FIRST OF ALL THE WITNESSES ARE NOT A CULT. THAT OPINION WAS FORMED BY SOMEONE THAT OBVIOUSLY FEELS THREATNED BY THE TRUTH.IT AMAZES ME THAT WHENEVER A WITNESS DOES SOMETHING WRONG IT MAKES THE FRONT PAGE OF THE NEWS! IF A BABTIST OR PROTESTANT DOES SOMETHING WRONG IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR RELIGION. AND THIS BIG COVER UP GARBAGE IS A JOKE. ADMITTEDLY THEY ARE NOT PERFECT NOR CLAIM TO BE. MATT 24:9 SAYS THAT WE WOULD BE OBJECTS OF HATRED ON ACCOUNT OF HIS NAME. WHAT OTHER RELIGION IS HATED ON ACCOUNT OF HIS NAME? ONLY 1 THAT I CAN THINK OF THE WITNESSES PROUDLY GLORIFY JEHOVAHS NAME. ALSO WE ARE NOT PROGRAMMED. WE HAVE FREE WILL,GOD DOES NOT WANT ROBOTS, THAT IS WHY HE GAVE ADAM AND EVE FREE WILL. AND WE DO BELIEVE IN JESUS. HE IS GODS SON AND HE DID GIVE HIS LIFE FOR OUR SINS. I ALSO GET A KICK OUT OF THOSE WHO TELL US WHAT WE BELIEVE, ESPECIALLY IF IT ISN'T TRUE. PEOPLE JUST MAKE UP WHAT THEY WANT ABOUT THE WITNESSES AND THE NAIVE ONES BELIEVE IT. IF IT IS TRUE THEN LOOK INTO WHY WE BELIEVE WHAT WE DO. DONT JUST ASSUME TO KNOW EVERYTHING THAT THEY TEACH OR BELLIEVE BASED ON SOMEONE ELSE'S OPINION. TALK ABOUT HAVING A MIND OF YOUR OWN!!
Go argue with someone else.
I am a German WW2 Reenactor. One saturday, I was trying on my new German tunic and trousers to make sure all the ribbons were in place and straight and the boots fit when The doorbell rang. Thinking it was the guy accross the street, I figured it would a good laugh to answer the door in uniform.
Imagine the surprised look on the JW faces when a guy wearing a Whermacht uniform opened the door.
They havent been back since.
I think surgical removal is the only option...
I couldn’t get answers to those either. That is part of the reason I am no longer LDS.
Whitesburg? If so, my brother was married in that church. His wife was also married there. Funny coincidence, that.
I think that’s only for Mjöllnir toes.
Hey Annie, stop by my house and we can discuss it.......
It’s funny that thread was locked
“Baiting”
But this thread - mocking a similar cult is just fine.
Amazing how far medical science has come...
Even the cost of the machine that goes "ping" has come down considerably...
Signed up today just to put a foot in our door?
Yes, it is. People know not to mess with the members there with our wonderful pastor teaching from the Bible verse by verse. Have gone there since 1983.
I have no expectation of Annieup reading the post. However, sometimes it is beneficial to post things for the lurkers as well as other freepers.
When it goes ‘clunk’ instead, there’s a problem.
I have been preached to by many Jehovah Witnesses...I don’t subscribe to your beliefs...So I put your religion into the same boat as the Mormons and Catholics...
However, you have just as much right to post here as anyone else...But yer gonna have to grow some skin...
Call the bio-med department...
LOL! Whitesburg has a fine, outstanding witness. I don’t know if the assistant pastor from 1975 is still there. He is the one who performed the wedding. Since our family has an Armenian heritage, he spoke part of the service in Armenian.
Only my dad understood him.
I wasn’t even mocking Mormons...certainly not as fellow, patriotic Americans or even as fellow Republicans. It was posted in the religion thread and was meant as a tool for Christians who may have Mormon missionaries show up at their front door one day. I myself was interested in understanding how Mormon tenets contradict Biblical Christianity.
Here’s a good website for how Christians should witness to Jehovah’s Witnesses:

I got a Viktor Von Frankenstein.
Is this covered by my HMO?
