Hi there

Well i am not a JW but i have seen these people do only but good things, not only for their own group but for individuals and groups of the community. I really can't understand why these people are so persecuted at times ?

[reslight]

Russell did indeed preach against the added-on doctrine of eternal suffering. Such doctrine of man is not found in the Bible, but has been created as a result of blending and adapting Hellenistic mythology and philosophy into the Bible.

@xxTheCuriousCatxx well, the Bible says that true Christians will be persequted. Jws are the only one's sanctifying God's name, Jehovah. But so many ignorant christians are rude to them and spit in their faces, but look at the Jews toward the apostles in the New Testiment.

[dmcarden]

Thank you!!

[GerrettJihad]

@xxTheCuriousCatxx Because True Beleivers Of God Will be Persecuted by all the Nations, and then the end will come.

[ahenderson666]

Thank you.

@harvestsoulfly From what I understand, they don't condemn people of other denominations, but they do disagree with a fair amount of dogma, including the concept of a Trinity and hellfire. They may criticize the hierarchy and organization of other denominations, but don't have any animosity towards their followers.

While the Watchtower is responsible for their official interpretational stance, everything is reasoned with scripture and cross-referencing - JWs strongly seek to follow the Bible

[polystrate]

This guy obviously doesn't understand why they are so dangerous and evil and I'm talking about the leaders, not the pons. Mind control, destroying families, labeling ones for damnation is they disagree, leave, or aren't a Jw are things they do. I know, I was in and raised as one not to think. Couldn't control me tho, I questioned and found out why they are so messed up. Its like living with zombies or the borg from star trek. They control ones with fear and guilt, lie, conceal, attack ones.

Jehovah is God's name. Check dictionaries, encyclopedias, bibles (at Exodus 6:3, Isaiah 42:8, and Isaiah 54:5). Jehovah's Witnesses serve Christ Jesus our Lord. Matthew 4:17 Jesus started preaching. He taught his disciples to preach in Matthew 10. Matthew 10:14 tells them to go house to house. Matthew 24:14 says this good news of the kingdomwill be preached... before the end comes.

Jesus taught his disciples to make more disciples at Matthew 28:19,20,"Go therefore and make disciples..."
