I am against the JW religion because it professes to be Christian and I don't believe it is. And yes I know a little about your beliefs. For one you do not believe in the trinity, which that right there makes you non-Christian in my opinion. I also know that JW's wrote their own version of the Bible. Things were changed in it that are not in agreement with any other translation. You also teach that there is no Hell (and by Hell I mean a burning lake of fire not the grave) for sinners. You believe only 144,000 will actually be in Heaven with God. Somehow you think these will be JW's even though the 144,000 mentioned in the Bible are all Jews. You believe the Holy Spirit is just the active force of God and not a person or being on His own. You believe Jesus is a created being. You believe Jesus and Michael the archangel are one and the same. You believe Jesus was just a perfect man and not God in the flesh. You believe Jesus did not physically raise from the dead.
There is much more but the above is enough. If any of it is wrong feel free to point out what is wrong.

Not against Jehovah witnesses or any other religion. My problem with them is that there so persistent about you accepting their literature. But just try to hand them some of yours and see how fast they reject it. I know, I did it just to see. I think people should keep an open mind about other religions. Just don't be so quick to say whats right and whats wrong.

I have nothing AGAINST JWs. I just don't believe what they believe.
I am basing my decision upon some of the readings in the WatchTower that I have read, as well as writings about JWs doctrine in "The Kingdom of the Cults," by Walter Martin, Ph.D., a professor who was an expert in cults originating in America.
But I do not impede their beliefs in any way.

I am not against Jehovah Witnesses, My best friend is one. I love her dearly, not only does she give me good advice, she would be there for me anytime that I need her, no matter what kind of problem I could be having. I feel that the good Lord has sent her to me, she is like a sister to me. I could never even try to explain the love and respect that I have for her.

Actually I know quite a few - some of them are family members. The next time someone pounds on your door in the dark hours of the morning (before 6 am) to preach at you, then we'll talk.

I don't profess to know all that much about Jehovahs Witnesses, and I am not against any of the various religions, but I DO find the extensive proselytization to be somewhat irritating.

I know tons about them, having been one for 22 years.
Nobody is against the Witness individually, it is the Org. that is evil and corrupt.
If you saw someone trying to do the right thing standing on the railroad tracks and a train was going to squish them, wouldn't you do ever thing in you power to get them on the right track.
The org. has the witnesses believing that they have a special train repellent, and the train can not hurt them.
It is kinda like that for us who have gotten into the real Grace of God and see the Witnesses still standing in spiritual danger.

Most JW's are nice folks.
They just happen to accept the hopelessly flawed theology of proven false prophets, as presently promoted by the "boys from brooklyn".
They also accept a very biased and poorly translated version of the bible and promote it as God's truth.

I only hate the ones that come knocking on my door to try and get me to believe what they believe and they just won't take no for an answer.......those people are so arrogant to think that they have to get everyone to believe as they do.
Jehovahs Witnesses can all f off and leave people alone if they don't want people to hate them so much....believe whatever you want to believe in just keep it to yourselves.

I think that some of their views are interesting, but others are so far off base it is hard to take the good that goes with. I am sure that they are for the most part good hearted and well intentioned, as are most people on Earth.
