Jehovah's Witnesses are members of an international religious organization who believe themselves to be the restoration of first-century Christianity. Founded in the 1870s by Charles Taze Russell under the name Bible Students, they underwent numerous schisms and later adopted the name Jehovah's Witnesses in 1931 under Joseph Franklin Rutherford. Official membership now stands at over 6 million. They are known for their extensive preaching, evangelistic, and publishing activities, with The Watchtower and Awake! religious magazines being their most widely known publications. Headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, they are directed by a Governing Body.\n\nJehovah's Witnesses are generally socially conservative. Being politically neutral, they have been persecuted by various governments, notably by the Nazi government, with many sent to concentration camps. They have been instrumental in establishing religious freedoms in various countries. Their unique stand on refusing blood transfusions has also garnered publicity and controversy.\n\nSince their foundation, they have been concerned with the second advent of Jesus. Initially holding many similar views of other 19th century Advent groups, such as the Millerites, they have since developed their own unique eschatology.

Well with my luck I am guessing it's a Jehovah's Witness come to read me his testimony.  \n\nIf not that it's someone trying to sell me something.  Not something cool like girlscout cookies.  They are usally trying to sell magazine subscriptions or they want me to buy one of those satalite dishes. I really, like those Samoas.  I buy them by the case full.  I will even go from Shopping center to Shopping center and try to buy all the Samoas up.  I'd even sell all my shares in Intel for those Girlscout cookies.  In fact I am going to goto the bank tomorrow and take out a second mortgage so I can buy more Samoas.  They are so damn addictive.  I probably need to join the Samoa 12 step program or something.  \n\nWell anwyay this is why I don't answer my door and really, really despise knock, knock jokes.

A Jehovah's Witness who uses Yahoo Answers is sitting in front of a computer.\n\nPersonal fellowship has an important role in true worship, but the internet is certainly *NOT* the place for true Christians to find good association.\n\n(Hebrews 10:24,25) And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20000608/diagram_02.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20050922/article_01.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20041208a/article_01.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20050522a/article_01.htm

Hi munstermunch,\nI met the Trevor once, a few weekends ago. I was walking to the corner market for a loaf of bread when I had to pass by a neighborhood church. I was somewhat acquainted with the structure as it was always mentioned in the newspaper's community section. Known as "The loft," folks would gather there on Thursday evenings for poetry readings.\nHowever, this day happened to be a Saturday afternoon and a pair of gentlemen greeted me as I walked by. They invited me inside to sample an hour of their presentation. Ok, I went inside and found myself to be a prospective new recruit for their brand of religion.\n\nMost of the pews were filled with hooded monks chanting a haunting rhythm. There were others who like me, were wearing their regular denims. The service began like most others that church-goers would be familiar with. A grand master of ceremonies led the group through some songs and gave a sermon. Near the end of the hour it was time for their ritual of "laying on of the hands." Some of the parishioners would come forward and ask for prayers for their ailments or for a sick grand mum who fell down in the tub. All the hooded dudes whose faces could not readily be seen would all place a hand on the person and their combined energies were presumed to have a strength and expedite a solution to the problem.\n\nOK now, there was another new guy in the pews who was watching eagerly. I recognized Trevor from a wanted poster viewed earlier at the post office. When he saw a chance, he approached the ring of conspirators and described how he was always moving around and never able to settle down. The hooded goons closed in upon him, all to make a physical connection. The master of ceremonies began a prayer, a dogmatic mix of logic and pure hocus-pocus. I immediately saw the effects of the procedure as the tension went out of Trevor's body. When the beseeching was near an end, the master asked, "Are the brothers ready?"\n\nA suspenseful few moments passed until he almost shouted, "NOW!"\n\nOn that cue, the brothers began to pummel their hapless victim. Continually delivering blows over head and to the solar plexus until Trevor was down on the floor getting stomped. After another minute, the grand Pooh-Bah decided the treatment administered was sufficient to induce a relaxing calm that would assuage the nervousness of Trevor for a long, long time.\n\nI can't say for certain if Trevor got the comeuppance he deserved as I had a loaf of bread to buy and some other errands to do that day. I hope for you munstermunch, that you do find a sense of closure to this difficult episode of life.\n\n-Mason

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

Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult.\n\nThey are told to avoid contact with non believers (even family)\n\nRe-wrote the Bible to reflect their teachings\n\nConstantly re-write their teachings and beliefs in their own publications.  Some of their old publications TOTALLY contradict what they teach now !  \n\nThey have predicted (wrongly) the end of the world on several dates.  (1914, 1975, etc.)\n\nThey forbid their members from reading, watching, listening to anything that may contradict their current beliefs and even tell them not to speak to former friends and relative who have left the church, even if they have not been accused of any wrongdoing...they just left the JW's thats it.\n\nThey believe that they are the only true religion and that their loving god will kill everyone who is not a JW at some point in the near future.  Women, children, even those that never heard of the JW's...dead.\n\nThey also fail to properly report accused pedophiles within their organization to Law Enforcement authorities because it may "bring reproach on jehovah's name".\n\nI was a JW for 20+ years and even though I was never accused of wrongdoing and never disfellowshipped by the organization...I am shunned simply because I left the church.  As a former member....they are a cult and I am happy to have escaped.
