I don’t even mind the religious comments, but I want them to be relevant to the topic. Right now, it kinda seems like spam. :-/

Oh no! Their fake beliefs are different from your fake beliefs?

Sorry bro, but you are dangerously close to spamming my web site right now. These are not well thought out arguments that are relevant to the posts in any way. They neither support nor deny anything I write about, and they do not encourage any sort of discussion. Instead of adding to the articles, they seem more like a list of gripes and complaints that have no bearing on anything here other than the fact that I do criticize the same organization you are criticizing. But writing stuff like that is kinda, like, my job here. You know? Do that on your own web site if that’s the tone you’re going for.

If you truly want to write something here, contact me about doing an article as a guest. But I will want a different style and tone than the ones shown in your comments. If you don’t think I’m treating you fairly, convince me I’m wrong by contacting me directly. You can find my email on the About page. I would appreciate it.

No disrespect intended.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses teach preach that Jesus had his return aka second coming October 1914,then they spin all sorts of doctrinal embellishments on that date with 1918 being their appointment by Jesus as sole heirs of this 1914 Kingdom coming.
They teach Michael the Archangel is one and same as Jesus.
Have a deadly dogma prohibiting whole blood transfusion but use cow’s blood calling it *Hemopure*.
They teach only 144,000 go to heaven,on and on and on with made up man made dogmas……JW are a spin-off of the second adventist and have this in common with the SDA both of which shun Christmas holiday.

Jehovah’s Witnesses promotion of their Watchtower sect has the net effect of stumbling and turning people off to the real Gospel.
Jesus said: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte; and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves” (Matt 23:15)

Jehovah’s Witnesses are unpopular for many reasons, none of which matched the early church except for non-political involvement, which is not exclusive to them at all. They are like carnival hucksters preaching the need to become a Jehovah’s Witness or die at Armageddon.

They say they promote good family life? Only until you disagree with the leadership in Brooklyn on the slightest of points, and then they completely divide and destroy the family. Then they write hypocritical articles like the new July 2009 Awake! “The Bible’s Viewpoint – Is It Wrong to Change Your Religion?” and make themselves look open-minded and progressive, but practice the most destructive forms of shunning of all religions if you disobey the leadership’s ever-changing doctrines, dates and rules.

Anyone can be persecuted, which proves nothing if you are a religion invented in the late 1800s by a man who was into pyramidology, numerology, and who stood on the top of a building with a white sheet waiting to be raptured. 130 years later, they are still awaiting a false hope. -

These are not good ways to begin a dialogue, Jamel.

Still, what I could make out was pretty familiar WT stuff.

“All right, we’re the grownups here and God wants you to do as we say. Oh, you gosh darn kids in the back row just don’t get it! So sad really. We’re only trying to help you see things our way because we’re so right and stuff. Here, just read this Watchtower mag while I tussle your hair. Oh, and you owe me a buck for the mag. Hey, free isn’t free, kid! Satan will get ya if you don’t read our truth! Come back here!!!”

This is what every isolationist sect that is generally deemed to be odd, fear mongering, or otherwise “out there” likes to say. For me, it remains as completely unconvincing as it is creepy cult-like.

Have you ever noticed that anyone who doesn’t think the way the Society wants them to is presumed to be screwed up somehow? It never occurs to the Society’s leaders, or many Witnesses, that it might be the other way around.

This is conveniently deemed to be worldly or apostate thinking by the Society. I consider it the mark of an earnest quest for knowledge and a sign of humility.

Thanks, Jamel, but I’ve been there and done that. I’m still very glad I did.
