I don't know. I have met Pentecostals I like and Pentecostals I don't like, just like with other Christian churches. I have heard people ridicule them as "holy rollers" so maybe they are afraid because all of the movements.

Jehovah Witness is in fact a cult. Several ex followers have spoke out about them and there is a ton of anti sites and articles on them. \n\n I personally don't have any respect for cults period.

They annoy me. That is why I won't hang out with Christians.

Yes I do believe that JWs have the "Truth" and that's why I decided to dedicate my life to Jeohvah. The Bible says the following of those who would be true Christians. "If the world hates YOU, YOU know that it has hated me before it hated YOU. If YOU were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because YOU are no part of the world, but I have chosen YOU out of the world, on this account THE WORLD HATES YOU." (John 15:17) 1 Peter 4:4 say these words, "because YOU do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of YOU."  And both scriptures prove to be true in regards to JWs.  I read comments on here that people have posted and they criticize us and trash us about things that aren't even true.  Or then we are criticized for following Bible commands.  Now what sense does that make?  The only fact that some have is that we go door to door.  But then you have people that of course make up things about that also.  And so ones continue to be puzzled about us without taking time to learn what is true.  And then there are the ones who may have some accurate knowledge, but since JWs DO NOT break or bend Bible principals to fit someone's individual lifestyle then they're mad and they then want to speak abusively of us.  And Oh, my, there are the one who study and study up on us just to find any little mistake.  And if they find one or what they believe to be one because maybe they don't understand then they want to bash us.  We have never said that we were perfect, but the same people who say we DON'T have the "TRUTH" they expect us to be perfect.  But regardless to what ones may say, think, or do. We continue to serve Jehovah with our whole heart, soul and mind.  We continue to worship him with spirit and truth.  We continue to preach the good news of the Kingdom.  We contiue to help ones come to an accurate knowledge of the truth.  We continue to hold our integerity and remain steadfast. We follow Jesus' commands and his wonderful examples.  And so YES I know with all my heart and everything in me that Jehovah's Witnesses indeed have the TRUTH!

Some of the answers being given in here are truly amazing......because of the incredibly ignorant prejudice people have and their utterly idiotic reasons they give. \n\nLet's look at what reasons people are giving, and what the facts actually are: \n\n1) They think Jesus is gonna comeback and just chilaxilate in this huge mansion they built for him in California\n\nTHE TRUTH IS: That very idea is ridiculous. Jehovah's Witnesses have never preached anything even remotely close to this. \n\n2) i don't like any religious faction that 'forces' their belief system.\n\nTHE TRUTH IS: Jehovah's Witnesses don't force anything on anyone. They come around to share positive Biblical thoughts with individuals and if someone doesn't care to hear it, they respect those wishes and leave. Nobody is forced into anything. \n\n3) It's not that they knock on my door, IT'S THAT THEY DO IT AT 7AM ON A SATURDAY!!!! \n\nTHE TRUTH IS: Jehovah's Witnesses DO NOT and WILL NOT go in their house-to-house work that early in the morning. They just don't. They have more respect for people than to go that early when they're most likely still asleep. If someone came to your door at that time, it wasn't a Jehovah's Witness.\n\n4) They don't properly research their material -- they don't know their own Bible, especially the Old Testament. \n\nTHE TRUTH IS: A tremendous amount of time and effort has been and is spent in researching the Bible. We don't have our "own" Bible, in fact, we're more than happy to discuss any Bible translation with people because for the most part, the same upbuilding thoughts and hopes are present in them as well. And if you actually speak to Jehovah's Witnesses, you'll find that they know the bible VERY well. \n\n5) Told me God would punish me because I let the ER give me a blood transfusion to save my life.\n\nTHE TRUTH IS: NO Jehovah's Witness would ever tell anyone such a thing. All they would do is share the Bible's viewpoint on the matter of blood. \n\n6) Them assuming that I want them to come to my door and tell me what I should and shouldn't believe.\n\nTHE TRUTH IS: They do no such thing. They share positive and encouraging thoughts from the Bible if someone is interested, and if not, they politely leave and move on. \n\n7) they keep comming to my house to sell me stuff i do not believe in or want \n\nTHE TRUTH IS: Jehovah's Witnesses do not SELL anything. \n\n8) they keep pushing their views. I mean, come on. How many No's does it take for them to just go away? Stop soliciting your religion. Even Christians aren't THAT pushy. \n\nTHE TRUTH IS: (1) They keep coming back because sometimes people's circumstances change. When a person isn't interested one day, they may very well be on another. (2) Jehovah's Witnesses ARE christians. True Christians would follow the command that Jesus laid upon them do to exactly the work that Jehovah's Witnesses are doing. \n\n9) twisting the Scriptures/demeaning Christianity\n\nTHE TRUTH IS: They do NEITHER of those things. Rather, by their adherence to Bible teachings, they expose those religions that do twist the scriptures and demean Christianity. \n\n10) only 1 thing ever botherd me about them and that is when one told me i was going to hell because i participate in the tradition of halloween I really didn't appreciate that \n\nTHE TRUTH IS: NO Jehovah's Witness would ever have told you that because the Bible doesn't teach that there is a fiery burning hell like false religion teaches. \n\n11) they think like only 40,000 ppl will b saved then they like take a whole bunch of kids and lock them in rooms by themselves and make them just like sit there and read \nday after day\nthey like dont get out ever....\n\nTHE TRUTH IS: That statement simply doesn't make any sense. The scriptures teach that 144,000 will be granted heavenly life. As far as the l

Don't listen to these people, besides eating & drinking, the next thing is negative answers, which most of them just sit and wait for a ??? like yours.\n\nAsk them "how many became members of your religious organization?" last year.\n\nLast year 2005, 247,631, became Jehovah's Witnesses and everyone of these had to change their minds pertaining to the false teachings that they had been taught, these were people that used their own Bible, King James, etc., 28,384 were from the United States. \n\nAsk them "how many buildings to worship in did you build last year?\n\nDuring the service year, 2,340 Kingdom Halls were completed around the world. This represents an average of 195 halls per month, or just over 6 per day! Since November 1999 when the construction program in lands with limited resources began, 7,730 Kingdom Halls have been built. In many areas, once a hall is finished, meeting attendance soars and halls are soon filled to capacity.\n\nBy the way "lightblue 100" most of what he says is "untrue" "lie" this person just hates Jehovah's Witnesses, which he has a right to do so, or he is one of many "disfellowshipped" who have nothing better to do, but  to talk in a negative way and why? \n\nSome of the offenses that could merit disfellowshipping from the Christian congregation are fornication, adultery, homosexuality, greed, extortion, thievery, lying, drunkenness, reviling, spiritism, murder, idolatry, apostasy, and the causing of divisions in the congregation.\n\nBelieve me, the best thing to happen in your lifetime is this:  Become a Jehovah's Witness and have a future, which they do not, remember what King David said in chapter 37 of Psalms\n\n9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off,\nBut those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.\n\n11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,\nAnd they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.\n\n22 For those being blessed by him will themselves possess the earth,\nBut those upon whom evil is called by him will be cut off.\n\n29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,\nAnd they will reside forever upon it.\n\n34 Hope in Jehovah and keep his way,\nAnd he will exalt you to take possession of the earth.\nWhen the wicked ones are cut off, you will see [it].\n\n40 And Jehovah will help them and provide them with escape.\nHe will provide them with escape from wicked people and save them,\nBecause they have taken refuge in him.

Because they have been taught by people they trust (the Watchtower organization) that Jesus is not God.\n\nFor more discussion of the Jehovah's Witnesses, see\nhttp://www.godsci.org/gs/sect/jw/jw.html\n\nand\n\nhttp://www.godsci.org/gs/sect/jw/jw00.html\n\nCordially,\nJohn

why would i want to change anyone's mind? if i were a jehovah's witness, then it would be part of my spiritual job, wouldn't it? you sound like you're venting and maybe you're angry--perhaps you should check it out and see what's bothering you about this forum. Peace

Hate begets Hate.\n\nSadly most zealots, regardless of which religion, can't understand how foolish and small they really are.

Contrary to the ignorant comments of others, Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT a cult. Those saying otherwise speak either out of plain ignorance or fear, or perhaps a combination of both. Jehovah's Witnesses base their faith solely on God's word the Bible. They don't follow the creeds and doctrines of men that dishonor God and pervert the clear teachings of the Bible, i.e. the teaching of the trinity, the teaching of a burning hellfire, the teaching of the immortality of the soul, and so forth. They preach from door to door in obedience to the command given by their leader, Jesus Christ, as stated in Matthew 28:19 - "Go, therefore, and make disciples of people fo all the nations...." \n\nJehovah's Witnesses spend over a billion hours each year worldwide teaching people the precious, life-saving truths from the Bible. They will use ANY Bible to show what God's word clearly states on a number of different topics. Their service is one motivated by (1) love for God and (2) love for neighbor. \n\nBible prophecy clearly shows that the problems common to mankind today are soon to be removed....permanently. Jehovah's Witnesses are active and zealous in sharing Bible truth with those searching for God and for a meaningful life in serving Him as he wants to be served. They study the Bible with people at no charge and would be more than happy to share the Bible's teachings with you. You can then decide for yourself whether you feel they have the truth or not. \n\nYou'll find that people who disagree with the Witness lifestyle are those who prefer to live their lives according to their own warped sense of direction and morality, rather than adhere to God's laws and moral standards as set in the Bible. To them, people who live by the Bible are "brainwashed". People who try and make light of their stand against celebrating birthdays or their non-acceptance of blood only speak out of a great deal of ignorance, and their reluctance to get their wrong view corrected just leaves them as bitter and ridiculous. \n\nIf you want to know how "right" they are, just take a few minutes to talk with them the next time they knock on your door. Have a discussion to let them know where you're coming from and where they base their beliefs. Ignore the comments of others in here who have no agenda but to dissuade you.

Least favorite: the fogals (pastor and family) they are jerks and I'm SO upset they are representing Christianity to the world.\n\nMost: maybe the Wild Hanlons just because they are so dumb it's funny. I loved when the one guy kept slowing his team down by looking at every piece of bark on the ground...

I don't like that former desert demon who became the god of the Old Testament either.\nIf they had had any sense the Christians would have discarded it along with circumcision and other silly commandments, but since nearly all their teachings go back to Saul/Paul of Tarsus they didn't.\n\nI would not mind, but their insistence that everybody should live their lives according to THeir rules makes it hard to ignore, especially if you have to live among them.\n\nAll the present-day atrocities committed by Israel are actually condoned in their holy book, but if a member of their gouvernment tells us that they are "one of us" I'm certain that his are not values I would like to share, even though so many US Christians, including the president, agree with him. \n\nTo live today by an early iron-age text is just not on, and I think people who expect you to are insane, especially if they don't really practice it themselves. Nevertheless, I'm certain some of them would like to, they are as full of hatred as their god.

I think you mean "hated"... This is my opinion.  It comes down to who's God is the real God.  God is Jehovah-Yeshua.  Allah is not God and all the world will soon have no doubt of this.\nMaybe I should explain further.  Israel is the focus of the Arab world's hate and America is the only supporter left of Israel so they hate us too. Why do they hate Israel?  Look how tiny it is compared to the Arab world.  Why so much hate?  It goes back thousands of years to Abraham and his two sons, Isaac and Ishmael.  According to the Torah and the Old Testament, Isaac is the rightful son and Ishmael was the older and illegitimate son.  The Muslims believe otherwise.  They even claim is was Ishmael Abraham was asked by God to sacrifice and not Isaac as Jews and Christians believe.  At this point in history the two nations began to separate: the descendants of Isaac: the Jews and the grafted in Gentiles (Christians), and the descendants of Ishmael: the Arab nations.  There has been a hatred between the two ever since.  It is a supernatural hatred and was prophesied by the Bible and Torah.  The descendants of Ishmael changed the God of Abraham, Jehovah, into what they call Allah, something very different.  The "politically correct" have of late tried to claim that Jehovah and Allah are the same God, by going back to Abraham, but while it was true up until Abraham, today nothing could be further from the Truth. <><
