Answer 2

As an Atheist I have read so called Christians bang on about their "right" to spread the good word.
I have also read, (and received e-mails), condemning us to an eternity in Hell.
At least the Jehovah's get of their backsides and truly spread the word, not like the hypocrites that frequent this section.
and I have never been damned by a Jehovah witness.
Did Sampson really kill thousands with his bare hand in one day?
did Noah "really" build an Ark and save the animals?
Come on, get real.

Answer 3

Exodus 6:3
And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.

Acts 15:14
Sym´e·on has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.

Matthew 6:9
Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified...

Answer 4

They seem like nice enough people i guess.
It's annoying when they come to my house with leaflets or ask for donations, but they don't seem to have that "I'M RIGHT YOU'RE WRONG" thing that many other christian denominations seem to have.

The thing that p's me off about them however, is the fact that they claim they're a christian denomination, but yet, completely make up stories and rules that are not in the bible.

I'm not particularly fond of religion, particularly theistic religions, but doesn't making up s''t completely different to that of which is written in your "holy book" completely defy what theistic religions are about, which is following the "true word of god".

Oh and to question 2.
I seriously doubt it.

Answer 5

They don't believe in burning hell..so that isn't true..
They are good , honest people who love God very, very much..They believe everything they try to teach with their whole hearts..but they are not willing to listen to reasoning from people about their beliefs and the past of the WT organization. I think they are being mislead and they have no clue..and until they start to search their hearts and pray for God to let them know for certain if they have the real truth...they will continue to be mislead.

Answer 6

honestly speaking, we have had a married couple (Jehovah witnesses) coming to our house for the last 18 mths. my hubby invited them in we agreed to a bible study. although we both have doubts still, they don't pressurise us and the wife just pops in for a chat now and then and i like them. i have learnt more about the bible in 18 mths than i have in my whole 30 yrs and some of what they say makes sense. if you are willing to open up your minds and accept it.

we will only ever know IF and WHEN the said day arrives. won't we. in the meantime, live your life the way you want, if has repercussions then it s your own fault for not having a faith!

Answer 7

I think personally their beliefs are immoral, wrong and completely out of place in modern society.

But that is just my view, if they want to believe that, then that is fine too.

But the problem is they try and FORCE their beliefs on other people, and that is the part I will never accept about them.

Answer 8

1...I've spoken to some at the door and they were very nice, if a little clingy. I took some literature from them and read it. Not really my thing.

Answer 9

2. No, Samson also had the power of the holy spirit from God.

(Judges 13:24-25) Later the woman gave birth to a son and called his name Samson; and the boy kept getting bigger, and Jehovah continued to bless him. In time Jehovah’s spirit started to impel him

(Judges 14:5-6) Samson went on down...look! a maned young lion roaring upon meeting him. Then Jehovah’s spirit became operative upon him, so that he tore it in two

(Judges 16:28-30) Samson now called to Jehovah and said: “Sovereign Lord Jehovah, remember me, please, and strengthen me, please...And Samson proceeded to say: “Let my soul die with the Philistines.” Then he bent himself with power, and the house went falling upon the axis lords and upon all the people that were in it, so that the dead that he put to death in his own death came to be more than those he had put to death during his lifetime.


1. Jehovah's Witnesses have the true religion. They are Christian (of course), but they are unique for their rejection of paganisms, use of God's personal name, and global preaching by every active adherent. No other religious organization can claim such purity of worship.

These facts about Jehovah's Witnesses are perhaps relevant to this question. The more one compares this Christian religion with others, the more remarkable it is shown to be.

1. Jehovah's Witnesses have no paid clergy. Yet they remain tightly organized with more than 6.5 million active Jehovah's Witness preachers (about 16 million associate themselves with the religion). Even fulltime preachers and workers at their branch offices are unpaid volunteers.

2. There is no elite class among Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the few 'anointed' among them enjoy no special privileges in their congregations on earth. An anointed person (one of those relative few with a heavenly hope) is not elevated above his fellow congregants in any way, and he may not even qualify for appointment as a simple 'deacon' or elder. There are no titles; EVERYONE is addressed as 'brother' or 'sister'.

3. No person benefits economically from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the 8 to 20 men who serve on their Governing Body receive simply room, board, medical care, and reimbursement for certain personal expenses according to the exact same provision as every other branch volunteer.

4. About a hundred men have served on Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body committee during the past 125 years or so. The vast majority of them have spent the vast majority of their adult lives volunteering for their organization's purposes, and the vast majority have died faithfully and near-pennilessly while still under their legal 'vow of poverty'.

5. Amazingly, Jehovah's Witnesses did not splinter as a sect from some other religion. Instead, a truly tiny but sincere group of bible students studied only the Scriptures to determine the will of God. Thus their religion remains absolutely independent of and not carrying the sins of Christendom's history, yet carries the authority of Christ's teachings.

6. Despite the distortions of anti-Witnesses, throughout their modern history Jehovah's Witnesses have refused to claim divine inspiration or infallibility for their teachings. They have pointed to the bible (and not any particular translation) as the only inspired infallible means of knowing God's thoughts. For over 125 years, their teachings have been presented as merely the results of sincere bible research by imperfect but godly humans.

Answer 10

They do not accept the deity of Christ. Jesus is God.

John 1:1-4

Answer 11

My best friend from college was molested by her teacher, and since her parents were Jehovah Witnesses, they refused to acknowledge it. I'm not sure how that translates, but now she lives it LA, and lives her life, while her now childless parents deteriorate alone on 12 acres in upstate NY. My point is, i think it's a fading religion. Lets hope.
