The reason why I am asking this question is that I noticed a lot of YA people hate JWs. I am a Jehovah's Witness from the Philippines and often I read accusations that have no substance against my religion; it set me to ask why so much hate for them when all they do is do the work of God by preaching the truth.
To Grand Pa: I am sorry to hear of your frightful experience in our country. In behalf of the millions of Filipinos, let me apologize for the way you have been treated by people who do not fear God.

there are 2 roads.......one is a wide 50,000 mile DEAD END...
the other is a small road leading to paradise.
Witnesses try hard to steer you to the right road. It may take more than one attempt. But first we have to get your attention.
And how do you get a mules' attention?
with a 2x4
lol
But we value you and care for you and are doing what God says..."go get them and show them the way for I do not want them to die".

The Philippines are a very nice place to visit and I like Jehovah's Witnesses.
What accusations have you been seeing regarding the Jehovah's Witnesses, I am interested in learning more? Feel free to contact me.

Hello young sister,
I do not hate them, us, we, me! ;~)
Remember what Jesus said?
Do you recall what the word of God says about this matter?
If ur going to join us here @ Y/A's; be prepared to pick up ur torture stake.
Do u have thick skin? Cuz here; there be wolves.
And apostates.
More than once, I got So upset,
either I was shaking or 'went off' on the person.
It's my zeal and the fact that I'm a sinner.
Later, I've apologized, b-cuz that is not pleasing to our
Lord or our God. Not Everyone here is So disrespectful.
Some ppl actually have legitimate Q's, and r looking for real; satisfying answers.
You will see, there a quite a few of us, here.
You can easily find us out of the pack. We speak the pure language.
Easily, recognizable.
btw: off the subject;
I've always wanted to go to the Phillipines,
I'm part Filipina.
your sister in the faith, Bambi

I don't hate them.
I've noticed that the JW I see walking around are usually hot guys. I wonder if that's on purpose, though that's not really my point.
Anyway, I don't like it when any religious person who actively tries to convert me. That goes for Jehovah's Witnesses as well as the people at work who think I must be sub-human because I'm an atheist.
I don't hate them, though. I pity them, as I do all religious people. If only you could throw off your chains and live a free life!

I dont really. I try not to hate other religions. Like all other religions it is false, but now that I live in California they dont come knocking on my door trying to convert me all the time.

I love Jehovah Witnesses and we are told to love our neighbor as ourselves. we are in 236 lands worldwide and we have a brother and sisterhood. people don't know anything about us, or they turned there back on Jehovah and rather slander us. learn what witnesses are about at www.watchtower.org

I don't. I have a low tolerance threshold though for people who claim they are always at their door. They've never knocked on my door and I only remember them at my parents house once when I was younger.

I don't.
When they knock on my door, I engage them in conversation. However, I don't think they like what I have to say. They usually never come back.
