If Jews is consider a race or an ethnic group ---would Mormons & Jehovah Witnesst be consider minority too?

Question

They are--------- mostly just Whites

Answer 1

Judaism is a minority religion, as is Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and tons of other religions.

What sets Jews apart is their culture stretching back thousands of years, the fact that Jews always get/have gotten the shaft in every civilization in history (except Israel), and that Judaism is considered a race.

I think this is a good question, though.

Answer 2

Jewish is a race, religion, & ethnic group. They come from all over the world. As for Jehovah's Witnesses & Mormons, they are religions that are sects of Christianity. They are a religious minority, in a world dominated by Catholicism & other forms of Protestantism. Both sects of Christianity maybe mostly white for now, but both happen to be growing in non white parts of the world.

Answer 3

Frankly, if "whites" still constitute a majority of Jehovah's Witnesses, it is perhaps by the tiniest of margins. Jehovah's Witness statistics show about 6.7 million active Witnesses, but less than half across Europe, Canada, and the USA. The Witnesses' larger "Memorial" figures show 16.7 million globally, with only about a third of that in those predominantly "white" countries (see "Source" below for hyperlink to statistics).

In most geographic areas, Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are religious minorities who reflect the same racial and ethnic constituency as the surrounding community. Neither religion represents a genetically homogeneous group (or is likely to in the future) since they both are well-integrated into the communities in which they live. Both have a steady influx of genetic material from new converts and adherents who have married outside their faith (before or after conversion).

By contrast, most Jews are descendants of one man (Abraham's grandson Jacob [later named "Israel"]). It seems that only a generation or three after Jacob his descendants began intermarrying almost exclusively within the extended family (or "tribes") of Israel. For thousands of years Jews have continued to be a relatively closed group which did not have a steady stream of proselytes contributing extraneous genetic diversity.

The term "Jew" should be carefully used in context. It is well-accepted as the term for an adherent of the religion of Judaism. A Jew who has converted to a different religion will sometimes specify that he is "an ethnic Jew". The term "Israelite" is only biblical (a citizen of modern Israel is called "an Israeli") and the term "Hebrew" mostly refers to the language.

Answer 4

The term "Jew" is both a religion & race. As for Mormons & JW's, those are religious terms. Jewish people come from all over the world, but not all Jewish people are religious Jews. Some are Muslims, some are Christians, some may even be Mormons or JW's.

Answer 5

You seem to have a basic inability to pose a clear question, but you seem to be suggesting most Witnesses are white. This is incorrect. It's true that Mormons are mostly white.

Answer 6

I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses. In my congregation, whites are a minority.

Answer 7

Just ghostly stories created by the dirty old men back in the past in planet of apes.

Answer 8

Nope. Nobody is born a Mormon or J.W. ...although Mormons are not gentiles either.

Answer 9

You ask this question as if you expect fairness and justice in the world. Liberal commie!!!

Answer 10
