Whats the significance of the word "Testimony"??

Answer 1

It validates the truth.

Answer 2

A testimony is when someone who is not that important endorse a product. Its pretty much telling you their experience with the product. If its law wise then its what they believe they saw. Testimony is notoriously inacurate as far as the law is concern. People think they saw what they saw. The rest is made up by their mind.

Note that if a celebrity tells you about a product then is called an endorsement. If Michale Jordan wears a Nikey hat he gets paid millions of dollars for the endorsement. If you or me wear the same Nikey hat then we pay 30% more of what is worth to the company. Makes you wonder because wearing some company's logo in public is giving them free advertisement.

Answer 3

It can include many thngs, like when one was saved and the events leading up to ones Salvation and the things that have occured since.

Answer 4

In law and in religion, testimony is a solemn attestation as to the truth of a matter.

In the law, testimony is a form of evidence that is obtained from a witness who makes a solemn statement or declaration of fact. Testimony may be oral or written, and it is usually made by oath or affirmation under penalty of perjury. Unless a witness is testifying as an expert witness, testimony in the form of opinions or inferences is generally limited to those opinions or inferences that are rationally based on the perceptions of the witness and are helpful to a clear understanding of the witness' testimony.

A subpoena commands a person to appear. It is compulsory to comply.

When a witness is asked a question, the opposing attorney can raise an objection which is a legal move to disallow an improper question, preferably before the witness answers, and mentioning one of the standard reasons, including:

* argumentative or inflammatory
* asked and answered
* best evidence rule
* calls for speculation
* calls for a conclusion
* compound question or narrative
* hearsay
* irrelevant, immaterial, incompetent
* lack of foundation
* leading question
* privilege
* vague

There may also be an objection to the answer, including:

* non-responsive

Up until the mid-20th century, in much of the United States, an attorney often had to follow an objection with an exception to preserve the issue for appeal. If an attorney failed to "take an exception" immediately after the court's ruling on the objection, he waived his client's right to appeal the issue. Exceptions have since been abolished, due to the widespread recognition that forcing lawyers to take them was a waste of time.


In religion, testimony generally involves an inward belief or outward profession of faith or of personal religious experience. In some religions (most notably Mormonism and Islam) many adherents testify as a profession of their faith, often to a congregation of believers. In Mormonism, testifying is also referred to as "bearing one's testimony," and often involves the sharing of personal experience—ranging from a simple anecdote to an account of personal revelation—followed by a statement of belief that has been confirmed by this experience. Christians in general use the term "testify" or "to give your testimony" to mean "the story of how you became a Christian." Sometimes very dramatic testimonies are asked to be told at gatherings, such as a former problem drinker telling of how they randomly opened the Bible and their finger went to the verse about "do not become drunk with wine" and that began their acceptance of Christ. In addition to outward professions of faith, testimony also may refer to an inwardly-held belief, even if not shared.
