Jehovah’s Witnesses Mad That Atheists Won’t Keep Their Views to Themselves

RE: Jehovah’s Witnesses Mad That Atheists Won’t Keep Their Views to Themselves
Major league assholes, these JWs.

Quote:Beliefs of the Jehovah's Witnesses:

Jehovah's Witnesses call their faith: "the truth." 1 They have many beliefs similar to those held by fundamentalists and other evangelical Christians, These include:
The inerrancy of the Bible;
The belief that God inspired the Bible's authors
The Virgin Birth;
Jesus giving his life as a ransom for past and future humanity;
Opposition to divorce,
Opposition to homosexual behavior, and pre-marital sex
Opposition to abortion;
The immense influence of Satan in the world;
The validity of a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation story and rejection of the theory of evolution


There are many exceptions where Witnesses deviate from historical conservative Christianity:
They do not believe in the Trinity. Instead, they follow a strict monotheism, in which:
Jehovah is the Supreme Being,
Jesus is the son of God, the first created being, who is separate from Jehovah. Christ is believed to have originally existed in a pre-human state as the Archangel Michael. He later took human form as a man like any other person, except that he was sinless at birth and remained so through life. After his execution, Christ was resurrected as an invisible, non-material, glorious spirit creature. He was enthroned by Jehovah as King and ruler over all creation, and "given all authority in heaven and on earth."
The Holy Ghost is not a separate entity, but is an energy or force -- the method by which God interacts with the world.
