Any experience with Jehovah Witnesses?

[Jermyn Davidson]

It has been several years ago now, but I would see the same jw's in my apartment complex and I would be friendly to them, but never allowed them to witness to me.

One day, I struck up a conversation with two of them and invited them to a mutual Bible Study at my apartment.

The day came for the appointment and they were on time. I invited them in, we exchanged pleasantries and I graciously offered to allow them to speak first.

They gave their presentation and I had a question at one point. However, they asked that I hold my questions until the end. I did what they asked, writing down my questions.

They did not give an answer to the questions I had-- there were two of them. The one guy spoke, said some stuff, but never addressed either of my questions.

When it came time for me to present, within the literal first two minutes of my presentation, they interrupted me. I politely asked them to hold their questions until the end. During the first fine minutes of my presentation, one guy interrupted me three more times and actually became rude and raised his voice towards me.

I asked the both of them to leave my apartment.

Ever since then, I do not give jw's the time of day. I stop short of being rude to them, but I purposefully DO NOT wish them to have a good day when I see them.

They are spreading false doctrines and abominable heresies that diminish the Deity of Jesus Christ. They reduce His Sonship to one of a glorified man.

I do not consider any of them saved and I do not have a brother or sister in the jw ranks.

They are led and inspired by satan.

The jw's are damned.

so, based upon the declarations of exactly 2 JWs, you judge every JW; and not by their fruit. Being Pentecostal makes this ok?

Their doctrines curse them, not me.

wadr, you cursed them, and i can quote it. I am not trying to get into another pointless session of changing someone's mind here, but i will suggest that no JWs have yet gone to hell based upon your judgement--at least not that you can prove--and perhaps judging people on their doctrine rather than their fruit is the wrong approach.

Bro, the jw's are heretics. They are not Christians. They are unsaved. Lost. Cursed.

Until they come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, they will die in their sins.

My language concerning the jw's and mormons is strong, but it is my opinion of them, based on the Bible.

They change/add to the scriptures. I have no tolerance for their doctrines. They are CLEARLY HERETICAL.

[Jermyn Davidson]

Judging religious people on their doctrine IS the right approach. Ask the Apostle Paul.

[Jermyn Davidson]

It would be absolutely ludicrous to consider a jw as saved, a brother or sister in Christ! They deny the Christ of the Bible.

What else can be said other than cursed?

It is especially sad because they think they have a one up on everyone else because of their twisted doctrine. How can you possibly defend them?

jw's who do not repent of their damnable doctrine will die in their sins.

Why am I reminded of Elder Epley in this moment?

I disagree with your opinion on the Trinitarians.
