Annie, don’t let them upset you. I know of no other religion that puts themselves out there, spreading the word of God, KNOWING they will receive the ridicule of man.

You are spreading the word, that’s all that matters.

Hey these guys -- the ones Jesus talked about below -- were also traversing afar to spread "God's Word" -- you gonna give them a "shoutout" thru your time machine on their behalf as well?

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are. (Matt. 23:15)

Then your 'knowledge' is limited.

ALL Christians KNOW (or should) that they will be opposed!

1Pe 4:12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.
1Pe 4:13 But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
1Pe 4:14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
1Pe 4:15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.
1Pe 4:16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

HUH??? Thousands of Christian missionaries and ministers (and even everyday believers) put themselves up not only for ridicule but put their very lives on the line EVERY DAY to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

JW’s spread a “false Word” and a “false gospel”, Christ is not preached, their “program” is.
