why do all people make fun of us (jehovah's witnesses) have you ever been to one of our churches? have you ever been around us. not all of us are crazy as you say, i could call some of you Baptist.. crazy to, and you guys come door to door to i have had many baptist come to my door wanting something or trying to get me to come to there church, god gave us free will to do with as we chose, and if we believe in something else then that's okay, that's why we have free will, in the bible it says do not judge others, so why must you judge other peoples religion?we celebrate holidays (my church)and we read out of the same bible that babtist read out of, so why don't you stop making fun of us we do not make fun of you and we believe that everybody has a right to what they believe in. so why must all you BASH on other religions, god says do not judge other and that's what your doing, so what if there religion is not what you think is right it's there choice and it's not your place to tell them

but why doesn't anybody talk bad about other religions that come to your door??i have had many like baptist and so on come to my door, so why don't we talk bad about them and not all jehovah's witnesses are the same just like not all baptist are the same so every church(hall) does different and i was rasied a witnesse so no i'm not new thank you very much. and if you have never been to a church(hall) howe can you say you know what we belive?just because you have hear say or looked it up on the computer that does not make it true. i haev been to many churches, with my friends and so on but i have found out that our belife is like most of your.

i would like to ask my own question since some people are dumb UN educated pieces of trash that don't even know what they are talkin bout!!!! now so if you think jw's are crazy, even though you do not know their history, then wold you trust them with your life???? its a very simple question. because you know that they also serve in the armed forces. but yet some of you make fun of them. PLEASE you people saying all this SH*t and yet your being protected by them. ain't that a b*tch. really all of you bible thumppers support the troops. you may not support the reason we are over there but you support us. did you think everyone in the military is a d*mn christian or Baptist etc. are you all just hypocrites. if you think about it. i do not claim a religion because of all YOU people telling me what is wrong and what is right since birth. if you think about it yalls religion might be wrong. jws may be wrong. but you don't want to even think your religion is wrong. your so called faith. in the bible it does not call god, god. it calls him Jehovah. and since that is not common that scares you. so next time your in church don't listen to the pastor. cause that is his opinion about the bible. make your own and stop criticizing every one but yourself!!!!!!!! and also growing up i went to chatholic mass for about 5 years with my grandmother to her babtist church numerouse times with my wife wich is a jw and every single one of those religions read the same bible. maybe now you can educate yourself

The Witnesses consider themselves as always being the target of persecution and see it as a sign that they are doing what is right. Additionally, they frown on the use of the word 'church' in describing their place of worship. They call them Kingdom Halls...and usually just refer to it as the 'Hall', as in: 'going to the Hall on Sunday'. They do not read out of the same Bible that the Baptists read out of. They read out of "The New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures", a translation of the Bible from thier headquarters in New York. And I know of no holidays that they celebrate. So...you must be new. However, I don't believe that most people care whether you or anyone else goes there.

If being a JW makes you happy, then great for you! I do understand where you are coming from, seeing is how I am LDS and there are several misconceptions out there about what we believe.
All I can say is try not to let them get to you that much. There are several people out there who don't have the decency or the open mind to listen to other's beliefs, but I feel that we are all going to interpret things differently. If it's true in your heart, then that's all that should matter to you. People can be mean and disrespectful. But you know who you are and what you believe, and I'd never put you down for that!

Natural failures occur in view that we broke the earth. The flood of Noah's day totally modified the whole lot, and each earthquake and twister is an aftershock of that satisfactory cataclysm. Human failures occur no longer in view that God does not intrude (He does, until we in particular inform Him to not--which we now have been doing plenty in recent years), however in view that WE do not intrude. If each human at the face of the planet lived via the golden rule and practiced loving their neighbor, floods, earthquakes, fires and storms might be mere scrapes and bruises from which we would continually jump again more potent than earlier than.

Dear charlacutt89,
Yea it is bad when people are unkind.
The only thing that I could say to you is that in my bible it says to speak the truth in love.
And the truth that I have learned from the Bible is that JW's are not following what the bible says. I say the same thing to anyone who is following a religion that strays from what God says in the Bible.
Well, I'm not sure this answers your question, people are generally mean, but I hope that if you want to discuss this further you'll feel free to email me.

I believe that some of the teachings are true, however, I do not like that they come to my door and tell me flat out that my beliefs are untrue. Sorry if I am pre-disposed to mis-trust you, but I do. I have heard so many JW stories depicting their unforgiving nature when one of their own makes a mistake. I have heard fewer stories of their goodness.

All people do not make fun of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Most people are, however, very annoyed by the fact that they come to our homes and tell us our religion is false.
Believe whatever you want and allow others the same right.

Well firstly, not everyone does, and secondly, blanket statements are part of the problem. When people here things like , Why do all of you do.... or Why aren't all of you..... it often turns them off to an idea.
EDIT I did read the entire query. I was simply saying that one reason SOME people make fun of us is because of blanket statements.

JESUS bless you, Charla.
JEHOVAH is the name I use for THE FATHER, GOD.
YAHWEH is the name that I use for THE HOLY SPIRIT, GOD.
JESUS CHRIST is the name I use for THE SON OF GOD, GOD.
There is only ONE GOD, THREE PERSONS OF THE TRINITY.
JESUS IS GOD.
You can only get to the TRUE GOD through JESUS CHRIST.
There is no other way, no other door.
JEHOVAH GOD's prime witness is JESUS CHRIST.
Believe in THE LORD JESUS.
JESUS said , "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.
NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME."
