Gods word teaches to bring your children up learning about God--Children have 0 clue--they ride on their parents backs--they have 0 choice. Being no part of the world may be a torture but Jesus said to be his follower one must do that. He also said they would be hated for it. and ones own family members would be their enemies as well--you must have missed all of this truth--if you listened to Jesus you would already know it--he taught-- man does not live by bread alone, but by every utterance from God( OT AND NT)--his real teachers--teach every utterance--you missed out somewhere along the line--because you do not know Gods utterances. The JW teachers teach us every utterance, over and over, because they listened to Jesus.

Seems a pretty classic brainwashing technique.

Right, listening to Jesus again and again is brain washing.

Most let their brain stay dirty and listen to something else.

All religions seem to think they have all the answers. The only thing I can say about Jehovah witness is that you can't even discuss religion with them. They cornered me outside one day when I was washing my car. We politely discussed religion. That wasn't enough apparently because they came back the following day with 6 people. I didn't answer the door because I didn't invite them over for further discussion. I don't want to be converted or ganged up on because I have a differing opinion.
They just can't seem to understand just because I talk to you doesn't mean I'm ready for conversion or brainwashing. I learned my lesson......

You know it amazes me.. I was once a Jehovah Witness I was back 8 years ago. And you know what this is the exact dam stupid crap that I hated, you know kjw47 you talk like your all high and mighty and that you guys have it all, let me tell you this how are you any different than the people "prosecuting" you? You say it as if the world is just a hell hole and everyones life in means nothing to god, let me tell you something pal! God is going to judge you as well, dont think just because your in your stupid position or wtv the hell you are, makes you think god will make you "pass" hes gonna judge you just like everyone else if they have a good heart. You say there is racism going on in the world your teachings talk about it, let me tell you, how are you any different, you guys are just as prejudice to us as people are to blacks. Wanna piece of advice for your people, STOP JUDGING OTHERS IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE JUDGED!

NUFF SAID AND I REST MY CASE.

A couple of years ago, two of the women used to show up at my door at least once a week. Made me glad I reached the point of no longer allowing individuals into my place unless I actually want to. The older woman noticed a sticker on my door that says "Proud parent of a soldier," and started asking questions. When she remarked it wouldn't be a big deal if my child gets killed in Afghanistan 'because there's always heaven,' it's lucky I have control over my temper or she would no longer have teeth.
When she added that if I disagreed with anything she said she could point it out in the Bible, I stepped back inside and shut the door in her face.

It wasn't til after that experience I recalled a JW family I slightly knew when I was a kid. The kids were invited to a barbecue at my brother's house, and when someone asked where the one child was they were told "he didn't feel like coming- his father broke his arm." More recently I've learned the JW's have quite a reputation for child abuse- kinda like fundamentalist christians.

So no, I want nothing to do with them.

I didn't see that post of yours. I don't judge--Gods word has already judged, I just shared what is written. Obviously you don't like Gods judgements. I studied with many religions--The JW teachers were the only ones I could find that teach Jesus' truths--the world hated his truths back then enough to fill their hearts with hatred to murder all of them eventually. because Jesus truths expose the wickedness of men. One can accept them and change their ways--or they will hate them. Here I am I didn't run. You weren't a JW-- you were a fake one.

Really, because it looks like to me.. That you guys think Jehovah will not judge you people as well, what makes you so sure all of your flock will be let in the paradise? I was a real JW more real than you ever would think, the difference was I was tired of being "Molded" as you guys call it, because what I did realize is Jehovah wants us to worship him in our own way just not doing bad things not this way. Let me tell you something, why are women being treated like they are meant nothing *YA THATS RIGHT IM SAYING IT OUT LOUD IN THE OPEN* You guys dont even make women give speaches because they were not in the right position in the bible, but last I checked Jesus even gave women a chance its you PEOPLE who made that up and brought up the women to feel its normal to be like that. Jehovah is right, its YOU PEOPLE that are wrong.

So dont ever call me a fake JW you hypocrite, may Jehovah have mercy on your soul
