I am glad to know that it is actually the True religion.
Which other religion of the world does not participate in wars?
Jehovah's witnesses follow Jesus' commandment, Love God, Love your neighbor as yourself...though small thingd, they show it by not smoking (slow suicide), they give a warning to eveyrone as they received it from the bible and mostly they do not participate in wars.
This is a good site that reminds me how it was during the holocaust... http://www.edition-temmen.com/

I think that in reality,people would be more upset to find out that their religion is false. For example, I have been brought up as A Jehovah's Witness since I was a little girl, but my mom used to be catholic. She says that when she learned the truth, she was devastated because she always thought that the catholic religion was the right one. But now we are all 100% sure that we have found the truth.

Yes, because JW's have interpreted the 144,000 in the Book of Revelation as JW's going to heaven. I understand that they have conveniently stated that 144,000 is a metaphor for "large number" since they have millions of adherents nowadays.
It's obvious that the 144,000 are 12,000 each from the 12 tribes of Israel.
But that's the great thing about manmade religion--you can twist the Bible around to say what you want it to. I like that.

What's to be upset about? Jehovah's get a negative rap I think. There are good & bad people in any religion. It doesn't make a difference to me what it's called, faith is faith. Love for God, a Creator, is a bedrock for my faith. Here's a verse just so you know;
James 1:27 Pure & undefiled religion in the sight of our God & Father is this: to visit orphans & widows in their distress and to keep one's self unstained by the world.
Translation(to me anyways): Being a good, helpful, charitable person has NOTHING whatsoever to do w/ religion.:o]

I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES IS NOT 100% THE TRUE RELIGION. JESUS IS THE ONE TRUE GOD. AND ACTS 2:38 IS THE TRUE SALVATION FOR US ALL.

I wouldn't be upset. Your hypothesis is untenable and unworkable though because it is something that I am 100% sure is false by having a look at what they teach. The contradictions in the faith are many and large.
If you want to hear what I am talking about, please email me. JW's are taught not to read anything other than what the watchtower approves, so I won't waste your time if you want to follow their lead on this point.

You have a right to think whatever you please. I just hope you take Christ as your personal savior. Do you really think God will destroy someone because they do not think Jehovah's Witnesses are the right religion? I do not think so. I am not upset at what you think. I think you are being controlled by an organization. The Bible says that God does not think like men. He will be the judge and not an earthly organization, which is only fitting since only God sees our hearts and knows our motivation for everything. There are plenty of errors and claims your organization has made in the past to really make me question who is dreaming up this stuff! If it was from God, they would not have been wrong! God bless you, we are all seeking the right way to worship! I do not think some things will be settled until the Lord comes and tells us who is right and who is wrong! Until then, we will have to settle for those things in the Bible that remain unquestionable and clear. I do not think the Lord is going to punish someone for thinking their interpretation is the right way. The Bible says that whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved! I am a whosoever and so are you! I will call on his name with the knowledge that God is not partial and He will do what He says He will do! God bless you!

Why not ask the opposite question of your fellow religious followers? How will you react if you discover you're one of the groups who were the most deceived? JWs are far from the right religion, that's why they're always repeating religion, religion, religion, religion, religion. They have religion and works confused with God and the Bible, and treat being a Christian as if it's a cold distant and legalistic way of life.

That's a nice story, but unlikely. First, no one acts on 100% certainty. The world is contingent. Second, they'd have to come up with some evidence because faith is the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11).
But in a fantasy world, with all the evidence being true, why would anyone be upset? They'd believe...

How would I know...for a 100 percent certainty that JW is the true belief or religion?
