Is it safe to join the Jehovahs Witnesses ?

My mother was a Jehovah's Witness when I was very young. She was basically told to abandon her entire family (mother, father, sister and husband) if they didn't convert to their way of thinking. She had a miscarriage in her 4th month of pregnancy and hemorraged to the point of dying because as per her religious beliefs she refused a blood transfusion. My father threatened the doctor that if he didn't give her the blood she needed he would take it out of him personally! She got the transfusion and lived, thank goodness. To say the least my father told her she give up the religion or he was taking me and my brother and leaving. She "saw the light" of reason. Any time you mention the words Jehovah's Witness around her now she gets very angry at herself for believing what they said. I have a very hard time with them and my view is they are nothing more than a cult.

how about you? what do you think of them? i know some people in jehovahs witnesses and i think all religion have their own believing.And i think its depends with the people how did they find their ways of believing.But i hope that any kind of religion we have we still love one another despite of religion.

Well, how do you want to live your life? In captivity like a caged animal who does everything when someone tells you that you can? Or with freedom? Are you a Christian now? If not, before you make such an important decision you need to do a lot of research and reading. In my opinion the JWs are a dangerous cult, they separate you from secular friends and family, and will control all aspects of your life. You will never feel that you are good enough for God or the rest of the congregation. If thats what you want for you life, give the jws a call. If you want love, acceptance and Christian freedom, call a bible based church.

safe enough, unless you need a blood transfusion. some are okay, some aren't my dads side of the family were Jehavahs Witnesses. my Mums side, Pagan. I followed in the maternal line. but JWs can be okay. although I tend to prefer Mormons as people to talk to. the only thing that really bothers me is if they refuse their children blood transfusions, when they're children are too young to know if they're willing to die for a religious ideal.

Hi there, Personally speaking, I think they can be a rude bunch, in my area I found that these people were always turning up around lunch or dinner times and very persistant on coming inside our house, after my husband or myself have told them to leave and that we're not interested, they just keep pushing, so now we keep our pitbull chained to the car, and I see them pacing back and forward past our drive way, I know they wont dear come up our drive way ever again, but fancy having to resort to putting our dog there... Personally I think they are rude and they change certaint writings in the bible to suit their religion "called Tampering and Judging"... I cant relate to that religion anyway, because I strongly respect my own culture, which they dont agree with and judge in every way... How I know this, is because my sister in law is a jehovah witness and said to her husband "my brother" if he doesnt get baptised with them hes not seeing his children. So I choose to stay right away from this religion, due to experience and what we've seen... But then thats a little hand ful of jehovah witnesses around our area, the rest could be different. Ive often wondered can these people be reported to there own founders or what?

Do not join the JW. They are Cults and dangerous as they are not following the original teaching of Bible. Many of their teaching and context are not right at all. They are very smart approaching people and cunning by putting down the Bible's scriptures to support their teaching which is false. Those with strong Bible knowledge are easy to discover this. My advise to you is not to join them. If you are a still a non-believer of Jesus Christ, please do some reseach and study before you join certain Church.

its probally safe to join it appart from when you knock on some nutters door and they swing for you , but why would you want to? your basically going bugging people trying to change there relgion when they dont want to hear it , people know there own religion and shouldnt need to be told what there religion is
