How do Jews interact with Jehovah's Witnesses?

Question

Pooka, being Christians does not mean they believe on Jesus... Just like Jews. There are believers and non-believers in Christian world about Jesus.

Kesmit, I do believe in continuity.

Answer 1

JW believe they are the lost tribe and here to replace the Jews as Gods chosen.
A JW witness will say whatever is needed to get in the door but I doubt there is any different interaction between them or others.
JW's are not Christians because in order to be a Christian one has to believe in the death and ressurection of Jesus the Son of God--JW's do not.

They do spend a lot of time on the "last days" and they share the Holocaust experience in that JW's were also a target for elimination.

Answer 2

Um, not sure exactly how you mean. I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses. From what I understand genetically speaking, I am Jewish. I interact with me, on most days, just fine.

Answer 3

As a Jew I have never had any problem interacting with Jehovah's Witnesses. Could you give more detail as to what you mean?

Good Luck!!!

Answer 4

well we do now... hehe today I met one.... for the first time in my life he was nice - he came he said hello I said hello and smiled - then I told him are u a nice person just saying hello or do you have an interest or something he was a bit confused and astonished by my straightness because u don;t usually say something like that after hello but I can read ppl but I really hoped he just wanted to talk to me and be friendly n/m to the story well he sat next to me (I was outside waiting for a ride back home from Tel aviv) and he said do you know Jehovah's Witnesses I said I think u are somekind of jews love jesus right he said not exactly but close (btw the only reason I knew that was from this forom hehe) but anyways he said are u and optimistic person I said yes he was shocked hehe then he asked do u believe the world is a good place(because they believe the world is no not good and will be in the future) I said yes and gave him 20 examples... hehe I was really enjoying this (he called me a liberal with a smile) and I wanted him to stay and continue to talk to me so he asked me another question do u believe in god or something like god more then the government I told him this is a question that we will sit here and talk about until we are dead and I said there will be bones here of u and me before we agree he smiled and i said comeon stay here I want to talk to someone I'm bored but he said he had to go because he wanted to convince other ppl and that i'm inconvinceable hehe so I wished him luck and then he saw some lady and approached her and she was very frightened but after he made it clear to her he wasn't looking for a donation she just told him she knows about Jehovah's Witnesses and he left her too....

Answer 5

I would like to point out that JW's are not Christians. They say Christ was an Angel. as you might call him a prophet.
Christians say He is God come to earth as man.
If you think Christians are pushy and want to evangelize Let a team off on your street and see the difference.

Answer 6

I've never actually met one! I respect their right to worship and believe as they see fit. I would expect they show me the same respect.

Answer 7

Sadness...amusement...anger... indifference...everything short of acceptance. Which, if they do, then they cease to be Jews, and become Christians.

Answer 8

I have a friend at work who is JW, I am Jewish, and we respect one another.
Why wouldn't we??

Answer 9

In Israel we dont have jehovahs witnesses so i dont know what you are talking about.
