Who's worse: Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses?

Question

They're both pretty screwy, but which is worse?

I'm Christian by the way, not an atheist.

Answer 1

Since you say you are a Christian, then you should appreciate this verse from the New Testament:

"Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls." (Romans 14:4, New International Version)

Regardless of your biased opinion, the only opinion that really matters is that of our Master, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Just thought you'd want to know. And thanks for the two points.

Answer 2

I am not a Mormon or a Jehovah's Witness. As some of the people answering this question can tell you I am not easy on the Jehovah's Witnesses, but your question is extremely judgmental and only God can do that. I may not agree with the Doctrine of these two religions but, I do believe they try very hard to do the will of God as they are taught and do not deserve this type of Judgment. If you are truly a Christian, you would delete this question and start over. You may question their doctrine and I will back you on that any day. But not to judge them, this I will not do!

Answer 3

You paint with a very large brush. Do you personally know anyone of either religion? Know, not just met or heard about.

You may dislike them coming to your door, the Mormons send out young men while all Jehovah's Witnesses do this, but you can either not answer the door or say you're not interested. I say that to Girl Scouts because I don't like cookies. When a Witness calls, ask them to take down your address and not call again. They keep records and don't call when they have been asked not to do so.

While you may not agree with either religion, why does that make them screwy? JWs are not just preaching, they are living according to their scriptural beliefs. I don't know any Mormons, but they seem to make their beliefs a daily part of their lives.

If you really are a christian, you'll remember Jesus' words, "By this all will know that you are my disciples, that you have love among yourselves."

Answer 4

Who is WORSE? Your question assumes that there is something WRONG with Jehovah's Witnesses.

Personally I find the question offensive. Why would you make that assumption? What do you really know about us anyway?

Proverbs 18:13 tells us "13 When anyone is replying to a matter before he hears [it], that is foolishness on his part and a humiliation."

Jehovah's Witnesses are a group of Christians who INTENSELY study the Bible and follow what it says. If our beliefs are "screwy" then you are saying the Bible is "screwy".

So tell me, which of our beliefs do you find objectionable? Perhaps I could show you from the Bible why we believe as we do.

Answer 5

Come on, you can find something weird or screwy about any religion. I don't think they're any worse than anyone else. In fact, most of them are kind and good people.

Answer 6

To each his own. What yardstick would you use to say which of them is better or worse than the other? The JW's are happy with themselves and so are the Mormons. They probably find Christians, Hindu's, Buddhists, Muslims etc. more screwed up than themselves.

So live and let live..be happy with what works for you.

I too am a christian.

jha live

Answer 7

THERE IS NO WAY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN BECAUSE YOU DONT LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS CHRIST IS NOT PARTIAL AND TO BE A TRUE CHRISTIAN YOU MUST FOLLOW JESUS' EXAMPLE.

*** it-1 p. 440 Christian ***
What It Means to Be a Christian. Jesus extended the invitation to be his follower, saying: “If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake and continually follow me.” (Mt 16:24) Those who are true Christians have full faith that Jesus Christ is God’s specially Anointed One and only-begotten Son, the Promised Seed who sacrificed his human life as a ransom, was resurrected and exalted to the right hand of Jehovah, and received authority to subdue his enemies and vindicate Jehovah’s name. (Mt 20:28; Lu 24:46; Joh 3:16; Ga 3:16; Php 2:9-11; Heb 10:12, 13) Christians view the Bible as the inspired Word of God, absolute truth, beneficial for teaching and disciplining mankind.—Joh 17:17; 2Ti 3:16; 2Pe 1:21.

Answer 8

All those who belong to a certain Religion are convinved that IT is the right religion.

So, which is better or worse?

I would lean toward the group that practice what they believe in.

"Faith without works, is dead!

James 2:24 YOU see that a man is to be declared righteous by works, and not by faith alone. 25 In the same manner was not also Ra′hab the harlot declared righteous by works, after she had received the messengers hospitably and sent them out by another way? 26 Indeed, as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

What are YOUR works?

Answer 9

Jehovah's Witnesses check all doctrines with the bible.
Mormons use the book Mormon.
It's up to you to decide which book you want to believe.

But if you say, you're christian, and do not live according the words Jesus has teached, you're a candidat for Mat. 7:21-23. So check your doctrins, if they agree with the bible.

Answer 10

We wish to conduct ourselves honestly in all things.—Heb. 13:18.

An important aspect of Jesus’ way of teaching was that he lived in harmony with what he taught. Many people come to appreciate the fine conduct of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who imitate Jesus in this regard. A businessman in New Zealand had his car broken into and his briefcase stolen. The police said to him: “Your only chance of getting your property back would be if one of Jehovah’s Witnesses was to find it.” A Witness did find the briefcase. Notified of this, the owner came to the sister’s home. He was relieved to find that a document that was invaluable to him was there. The sister told him, “It was only proper that I return the property, especially as I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.” The businessman was amazed, remembering what the constable had told him that very morning.

Jesus once applied to himself a prophetic psalm, saying: “They hated me without cause.” (John 15:25; Psalm 69:4) Before telling his disciples this, he had warned: “A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also.” (John 15:20) It would not be easy to follow in his footsteps. For one thing, religious leaders among the Jews would treat Jesus’ Jewish disciples as apostates from Judaism. When it was demanded that Jesus’ followers no longer speak about him, however, they refused to comply and thus compromise their faith.—Acts 4:17-20; 5:27-32.
In testimony presented to the Jewish Sanhedrin shortly after Pentecost 33 C.E., the disciple Stephen was accused of “speaking blasphemous sayings against Moses and God.” Outrageous though the charges were, he was stoned to death. As a result, “great persecution arose against the congregation that was in Jerusalem,” and “all except the apostles were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria.” (Acts 6:11, 13; 8:1) Many were imprisoned.
