Yes live with it. You who believe a nut case like Paul, who paid a few people to write this so cool story about the Son Of God. God willed the birth of Jesus, and it was. That is all there is to that. Do not insult GOD and his Messager JESUS, Peace be on him, by calling Jesus the Son Of God. You have every right to say what ever you want, but do not insult a messager. Jesus has a great place in the history of man. Do not tanish it but by running your mouth about a Son of God. God is by himself, he has no SON. Prove to me, not taking the trush NT, if there is any proof in History to support this insult. If this is true dont you think there would be evidence of it other then the trush. There is non. The only proof is that there was a preacher named Jesus, and that he spoke of going back to the old way of the Jewish Religion. I am not burden so you should not be too. That is what he taught not that trush NT.

It is true that Jehovah's Witnesses are not loved by everyone.
http://jw-media.org/newsroom/human_rights.htm
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.

Keep stirring it up - JWs will come out smelling like roses.
Always have - always will.
JWs are sincere in what they believe and walk as they talk.
Keep stirring it up and it simply interests people in God Almighty.
So your action simply helps.
The JW's celebrate the new covenant made through Jesus and yet continue to honor the old covenant made through Moise - passover.
You appear to be greatly confused about what the bible teaches. As in: "Do not insult GOD and his Messenger JESUS, Peace be on him, ..."
Gnosticism albeit has the same root is not Christianity.
This and some Islamic beliefs have the same views on certain things such as Jesus was a preacher or a prophet.
Some Gnostic sects do not accept what is commonly called Pauline teaching same goes for Islm.
Both the old and new testaments call angels and mankind "sons of God".
Christians including the JWs agree that Jesus was the only begotten son of God.
Paul was converted to "The Way" after many of the same disagreements you seem to be on the verge of stating. It was a painful journey for him. I sense not only pain but confusion in you.
Paul was the least of "the ones sent forth" by his own words. There were many writers and scribes of those writers. Paul used more than one scrib which can be told from the use of language and to who the letter or note was written.

Prove to my that Jesus is God, without using any holy books?? Can you. I see you are the poster who claimed that because you stopped being a Witness you lost your dog, I can almost understand saying you lost your wife, but claiming that deciding to not be a Witness caused you to lose a pet and your job seems a bit farfecthed. It seems to me that if, in your mind, we Witnesses cause you so much pain, you should move on and try to find some happiness.
Deciding to trash someone can only take you so far.

I am not a JW but have a lot of respect for this religion. I think they really practice what they preach and are very nicepeople. Who cares if I dont believe everything they believe in.
You sound very hateful and I wonder why you have a vendetta against this religion.
Why would you spend all of your time trashing them? Just dont agree with them and go on with your own life...or don't you have one?

If you are not sure what your aim in life is, then I would suggest finding something that you can do. The words above don't make sense and what you say about Jesus wanting to go back to the old ways is not right.

“A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they have observed my word, they will observe yours also. But they will do all these things against you on account of my name, because they do not know him that sent me.”—John 15:20, 21.

Genisus 1:26 "Then God said, '"Let US make man in OUR image..."'
Isaiah 51: 4-6 "Listen to me, my people; listen, O israel, for I will see that right prevails. 5 My mercy and justice are coming soon; your salvation is on the way. I will rule the nations; they shall wait for me and long for me to come.Look high in the skies and watch the earth beneath , for the skys shall disappear like smoke, the earth shall wear out like a garment and the people of the earth shall die like flies. But my salvation lasts forever; my righteous rule will never die nor end"
Isaiah 53 Who has believed our message and to whome has the arm of the lord been revealed he grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground he had no beauty or majest to attract us to him nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. he was despiesed and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffereing. like one from shome men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. surely he took up our infirmitied and carried our sorrows yet we considered him stricken by god smitten by him and afflicted. but he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. 6 we all like hseep, have gone astray and each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all...... " it goes on and on about him....
sweetheart try to study more in debth of these things... yes you told me not to use the new testament but in John the miracles are all referenced to in the old testament.
