When I come by my friends house they are always there. They are polite to me but act like I'm interfering. Anyone here associated with them or been to their church? Thanks.
Find a copy of “30 Years - A Watchtower Slave”. Jehovahs Witnesses are a cult, just like the Mormons are. They entrap people with their robotic mind control tactics or violence against those members who wish to leave the cult.
He can expect no oral, I can tell you that.
Very good post.
LOL! Very good.
They just built a new megasanctuary in the boonies near Orangeburg, SC, FWIW.
I’ve also made the Sign of the Cross on myself, and just plain asked them, “What would you like to know about Catholicism?”
They were gone faster than ...........

Ah! You beat me to it!
Best source for understanding them, although there are other good books, this one is definitive.
It's got chapters on every major religion, cult, and New Age thing going on. I think the latest edition is edited Ravi Zacharias.
I have the exact same experience...I've had them say "we have to leave now"!!!!it is a great and fulfilling experience!!
“A good friend is considering joining the Jehovah’s Witnesses. What should he worry about?”
That the JW’s are wrong about the annihilation of the soul and that hell is real.
I always thought a cult was a group having a charismatic leader, attracts followers who are in some way disenfranchised from the mainstream of society and collapses upon loss of the charismatic leader. Because the JWs have survived multiple leadership changes, I think it more accurate to view them as a sect.
they are not saved,
I thought only God knows who is and is not saved. Why do you believe they are not saved?
anything not saved is a cult, there’s no gray area here.
From where do you get your definition of cult?
If your life is not a witness to the greatness of Christ and his sacrifice for you, why should she pay any attention to what you have to say?
“What should he worry about?”
People who let big dogs loose when JW cultists knock on the door.
[well, you asked]
It’s a cult. Jesus is a god but not coequal to Jehovah..

Both groups like to predict the “end times”
Yes, they are different but — I know that there is cross over between the two groups.
Matt 5:22 "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell."
Last I checked, they reject the Uncreated Divinity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
That in itself is a big enough reason to be concerned. The heavy cultish aspects do not help one bit either.
