Certainly not me. I have dealt with them for many years. IT is not hate to speak the truth in love.
I remember when they were told they could not smoke. And those that continue to smoke would be put out of the organization.
Most people you meet in JW came from some other religion. The bible said the same thing that they say it says now. Why didn't they go door to door then.
It is not hate to speak the truth. They cannot read the bible on their own. They cannot interpet what they read because they all have to speak the same thing.
What makes them think they have the truth when there truth came about in the 1800 from a man that was an adultry and a lier.
No, it is not hatre of the JWs it is making people aware that you lose free will. You are not allowed to reach your own conclusion.
And most people that I know that have being JW came out of bad situations and needed some discplines.
This is not hatre, this is love...for the truth. And I do love you all.

Please answer these questions: The bible has not changed; why didn't you go to door when you were in another religion?
Isn't it true that you can not disagree with the teaching of the Watchtower tract?
Isn't it true that the Watchtower tract acts as the Pope for the JWs?
Isn't it true that the Watchtower is the final word in what a JW is to believe?
And isn't it true that when a JW says they will be back, unless you agree with them they lie, because they do not come back?
To thy own self be true. If I have lied I stand corrected but these question come from many years of talking with and discussing scripture. Please answer these questions.

It seems best to simply and succinctly address the questions and inaccuracies in this so-called "question".
1. Too many people hate Jehovah's Witnesses.
2. Actually, biblical Christians *DID* go from house to house. A person named "Jesus" not only taught them to preach, but specifically told them to go to personal homes and search out interested persons.
(Matthew 10:7,11,14) As you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’ ...Into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving... Wherever anyone does not take you in or listen to your words, on going out of that house or that city shake the dust off your feet.
(Acts 5:42) And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.
3. The vast majority of Jehovah's Witnesses are quite literate, and can read the bible just fine on their own. Many or most Witnesses readily recognize how any particular bible verse connects with the divine will and purpose. Reference works are interesting and useful, but no Witness would pretend that they supersede the bible itself.
4. Jehovah's Witnesses work to follow Christ, and not any mere man. Bible students recognize that godly humans such as Noah, Moses, Lot, and David variously committed drunkenness, murder, incest, and adultery and were nevertheless faithful instruments of God. Incidentally, anti-Witness inventions of "adultery" by prominent early Witnesses are mere baseless slander.
5. Jehovah's Witnesses certainly do NOT relinquish the god-given gift of free will. The bible establishes standards for true worship, and individual adherents are free to decide if they wish to adhere to these (or not). God does not seem to have an opinion about the vast majority of human preferences, and neither does the Jehovah's Witness religion.

As a baptized Catholic, i'm able to assert that i do no longer hate jehovah's witnesses. In all the sermons I heard, I in no way heard the Catholic Priest pontificate hatred against all of us, inclusive of Jehovah's witnesses. i think of your acquaintances are detrimental representatives of their respective faiths. on the different had, there are a number of fundamentalist christians who hate everybody, inclusive of Catholics, muslims, jehovah's witnesses, and mormons.

I am a Christian and I do not hate religious people. I believe what the bible says about loving you neighbor, and neighbor meaning everyone in the world, no matter what they believe in or what they say or do. So... no I do not hate the people. just what they preach the truth as. Christ is the only truth, and I wish people would just believe in Him and stop believing and teaching false truths.

Too narrow-minded and judgemental. Lots of unfair things happen there. Cold hearts, warm faces. Too much mind control. Typical cult. More like the other fundamental religions than they realize. Sometimes, I would give up my own truth to live in that captive delusion because it was the only home I knew. Then again, who wants to live in a world where you have to feel like you have to watch everything you think and do and wear and you can't have any holidays and you have to shun people that you love. You feel good when you feel bad. It's a real mind-twister. Not for me.

Yeah, why didn't they go door-to-door in a different
faith/ religion.
We can and do read the Bible on our own.
We don't "have to speak the same thing";
it's that we are all taught by ONE GOD;
who is Not a God of Confusion.
When you see/feel God's will/active force/
Holy spirit work in and for ur life; YOU know its true.
No One person can "lose free will" we were created w/ it;
God made all of us this way,
u can't lose it, give it away etc...
We do come to our own conclusions....
No individual is born a Witness of Jehovah.
Every single Witness makes a personal decision.
After making an honest search of God's Word,
the searcher recognizes truth, and on this basis
he dedicates himself to the true God,
whose name is Jehovah.
We love You too.
And Jehovah loves You too.

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? 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.

I hold no malice against any religion. I view them all with the same respect that my religion deserves. To hate any one religion is the show disrespect for your own, peace loving religion.

I loathe the Watchtower Bible and Tract society.....They are leading these people on a path to destruction, and the problem is, they know perfectly well what they are doing!......It makes me outraged....look at what Good the JW's could do if they actually had the Holy Spirit, instead of Satans guidance.

A Comparison of the Bible & the
Deceptive New World Translation
The Holy Bible The Deceptive
New World Translation
John 1:1 — "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God."
This is a clear declaration that Jesus (the Word) is God.
John 1:1 — "In the beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god."
This change was made to support the Jehovah's Witnesses denial that Jesus is God.
Colossians 1:16 — "For by him [Jesus] were all things created ... all things were created by him and for him."
This teaches that Jesus is the Creator of all, and is not a created being himself.
Colossians 1:16 — "because by means of him all [other] things were created ... All [other] things have been created through him and for him."
The word "other" has been wrongly added to support the Jehovah's Witnesses false teaching that Jesus himself is a created angel.
Hebrews 1:8 — "But about the Son he says, 'Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever."
Note here that God the Father calls Jesus the Son, "God."
Hebrews 1:8 — "But with reference to the Son: "God is your throne forever and ever..."
The order of the words has been wrongly changed by the Jehovah's Witness organization to hide the fact that Jesus, (the Son) is called God.
