Why not the catholic church or others religions?
I agree. JWs are just another religion, subject to criticism.
I dont understand that how a religion that douesn't go to war, don't buy guns,
There are other religions that also don't go to war. Many JWs do buy guns though. Also, Jehovah's chosen organization in the Old Testament were one of the bloodiest, warmongering groups ever.
they preach for free they dont get paid,
Nothing in the scriptures identifies the true religion as a group with people that doesn't get paid. Besides, the Jews tithed. Additionally, many of the apostles/disciples were taken care of by the congregation. You don't think this also involved financial help?
there not rasist,
That's what they claim, but I have heard some of the worst racist comments from JWs. Just listen to the white guys that run the sound department complain about how awful the Spanish brothers are with the sound equipment.
they love there neighbors they treat others well,
If you mean ignore them unless there is an opportunity to give a "Witness", then I guess you are right.
Why so much hate, if they go strictly by what the bible says.
They go by what the New World Translation says ... which is a badly hacked version of the bible ... with changes made that (coincidentally) parallel their made-up theology.
Yes there has been thing that maybe you have seen in the congregacion that they were not right but there inperfect. I dont know. But I think that people should'nt judge others so harshly
I agree. They are sincere, but imperfect and make mistakes. But so are the other religions. So why should God only allow the JWs to be forgiven and not the others? The society says we should stick with the Watchtower even if they do make mistakes and are wrong about some things. But ... if there was an original organization that made mistakes, it would have to be the Catholic Church . . . according to the JWs own reasoning we should all be Catholics.
I know jw dont judge people because i'm one, and the society doesnt judge anyone nor it tells people if you dont do something your going to hell.
Bull crap. They do judge. Instead of saying "your going to hell" they say, "you'll get burned up in a fireball at Armageddon". Not much difference in my opinion.
They dont scare people they respect others.
Not true. I grew up my whole childhood scared to death of Armageddon. Anytime I wanted to do something outside of what was allowed in the congregation my mom would say, "You're making Jehovah unhappy. Do you want to die at Armageddon? DO YOU?" Seems like a scare tactic to me.
Yes clearly there are things that the bible states that they are wrong. There principles they cant be changed. Jehovah has put those principles not us, JW guide and imitate jesus preaching.
According to the scriptures you brag about, Jesus and the disciples primarily preached in the public places, not door-to-door. They only went door-to-door after they found interested people in the public markets and synagogues. They also went door-to-door to obtain lodging - not preaching.
Please let me know what lies they spread?
- That Jesus returned invisibly in 1914.
- That we are in the last days.
- That Jehovah was removed from the Greek scriptures.
- That Jesus is just a powerful angel - and not much else.
- That Jerusalem was destroyed in 607 BC.
- That the scriptures teach two hopes - earthly and heavenly.
- plenty more upon request.
Please let me know how an organization that wants to help people is bad?
The mormons want to help people.
7th Day ADventists want to help people.
Catholics want to help people.
The Red Cross wants to help people.
How does "helping" people make them legit?
That unlike any other church ministers dont get payed?
Not all church ministers get paid. Do your homework. And passing a "plate" does not mean that a religion is wrong. Show me where the scriptures say such a thing.
Tell why evreything Jw saw is based on the bible not the new testiment any bible.
Again, they go by what the New World Translation says ... which is a badly hacked version of the bible ... with changes made that (coincidentally) parallel their made-up theology.
Tell me how an organization that believes in peace and in a paradise is spreading lies.
- JWs aren't the only religion that believe in peace. Do you REALLY think that?
- the bible does not teach a earthly paradise
Rev 21:4 states that there will soon be no more death, nor sicknesses, nor pain.
Correct, but it doesn't say anything about earth. Read the scripture again ... this time in context.
In a world that there is so much pain and suffering and so many people kill them selfs, and so many murders occur wouldn't you think the armagedon will come?
These things have always happened. There are several books that detail crime rates and how lousy life was before 1914. We have it GREAT compared to back then.
Or are we all living a normal life and then when we die we will go to heaven? What happens to our planet.
This is the big mystery. This is the hardest thing for JWs to come to grips with - that there aren't concrete answers for everything. If you believe the bible then - yes - I believe the bible teaches that EVERYONE has a heavenly hope.
please help me understand where the hate is coming from?
It comes from people like you sticking up for a religion that you don't know the facts about.
===============================================
If you want to wave accusations about you probably will never find out the truth about "the Truth". However, if you post topics in a kind and sincere manner - maybe one at a time - people on here will be GLAD to help. Just don't insinuate that we are all bitter and angry.
