Whoa!

Face it, our U.S. Consitution is GODLESS! It's completely secular. When the U.S. Consitution was set up and made a law, many Christians complained that it was godless and that it ignored Christianity.

And our founding fathers were NOT Christians - they were a LOT MORE liberal than you were. They doubted the Bible. Thomas Jefferson even called the Bible "a pile of dung" ($sh1t). Thomas Paine who gave this country its name, "USA" wrote a lengthy refutation on the Old Testament and considered it a myth. George Washington died a Diest (believed in God but not the Bible).

Madison kept voting against laws that involve churches to get money from the government saying it violated the first amendment (which Bush ignores with the Faith Inititive... a true betrayer of the US Consitution).

Christians should obey the law. Let me give you the verse,

"All of you must yield to the government rulers. No one rules unless God has given him the power to rule, and no one rules now without that power from God. So those who are against the government are really against what God has commanded. And they will bring punishment on themselves. Those who do right do not have to fear the rulers; only those who do wrong fear them. Do you want to be unafraid of the rulers? then do what is right, and they will praise you. The ruler is God's servant to help you. But if you do wrong, then be afraid. He has the power to punish; he is God's servant to punish those who do wrong. So you must yield to the government, not only because you might be punished, but because you know it is right. This is also why you pay taxes. Rulers are working for God and give their time to their work. Pay everyone, then, what you owe, if you owe any kind of tax, pay it. Show respect and honor to them all."
Romans 13:1-7 (New Century Version)

Follow US Consitution where we are living here in America and have to pay the taxes to help improving the roads, gas, social security, sales taxes, FICA, IRS, etc.. etc.. etc...

What if the ruler is not God's servant? I agree that you should respect the government and abide with it but to a point. For example, if the government oversteps the abuse of power and takes our civil rights then we shouldn't allow that.

The only holiday they celebrate is the death of Christ.

They don't celebrate Birthdays, Easter, Christmas, etc. They believe that all holidays are part of pagan rituals.

That's good point! We have a right to stand and voice for our A.D.A. against the government who misconducts toward our disablitiy. Sometimes governments turn bad but we still obey the governments for anything except we can disobey the government that they can ask us to deny Jesus the Messiah! We will say "No" to the government.

Let me tell you that too many JW people in the world don't count right numbers to fit to 144,000 JW.. it is OUT OF ORDER! That means JW is false doctrine and very cult. 144,000 JW is not yet in the tribulation period!

Yes, I can show you. It's in Revelation 7:4-8.

Revelation 7:4-8

"And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand."

There were 12 tribes : Juda, Reuben, Gad, Aser, Nepthalim, Manas, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zabulon, Joseph and Benjamin. Each of them are 12, 000.

12, 000 x 12 tribes = 144, 000. They all are Jews. JW is NOT Jews.

IF you do believe in Jesus the Messiah and not support JW they will throw u out.. BUT you do nothing to worry about it because Jesus says, "And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethen, or sisters, or father, or mother or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life." Matthew 19:29 KJV

Because you decide to follow Jesus the Messiah and know that JW is cult and false doctrine. JW will get upset at you becuase you know the truth set you free!

A several years ago, A JW hearing signing woman with a DeafBlind woman came to my home on the 4th floor. I was wondering how do they know where I live so I asked the hearing signer about this. She mentioned she had noticed the doorbell button on each door in my building and stated that there are a few deaf people live in my building. I was like *back of my head .. huh* ? I am (still am!) the only Deaf resident in this building! Sheeesh.. The Deafblind woman told me "God loves ASL bec it is a beautiful language. The Hearing signer smiled and nodded nervously. I simply told them not to come back and then shut the door front of them. Funny a friend of mine mentioned some DeafBlinds usually take advantage of JW people because of the ride, keep them busy etc ..Well I don't blame them. I knew that DeafBlind woman is not JW because she mentioned "God". She is a quite well known in the DeafBlind community.

During Christmas month back in 2003 or before, there were two JW hearing signing women were waiting in the foyer of my apt downstairs. At the same time, My mom and sister were there waiting! My neighbor pointed at the JW people and smiled. She had no idea they are JW but thrilled they know sign language. I got lost and confused. They were in hurry to come up and talked to me. My mom and sister was puzzled by this. My friend mentioned to them that they are JW and preaching me! I told JW gals go hush because I am out with my family for a Christmas shoppping with a huge smiling face! They merely left with their pout face. I am catholic and I am not practicing. My apt is a church and I have my own bible here somewhere ( dunno where thou lol) -- It was given by my elderly neighbor Jim who had lost his late deafened son. Now Jim is gone. I first moved in and a few months later, Jim had learned that I am a Deaf resident. That's how he gave me the bible book of the Deaf. Nice of him.

Yes, Ive talked to JW deaf folks before. They're nice but a bit pushy about their beliefs unless you tell them that you are not interested. The JW have the largest number of deaf members in san diego, ca compared to other religions there.

I was reading some of the post about Jw's. I am sick to my stomach.

Some say they they love Christ, but I don't belive it! There was a time
when bad things where said about deaf people, and we knew it was not true.

We worked hard to let people know that we can be just like them or maybe
better. But now you talk about open the door naked,shotting another person

because you don't like their religion. Shame, Shame. I may not be the beat
person in the world but to mistreat another person because of there religion
is WRONG. I don think god would like that!!

I know a man that was very mean to Jehovah's Witness, what happen
his house caught on fire. JW'S where knocking on doors and saw his house
burning , and ran to help. You see this man was in a wheelchair if not for
those people going door to door he would have died!!

I think most of you people are no better than they are and some of what I
read is wrong. If being part of your religion means I have to be mean to
Jehovah's Witness , LDS or anyother person ,I hope I never come to your
church. Jesus is not there!!

Yes I understand. I tried to positive JW issues what I can because I grew up with them and went same school with them...

If people who made disgusit posts against any beliefs is their irgorant and uneducation.

I could agree to disagree with any beliefs sometimes, not disgusit against their beliefs.. All what I disguist is: Offer alive animal as a sacrifice because it´s CRUEL...

They are popular with deaf members b/c they know that the #1 type of person to join a cult, tends to feel like they don't fit in anywhere. A lot of dhh folks feel like they don't fit in anywhere so they are ripe pickens for JW/Mormons/Seventh Day Adventists/other religions who like to recruit and engage in extreme prolethizing.

I was wondering how do they know where I live so I asked the hearing signer about this. She mentioned she had noticed the doorbell button on each door in my building and stated that there are a few deaf people live in my building. I was like back of my head .. huh ? I am (still am!) the only Deaf resident in this building! Sheeesh.. The Deafblind woman told me "God loves ASL bec it is a beautiful language. The Hearing signer smiled and nodded nervously. I simply told them not to come back and then shut the door front of them. Funny a friend of mine mentioned some DeafBlinds usually take advantage of JW people because of the ride, keep them busy etc ..Well I don't blame them. I knew that DeafBlind woman is not JW because she mentioned "God". She is a quite well known in the DeafBlind community. During Christmas month back in 2003 or before, there were two JW hearing signing women were waiting in the foyer of my apt downstairs. At the same time, My mom and sister were there waiting! My neighbor pointed at the JW people and smiled. She had no idea they are JW but thrilled they know sign language. I got lost and confused. They were in hurry to come up and talked to me. My mom and sister was puzzled by this. My friend mentioned to them that they are JW and preaching me! I told JW gals go hush because I am out with my family for a Christmas shoppping with a huge smiling face! They merely left with their pout face. I am catholic and I am not practicing. My apt is a church and I have my own bible here somewhere ( dunno where thou lol) -- It was given by my elderly neighbor Jim who had lost his late deafened son. Now Jim is gone. I first moved in and a few months later, Jim had learned that I am a Deaf resident. That's how he gave me the bible book of the Deaf. Nice of him.

My hair messed up because I just woke up recently. Someone knocked the door. I looked at flashlight from Alertmaster AM-6000 and notice green light from door. I ran into my bedroom and grabbed my blue jean, put it on me. I ran to the door and open the door. I notice that it was 2 black ladies with nice fancy dresses from Jehavoh's Witness. I said no to them. I shut door on their faces! I can't believe it is Happy July 4th they interfere people's enjoyable and vacation. What is wrong with their mind!!!! DUH????
