Question

I am one and I would like to know why people are haters.

Answer 1

I have been to their church and out of all the other churches i've been to I liked it the most.

Answer 2

BELIEVERS OF THE BIBLE ARE HATED

CHRISTIAN IS SUPPOSED TO BE SOME ONE THAT KNOWS AND BELIEVES THE BIBLE AS THE WORD OF GOD

The same as all religions, either a witness for the bible or a witness for the or a religion.
"Millions now living will never die." is not a scripture, so who said it and who is supposed to repeat it?

Bible proof beyond a shadow of a doubt is all that is to be considered, was it 4004, 4025, 4026 or what was it from Adam to Christ born in Rome world Empire #6. If the bible makes a mistake, there are others that tell the same story and many ways to check out the story for facts, this book has been handeled by many down through the years and most marvelous not to have any more errors than it does, but a search can reveal that truth and facts was the intent for us to have. The religion said the bible said is what I have tried to correct since age 27 when I decided religion is not bible 44 years ago, " What has religion done for mankind?" The bible for sure was published 396 years ago. Christians are not just supposed to be close, John 8:32; 17:17; If for some reason your whole life is spent seaching. I was born in 1936 and I will not live to see the second coming of Jesus. I am also not wrong about the bible time that is inside the bible. No one else has an excuse to be.

Trinity is not in a scripture. Rapture is int in a scripture. Heaven and hell or new heavens and a new earth? Why does there have to be a new heavens and a new earth? Christmas or Jesus birth date of saint Nick is not scripture.
Easter eggs and bunnies and Easter as a word to replace passover is not scripture, is it?

When people come out of a religion and become a bible student, much care to cling to the bible is a must, care to remember that religion came first and religion is a repeat of what some one said the bible said or meant, not what the bible said.

Fact and truth as a book is a book and what it says, is what it says. It does not say add to it or take away from it. Rev.22:18,19;

Answer 3

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, we are hated as a people, not so much as an individual. Just like racial prejudice. People hate a race, but they my have a friend of a different race that they tolerate.

There are so many misconceptions about us. Like we go door to door so we can go to heaven. If they really knew what we believe, they would know that 99% of Jehovah's Witnesses do not want to go to heaven, but to remain on the earth and be part of the "meek that possess the earth ...and live forever upon it." Ps 37: 10, 11 & 29

We go door to door out of love of neighbor, because we truly believe that we have found the truth of the bible and what to share it with everyone. If they are not interested, that is their choice. But for every ten we find not interested, we do find one that is. We are just following Jesus example to preach from house to house. Matt 10: 11015; Acts 20: 20 & 21; Acts 5: 42

Don't let what others think bother you. It's to be expected. Everyone has the right to their opinion, it doesn't mean it's true.

Answer 4

Witnesses don't have faith contained in the trinity Witnesses have faith there is one Almighty God,one Jesus Christ and the Holy spirit that's God's energetic stress. they suspect in no longer celebrating of the trip journeys. they do exactly the passover which Jesus suggested to do in remembrance of him. Which replaced into held this nighttime. They practice suitable to the fact. i'd desire to bypass on yet i don't have all nighttime, yet one final difficulty they are large easy loving those that worship the actual God Jehovah they are actual Christians

Answer 5

Hey there sister ;p

Well, the main reason why people hate Jehovah's Witnesses so much is because of the scripture in Matthew 24:9 where it says: "“Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name."

Jesus let his disciples know that people would also hate his true followers because they would be different than the world. That's stated in John 15:17-19 - "“These things I command YOU, that YOU love one another. If the world hates YOU, YOU know that it has hated me before it hated YOU. 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."

Answer 6

First of all as one of Jehovah's Witnesses myself. We know from the Bible what is to be expected. So I don't understand why you are asking that question when you already know the answer .

Answer 7

my view of Jehovah Witnesses. I love them. we are a worldwide family. no matter where we go, we are welcome. we are not soliciting. soliciting is selling. we do not sell anything. we give the watchtowers and books and our bible studies for free. we do what Jesus Christ commanded us at Matthew 28 verse 19 and 20. we are not a cult. a cult worships man, like charles manson. we worship Jehovah God and Jesus Christ. we live in our own homes. a cult live together. we are in 236 lands worldwide.

Answer 8

I view them as people who do try to believe what they honestly view to be the truth, even when others try to accuse them of being a cult and making all sorts of incorrect statements about their beliefs. (I'm a Mormon myself, and can certainly understand your frustration in that reguard!)

Why do people speak so vehemently against other faiths in general and certain religions specifically (i.e. JWs, Mormons, etc.)? I don't really know. You'd think they'd be secure enough in their own beliefs that they don't need to tear down the faiths of others to buld up their own (but maybe that's just me...).

Answer 9

I have several JW friends, and don't have a problem with them, although I disagree with them theologically. The only time I do have a problem is when total strangers come knocking on the door and disrespecting not only my right to privacy, but my chosen religion, which is why I now have "No Soliciting" and "No Trespassing" signs placed on every corner of my property. I've never intruded upon a JW's private home trying to get them to convert to Catholicism, so I expect (but never seem to get) the same respect in return.

Answer 10

Questions like this imply that Jehovah's Witnesses are interested in becoming popular, but that is simply not true. The ONLY opinions of ongoing interest to a true Witness are those of Jehovah and Christ Jesus. Those who work to ingratiate themselves with some human or human group are not doing God's will.

(1 Thessalonians 2:4) We speak, as pleasing, not men, but God, who makes proof of our hearts.

(Matthew 6:20,21) Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.


Jehovah's Witnesses have the true religion. They 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 11

No problem against them. I wouldn't vote for a JW, much like I'd never vote for any fundamentalist. But if I had to pinpoint something, it's this - they have no idea about their own - THEIR OWN - history. How they came about, their leaders, and so on. Unsullied by greed and politics? Check it out and you be the judge.

PS: When others tell you, you're a member of a cult, tell them that all religions are cults. All of them.
