Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Always Accuse You Of Being Wicked For Asking Critical Questions?
491718
People will defend whatever they believe in/stand for, it's natural once someone is inspired, or indoctrinated, by those teachings...When it comes to spreading the teachings, it's a person's lack of understanding that all teachings have the same root that makes them oppose others' views on life...

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.

I'm a Jehovah's Witness and I get the Mormons every year. They're very friendly and we always have a nice conversation. They tell me a little about their beliefs and I tell them a little about mine. Once in awhile they come at a bad time and that's okay. I just tell them love to chat but...

I think you kind of answered your own questions.\nThey're taking abuse because they are Christians

If I'm busy working, it annoys me - but only momentarily because I just tell them I'm don't believe in God so I'm not interested. If I'm not busy though, I actually quite welcome it, because I like talking to people with different world views from my own. I see it as a challenge to win someone over to my viewpoint. So when Jehovah's witnesses knock on my door, I suggest to them that religion is inherently authoritarian and actively discourages critical thinking so that it can operate to keep people docile in their subjection to stable power relations. \n\nThe problem is that I find the majority of religious people prefer psychologically to accept a reassuring dogma rather than engage in a critical debate and meet the implicit criticism of a dissenting viewpoint. But I like to think that at the least they will appreciate the fact that I took an interest in their ideas and shared my own with them. After all, they do mean well, they want to help me... and nobody likes to be met with indifference

Yeah you're right. The answers are pathetic. They pretend to know the things that they do not have any idea about. at least they should be polite and tolerant, sometimes they remind of the "christian" persecuters of the pioneers. haha :-) it's just funny why persecute us for our belief that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and Savior of the world? Why persecute Joseph Smith for him telling that He spoke to God and the Son? Does not God answer prayers? or call his prophets anymore? Have miracles ceased? Have revelations and visions ceased? not with our church!!! Faithful and charitable and tolerant some of today's so called Christians are :-) We believe in Christ. full stop!!!

Perhaps it is only "everyone" known to ignorant poor spellers who hate Jehovah's Witnesses. In any event, Jehovah's Witnesses do not live their lives or practice their worship to please humans but rather to serve their God Jehovah.\n\nInterestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:\n\n(John 15:19) 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.\n\n(Luke 6:22) “Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.\n\n(1 Peter 4:4) 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.\n\n(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.\n\nIt seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:\n\n(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”

i agree. I ask christians questions and they give me hateful remarks. Its as though they have no incentive to be nice because Jesus saved them from being respectful to other people.  and what about turn the other cheeck? when i was a christian i thought they were held to higher standards, i was dead wrong. I left because of the hypocracy and ignorance.

The fact that you would even make a statement speaks volumes about your intelligence. They are giving you their version, what they know to be true as taught to them. Have some respect. If not for their religion then at least for them as humans.

The more they hear about the Holy Word of God, the love of Jesus and the cleansing atoning blood available for their sins, the more their spirits are stirred up! It's not personal really! Satan has always hated truth but hopefully someone may be won to Christ when they have tried all this world has to offer and find no fulfilment, they may remember the truth and turn to Him! Thanks for giving me an easy question!

No.  I ask the questions to which I want to know the answer.  I ask them once.  My questions have nothing to do with my own faith/religion or lack thereof.  They mostly have to do with my ignorance of other religions.

They apparently CAN knock on EVERYONE's door all day long & annoy the crap outta ya!!!! LOL....\n\nThe reason why they can't do anything is because they are being dictated by their founder's script (no it is NOT the 'regular' Bible)--the JEHOVAH'S WITNESS' BIBLE...

mormons and jehovah's witnesses do it all the time. Occasionally others do it as well, but only as a last resort. generally its because the person has done somethingthat goes against the church's rules.

Its no different than the questions I get asked from day to day in my line of work. Some of the questions seem silly but many people are dead serious when they ask em.  People without God or a limited sense of God have these goofy ideas about him.  All you can do is answer em and hope like heck that they get an understanding.\nNow you do get some smart mouth fools just trying to get a rise, so they ask really dumb insincere questions.  When you get these you just gotta answer em as if they are real questions.

Usually people like the ones in question are of a slightly low IQ but have enough back ground to be insulting. They have a slight grasp of The Bible but are not wise enough to get its messages. Often they are people who hurt becasue they thought GOD was Santa and didnt get their way! PRAY FOR THEM-- dont get upset!

This is one of the problem with religion and the believers. First, most religions made sacrilegious to ask questions about the practices and tenets of their religion. You are told,'you will go to hell or to some horrible place like that'. In most cases, the leaders do not just know, so they put fear factors to restrain their adherents. Secondly, majority of people are contented to allow people to do their thinking for them, they are too lazy to ask or seek out answer for themselves. However, do not be deceived, the only truth is the truth and individual discover for himself by a laborious search, any other is conjectural and speculative. This  is the reason that there are so many interpretation to the teaching of some world religion. Seeking and knowing God  is a do it yourself project, maybe with a bit (less than 0.1%) assistance.

Thanks, I thought I was the only person here who thinks that the thumbs up and down nonsense on such questions is childish.\n\nI don't know if it's hypocritical in all cases - not every religion says that their followers should not judge others - but it's certainly jejune.
