why don't people like/get along with Jehovah's whittnesses? I really want you to answer serious. please do not joke around...
we just want to help, we have to share the good news thats the reason why we preach! in the bible it says" there is no fear in love" saying that if we love we should share(1 John 4:18)

I get along with you, but sometimes you can be too preachy with the Gospel and too judgemental. But alot of religions have those people.

Your first answerer stated that Witnesses are "too judgmental"
All I want to add is that the Scriptures are very adamant when it comes to particular lifestyles that are condemned in the Bible Text.
We are not the ones being judgmental at all. We are living by and delivering the life giving "good news" that Jesus said would be preached throughout the world (Matt 24:14)
If you want something that is watered down then, we aren't sorry.
There are plenty of religious organizations of which you can "get your ears tickled" (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
Jesus said that His Fathers Word is Truth (John 17:17) and we take him at his word.
Isn't it high time that others did too??
Dear Sister.........this was not directed at you.
I think it was sent more out of frustration over persons that are convinced of what they perceive or what is the popular course, rather than actually looking into Bible teachings for themselves.

JWs preach a false gospel...they deny the deity of Christ (see 1 John 5:7).
The gospel can be summed up in John 3:16. All you have to do is believe on Christ and that's it!

Jehovah's witnesses, as a general rule, do not respect other religions and view points.
Also, there is nothing more INFURIATING than getting your newborn baby down for a nap after a long, sleepless night, when suddenly the doorbell rings, and rings again, and then on the third ring you yank open the door and over your baby's cries you hear the witch on you doorstep telling you that you are damned and your relationship with God is nothing unless you see it her way! No love in that, sister. God is Love, period.

I don't mind JW's. I'm sure you're nice people. What is unacceptable is sharing the "good news" with someone who's already heard it and has politely shared with you that they're not interested. Then, the following week, you guys come back. It's annoying because you're not being respectful of the individual's request that you no longer come by their house.

I get along fine with the Jehovahs Witnesses in my area, my only problem with them is the times they pick to come bangin on my door. 8:30 in the morning is just too damn early. Apart from that, I get along nicely with them.

I strongly believe that religion is a very personal matter that I personally discuss with very people. What I do not like about Jehovas, or anyone for that matter, is when someone tries to cram their beliefs down your throat and tries to make you feel inferior because of what you believe.
I also do not much like hypocrisy, although everyone is a hypocrite, to some small degree. The more vocal one is about one's beliefs, the degree to which one judges others, and the degree to which one acts in a manner contrary to one's purported beliefs all factor into the severity of one's hypocrisy. Given the beliefs of Jehovas, even the slightest transgression ought to be a mortal sin. "Judge not lest ye be judged" or "Cast ye in the name of God ye not guilty". None of us are perfect, so none has the right to judge another under the guise of religion. Jesus himself preached tolerance and love for thy fellow man. How can anyone who claims to believe in him act in any way contrary to his teachings, using the bible to justify their actions, and claim to be righteous? This goes for the KKK, Jehovas, Catholics, Muslims, and all people of all religions. To not use the words in a book that you claim to be holy to justify acting contrary to the most basic fundamentals of the belief system you claim to believ in. To do so is evil.

I don't dislike, it's just that every visit has to be a conversion mission, and I try to explain that I'm not converting, but I am willing to discuss Divinity...
You gotta figure, they've got some faith going door to door trying to "sell" their God, which has to at least earn Brownie Points...
Nonono, it's not that I don't "like" JWs... just that I know what they want me to do, and I'm not gonna do it, and it seems to bother them..... *shrug*

Probably because they can be very annoying. People don't want to be woken up at 7:30 on a Saturday to be told what's written in an ancient book.

Because we don't like when strangers come uninvited to our door who think they know what's best for us to believe. Would you like me to come to your door and explain why you should be an agnostic?
As far as the beliefs....I could care less....I think all religions are silly.
The good ones leave you alone...your's doesn't.
