I think itās really amazing how Mike manages to make me feel compassion for a group Iāve mostly found annoying my entire life. I never thought about how much fear they must live in under a belief system that demands constant works for the maintenance of your salvation. Iāll be sure to be kinder to any jws I may meet

In my days as a Witness I struggled big time with the ministry work for various reasons.
Which then lead to a lot of fear which only crippled me more.
Being in a group that teaches bloodguilt if you dont preach, and constantly makes you question if you are doing enough is not a healthy place to be

This was very timely. I have been doing ministry in an area next to a JW stand and wanted to speak to them but felt that just bringing them scriptures on Jesus being God wouldnāt cut it. This helps to focus more on Gods Grace since they are doing this out of a works based salvation and I hope next time I see them I can tell them this good news!

I 100% understand that feeling of uncomfortableness. Sometimes it can even be overbearing, especially when you're trying to share your beliefs and something you care about. I was a missionary for my church, and it can be hard. We often got mistaken as Jehovah Witness by others, but usually when we did bump into other Jehovah Witness on the streets, as they were trying to share their beliefs, our interactions were always kind. I think it's important to be compassionate and caring to what others believe. People don't have to believe the same thing to deserve respect.

I've never been a Jehovah's witness but from the Great commission I've always felt condemned when I don't actively go and evangelize to people because it feels like I'm not being obedient to God.
When I was around 18 - 23, this feeling that 'God was going to be upset with me' got me going out on the street and actively bringing up the gospel with people who were chilling or on the bus.
On one end the Good News was being shared but on the other I felt condemned and thought God was upset with me whenever I was not evangelizing.
No Dictator pastor or any friends got me doing this, it was just me reading the word and feeling the need to be obedient to God.
I'm 28 now and I find myself still being unsure with this balance of 'needing to evangelize' and 'being at peace when I don't evangelize'.
I'd appreciate any insight on this š

Unfortunately, Iāve tried being nice and polite JWs. Last time 2 JWs pretty much called me too stupid to comprehend the Bible and their book was easier to understand. I donāt answer the door to continue being nice and polite.
Side note, a JW woman lured my sister into her house with candy, holding her captive until my sister converted.
So, yeah, I have issues with JWs.

I had a young JW lady come to my house with a group of teens and they were tired, we rested and I talked them through many of the errors they believed. I actually made friends with her and our family invited her into our lives. We always left the door open for her questions and she ended up leaving the JW after finding out how accepting of her we were even though she didnāt believe like us (well until she did). But that was one of the things she said was encouraging was our winsome attitude. You never know whoās on the other side of that door. Be kind and show the love of Jesus, and be ready to be in it for the long haul.
