To be a member of Jehovahs witness , you must accept their beliefs. Most, if not all Christian Churches (including Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists etc) regard Jehovah's Witnesses as a cult as they have heretical beliefs that are not the same as the orthodox Church. They refuse to accept Jesus as divine, regard the Trinity as the work of satan, regard all other beliefs (apart from their narrow branch of religion) also as the works of the devil and base their beliefs on a misinterpreted translation of scripture that was first suggested by their founder in the 19th Century, who refused to accept all that the Church, learned people, saints, theologians, Godly Christians and so on had taught, through God's revelation and with God's blessing, for the previous 1900 years. If you became a Jehovah's Witness, you would be expected to go from door-to-door trying to get new converts. You would not be allowed to celebrate either Christmas or your birthday. If you had an operation in hospital, you would be compelled to refuse a blood transfusion, even if it was the only option of saving your life. If your child, parent, spouse or any person to whom you were next of kin was in the same situation, you would have to refuse the transfusion for them too, even if it meant that that person would die. If you do not adhere to the strict conditions laid down by the Jehovah's Witness authorities in your 'Kingdom Hall' then you would be disfellowshipped - which means that the people in your church, even your family and friends (if also Witnesses) would shun you, not speak to you and have little if anything to do with you. All-in-all the vast majority of Christians therefore regard Jehovah's Witnesses as going against everything that Christ stood for - the warm love of God for us, the enjoyment of a God-given life and the love and forgiveness that we receive from God and which we are then to share with others. a person who is a Witness of Jehovah: yes, we don't celebrate pegin Holidays. But we do celebrate Jesus' Memorial. Because he gave his life for all humans.(MT 20:28) We don't get blood transfusions because its unclean (Genesis 9:4,5; LE 17:14). And there is many other was to replace blood, and you wont have the chance of getting Ads. or other sicknesses. And we do love jesus vary much. He gave his soul in behalf of us all.
