We are listed in many sources, including answers . com -- in the Christian section - - yet others view us as non-Christian, and view us as a cult. That's discrimination based probably largely on jealousy and hatred (or gross-misinformation).
When Jehovah's Witnesses visit people at their homes to help them understand The Bible - - they send us away in an undignified manner. Imagine a kindly stranger coming to your door to speak about Jehovah God - - do you think Jehovah would mind if you all talked about him together? Sending a personal witness of Jehovah God away, is discrimination in a total way.
But we're ok with discrimination. It has no effect on us. We allow everyone to reap what they sow.
Not sure if this is exactly what you would be looking for, but... I have heard of people's kids being taken away because judges don't understand our stand on blood. Adults and children have gotten picked on for not partaking in National Anthems or "optional" holiday parties. People like to overgeneralize and think you don't like gift giving at all and will try to speak up for you when something arises, not realizing that you are actually fine with something just because they are trying to protect you, but end up making it worse. I've gotten bullied by professors who have relabeled Christmas parties as Winter gatherings to try and be PC just to not hurt my feelings only to seemingly blatantly mock me, as they keep everything else the same (aka the secret Santa and tree ornaments and dinner arrangements). True, that's not really discrimination per se, but that's what I've known.
We have DVD's showing our history, though, where not saluting the flag led to hangings, castrations, hall burnings, school expulsions, etc. Also, you hear many stories through our yearbooks about brothers and sisters overseas facing persecution and having to protect each other through real trials. For instance, in Rwanda, the Hutu and Tutsi brothers safeguarded each other through all the years of persecution. Hope that answers your question.

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.
