They really have the true religion. They speak the truth and expose lies such as the false doctrines of the trinity, hellfire, eternal soul.... and others. They teach from the Bible. If you want to learn the Truth from the Bible, they can show it to you.

I try to maintain a certain degree of "respect" for the various religions (even if, privately, I'm contemptuous) there are, but when you have to come knocking on my front door with your nonsense-- Brother, that's all she wrote. The first time, I answered the door in a towel (having just taken a shower) and an older guy accompanied by his very, very young son started in on his spiel. In deference to the young boy, I didn't tell the guy to f himself and slam the door in his face, but it was very uncomfortable. The kid obviously would have rather been anywhere else. Finally, I told the guy to give me his literature and I'd read it later, as...obviously...I wasn't "dressed" for this particular discussion. Of course, said "literature" went right into my circular file. Now, several years later, I don't maintain even a pretension of politeness or civility. To me, it's the height of gall to proselytize people who haven't invited you to share your religious convictions (if they work for you-- fine, but don't bother me unless I request your help; although, considering there are at least a dozen or so churches, synagogues, temples, chapels, etc., in every city and town across the country and much of the world, why would I have to?), or to knock on the door of their personal residence some early morning or afternoon. Just this past Easter, 2 guys dressed like Fuller Brush salesmen were going door to door in my neighborhood. Luckily for them, I was away when they knocked on mine. My birth mother tells them, "I'm Catholic; Don't bother me again" before shutting the door. Me? I just shut the door now, and they should count themselves lucky that I don't curse them out as I do so. Once, on a Memorial Day, I was sitting in my car in a cemetery when several of them approached me to hand me their literature. I have to say that that was one occasion where I was rendered speechless. Not even in a cemetery are you safe from their intrusion! I used to work with a guy from Brooklyn who was married to a Jehovah's Witness. He had 3 kids, and he told them, "If you get into an accident, and you need a blood transfusion, you better call me and not your mother. If you call your mother, you're going to bleed to death, understand?" As I say with nearly any religion, whacky or not-so-whacky--- If you as an adult want to involve yourself in it...fine...but why subject your young kids to such horseshit?

"A derivative religion from Millerites and Adventists, founded in 1876, denies the doctrine of the Trinity and claim that Jesus is the Son of God separated from the Father."

Actually, they are not a derivative. While obviously having had experiences with other Christian religions they began as a small Bible study group in the late 1800's. Thus, they were known as Bible Students. Early on they realized that God required them to preach and teach about the things they were discovering in the scriptures. Soon they became known as the International Bible Students.

Five stars for bearing THE earmark of true Christianity. Jesus said, 'all will know you are my disciples if you have love among themselves.' - John 13:35.

They act as a cohesive whole. You find congregations of them everywhere in the world and if you were traveling you would get the same spiritual understandings in any one of these. That cannot be said of any religion, at least to the same degree.

As you would or should expect of an international group preaching brotherhood they do not share in the conflicts of nations. War destroys lives of their brothers and others and disrupts their preaching work. Why would they share in it? In fact, they never have and never will.

Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated byAbdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Leave the Abyssinians alone as long as they leave you alone, for it is only the Abyssinian with short legs who will seek to take out the treasure of the Ka'bah. (HR.Hasan, Abu Daud (4309), Ash Shahihah (772)) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Ubadah ibn as-Samit The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: I have told you so much about the Dajjal (Antichrist) that I am afraid you may not understand. The Antichrist is short, hen-toed, woolly-haired, one-eyed, an eye-sightless, and neither protruding nor deep-seated. If you are confused about him, know that your Lord is not one-eyed. (HR.Abu Daud (4320), Qishash Dajjal, Al Misykah (5485) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Abu Hurayrah The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace be upon him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him. (HR.Abu Daud (4324), Qishshah Ad Dajjal, Ash Shahihah (2182) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Fatimah, daughter (binti) of Qays The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) once delayed the congregational night prayer. He came out and said: The talk of Tamim ad-Dari detained me. He transmitted it to me from a man who was on of of the islands of the sea. All of a sudden he found a woman who was trailing her hair. He asked: Who are you? She said: I am the Jassasah. Go to that castle. So I came to it and found a man who was trailing his hair, chained in iron collars, and leaping between Heaven and Earth. I asked: Who are you? He replied: I am the Dajjal (Antichrist). Has the Prophet of the unlettered people come forth now? I replied: Yes. He said: Have they obeyed him or disobeyed him? I said: No, they have obeyed him. He said: That is better for them. (HR.Abu Daud (4325), Qishash Ad Dajjal, Muslim) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated byAbdullah ibn Umar Nafi' told that Ibn Umar used to say: I swear by Allah that I do not doubt that Antichrist is Ibn Sayyad. (HR.Abu Daud (4330) Shahih Mauquf) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir told that he saw Jabir ibn Abdullah swearing by Allah that Ibn as-Sa'id was the Dajjal (Antichrist). I expressed my surprise by saying: You swear by Allah! He said: I heard Umar swearing to that in the presence of the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him), but the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) did not make any objection to it. (HR.Shahih:Abu Daud 4331, Muttafaq ‘ilaih) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Abu Bakr You people recite this verse "You who believe, care for yourselves; he who goes astray cannot harm you when you are rightly-guided," and put it in its improper place. Khalid's version has: We heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: When the people see a wrongdoer and do not prevent him, Allah will soon punish them all. Amr ibn Hushaym's version has: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) say: If acts of disobedience are done among any people and do not change them though the are able to do so, Allah will soon punish them all. (HR.Shahih, Abu Daud (4338)) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: If any man is among a people in whose midst he does acts of disobedience, and, though they are able to make him change (his acts), they do not change, Allah will smite them with punishment before they die. (HR.Hasan, Abu Daud (4339)) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'Ash The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: How will you do when that time will come? Or he said: A time will soon come when the people are sifted and only dregs of mankind survive and their covenants and guarantees have been impaired and they have disagreed among themselves and become thus, interwining his fingers. They asked: What do you order us to do, Apostle of Allah? He replied: Accept what you approve, abandon what you disapprove, attend to your own affairs and leave alone the affairs of the generality. (HR.Shahih, Abu Daud (4342)) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'Ash When we were around the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him), he mentioned the period of commotion (fitnah) saying: When you see the people that their covenants have been impaired, (the fulfilling of) the guarantees becomes rare, and they become thus (interwining his fingers). I then got up and said: What should I do at that time, may Allah make me ransom for you? He replied: Keep to your house, control your tongue, accept what you approve, abandon what you disapprove, attend to your own affairs, and leave alone the affairs of the generality. (HR.Hasan Shahih: Abu Daud (4343), Ash Shahihah (205, 888, 1535)) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The best fighting (jihad) in the path of Allah is (to speak) a word of justice to an oppressive ruler. (HR.Shahih, Abu Daud (4344)) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Al Urs bin Amirah al-Kindi The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When sin is done in the earth, he who sees it and disapproves of it will be taken like one who was not present, but he who is not present and approves of it will be like him who sees. (HR.Abu Daud (4345), Al Misykah (5141) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Abu Tsa'labah al-Khusyani The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Allah will not fail to detain this community for less than half a day. (HR.Shahih:Abu Daud (4349), Ash Shahihah (1643) Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith Narrated by Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: I hope my community will not fail to maintain their position in the sight of their Lord if He delays them half a day. Sa'd was asked: How long is half a day? He said: It is five hundred years. (HR.Shahih, Abu Daud (4350))

There aren't too many things in the world harder to do than cold call sales. To use this method to sell your religious beliefs seems to be a daunting task indeed. While I can't agree with most of their views, I respect them greatly for their sincere attempts to present what they believe to a wider, generally uncaring public.

annoying but ok I guess

great personal opposition to the way i have been treated in their presence......

They are very nice people. They definately fulfil the command to preach. I wonder why other religions don't do this?

With their bizarre ban on enjoyment and backward views on medicine, this may be one of the more mentally and physically dangerous of the so-called religions based on creative gospel hacking.  So far out in left field they apparently have to continue to hawk it door to door hoping to catch someone young, searching and naïve.  This one is both sad and scary.

Ever been to Witness wedding? No booze, no dancing, no liveliness. I can cope without an open bar, But no bar? Bah...

I guess these people aren't gonna get into heaven cause there is a limited amount that can get in

Dumb asses. Quit knocking on my GODDAMN door and waking me up.

they aint bad just annoying

i was one and they scared me so i quit.

Annoying. Come knocking on your door.

They know the Bible they just don't get it.

A religion that think's that only THEY are the rightious one's, sorry, but that's just pompocity. And not allowing blood transfusions?
Yeah, cause dieng sounds SOOOO much more appealing dosn't it? *Looks Sarcastic*

Should not have a rating. This so called religion is cult. Shouldn't be taken seriously.

I'm okay with them being Jehovah's witnesses, Why can't they be okay with my NOT being one?

I hate it when they knock on the door over and over again. Dont they have a do not visit list??

umm... they is are kinda... different...

really terrible!!!

athiest, it doesnt make sense to have a higher being that hasnt shown its self in physical form, and still have faith.

annoying bastards!

I don't have problems with their beliefs, but the idea that they HAVE to push it on other people is a bit ridiculous and annoying. Believe how you want but keep it to yourself.

The joke of all religions

Actually, I just feel bad for the kids that don't get to celebrate the holidays. Maybe I'm shallow.

The reason I have a fully fenced property.

No holidays for you!!

Door to Door Jesus..just not cool annoying at best offensive at worst. after reading a former JW's blog their brainwashing guilt tripping ministry tactics put young impressionable minds at risk and in unsafe unsanitary conditions.They seem to have a fundamentalist agenda..and a very cultish proile..ther profit founder has absolutely no credibility, and was a bad example of piety. Anyone who knows a devout JW knows they have nothing of value to discuss in religion beyond their dogma..which is all they want to discuss. Their View of Heaven or the Kingdom on earth is put mildly fanciful and bears no resemblence to sanity. Their explanations for the day of resurrection and doomsday dishonors the presumable wisdom of the divine. When put in perspective of their beliefs about heaven on Earth, their heavy preaching efforts seem very pointless. They describe a picture book paradise that is socially irrelevant to simple and advanced populations alike and the concepts make the total disintegration in the fire they preach about seem almost preferable.

Uh...do u know what u r talking about?

NO

Rather iterseting....I cant really follow though..The whole no birthday thing kills me

These people are highly decieved, and in their own little world.

I kno next to nothing bout this religion, other than that they do not celebrate holidays

Baptist!

if these mutha fuckas knock on my door n tell me im going 2 hell ONE MORE TIME...I WILL GO 2 HELL....look at what this shit did 2 michael jackson

Another man made cult of the 19th century apostate movement.

fuck you

This isn't too far different from Moromonism except I know fewer nice people who follow it, I agree less with the principles, and they show up on my door step more.

Dorks.

...Ok, what I don't understand is that if there are supposably a certain number of people allowed into heaven...then why are you trying to get me to join? Wouldn't it be better to never tell anyone about your religion if you believ that a set number of people are allowed into heaven and that's it. I could be taking your place. And where would that leave you?

More possible than other religions. not quite focused on proving what happens after death, but more on how you should act. keeps people happy and from killing eachother. more successful than christians.

They dont know how to have fun

Pretty kool

i got a pamplet! (sp)

Do not get me started on this religion

Most Jehohova's witnesses only want to get the word out but sometimes they can be a little forceful... from my experience, so I give them 3 stars for dedicating their life to the GOOD NEWS about Jesus Christ!

Michael Jackson? Enough said!

Annoying as they are... And they know they are.... they also have faith.
