They’re outrageous heretics who believe that God the Father has 2 sons, Jesus and Lucifer! Pray for them but don’t let them in your house.

When I moved from New Hampshire to Connecticut (From homelessness to an apartment) I got a job at a Tile Art studio. An apprentice, and kiln-operator, I also silk-screened and grouted small art projects for the owners who occupied their time touring and designing tile projects in multi-million dollar mansions.

My Boss was a woman. A nice woman, who offered support and generous amounts of patience and training.

I was fired 2 weeks later. The reason cited ? “(she) is a jehovah’s witness, and can not have a male working under her supervision.”

Yeah yeah, laws and all that. No matter, I was able to find a job in I.T., where I belonged. But still, it haunts me to this day.

they are not allowed to discuss politics.

Sounds like the roots of oppression.

Did you hear about the Universalist Unitarian who converted to be a Jehovah's Witness?

He liked going door to door, but he didn't have anything to say.

They do NOT vote.

I am a friend of the maintenance guy in our office who is JW. He would come in my office for years and complain about taxes, the war, the pres.

One day I asked him who he voted for (generally, they are very conservative) and he told me that it is against their religion to vote. I hit the ceiling.

I told him to get out of my office and never come in and talk politics again until he votes.

My one close encounter with these people is a family whose brother joined the bizarre cult in question.

Their mother was very ill. The son agreed to visit his mother on her deathbed only if she would agree not to have any blood transfusions. He made it known that he was really being a nice guy about even considering seeing her in the first place, since she was not a cult member.

However, she went ahead with the transfusions and he never came to see her. He also refused to attend her funeral.

Unbearable but harmless. I can’t stand being around people who get outraged when you wish them a happy birthday.

They abstain from any form of nationalism or government besides paying their taxes.

They are generally meek and respectful. I once studied with them for a while and they seemed like good people who built a wall to keep out things they don’t approve of. This had included their son whom they had cut off over his behavior.

But I was a Baptist and it didn’t work.

As a Christian, I cannot even sit down and talk with them, because they deny that Jesus is the Son of God. What do we have in common if they deny that most fundamental belief?

I’ve known several JW and they’ve all been nice people. JW is a cult and all members need our prayers and to learn the truth about God’s Son.

The office I used to work at was full of Obama people. The Jehovah’s Witness in the office and I gravitated towards each other, because we were both uncomfortable by all the political talk at work. Ended up being friends and she never tried to convert me. Just a good hearted person. She always told me that my kids were so spoiled (good naturedly) and wished that we would adopt her. She even called my husband her uncle. lol She was and still is a sweetheart.

Cult that controls it’s members by shunning - even your own child is to be shunned if they don’t follow to the letter. Their hierarchy is similar to the Mormon church in that the leadership is usually the richest locals who take charge, rather than someone trained in theology.
