Have you ran into Jevonah Witness people?

Yes i do been met by mormons jevonah witness and etc... but i dont judge anyone as well... its up to ppl and God that all i can say... Im myself as christian as well.. I do believe in God n Angels...
 
hey Heath, if YOU aren't listening to them and reading their stuff, what makes you think they will listen to you and read very racist, very hateful things? Some tracts have things that are very deeply philosophical......but chick tracts seem to say that anyone who isn't a deeply conservative protestant type is going to hell................have you ever read what they say about catholics?

I think that we must respect other people's religions and therefore not make a mockery of it at all!! If you are a fanatic about your religion, thats awesome, but don't pinpoint on other religions!!

I was at a hospital interpreting assignment where JW signers showed up to visit the Deaf consumer, uninvited. I was kind of surprised because hospital security is much stricter now about visitors. Later, I found out that a hospital staff member (a JW) let the Kingdom Hall know that a Deaf person was in the hospital, and set up the visit.

A person I know in another state recently told me that JW pay Deaf people to join them. I was shocked! I knew that the JW have a very aggressive outreach to Deaf people but I didn't know about the money. I don't know if they do it everywhere but at least in one state they do.

This is an unbelievable and total speechless. :eek3:

As far as I know that JW didn't see after people's money because I grow up with JW(s) at school... I know JW people... I'm total surprised after read your posts...
 
We finally invited JW lady go in after her 3rd visit last week. She can sign...

We listened her talk and questioned her about bibles... We talked about bibles what we know, involved with JWs... Nice conversation and debate. She only stayed with us for one hour and then left. I told her that we have no time to study bibles since we have family, we focus to and then said to her that we can't promise anything and also visit Kingdom Hall. She understood and respect us. She asked us for fax number that she can fax... I gave her and told her to not fax often unless festival... She is surprised that I know alot about JW and festivals... She is a nice lady... she is divorced. Her JW husband cheated her with other woman. She was being raised JW because her parents, relatives, grandparent..... are also JW as well... Of course her parents send her to different reglious that she can decide herself either she want stay as JW or not.... Her parents let her focus relgious...... until she decided for JW... Interesting talk... Her talk is an exactly same what I received from JW people... The description about JW here in some threads are toooo different than I know JW in real life. :dunno:
 
I'm glad to hear that not all JWs are like the one Reba posted about. Perhaps the leadership of the German JWs is a bit more enlightened?

Not all people are alike, in every religion there are good AND bad people, and there are people who tell lies about every religion.

Have you noticed that many children who's parents are prejudice against a certain race are ALSO prejudice? Why do you think this is? It is because that is what they've LEARNED from other people, and they completely believe in their hearts that THEY are a better race than the one they hate. Well it's the same with religion, just because people who don't like a religion have told you what THEY think about it, doesn't mean that you have to believe them... I bet that almost all of you who've made these mean posts about JW's have never even taken the time to really study their beliefs or to go to one of their meetings and see how happy they are. Being one I can tell you right now that MANY of the things in here are complete lies, like nomads comment

"I heard that the main reason they're so pushy is that if they "witness (or cause)" a conversion to their faith, then they're gauranteed a path to heaven. The more they convert, the higher the guarantee."

We don't even believe that we are going to heaven! So it's obvious that they don't know what they are talking about.
 
Don´t label only JW as bad people... The people in every different religions are also bad people as well.

This is a blatant violation of H.I.P.P.A and is illegal this nurse needs to be reported in order to keep her from violating someone else’s privacy

I know it's in violation of HIPPA. Most places are very strict about that. The hospital rooms now have the patient charts under lock and key, and even legitimate visitors (family and friends) have trouble getting in. Family members get secret codes to use when then call to check on a patient. Even when I'm interpreting in a medical records building (no patients or doctors, just admin stuff), I have to sign a HIPPA confidentiality form, each time. When I'm in a patient's room, I don't even glance at the monitors that the patient is hooked up to; I don't want to see the vital sign numbers or IV information. Terps have been told that if a doctor or nurse isn't present, then the terp can't stay alone in a room with a Deaf patient. This is kind of sad because many Deaf patients are lonely, and a few extra minutes of non-medical friendly "chat" can mean a lot. I don't mean discussing someone's medical condition but whatever topic the patient wants to talk about--kids, school, weather, sports, etc.

It wasn't a nurse that contacted them. It was a non-medical staff member. That's all I can say.

Sorry, this is :topic:
 
I came from Mormon family.. even tho i am not Mormon... i told them not to come to my door and i would slam the door on their faces... they never did come....

JW are very annoying.... i even slammed the door on them.. many times.... finally when they came over last month.. i blew out.. told them to leave me alone or i will file the harrasment. against JW.. they left right away... i had not seen them lately.. hope it will work..
 
I don't dislike JWs. It's just that the tactics they use really offend me. I can see why people would want to slam the door on them.

I've had JWs come to my door and I've never slamed the door on them - mainly because I was curious about their religon but I had no intention of converting to JWs. I like knowing where people come from even if I have no intention of joining them.


Sometimes I wonder if the leaders of that church encourage those tactics and a great many people find the tactics offensive.

The leaders of the German JWs seem to be encouraging different tactics judging from the above posts.


Now if the JWs in Reba's example had been family or friends instead of total strangers and they came invited, I would not have objected at all.

I also find the idea of paying someone to go to church very distasteful.

I was raised a Southern Baptist and I'm fully aware that not every one is like Jerry Falwell who is more of an Evangelicalist than a Fundmentalist these days.

I've met only only 1 or 2 Mormons and they were very different. The first one was not into religon and he never discussed his beliefs but he was from Utah so it's likely he was raised a Mormon. I'm not sure if he's even a Mormon.

The other one (the CI) was really religous and she could be overbearing sometimes. She wasn't a bad person but I found it difficult not to yell at her sometimes. I also learned a bit about Mormons from her.
 
Speaking of the Jehovah's Witness, I had my share of that yesterday when I was attending a local festival. I was with my female friend, walking and having a conversation. The couple was sitting nearby noticed us signing and bumped into us asking if we were deaf. Naturally, I was being polite and said "Yes". We got into a conversation for a bit and the couple's son and his wife asked us to look at a portable DVD which contained the guy giving a sermon on the J.W. on the DVD. At that moment, I was thinking - Oh no, This is just great and I politely smiled and nodded as if I was not trying to be rude or anything like that. The couple asked me if I wanted a DVD and also asked me for my VP number. I of course said "No thanks and I would wish not to give my VP number out". They in turn realized that I was not interested in that kind of thing and they left me and my friend alone, walking away by saying "It's nice to meet you" and shook my hand.
 
I would never slam the door front any reglious people. I will say I am sorry and no thank and Please don't come again. I will ask them for their bishop or precher so I can tell them to remove my name and etc. That is simple. I think slam the door are very very rude. I never had someone keep come over again because I asked them about their bishop's or precher's phone number. It was not hard.

Mormon people came sometimes, I told them that I am not interesting to hear about mormon but i talked with them for short time. No problem, They didnt bother me.

I never meet anyone who are JW.

If you have never met a JW, then you have NO idea what it is like to have them coming to your door repeatedly. It is sooooo ANNOYING.

I have had JWs ring my doorbell at 6 am in the MORNING! I was SLEEPING! They have done it several time. It PISSES me off. Now if JWs come to my door, I just slam in their face because I do not have the time and the energy to deal with their bullshit.
