The thing I've never understood about Jehovah's Witnesses is that their first mistake is in the bloody name, isn't God's 'name' Yahweh rather than Jehovah, and the latter was just a mistransliteration?

They justify it as it being the English pronunciation.
I love manipulating children whom have little understanding of the world around them into conforming into my viewpoints and beliefs through manipulation of their emotions.

Little did they know, Jehovah also fuckin' [I]hates[/I] bikes.
Aw, it cuts off the part where the ride bikes at the end.

[QUOTE=KlaseR;41478008]this video is actually not far from the truth
I had a Jehovas Witness in my class, and he couldn't watch movies or play videogamers that had magicians, dragons, witchcraft or magic things like that. I was quite sad for him to be honest, he seemed really scared and forced by his parents to follow the religion.[/QUOTE]
That kid's parents are dumbshits, the kind of magic that the devil uses in the bible is entirely different from what is in videogames and movies, I read about this kinda thing, and what is in the games and movies is what's called "Incantational Magic" which is different than devil magic that Satan uses. Invocational magic, aka devil magic, is something more you'd see a guy chanting over a pentagram with a goat's head in the center for a week so he can put a curse on someone using the power of Satan, a wizard casting a spell is Incantational magic, and involves spells and magic wands.
The only thing I can think about is when she asks him if he wants to play with a toy satan likes or whatever is him saying "uh-huh"
Jehovah hates Lipsync.
Well I know a girl that's one and she's totally fine, in fact the nicest person I ever met. I think it really depends on the person itself same for every other religion, if you overdo it then things get really weird.

The people are very nice, but the religion itself pretty much demands that you overdo it, if you're not then they'll make sure you feel as guilty as possible for that.

"Jehova" is an English mispronunciation of a German misinterpretation of the Tetragrammaton (the four letter name of God: YHWH.) It is not for sure if "Yahweh" is the true pronunciation of the Tetragammaton since the Hebrew alphabet only uses consonants. Most observant Jews consider it forbidden to pronounce the Tetragammaton, so "Yahweh" is mostly used by Christians and other non-Jews.
[QUOTE=Morgy;41479341]Jehovah Witnesses are a cult, don't let the fact that they're 'Christian' fool you into thinking they aren't.[/QUOTE]
I dunno... They worship Christ as God so I think that means they're Christian... Every branch has their weird rituals and Taboos.
Also, I've heard this same thing about every other branch of Christianity from people who are in another branch of Christianity.
If you're protestant the Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons are in cults.
If you're Catholic the Protestants, Jehova's Witnesses, and Mormons are all cultists who shun the church and by extension god.
If you're Jehova's Witness then you are dead set on telling me that I'm a cultist because I'm atheist and I shun god's love.
If you're Mormon I'm slamming the door in your face because it's fucking 7 IN THE FUCKING MORNING GOD DAMN IT LET ME SLEEP.
Every religion (except their own) is a cult to other religions. That's just how it goes.
