Jehovah's Witnesses are unique for their rejection of paganisms, use of God's personal name, and global preaching by every active adherent. No other religious organization can claim such purity of worship.
These facts about Jehovah's Witnesses are perhaps relevant to this question. The more one compares this Christian religion with others, the more remarkable it is shown to be.
1. Jehovah's Witnesses have no paid clergy. Yet they remain tightly organized with more than 6.5 million active Jehovah's Witness preachers (about 16 million associate themselves with the religion). Even fulltime preachers and workers at their branch offices are unpaid volunteers.
2. There is no elite class among Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the few 'anointed' among them enjoy no special privileges in their congregations on earth. An anointed person (one of those relative few with a heavenly hope) is not elevated above his fellow congregants in any way, and he may not even qualify for appointment as a simple 'deacon' or elder. There are no titles; EVERYONE is addressed as 'brother' or 'sister'.
3. No person benefits economically from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the 8 to 20 men who serve on their Governing Body receive simply room, board, medical care, and reimbursement for certain personal expenses according to the exact same provision as every other branch volunteer.
4. About a hundred men have served on Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body committee during the past 125 years or so. The vast majority of them have spent the vast majority of their adult lives volunteering for their organization's purposes, and the vast majority have died faithfully and near-pennilessly while still under their legal 'vow of poverty'.
5. Amazingly, Jehovah's Witnesses did not splinter as a sect from some other religion. Instead, a truly tiny but sincere group of bible students studied only the Scriptures to determine the will of God. Thus their religion remains absolutely independent of and not carrying the sins of Christendom's history, yet carries the authority of Christ's teachings.
6. Despite the distortions of anti-Witnesses, throughout their modern history Jehovah's Witnesses have refused to claim divine inspiration or infallibility for their teachings. They have pointed to the bible (and not any particular translation) as the only inspired infallible means of knowing God's thoughts. For over 125 years, their teachings have been presented as merely the results of sincere bible research by imperfect but godly humans.

Well,I think they are not very open minded! They think they are right and noone else is and I wished they would quit coming to my house. I think they are one big cult.
I think there annoying there is one of there meeting places at the end of my neighborhood.
I know that Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses mean well in sharing their faith, coming door to door, but it's kida a joke with friends that when we see the two coming to our street we run and hide in the kitchen. LOL. We got our own religion. :)
I think they should stop knocking on my door,I'm busy
My sis used to be married to a non practicing JW I thought it was kinda gross that they allow siblings to marry within their religion
I think there are some great people that belong to that church but I dont like how they approach me. I find many of them to be a little too pushy.
I don't know much about them, but they do come to our house sometimes. We try not to be rude, but we don't let them in. I think everyone has a right to choose what they believe or don't believe about the Bible, but I don't think beliefs should be pushed on others if they aren't interested in that particular belief.
they follow a man not the one and only god there doctrine is not sound. I lacks the one important idea in Christianity with is that Jesus lord has die for our sins. As a person they are very nice and kind they make good friends.
I think if your organization and beliefs are so great, you won't have to sell them door-to-door. People will come to you.
They have the right to believe in what they want but they can get annoying knocking at your door in the wee hours of the morning trying to convince you to give them a chance when you are more in the mood to begin the day with a good breakfast or something.
don't get me started their are this two Lady's who come by my house and preach the word to me they get on my nerves she comes by to much and just talk and talk. I'm night a Jehovah but i do believe in god.
