It is true that Jehovah's Witnesses are not loved by everyone.
http://jw-media.org/newsroom/human_rights.htm
Some people hate Jehovah's Witnesses out of ignorance, or over some misunderstanding. A few may have had a bad personal experience with an individual who claimed to be a Jehovah's Witness, and prejudicially extended their animus to this entire Christian religion.
However, it seems that the majority of anti-Witness hatred is motivated by religious intolerance and bigotry. A few may even be motivated against their Christian worship by the unseen 'god of this system of things', Satan the Devil.
(2 Corinthians 4:4) the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers
Interestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:
(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.
(Luke 6:22) Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.
(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
It seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.

jesus died to make us realize our "sins" not in some holyer than though way, but as any one would look back at their life and try to change stuff they are ashamed of or regret doing, to try and help us become better people. sadly, it seems that his efforts have almost been a waste. all the people that talk about jesus and being a "good" christian seem to be the biggest hypocrits, cheaters, liars, child molesters, etc. it's disgusting isn't it? i wonder what jesus would say now? i bet that if jesus were here today he would have been persecuted the same way. we haven't learned our lessons yet.

Jesus didn't die for us to be awake. He died for our sins, to cleanse our hearts. He was the final and ultimate sacrifice; the reason we don't make sacrifices today. God gave up His only son for us, to show that he loves us "that" much. It's something worth considering and thinking about.

I don't get it!
Most of the people he died for are mentally dormant so your question makes little to no sense at all!
...oh wait, ...I think I get it, Yes, Yes he did. Jebus died so that we can wake up and realize how wrong we live and how we can better our ways. His sacrifice has been taken for granted and has been misinterpreted over time. But the second coming (if there really is one) will take care of that.
I'm with you, burn the witnesses, those good for nothing (other than spreading rumors) bastards or sons of bastards!
Nosy people, too timid and weak to stand fo their beliefs.
FOR SHAME!!!

Yeah He did. Now no one can ever say. I never heard I never saw I did not know. We all know the truth whether or not we choose to believe stands with us. *burn the witnesses bit I do not understand* though.

I despise everything that witnesses stand for, but I don't think I would care to burn them. They are just in the dark.

No, based on the Bible Jesus died to stop all our sins. That was the first time he came. The bible says that he will come a second time to take with him does that have valued his sacrifice, and there wont be a second chance of cleaning sins. What is done is done.
