Esdb3: They know their birthday, but don't celebrate it. Is anything wrong about that? Should such celebration be a religious matter?
They are selective in their choice of music and other forms of entertainment. That God is mentioned in a song is not enough reason for one to like it.
They don't judge any day of the week over the other. They can go to church and evangelism in any day of the week. This has nothing to do with Christmas or any pagan celebration. Days were not created by pagans, and do not belong to them.
Wrong! They may even believe in miracles than you do, for miracles happen daily.
Who is a Christian, one that professes to be one? Even among the witnesses, any that is not Christ-like, is worldly. Witnesses do not discriminate or prejudice.
Not all that Caesar demands belongs to Caesar.
No! They believe the moment you say 'amen', which must come once, signals the prayer has ended. However, all their prayers are also presented to God in Jesus name.
It's either man will be rewarded with eternal LIFE or eternal DEATH. See John 3:16 and ponder over it. You call Jesus' parable a clear scenario? So hell & heaven are within distance of communication? A finger can as well extend from heaven to hell with a drop of water on it? I keep cutting my cap for the witnesses. They know the import of this parable.
And also supported war in the Christian era? If yes, give a scriptural reference. When Christ disarmed peter he was disarming the entire would-be Christians. Read about Peter disarmament, meditate on it and share what you learn. Can you imagine Christians killing themselves in the name of war?
All true Christians have only one funder and leader - Christ. However, Charles was pivotal to emerging of present day witnesses, whose long line of faithful witness can be traced to Abel in the bible.
No matter your state or country of origin, they can form marriage alliance with you, provided it is in the lord.
Here you sound a bit unclear and ambiguous. Man, even animal can be described and worshiped as a God. Witnesses believe there is only one almighty God, Jesus' father. Are they wrong?
They believe few will be taken to the heaven, but will be kings ruling with Christ over the majority that will be on earth. This belief of their is in accord with various scriptures. See matt. 5:3 & 5. Will you only take what verse 3 says and reject 5? Please, can you explain 2 Peter 3:13 below: '13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. - KJV

Listen Jo, for this very reason in the near future JWs' will be targeted by the world powers or governments, many would refuse to pay their allegiance to any government on earth or any flag, and as a result JWs' would suffer horrendous oppression and persecution.

The anticipated coming of Christ or ressurection of the patriarchs in 1914,1919,1975 e.t.c were just speculations..Those who did anything to "prepare" for that did that at their own cost and risk. Even Jesus did not tell his disciples when the end would come(those speculations were a link to the world's end).He said that only the "Father",Jehovah God knew when the world would come.Even Jesus did not know.So if anyone carried a news of the world's end,it was a mis-speculation |

Esdb3: John 14 paints a word picture of two individuals - father and son. They have oneness of purpose, and are always in agreement with each other. One represents the other. Thus, seeing the son is the same as seeing his father, whom he perfectly represent. 1 Like |

hmmmm2015:. Let me talk on the so-called failed predictions. It is true that JWs had had some failed expectations. But is that enough to discredit them? Proverbs 4:18 says that the path of the righteous one gets brighter and brighter. Even Jesus' trained apostles had some failed expectations (Acts 1:6,7; 1Cor 13:9-12). The bible shows that God enables his servants to understand his purpose in a progressive manner.(Daniel 12:8,9; 1Pet. 1:10-12). The bible also shows that there would be great increase in knowledge in the time of the end( Daniel 12: 4). You would agree that increased knowledge often requires adjustments in one's thinking and JWs are willing and humble to make such adjustments, which includes the long realization of the fact that no one knows the hour this world will end. I think it would be unfair to discredit them for some mistaken expectations, because for one thing, they have helped millions of people to come to appreciate so many bible truths, which of course I think you know some. Discrediting them is just like discredting a respected and knowledgeable professor just because he makes one or two blunders which he accepts as his wrong. What about other things he's been doing? Food for thought, right? 3 Likes |

bettermike:From all you've written so far i can conclude that you are angry with them because you did something wrong and they chastise you. So you choose to be their opposer, but that will do you no good. The better thing for you is to correct your mistakes and do the needful. JW is the only religious organization that do not sell religion to you but will offer to help you learn about God free of charge. Love for God and our neighbour is the driving force begind our selfless servic. Being a Jehovah's witness is a journey and not a destination like other religiouw grp teach. It is also a privulege you can lose if you don't keep up with bible standard. So if you have be chastised, i encourage you to think back and do the needful. |

gidjah:Have you ever for once read and ponder carefully on Revelation 3:14 where Jesus himself said he is the beginning of the creation of God. What did you think he meant by that statement? Do you think he made mistake? If Jesus can say that about himself why do you people attribute what he himself did not claim to him? |

Their magazines are awesome, no doubt. I've lived with some of them and I have them as friends.They are wonderful set of people though. Let's be honest, they are biased in many ways. 1. They don't sing any other Christian songs even hymns and they expect you to sing their's. 2. They claim their magazines are free but when it's given to you, a donation is expected and if you decline you are given this evil look. I've seen instances where you won't be given any if you won't donate. 3. They have ridiculous rules. 4. They read the Bible out of context. 5. They claim to know the number of people that will inherit the earth. 1 Like |

jesussaves22: Funny Michael Jackson didn't leave. he was disfellowshipped on the account of this music videos which portrays belief in the occult and of humans transforming into demons and tormenting fellow humans. Such a belief is contrary to what the Bible preaches, cos even the Bible said, anyone practicing spiritism should not be found among God's people. Please get your facts right, for even Michael Jackson even added a disclaimer to his video Thriller, that he doesnt support occultism but how come you dont' support something, but spend millions of dollars to promote it via music video Please think well, sir Thank you |
