1. They don’t vote, or affiliate with any political party.
2. They are anti-nationalist,
3. They don’t make excuses when they fall short, and take responsibility for their action. Even as they feel that evil is the temptation of Satan, they are accountable for the choices they make.
4. They worship only one god, and honor Jesus as the king of their prophets. The Messiah, king messenger of their god.
5. They actually read and study the Bible.
6. They are anti-war, pro-pacifism, pro-altruism, pro-humanitarians, and pro-environmentalism.
I’m an agnostic who has a couple of friends in the Jehovah Witness religion. It seems that Jehovah Witness are a treat to those who have uses for religion other than serving their god, like controlling followers of Christianity for political use.
Thank you for your kind words.
The conscientious neutrality of Jehovah’s witnesses has been perceived as a threat to many national groups. Thousands of JW’s have been imprisoned and died because of it. Go figure.

I don’t believe Christian’s for the most part hate JW’s. We simply believe they are misguided by an organization which claims to be the exclusive line of communication between God and man and yet we know that their organization does not measure up to the biblical standard set to test those who truly speak for God.
I have seen more Jehovah Witness have unhealthy, unmerciful, and unpeaceful home lives than any other religion. I had never witnessed or seen what you describe, not at all. I am Christian and Catholic, and I do not hate any Jehovan Witness, just feel so sorry for him, pray for their lost souls, that they can come back to the fold,
The bible warned that the true followers of Jesus will be hated.
Matt 24:9 niv
9″Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
Christians don’t hate the people, but they do dislike the religion. Thats one messed up church in my opinion.
I don’t hate J.W. – they are free to believe as they wish – just like everyone else is too. They seem to be very devoted good people….
JWs are certainly sincere and devoted to trying to do all the right things they think are necessary to survive Armageddon. They also believe this so keenly, they spend lots of time trying to warn other people about Armageddon, and that people must become JWs in order to survive it. No Christians hate them for that!
What troubles most of us on here is that we cannot reach through to the JWs about the danger of them preaching another gospel to the biblical one – which is incredibly dangerous for them, and those who listen to them. The JWs have closed their minds to the possibility that they might have a false gospel. They insist that only they have the true gospel!
It’s not how they live their lives that’s the problem – it’s how their leaders are actively preventing millions of them from entering into the Kingdom of God. They do this by telling JWs that they don’t need to be born again to be saved. This violates Jesus’ very own words in John chapter 3! He said that unless we are born from above, we cannot see the Kingdom, let alone enter into it! But 99.9% of them cheerfully admit that they’re not born again, nor need they. They think only 144,000 people need to be born again. This fills Christians with dismay!
The apostle John said that all who receive Jesus, who believe in His name, have the RIGHT to be born of God (John 1:11-13). If JWs have received Jesus and have belived in His name for salvation, they must exercise their RIGHT to be born of God, but every memorial night, they refuse to do that, passing on the bread and wine as proof. And they want born again believers to join them in rejecting that provision of the new birth? It’s incredible that a dozen or so men in America can so control 15 million people. If we hated JWs, we would not strive to waken them out of this spiritual stupor.
I am a Christian and I don’t hate anyone. Jehovah Witness’, Buddhists, Muslims, Atheist, or Agnostics.
There are many people who wear religion as a badge and they give a bad rep to Christ and to Christianity. A person who loves his/her God is a person who is filled with love and compassion, not judgment or condemnation. Jehovah Witness’ are in my opinion a devout population of believers who will likely be received and rewarded in heaven.
Religion should have no part in politics. A person should never vote based upon a political party either, while I’m making a comment on the subject. If a person chooses to vote, they should base their vote on the candidatee, separate from his or her party affiliation.
The religions and religious leaders of Jesus day hated him and what he taught. Why? Because Jesus exposed their lies. Jesus also said a slave is not greater than his master, if they hated him, his followers would be hated also. Matthew 24:9 “Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. 10 Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another.
John 15:20 Bear in mind the word I said to YOU, A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute YOU also; if they have observed my word, they will observe YOURS also. 21 But they will do all these things against YOU on account of my name, because they do not know him that sent me
So all who claim to be christian and are hateful when a witness comes to your door, who is acting like a christian? They are not ashamed of being a follower of Jesus Christ. Jesus was persecuted. He said his followers would be too.
Matthew 5:10 “Happy are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them
,11 “Happy are YOU when people reproach YOU and persecute YOU and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against YOU for my sake. 12 Rejoice and leap for joy, since YOUR reward is great in the heavens; for in that way they persecuted the prophets prior to YOU.
