Jehova's witnesses! Sad or not?

Question

I for one believe they're pathetic!

Well...Moises...huh?
Maybe not being a Jehovah's whatever,makes my brain work in a much simpler way.
I just don't get what your "religion" is all about.
As simple as that!
To me it's just brain washing and I really sympathise for you cause I know that for most of you it started from your parents and stuff.
It's not your fault,but it's never too late to wake up and start living...no?

Answer 1

Religions are like noses...everyone has one!
I'd never argue about religion so I don't understand why you should call them pathetic or sad.
They're just people.
If it works for them,I see no harm.
Nobody can tell me what to believe or not believe,so I don't care at all about how they wish to live their lives.

Answer 2

Individuals among the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses are sometimes saddened by the slander and propaganda heaped upon them by anti-Witnesses.

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.

Yes, i understand you prefer this kind of Christians,

The Land Letter was a letter sent to President George W. Bush by five evangelical Christian leaders on October 3, 2002 which outlined their theological support for a just war pre-emptive invasion of Iraq. The letter was written by Richard D. Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. It was co-signed by Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries, Bill Bright, chairman of Campus Crusade for Christ, James Kennedy, president of Coral Ridge Ministries, and Carl D. Herbster, president of the American Association of Christian Schools.

Or maybeyou didn´t know that JWS don´t sign this, supporting the assasination of mor than 70,000 people, but Do you really think that Jesus don´t know what you are doing? Why do you think he said in Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness"

Answer 4

For one thing, It doesn't matter what you believe or think.

You can think and believe the world is flat, and that doesn't change anything.

You can believe you alone are wise and full of knowledge, and that only proves one thing.

You can believe in aliens, ghosts, and anything else you want to believe.

The only thoughts and beliefs that mean anything are God's.

Answer 5

Since they are a copy of the first Christian congregations, you must also think Christ and the Apostles were also pathetic.

Answer 6

They are one of the many extremists in America today.

The sad thing is that every christian extremists group says that they themselves are right and the rest are wrong.

Only in a land as great as ours could one find so many people who can be duped so easily.

Answer 7

I have no problem with them...just get them away from my door!
They seem like beggars but instead of money they beg for souls:-)

Answer 8

I date one and she's starting to be a pain!
They're so fake!:-(

Answer 9

And WHY do you believe that we are pathetic? Is that all you have to say? ...Honestly, don't people even try anymore?

Answer 10

They think they can save the world but in reality they are just money sucking leeches!!!
