Jehovah Wittnesses What do you think about them?

Question

I am a Jehovah Wittness to all you people who have been saying bad things

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses 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 2

People who take time to bring the Good news of God's kingdom to Spiritually Blind Mankind are to be applauded. Jesus said " “Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, . . . 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.”—Matthew 28:19, 20.
Who else is doing it Huh...Take a Guess..

Answer 3

They seem to be very nice people. I think they don't believe Jesus is a God. Nothing wrong with that because a messiah should not be a God but a servant of God. So, JW are being logical here.

Still, if humans want to believe in these supernatural concepts than humanity is probably doomed because these humans are waiting for their God to come to kill first then build a paradise for them here on earth but waits much longer to take them all to heaven for eterntity.

Sounds absurd but they do believe such silly ideas. That is sad. Now, how long do they suppose to wait for this God to come to rescue them from God itself? I hope 10,000 more years is enough for them to forget about religion just for once.

If not then they need 1 million years and if that is not enough maybe they need 1 billion years. If that is the case then we hope they are in the minority otherwise humanity is in deep trouble.

Answer 4

Like Vot said, we have family all over the world :) We are not misguided. We strive to learn and teach Bible truth.

Answer 5

I think we are simply Christians striving to follow the Bible. Doesn't make us perfect, but doesn't make us the villians many IDs on here claim.

Answer 6

Good law abiding people that love God and their neighbors. Know their Bibles - all that are dedicated and baptized are ordained ministers.

Answer 7

I disagree with them 100% on their religious views. They are nice people though.

Answer 8

I don't think about them much, except when they invade my privacy and bang on the front door. I tried being polite at first but that didn't work...they kept coming back. Finally, I told them I adored satan and invited them in to see my altar....they just shook their heads, never to return.

Answer 9

I have nothing against them until they come knocking on my door while I'm trying to sleep in. My father used to open the door naked every time they came to the house but I'd rather stay on speaking terms with my neighbours.

Answer 10

I usually have them leaving in tears because I usually totally debunk any crap they spew. I do not feel the need to be polite to them, I consider them as annoying as any other solicitor in some cases, more so.
