How you gonna like the fruit but hate the tree it came from......a religious point?
What would you say if to someone if they said "I love golden delicious apples but eye hate the trees that they grow on"? The tree is what the fruit is all about. If the tree is healthy so will the apples. Nice, juicy and colorful to the eye. Got me wondering if I saw a scrawny tree with some crackish looking fruit barely dangling on it, would I be interested???? NOT!
With that being said, I spoke to a woman the other day about some peoplez view of Jehovah Witnesses. It is no secret that many people are misinformed about them, their purpose and who they really are. I found a quote on the web that was interesting:
PLEASE do not give me any of those Bible quotes about Jesus talking about how if the world hates you, then remember that it hated him first, etc. I mean, I seirously can understand the irritation of other Christians, as I experience this, myself. Most of them use fear, manipulation, and hatred to fully change you and make you join a cult. However, not only do Jehovah's Witness understand what the Bible teaches, they are so tolerant and kind to nonbelievers. While I also believe that Jesus is the son of God, I certainly do not believe that anyone deserves to burn for an eternity. Most Jehovah's Witnesses don't feel this either.
So, my main question boils down to why do people hate Jehovah's Witnesses, out of all the Christians? I mean, they are the most tolerant, least sadistic, and most understanding of the Bible!
I won't get deep on this topic today, rather I will pose a question. Despite all the strong views you have about Witnesses, think about the ones you know personally or have seen. Have you noticed that they seem peaceable, neutral, and loving toward all. I personally, find that most people say that the onez they know are cool people. So I say, if you don't like a person because of his/her religion, then you don't like that person because that is the infrastructure of the person. Like my fruit and like me. Hate my tree and hate me. I asked an actual Witnesses why she thinks people don't like her religious choice and she stated this:
We do not participate in fornication, adultery, homosexual practices, theft, drugs, violence or bar hopping just to name a few things that most people like to do and don't want to be reminded that they shouldn't either.
Instead, they find churches and preachers to "tickle their ears" as the bible says.
