who are not able to read are being taught.

Jesus was a great Jehovah's Witness for he witnessed regarding his Father's Kingdom all during his ministry. Anyone who witnesses about God and his purposes is a Witness of Jehovah. We spend billions of hours each year doing that. How about you? Are you letting people know that God's Kingdom is a real government with his Son Jesus ruling as King. Do you warn them about God's war against the wicked, like Noah did? Do you let them know that soon Jesus who has been given the authority, will resurrect all people who have died, back to life? We are in the last days and people need to know these things. Meek ones need to be taught for they will inherit the earth as Psalms 37:9-11 promises us__"For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."
Remember too, that many whom Jesus preached to, thought he was annoying, so much so, that they had him put to death as a criminal---He was persecuted and that's how Jehovah's Servants feel today__just as our King and Saviour felt.

Have you spoken to a Jehovah's Witness before? We are one of the happiest people in the world. We are certainly not stupid. As for annoying, what about us annoys you? Is it our preaching work? We are doing what Jesus said in Matthew 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you."

We respect your decision if you refuse to hear the message so that is no reason for you to say we are annoying.

I have met jws with a sense of humour - but if you are generalizing that a particular group of people share certain characteristics then the fault has to lie not with the individuals themselves but with the organization they all belong to and are enslaved by.

You obviously don't know any Jehovah's Witnesses, do you?

They are some of the happiest people on earth.

As far as the insults go..."The taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones." (ECCLESIASTES 7:9 )

I feel sorry for them. Every day their dumb leaders tell them that Jesus Christ is merely the son of a greater Father Creator and Jesus Christ is really Michael instead of the Lord of lord and Kings of kings like it says in Revelation. In fact, Revelation is so against a diminished Jesus, that they had to rewrite a JW version of Revelation.

Jehovah's Witnesses - see my website - Jesus Christ is Jehovah God in a visible body. Please start reading the real Bible instead of the JW version.

No. They are intelligent. Social and hard-working people.

I do not believe in their faith, but I have had wonderful friendships with this denomination. Yes, the can be offended just as you can be.
