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!!
I don’t know why that picture always crack’s me up no matter which side of which thread it’s thrown out in. It’s just plain funny!
You came here to “yell” at us in all caps (very juvenile) and expect anyone to respond favorably?
YOU AREN”T WELCOME HERE IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE A CAPIST
I feel your pain. They do the same kind of stuff to Mormons. I studied with the JW’s one time. It was interesting. I was there one time when they offered “communion” but no one took it because if you took it it would mean you were one of the 144,000.
Anyway, the fact that JW’s suffer so much persecution and hatred must indicate something good about you. Know what I mean?
P.S. I love Jehovah.
If you shout like that on someone’s porch, you’re going to get more than pushed off, you’re going to get mugged.
IBTZ
WHAT??? SPEAK UP! I DON’T THINK YOU’RE PLUGGED IN!!
Yes, it is a cult and you are a prime candidate for Zot!
All I ZOT for Christmas is my too frunt teef!
Hey that’s not us that’s that other American cult... I mean some other American cult... I mean that’s the freakin mormons!
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?
So what happened to all those hundreds of years ago that didn’t call themselves “Jehovah’s Witnesses?”
I believe you’re taking one verse out of context. I believe it was intended to mean all CHRISTIANS would be hated because of his name — JESUS.
I have friends that are Jehovah’s Witnesses. I have respect for them and their faith. I believe you’re doing a diservice to your faith the way you go about it.
Now, that is funny. I don’t care who you are.
My Grandmother was a Witness, and I had a LOT of discussions with her before she died. One thing I found out early, we both spoke English, but we didn’t mean the same thing by the words we said and heard.
I can’t buy the “soul-sleep” typed of concept either. If I am destroyed by death, and God recreates me, that’s not me. That’s just somebody that thinks he’s me. There has to be a soul to carry the essence of ‘chesley’, or when ‘chesley’ is gone, he’s gone forever.
Not the religion for me
No........IBTZ means that you got to post on the thread before the original poster was zotted.
Psst.
“Jehovah” is a made-up word that Jews laugh at, because “YHWH” is meant to be unpronounceable, because it’s impossible to insert any philogically correct vowels between the letters. Even if one was to adopt the notion that you were supposed to insert the vowels of “Adonai” between the letters of “YHWH,” you would get “Yahowaih.” But since a W can’t follow an H (unless followed by a hard consonant) nor can an H follow a W at the end of a word, there’s really no way you could make up a word like “Yahowaih” (Or like “Jehovah”) in Hebrew. Face it, the reason “Jehovah” was used by ignorant, Rennaissance Protestants was because Yahowaih sounded too silly.
Nice knowing you, DORK!
