A large number Jehovah's witnesses (in person) have this secreted attributes of not letting or bringing to public, most of their beliefs (is it because of the impression majority have on them?). In my own view, I think the impression has nothing to do with the religion but particular persons in the religion (who overreact). Therefore, why blame religion over a person's action?
.
A life experience between a Witness and a guy he met on field ministry.
.

I actually one day noticed a Witness in the field service preaching to a guy. On the long run, he offered the guy a tract and Awake! then the guy also brought a brochure to offer to the witness and said 'if you take mine, I'll take yours.' The witness responded: 'sorry, I am not allowed to collect that from you but you may have mine.' The guy fired back 'why?' The witness responded 'because mine teaches about God's kingdom.' The guy was like 'mine teaches about Satan's kingdom, right?' (...)
.
.
You may be thinking sth, well this attitude by this Witness was unprofessional and ego-centric. The Witnesses are taught in the Theocractic Ministry school, accompanied with the Reasoning From The Scriptures reference booklet to - not only try to let people see their points while preaching, but also -- hear others view. Therefore, what do we call that witness above? Well, unprofessional. Some other things alike too happen, like when they invite you over to the Kingdom Halls and you invite them to a Church Crusade; some will be all rejection. Well, here are things you never knew:
.
1. They do not have their own bible. I get this all the time that their Bible is quite very distinct from others. How true is this? Well, let me surprise you, they only rewrote a modern-word version of still, the original bible manuscripts that every other bible translator wrote from. In the New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures, the name of God, Jehovah, is used more than in other bible translation who replaced it with 'Lord'.
.
2. They believe people will go to heaven. Yes, they do, they believe a small number will make heaven and the righteous rest, inherit the earth, the promised paradise.
.
3. They don't do birthdays and festive periods like Christmas, Halloween, Easter etc. Halloween apart which is somewhat demonic, they believe that the outcome of the people who celebrated birthdays in the Bible took bloodshed (Pharoah's birthday,John the Baptist head). And for Christmas, it's pagan; Jesus was not born on Christmas day, which is true.
.
4. They are not a cult group. Believe me when I tell you this, all their teachings are focused on the Bible. If a Witness made a misuse of the bible, it's imperfection and not because 'he is a Witness, that's what they do'.
.
5. A woman can not lead the flock. Yes, this is driven from the new testament where Paul etc., took on the congregation of God. A man is the head, so it is.
.
Some other things are clapping to praise songs, using their Kingdom melodies, etc. Truth is, before you judge, do some research, some things you judge are actually how it should be.

Add that they believe the end of the world is coming and if people don't join them your Jehovah will slaughter them and their children

Add that they shun people who leave their religion
Add that they would rather see their children die than give them blood transfusion

Add that they have predicted the end of the world numerous times and it failed

please wake up already. even those who don't believe in the bible know that there is great calamity coming soon. they call it doomsday. with the rate of crime, violence, hatred, injustice, war, poverty, global climate change, overpopulation, nuclear threat...and so on, they know there will be a tipping point.
the earlier you begin to see it the better. its so pathetic when people always attribute the doctrines of jw to "our leaders", its an indication that they listen and believe more of what people (opposer's) say than investigate the facts.

OK, is there anything wrong in having people take the lead among Gods people? No. Paul and Barnabas an the others where first century Christians who took the lead and encouraged the brothers to uphold Gods standard. they were not masters of their faith. they helped people to maintain faith.

its the same thing today...which person who reads the bible and doesn't know that Christians should quit mixing with an unrepentant person in the congregation? Paul and the other first century brothers who took the lead had to excommunicate from the congregation certain ones who were unrepentant. the standard shouldn't change today. people oppose jw for upholding this scriptural standard of disfellowshipping which the bible clearly support in order to keep the congregation clean.

who doesn't know from reading the bible that blood = life as seen in the bible. and as sacred as it is we cannot/should not use it in any way we see fit because it amounts to disrespect of the giver of life? people will still oppose jw for upholding bible standard.

from reading the bible who doesn't know that God has said he will destroy this present world of wickedness because it reflects the thinking of its ruler Satan? when people like jw who believe this allow it to affect their lifestyle and decisions people start opposing, saying all sort of things against.

who doesn't know from reading the bible that Jesus set an example for us to follow his steps closely. people hate it to see jw preaching and teaching, doing what they can to imitate Christ.

we have come to understand that the tendencies of people today has already been explained in the bible so we are not surprised. in case you haven't noticed, the world propagates an independent spirit. the world today teaches you to kick back at any counsel, principle standard or guideline. it tells you that you can be whatever you want to be. and a lot of folks have adopted this standard, hence they oppose whoever tries to uphold the bibles standard. but we have to be under some kind of authority as humans, and if we are to survive the end of this system(the bible says this world of ungodly humans will be destroyed. those taking the lead among jw did not say so)we need to obey God implicitly.

if our lord Jesus had come in our day today, a lot of you folks will act against him. because many have adopted the worlds way of thinking and you will find whoever applying the bibles reasoning to be backward and naive.

Christ came for the sinners, JWs are here for the righteous.

You shall not Judge.....JWs believe they have the right to judge someone as an unrepentant sinners...pls who gave them that power. I guess they now see themselves as God.

Do not add or subtract from the Word, JWs have done that and continue to do so, with their new translations everyday.

Give importance to blood over Life......certainly not the teaching of Jesus......after all Jesus shed his blood for u and I, if they r to abstain from blood, let dem abstain from the blood of Jesus also.

I think people rather feel judged with the message. jw don't believe that they are the only ones who will be saved.

we preach to everyone we meet (lowly and poor, rich and arrogant)we don't judge. judging is not ours but Gods. but that doesn't mean that we can't point at and identify characteristics not in harmony with the bible. Jesus and even the early Christians did that. it didn't amount to being judgemental. it is Gods responsibility to judge.

you cannot compare Jesus shed blood on our behalf to a human taking blood from another. there really is no correlation between them. the very mighty and obvious being that God commanded Jesus to die in our behalf but God has not even suggested that we save ourselves with another mans blood. instead he has commanded that we abstain from blood because it is a misuse of life.

try this, go find out what blood really is, what it is composed of in its entirety - you will understand why blood is life and cannot be used the way we see fit.

Christ said no greater love than for a man to lay down his life for his friend.??........if life =blood to JW. So this also means there's no greater love than for a man to shed his blood for his friend.

I want you to make the same remark to the Catholic and Orthodox for etching the name of God, Jehovah on their buildings.
Read the Catholic encyclopedia in the link and send a letter to the Pope including the exact statement that you made in your comment. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08329a.htm
They will chew you the way worms feast on dead beavers.
You will only sound audacious with the Jehovah's witnesses because of their peace-loving attitude.
There are thousands of religions out there. As a sage with spiritual insight, do tell at least about 20 religions that are true and 20 that are false so that the public can identify which truly leads to the kingdom of God.
I await your candid response.

I am surprised that you have not a pinch of knowledge about your own belief. It is shocking! People like you have no spot in criticising anyone for his belief because you cannot explain or defend your own faith.
Oruma, if I had asked you about witches, you would have detailed it out to me. You are well-grounded in fetish or superstitious beliefs. By your name, I can complete the story that you are telling.
Simply, you have no religion and no belief.
Jesus gave a new covenant and that is different from the covenant given to the Jews. Jesus' teachings were strange to the Jews and they killed him. Jesus amended the laws given to the Jews. Christians are called followers of Christ. Jews are not followers of Christ.
The Bible spoke about the spiritual Isreal of God, not Spiritual Jews. If you are a spiritual jew, can you back it up with the Bible since you confirm that it is enough?
