Why they might be annoying:

    They refuse blood transfusions, preferring death over it.
    Many children used to die needlessly because of the parents' refusal of transfusions for them. Doctors now have authority to overrule parents who make these decisions.
    They like to preach gospel by knocking on non-believers' doors at the crack of dawn.
    They predict a date that Christ will return to Earth and have not been right yet.
    They have used excuses that Christ did come but it was an invisible coming or that the dates were not calculated correctly.
    They are a cult.
    Their headquarters is in Brooklyn, New York (what cockamamie religion would be headquartered in Brooklyn?).
    They tattle on each other.
    Like most religions, they interpret scripture for their own means.
    They call their church, Kingdom Hall.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They don't smoke or excessively drink alcohol.
    They don't pierce themselves or tattoo their bodies.
    There is no paid pastor during congregations.
    They don't believe in exorcisms, faith healings or supernatural visions.
