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!!
just another one telling a lie about what witnesses believe..witnesses have no paid clergy like most churches. the bible says you recieved free give free. and they dont teach that u can earn your way to heaven by recruiting followers. but i guess since you are going to make things up try a better tale next time!!
no the witnesses do not try to control anyone. tell me do you just read or hear lies about the witnesses and and believe anything or are you a free thinking individual?

the witnesses believe that you can give gifts all year around, certainly not cheaper than 1 gift a year. we believe that most holidays are of pagan origin. do you think god approves of pagan worship? i dont think so.idol worship is not approved by god either. we only serve one god, Jehovah.
the witnesses never claimed to be infallable. at least they humbly admit any errors they have made.
i totally believe and agree with what you wrote. so any argument would be on the same side. i was not on some rant when i wrote what i did. but i had read one to many articles about what the witnesses believe and teach.most of which were wrong. i see u did the homework. yeah!!!!
wow just google jws. there are thousands of articles about how witnesses cover up child molesting. and the most recent was about a witness who murderded his wife. they of course had to mention his religion.
Really? Where else would you like to pry?
Mt 10:32 “Everyone, then, that confesses union with me before men, I will also confess union with him before my Father who is in the heavens.”....Just like Jesus went door to door (well, town to town)witnessing, they believe they are following in His footsteps.
If you see that as a cult, then you must think Jesus and his disciples were a cult.
I celebrate the birth of Christ, Gos in the flesh. Keep your twisted Scripture to yourself.
Charles Taze Russell was a con man and it was proved in court.
You’re the one who mentioned your family, not I.
And you questioned how they couldn't have met. No one else did in the whole thread. Just you.
How the heck can you as one poster make all these replies just 1-3 seconds apart in posting sequence?
Explain that to us Annie.
I’ve never seen that before here in 10 years.
You can’t type that quick and hit post and the software and portal connection all clear that quick.
wow u must really feel empowered by telling the witnesses off. knowing that they are peacable people makes them a good target for those trying to prove how bad an cool they are. i know of a girl who used to order poor waitresses around cuz she knew they had to take the crap she dished out. sounds like u need to prove somethin. yep your really cool.
She's a newbie and her comments are still under review by the mods. We published several at once.
I must admit, I do not know who this person is. I never learned of him in any of my Bible studies. I will look into it though. I'm assuming from your post he has to do with Jehovah Witnesses?
"and it was proved in court."
Again, knowing nothing of him (I will search once I post this) proven guilty in mans court doesn't hold much water.
Look at the "justices" we have in court now. They believe the killing of the unborn is a okay!
I thought it might have been Divine Intervention. (In a way - I guess it was though - Almighty Adminmod).
2 family members who have never met?? Yes, I did find that odd so I questioned it!
Your posts indicate that you have learned a lot from these 3, but yet 2 have never met.
Because no one else has questioned it means it should not be questioned??
