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.

When you ask a ??? pertaining to Jehovah's Witnesses, unless a Witness answers your ???, all you receive is a bunch of utter nonsense, lies, they know very little about JW's.
Who are most of these people? Maybe "CR" falls into one of the reasons below, most of the persons that attack "JW" do. Some just hate the teaching of JW's, but many are disfellowshipped, apostates, a disloyal person who betrays or deserts his cause or religion. Why did they leave or were disfellowshipped, here are some reasons:
Some of the offenses that could merit disfellowshipping from the Christian congregation are fornication, adultery, homosexuality, greed, extortion, thievery, lying, drunkenness, reviling, spiritism, murder, idolatry, apostasy, and the causing of divisions in the congregation.
Why don' these people wise up and start acting like a
Christian, isn't that what most of them claim to be after they left Jehovah's Organization.

Because what JWs teach threatens his beliefs. JWs know (as probably some trinatarians who just don't want to pull themselves away from the majority) that the bible does not speak of a trinity.
If it did then JWs would be ignored by everyone.

I guess "CR" is some1's name/initials here @ Y/A's...
right?
Did u see what the Brothers wrote?
It's all true, especially what 'tetragrammaton' wrote.
Expect it, Jesus said "if you want to follow me, pick up your torture stake."
Besides, Satan rules this world; and so when you adjust your life according to Jehovah's will, Satan will use all tools available in / when attacking.

I really don't know why, but a person is in title to his or her belief all you can do is pray for him, and hope that he find God. Jehovah is a awesome God he said other will hate you mock you and sung you, just keep on doing what your doing to please him and know one else.

I would guess he has nothing better to do.
Since these "questions" are not original I would suspect he "found" them on the Internet somewhere and now thinks he's being clever

You know the old saying..."thou protesteth too much!"
Well, when someone has to start their questions off with an offense, it makes you wonder what they are fighting so hard!
Remember what Satan and Devil translate to mean? Resister and Slanderer....also remember the scripture:
(John 8:44-47) “. . .YOU are from YOUR father the Devil, and YOU wish to do the desires of YOUR father. That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of [the lie]. 45 Because I, on the other hand, tell the truth, YOU do not believe me. 46 Who of YOU convicts me of sin? If I speak truth, why is it YOU do not believe me? 47 He that is from God listens to the sayings of God. This is why YOU do not listen, because YOU are not from God.””
