Jehovah's Witnesses are Unpopular for Many Reasons

The Watchtower Society Teaches Its Own Version of "Replacement Theology"

Jehovah's Witnesses are unpopular for many reasons, none of which matched the early church except for non-political involvement, which is not exclusive to them at all. They are like carnival hucksters preaching the need to become a Jehovah's Witness or die at Armageddon.

They say they promote good family life? Only until you disagree with the leadership in Brooklyn on the slightest of points, and then they completely divide and destroy the family. Then they write hypocritical articles like the new July 2009 Awake!

I worked at Watchtower headquarters in Brooklyn for six years, was an elder and a factory overseer in charge of printing millions of their books. I left on my own in 1980 after realizing this was a very destructive religion, and you can read about how 50-100 people left the headquarters at that time for the same reason I did; they are very destructive to society as a whole, and tolerate no other religious opinions even in personal conversations with one another.

Anyone can be persecuted, which proves nothing if you are a religion invented in the late 1800s by a man who was into pyramidology, numerology, and who stood on the top of a building with a white sheet waiting to be raptured. 130 years later, they are still awaiting a false hope. - Randall Watters, www.freeminds.org
