They did worse to Jesus Christ and his deciples. As to calling them hypocrites just for the behaviour of the few you know.... Are you being fair.

They are the only religious organisation in the world who takes the command of Jesus Christ that we should preach the gospel allover the world seriously.

Don't judge them based on what you've heard about them or what you seem to perceive. Listen to them and if what they say isn't founded in the scriptures, they won't force you.

One thing is certain, no matter how bad you treat them..... They will always come back.

First of all, what would Jesus do?

Since we all strive to be like Him, our answers should reflect He that's in us.

They don't pray? Does that even make any sense to you? Have you sat down to think that why would people calling themselves Christians won't pray? Is that ever possible. We are not praying for show. Prayer is not a joke. And we don't abuse it like the world does.

Christianity is as divided as Nigeria.

Nonsense.

I share the word of God with them.

Not so.

When I'm disposed, listen to them.

If I mind, I might turn their attention to their need of freedom from sin.

Jws don't believe in righteous living.

And they can never attain righteousness
Because they deny that Jesus blood avails for the sinner even at this moment.
Re: What Is Your Reaction When Jehovah Witnesses Knock On Your Door? by Handsomecole(m): 1:28pm On Jun 05, 2016
The problem with JW's is that they want to impart their own understanding of the bible without listening to yours. They believe theirs is the best. They expect you to hear their own and attend even their programs. Yet they wil never attend your own church program if you invite them. As a Catholic im ready to listen to them, what I do is to bring out my rosary for us to pray a decade before I listen to their own and if they say "NO", I also tell them "NO". case close. Respect my belief and I will respect yours. The word of God is to be shared. You tell me yours and I will tel my mine. So we can both learn from each other.

It's important that you don't accept them.

But be frank.

In so doing, don't tell a lie.

Wow! It's just to tell the world that you don't even know whom Jesus is. Because even Jesus himself has never called himself God.

Fine.

But rosary is not 'the word of God'.

It's not in the Bible.

It shouldn't be a necessity for sharing to take place

How are they hypocrites?




They are a good example of what Christianity is about.
The go around preaching the gospel to all nations.

They assure you that hard times will come and encourage to stand strong in faith unlike today's prosperity preachers.

They teach love.

They teach you to work hard instead depending on inexplicable miracles.

You hardly hear that a member of them molest an under aged kid.

They are united.

They make out time for the poor and needy.

They are not greedy.

What else is Christianity about?

I am not a witness but I study bible with 10s of them and they treat and respect me like a family.

Unlike what's obtainable in other religious organizations that see members of other denominations as unbelievers.a.

lies....

Yes they are hypocrite, truly they are.
Many years ago while doing my internship in a financial institution, I was close to one of them. I went with a church flier which was given to me by someone who's not a member of my church to d office, while we were discussing, I gave him one of d fliers and I noticed his countenance changed immediately . He rejected it, I still persisted jokingly that he takes it, he got so angry and almost acted a Jim iyke nollywood scene such that I had to leave the scene.
They are hypocrite, they don't want u to preach to them because they believe the know it all.
They are hypocrite because they say Satan rules the world, yet the apply for jobs to work for same Satan.
They are hypocrite, u will never hear them sing the National anthem nor the pledge neither do they participate in political discuss, but if the money from politics is given to them, the happily collect.

Those guys are bunch of hypocrite
God will so bless you. you have really taken a keen look at them. I cant start saying all I all observe about them here. I just say NO whenever they knock my door. such hypocrites, gosh!

I've never seen a people so unfortunate as the Jws, so deprived of the truth via the New World Translation.

How can they escape the captivity of sin and the eternal fire?

They're so endangered as a devout Muslim with a Quran.
Who denies that Jesus died and so cuts himself off from the only cleansing flood?

How can they set their foot on God's spotless golden streets?

Approved of the devil as the pope of Rome and his children who pad their religion with non-Bible-backed observances;
So are Jws,

How can these escape to share in the plagues Jehovah adds to those who add to His words?

These shall all go to the place of everlasting torment.

And Pentecostals too who know so much Bible truths and glory in Christ's saving power but never humble themselves to obey God,

These shall be denied by Jesus our Lord
For they omitted the weightier matter of our faith,
'seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness..'
Re: What Is Your Reaction When Jehovah Witnesses Knock On Your Door? by Bianda24: 1:48pm On Jun 05, 2016
I dont have any fuss with them. Infact, i give them audience. They are fun to be with. They are bible students, give them a chance, u never can estimate how knowledgeable they are in the bible. I am not a witness but i like them.

I'm currently studying with jws, and I've been blessed by some of their word impartation. but I still doubt their own gospel. imagine,they say; Jesus is a god i.e arch Angel Michael. all other religions will be annihilated apart from jws. a class of people are meant to go to heaven. another group will stay on earth. they are the only true Christians. etc. I love them all, plenty of my friends are witnesses. even though Christians have different opinions and views about the bible it doesn't mean we are apostates as they call us. peace.

Good people.

The only problem i have with my JW mates is their "NO" stance to politics and segregation, and how can I be hardcore Biafran when my brother becus he is JW doesnt like to do Biafra hardcore type, he likes Biafra, but would not want to discuss it, cus it encourages segregation, and deep political sentiments.

They practice what they preach and u cant live a dirty lifestyle and still be among them, cus even the admonitions would make u think twice.

Unrepentant sinners, off they expel them. No collections, no money, no prosperity this or that, meek and down to earth kind people.

they actually do love people, and all over the world they preach and do same thing.

I know all these cus my brother is an elder in their organization, and he is the best friend I have, I always go to their conventions.....


But my Biafra can't make me a member now, maybe until Biafra comes.
