Hello Ruslan, I am a Jehovah's Witness :)

We consider it an honor to be hated by the masses. Jesus said his true followers would be ridiculed, lied about, even killed because of him. The bible also says that most people are on the road to destruction. If we are not hated, then we are doing something wrong. Not that we don't get frustrated when people do these things. Even Jesus called the scribes and pharisees hypocrites and liars. He said they were from their father Satan. But we look forward to the reward God offers us to be especially worth the suffering and the ridicule. Not to mention we love Jehovah and want to do what he commands.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

why does everyone else laugh at you??

it was foretold in 2 Peter 3:3-7

For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires

4*and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.”

5*For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God;

6*and by those [means] the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water

It's okay, I'm not at all offended.
At least we are in the conversation, right?
Even South Park makes fun~ They make fun of the good that we do : ) I laugh too when people are funny, even when it concerns my church.
Usually, I do not feel that any real harm is meant by it. Even if there is harm meant, big deal, let them say what they want.

Seriously, even total rudeness is what I expect to be dished from time to time and it's actually a privilege to be treated the same way as the Lord that I love.

Shall I quote some of the hilarious religious people of His day?
Luke 22
63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

Good one, eh? Just so funny, and they were perfectly okay with requiring that He die.

It doesn't hurt my feelings at all when people are rude to me because of my faith in Him, it's not MY church. It does make me feel very bad for Him though, to know that he suffered more than words from these same types.

So, making fun has nothing to do with truth. Many truths have been made fun of before the truths were proven.

If your life was put under a fine toothpick scrutiny by someone of the comedic persuasion, then everyone would probably laugh at you to. Would that change the truth of who you are? As far as your statement about "normal christians being ridiculed and killed too", quite often in modern times, they are the ones doing the killing and ridiculing.

People laugh at things they don't understand.

People also laugh at things that seem absurd or ridiculous to them.

All religions seem that way to those who think rationally and logically and I find it hilarious to think of some of the things people believe in. This applies not just to Mormons and Jehovahs witnesses but to all religions.

Your 100% Wrong. I am not from either one of those Religions and have Great Respect for them. The only ones who laugh or degrade them are the heathens. We need to Respect all Religions and Cultures. God Loves us all. They are not the but of everyones jokes and no one laughs at them unless it it a total dis-respectful Heathen. The Mormons are Great People and I can tell your one that has no Respect. You need to capitalize the word Mormon. No Respect at all. now you go slap yo momma for expelling a dis respectful heathen.
