Is Green Day Anti-Jehovah's Witnesses?

Question

I heard that at one of their shows they said that all Jehovah's Witnesses should leave. There was one other thing that they said but i'm not sure what it is...Can anyone clear this up for me?

Answer 1

It is true that Jehovah's Witnesses are not loved by everyone.

Some people hate Jehovah's Witnesses out of ignorance, or over some misunderstanding. A few may have had a bad personal experience with an individual who claimed to be a Jehovah's Witness, and prejudicially extended their animus to this entire Christian religion.

However, it seems that the majority of anti-Witness hatred is motivated by religious intolerance and bigotry. A few may even be motivated against their Christian worship by the unseen 'god of this system of things', Satan the Devil.

(2 Corinthians 4:4) the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers

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.

At (Matthew 24:36) it says “Concerning that day and hour no person is aware of, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, however handiest the Father. For simply as the times of Noah have been, so the presence of the Son of guy can be. . . . Keep at the watch, accordingly, given that you have no idea on what day your Lord is coming.” Christians have been instructed now not handiest to be at the watch and to be ready but additionally to look at with eagerness. (Romans eight:19) Its handiest human nature to desire it so badly in order that we do' wait in keen expectation of it' Jehovah’s Witnesses, like every different christians are very keen for Jesus’ moment coming, and feature urged dates that grew to become out to be unsuitable. Because of this, a few have known as them fake prophets. But its major to understand that they have got certainly not made any variety of predictions ‘within the title of Jehovah.’ Never did they are saying, ‘These are the phrases of Jehovah.’ In the Watchtower of (December 15, 1896, web page 425 it stated “We have now not the reward of prophecy.” and (January 1883, web page 425) “Nor might we've got our writings reverenced or viewed as infallible.” The Watchtower has additionally stated that the truth that a few have Jehovah’s spirit “does now not imply the ones now serving as Jehovah’s witnesses are prompted. It does now not imply that the writings on this journal The Watchtower are prompted and infallible and with out errors.” (May 15, 1947, web page 157) “The Watchtower does now not declare to be prompted in its utterances, neither is it dogmatic.” (August 15, 1950, web page 263) “The brothers getting ready those guides aren't infallible. Their writings aren't prompted as are the ones of Paul and the opposite Bible writers. (two Tim. three:sixteen) And so, now and then, it's been essential, as knowledge grew to be clearer, to proper perspectives. (Prov. four:18)”—February 15, 1981, web page 19. Jehovah's Witnesses were discouraged from seeking to make any predictions so far as whilst the top was once coming given that the Bible has proven that this isn't for us to understand the unique time, however that the indicators that got do exhibit that we're very nearly it and that we must be capable and in expectation of it.
