This "question" seems to be intended primarily to insult and slander Jehovah's Witnesses, rather than to ask any perceivable question. Interestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:
(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.
(Luke 6:22) Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.
(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.
(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.
It seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the 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. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.

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?

Bless your heart...Take a deep breath and listen up. Please don't waste your time trying to debate scripture with the JW's. They are conditioned to never question anything that doesn't come straight from the Watchtower Society in New York. All non-JW's are apostates, according to them.
I think the best thing we can do for JW's is to pray that they will come to see that they follow a man-made organization rather than God's word. Believe me, deep down in their hearts, many of them already question their faith. They are afraid to leave the organization however because to do so is to be cut off from all of their family and friends. It's scary. So let's pray for them and hopefully they'll have the courage to question the teachings of the Watchtower Society and eventually find the peace we know in Jesus Christ.

Well, I don't like JW's knocking on my door and I don't believe their way is the only way...I do believe that you shouldn't slam someone for their religion. Ever. It's theirs. Not yours. They have to answer on judgement day. God isn't going to ask you to answer for anyone but you. So ..howsabout you worry about your beliefs and sins and let others worry about their own. It's called Minding Your Own Business.

Jehovahs Witnesses do count number on heaven and hell. purely no longer contained in the theory you state. Heaven : is the position Jehovah is residing with the spirit creatures and Jesus. Hell : The grave of mankind. (Sheol) the position the useless anticipate the resurrection Jesus taught about. pastime requested to be remembered too. Earth : the position the 'meek will inherit'. .because the paradise Jesus taught .

ChristianCage? You can take anything literally. I take the “Jabberwocky,” a nonsense poem by Lewis Carroll, literally but not the Bible.

Do you have an actual question? Because this isn't a message board or a chat room.
