They believe they are the chosen ones. The only ones to be recognised on judgement day. Their belief is that after that they will dwell here on Earth in perfect harmony. Its a tripper this one.

Time and space on this forum does not permit your question to be answered as respects the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses. But you will get a number of responses from those who are not witnesses - those responses will include a small portion of truth liberally mixed with quite a bit of rumors, innuendo and outright hostility. There will also be untruths. This is usually the source of the controversy. If you really wish to know the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses, you should visit the site www.watchtower.org. Or you may contact any one of Jehovah's Witnesses - they will be happy to answer your question.

The sell their beliefs door to door. The only thing they celebrate is a wedding anniversary. They do not believe in luck or fate and so much more. No flags or nations, will not go into the military even if shot. I could go on and on for I have first hand knowledge my ex-wife is Witness.

HI! Just adding a click able link. Some of my brothers and sisters got here first! Just a note also, in the USA there is great opposition to our visits, but in many foreign countries people follow us around to get spiritual food. The new Kingdom halls being built are filling up so fast that they are constantly looking for new places to build them!
Click and enjoy!

They take a very literal sense of the bible. The believe in Jesus and claim that the word Jehovah for the name of god appeared in original copies of the bible but has been removed from most King James version of today's bibles.

well, no blood transfusions, only a certain number of people go to heaven, watchtower magazines everywhere you turn, no holidays or birthday celebrations.

I know they don't celebrate any holidays. Why? I don't know.
