What is the craziest belief Jehovahs Witnesses have?

Question

I would like to know what you have heard or know is the craziest thing Jehovahs Witnesses believe.

Just name one.

Thank you for you answers.

I just wanted to see what kinds of misconceptions people have about Jehovahs Witnesses.

I guess maybeyou all should see what they really believe instead of what someone told you or what you may have "heard."

and about the blood transfusions, Ask next time and you may find out why God doesnt want you to share your blood. In my eyes it is sacred. Blood belongs to God.

Answer 1

Noah had a "crazy" belief too. He believed that a heavy rain was approaching. So he warned his neighbors that if they did not get into an ark he was building, then they would be destroyed.

Turns out that "crazy" Noah was right. All the people he warned drowned. So, who turned out to really be crazy?

Kingston M needs to read "The Purple Triangle," written by a non-witness Polish man. The book details the suffering of JWs during the war for NOT supporting Hitler.

Answer 2

"They believe Satan most commonly takes on the form of a female temptress" You are wrong here. "Socializing with people outside their religion is forbidden unless they are trying to convert someone" You are wrong here as well. "No Kingdom Hall I have ever seen (I've been to many) has windows." How many are "many?" Do you want picture of Kingdom Halls with windows, would that be enough to show that you are wrong here as well? "They used to think Armageddon was going to come in 1975 and then quickly changed their tune when it didn't, despite the fact they believe that The Watchtower (the publication the '75 stuff was in) is supposed to be God's unchangeable word." I'll ask you what I have asked everyone else who has made this claim, can you produce just one clear written statement to that effect? "They are not allowed to vote, join the military, or pledge allegiance to the flag." I could do each of the above, I chose not to. That's because I would prefer to follow Jesus' example and be no part of the world. "Once a member is disfellowshipped, it is required to cut off all contact with that person, even if they are family." Really? Are you sure you are right about this? Not true by the way. "They identify with "sheep" and everyone else is a "goat"" No that's not our call. Jesus will do the judginging and I like it that way. "They have a little sheet where they track your responses to their door-to-door preaching and get higher elevated in the congregation for putting in crazy amounts of hours." No. not true either. "This is what I know about Jehovah's Witnesses:" It seems you don't know much about Jehovah's Witnesses.

Answer 3

most of the beliefs of jehovah witnesses are false one example is this the name of GOD. the jehovah witnesses teaching jehovah is the real and personal name of God but according to a 1950 edition of the NEW WORLD BIBLE TRANSLATION of the Jehovah Witnesses,they are inclined to view the pronounciation YAHWEH as more correct,but retained the word Jehovah because it was popular among people. Meaning,adopting the word Jehovah is not for the sake of truth,but of popularity. Another from ther own book REASONING OF THE SCRIPTURE page 192 says that jehovah is a later invention and not present in the Hebrew nor the Greek original language used in the bible.

Answer 4

I cannot understand how they can believe watchtower when they have said so many lies concerning prophecies. I even got a private email from one who said this to me "When we read your copy jobs, we just shake our heads at your foolishness."
So now I went to the source watchtower and got there prophecies from there.
Here we go straight from wathtower concerning 1975
"Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end.—1 John 2:17
Kingdom Ministry May 1974 pg.3"

and more
"At all assembly points where it was released, the book was received enthusiastically. Crowds gathered around stands and soon supplies of the book were depleted. Immediately its contents were examined. It did not take the brothers very long to find the chart beginning on page 31, showing that 6,000 years of man's existence end in 1975. Discussion of 1975 overshadowed about everything else. "The new book compels us to realize that Armageddon is, in fact, very close indeed," said a conventioner. Surely it was one of the outstanding blessings to be carried home!
Watchtower 10/15/66 pg.628-9 "

"But, without a doubt, nothing has created more interest in this textbook than the first chapter with its chart and fine information regarding the 7,000 years of God's rest day. The observation that 1975 may well mark the beginning of mankind's great Jubilee has intrigued many.
Watchtower 1/1/67 pg.29"

"'What about the year 1975? What is it going to mean, dear friends?' asked Brother Franz. 'Does it mean that Armageddon is going to be finished, with Satan bound, by 1975? It could! It could! All things are possible with God. Does it mean that Babylon the Great is going to go down by 1975? It could.
Watchtower 10/15/66 pg.631"

"In their new book, Famine—1975!, two noted food experts, William and Paul Paddock, make this forecast for the future, on page 61:"By 1975 civil disorder, anarchy, military dictatorships, runaway inflation, transportation breakdowns and chaotic unrest will be the order of the day in many of the hungry nations.
Watchtower 4/15/68 pg.227"

The bible warns us of many false teachers and false prophets coming and deceiving many and it is all written by watchtower yet people still believe them

Answer 5

that they know everything and everyone else is stupid

Answer 6

They don't adhere to scripture. They think the Watchtower is a better source of Gods truth than His own words in the bible.
Despite clear translation in the bible, the Watchtower publication can easily twist the meaning of scripture to fit in with its own belief.
Bible text:
John 10:30
I and my Father are one. (I would think that the meaning of this would be easy to understand)
Watchtower teaching:
Jesus and God think and act the same yet they are two different entities. (How much clearer could it be said that Jesus and God are the same entity?)

Answer 7

Their Name..

Jehovah's False Witnesses!!

Answer 8

Yeah I dont know where that guy got his info. Most everybody knows the whole reason why Jehovah's people were put in the Nazi camps is because they wouldn't support him. He had nothing against them like he did with the Jewish people but we refused to help or even support him. Also JW's are politically neutral so whether the beast was Britain or not wouldn't have any relevance in that regard. Look that up. It's well documented.

Answer 9

That if they knock on enough doors everyone will be saved from the destruction soon to come.

As in the days of Jonah the whole city of Nineveh was condemned. Jonah didn't want to tell them.

But after a few days in the fish and the bottle gourd plant he told them.

And lo and behold they all turned around and started serving Jehovah again and were spared.

So if we are at your door more now it's because we are very afraid for you. We would like you to live.

Crazy huh?

KINGSTON , you are totally wrong. Jehovah's Witnesses were the first to sound the alarm about Hitler being a crazy man and dangerous. One million Jehovah's Witnesses died in those camps.

Answer 10

Not perhaps what you have in mind, but still...

In the Bible, Daniel has a vision of something called the "Beast", which was generally interpreted as symbolising the Roman Empire. Some Jehovah's Witnesses in the UK [and elsewhere], however, interpreted this as the British Empire, and consequently even supported Hitler.

Go back through British newspaper archives of the time. It was well documented.

[debbie: yes, they did end up being subject to horrific persecution by the Nazis. However, in the Declaration of Facts of 1933, they agreed with the Nazi Party on many points. It was openly anti-Semite, anti-British and anti-American.

At one point they declared themselves to be POLITICALLY NEUTRAL!!! Hence conclusively not anti-Nazi. A refusal [as British citizens] to condemn the politics of the Nazi Party. No hearsay, no conspiracy theory. Written in black and white. Naturally, their position changed [as has so often been the case] with the course of events.

They have simply and conveniently rewritten parts of their own history. [I would also mention the various unfulfilled prophecies and the "interesting" belief that the Anointed (144,000 people) will be in heaven to reign with Jehovah God, whilst the remainder of the faithful Jehovah's Witnesses (not of the 144,000) will live forever on a paradise Earth.... but I won't go on!!!]
