Here are some other beliefs they practice:

  • Blood transfusions are a sin.
  • The soul ceases to exist after death.
  • They refuse to vote.
  • They will not salute the flag.
  • They will not sing the “Star Spangled Banner.”
  • They do not celebrate Christmas or birthdays.
  • Their leadership will not allow them to serve in the armed forces.
  • Those that leave the organization are known as apostates. Jehovah’s Witnesses cannot talk to them or even greet them on the street.
  • For many years it was taught that Blacks were that color as a result of God’s curse on Canaan.
  • Lying is part of “theocratic war strategy.” A Jehovah’s Witness can lie to someone if they are not entitled to know the truth.
  • Periodically Jehovah’s Witness doctrine will change. This is known as “new light.”

    • Are these the guidelines that an Awesome, Gracious, Merciful, Loving, All Knowing God, would give you? NOT!

    Jehovah’s Witnesses are trained in the art of verbal battle. Do not engage them. Pray first and share the scriptures verse by verse, point by point. Share in stern love, you will disarm them.

    But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.…1 Peter 3:15

    Defend Your Faith With The Word!

    All Scripture Is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. 2 Timothy. 3:16
