hi, hey i don't want this thread to go into too much detail, but lately I've been studing the religions, and I am very interested in jenovha's witnesses sumthin like that, if there r any in this forum please guys tell me what r ure beliefs, forbidden stuff, parties, etc. thanks!
Well, in the concentration camps in the 30s and 40s the Jehovah's Witnesses were forced to wear a purple triangle badge... if I remember rightly over a million were exterminated by the Nazis... unlike the Jews, the Witnesses were given a way out... if they signed a piece of paper to say that they no longer believed in God, they would be free... the Witnesses said that they would rather die than renounce God, and that's what happened to them... The JWs believe that God is omnipotent and that Jesus was not divine, but a teacher sent from God... they leave the blood issue to each persons own conscience, depending on that persons interpretation of Scripture... and they are the only religion in the UK that cannot become Scout Leaders... because they refuse to swear allegiance to anyone but God.. this determination about oaths led to a lot of trouble in Greece and America... if you are really interested, find your local Kingdom Hall... they will be only too willing to answer your questions, and despite the image of them portrayed in the media, they are only as pushy as your local Methodists...
I used to have Johova's witnesses next door to me, every weekend they'd go around and advertise their religion to the neighborhood. It seemed pretty stupid to me at the time, but now that I'm older...it still seems stupid.
Damn Jahovas come knocking on our door (and everyone elses in the neighborhood) pissing us off at random hours of the day. I swear if they knock on my door at 10 in the morning while im still sleeping on the weekend...they better have a knife hidden in there bible becuse we might just have to engage in some hand to hand violence on the front lawn. (jk of course)
They always send the good looking chick to your door first so you answer it and then the fat old guy in the suit jumps out from round the corner with the sales pitch.
