What or who is a Jehovah's Witness?
A Jehovah's Witness is a person whose faith is centered in men (GB) not God or the Bible and who must never voice any opinion on any doctrine contrary to that of the GB or risk discipline and possible disfellowship.
Well....its a start.

A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS (non-anointed) IS A PERSON:
a. who is not born of the Spirit of God and therefore cannot see/inherit the Kingdom of God.
b. who has not been justified by the blood of Christ.
c. who is not part of the New Covenant.
d. who has no personal Mediator.
e. who is bereft of a heavenly hope.
f. who cannot come unto Jesus Christ when troubled or have commune (i.e. relate to him on a personal level).
g. who believes an extra-biblical gospel that the Apostle Paul knew nothing about.
h.
i.
j.
k.
Can we get to z?
In addition, they are blind followers of Joseph R Rutherford and his successors, he coined the name and ruled the group with his unsteady hand, :0
They are the Watchtower Corporation's public sales representatives, who distribute the WTS's literature which contain the corruptly devised doctrines of the WTS. and then label their work as preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

j. whose organization feels free to invent conspiracies and arbitrarily add words to the New Testament, as in the case of the name "Jehovah", selectively reflecting its doctrinal bias.
k. who after doing fieldservice (which usually involves the extra-biblical practice of going door to door) must then complete a written report every month detailing time spent preaching to remain in "good standing".
l. who believes that those of all those of other faiths (including those claiming to be Christian) are part of satan’s organization and will die at the hand of Jehovah at Armageddon.
m. who cannot partake of the bread and wine which represent the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
n. who take full advantage of government provisions such as health care and income benefits, yet will not vote, or work for a governmental organization.
o. who will strongly encourage you to read their organization's literature while openly refusing to receive or read literature from you developed by your church or church publisher.
p. who is not allowed independent religious thought.
q. who must avoid relating to and in many cases actually shun family members who have been disfellowshipped from the organization.
r. who would lose the privilege of giving a public address in North America if he grew a beard.
s. who will be disciplined and possibly disfellowshipped if caught celebrating birthdays, Christmas, wishing people a happy Mother's Day or reading literature opposed to the WTS.
t. Who can be disfellowshipped for smoking cigarettes.
u. who actually plans/aspires to be raised in the resurrection of the UNJUST.
v. whose religion is spurious to scripture in the sense that everything that is original and unique to it is in fact, extra-biblical.
w. who belives that a criteria for salvation is that one must find and submit to an organization. One cannot be saved without the GB.
x. who readily embraces extra-biblical information.
y. whose doctrine is dertermined by 2/3 majority vote.
z. who rejects biblical salvation (which is a gift of God, not of works) for a gospel of relative works-righteousness.
a small correction:
n. who take full advantage of government provisions such as health care and income benefits, yet will not vote, or work for a governmental organization.
JW's take advantage of governmental provisions because individual JW's pay their taxes and hence as legal citizens they have the right to get these benefits.
How about :
JW`s refuse to donate blood even for their own use believing it must be poured out on the ground and not used for any purpose and yet the GB allows JW`s to use blood fractions that are processed from stored donated blood in a laboratory from people who are not JW`s but are people of Satans system of things.Worldly people.
Good one Smid!
Thanks for the correction Dreary!
I love all these definitions Vanders and crew.
To me a JW is one that believes all the nonsense of a nutty cult, despite logic that proves the cult wrong.
Since Isaiah 43:10 was written to the nation of Israel, then the pre-Christian Jews were Jehovah's Witnesses. To assign any other group of people this title is pure conjecture, unbridled imagination and religious speculation.
