Have you ever wondered why Jehovah's Witnesses come knocking on your door?
.
During Jesus human existence, he told his followers to “make disciples of people of all the nations.” ( Matthew 28:19, 20) When he sent out his early disciples, Jesus directed them to go to the homes of the people. (Matthew 10:7, 11-13) After Jesus’ death, first-century Christians continued to spread their message both “publicly and from house to house.” ( Acts 5:42; 20:20) We follow the example of those early Christians and find that the door-to-door ministry is a good way to reach people.
.
Of course, I'm expecting a comment reminding us why we still have to come back even when we know we neither are invited nor loved. We understand and love makes us want to come back. Why? We want to see you live forever!
.
What if I don't like you guys?
What don't you like about us? I bet you don't know why you don't really like us. We've done nothing wrong. Probably, you don't like us because you discovered your friends or family don't like us. Is it what you always want to say to chase us away? We also understand. We come in both sun and rain because we love you. Before I became a Witness, I also shared your point of view till one person asked me why I really didn't like Jehovah's Witnesses. I really didn't like I really didn't have a good reason not to like them.
Why don't you be open-minded. In case you are thinking we charge for a discussion or we come to sell sth, be free, we conduct bible studies free of charge.
.
Do you know Jesus also preached anywhere he found people and his apostles went from house to house?
That got you. You are welcome.

.
A good question you should ask is what we preach.

You are free to ask civil questions.

I love jw but still don't like some of their doctrines

Not everyone likes Jesus teachings his Father taught him.
JWs don't force anybody to accept our Bible based teachings.
John 17:3,17. John 15:15 Jehovah taught Jesus the truth.
John 7:16, Matt24:14 Jehovah's servants will continue in Jesus footsteps.

the blood transfusion

the blood transfusion

What about it?

I love all humane being and I like exchanging with rational beings.
JWs are generally very humane beings... Nice and disciplined. But they are generally very dogmatic. When it comes to faith/religion, all their responses must come from the Bible even when it is absurd. Take this example.
I claimed in a Christian chat group that Salvation is for all... that Jesus was sent for the salvation of humanity and not only Christian believers. A JW refused my claim by quoting Romans 8:29-30 which supports that the chosen ones were predestined.
I told him a serious God can't predestine humans. It is a way of saying we can't give any meaning to our existence. All meaning has been given by God before our birth. In that case God didn't create us as free beings. We're mere robots for Him.
I told the fellow the idea of predestination creates inequality in humanity. We're all humans and if God loves humanity, He will want to save the entire humanity and not just some predestined number.
The JW surprisenly accepted my claims by supporting it with John 3:16...For God so love the world. The next minute he went back to Rm 8:29-30. I became frustrated discussing with him. In his attempt to back up his belief with a Biblical quotation, he became divided in himself. I have many experience like this with JWs. They blindly follow Biblical texts (I'm yet to meet a JW that humbly admits Biblical imperfections). For the sake of humanity God gave us Reason and Intelligence to follow Biblical texts.

even at the point of death,a jw will not donate blood to his or her partner

Zzor:

To many, it seems heartless. Of course, it should seem so because many people care about their lives than anything else. The Bible commands that we not ingest blood. So we should not accept whole blood or its primary components in any form, whether offered as food or as a transfusion.
.
Note the following scriptures:
* Genesis 9:4. God allowed Noah and his family to add animal flesh to their diet after the Flood but commanded them not to eat the blood. God told Noah: “Only flesh with its soul—its blood— you must not eat.” This command applies to all mankind from that time on because all are descendants of Noah.
.
* Leviticus 17:14. “You must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh, because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it will be cut off.” God viewed the soul, or life, as being in the blood and belonging to him. Although this law was given only to the nation of Israel, it shows how seriously God viewed the law against eating blood.
.
* Acts 15:20. “Abstain . . . from blood.” God gave Christians the same command that he had given to Noah. History shows that early Christians refused to consume whole blood or even to use it for medical reasons.
.
Why does God command us to abstain from blood?
There are sound medical reasons to avoid blood transfusions. Meanwhile there are other non-blood methods! More important, though, God commands that we abstain from blood because what it represents is sacred to him.— Leviticus 17:11; Colossians 1:20.
.
Ask yourself: should we because we want to save life disobey the giver of the same life? No. It's not called being cruel; it's called obedience.

hmm even at the detriment of someone's life,anyways I don't wish to argue about religion anymore,may God lead us all right

JWs refutation of blood transfusion is equally borne out of dogmatic grasp of Biblical texts. They place faith above reason.
Actually in life, reason goes before faith. Faith only comes in where reason is connered... where reason faces a limit. God didn't give us reason for fancy. Stop making Him feel He did a bad job in making us rational beings.
Peace.

We must put God first before our lives.

true pastor lol

Many dogmatic religions places God/Religion first. Believe me, it is Humanity first.
Here I'll borrow the Catholic church belief of Jesus... God made man.

The Catholic Church conceive God as comprising of three persons (whatever that means). But what I admire is their belief that God came on earth to save humans in the form of man (in the person of Jesus - the Second Person of the Trinity). With this doctrine, they affirm humanity. They tell man "God loves your nature".

If it should be "God First", God would have visited humanity in his godly nature and not as a human. But God Himself is telling humans "It is You first" by making Himself man.

Putting God first is making it look like He needs your approval of His existence. He doesn't need you approving His existence. He exists and IS what He Is irrespective of your approval. You should focus more on approving your own existence.

Save your damn lives and not God's commandments!!!

Jehovah God is the source of life (Psalm 36:9, Revelation 4:11) and he specifically told his people in the Bible not to consume blood (Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:11,12, Acts 15:28,29)

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that if they lose their lives for the sake of obeying Bible principles, they will be resurrected. See Matthew 16:25, John 5:28,29, Acts 24:15

I give up. �

The only advice I will give to you people with regards dealing with witnesses is that look a thousand and one times, before you leap. It is far easier to join, a little easier to remain. But to leave? Just look very very well before you leap. And before any witness decides to drag me, leave me to heal in peace. I have forgiven, I need space to forget. I know how many of your people I’m supposed to sue to court and make sure they learn avoid fraud. But they’ll pack people to your house to ask you to forgive. Beating you and telling you not to cry. My quarrel is not with Jehovah. But if I see witnesses and snake hmm. I’ll pick up the snake and run.
