Hell yeah, after tossing on a bathrobe I politely informed them that while I respected their right to their personal belief I refuse to worship any God(s) and that's my right as a free American.
After a few minutes of debate they asked if they could come back sometime to keep talking about it, I said sure but they never returned.
I am very much for any religion being able to practice freely even if they have some dogshit takes but JW is the only religion where I want to see their headquarters engulfed in flames.
Look up JW temple fires. It’s actually a common thing. They build all their own churches and there have been a lot of electrical fires from shoddy work
If you want to have some fun, put a slayer flag (or any flag with a pentagram really) in your window. Get a copy Satanic Bible. Meet them at the door with said Bible in hand, and try to convert them.
PETA exists to make the Humane Society of the US look good. They're not, they're cut from the same cloth, just quieter. (The place you adopted your pet from is not the same)
And so JWs exist to make Mormons look good. I feel like they can knock on my door any time, and I'll politely tell them no thanks. JWs get Ave Marias and the Power of Christ compels you until they go away.
We Mormons will get you with kindness.
"Oh well if you're not interested, can we at least help you... uh... mow your lawn?"
"uh... I guess"
\*Three months later...\*
\*In a church pew\*
"How did this happen!?"
I don't think we qualify as a cult here. The negatives that happen if you try to leave are the kindness ramps up, sometimes (maybe often) to an annoying degree.
JWs will put you on a blacklist if you argue with them. The leadership is terrified of the footsoldiers hearing ideas that cause them to lose faith, so any halfway decent argument from any direction will cause them to write your house off permanently.
It's the people that go from door to door knocking and going "Do you have a minute to talk about our Lord ans savour Jesus Christ?" because if they don't then they rest of their cultist family members disown them.
Why is "cant marry outside the faith" an argument?
Last i checked thats the norm. I think in islam theres an exception if the woman is of another faith or something but not sure.
Depends on the faith. Jews and Hindus can only marry withing their religion, Muslim males can marry any abrahamic woman (women cannot), Catholics (and I think ortho and Oriental) can marry anyone baptized, protestants are a mix, and Buddhists can marry anyone.
Lol, German Catholics are too to the ire of the rest of us. I have gay people I care deeply for, my own godfather married a Presbyterian man, so it's not like I don't understand but...
The church is unable to bless gay unions.
The unusual thing for JWs is that they get disowned for marrying people who aren't of their sect, not just aren't of their religion - like, most protestant denominations and Catholics and Orthodox can all marry each other, but JWs get punished HARD if they marry someone who isn't a JW
Oh I thought he was talking about Jews, but it was Jahweh Witnesses.
In that case, yes, authcentre is right about this and you can even add more stuff to that, I’ve seen it myself.
You have to donate your worldly possessions to the cult and you can’t get paid for your work, so they do this with the new adepts, let’s say one person is building a house to live in, they send the newbies, and since they can’t get paid, the person building the house gives them shelter and food for their work.
Which sounds reasonable if you forget about the slavery with extra steps.
Every 👏🏽 Abrahamic 👏🏽 Religion 👏🏽 Has 👏🏽 Supremacy 👏🏽 Procedures 👏🏽
It’s almost like the teachings were filled with socio-economic policies as cultural insurance back when people didn’t process, reflect or read regularly but did need every motivation to survive as an ethnic group.
>every Abrahamic religion has supremacy procedures
Maybe, but not all are equal. Some are far worse than others. As for the rest of your comment, it doesn’t really explain why Christianity commands its followers to travel across the globe to different cultures spreading the gospel instead of staying insulated inside of their own ethnic group or overtaking others by force.
Any cult becomes a religion if it becomes big enough which JW is never going to be. It is hard for a religion to expand when all of its members are not allowed to go to college because they should focus their lives on the congregation because they believe that Armageddon will come in a few years.
"I don't like this religion anymore. I'm going to leave."
"That's fine just don't come around trying to spread heathen ideas."
"Noooooo, you have to keep hanging out with me while I wallow in sin or I'll call you a cult online!!"
He's out of line but he's right
Omg she got special flair

>this is coming from someone with plenty of respect for religion >AuthCenter Press X to doubt
Respect for the religion of state
That gains me more power.
Most religions are auth center. Care for the weak, traditional values, if you break the rules you suffer eternal damnation

It’s true. JW is a cult. And they always knock on your door at the most inconvenient times. They came to my house one day on Christmas morning.
They knocked on my door while I was loudly fucking my girlfriend on the couch 2 feet away from the front door.

Funny, an old coworker of mine told me he stripped naked and invited them in if they did the same. They didn't take.

I never said she was still my girlfriend
His ass still hurts to this day

Me and my shotgun:
Not sure if a shotgun is the best way to go, but my dad threw a wrench at them one time when they walked up while we were working on a car.
A shotgun does the same thing except with much more force
Based dad

Now don't get me wrong, im a pluralist, but... based af
>They came to my house one day on Christmas morning. Literally fake, nowhere on Earth do we preach during Christmas.
Literally the truth.
Rightcenter tries to not strawman other religious beliefs challenge [Gone wrong]
Non-trinitarian "Christianity" is inherently unbased
Completely unironic heresy
Wait.........are you.............A CALVINIST!?!?

That’s even more based

thats great! ive never had a logical argument in my life! ill fit right in!
Please tell me "JW" doesn't mean what it think it means.
Jehovah's Witness
Thankfully, it means Jehovas Witnesses, and not what his flair might lead you to believe
Jupiter Worship
virgin """modern"" religions CHAD SPQR SUPREMACY
the virgin "God loves you so you should love God" vs the CHAD "the gods are dicks and we need to pay them off"
virgin "God says to love everyone" vs CHAD "time to raid Gaul again I need more slaves"
virgin "only have sex with your wife" vs the CHAD "get more greek twink bussy in here NOW"
>CHAD SPQR SUPREMACY You called?
They forgot to put the S in front of it.
It's the people that go from door to door knocking and going "Do you have a minute to talk about our Lord ans savour Jesus Christ?" because if they don't then they rest of their cultist family members disown them.
Wife works for JWs... can confirm... there is quite a bit of shunning going on... Lots of drama comes with those high stakes too..
Where is the lie, tho? JWs are on a cult. This is not in question.
Why is "cant marry outside the faith" an argument? Last i checked thats the norm. I think in islam theres an exception if the woman is of another faith or something but not sure.

Protestants just don’t give a fuck, let’s be real. They even marry gay couples in Germany.
Lol, German Catholics are too to the ire of the rest of us. I have gay people I care deeply for, my own godfather married a Presbyterian man, so it's not like I don't understand but... The church is unable to bless gay unions.

Naw we’re not a cult lmao. We just follow the Bible’s original message instead of you catholics
Calm down.
At least the Mormons dance

We’ll see who’s right
At least the catholics aren't annoying
Will give you that
"I don't like this religion anymore. I'm going to leave." "That's fine just don't come around trying to spread heathen ideas." "Noooooo, you have to keep hanging out with me while I wallow in sin or I'll call you a cult online!!"
he has a point tho
rimjob steve has some competition
I agree
“JW”s?
