Found this set of photos of a mass baptism of Jehovah’s Witnesses in New York. Love the colored photos, and the bathing suits!

I think many households in predominantly Christian Nations do not openly welcome Jehovah’s Witnesses because their door to door ministry seems designed to mislead the housholder into beleiving the same lies that Satan told in the Garden of Eden.
If you read the following newsletter you should see the parallels to the Edenic Sin:

They really are like Satan dressed in a nice suit and tie knocking on your door!
No wonder so many Nations have banned them!

isaiah30v8,
I’ve decided not delete your comment simply because I’d like people to see just how ridiculous it is.
Do you scour the internet for tags that have jehovahs witnesses and copy and paste your fear based fundamentalist Christian propaganda?
I find it interesting that the name you’ve used to comment is Isaiah 30:8, have you taken up the internet as your “tablet” that you’ve chosen to serve as your “witness”?
Get a life!
Also, there is nothing productive about calling another human being “Satan dressed in a nice suit and tie knocking on your door.” Christians, more than anyone else, should be the ones leading the pack with an overwhelming spirit of grace, love, humility and inclusivity.
Imagine if a Jehovahs witness came knocking Jesus’ door – I think it might be similar to the story of Zacheus, where Jesus takes the time to actually eat and get to know Zacheus, thus transforming him by his love.
Of course, if you actually took time to get to know a Jehovah’s witness, and befriend them, it might not look so good to your other Christian friends – and your reputation would be damaged, and, ironically, you might actually run the risk of truly leading a Christ like life.
Alas, it seems to me that you are much more content with sitting behind your computer, copying and pasting your crap, keeping your “enemies” at arms length.
Isn’t it interesting that Jesus, the savior of the world, is the one who invites his enemies as close as he possibly can – and in the end, he allows the very one who betrays him to kiss him?
Think about that next time you decide to make an unrelated comment on a blog post.
