So not very sure which JW's came to your door? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29043994 I told them to get off my property! I this hard to believe since JW's aren't prone to praising a head of wordly government. They are respectful but they only recognize Jehovah as their supreme leader and lord. JW's don't vote so they don't have a 'horse-in-the-race' so to say. |

They will screw your life up entirely and all for a false cult. They change their message more times than a whore's knickers. Just wait until they finally realise that Charles Taze-Russell only found ot that 1914 would be a significant year from reading the pyramids not the bible. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29059863 They got 1914 from 607 BC or the date Babylon fell. I looked the date up on their website and there is information telling how they came upon this for anyone who is interested. Others say there is another date that Babylon fell but what is telling is that 1914 was significant and that man called it. But what I do believe is that we are living in significant times. Many Christians believe this. So date or not date it looks like Jesus is getting closer to returning. [link to wol.jw.org] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1550123 They are not politically involved because the Bible says that Satan rules this planet for right now. And he owns the governments so they wouldn't take sides. At least they shouldn't and the majority wouldn't. They are in this world but not apart of it. That is how all Christians should be. They did. I told them not to be deceived. But they kept saying he's a great man and leader...sickening. If you're a REAL Christian you look at the fruits of the tree. Obviously many have decided to not follow what the Son said regarding end of the age(times). They wouldn't have said Obama is a great man and leader.LOL Whoever it was wasn't a JW. Maybe you got the Mormons instead. They are very politically involved. The next time you meet a JW ask them about their great leader and please post your interaction with them. They would say Jehovah who is Almighty God and His son Jesus Christ. |

Quoting: seer Here is the scripture that is used: "I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don't even eat with such people."1 Corinthians 5:11 Shunning is not meant to be mean but to hope that the person understands how serious it is to leave God and will come back. There are quite a few Christian religions that practice this. I wouldn't say this is an easy thing to practice because it looks to be very difficult. But if a person is very serious about their religious beliefs they will be careful who they are around even if they are family members. Sad but the Bible is very serious about this it seems. Jesus would have been shunned by the JW's. Because the Lord of Lords was eating, talking, with and enjoying time with sinners. The JW's would have bashed Jesus for this. Just as did the Messianic Jews did.

BUT I don't think they'll be spreading the word.. you see, they preach about the good things to come under Christs' dominion, not the crap going on now.. unlike most other "semi-christian" denominations like Seven Day Adventists and any other "fringe christians of the internet" that talk more about the amazing Satan built up his empire of nonsense than what Jesus and YHWH have in store for us. I'm not a JW per se, but share the same "faith" and am quite sure that if there's any "real christians" out in the world today, in their ranks you'll find the highest concentration of true followers of Christ.. ;) |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 801546 I've always been fascinated by "Unlikely Allies". You know, in times of war or crisis or conflict, those who band together under an umbrella to work together. Often times the ones who you EXPECT to be allies can flip at the last moment, and those who you considered unlikely, or neutral, or sometimes even opposites can unite under the same stresses. they say during war, communities are closer and friendlier than ever! |

Thru Jesus we are Forgivin. Its a FREE Gift---Take it... This is so true. But people who believe a certain way tend to congregate together. And according to the Bible they are suppose to meet together. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.Hebrews 10:25 |

They, along with the Mormon's, SDA's, and many charismatic groups spew false doctrines to deceive the hearts of the simple. Of course the MOTHER of all cults is the Roman Catholic system. ALL of these groups teach works are necessary for salvation and that a believer can lose his salvation. None of them believes that Jesus Christ's perfect life and perfect sacrifice on the cross is all that is necessary to secure eternal life for any sinner who will receive it by grace alone through faith alone. It's all just Cainite, Babylonian, satanic, religious trash.

kentoni1 User ID: 28497517 United States 12/04/2012 02:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A bit of history on the Jehovah's Witnesses: CT Russell was a Freemason and is buried with a pyramid on his grave. He believed the end times began in the late 1800's with Christ's invisible return. This was calculated by the measurements of the pyramid (numerology)(The Finished Mystery, published by the WBTS) and that world war II was armageddon. He believed all Jehovah's Witnesses would be resurrected in 1918 but died before 1918. His wife divorced him for cheating on him with their young boarder. This is public record. The alcoholic lawyer, Rutherford, took over, and turned the organization into a printing empire. He is responsible for the many First amendment court cases they won as well as pushing the no blood policy after WWII. He and other members of the governing body were self appointed anointed channels of the Holy Spirit solely responsible for directing the flock who cannot receive the Holy Spirit, take the Lord's Supper or have a Heavenly hope as they are not worthy. So what of this great crowd? If they are faithful to the Organization, get baptized, go door to door, bring others to the truth, attend meetings, live a clean life, please the elders, they may be resurrected on Paradise Earth, that is after all non-Witnesses are slaughtered by God on His day of reckoning. Where does Christ fit in? He is God's son, a great teacher, a created being, who was first Michael the archangel. They are not Christian, by definition, just a NWO cult. |

They would even martyr themselves before going to war and murdering others. And they have.

He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. If more people would follow this we would not have war. |

It is best when someone tells you about a religion(especially someone who doesn't like them) to do your own research and talk to those who are actually involved as well. And anyone who believes God's son Jesus Christ died for our sins is a Christian. And since they believe this that makes them Christians. |

Jesus said they should all be teachers but of course they couldn't teach something they haven't been taught. Too many times church becomes a social club so you end up with people who are ignorant of their beliefs or who could really care less what they believe. |
