    Most Jehovah's Witnesses are, in all sincerity, doing their best to serve God. They are like the Jews of whom Paul wrote, "...they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God." (Rom. 10:2-3)

    The vast majority of Jehovah's Witnesses are victims of victims--blind followers of blind guides. They need to escape from the salvation-through-works treadmill that makes them obedient slaves of a multi-billion dollar religious empire. They need liberation from the oppressive yoke that weighs down on their shoulders; yet they have been led to believe that it is the very carrying of that yoke that will save them--and that anyone who seeks to dissuade them is a deceiver sent by Satan.

    A quasi christian denomination that has an interpretation of the bible and if you do not follow the rules of their organization then you cannot gain salvation. I say quasi because they believe Jesus is an angel named Micheal.

    As individuals they are pretty much the same as anyone else. Some nice, some mean.

    They come to your house. They f^ck stuff up. They leave.

    XD jk, they just come to your house on a day like Sunday and talk to you about their religion. It's like a conversion sort of, but way less intense. They keep coming though. o.O

    It depends on what you're asking as to what answer I should give, so I'll just give you both.

    How would you describe a Jehovah's Witness "religiously"?

    Jehovah's Witnesses take the Bible as God's authority and thus strive to live their lives in complete accordance with God's will as outlined therein. They teach ONLY the truth of God's Word and follow it strictly and do their utmost to share the wonderful truths about Jehovah God with as many people who will listen!

    How would you describe a Jehovah's Witness "personality"?

    Jesus Said that the identifying marl of true Christians would be their love. Thus, Jehovah's Witnesses are kind, gentle, loving people, even when others persecute and mistreat them. They are truly unified worldwide and express that love above racial, cultural, ethnic, moral, and class distinctions.

    Even many powerful officials have acknowledged the kindness displayed by Jehovah's Witnesses as being unique to us.

    But if you really want to know what kind of people we are, then why not go see for yourself? Check out your local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses. Our services are open to the public and held free of charge. No collection plate is ever passed and you won't be asked to give your bank account information to someone "in charge" like at so many other churches. Test us out and seewhatt kind of response you get when you get there! You'll probably think it's too good to be true. But it isn't! Our love for people and the kindness that we show are real!

    Look at their version of John 1:1 and look at the regular Bible version of it. Big difference.

    They think they're right, and they are quite persistent. They are judgmental, and quick to excommunicate a member who isn't being a good "witness". This happened to a dying patient of mine and his wife because they weren't going door to door. He was bedbound. They also refused to baptize a woman who smoked cigarettes. Jesus didn't put conditions on people before He healed them. They don't celebrate holidays, which Jesus did. They mean well, but they have been fooled by the closeness of the organization. They don't even call themselves a church. I pray for them, and I pray for scriptural wisdom for them. It is clear in the Bible that the 144,000 spoken of are actually the 12 tribes of Israel, not their organization. I believe most of the Jehovah's Witnesses think that they have the Bible right, but my prayer is that they'll look more into it. By simply asking God to fill you with the Holy Spirit before reading the Bible gives you a much greater understanding. Just the Holy Bible. No other readings but the Bible. God bless!

    One thing I do agree with them about is the Sabbath. I wish more Christian churches would change it back to Saturday. The Catholic church had no right to change it.
