There are a few things to consider regarding your sister joining the Jehovah's Witnesses:

1. The Jehovah's Witnesses have some beliefs and practices that can be concerning, including:

• Shunning of former members. They often require current members to cut off contact with former members, even family. This could affect your relationship with your sister.

• Restrictions on higher education, careers, and political involvement. They discourage members from pursuing certain goals and interests. This could limit your sister's options.

• Extreme absolutism and legalism in their interpretations of the Bible. They take a rigid, rules-based approach that some consider extreme.

• Rejection of blood transfusions, even life-saving ones. This could pose health risks for your sister.

2. Your sister's transition from Catholicism to the Jehovah's Witnesses suggests she may be prone to joining very strict, all-consuming religious groups. This could cause issues in her life.

3. Joining any new religious group can be risky and cause strain on family relationships, even mainstream ones. The transition period can be difficult.

4. Overall, the Jehovah's Witnesses are considered a high-control religious group. They seek to exercise significant influence over members' lives. This level of control could concern you.

So in summary, while joining any religion is your sister's choice, there are some specific risks and potential concerns with the Jehovah's Witnesses. I would recommend the following:

• Educate yourself further on their beliefs and practices.

• Talk to your sister openly and non-judgmentally about her reasons for joining and any concerns you have.

• Monitor the situation for any signs her involvement is becoming extreme or negatively impacting her life or your relationship.

• Stay connected with your sister and make it clear your love is unconditional, regardless of her religious choices.

Hope this perspective helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. The important thing is maintaining an open, loving relationship with your sister through this transition.

[AmeerX]

That is alarming indeed 👀

[Alwayreckles93]

It's concerning.

[Alwayreckles93]

Shetold the whole family even if she's dying shenwill not accept blood transfusion.

[TrueConfection]

Absolutely! Better explain the Holy Trinity to her again. JWs also "shun" family members who don't belong to their cult.

[Alwayreckles93]

I had a talk with her about there weird beliefs. My sister disregard it.

[Alwayreckles93]

Now when my sister sneeze she won't say thank you when someonetells her bless you.

[TrueConfection]

She needs the bible, not the watchtower. Remind her to follow God and not man.

[Alwayreckles93]

I showed her the scripter that says we are saved by grace. Jesus has said Im the only way. Scary thing jw don't believe in hell which is a red flag. I made an appointment with my pastor to have a serious talk with my sister. I have funny weird silly believes.

[TrueConfection]

I think meeting with your pastor is a great idea. Keep praying for her!

[Anonymous]

If you are close to her, maybe. ﾠ

[Dargil]

JW do not believe Jesus Christ is G0d Incarnate. Catholic and Evangelical doctrine hold that He IS. If she makes this choice, she may stand in Judgement, being all dressed up and nowhere to go.

These are undeniable proofs. While the Trinity is onot named in Scripture, per se, these bear it out

Matthew 28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

John 10:30
I and The Father are One.

2 Corinthians 13:14
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

She will attempt to dismantle your Catholic Faith. Take comfort in these proofs.

I live a "dual life". Raised as an Evangelical, Married a faithful Catholic and accept both disciplines. by the way. Francis is the Biden of The Church. We need a new JP2.

[Alwayreckles93]

You know your facts well.

[AmeerX]

Wow, if they don't believe in Jesus as God then they are pretty close to Muslim doctrine.

[Dargil]

@AmeerX. Or Mormons.

[Alwayreckles93]

Morons are devolical too.

[Alwayreckles93]

Mormons sorry

[Dargil]

JW and LDS are cults.

[AmeerX]

What's LDS?
It does look like they are cultists

[Dargil]

@AmeerX LDS is Latter Day Saints. Mormons. I was in it for a year.

[AmeerX]

@alwayreckles93 morons and Mormons 🙄. I see what you did here 🤣.

[AmeerX]

@Dargil what do Latter Day Saints say?

[Dargil]

@AmeerX. Jesus is a construct but not G0d incarnate. The also believe Jesus walked among the Aztecs or Incas.

[AmeerX]

Well, my respects. But it's obviously different from Muslim belief. For us God is God and no other associate to Him is allowed.

[LiamJHayden]

Individual JW's are nice, but belong to an authoritarian cult. Why do I say this? If someone joins, and then voluntarily leaves, members are supposed to ignore/shun the former member. They also have a long history of changing doctrines, often back and forth. There are lots of resources online that describe these specifics.

[Alwayreckles93]

Have you met JW people personally?

[exitseven]

Yes, my brother's wife joined that cult. The next thing i know she is having my brother brainwashed. We used to send his kidsChrismals presents and his wife would send tham back to us.

[Alwayreckles93]

Do you still talk and hang out with your brother? Send back presents wellthats sad. How did she ended up in that mess?

[exitseven]

I have not talked to my brother in ten years. After my mother died his wife accused me of ripping them off. I had to handlea ll the finances because my brother said he was too busy. I told her that any time my brother wants to see how i handled everything he is more than welcome. I will show him anything he wants to see. Then I told her that I did not have to show her anything. I never heard from either of them again.

[Anonymous]

Yes, your sister is being led down a satanic path through deception. Listen to the short video below that gives a very good summary

https://www.youtube.com/embed/9R67NcpQCuk

[Alwayreckles93]

Wow that is concerning. Thank you forntaking yourntimenin helping I really appreciate your help thisbvidoe abswer a lot of my questions.

[Opinion Owner]

There are serious issues with catholism as well so she's leaving one problem for another. If you are interested in really getting deep into it, you will want to watch this video that focuses and examines all of the facts:

https://youtu.be/FFIAFPmBvRw

[Staximus]

Jehovah's witness have some weird and crazy rules. Tell your sister not to join their cult.

[Alwayreckles93]

I made an appointment with my pastor to speak with my sister.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes you should be worried cause if she becomes one of there she can no longer talk to you or anyone else that isn't a Jehovah's witness

[Alwayreckles93]

They have thierbown strange world from what I've heard.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes they do and the don't deal with anybody outside of their religion it's like a cult and it doesn't matter if there family

[WhiteBoyChill]

Those guys don’t even believe in celebrating Christmas or Birthdays. I think you should be worried. It just seems like a depressing existence

[Alwayreckles93]

Seems boring and depressing.

[Alwayreckles93]

Now she told everyone in the family if she was even dying she will not accept blood transfusions.

[WhiteBoyChill]

That’s insane

[admles]

I married to an ex-JW, who left the church because of it's cult-like nature, but as she says, all churches are cults at heart.

[Mansearching]

Tbh... why would you be worried? Believing in GOD isn't just one denomination thing. Its just language and how you interpret your ways of belief.

[ROGERTC1]

JW are kind of cultists. Still very good people.

[Alwayreckles93]

You havefriends that are JW?

[ROGERTC1]

I have JW friends. I am Jewish.

[Anonymous]

Yes, but what can you do? Tell her how you feel and let it go at that.

[Alwayreckles93]

You do realize this is a dangerous cult?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, I am aware of that.

[Anonymous]

It's all religion and I'd avoid them all like the plague

[Exterminatore]

Yes. It’s a cult.

[Alwayreckles93]

What strange believes do these people have?

[Exterminatore]

A lot of them.

Check out the beliefs section in this. This is what they believe:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses

[Alwayreckles93]

Thank you Sir for taking your time in helping.

[Alwayreckles93]

From that statement you posted it is enough to be concern.

[Exterminatore]

You’re welcome.

[Exterminatore]

Glad I could help.

[Andres77]

What Bible is she studying?

[Alwayreckles93]

Atalaya is what my sister told me.

[jahaims]
