    Jehovah's Witnesses are supposed to be "Christian". Yet their acts and attitudes are anything but. They look down upon anyone not a Witness. They are instructed to "hate" not just the sin but the sinner too! They do almost nothing for their "worldly" neighbors. Those that work all their lives in their "House of God, Bethel", are kicked to the curb because they get old and are no longer needed.

    When will Jehovah's Witnesses wake up and realize they are not remotely close to acting like Christians????

    I doubt the majority will ever see thru the smoke and mirrors of the mind controlled driven cult. Some will stay even if they do because of the socialism or the fear of losing freinds and family.

    It is sad but true.

    They have no need to wake up according to my jw he is perfect or nearly and is not a sinner. Can you imagine being so truly delusional? Of course ask him today and he will probably say he never said it, he is a quick study in that dept. Just like the borg, 'we never said that'.

    Probably never because they've convinced themselves and their faithful brainwashed followers that theirs is the only correct way, that they have a direct line to god, and that anything to the contrary is evil.

    JWs are really an offshoot of the Pharisees.

    That is the way the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger has programmed them. They have many a washtowel telling us that worldly people are wicked, evil, worshipers of Satan (and don't even know it), and that they are soon to be destroyed. And they tell us that the worldly people pollute the world. I remember a washtowel that told that the world is like polluted air, but rising to Jehovah's mountain would put one in cleaner air.

    Another way they use is the Grand Boasting Sessions. How many times does one hear about the dangers of association with worldly people? Just about every time, there are at least 4 or 5 talks mentioning this in some way or other, not including the never-ending prayer. They have skits about people that have cut themselves off from the world (except for field circus), and pioneered (as if that was a valid end result). And there are dramas about this, where a person was getting into worldly association and got hounded to quit lest they get destroyed).

    And for disfellowshipped people, it is even worse. The Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger has told people to positively hate such wicked people. I have seen many a washtowel warning people to stay away from disfellowshipped people lest they too end up disfellowshipped. To me, not only does that violate the Bible that they claim to venerate, but it violates their own principles of "love". Meaning that they are supposed to hate the sin, but see why the person is sinning (stagnation, perhaps, or herd mentality or stupidity) and help remove the underlying cause. They do nothing of the sort.

    JWs are not a Christian religion. They preach and teach solitary, selfishness. They pretend to be sincerely interested in saving lives yet their "ministry" is more about door knocking than it is about soul saving. Everything they do, they do as a front to show the "worldly" people how different (and better) they are.

    The book of James poses a problem for the Watchtower leadership. The book of James presents "caring for widows and fatherless boys" as a form of sacred service. Good works toward others which stems from neighborly love is presented as being an outward manifestation of Godly devotion. Yet, the Watchtower organization only recognizes "field service", meeting attendance, and work performed for Kingdom Halls and other Watchtower facilities as "sacred service".

    When Ed Dunlap wrote his commentary on the book of James, he saw paragraphs and paragraphs deleted and discarded from the final print. It wasn't that his presentations were unscriptural in any way. The problem was that many of the statements did not conform to the organization's philosophy of what constituted sacred service. The organization could not allow anything to go to print which might undermine the organizational pressure that is put upon the rank and file to produce high numbers, figures, and percentages. Instead of truly being organized and operating like the first-century congregation, the "congregation" of Jehovah's Witnesses is operated more in line with a multi-national corporation with layers of management overseeing 6 million sales reps.

    It is interesting that when an elder or ministerial servant makes sheperding calls upon baptized Witnesses, they are not allowed to report that time on their report slips. Yet, if they call upon a person who is not baptized, yet has been attending the Kingdom Hall for 20 years, they can report that time as "field service".

    The kind of arrangement and collective mindset that is enforced within the Watchtower organization can only be called Talmudic.
