Hated without good cause like Jesus said? See the good they have done for ALL of our freedoms and rights about killing anyone at ALL! What other religion can honestly say that with hand on their Bible? NOT ONE! See website before giving an answer. The facts are there from the ACLU!

Jehovah's Witnesses have been persecuted world wide for their beliefs. In the US they were victims of mob violence, which many people may be surprised to hear, especially since we live where there is so much "freedom".
While Jehovah's Witnesses were suffering from these things in the US, the Witnesses in Germany were persecuted by Hitler. They were the only prisoners at the concentration camps that could have walked out and been free if they simply would sign a statement denouncing their religion...the majority refused. They had stood up to Hitler when others were too afraid to do so.

Notice all the related topics on the same page as this article.
Jehovah's Witnesses are still being persecuted to this day. We know that it is going to get worse.

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.

If that doesn't do it for ya, pick up a newspaper or try attending a witch/vampire/demon convention, jail, party/crack/drug house, a KISS concert, your neighborhood bar/pub/tavern, a tattoo shop, and/or a book store.
Oh, and while you're visiting ANY of these fine establishments, pretend that God is the last thing on your mind... that way, you're sure to see peoples true colors.....

Sorry, I don't understand the question. Who will hate who? God will hate his people? Or will others hate his people? Are all people God's people? At least that is what I was taught. Somewhere along the world messed up on this lesson.
