I think Jehovah Witnesses hurt people, although the more simple-minded of them may not realize it.

I think they destroy families.

I think the men who run the organization are evil.

We are a cult because as a group there is an expectation that people will live up to the commitments they willingly chose to do when becoming a JW. We apparently disrespect the nations we live in because we choose to be neutral and avoid political conflict. As a group we strive to be law abiding, gainfully employed, avoid being tax cheaters, don't steal, kill etc in the nations that we reside in or are citizens of but apparently that doesn't matter because some people are more interested in displays of "good citizenship"rather than substance. Any one remember when Witnesses pulled their resources and proposed or supported legislation to take away people's attempts to secure rights for themselves or sought to ban Christmas displays or the Easter bunny or Halloween. We've had both religious and atheists individuals or organizations attempt to remove or ban or restrict activities, rights, or emblems they don't agree with.
Ever heard of paragraphs??

Words from a treacherous and desperate heart( Jer 17:9) looking through satans blinders( 2Cor 4:4) don't feel bad--99% chose that path. Its the 99% of families are being destroyed in reality.
False reasoning from within destroys families.
The wise JW teachers, like the Boreans, constantly make sure of all things and make correction if error is found--- on the otherside--the trinity scholars, know 100% they teach lies and like the Pharisees of Jesus day, outright refuse to make correction. And then their is troutdude trying to mislead as many as he can out of his false reasonings from within. Never should one being mislead and has no clue of what Jesus taught should ever try to speak of Gods things to others--they need to learn first.

It is also super sad that you think so little of everyone who is not part of your religion. We are all just self serving, money grubbing, bound for hell sinners to you. That, my friend, is why your religion is garbage.



I share what Jesus taught, and you stand in opposition--- take a good look--take off your blinders( 2Cor 4:4)


I never said all were those things--your false reasoning made it up. I know many with loving hearts--they are just mislead.


You wont even agree to a single truth posted just because I am a JW-- I have seen many like you--its very sad.

...and this is why religion, all religion, should be banned from the public arena folks.

I would not accept the invitation, I would say no family or not! Recently, I was eating lunch in a local hospital cafeteria a lady came to my table to give me literature, I told her to put on table. I was offended she had no manners. I was not going to touch her papers with my clean hands. I left the papers on the table, she was a bit pushy. I know a person who has recently joined JW she has not approached me on her religion. My friend did tell me on Saturdays when they knock on doors, people will not open doors. My reply, do you blame them? In this day and time I am not allowing STRANGERS in my home. I did not get an answer...

millions have asked God for that. Yet not one can explain what a 7 headed beast with 10 horns is, or what the two horned beast is of Rev 13. Only the real teachers lead by Jesus know the facts about Rev.

Why--because the world hates truth like you do? They murdered Jesus, apostles and followers back then, because truth exposes all. They hated the truth Jesus brought--as do the majority today. That is how Jesus knew over 1900 years ago that his followers would be hated.

No...because it produces people like you and pastor Gallaty.

When you have proven the existence of your Jesus, then you will be in a position to tell us what he said, did or didn't do.
