How do Jehovahs Witnesses as Christians feel about wiccans?
Bibleteaches
Jehovah's Witnesses visit every home in their communities all around the globe. We do not discriminate against wiccans; just as we don't discriminate against people who are living in immorality.
Just as we feel an obligation to help homosexuals; drug addicts; drunkards; as well as Catholics; Mormons; Hindus, Buddhist's; we also desire to help Wiccans. We try to help anyone interested to learn the precious truths from God's holy word, The Bible. Then we also offer to help them make the needed changes, in order to conform to Jehovah's righteous requirement for mankind.
The following are some of the ways we feel about them:
Regarding Wiccans:Wiccans are followers of Wicca, which is according to TheAmerican Heritage College Dictionary:"a pagan nature religion having its roots in pre-Christian Western Europe,".
Why many become Wiccans: (this forms the basis of our feelings regarding them.)
Like many atheists who have abandoned mainstream religions because of the hypocrisy they find there; like many who have abandoned mainstream religions and become Jehovah's Witnesses; for many Wiccans, the primary reason for becoming witches is a sense of spiritual emptiness and a disenchantment with mainstream religions. Speaking of her coven, Phyllis Curott, a Wiccan high priestess, says: "All of us were dissatisfied with the teachings and practices of the religions with which we had been raised." Modern witches, Curott explains, try to answer questions such as, 'How can we rediscover the sacred?' But is witchcraft the path to genuine spirituality?
Many claim that by far most Wiccans use magic to do good. The Bible, however, makes no distinction between magic that is good and magic that is evil. In the Law given to Moses, God made his position quite clear. He said: "You must not practice magic." (Leviticus 19:26) We also read: "There should not be found in you . . . a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium." (Deuteronomy 18:10, 11.)
The dangers:
In one essay a promoter of witchcraft warns: "The Shadows are out there: They exist, in the invisible world that parallels our own, living creatures. . . . The terms 'Imp', 'Evil Spirit' and 'Demon' are fairly accurate. They are very strong. . . . The most intelligent variety . . . are capable (if someone is helpful enough to open a doorway for them) of entering our world. . . . They can enter your body . . . , even asserting a degree of control over you. Yes, this is exactly like the old stories of Demon possession."
The Bible clearly shows that Jehovah is the only true God and the Universal Sovereign. (Psalm 73:28; 1 Peter 1:15, 16; Revelation 4:11) He is inviting all people to seek him "and really find him." (Acts 17:27) Hence, genuine spirituality can be attained only by taking in accurate knowledge of the true God, Jehovah. This can be accomplished by studying his Word, the Holy Bible. "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you,". (James 4:8.)

Can a Jehovah witness date someone who is studying the faith?
There are many different type of Christianity based religions. Jehovah's Witnesses are one themselves. Being a christian is basically about believing that Christ was alive, and that he did come to earth at one point in time. The difference about Jehovah's witnesses and some other Christians is that Jehovahs witnesses believe that Christ was Jehovah's son, not God himself. And so, to answer your question, Jehovahs witnesses do not date girls or boys from different religions, Christian or not. If someone were to be in a relationship with a person who has a different god, it would almost be like he believes in that god as well. If a witness were to date a girl or boy of a different religion, it would be because he or she is not truly worshiping Jehovah.
What happens at the birth of a jehovahs witness?
You start loving and training the child. There are no rituals or solemn events setup and advocated. Many witnesses feel a gratefulness to their creator and a deep responsibility to care for the precious gift they now have.
If you have twenty elderly christians in one room a new persons comes to the centre and is a Jehovahs witness how do we intergrate the new person without offending the other 20 or so people who have b?
I grew up as a Jehovahs witness and I always felt worse when people made a huge deal in making thing separate. All people are different in their beliefs and some are more strict then others, but in general Jehovahs witnesses are kind and will resectfully back away if there is anything that they feel uncomfortable with. Just talk to the person, I am sure they will let you know how they feel, and where they draw the line. For the most part though they will not take part of any holiday events and if they have been practiceing long they will be use to not being involved.
How do Jewish people feel about Jehovah's Witnesses?
Answer 1Unless there is some pressing reason, we don't comment upon how non-Jews worship or what they believe; and nor do we proselytize.Answer 2Jews do not see Jehovah's Witnesses in any way different than they see Christians in general, which is that Christians are entirely entitled to their religion and way of life - it just is not the Jewish way. However, since Jehovah's Witnesses proselytize more openly, especially in Jewish areas, Jews have a slightly negative view towards them on account of the proselytizing. If Jehovah's Witnesses did not proselytize to Jews, Jews would have no opinion of them for or against.
Are Jehovahs concerned about the environment?
Yes. Jehovah's witnesses do their best to try not to litter, pollute unnecessarily, or destroy earth's natural balance. In fact, they feel strongly about those who DO ruin the earth because at Revelation 11:18, it says that Jehovah will bring to ruin those ruining the earth.
How do you Wiccans feel about Western medicine?
Wicca was created in London, UK in 1953 and is based on what survives of the ancient ways. Wiccans really like "Western Medicine" since most are "Westerners" and have no qualms about using science to their advantage.
Are jehovas witnesses christian?
Jehovah's Witnesses indeed claim that they are Christians. Jehovah's Witnesses are "followers of Christ", implying that even if they don't claim to be Christians (which they/we do), they would be anyway. Jehovah's Witnesses indeed claim to be Christian. They accept Jesus as the son of God, being of divine nature. They believe he had a prehuman existence and came to earth to die for mankind's sins. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there can be no salvation without accepting Jesus sacrifice and honour Jesus as their King and Leader. Since to be a 'christian' means to follow Jesus' example and obey him, they preach the bible in imitation of their leader Jesus, and try to be like him in word and deed. So, yes, Jehovah's Witnesses feel they have the right to be called Christian. Any 'confusion' that has arisen in this regard may be from the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus to be God's Son and not Almighty God himself. They reject the teaching of the trinity as unscriptural. == ==
Do the Jonas Brothers hate Wiccans?
There is no definitive yes or no answer to this question, because the Jonas Brothers have not expressed an opinion that would suggest what they feel about the faith.
What Earth-based belief systems or religions exist?
Well, the primary one that I know of is Wicca/Witchcraft. There are at least as many different kinds of Wiccans/wiccans/witches as there are Christians, so a lot of them fall under that umbrella. Then there are the native American beliefs, which are separated from the neopagan religions in that they have survived intact from ancient times, rather than being reconstructed. Also, I think Asatru (Norse pagan beliefs) reveres the Earth. If I've missed any, please feel free to add.
What do Christians feel like at Easter?
Happy :)

What are some wicca pilgrimages?
I don't think there is such a thing. A pilgrimage is a long journey of spritual significance, and there is no need for Wiccans to go anywhere unless they feel they need to.
