Either a religion or a cult depending on your point of view. If you want to keep them from knocking on your door, put one of those "Save a life, give blood" stickers in your window.

Jehovas witnesses act suspiciously like freemasons.
They are very good at looking after each other but I dont know about any kind of charitable work they do outside their own community.I would like to know if they do.

The "Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses" is a religion which believes strongly that the bible is the only inspired infallible means of learning God's will and purposes for the future. They also recognize the Christian commission to preach Kingdom "good news" globally and to their neighbors.
Jehovah's Witnesses understand the Scriptures to teach that God's Kingdom will soon replace all earthly governments.
(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite
That Kingdom will rule over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.
(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire
While a limitted number of humans will be resurrected to heaven to share in ruling over mankind, the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]
Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

LOL, Jeramy!!! Funny stuff. Ok it is a religion where they do not believe in celebrating anything other then God, they do not celebrate birthdays, christmas, ect. It's sad for the kids I do say (we had neigbors and the kids would sit at the window and watch all of us kids trick-or-treat). Part of the religion is to get more people to join the religion, by going door to door to recruit new members. If you don't want them coming to your house you can put up the no socliatating signs, answer the door naked(works better for men the woman tho), call your dog "Satan", or just be polite and say you warship the Devil.

They are probably one of the smallest groups regarding religion. Most of them are in North America. They believe in Adam And Eve and not evolution. They are nice people and do not want to hurt anyone like a lot of other small religions.

A bunch of idiots who rob people out of their hard earned money, who have there own version of how you should follow God, and that's their way everyone else are wrong, yet they have no proof that they are right, they are bullies who try and force you to join, and even when you tell them to pi*s off they still come and know on your door, they want total control of you, and once you sign up they own you

It is a religious afiliation. They are the ones who come around to your door with religious literature. I don't think they believe in Christmas either.
