the elders have alot of power if one of those elders dont like you he can get your wife to break up with you . this is a fact common sense
sam said on Wednesday, Sep 8 at 1:01 PM
they tell you to trust brothers but they are men. that is why i wouldnt get married to those sisters in the kingdom hall
sam said on Wednesday, Sep 8 at 1:00 PM
i am a baptized publisher the brothers will be there for you but they will use you to get to your wife
sam said on Wednesday, Sep 8 at 12:58 PM
its crimes but they just keep it secret
sam said on Wednesday, Sep 8 at 12:51 PM
the elders tell you to put your trust in the people that is baptized not the ones thats unbaptized the ones that is baptized will take advantage of other witnesses.

Free labor,member donations pay expenses,tax free. For a sect that has been saying for well over a century, and especially in the last 30 or so years, that the world has a very limited, short - term future, this vigorous building by the Jehovah's Witnesses seems long term to me. Maybe they've cancelled Armageddon again?
Gerry said on Sunday, Dec 6 at 11:59 PM
JW Goons for God I am struck by the similarities, (especially the "gorilla marketing tactics") of Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientology; which, to me, appears to employ tactics that are utilized more in cults

Educator said on Sunday, Dec 6 at 1:12 AM
Blood transfusion to Jehovah Witness is like psychiatry to Scientologist HEMOPURE Reg;Bovine Cow blood derived HEMOPURE The Watchtower has approved the use of Hemopure (bovine hg g - 250/HBOC -201). This is directly in opposition to the Watchtowers abstaining from blood as taught by them. The followers of the Watchtower are taught one thing and the Watchtower practices another to release itself from responsibility so they publicly state the use of blood is a conscientious m
Jessica said on Saturday, Dec 5 at 8:38 AM
The problem with 'being raised Jehovah's Witness' is that they indoctrinate that they are the ONE and only true religion, Sure,of course most all religions say this but the Watchtower religion takes it to an extreme level with cult-like mind control and instilling phobias. If you don't do as they say and go by their many rules you feel that you are condemned. The JW defenders will deny all this but they are just shills for it.
Rosie said on Friday, Dec 4 at 6:18 AM
Patty Your weird. I'm not a JW or LDS and i know better than that.
Patty said on Thursday, Dec 3 at 11:57 PM
Jehovah's Witnesses say that Jesus had his second coming already 'invisibly' in the year 1914 and then Jesus waited 3 1/2 years to appoint them the Watchtower society rulers of his earthly kingdom in 1919. This is their hard history and they cannot change it anymore than the Mormons can change Joseph Smith golden plates Jesus came to America for them.
HoldOn said on Thursday, Dec 3 at 8:41 AM
Chrisitan elders within the congregations of JW's have a life. They are not out to get anyone. They have families, they work secularly to provide for their families,....they do not get paid to be elders. For the most part, they are compassionate men who are available to help others adhere to Bible standards. Individuals only disfellowship themselves for their practicing of sin and their raunchy attitudes of 'I don't care less.'
chris said on Thursday, Dec 3 at 8:09 AM
Who is Steve K? and why do you chose to attack him? You are a warped individual. You need to get a life. I don't think anyone looks bad but YOU. I appreciate kind nice people that care about other people. Besides these people, I see others here and there that CARE.

Dawson said on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 11:29 AM
if you really want to know the truth about Jehovah Witnesses then check out this website www.watchtower.org so you don't have to assume things anymore :)
for simon said on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 6:23 AM
who's the wolf? The Bible's instructions are clear regarding abstaining from blood. Isn't it interesting that it is not the medical field, but JW's that have always adhered to Bible standards the best they can. I wonder how many of the worlds population has died in WAR? Do you think God condones us killing one another needlessly? This is a sick world with sick people. We need good news, not bad. Do you have any?
craig said on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 6:12 AM
Grandmother: It's not Jehovah that's wicked. Certainly people are. Blasphemy/Apostates will be dealt with by the only true God. If JW's are wrong, you still may have something to worry about. The whole world is lying in the power of who? The wicked one! Satan, not Jehovah. Satan obviously has his sites on all of us, including Jehovah's Witnesses. Pray that he remembers your good deeds. He will not be late.
david said on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 6:01 AM
Simon is dead wrong. the general population is smarter than this. Jw's have fought for everyone's civil rights. supreme court rulings on freedom of religion and speech prove this. charity u say. I guess going to peoples doors for free to try to help them doesn't count as charity in your mind. We are doing what God says to do! For Grandmother, every villiage has it's idiot. We are not a perfect organization. Never claimed to be. Imperfect people trying our best to help you. God is watching.
Simon said on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 3:17 AM
250,000 Jehovah's Witnesses have died since 1945 due to the No blood transfusion ban of "whole blood".You can't fool the general population of readers on this as we all hear about the deaths on the news all the time.Jehovah's Witnesses have NOT pioneered bloodless surgeries medical breakthroughs this is just normal medical technological advancement.
Simon said on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 3:16 AM
Jehovah's Witnesses have NO Public Charity once in a while like in hurricane Katrina they will send out a few crews to rebuild members homes (and collect the insurance money).Then they exaggerate it 10X to uses as propaganda. Where is the JW charity? No hospitals.food pantries,missions for poor nothing at all. The fact that the Watchtower society has trolls who systematically post false propaganda is a testimony to their 'wolf in sheep's clothing' nature.
Grandmother said on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 12:31 AM
Jehovah’s witnesses are basically a set of hypocrites whose members are sick and tired of waiting for the end of the world which isn’t coming because Jehovah doesn’t exist. We know this because too many pedophile elders have been appointed by Jehovah, so he cannot exist or he’s wicked. Jehovah's Witnesses proselytizer RAPES a child in the door to door recruitments http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16510/jehovahs-witness-in-door-to-door-sex-assault-scandal
Craig said on Tuesday, Dec 1 at 4:56 PM
Shelly. No manipulation. You have a choice. I think you've made yours as have I. Choosing is the freedom God gave all of us. I think you'd have to agree that no matter what faith you are or chose not to be, this society that we live in is a real mess. All predicted in the Bible.
Samuel said on Tuesday, Dec 1 at 2:42 PM
If you want to use the term 'brainwashed'...go ahead. Then, I am glad to be brainwashed from all the filth of this world. Yes, washed clean by the blood of the lamb....Jesus. Our family life is terific, not perfect, but in comparison to those without Bible standards......it is great!

If you want the truth about what we teach forget this blog where you hear people bash us but you can go to http://www.jw.org/

We make such easy targets, we practice our religion, help our neighbors, and actually bring Bible knowledge to your door.
Hugh said on Tuesday, Dec 1 at 7:36 AM
Serving my God Jehovah and being obedient to him has led to nothing but happiness and blessings for me.
for shelly and heather said on Tuesday, Dec 1 at 7:10 AM
Where do you think "unbias" reports come from? blogs like this one? Heather couldn't be further from the truth. We all know where lies and deception come from....The Devil must have made her do it. Montana Moma must be bitter about something. Hope you find the help that you need. It may not be JW's that provide it, but maybe your attitude can be adjusted somehow. You sure sound unhappy. For the record, I'm a young Jehovah's Witness, and I Love God. My schoolmates drink and do drugs, sex etc.
Shelly said on Tuesday, Dec 1 at 4:30 AM
Google: Jehovah Witness Watchtower for unbiased facts on this manipulative cult
Heather said on Tuesday, Dec 1 at 2:21 AM
Had a neighbour totally brainwashed by the cult, while vulnerable after a divorce. It is a totally evil moment that brainwashes the vulnerable to collect money, and should certainly be banned everywhere from bothering people by knocking on their doors in twos, groups, sometimes with small tired children, never alone (you might persuade them back to normal). And they know little of the bible they claim to quote - easy to catch them out, but a waste of time.
Georgia JW said on Tuesday, Dec 1 at 12:06 AM

Montana Moma said on Monday, Nov 30 at 11:43 PM
Jehovah's Witnesses is the cult of calculated deceit,shill,spam and sock puppetry. Obnoxious freaks just like when they get in my face on my doorstep.
neighbor said on Monday, Nov 30 at 8:07 PM
My neighbor is a Jehovah. He is the best neighbor I've ever had. I'm 83 and I've lived next to some real jerks. This guy helps me and has NEVER asked me for anything in return. Is he right? i'm not sure, but if he's not, he must have a special place in God's view. Thank God for great neighbors like Brad. I found Taylors comments hilarious... what good is illusion? facts man. just the facts....ever heard of Walter B. sounds like these guys are building because of growth. Jealous?
for noah said on Monday, Nov 30 at 7:51 PM
Noah.... interesting...what do you mean counts his field service time...hum... sounds like you may have been one of the witnesses. Df'd? disgruntled? Return to God and he will return to you. if you can, try...do the best you can and don't give up. It is tough to be self sacrificing, but it is posible. remember that God loved the world and you so much that he gave his son that you and I may gain life. Enjoy what you have, but store up treasures in heaven for lasting benefits.
sorry said on Monday, Nov 30 at 7:42 PM
I really feel sorry for Mark. He is soooo wrong, yet his opinoin is his to bear. His facts are pulled from who knows where and once again, he is bitter and obviously unhappy. Isn't it sad to see individuals that are so miserable that they cannot just stand on their own two feet. Whether it be Jw's or any other religion, good is good, bad is bad and evil is evil. Everyone really needs to chose for themselves. My choice is to respect my fellow, not tear down my neighbor and Love those that hate me
Michael said on Monday, Nov 30 at 5:24 PM
My life as a Witness is very clean, purposeful, happy, hopeful, and at the same time,...I am surrounded by more friends then I could ever want. Plus, my God Jehovah takes real good care of me. I just love and appreciate him.
slTaylor said on Monday, Nov 30 at 3:24 PM
Some of you folks need to get a life..oh wait a minute that is what JW's want too. haha
Poe said on Monday, Nov 30 at 2:46 PM
and - (Hebrews 10:26-27) . . .For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, 27 but [there is] a certain fearful expectation of judgment and [there is] a fiery jealousy that is going to consume those in opposition.
Poe said on Monday, Nov 30 at 2:45 PM
(Deuteronomy 32:4-5) . . .The Rock, perfect is his activity, For all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; Righteous and upright is he. 5 They have acted ruinously on their own part; They are not his children, the defect is their own.

You are in rough seas in a rotten wood boat. Not only will you sink beneath the waves, but anyone else in your boat goes down with you,
Poe said on Monday, Nov 30 at 2:42 PM
that is a LARGER population than about HALF the nations in the UN.And we all speak in agreement and we all enjoy a very healthy brotherhood. So, haters be warned.
Poe said on Monday, Nov 30 at 2:40 PM
And, one last thing. There are 7.4 million of us, world wide. When we count we only include active publishers so it's not like some churches where the numbers are bloated by counted ppl that have been dead for 5 years!
Poe said on Monday, Nov 30 at 2:38 PM
Time to wake up and smell the coffee, Folks! If you see their unity and love for one another and want to know more about them, DO, please, got to WWW.Watchtower.ORG. You'll get REAL information about us there.
Poe said on Monday, Nov 30 at 2:35 PM
And, BTW, the meeting are NOT BORING if you have a spiritual bone in your body. Of course, all those haters spewing their hatreful and UNSUBSTANTIATED slander are like a sleeping man's alarm clock. Uh-oh! Time to wake up and start thinking on my own!
Poe said on Monday, Nov 30 at 2:33 PM
All that smack talk is just that: Smack. Trash talk from people who didn't want to live up to what ever dedication they personally made to God.
Poe said on Monday, Nov 30 at 2:31 PM
the more that is learned about blood borne diseases, the more the idea of giving transfusions is being heavily re-evaluated as not worth the risk. The "benefits" (volume) do NOT out weigh the risks
Poe said on Monday, Nov 30 at 2:27 PM
Ppl here, the haters, keep harping on the whole blood transfusion 'thang', but fail to realize that the medical comminity as a whole considers bloodless surgery the "gold standard" of care and admitt that
Anonymous said on Monday, Nov 30 at 2:25 PM
As a relihion, they rely completely on the Bible and, were they to discover that something they believe was, in fact, NOT supported by the Bible, they would (will and have on a number of occasions) CHANGE it - world wide!
Poe said on Monday, Nov 30 at 2:22 PM
Some of these lies would be almost humorus, if they weren't so pathetic! Jehovah's Witnesses, as a community, are very peaceful and unified.
Noah said on Monday, Nov 30 at 12:45 PM
Sounds like the lady who said that 'I' was just there at her house. I had never been there before. She just lumps us altogether. Outstanding proof of unity!
Luke Out said on Monday, Nov 30 at 12:42 PM
Taylor,...great try...but incorrect. Secular sources tell the truth about growth. But you know that really does not matter. Jesus said only would be on the narrow road that leads to life. There were only 8 on the ark....while the complainers were outside.
Noah knows said on Monday, Nov 30 at 12:35 PM
Notice: nearly all the JW defense spam post here are the same person sock puppet S.K. he actually counts his field service time spamming.
Taylor said on Monday, Nov 30 at 12:26 PM
FACT-The Watchtower society corporation sells off (tax free) 3 kingdom halls a week in the USA and then builds 3 a week to keep followers busy and give the illusion of growth and profit.
Luke Out said on Monday, Nov 30 at 12:18 PM
Mark:.....Luke 13:24 tells us to exert ourselves vigorously because many will try to get in but will not be able to.
Luke Out said on Monday, Nov 30 at 12:12 PM
If I wanted to learn the truth about Jesus,...would I consult a Jewish encyclopedia?
Luke Out said on Monday, Nov 30 at 12:11 PM
1 Thessalonians 5:21 tells us: "Make sure of all things, hold fast to what is fine." I prefer to make sure using the God's Word the Bible rather then disgruntled complainers or apostates.
Mark said on Monday, Nov 30 at 12:07 PM
There actually are now twice as many former Jehovah's Witnesses as there are active ones with thousands leaving every month. Seventy percent or more of all kids born brought Jehovah's Witnesses will leave,often in the state of 'disfellowshiped' which means they are considered dead to God and shunned by their own family. So this is NOT a fast growing religion actually LOSING slightly in western countries and some gains in 3rd world as is most other new religions. Baptisms at assemblies
rocknronny said on Monday, Nov 30 at 11:57 AM
Investigate them thoroughly (google Watchtower Jehovah Witness ) as you would any door to door caller.
Luke Out said on Monday, Nov 30 at 11:53 AM
Simply read the Bible and you will read countless cases of servants of Jehovah that got involved in all sorts of wrongdoing. It is nothing new. Witnesses are not perfect and never were. What is the point?
James Janes said on Monday, Nov 30 at 11:45 AM
The following website summarizes 900 court cases and lawsuits affecting children of Jehovah's Witness Parents, including 400 cases where the JW Parents refused to consent to life-saving blood transfusions for their dying children, as well as nearly 400 CRIMINAL cases -- most involving MURDERS: DIVORCE, BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS, AND OTHER LEGAL ISSUES AFFECTING CHILDREN OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES jwdivorces.bravehost.com

Sally: Hitler was legal in his day and country and yet scammed the people. Cigarette companies are legal. If a religion fails or is exposed then they will loose members such as most main line denominations over the past 40 years.
Sally said on Monday, Nov 30 at 10:25 AM
Jehovah's Witnesses are schooled in 'finding common ground',if you like pink elephants they will become experts on pink elephants. That's the beauty of religion and superstition, it has no limits.Religion is the most profitable legal business because religions can misquote, misrepresent, and use unethical practices without fear of punishment. It's the absolute best way to scam people I have yet seen.
Luke Out said on Monday, Nov 30 at 10:23 AM
Witnesses do not tithe nor do they use intimidation through basket or plate passing. Nor do they print who gave what. Money is not a big deal to Witnesses. Their Father owns it all.
Luke Out said on Monday, Nov 30 at 10:21 AM
Mark: And all the teachings of Noah were that somehow only he heard a voice from God. How ridiculous? Or was he and modern day Witnesses like the boy that saw the truth of the emperor and then publically proclaimed it?
Mark said on Monday, Nov 30 at 10:08 AM
The Jehovah's Witnesses aka Wealthy Watchtower corporation of New York are the best real estate developers out there. They have FREE volunteer labor and property is mostly non taxable. Also worth noting that the Watchtower Society after building the hall requires the local congregation members to pay (oops, I mean "contribute") the entire cost of the hall back to the Watchtower Society, despite the fact that the Watchtower Society retains ownership of the hall!
Mark said on Monday, Nov 30 at 10:05 AM
Remember- The origin of all Watchtower teachings that makes them unique over all other religions is their creed of Jesus second coming 'invisibly' in the year 1914. Why? The JW actually have roots with the Seventh Day Adventist,they both have common origin in the William Miller apocalyptic movement of the 18th century. Of,course here in 2009 it is quite a stretch to proclaim Jesus advent in 1914 then try to explain "invisible" emperor's new clothes fashion, why everything is all still mes
desertrose said on Monday, Nov 30 at 9:52 AM
How selfish for all the complainers not to share their fabulous awe-inspiring lifestyle with JW's. Why don't they direct Witnesses to the correct narrow road that leads to life?
slTaylor said on Monday, Nov 30 at 8:50 AM
hey sadly have no individuals getting rich off the donations nor do they own large planes, banks, or any profit making business. In summary it is my opinion that no one should tolerate a religion that does these kinds of things. Otherwise how in the world could we justify letting them become better examples than we are ourselves?
slTaylor said on Monday, Nov 30 at 8:48 AM
6. They do not tolerate immoral or rebellious behavior in the congregation without trying to adjust those who are practicing these things. 7. They show love for all mankind and have zero degree of racism. 8. They use all the donations to further the ministry. 9. They sadly have no individuals getting rich off the donations nor do they own large planes
slTaylor said on Monday, Nov 30 at 8:25 AM
The following are some of the foremost reasons people have to dislike Jehovah's Witnesses; 1. They spend countless hours helping their neighbors where and whenever they are needed. 2. They train their kids to obey the laws of God, first and foremost. 3. They show respect all authority regardless where they might reside. 4. They spend countless hours studying the Bible. 5. They spend their whole lives learning to apply Bible principles. They freely donate their time to help others in t

Hey, we know all these JW defender trolls post are the same sock puppet. You really wreck your JW credibility and are an embarssment to your order
David said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 10:45 PM
Simple & Quick Jehovah's Witnesses FYI A) NOT the True religion B) JW are a false religion just like the rest of em C) Actually they really are the fraud for God "wolves in sheep's clothing" that Jesus himself warned about. Children, elderly and in between all suffer for nothing in this oppressive man-made ripoff Watchtower society cult. That's it!
for fast facts said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 5:37 PM
Fast Facts.....your facts sound untrue. Do you really believe what you write? You sound bored. I'm not defending Jehovah's, just don't believe what you write.
Hacienda said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 5:25 PM
It is so interesting that the negative posters here and elsewhere always refrain from saying what they have that is any better. Complain, complain, complain. Gets tiring like philosophy that just goes around in a circle.
to reality check said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 4:20 PM
Mr. Check You probably think Noah was wrong also. 2010, look around you. Do you like what you see? They may not be correct, but I think they are really close. Sure was a lot going on in 1914. Does anyone believe in Love thy neighbor anymore? It's sure seems that these commets are cruel to thy neighbor.
Mike said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 3:57 PM
I was raised from Infancy as a JW. I left when I was 17 thinking that I knew better. I didn't. The world we live in sickened me with all of the bad influences that I got involved in. I'm glad that I finally woke up and got back to living a life that is full of peace and an organization that is united worldwide. With over 7 million brothers and sisters, I have a large family that believes the whole Bible as I do. I don't just believe everything, I'm convinced that this is the true faith.
Bart said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 3:45 PM
Dura, I was wondering how anyone could be part of anything for 30 years and then just leave. Were you mislead for 30 years or did you do something that you decided to leave or they kicked you out? I've heard of people being in marriages for that long and then having an affair or just getting bored and leaving. I know the witnesses are really strict about immorality. It must be hard to keep up with these people as they seem to be so busy living their religion. Did you join another religion?
daliesfollies said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 2:45 PM
Negativity is the oil that lubricates Satan's machinations. We know it's the truth because we taught ourselves. Nobody twisted my arm. I'm privileged to have been "drawn" by Jehovah to the truth.
dura said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 10:26 AM
I know what Jehovah's Witnesses are......I was one for 30 years. When I found out they lied about thier own history, and I could no longer take the gossip and backstabbing, I left. Best thing I ever did for myself.
Let's Be Frank said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 9:12 AM
I would hope the J.W.'s thought they had the true religion....why in the world would they want to be in one that did not think that? That being the case....what does that say about all the other Christian religions?
volunteer too said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 8:48 AM
guess again volunteer. better do ur research. i did ur wrong, these guys are the fastest growing. religion in the world. some may have more members but thyr rapidly losing them to this group of folks, i bet dacey gambles smokes and who knws whatevr else. i'm trying to quit smoking u should too, if more people were like these guys, we would have a better enviroment for our kids. think about it
Nick said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 8:37 AM
These postings are funny. The world we are living in today is so troubled with problems, yet no one wants to listen to something better. I have neighbors that are JW's and they went to help in New Orleans, they are always helping everyone I know, including me. Most of you do not have a clue what you're talking about. The holidays that I celebrate are only Thanksgiving, as all the research I've done show the others to be PAGAN. Do you guy's do Halloween? You little Devils.
Lauren said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 5:04 AM
Their Kingdom Hall meetings are to bolster their elitist teachings that they have the only religion on earth that pleases God,only they are being blessed by God and that all other people on the planet but them will be destroyed soon by their God.
Reality check said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 3:50 AM
Keep building your 3 new halls a week (and sell off 3 a week) That my friends in 2010 is the new *truth* no new system. The whole Watchtower 1914 date Jesus return second coming is a lie REMINDERS: "It is not a form of religious persecution for anyone to say and to show that another religion is false". (1963 Watchtower November 15th}
soren said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 2:14 AM
All of these negative posters sound the same as ones 30 years ago. And yet Jehovah's earthly organization continues to grow and flourish....These complainers are actually helping by weeding out negative ones like themselves and stirring up interest by the righteously disposed curious ones.
Dacey said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 1:49 AM
This is a cult of hysterical shill defenders Fraud for God from the get-go. ADMIT that you JW are NO better than any other religion
lars said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 1:48 AM
Volunteer: Come on over to my house and I will give you a bowl of soup, it that is what you want.
lars said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 1:45 AM
Why don't non-Witness Christians share their faith with others?..only young Mormon men have ever called at my door. These negative posters are like ancient Israelites that fell into the trap of murmuring and complaining.
Volunteer said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 1:42 AM
The only increase shown is in North America in recent years. is the fact they seem to counting people at a younger and younger age as a "member" of the congregation. The constant disappointment in their predicted "end of the world" or Armageddon, has led to many disillusioned middle aged and older members. Look around,have you ever seen any soup kitchens,schools,hospitals,shelters,food pantries ANY charity form JW? They talk about their assisting in disasters this too is mostly propaganda hype
lars said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 1:40 AM
Our congregation is growing so rapidly that we are ready to split and form another congregation. We cannot keep up with all of the interest.
Volunteer said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 1:38 AM
Guess who gets the money when the hall is sold? Not the local congregation, despite the fact that they had paid for the whole thing. When the next hall gets built, guess what? Same thing. Congregation members are paying it down but Watchtower Society retains ownership. They have a vigorous building construction program of about 3 new halls a week in the US,but if you carefully check the real estate transactions they sell off the same.The halls are built with a trained crew of all volunteer labo

If you wanted to know more about Jesus,....would you ask Jewish rabbis?
Simon said on Sunday, Nov 29 at 1:10 AM
Jehovah Witness share some doctrinal beliefs with Christianity,but many of their beliefs either completely contradict,or at least pervert Biblical truths. Theologically,Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult of Christianity. The oppressive organization does not represent historical, Biblical Christianity. Sociologically, it is a destructive sect whose false teachings frequently result in spiritual and psychological abuse,as well as needless deaths.

LORI you can contact Jehovah's Witnesses via their website www.watchtower.org There is a box on the front page to request a visit or literature.

Jehovah Witness Instill a separatist mentality against society while promoting an ‘end time’ visionary prophecy. Just like in Waco and Jonestown…..

Jehovah's Witnesses cause these problems: 1) break up families under the guise of Jesus said so. 2) let kids die from no blood transfusion then say it's from God and then have all kinds of you can use blood parts loopholes. 3) go door to door and lie about why they are really there say it's to encourage Bible reading when they want to get literature in your hands ask for donation and then come back bothersome because

Jerom; The 90,000 is for materials only. People really do come at their own expense. All labor is volunteer. We build Kingdom Halls out of necessity only. I've been involved in 46 new builds or remodels in the 23 years I've been a Witness. I'm on the drywall finishing crew. Usually we get started about 10pm Friday eve., and finish about 8am Sat. for painters. Makes for an extremely fulfilling weekend. 4 dys average from start to finish. I was at Helena. That would be true.

Eighty percent of all Kids born into the Jehovah's Witnesses religion will LEAVE on adulthood.Largest attrition rate of any religion on earth because it is oppressive and boring.Most of these JW defender shill post are the same person using different user names. GOOGLE Jehovah Witness that's all you need to know folks...

I have seen these projects where I come from. Fantastic to watch.
Lori said on Saturday, Nov 28 at 2:32 PM
Is it true that Jehovas are the fastest growing religion in the world? I know they're not the largest, but I know they work really hard to help people learn the Bible. Does anyone know the address of this church? I'd like to see what they are all about.
David said on Saturday, Nov 28 at 2:28 PM
Judith may consider them dangerous, but check into what they have done in the supreme court for you and I. I checked this out and was amazed. They have fought for our civil liberties. I think that the reason the governments are concerned is because they are being exposed. I'm a voting individual that wishes I could give it up. I keep thinking one party or the other are going to make a difference. I'm still waiting.
Jerom said on Saturday, Nov 28 at 2:20 PM
I wonder if the $90,000 was just materials? I don't think the volunteers take any money for their work. Do they really come from all over at their own expense? Can anyone tell me what the $90,000 is for? Actual dollars spent or value of the project. I heard they built a complete church in Helena in 4 days...true/false? Just curious.

In response to Trudi... when is the last time you seen or heard of a cult doing things for people for nothing? Boy are there a lot of religions out there. I mean really "out there". I would think that it would be blasphemy to say that a religion that follows Christ and the Bible as closely as these people to a cult. I'm really careful not to make hasty judgments against people, but I think you are jumping to a conclision that may be "out there". Were you taught to hate or is it in your nature?

Hey Sal: Do you really think that the best source of information on anyone would be EX anything? EX wife, Ex employer? Really. Maybe the best source would be to just ask them. I did and so far they are the only ones that could answer my questions. I know they don't take their faith lightly. If more of us did that, I think that life would be much better. I need a better life, mine sucks. Sounds like yours does also.

Very nice to see folks that are not hateful or bitter, but rather productive and enjoying life, working together to create something worthwhile. Others can do this also if united by common beliefs and the happy motivation to help others build faith. Nice to see folks trying to be the kind of persons others want to be around rather than the negative and bitter.
Chaz said on Saturday, Nov 28 at 2:00 PM
Make's me wonder where Frank get's his information. Seem's like just another illiterate individual. I have looked into these people. They have it right. I just can't bring myself to do what they do and what Jesus did...teach other people for no charge. My Bishop has to get paid for everything he does.
Frank said on Saturday, Nov 28 at 10:13 AM
(John 10:16) after reading the entire 10th chapter without Watchtower influence and you will see that the 'other sheep' are the converted gentiles and not an earthly class with a separate limited literal 144,000 going to heaven. Michael the archangel is not Jesus either! There are many Watchtower false spurious doctrines
Frank said on Saturday, Nov 28 at 10:07 AM
1. Bases many beliefs on numerology 2. corrupt translation of the bible (NWT) 3. Founders were into demonic occult teachings 4. Doctrines have changed over time 5.1914 Jesus *invisible* return 6. only 144,000 go to heaven 7. two classes of saved Christians 8. *whole* blood and autologous transfusions a sin,but okay to use fractions donated by Red Cross blood donors 9. genocide of 6 billion plus men women children at Watchtower Armageddon
Sal said on Saturday, Nov 28 at 9:41 AM
The best source of info on Jehovah's Witnesses is EX-members who are no longer under the spell of the Watchtower corporation. The Watchtower teaches Jesus second coming in month of October 1914 this is major false doctrine and sign that they are false religion as bad as any out there.
Moroni said on Saturday, Nov 28 at 7:54 AM
I for one have seen these folks wondering our neighborhoods, talking to people about the Bible. I have never ran into one that didn't know his/her Bible. Even the kids know the Bible better than and religion I have ever been in or seen. Of course everyone has their opinion and Judith and Trudy are obviously uninformed. Look closely, are these people following the Bible? Do you believe in God? from my vantage point, these people are the closest you'll ever see to what God must be looking for.
Nick said on Saturday, Nov 28 at 7:07 AM
What wonderful team work! Only true Christians like the Jehovah's Witnesses could achieve something like this. N.

I think Jehovah's Witnesses are their happiest when they are building a Kingdom Hall. They have something to show for all their effort. If they could always build or do community charitable work I think they would be happier. The door to door work is so unproductive and boring. The children hate it but cannot be truly honest without getting stern counselling so they say they like it to get desperate praise from their parents.

@TRUDY Every religion on earth thinks of themselves to be the one and only TRUTH. Otherwise it makes no sense to excist. The Anti JW rethoric by you and Judith makes no sense at all and is far from the truth. kindest regards from the Netherlands, Europe
Trudy said on Saturday, Nov 28 at 1:55 AM
Jehovah’s Witnesses are a classic cult. A cult does not require any set number of leaders, only the inerrant belief that they are the ONLY TRUE RELIGION. Nothing else matters once that ego kicks in and messes with their heads. Once that engages, it usually takes a life-changing event or change of circumstances to get them to reconsider their beliefs The Watchtower society as an example is not benevolent and won’t let you leave their organization in peace.
Judith said on Saturday, Nov 28 at 1:15 AM
Jehovah's Witnesses are considered a dangerous cult in many European countries and definitely under investigation because governments are concerned by the mind manipulation, child molestation cover-ups, breaking up of families due to shunning, as well as other atrocities taking place within the religion. Victims of WT's hard-line organizational policies are speaking up to government officials about their experiences and they are responding with assistance.
