Why Are So Many People On This Site So Anti-Jehovah Witness?
93 Answers
Yesterday, I was out walking when I noticed a lot of people around the estate. They were Jehovah's Witnesses. Having engaged in conversation I had a leaflet advertising a website JW.Org. From the conversation I found them to be polite, happy and they made no attempt to convert me. They didn't even ask where I lived or my name, they were quite happy to just stand and talk.

idiosyncrasy, I take umbrage. Indeed I do!
All I offered was truth. And if it had a scintilla of silliness in its context, it's no sillier than the utter tripe you're persistently regurgitating and trying to promulgate. If I have someone constantly trying to feed me ipecac, then I prefer to buffer it with a bit of humour. It makes each day in life much easier to live...especially when the bottle carriers are constantly knocking at my door!
No, idio; I could have. I most certainly could have. But believe me, I didn't! So, perhaps you should just go Vitam Vive, Ama Vitam!

idiosyncrasy, //I don't "belong" to any church. I don't attend any church.//
So when you said this .........
//I would have you know that my church does a lot for charity in many different ways. //
... what were you talking about?
And I'm not obsessed - simply bemused at all the doublespeak that emanates from the mouths of many of the religious. What are they afraid of?

I'm delighted to cite some of the Fuad Nahdi interview (if the same point had been made by a critic of Islam it would be shouted down by the bien pensants (Standup - you know who you are!) as paranoia, bigotry, Islamophobia, or whatever):
"Q: How did this extremist thinking become so prevalent in a faith and culture that tends not to be extremist?
A: It's not something that happened overnight. It has taken decades to develop. According to intelligence reports during the last 30 years, investment has been put into this extremist ideology. We are talking estimates of over US$15 billion. To the best of our knowledge, there is no ideology in the history of mankind that had such massive resources put into it on a global level.
...
The crux of the matter is the theology. Islam is a belief system. It's a series of mistakes, one after another -- of bad analyses, reactionary negative responses and just total misunderstanding. To counter, we're trying to sustain and nurture a mainstream form of Islam that has been lost for decades now. We want to define Islam, not by the terms given it by the extremist and the radical elements".

You know in spite of the fact that the Bible is the world’s all-time best seller, and in some countries nearly every home has a copy, there is still widespread moral confusion.
It show that merely possessing the Bible—and even reading it—does not guarantee that you have learned to tell right from wrong. James 2: 23-24.

If what you've written is true, and obviously you believe it, then it suggests the bible isn't perfect. You also believe the bible is the word of god, why then would god want to create moral confusion?
