Why Do People Oppose Jehovah's Witnesses?
by BlackSpirit injesus christ, the son of the most high god, jehovah has this to say: "if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.
now because you are no part of the world, but i have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

No other people on this earth has been hated and persecuted more than the Jews over the Centuries even to this day plus approximately 6 Million people ,men women and children in just 6 short years between 1939-1945
So they must still be Gods chosen people who have the "Truth" and they believe the Tetragrammaton represents Gods name.

Well the article does point out it is the ( New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures ) according to the Jehovah`s Witness version of the Bible and not always in accordance with mainstream traditional versions of the Bible
Nowhere in the N.W.T. of the N.T. part of the Bible are Christians told/encouraged or instructed to bear witness to ,for ,or about Jehovah , nowhere , not one scripture .
However their are upwards of twenty or more scriptures that admonish instruct and encourage followers of Jesus Christ to bear Witness about HIM ,and that HIS name is to be exalted in all the earth above every other name including the name of Jehovah.
Typical to form J.W.`s pick and choose what they will abide by and what they will not abide by in Scripture .
And J.W`s are supposed to be in subjection to the Superior Authorities according to Romans because the Superior Authorities are Gods messenger to punish those who fail to be submissive to his /Jehovah`s arrangement .Rom.13

Gorby ,I still do some of my best ant-witnessing in my dream-sleep mode and I have been out a good 25 years .
And don`t forget the U.N. declared the year in 1986 as the International Year of Peace and Security .
However the end did not come as proclaimed in 1 Thes. 5:3 "then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them "
Words that don`t have any relevance in the Bible . Words that do not mean what they say.
Sudden destruction
Instantly
Soon
This generation
day
just to name a few ,can you think of a few more ?

I Think It’s Great That ExJWs Have Gotten Politically Involved!
by minimus inremember when we could never say an opinion regarding politics?
it’s refreshing to see that we can tell everyone what our political stances are and have no fear of shunning .

Its nice to know that we can have a say in what our Govt`s do whether it goes the way we want it to or not at least we can have a say in it and voice our opinion.
And not be dictated to by religion and the Governing Body of J.W.`s

Former Jehovah’s Witness jailed for child sex crimes
by Tahoe inhttps://www.perthnow.com.au/news/crime/former-jehovahs-witness-jailed-for-child-sex-crimes-ng-b88859067z.
a former jehovah’s witness who sexually assaulted three young boys says his homosexual inclinations were repressed by his religion and manifested in his crimes.. gavin andrew lamont, 46, was jailed for four years today for assaulting two vulnerable teenagers in the early to mid-90s and another boy about 20 years later.. lamont encouraged the teens to give him massages and suggested he needed help checking for testicular cancer.. district court judge linda petrusa said lamont, who knew he was homosexual from about age 13, had significant cognitive distortions around sex because of his religious beliefs.. .
she said the victims, who were aged between 14 and 16, were vulnerable because of their youth and lack of sophistication.. judge petrusa sentenced lamont to four years behind bars for indecently dealing with a child and four counts of indecent assault.. lamont was kicked out of the mundaring congregation in 1997 after one of his victims complained to other members, but was reinstated after doing counselling with elders.. he was kicked out of the congregation for a second time in 2014 after another victim made a complaint.. lamont’s crimes came to the attention of police last year through the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse.. defence lawyer seamus rafferty described the case as complex, saying lamont struggled with his sexuality because his religion told him it was a sin.. he told the court the church was the essence of lamont’s being and said his client tried to repress his sexuality and ended up behaving in “naïve, unsophisticated and pathetic ways”.. lamont’s parents and sister are all living with complicated health issues and rely heavily on his help and care.. mr rafferty asked judge petrusa to give lamont a conditional suspended jail term, saying he was the glue that was holding his family together.. “this is a case for the exercise of mercy, its mercy towards them (his family) and nobody else,” he said.. judge petrusa accepted a prison term would be tough on lamont’s family but said an immediate jail term was the only appropriate punishment.. in a statement to the court, one of the victims said he felt that he was “forever stained” by lamont’s crime.. he said the abuse had made him self-conscious in his dealings with his own child.. lamont will be eligible for parole after spending two years behind bars.. .
