I have a paper about jehova's witnesses and was wondering if one can answer a few questions?

Question

What are your feelings, as a Jehova's Witness, on gender roles in your religion?

(ie what men and women are expected to do)

What are your feelings on abortion?

Do you feel you are discriminated because of your religion?

please include your age/gender/educational level

I know Ryan asked this question, he is right next to me! No one answered him. He is trying to get his paper done.

Answer 1

Hello. I am a 22 year old male witness with HS level education. I am not sure where in life you are referring to as far as gender roles??
In the home the Husband is the head, but not to the exclusion of the Wife, rather he is to treat her as his partner.

If you are referring to with in the congregation, while it is true that males have a majority, in most cases, of the responsibilities, Women are given respect and responsibilities to. They are not devalued for not doing the same jobs as Men.Different jobs but same importance.

In every day life Women are expected to serve Jehovah first and foremost just like the Men. They work and are to be treated with respect and equality.

Abortion is wrong. Jehovah created us. It is not our right to decide that a fetus dies.

At times, most everyone is discriminated against for some reason whether it be race or religion. Jesus even said that true Christians, on some level, will be hated for they are no part of the world, or rather the worldly spirit in which most people live.

Hope this helps. If you want to know more your best bet is to contact your local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Answer 2

Hello. I hope I can help. I am 18 and i am a female , i also just graduated from highschool. Ok, um I don't believe in abortion because in the bible God says that life is sacred and an unborn baby is considered a life. I do not feel discriminated about my religion because although a lot of people do make fun of me and my religion Jesus Christ said we should be prepared for this because he was persecuted for preaching Jehova's word and he was killed for it so if we did the same things he did, as in preaching about Jehovah and his Kingdom, it would happen to us too. I hope i helped! oh and if you're doing a paper on discrimination on our religion it would be interesting to take a look into the holocaust. you will see how we were persecuted
