Why do Jehovas witnesses think they are so right and dont want to hear anything bad agaisnt it when they......

Question

bash every other religion. Yes they do. I have seen them, i have heard them. And They all push their "religion" at you, all the time.

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses do not "bash" other religions. When the bible seems to "bash" a religion, that is hardly a human opinion.

Jehovah's Witnesses are Christian (of course), but they are unique for their rejection of paganisms, use of God's personal name, and global preaching by every active adherent. No other religious organization can claim such purity of worship.

These facts about Jehovah's Witnesses are perhaps relevant to this question. The more one compares this Christian religion with others, the more remarkable it is shown to be.

1. Jehovah's Witnesses have no paid clergy. Yet they remain tightly organized with more than 6.5 million active Jehovah's Witness preachers (about 16 million associate themselves with the religion). Even fulltime preachers and workers at their branch offices are unpaid volunteers.

2. There is no elite class among Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the few 'anointed' among them enjoy no special privileges in their congregations on earth. An anointed person (one of those relative few with a heavenly hope) is not elevated above his fellow congregants in any way, and he may not even qualify for appointment as a simple 'deacon' or elder. There are no titles; EVERYONE is addressed as 'brother' or 'sister'.

3. No person benefits economically from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the 8 to 20 men who serve on their Governing Body receive simply room, board, medical care, and reimbursement for certain personal expenses according to the exact same provision as every other branch volunteer.

4. About a hundred men have served on Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body committee during the past 125 years or so. The vast majority of them have spent the vast majority of their adult lives volunteering for their organization's purposes, and the vast majority have died faithfully and near-pennilessly while still under their legal 'vow of poverty'.

5. Amazingly, Jehovah's Witnesses did not splinter as a sect from some other religion. Instead, a truly tiny but sincere group of bible students studied only the Scriptures to determine the will of God. Thus their religion remains absolutely independent of and not carrying the sins of Christendom's history, yet carries the authority of Christ's teachings.

6. Despite the distortions of anti-Witnesses, throughout their modern history Jehovah's Witnesses have refused to claim divine inspiration or infallibility for their teachings. They have pointed to the bible (and not any particular translation) as the only inspired infallible means of knowing God's thoughts. For over 125 years, their teachings have been presented as merely the results of sincere bible research by imperfect but godly humans.

Answer 2

There are valid motives that the Jehovah's Witnesses evaluate Christmas a pagan party. very maximum of the customs are in actuality from comparable wintertime non Christian festivities. nonetheless those may well be authentic celebrating the be conscious made flesh isn't incorrect. it somewhat is greater effective to no longer get caught up in the controversy with out awareness. so which you're asking a real sturdy question. Jesus became born in the final week of September. it somewhat is oftentimes shown biblically. many human beings of the Judaic faith do no longer think of of a individual's existence from the 1st breath at start yet evaluate a individual as starting to be to be a residing soul at concept. If Jesus became born in the final week of September in line with time of concept what became the week of the 12 months Jesus became conceived? Is it an blunders to rejoice the terrific present God Almighty has given guy the very start of this present? No, of path no longer.

Answer 3

Good question. I was a JW for many years and it always bothered me that we were so sensitive to justified criticism (claiming to have spirit-directed guidance, yet one false prophecy after another) while a major part of our religion was to 'expose' falsehoods and all the negatives in everyone else's religion. We were not even allowed to THINK about the negatives in our own.

I guess that's one of the reasons I'm no longer a JW.

Answer 4

I have found this question to be very effective: Witnesses believe that 144,000 of them will go to heaven. Since the beginning of their faith millions have died as I understand. Were I a witness today I'd really have to wonder if perhaps all the spots were already taken. What do you think about that? Hmmmmmm? I've asked it a couple of times and never seen those particular people again.

Answer 5

At Matt. 24:14 it says: "This good news of the Kingdom will be preached to all the nations, then the end will come."

Are you doing your share of preaching to people, like Jesus and the Apostles, and early disciples did from house to house.

Acts 20:20  "And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house."
King James Bible

What is false religion?

Why does religion seem to be at the root of so many problems?
The fault lies, not with all religion, but with “false” religion.

False Religion...MEDDLES IN WAR AND POLITICS: How many religions can you think of whose members engage in war?

False Religion...SPREADS FALSE DOCTRINE: Most religions teach that the soul of spirit is some invisible part of a human that survives the death of the physical body. However, the Bible teaches a different doctrine. “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.” Ezekiel 18:4 Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected, an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul. Does your religion teach that the soul does not die?

False Religion...TOLERATES IMMORAL SEX: Church groups ordain gay and lesbian members of the clergy. What, though, does the Bible teach? It plainly states: “Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men.” 1 Cor. 6:9,10 Do you know of religions that condone immoral sex?

How to identify true religion.

True Religion...PRACTICES LOVE: True worshippers are “no part of the world,” are not divided by race or culture, and display “love among themselves.” Rather than killing one another, they are willing to die for one another.

True Religion...TRUSTS GOD'S WORD: Instead of teaching “tradition” and “commands of men as doctrines,” true religion bases its doctrine on God's Word, the Bible

True Religion...STRENGTHENS FAMILIES AND UPHOLDS HIGH MORAL STANDARDS: True religion trains husbands to “love their wives as their own bodies,” helps wives to develop “deep respect for their husbands,” and teaches children to “be obedient to their parents.”

True Religion is available, search for it.

Does any religion meet these standards? The book "Holocaust Politics" published in 2001, says "If more people practiced versions of what the Jehovah's Witnesses preach and practice, the Holocaust could have been prevented and genocide would scourge the world no more."

Indeed, in 235 lands, and 99,000 Congregations Jehovah's Witnesses do not just preach the Bible's moral standards, they live by them.

Answer 6

One thing about the Jehovah's witnesses: they want to be different and stand apart from everyone else. I have a vested reason for disliking them. My mother's family are witnesses, and she left them before I was born. She raised me to be very skeptical of them. They have lost a lot of credibility over the last century when Armageddon failed time and again to arrive.

Part of their sensitivity comes from being kind of a fringe organization. Witnesses know they are a minority of Christianity, so they have to try extra hard to defend their beliefs.

Answer 7

Because they are? lol Seriously, what religion wants to hear bad things about themselves? I don't know of ONE!

Next time, instead of listening, walk away or say, "thanks, but i don't believe that way and I would rather not have to listen to it." That's all you have to do. I have a feeling you'd rather stand there and have drama though.

Answer 8

they try so hard because they are told that only a certain amount if people will be allowed into Heaven. What a burden to be placed on your shoulders....think about it.
They think they are trying to save your eternal life. If they don't convice you, you may lose your spot in Heaven.
It is annoying though!!

Answer 9

everyone those that
jehova witness don't try to critize other religions
and no one want to hear bad things about ur own religion

Answer 10

I love to debate with them. I went an hour with two of their elders and they walked out on me, claiming that I wasn't going to change their mind. I found it odd they came over to do that to me.

Must say, it was enlightening, in case they come for more.
