I thought I would crash this party anyways. I LIKE THEM. Even if I don't believe all. They harm no one just talk God to their neighborhoods. I wish many today would do helpful nice things instead of what is happing now. Gangs, drugs, racism, crime raising at unbelievable heights.

Your ignorance of JWs is showing.  Members of the Bride Class are not treated any different from anyone else. In fact, they are servants to everyone else.  Most have died off in the last ten years, so it is rare to even find one in a congregation anymore.  When I was young there would be 2-3 to a congregation.  No new ones have come forward, even those facing their last days of this life, such as my stepfather.\n\nIf you're going to come up with something completely asinine about JWs, you really should be your homework better.

Frank, if you can believe the Bible literally when it says that Jesus walked on water, raised people from the dead, and spoke the very universe into existence (John 1), then you should be able to believe that he literally stuck a grown man and a woman on planet earth to start the human species. \n\nThat's not to say I want you to become a Jehovah's Witness. You would do well to examine the Watch Tower organization thoroughly, including its history of failed prophecies. No man-made organization can pay the price you owe for your sin—only Jesus can. He alone is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).\n\nIf you are open to examining the creation vs. evolution debate from a non-Jehovah's Witness perspective, I would recommend checking out Answers in Genesis—an excellent ministry that combines the facts of observable science (not to be confused with unproven theories) with the facts of the Bible.

Jehovah's Witnesses have at least one point correct from the Bible: Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel to every creature (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15).  They are not the only ones to carry out this command, but they are one of the few groups to do this.\n\nMind you, I disagree with 99% of the rest of what they teach.\n\nPeople (including you, I suppose) might consider it harassment, because we have somehow reached the point as a society where we believe that it's wrong to tell somebody they're wrong.  Nobody I've run across in Yahoo Answers has THAT problem! :)

Jehovah's Witnesses both witness personally and bear witness to others regarding God's personal name, his majestic personality, and Kingdom purposes. In doing so, they align themselves with Jesus Christ and the prophets.\n\n(Isaiah 43:10) “You are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah\n\n(Isaiah 43:12) So you are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “and I am God.\n\n(Hebrews 12:1-2) Because we have so great a cloud of [Jehovah's] witnesses surrounding us, let us also put off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, as we look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus\n\n(Revelation 1:5) Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness”\n\n(Acts 5:38,39) Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, YOU will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, You may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/jt/\nhttp://jw-media.org/people/ministry.htm

I do, I am one. Yes we will be persecuted, mocked, and ridiculed, but can our opposers give us everlasting life? Can they promise us that we may see our dead loved ones again? Can they help us learn the TRUTH about the Bible? NO!!! They are humans just like us, their statements are very rude and insulting but who cares. Remember those who don't listen to our message are rejecting JEHOVAH, not us, so keep on persevering in your ministry.

There are many thousands of Jehovah's Witness individuals and families who live in Brooklyn and the rest of New York City; it is unlikely that all of them will soon "pull out" their families and their households.\n\nFor decades, Jehovah's Witnesses printed their literature, bound their books, packed their literature shipments, and loaded their trucks from their printery and warehouse complexes in Brooklyn, New York, USA. As recently as a few years ago, there were eleven different presses running there, and little room for expansion in that expensive metropolitan area.\n\nAs alternatives to expansion in Brooklyn were researched, it became clear that Jehovah's Witnesses could more economically expand their operations outside New York City. Land was less expensive, municipalities were more cooperative, utilities were less expensive, and there was little-to-no neighborhood objection to increased factory noise and truck traffic. At the same time, it was becoming clear that newer printing presses capable of fulfilling the increasing demand for Jehovah's Witness literature would require significantly higher ceiling heights than was available in any of the existing Brooklyn factory buildings.\n\nSince the 1970's, Jehovah's Witnesses had been printing their well-known magazines The Watchtower and Awake! at their printery in Wallkill, New York, about a ninety-minute drive from New York City. The decision was made to double the size of the existing Wallkill printery and move printery operations there from Brooklyn. The Wallkill complex covers more than 11 acres of floor space.\n\nIn conjunction with the new printery building, the acquisition of larger presses, and the geographic move to Wallkill, Jehovah's Witnesses designed and implemented one of the most sophisticated in-plant printing, binding, inventorying, packing, and shipping operations in the world at speeds and efficiencies impossible just a few years ago. The Wallkill facility offers free tours to the public from Monday through Friday.\n\nhttp://jw-media.org/region/americas/usa/english/releases/growth/usa_e030901.htm\nhttp://www.mullermartini.com/Desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-274/28_read-1914/\nhttp://www.jw-media.org/region/americas/usa/english/releases/events/usa_e030610.htm\nhttp://www.jw-media.org/region/americas/usa/english/releases/events/usa_e030529.htm\nhttp://jw-media.org/people/who.htm\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/e/jt/article_02.htm

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.

Wow! Talk about strange answers!!!!!\nBelow find a link to our website where you can learn a lot about us.\nIt is true that many condem us for our work for and with God.\nWe are followers of Christ/Jesus , Jehovah's son. We do as he requested us to do, educate people according to his father's teachings. We carry God's name, not his title 'God' is a title, as is Lord.\nIf you have an older King James Bible, you will find God's name at Psalms 83 verse 18.\nAlso you can find in Isahiah 43 verses 10 through 12 where he gave us his name to use.\nWe are the only religon that is authorized to carry God's name.

Simply put.....the ones doing such are working for their father, Satan. It's yet another means of persecution that Satan can bring upon Jehovah's people. Jesus himself stated that if he was persecuted, his true followers would be as well. \n\nLook at the facts and see if they merit some of the stupid comments being made about them: \n\n(1) They are known worldwide for being peaceable, respectful individuals who conscientiously pay their taxes and respect the laws of the land they live in. They also display true love for each other and for their neighbors. \n\n(2) They volunteer over a BILLION hours yearly in the worldwide Bible education work. This is in firm obedience to the command that Jesus Christ laid upon his true followers in Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28:19,20. And this work is being done in over 235 lands and nations worldwide. Their message? That the Bible holds out the wonderful hope of everlasting life here on earth to those who wish to have a relationship with God and know what he requires of them in order to really have that hope. This act of theirs reflects love for God, love for Jesus, and love for those they come to share the Bible's message with. \n\n(3) They do NOT teach such false, God-dishonoring doctrines such as the trinity, immortality of the soul, rapture, or a burning hellfire. They do NOT engage themselves in pagan, false religious holidays and ceremonies such as Christmas, Easter, birthday celebrations, and so forth. They base all of their beliefs and teachings SOLELY on God's word the Bible. And in their teaching, they are more than happy to use the King James Version (although it isn't the most accurate around) or the New World Translation which restores things that most other translations remove (such as God's personal name). \n\nSo look at those three points for a minute. They are peaceable, loving, and adhere firmly to the Bible as their source of their beliefs. Can any thinking person really believe such a group deserves the remarks that some around here are making? Come on.....\n\nPeople around here are making all sorts of utterly stupid comments when it comes to Jehovah's Witnesses. Some say we don't believe in Jesus.....that's completely untrue. Some say we come around to force our beliefs on others......again, that's completely untrue. And then some use the old, tired claim that we are a cult. That too, is completely untrue. A cult, by the more modern definition follows a man as its leader. Jehovah's Witnesses recognize that Christ Jesus is the true head of the congregation and so submit to him.

No human ever considered living in heaven until Jesus mentioned that yet-future possibility just hours before he was impaled.\n\nJehovah's Witnesses understand the Scriptures to teach that exactly 144,000 humans will join Christ Jesus as kings and priests to administer God's Kingdom (which will soon replace all earthly governments) after Armageddon.\n(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite\n(Revelation 14:1) Lamb [Jesus] standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand\n(Revelation 20:6) they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him\n\nOver whom will they rule? Over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.\n(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”\n(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.\n\nUntil that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.\n(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all\n(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]\n(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire\n\nAlmighty Jehovah God selects those few who have the heavenly calling from among godfearing worshippers, including many who were never Jehovah's Witnesses. Today, each true worshipper "feels" his own hope and each person's hope remains unquestioned by his fellow Christians. Still the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%*) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.\n(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]\n(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]\n\nInterestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.\n(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'\n(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'\n(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'\n(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'\n(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20001001/article_02.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/w/2003/11/15/article_02.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20031115/article_02.htm
