Why are Jehovah Witnesses so hated by mainstream Christianity?

[Jack Ryan]

....?

Because Jehovah's Witnesses are the only Christian denomination that do not believe in the trinity.

And since Jesus said "I am the way..." then the true faith would be Christian yet not believe in the Trinity. Very good point - we are the one. JW.ORG.

Because we expose their lies.

I think hate is the wrong word. I think oppose is more accurate. By opposition and dialog it is almost the same thing as the jw cart. Trying to reach out and help the other see a different side of the coin then they are use to. Of course there are some who become overbearing in their quest to reach out, and thus come off as haters, but I think their intention is the same. They just let their ego get in the way of reaching out. We ALL do that at times.

"Why are Jehovah Witnesses so hated by mainstream Christianity?" By @Jay Witness

John 7:7 is a reason.

Many religious leaders today behave like the Pharisees, scribes and other prominent 1st Century religionists. Jesus' Matthew 23 lashing is just as applicable to them now as it was in the 1st Century,  and is brought up to date and directed at similar behaviour today in religion by Jehovah's Witnesses. It is  definitely NOT music to the ears of these "dignitaries". Compare the 1st Century reaction to Stephen at Acts 7:57. And the attitude displayed at John 7:49-50 and John 11:9-11.

These men, in turn influence others less questioning in their minds and stir prejudice in seeking their own agendas as we have seen in many modern instances. The exposure of the tactics of Vladimir Mikhailovich Gundyayev and Alexander Leonidovich Dvorkin in the media and elsewhere in the forum are relevant to this question.

Simpe answer? It comes with the territory!

 

[Matthew9969]

Just curios, please describe the hatred you are experiencing.

[Matthew9969]

Could someone explain this so called Christians hating jw's?

Why do Jehovah's witnesses hate mainstream Christianity?

"Nontrinitarianism"  Wikipedia

In terms of number of adherents, nontrinitarian denominations comprise a small minority of modern Christianity. By far the three largest nontrinitarian Christian denominations are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("Mormons"), Jehovah's Witnesses and the Iglesia ni Cristo, though there are a number of other smaller groups, including Christadelphians, Christian Scientists, Dawn Bible Students, Living Church of God, Oneness Pentecostals, Assemblies of Yahweh, Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, Members Church of God International, Unitarian Universalist Christians, The Way International, The Church of God International and the United Church of God.

14.8 million Mormons 

 Iglesia ni Cristo: “There is no official count, however, Adherents.com claims that there are 27,000,000 members globally, while the Philippine Census Bureau claims that they represent 2.3% out of a population of 102,624,209 people as of July 2016.”    “Quora”

Just two choices and already the number of nontrinitarians far surpasses the number of JWs.  Those that “hate” JWs account for a small number, compared to those truly concerned for their spirituality. This is what I observe elsewhere.   I think it is apropos to ask why JWs “hate” someone who leaves lies and hypocrisy behind, realizing that turning to Christ is in line with what he taught.  (John 5:39,40)  They leave all “life” they had while in the organization to follow Christ; and for that, they are rejected by the organization, which Jesus predicted would happen among one’s own people.  Rev 13:4,15

Mark 8:35,38 - “For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's, will save it. For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

John 16:2,3 – “They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, (“meeting place”) but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.  These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.”

 “But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues (“meeting places”) and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake. It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony. (“Judicial hearing”)  So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves; for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute. But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death, (disfellowshipped:  spiritually “dead”) and you will be hated by all because of My name.  Yet not a hair of your head will perish.  By your endurance you will gain your lives.”  Luke 21:12-19

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”  John 14:6

JWs narrow-mindedly believe that their “persecution” by worldly governments fulfills scripture.  Not in the least.  Persecution comes from within the JW ranks, toward those seeking the unchangeable truth.   John 15:16
