Hi Gary,

Good to have you here. Please know that the people here do not "hate" JWs, as you appear to think. There are some ex-JWs here who have been greatly hurt by the WT and they are angry sometimes as they have lost a part of their lives to what they have discovered is a false man made religious system, and false prophet that Jesus foretold and warned us of. They are angry sometimes, and I can't blame them. It is more the WT organisation that people are angry with here as it has screwed up so many lives. They are angry at it. Did Jesus not say "hate what is evil"?

Also know that Christians are 'responding' to the criticisms of Jehovah's Witnesses (Jude 3). Many people, like yourself, seem to think this is all one sided, with us "attacking" JW beliefs or the WT. It is not. Remember that it was the WT which 'first' attacked the churches (especialli in the days of Rutherford) and criticized their doctrines. This still happens every day as JWs take to the streets and doors to tell Christians that they are part of "Satan's system" or in "Babylon the Great". Can you see what I am getting at here? Should Christians therefore sit back and allow them to say this?

For a list of documentation and quotes of how the Watchtower criticize (or "attack") the churches see the article on this site but following this link:
