A large number Jehovah's witnesses (in person) have this secreted attributes of not letting or bringing to public, most of their beliefs (is it because of the impression majority have on them?). In my own view, I think the impression has nothing to do with the religion but particular persons in the religion (who overreact). Therefore, why blame religion over a person's action?

A life experience between a Witness and a guy he met on field ministry.
.

I actually one day noticed a Witness in the field service preaching to a guy. On the long run, he offered the guy a tract and Awake! then the guy also brought a brochure to offer to the witness and said 'if you take mine, I'll take yours.' The witness responded: 'sorry, I am not allowed to collect that from you but you may have mine.' The guy fired back 'why?' The witness responded 'because mine teaches about God's kingdom.' The guy was like 'mine teaches about Satan's kingdom, right?' (...)

You may be thinking sth, well this attitude by this Witness was unprofessional and ego-centric. The Witnesses are taught in the Theocractic Ministry school, accompanied with the Reasoning From The Scriptures reference booklet to - not only try to let people see their points while preaching, but also -- hear others view. Therefore, what do we call that witness above? Well, unprofessional. Some other things alike too happen, like when they invite you over to the Kingdom Halls and you invite them to a Church Crusade; some will be all rejection. Well, here are things you never knew:
.
1. They do not have their own bible. I get this all the time that their Bible is quite very distinct from others. How true is this? Well, let me surprise you, they only rewrote a modern-word version of still, the original bible manuscripts that every other bible translator wrote from. In the New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures, the name of God, Jehovah, is used more than in other bible translation who replaced it with 'Lord'.
.
2. They believe people will go to heaven. Yes, they do, they believe a small number will make heaven and the righteous rest, inherit the earth, the promised paradise.
.
3. They don't do birthdays and festive periods like Christmas, Halloween, Easter etc. Halloween apart which is somewhat demonic, they believe that the outcome of the people who celebrated birthdays in the Bible took bloodshed (Pharoah's birthday,John the Baptist head). And for Christmas, it's pagan; Jesus was not born on Christmas day, which is true.
.
4. They are not a cult group. Believe me when I tell you this, all their teachings are focused on the Bible. If a Witness made a misuse of the bible, it's imperfection and not because 'he is a Witness, that's what they do'.
.
5. A woman can not lead the flock. Yes, this is driven from the new testament where Paul etc., took on the congregation of God. A man is the head, so it is.
.
Some other things are clapping to praise songs, using their Kingdom melodies, etc. Truth is, before you judge, do some research, some things you judge are actually how it should be.

In your first point: they HAVE their own bible because they re-wrote it to suit them and their doctrine...

In your third point: Nobody said Jesus was born on 25th December. Rather christians chose that day to commemorate his birth....if they won't celebrate it, their choice

In summary, they are nice and generous people but they posses this 'holier than thou' attitude which they easily exhibit as they will never accept anything from you not even to PRAY together (as was the case with a classmate of mine) and wen they come on their house evangelism.

Also they don't accept giving of offerings in church or paying of tithe. They attribute it to contributing money for the church leaders

jehova witness are guilty of all you mentioned above. Try harder next time

well said, once had a witness DAT comes around for years, truth is,dis guys are so caring and accommodating. lots if misconceptions about dem..

It's funny to see you use the sin of one man to judge a religion, that means, every hooker in a night-club goes to a church, sure, all their church goers are hookers too.
I just told you the simple truth, you are left to choose among believing or otherwise.

They remain the most peaceful Christian denomination.

They do not pay tithes

They are the only Christian denomination yet to be commercialized.

They are my favourite.

Cons:

They do not recite the national anthem.

They do not participate in elections.

They do not accept blood transfusion.

Christians, read this before you try to fight one another:

There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
1 Corinthians 12:5 NIV

“Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.” “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us.
Mark 9:38‭-‬40 NIV

Wasn't the bible you read rewritten? Why was it not left in the original hebrew and Aramaic versions. Why do you have King James, Revised Standard etc versions of the bible?

ok

I heard they do not marry from other Churches ... Why is that ?

1)Re-writing a few words in the bible is same as having a personalized bible, so their bible is df cos of the words rewritten
2) the belief that sm ppl will get heaven while others earth sounds so carnal, like dividing paradise into high and low society
3) the birthday of Herod was mentioned in the bible due to its significance in christdom, not because is bad, and we know Christ wasn't born on Christmas
4) I know they are not cult group but they have cultists just like all other churches
5)a woman can't lead is just their personal doctrine, a man is a head of his family not head of everyone.
But all and all I think they are not different from other Christians, like we are all striving to make heaven

Knock knock knock

JW all the way.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESS IS A CULT!!

REPEAT X1000


You dont marry outside your church. you guys dont even have real friends outside your church.


And what is this nonsense that women can't lead the church? Misogyny?

Ndi Ama Jehovah lol


They like preaching to others but wont even give preachers from other church listening ear let alone listen to their preaching. Very bad habit if u ask me.

They not open to correction and believe their doctrine is peerfect.

Had a JW classmate that would sit down or do something else during prayers as if its not the same God you praying to.

Btw a Witness once told me they not Christians, that they are on their own.

I rather be a pagan than be a JW

Hushpuppi:

mimicking someone living a fake life, gucci ko,egusi ni

To me Jehovah's witness are among the few Christian sect performing true evangelism.

They are not Christians.

I love Jehovah witness . they're the best type of Christians out there,they are extremely kind and are not scammers like the conventional Christians.
mind you,I'm a muslim

JW is a cult that has so brainwashed their members.

How can you tell your congregation not to send their children to school.


How do u tell them not to take blood transfusion (my uncle died out ofnthos stupidity and now the family discovered the truth. They left the church and the other members stopped talking and associating with them becaise they have become sinners )


How do u tell them to no worm and make money bit when they work and make that unholy money you tell th to bring it and spend in church.


Read statistics and see the bearish way JW is going globally. Not talking about nigeria. Of coursebrhey will be the last to realise anything.

Jehovah's witnesses?

Nice people.

Hey, no blame me, I have a few in my family and friends circles. No probs as it is except my mom that wants me to become one too.

Someone like me? Before six months na dem go pursue me by themselves.

I already like me being irreligious jor, no need to complicate my life.

Just imagine someone like me starts preaching and all those smallie I don hold for "0ne c0rner" come see me or I go preach for their house

sinaj:
Ama Jehovah lol

you are not joor

@ chatinent Jehovah Witnesses are not allowed to be musicians but Will be among the first to download the latest Secular music in the town, yet they don't vote and don't sing national anthem, saying they only serve the living God

nawa o! thought most would be in church by now but more than 300people are viewing and I'm sure only few are muslims

The bible was rewritten by them, they changed some words and if I remember well one particular verse in KJV or more is missing

Oga abi na madam, 99% of JWs are guilty of most of the things you wrote there. The only thing that I don't like is that, you will give me your Awake and tract and I gladly accept it. Hold on, here's mine and then you say no, it is against our doctrine for me to collect it. That's all shades of wrong. Do unto others what you wish them do to you. Is that not also in their Holy Scriptures? On one occasion, some JWs refused to enter a bus which someone who invited them for a party made available for them. Guess why? Because it was a church bus that the was rented and so they said they can't enter a vehicle with Church written on it. They don't celebrate Christmas yet they accept Christmas bonuses in companies they work in. Make we dey do dey go oh. Na the Last day we go hear result for all these our funny doctrines and Christianity we dey form.
