Why do Jehovah's Witnesses continue to preach door to door and in other ways? And what do you think of them?

Then why does it say in Acts, after mentioning to abstain from blood, "good health to you" ? Aids, hepatitus, and every other virus under the sun can be caught from a tranfusion. Go ahead- do what pleases you, JW's will not stop you, that is your choice. As for me, no thanks, I would rather die faithful and be remembered in the resurrection- to life eternal on a paradise earth, God willing. Nice christian language by the AC above, btw....

It is a command to preach and ALL who call themselves Christians need to be doing this.

nothing like a religion that requires you to be an annoying prick.

Yeah....Jesus annoyed people too...........

I have never seen a kingdom hall locked and gated. Wtf are you talking about.

James 3:1 - Not many of YOU should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment

Eph. 2:8-10 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.


Eph 4:11 - And he gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelizers, some as shepherds and teachers,

They also don't go to war and murder people. They might not take blood but they certainly don't spill it in wars. They would die before they did that. Many have been in prison for years in other countries for their convictions. They understand the corruption that is in this world and their eyes are more wide open than most who make a religion of nationalism. They are true Christians because they do have love for people/neighbors. And they follow Jesus who said to love and pray for your enemies. Not search them out and murder them. Christians who go to war should be ashamed of themselves and especially the pastors and priests who condone it. They are sons of vipers and wolves in sheep's clothing.

"There is no command in the Scriptures against military service. It would be quite right to shoot, not to kill." Zion's Watch Tower 1898 Aug 1 p.231

"There could be nothing against our conscience in going into the army. Wherever we would go we could take the Lord with us, the Captain of our salvation, and wherever we would go we could find opportunities to serve him and his cause." Zion's Watch Tower 1903 Apr 15 p.120



"In accordance with the resolution of Congress of April 2nd, and with the proclamation of the president of the United States of May 11, it is suggested that the Lord's people everywhere make May 30th a day of prayer and supplication. ... As says the spirit through the Apostle Paul: "I exhort, therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour." (I Timothy 2:1-3) Let there be praise and thanks-giving to God for the promised glorious outcome of the war, the breaking of the shackles of autocracy, the freeing of the captives (Isaiah 61:1) and the making of the world safe for the common people--blessings all assured by the Word of God to the people of this country and of the whole world of mankind." Watchtower 1918 Jun 1 p.174

Romans 13:1-4
"The early Bible Students took this scripture to mean that if a Christian was drafted in wartime, he would be obligated to put on a uniform, shoulder a gun, and go to the front, to the trenches. It was felt that since a Christian could not kill a fellow human, he would be compelled to fire his gun into the air if worst came to worst." Watchtower 1995 May 15 pp.21-22


Ephesians 4:14
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

" And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come"- Matthew 24:14

My definition of a cult is someone or some church that wants to do your thinking for you.
Quite clear.

They give me a great reason to wear my birthday suit to the front door.

Jehovah's witnesses brag how righteous they are. How they are the only chosen ones.

God chooses whomever he wishes,even a homeless person,or a rock star.

From what I see they do witness on the internet like OP and DGN. They also do letter writing and calling people on telephones. Let's see, they also do what they call informal witnessing where they speak to people when they are out and about. There is also street witnessing in cities. Going door to door is only a part of their preaching work.

I love debating JW's.
When the first two arrive, they can't answer my bible questions.
Then when they go get a higher JW after several times at my house unable to answer my bible questions.
Then I get a elder who I get to talk to directly and I start speaking Hebrew to them and open up on them, I love the perplexity of their faces.

When I ask them for an example, How come you think you are the only chosen of God, when in the book of Rev. chapter 2 and 3 Christ found no fault with two of those 7 churches mentioned in those two chapters.
Duh? I get.. lol

Then I open up on them what the Word says and I love to watch their faces again.
Sorry, if you be JW, don't get upset with me.
Just telling it like it is.. or was what ever the way you want to look at it.

My brother had them at his house about a month ago. They were there every Wed. for two months.
My brother invited me to one of their chats, because my brother did not know the Word as well as I do.
They did not like me much because when they presented their paper work they brought with them from the last meeting with my brother. I proved them wrong. They did not like that and the oldest elder got upset and started yelling.
When she relaxed from her emotional explosion I said, only Jesus sets the path to the Kingdom of God.
Arch angel Michael has no say so in that path.

No where in the gospels does the Son of God command christians to preach or teach... that is all Pauline mumbo jumbo, and judeo control...

Rock star...?

Doubtful.

Only a Jehovah's Witness can answer the first part of your question.

As for the second part, I never understood going "from house to house" when Jesus said not to.

I challenge ANY JW to a debate

"And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” Mt28:18

that they have to count each month. If you get a few hours,I have heard talks that called that token service.
