Do the so-called JWs have all the answers to all the questions in this category?

No, we do not have all of the answers in our head, sometimes we have to search for the answer, not bragging, but I have quite a bit of Bible Knowledge in by brain, but if you have ever noticed, my answers are usually one of the last to be posted.\n\nIn fact "Schnab" paid me a compliment to day, he used the word "expositor", I e-mailed him & thanked him.

An excellent list. And there isn't a christian that can deny the utter stupidity of the bible when presented with these outright contradictions.\nI mean, how can a "perfect" being's manifesto be so chock full of mistakes?

For one thing, the leaders of the JW church have been false prophets since the church was founded.  They have prophesized that Jesus was returning on this date or that date many times without it coming true.  They finally said that Jesus returned 'spiritually' which ended their predictions.  God tells us to test the spirits and false prophets are not to be listened to.  In addition, the belief of the JW church that Jesus was not ressurected bodily from the dead goes against Scripture and is an essential tenet of the Christian faith.  They do not believe that Jesus was fully God and fully man.  They only believe that Jesus was a man until He was ressurected ad divine spit creature.  Another essential of the Christian faith.  They believe in Annihilationism rather than eternal hell.  They do not believe in the Trinity doctrine but believe that Satan instigated the belief in the Trinity.  Another essential.  There are many, many more issues that come in conflict with Christianity that are too many to mention here.  This is aside from issues like not going to war because human government is not to be followed, not celebrating birthdays because every reference in the Bible that refers to a celebration results in death and things like refusing life saving blood transfusions.  The main things that concern the Christian Church are the essentials, a few of which I have mentioned.  Those, and other things that are in direct conflict with the Bible, are the things that make the JW church unchristian.  Hope this helps.  Blessings.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not keep a central list of all Jehovah's Witnesses, but they are well known for the family-like unity.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/jt/\nhttp://jw-media.org/people/statistics.htm

No.  I ask the questions to which I want to know the answer.  I ask them once.  My questions have nothing to do with my own faith/religion or lack thereof.  They mostly have to do with my ignorance of other religions.

No, these questions would go where they fit, in the mythology and folklore section. There's only a separate section for religion because people would get offended if there weren't. Personally I would be back answering computer and internet questions without this section, most likely. That's where the first five hundered or so of my answers are. Did quite well there. In fact I'll likely go back there at some point anyway, stay there for a while, then come back here, rinse, repeat. They both interest me.

Go to http://www.watchtower.org\nIt's the only official website of Jehovah's Witnesses, and should be able to answer any questions you have.\n\nClick here http://www.watchtower.org/library/jt/article_03.htm for a comprehensive chart with scriptures that detail all of our beliefs (scroll to bottom for chart).

Yes, go to religion & check out Ellis D - his questions have me\nlaughing - pre-party.\nI'm serious, they're not religious, I don't know how they ended\nup there. \nI have voted his doggie paddle/bird nest question "Best \nQuestion Ever" - I know you'll agree!\n\nOr click my avatar - you'll see his avatar under the questions \nI've answered - it's worth it!

the answers (and questions) in the religous section are more straight forward. unlike much moronic , stupid questions and answers contained in other yahoo categories. says a lot for the believers out there if i do say so myself.

Not all the categories are like that. I have asked many questions about science, law, history, etc and gotten lots of good information.\nBut, as the others pointed out, this is the religious forum. And for every religious zealot, there is another atheistic zealot ready to pounce on them. It goes back and forth.\nI come here for the few honest questions that get posed. And sometimes I'm able to give helpful answers or advice. But I have to admit, I do get sucked into answering the stupid questions along the way.\nIs there some kind of "Yahoo Answerer Anonymous"?

Jehovah Witness is in fact a cult. Several ex followers have spoke out about them and there is a ton of anti sites and articles on them. \n\n I personally don't have any respect for cults period.

There are not enough real Jehovah's Witnesses here on Yahoo Answers.

Don't listen to these people, besides eating & drinking, the next thing is negative answers, which most of them just sit and wait for a ??? like yours.\n\nAsk them "how many became members of your religious organization?" last year.\n\nLast year 2005, 247,631, became Jehovah's Witnesses and everyone of these had to change their minds pertaining to the false teachings that they had been taught, these were people that used their own Bible, King James, etc., 28,384 were from the United States. \n\nAsk them "how many buildings to worship in did you build last year?\n\nDuring the service year, 2,340 Kingdom Halls were completed around the world. This represents an average of 195 halls per month, or just over 6 per day! Since November 1999 when the construction program in lands with limited resources began, 7,730 Kingdom Halls have been built. In many areas, once a hall is finished, meeting attendance soars and halls are soon filled to capacity.\n\nBy the way "lightblue 100" most of what he says is "untrue" "lie" this person just hates Jehovah's Witnesses, which he has a right to do so, or he is one of many "disfellowshipped" who have nothing better to do, but  to talk in a negative way and why? \n\nSome of the offenses that could merit disfellowshipping from the Christian congregation are fornication, adultery, homosexuality, greed, extortion, thievery, lying, drunkenness, reviling, spiritism, murder, idolatry, apostasy, and the causing of divisions in the congregation.\n\nBelieve me, the best thing to happen in your lifetime is this:  Become a Jehovah's Witness and have a future, which they do not, remember what King David said in chapter 37 of Psalms\n\n9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off,\nBut those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.\n\n11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,\nAnd they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.\n\n22 For those being blessed by him will themselves possess the earth,\nBut those upon whom evil is called by him will be cut off.\n\n29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,\nAnd they will reside forever upon it.\n\n34 Hope in Jehovah and keep his way,\nAnd he will exalt you to take possession of the earth.\nWhen the wicked ones are cut off, you will see [it].\n\n40 And Jehovah will help them and provide them with escape.\nHe will provide them with escape from wicked people and save them,\nBecause they have taken refuge in him.

Jehovah's Witnesses have the true religion. Consider:\n\n1. True Christianity draws its teachings exclusively from the bible, rather than from philosophy. Doctrines such as Trinity, hellfire, and immortality are not found in the bible.\n(Mark 7:7) It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach as doctrines commands of men.\n\n2. True Christianity works to make known God's personal name. No group has done more to advocate that name than Jehovah's Witnesses .\n(John 17:6) I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world.\n\n3. True Christianity recognizes the active role of Christ as heavenly King NOW, not just as a storybook character in a manger or dying helplessly. Witnesses look to Jesus as their Head and King who is ruling in heaven already.\n(John 3:36) He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; he that disobeys the Son will not see life\n\n4. True Christianity is not just formalism, but is a way of life for its adherents. Jehovah's Witnesses have a real reputation for honesty, integrity, and faith. Their worship shuns pageantry and sacerdotalisms.\n(Isaiah 1:15-17) Even though YOU make many prayers, I am not listening... Learn to do good; search for justice\n\n5. True Christianity is known by its members love for one another. Witnesses do not go to war, and do not take up arms against anyone much less members of their own religion.\n(John 13:35) By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.\n\n6. True Christianity is separate from the world. Unlike the clergy of Christendom, Jehovah's Witnesses remain neutral to human politics and nationalism, looking instead to God's Kingdom through Christ Jesus as the only solution for all mankind's problems.\n(John 15:19) Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you\n\n7. True Christians follow Jesus' command to preach. No religion has more prominently emphasized preaching by all its adherents around the globe.\n(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations

They probably did it because the Religion section is always been part of the "Society and Culture" section on their main page. \n\nHonestly, I'm surprised that the Bible thumpers went searching for it. I mean, you click on "Society and Culture" and it doesn't come up on the list, you have to actually go to "Cultures & Groups" and then "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered". That means, those Bible thumpers that are showing up are looking for the LGBT section on purpose. I honestly didn't know the LGBT section was here when I first got on Yahoo answers until I went looking. And finding the "Religion & Spirituality" section was rather easy since it comes up in the list after clicking on "Society and Culture". \n\nSo I figure, the ones that do post in this section (because they post in the Religion and Spirituality section, too) were definately looking for this section to begin with...it wasn't an accident. As far as I can tell, Yahoo seems to have almost hidden this section.
