I feel if someone constantly disagrees with your opinions...By the way this person is a JEHOVAH WITNESS,?

Question

there is nothing wrong with her religion. But I do FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AROUND HER...Because she is sooo very serious and constantly says.."You're wrong......." and i say.."well, I do not THINK SO.."...But it is just a difference of opinion...WOULD YOU HANG AROUND HER IF YOU FELT like i did???

Answer 1

Well, are you wrong?

I say this because as a rule, Jehovah's Witnesses know more about the Bible than the majority of the world does.  A simple fact.

Or is it just "her personality" you find objectionable.  That could be a possibility.  There are all types.

Two people can say the same thing to you.  One you will hate.  The other you will love and can't wait for more.  It is all in how it is presented.

If it is just personality, I would suggest just going to her and telling her how you feel and why.  It would certainly help her if that is her normal attitude.

If it is you who just doesn't like to called wrong when you are, then you need to take personal time to work on yourself.

Answer 2

I would just say, let's not discuss religion...and just agree to disagree. If she can't do that, then you may need to not be around her if only for your own sanity.

Answer 3

Truly, only you can know the answer to this one.

But, I would say, as an indicator...

LOOK! at what you wrote in all caps:

"Jehovah's Witness,

Feel very uncomfortable around her,

Think so,

Would you hang around her if you felt."  

How do you feel about going to your friend and talking to her,

honestly and in a mature manner ?

I'm quite sure she'd appreciate the candor.

Answer 4

Why would you want to know????

Answer 5

Vot wonders why the emphasis on the girl's religion.

Is that how ALL Witnesses behave? Would you feel any different if someone of another religion was like her?

There's over 6 billion people in the world to be friends with. If a person makes you feel uncomfortable,why hang out with them?

Answer 6

Debbie made me think of a couple Pioneers (full-time Ministers in the door-to-door work).  I love them both to pieces and enjoyed going out in the Ministry with them as often as possible.

One of them- Melvia, is very blunt and sometimes lacks tact.  Cathy is very sweet and soft spoken.  They were "pioneer partners" for many years and watching them together makes my heart swell.  They are compete opposite personalities and act like "an old married couple" when the day is slow and long.  But that's them and I couldn't imagine them any other way.

Perhaps your friend (?) is like that.

But I must ask:  what are the conversations regarding when she tells you you're wrong?  If you're having religious conversations or debates, perhaps she's just zealously defending her beliefs?  If it's about personal matters- then maybe she's just a tactless/argumentative sort lol.

Either way, if you value the time you spend with her, tell her how you feel.  Ask her to remember lessons we're (JW's) are taught on the 'School" about reaching a persons heart and not arguing with our audience.  At the Oral Review tonight the conductor brought out that it IS okay to yield when having a discussion.  Sometimes people will never see eye to eye and JW's aren't supposed to argue for the point of arguing.

Whether or not you continue to hang around her is entirely up to you and if you feel you gain anything from the time you spend around her.

Answer 7

Leave the topic alone.  That is if you want to continue the relationship.  If I can't agree on say the LORD's PRAYER then why associate with that person?

Answer 8

Jehovahs Witnesses are taught that they are going to be the only survivors of Armeggedon ...everyone else, they believe are going to die.  I see SO many JWs that are brainwashed into thinking that they are right and everyone else is wrong, that's enough to make them very arrogant and know-it-all's!  The best that you can do is either avoid her or simply realize that she belongs to a very mind controlled group and look at her as mentally ill.

**look at your JW answers, they may call themselves being politically correct by saying to stop hanging out with her....but they are defending her at the same time.

Answer 9

you're wrong...lol

There was a commercial on TV with two guys sitting on a high rise beam for lunch...they didn't agree and one kept says yes it's true and the other was calmly saying...you're wrong Fred, your wrong....

Well some people just get along like that..they don't want to lose their temper..but they can't let you think they believe  something if it are wrong.

She may be trying to study the bible with you......tell her if you just want to chat...there is a time and place for everything.

Answer 10

If you feel uncomfortable with it you need to discuss it with her. If she is your friend, she will not want to make you feel like that.

She is serious because worshiping Jehovah is serious. It is good that she takes it like that, but you need to talk to her. Then if she keeps on making you fell like that, then you would have no choice than to quit hanging around with her.

Have you asked her why she thinks that she is right? Make her show you from the bible why she thinks that. [ that is if the disagreement is about the bible.] Maybe she is right.

sillygirl-- If you were one, then you know that what you say is incorrect!

Answer 11

I just read through some of your questions , now i have a head ache.

You ask too much about other people .

Maybe you are wrong.

Answer 12

Well if she makes comments to you such as this one above:

"I say this because as a rule, Jehovah's Witnesses know more about the Bible than the majority of the world does. A simple fact."

Then I completely understand why the emphasis is on her religion.

If she makes you uncomfortable, you do not need to hang out with her.
