is it a sin for me (Jewish) to go to a Jehovah's whiteness meeting with a friend?

Question

quite a while ago i went to a Jehovah's whiteness meeting thingie with a friend who is a Jehovah's whiteness one weekend, i had nothing to do and i didn't feel like staying home so i went it was boring but it was something to do.

anyway I'm Jewish coz its family tradition on my mothers side because my great grand mother survived the holocaust and raised her daughter Jewish and so on, anyway i haven't really done anything Jewish at all iv never even met another Jewish person and iv never seen a sinagauge but i keep the tradition, i personally have my own beliefs i don't believe in any religion really. i am planning on having a bar mitzvah one day just for tradition.

not that it really bothers me or anything but is it a sin for me to go to places like that? every now and then i drop by a church near my place because i like the architecture and its just a nice place to have a rest.

am i doing anything wrong i don't dislike religion i just don't really believe in religion.

Answer 1

Ironically, Jehovah's Witnesses are UNIQUE among self-described "Christians" in that they actually believe in the same monotheistic, non-trinitarian Almighty Father as Jews did and typically still do.

Jehovah's Witnesses are great students of the Hebrew Scriptures (they even refuse to call it an "Old Testament"). Jehovah's Witnesses appreciate the richness and robustness of the Law and the prophets, and recognize the literal thousands of ways they point toward Christianity. They recognize that a substantial number of the "kings and priests" who rule forever alongside Jesus must be ethnic Jews.

Jehovah's Witnesses are also unique in applying many of the principles of God's dealings with the nation of Israel to the modern Christian congregation.

Regarding their rejection of the so-called "trinity", Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.

(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation

(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.

(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God

(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God

(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth

(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak

(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am

(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him

(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father

(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God

(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.

(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah

(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him

Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

Answer 2

No! Your only being open minded and respecting others religions.
I believe it would only be considered a "sin" if you actually converted.
However being open-minded and respecting other cultures/religions is an amazing way to discover how different yet alike people can be.
(Also understandable with your experiances with Judiasm. My step-family still follows the traditions even though they are now christians)

Answer 3

First enable's maximum recommendations-blowing quite a few the various ridiculous spelling blunders on your question. this is "Jehovah's Witness", no longer "whiteness". this is "Christianity", no longer "christainity". this is "opposite", no longer "contrairy". this is "philosophies" no longer "philosiphys". additionally, "there" and "their" do no longer mean an analogous ingredient. They sound alike yet are 2 completely diverse words. You had to apply "their". you fairly might choose to look into employing spell-examine in the previous posting something. Now as to the question itself, regardless of the opinions of others, Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians. each and everything that we've got faith and coach is firmly and solidly in step with and subsidized up by using the Bible. Apostate Christianity (or fake Christianity) grew to become into as quickly as a factor of actual Christianity, yet over the years the fake doctrines of adult males in step with their very own philosophies or accompanied philosophies of human beings around them began to creep in and that they branched off to enhance into Christendom immediately. Their fake doctrines (which at the instant are not from the Bible) contain coaching that Jesus is God, that God is a "trinity", that folk burn for eternity in some hellfire, that guy has an immortal soul, and countless different issues.......all of which the Bible would not coach.

Answer 4

" anyway I'm Jewish coz its family tradition on my mothers side because my great grand mother survived the holocaust "... you will be surprised to know that the Jehovah Witnesses also survived the Holocaust.

Answer 5

As you get older I am sure your viewpoint will change on religion. but as of now, no it is not a sin. Knowledge and insight into another religion is only helpful. You dont have to believe it, but maybe it will open your mind to explore Judiasm as well as other religions.

Answer 6

you're not disrespecting your religion if you go with a friend to listen about another religion.
Im muslim, and we are told to respect all religions.

Personally i dont see anything wrong with it. Its not like you're disowning your religion with going.

Go and do whatever gives you satisfaction and where you're happy at.

You dont have to be "anything" or feel scared for liking or wanting to go and hear things about religions.

Maybe GOD is taking you there, coz he wants you there :P its a sign if you ask me :P

Answer 7

I don't know if you would get into trouble if you went to a Kingdom Hall. but if you were a Jehovah's Witness and went into any other church or synagogue, you could be disfellowshipped (excomunicated)

Answer 8

You should look into a local Chabad house. They are pretty entertaining and accept all types of Jews, secular and orthodox.

Answer 9

Pls you have to check with God,

Tell the God, what's the problem with you. Hear his voice and you can get more comfortable with what's you have to do !

Answer 10

Well what would be immoral about it? What would offend your conscience about it?

That's how I would answer the question if I was asking it myself
