Jehovah Witnesses are not a business. It's a religion! I'm one of Jehovah Witnesses. Here's balance I prove that we are not a business. 1. We preach about Jehovah God's Kingdom. 2. We help people with understanding the Bible. We also offer free Bible studies. 3. We have Kingdom Halls where we worship our God Jehovah. 4. When we preaching we offer literature that is based on the Bible. 5. We follow Christ Jesus and not man. There's a lot more I'd like to say but just thought I'll list a few.

Not for everybody, but none the less there are a lot of people who treat it as such. Most televangelists are only out to make a buck or a million. But all in all I think its business aspects are secondary, mainly its wish fulfillment

It is not only business, but also government. The whole legal system originated in Religious Law.

religion per se is of very little importance.
what is important is YOUR personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
don't get hung up on "religion".
please read John 3:1-16

In Luke 2:49 (King James and New King James) Jesus said He was doing His Father's business.
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
Most other translations say He was "in His Father's house".
Either way that business is spreading the Good News of salvation.

Absolutely!
What is the most important item in any church? The collection plate.
Religion is the longest running con-game in history. Designed to fleece gullible morons of thier money.
Nothing more.

No,definately not.religion to me is a form of belonging to the big picture of life.to me it is having a foundation in general.some sort of meaning to your existence,whether you are catholic,muslim,athiest or hindu.i believe we all have the same "aim or goal" ,just different strategies[believes] and means and ways of getting there .and should not judge one another.
Religion is not business,pastors,congregation etc just gather and collect funds and donations to uphold the church and to run it properly.After all that is what all non-profit organsations do!!!!!!!!!

Yes most always involves some form of commercialism.
