And what do you think of them? Its funny to walk by one of thier sancuaries and its surrounded by a fence and a locked gate as if they dont want someone knocking at the door. They are a cult and when a family member leaves the cult they discomunicate them and try to make thier life hell. Its the work of satan to break up families |

Your intentions have been revealed. |

A lot of high crimes areas have fences around them If they didn't want people knocking at their Kingdom Hall doors ....then they would not have "public meetings"- all their meetings are public (oh, and , by the way, they call their places of worship Kingdom Halls, not sanctuaries) |

I dont think they convert many that way, but if it helps them sleep at night then have fun at it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36947682 Having said that, I don't agree with all their doctrines, I believe the doctrine of the Trinity is essentially right. Probably the foremost scripture they use to confront evolution has been ...this: "For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable; 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God nor did they thank him, but they became empty-headed in their reasonings and their unintelligent heart became darkened. 22 Although asserting they were wise, they became foolish 23 and turned the glory of the incorruptible God into something like the image of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed creatures and creeping things."- Romans 1:20-24 |
