My son calls me a devil because I don't join the cults group who teaches hate more than I can love him.

This is to answer you and the girl that said she is a Jehovah's Witness. According to them, only Witnesses are saved, they are the only ones that have the truth, and everyone else is either a part of "false religion" or are just ignorant in general. They promote an extremely close knit, cult like community where any "unnecessary" association with anyone "worldly" is wrong. I hate to tell you this, but your son has been turned against you by people that tell him if you don't repent, God will destroy you and other "wicked" people. They claim to follow Jesus example of loving their neighbor, yet they only truely accept and love those that believe the same things they believe. I really am sorry - it's a terrible position to be in.

If your son is underage, make him stay home. He's not going to like you anyway, I'd rather him not have outside influence. If he's older, as a last resort, ask him to move out. I don't say this lightly. My son was spending the night with his girlfriend and my wife and I gave him the choice to follow our rules or leave. He left. My wife cried for six months straight. In the end, he married this girl, we love her VERY much, he's back in church and she was recently baptized. If he's already on his own, you just have to keep praying and wait on God.

As a Jehovah's Witness, I'm confused by your question.
Jesus encourages love of neighbor, that would definitely include family - even those that aren't of the same faith of us. So how are JW's teaching your son to hate you?
Please explain - I only want to better my answer for you.

It sounds like your son has a personality disorder-- the religion isn't telling him to do this. He needs to see a therapist or something.

Prayer.
Never underestimate the power of Prayer.
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through Jesus.

If he is a minor, forbid him to associate with those losers. If he is an adult, you're stuck.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not do as this so-called "question" pretends.
