I'd just like to post this thread as my parents and sisters (no, I don't have a brother) are JWs and what they do and what they stand for doesn't make much sense.
Here's a documentary of JW:
Now, what do I mean by "illogical," you may ask?
- "All men are evil" but the ones in charge of JW are men
- "Jehovah will kill all nonbelievers" the "God" they made up isn't very loving (but think he is)
- "Jehovah" they use His name in almost every sentence and think of Him as a "friend" or an imaginary friend
- "Homosexuality is bad" but they still pretend they welcome everyone
- They tend to use insulting terms for non-JW followers which shows they don't respect others if they're not part of JW
- They don't celebrate Christmas despite being a Christian religion
- They don't celebrate Birthdays, but they celebrate New Year (until they ban this too)
- They've said Armageddon was coming in 1914 and 1918, yet here we are
- They see their sect/cult/religion as the "true" one and all others are fake
- If the Armageddon is coming then why do they have billions of dollars?
- If a JW person is in a relationship with a non-JW, then they're "doomed" to this world
...
This could go on and on. My point is, I believe there's a God / Superior Being who created the world, but it ain't how the JWs describe it as. Furthermore, no one alive truly knows and the closest "evidence" are Bibles which I wouldn't trust to be the truth.
