Yes it was,\n\nHappy are you when people . . . lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake.—Matt. 5:11.\n\nJewish leaders said of the early Christians: “Truly as regards this sect it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.” (Acts 28:22) Paul and Silas were accused of having “overturned the inhabited earth,” acting “in opposition to the decrees of Caesar.” (Acts 17:6, 7) Such false accusations did not prevent the early Christians from carrying out their commission to preach the good news of the Kingdom. In 60-61 C.E., Paul was able to speak of the “good news” that was “bearing fruit and increasing in all the world” and that had been “preached in all creation that is under heaven.” (Col. 1:5, 6, 23) Today, Jehovah’s Witnesses are being falsely accused, even as the first-century Christians were. Yet, the work of preaching the Kingdom message prospers and brings those who share in it much happiness.

Jehovah's Witnesses both witness personally and bear witness to others regarding God's personal name, his majestic personality, and Kingdom purposes. In doing so, they align themselves with Jesus Christ and the prophets.\n\n(Isaiah 43:10) “You are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah\n\n(Isaiah 43:12) So you are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “and I am God.\n\n(Hebrews 12:1-2) Because we have so great a cloud of [Jehovah's] witnesses surrounding us, let us also put off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, as we look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus\n\n(Revelation 1:5) Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness”\n\n(Acts 5:38,39) Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, YOU will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, You may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/jt/\nhttp://jw-media.org/people/ministry.htm

I once had a biblical "match" with a Jehovah's witness and they ended up losing and I ended up converting them into Christianity.\n\nI have never met a salesman who was trying to sell me a product that I can actually use.Last salesman was trying to sell a photography service for 20 x the price of my local JC Penney's photography studio....\n\nI feel bad for them all....They are either brainwashed (the salesman) or they have nothing better to do (Jehovah's witnesses) And yes, I do mean it the way I wrote it. LOL

I think you should consider a study with Jehovah's Witnesses

Jehovah's Witnesses 'try to get others to join' because they are commanded to do so by Jesus himself. Any personal eventuality or preference is far less important than that command.\n\n(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you

Hi "One_man_woman",\nOne time, I was walking to the corner market for a loaf of bread when I had to pass by a neighborhood church. I was somewhat acquainted with the structure as it was always mentioned in the newspaper's community section. Known as "The loft," folks would gather there on Thursday evenings for poetry readings.\n\nHowever, this day happened to be a Saturday afternoon and a pair of gentlemen greeted me as I walked by. They invited me inside to sample an hour of their presentation. Ok, I went inside and found myself to be a prospective new recruit for their brand of religion.\n\nMost of the pews were filled with hooded monks chanting a haunting rhythm. There were others who like me, were wearing their regular denims. The service began like most other church-goers would be familiar with. A grand master of ceremonies led the group through some songs and gave a sermon. Near the end of the hour it was time for their ritual of "laying on of the hands." Some of the parishioners would come forward and ask for prayers for their ailments or a sick grand mum whom fell down in the tub. All the hooded dudes whose faces could not readily be seen would all place a hand on the person and their combined energies were presumed to have a strength and expedite a solution to the problem.\n\nOK now, there was another new guy in the pews who was watching eagerly. I noticed he had a shaky-leg syndrome. When he saw a chance, he approached the ring of conspirators and described how he never was able to settle down. The hooded goons closed in upon him, all to make a physical connection. The master of ceremonies began a prayer, a dogmatic mix of logic and pure hocus-pocus. I immediately saw the effects as the tension went out of the man's body. When the beseeching was near an end, the master asked, "Are the brothers ready?"\n\nA suspenseful few moments passed until he almost shouted, "NOW!"\n\nOn that cue, the brothers began to pummel their hapless victim. Continually delivering blows over head and to the solar plexus until he was down on the floor getting stomped. After another minute, the grand Pooh-Bah decided the treatment administered was sufficient to induce a relaxing calm that would assuage the nervousness for a long, long time.\n\nI can't say for certain that the syndrome was lifted permanently as I had a loaf of bread to buy and some other errands to do that day. I hope for you "One_man_woman", that you can find a cure.\n\n-Mark

Jehovah's Witnesses are not "bad".\n\nA common misconception is that Jehovah's Witnesses go from door-to-door because they feel it is their duty to get a householder to "question his beliefs". In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses would go from door-to-door even if there were no hope that anyone would change their religion, or even if no one would listen to them!\n\nThat is because Jesus Christ specifically assigned the house-to-house ministry to the Christian congregation, with no regard for specific results.\n\n(Luke 10:1,2) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come. 2 Then he began to say to them: “The harvest, indeed, is great, but the workers are few. Therefore beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.\n\nJehovah's Witnesses are trained to direct attention to the bible, and move on when their message is unwanted. Since each congregation in the United States tries to call at every home in its territory at least twice each year, there is strong motivation for them to move on where little interest is shown. Also, the Scriptures help the Witnesses to expect little interest from most:\n\n(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching ...and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/jt/

As one of Jehovah's witnesses, I can honestly tell you that yes going door to door is part of being a JW and that every one of us does it. The reason we go from door to door is a biblica command. Since you dont want quotes i won't put it here but there is a biblical reason for everything we practice including going from door to door. If you ask any Jehovah's Witness they can show you from your own bible. If you don't want Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on your door just tell them. We respect the wishes of others and if you ask us not to come back then we wont. I hope that answers your question.

I used to hide or open the door and immediately say that I was not interested.  Then I was fortunate enough to work with a girl that was a Jehovah.  She was so honest and truly lived my her religion.  She was not at all a hypocrite as some Mormons, Christians and Catholics I have know.  You know treat people badly, tell lies and get drunk, judge others and it is all okay just because you go to church on Sunday.  I never converted but I was truly fascinated by the religion.  How many other religions do you know that have faith so strong they spend hours and hours going door to door to tell everyone about it, despite being treated rudely by so many?  If you are reading this, it is for you Paula my friend!

The ignorance and utter cluelessness of some of the people responding to this question is absolutely amazing. For one thing, I've noticed that Jehovah's Witnesses' teachings can be backed up completely by the Bible, whether I use my King James Version or read through their New World Translation. \n\nTheir activity of going from door-to-door in talking to other people about the good news of God's Kingdom and what it will do for mankind is A COMMAND FROM CHRIST to true Christians. How many of you nutcases, and I'm speaking of FairyNanook, Jeffo, and Tabi, obey Jesus' command to go and preach to people? I bet not a single one of you, and I bet none of your churches teach that it's necessary, either. \n\nI found the fact that FairyNanook and Tabi made such ignorant and blatantly stupid comments against the activity of the Jehovah's Witnesses to be highly offensive, as I also find it offensive that they call themselves Christians. \n\nJesus Christ himself taught people about God's Kingdom and he showed them on a very small scale by his miraculous healings and the truths that he taught that it is God's Kingdom that will bring an end, very shortly, to the painful suffering of people today. How exactly is it wrong, Tabi, that Jehovah's Witnesses do the same thing? They help people to see the benefits that are soon to come to this earth when things like AIDS (as you mentioned) are wiped out forever? What exactly is so awful that the Witnesses teach people that the Kingdom will do this? \n\nMy goodness, you people really need a clue. "Only saved by Grace".....sure, that's a teaching in a Christian church, but certainly not a TRUE Christian church. Try calling yourself a Christian when you actually start obeying Christ by preaching to others.\n\n----------------------------------------\n\nLooks to me like FairyNanook isn't very Bible-smart. Here, you go Oh Very Spiritually Blind One: "Indeed, as the body without spirit is dead, so also FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD." (James 2:26) You can claim to have all the faith in the world, honey, but without the works to back up those claims, you're just talking into the wind. And while you're at it, I suggest you review the preaching assignment that Christ commanded his followers to engage in. The example was that they were to town to town, village to village, and DOOR TO DOOR. \n\nAnd doing so "for points"? Where in the world did you get that nonsense from? Jehovah's Witnesses do what they out of obedience to Jesus Christ, for one thing. They do it out of love for neighbor for another, and they do it because if they didn't, they would be considered bloodguilty before God. Your thoughts are seriously out of whack and you should be very concerned with the amount of ignorance you display here. \n\nIf you can't recognize that, then YOUR entire way of thinking is what is truly twisted and in deep error. I'm sure you think you teach or know truth, but honey, by your very own words, you're admitting to being one of Satan's blinded drones.\n\n-------------------------------------------------\n\nFinally! She admits that she doesn't have the slightest idea what she's talking about. She's happy to be blinded to the truths that are so clearly brought out in God's Word, the Bible. Perhaps we should all pray that her lack of spiritual understanding and her veil of Biblical ignorance be lifted, as what she thinks she knows now is only doing her more harm than anything else. \n\nAnd if anyone wants ACCURATE and TRUTHFUL information on what Jehovah's Witnesses teach and why......you would wisely steer clear of the trash sites she listed and go right to the official source:\n\n-------------------------------------------------\n\nThe ridiculousness of your comments, honey, is a very clear admission on your part (whether you think so or not). \n\n"Going to the Watchtower website wi
