Hey Guys !
It is me again. Hope you are all well. I am just wondering if anyone could help me regarding the matter of Jehovah's witnesses. I am only asking this because a few years ago me and my husband got acquiented and became friends with a couple that where believers . They came to the door with a few magazines and were intrested if we would like to read them , and because the husband of this couple was of Irish Nationality. It was really easy and nice for me and my husband to want to get to know them s little more. However the problem is whenever they want to come and visit us, they always want to talk about the bible , and offer to give us small talks about the bible. We can never really understand why they just don't want to come around to see us as friends. It is almost everytime they come the time is spent talking about the bible. I've even told them many times that I'm personally a little uncomfortable with the fact that all they want to do is just read the bible every time they visit, but they never seem to want to give up.
The other thing that really confuses me is that when they start to give us these bible studies, or small talks they very often refer to themselves as being "Christains", and belevers of Christ. Which leads me to ask the following questions are Jehovah Witnesses catergorised as being Christains and also witnesses? What is the diffrence? Why do they reffer to themselves as being both? Can anyone help answer?
Thanks
