Why to Jehovah Witnesses hate Catholics and Gay People?

Question

One JW family told me as we drove by a Catholic Church Bazaar that they would like to go on the rides but would never support them. I asked the JWs if they would accept support from Catholics. The JWs said of course. JWs are obviously a bunch of hypocrites!!!

Answer 1

JW's criticize all other religions, but do have a special dislike for Catholics. This is a product of Joe Rutherford's influence. He was the second president of the Watchtower Society, and for some reason he really, really hated Catholics. Old watchtower publications from that era have cartoon pictures making fun of the pope, and are filled with vitriol towards the Catholic church.

As far as gay people, unfortunately this is something the jw's share with most other christian churches. I don't agree with them, but I can see that most christians are very negative towards homosexuals. In fact, that's one reason I am not a christian.

Answer 2

well it actually make sense when you think about it. They said that they never would support a Catholic but would take help from them bring them closer to the JW religion. Also they don't hate Catholics, they just don't think they are correct. Many protestant religions feel that Catholicism and Mormonism are not Christianity. Yes JW will try to convert you even if you are Christian.

Answer 3

JWs hate everyone that does not follow their rules. JWs hate their own families if they disagree with the watchtower slave-holdery.



I know two sisters with small kids in our hall who go to the Catholic food bank over in Oxnard. They also get help paying their light bill thru a Catholic charity. They all proudly tell their story about when they have been approached to volunteer they decline because it is false religion.



What ever happened to not going near Babylon the Great?



HYPOCRITES IS RIGHT!



Olin Moyle is a Christian. One of Jehovah's Witnesses. But not for much longer!

Answer 4

Jehovah's Witnesses don't hate ANYONE, we may not support other religious faiths because we disagree with them (and spending money at their functions help them raise money) but we do not hate them. We don't say negative remarks about our neighbors regardless of what religion they are. Some individual Jehovah's Witnesses may make disparaging remarks about other religions, but we as a whole feel that doing that is ot showing love for our neighbors. When Jesus was at the well he talked to the Sumaritan woman respectfully, and so did Paul when he conversed with people of different faiths, they set the example for us. Any Jehovah's Witness that tells you that he hates anyone, is not practicing what he preaches. that's why we don't take part in the military, because the thought of taking another human life is repugnant. Jehovah God doesn't hate athiest, catholics, or mormons, therefore no Jehovah's Witness has a right to. I admit I have a hard time myself turning down church cook outs because the food smells so good. But the idea of supporting any false doctrines is repugnant as well.

Answer 5

Not sure what is missing from your conversation here.

We would not out right support a religious organization who puts on a carnival for the intention of raising money to support it's religious activity's in spite of how much fun we could have there.

Some JW's are self employed just like a lot of other people who are eking out a living these days.

Many of those who they may work for or who they have working for them, may be of other religions.

That does not make us hypocrites.

Answer 6

They are so full of hate and vitriol because they're brainwashed by the propaganda from the Watchtower Corp. The Watchtower has a long history of hating others. They are similar to the Westboro Baptist Church. The people that protest at military funerals.

Answer 7

If what you say is true, from what I've read on this forum, JW's are standing in a very long line of other Protestant Christians who say the same things.

Answer 8

They do not limit their hatred to Catholics and Gays they universally despise anyone who is not a JW or a JW prospect....Molest a child and get reinstated and you will be welcomed into the flock no questions asked.



They are a cult and act as one

Answer 9

No, that's not correct, hate is a strong word . The bible tells us not to judge others but to love one another including our enemies. Everone in existence is prone to sinning, no one is perfect. So NO, we don't single out any group of people only actions. We hate what God hates and we all need help to conform to God's standards.



It sounds to me like you are very bitter. Why do you air your dirty laundry in public? It makes you look unstable and full of hatred for Jehovah's Witnesses which then would be hypocritical in view of your question.



People here just like controversy. Do you like that kind of stuff?



If you need to vent, go to a good friend, a relative, and to God.



You will feel much better about yourself.

Answer 10

Explain this Veronica- what do you mean by this remark " would accept support from Catholics"... accept what?- Pray tell..

Answer 11

Tell me about it. The came to my house one day and I am Catholic, and they were really mad, and my grandma is a strong Catholic, so the man began to argue with her and WOW. I was watching TV that time.

Answer 12

This ridiculous 'question' is obviously asked to incite bad feeling toward us.



We don't hate anyone.

We wouldn't use our free time & energy (voluntarily) to visit such ones at their homes if we hated them would we? We'd just avoid them.

Answer 13

Oh, really? You means there aren't gay JW? Awesome!!

Answer 14

Because they have been deceived by false prophet leaders into believing homophobia is loving and moral.

Answer 15

they are all hypocrites... NONE of them can actually live by all the rules they make.....

Answer 16

is that right I didn't know they were so hateful.
