Are Jehovah's Witnesses apostates full of bitterness?

You have no idea how ugly it gets! And 'LB' is toning it down just for you. I have seen a lot on here but no point in giving you links.

I will just give you a couple scriptures these are oh sooo true! Proverbs 10:9 He that is walking in integrity will walk in security, but he that is making his ways crooked will make himself known Proverbs 11:20 Those crooked at heart are something detestable to Jehovah, but the ones blameless in their way are a pleasure to him Rarely does an apostate change but it does happen. I actually have seen it happen here on Yahoo, so as long as Jehovah lets this system continue, we can see great things!

Thanks for your great Q's BTW!

Sometimes, leaving a religion can be profoundly painful. I know this from personal experience. There are some people who were abused as children in the name of religion, or who invested a great deal of their lives in that religion only to feel used and disillusioned.

For them, walking away can be a very difficult psychological process. It can take a lot of talking, including a lot of venting, to get past the experience. It's not just Jehovah's Witnesses; there are former adherents of many different religions who are quick to openly criticize their former faith.

They also want to warn others against having the same kind of negative experience that they feel they had. Over time, these people will either move on, or they won't. But that's up to them.

When I'm curious about a religion, I look at reactions from people who left, as well as people who are presently in the religion. It's important, in my opinion, to hear what former members have to say and why they're saying it.

The answer is Satan the Devil. Apostates are so full of bitterness and hate. How ironic.

Many of the apostates that leave "claim" to still serve Jehovah God, but without forming part of his organization. By constantly BASHING and ATTACKING Jehovah's Witnesses they prove not to be God's people. Apostates don't show their love but on the contrary show their TRUE form: HATE.

2 Corinthians 4:4 says: "among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through. " Apostates have left the truth and make it their PRIORITY to keep others from learning the truth. What are apostates doing?

The same thing Satan does: BLINDING people.

I am a Jehovah's Witness and I can't understand that either. They take out ads in our local paper giving a phone number to call and when you call the number it is a recording about something that doesn't even pertain to us. That costs a lot of money.

But like the Bible says people will persecute you and lie about you and put some of you in jail and kill you.. We have brothers in other countries that have been in jail for years just because they are Jehovah's Witnesses. Women too. (Matthew 24:9-13) 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.11 And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; 12 and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off.13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.

I'll be frank people who leave a religion generally leave with a negative opinion of things. Although frankly I don't understand the reason why to take it out on people who are perfectly content in their religious leanings. I don't mind a few acidic barbs from those who leave, after all who is happy?

The ones who leave or those they have left behind? Frankly the bitter conversations and diatribe left behind makes me doubt whether or not they are truly happy to begin with. As far as I am concerned The LDS Church and the Jehovah Witnesses are not going anywhere, so why bother being so negative about it?

" Yeppers and they're also full of a whole lot of other "stuff" too. Ciao :-D ***EDIT: if you haven't visited or researched it for yourself yet, here is an awesome that totally exposes false charges made against Jehovah's Witnesses. Find what you are looking for by using the highlighted category links or by using specific words IN ANY LANGUAGE in the search boxes.

Although not an official and or authorized website of Jehovah's Witnesses it is an awesome site nonetheless and is a website which I frequent when engaged in personal study of various topics that opposers and apostates falsely accuse us of...

Because inside of themselves they become dead-- they have to reason falsly to try and feel alive, and after awhile convince themselves what they think is true and like robots automatically believe anything said against what they once believed, not even bothering to find out if its truth or not, in their false reasoning it automatically becomes truth.

Apostates speak things that are blasphemy towards Jehovah God, abusive speech. They want people to be alienated from Jehovah God, not knowing They spread false religion and lies. As for Jehovah Witnesses we speak the truth about Jehovah God.

Defending We live our lives in harmony with the Bible. We imitate Jesus Christ. Our literature are based on the Bible.

We give Scriptures, truths and facts. Why don't you try speaking with the Jehovah Witnesses in your area. You will see we want people to draw close to Jehovah God as Jehovah God draws close to us."

Draw close to God, and he will draw close to YOU. Cleanse YOUR hands, YOU sinners, and purify YOUR hearts, YOU indecisive ones. "-James 4:8.

They think they are doing us a favor. answers.yahoo.com/question/index;… They think they have the "real truth" about us. Which is laughable at best..

I can only speak for myself, but they don't just let people walk away. They insist that your family turn against you and treat you like garbage. It's not so much the religious aspect for me, but the human rights violations.

I don't currently have a religion to peddle, so in absence of one I just let people know what I found out and experienced as a witness. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't take much time. I'd be surprised if I spend more than 30 mins total here on any given day.

Saved search feature is a great time saver.

Most of them are lazy and are just waiting for the world to end, so they can get the rich folks homes. They also go around on Sunday mornings and knock on doors of rich people. If the people aren't home they usually break in and help themselves.It's kind of like passing the collection plate to support their cause.

Jehovah is Jesus Those that Do NOT Believe that Jehovah is Jesus will die in their sins. Jesus says so. Jesus Claimed to be Jehovah.

Deuteronomy 32:39 (Jehovah witness Bible) SEE now that I—I am he And there are no gods together with me. I put to death, and I make alive. I have severely wounded, and I—I will heal, And there is no one snatching out of my hand.

Note: In Deuteronomy 32:39 Jehovah is I am John 8:24 (Jehovah witness Bible) Therefore I said to YOU, YOU will die in YOUR sins. For if YOU do not believe that I am he, YOU will die in YOUR sins Note: in John 8:24 Jesus says I am. Jesus claimed to be Jehovah God.

If you do not believe that Jesus is I am Jehovah God you will die in your sins. Jesus said so. Isaiah 43:10-11 (Jehovah witness Bible) “YOU are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “even my servant whom I have chosen, in order that YOU may know and have faith in me, and that YOU may understand that I am the same One.

Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none. 11 I—I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior. ” Note: There is only One God, Jehovah and only Jehovah God can be the savior, there is no savior besides Jehovah Luke 2:11 (Jehovah witness Bible) because there was born to YOU today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, in David’s city.

Note: in Luke 2:11 Jesus is savior but in Isaiah 43:10-11 only Jehovah can be the savior. There is no other savior besides Jehovah. Mathew 1:23 (Jehovah witness Bible) “Look!

The virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Im·man´u·el,” which means, when translated, “With Us Is God. ” Note: in Matthew 1:23 Jesus is called immanuel which means With Us Is God Isaiah 10:20-21 (Jehovah witness Bible) And it will certainly occur in that day that those remaining over of Israel and those who have escaped of the house of Jacob will never again support themselves upon the one striking them, and they will certainly support themselves upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in trueness. 21 A mere remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the Mighty God.

Note: in Isaiah 10:20-21 Jehovah is Called Mighty God Isaiah 9:6 (Jehovah witness Bible) For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. Note: in Isaiah 9:6 Jesus is Born to us and he is called Mighty God Revelation 1:8 (Jehovah witness Bible) “I am the Al´pha and the O·me´ga,” says Jehovah God, “the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.”

Note: Jehovah did come to us. Jehovah said I am the one who was and who is coming. Jesus is Jehovah God.

Jesus is the one who was and who is. John 1:1 (King James) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 (Jehovah witness Bible) in the Jehovah witness bible John 1:1 is in error In the beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.

Jesus is not a god. Jehovah is Jesus according to Revelation 1:8, according to Deuteronomy 32:39 there are no gods with Jehovah. John 1:1 in the Jehovah witness bible is in error.

First born over all creation in colossians 1:15 its a title of high rank. David who was the last one born in his family ( 1 Chronicles 2:13-15 ) was called first born by God ( Psalm 89:20,27). First born in Colossians 1:15 is a title of high rank.It does NOT say first creation anywhere in scripture.

Jehovah is our savior not an angel. An Angel CANNOT save you of your sins. Only Jehovah God can be the Savior.

Isaiah 43:10-11 Jesus Resurrection is Physical (see Luke 24:310-11) Those that teach Jesus Resurrected Spiritual and not of the flesh is of the Anti Christ (see 2 John 1:7) 2 John 1:7 KJV For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

I literally set out booby traps when I see them walking around my neighborhood.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
