That God's Kingdom will soon exercise authority over the earth and that Jesus will at that time bring about the destruction of those opposing that Kingdom and establish peaceful conditions once again upon the earth.
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that God's name is Jehovah,and that Jesus commanded his followers to preach the good news about the kingdom of God giving all a chance to make a stand for or against it.So we witness to others about that kingdom, which is the main part of our worship so we are Jehovah's Witnesses.
We adhere strictly to the Bible,remain neutral and stay out of politics, refrain from celebrating holidays with ties to false worship,and refuse to accept blood transfusions as the Bible says to abstain from blood.We will accept medical care to prolong our lives that does not conflict with the Bible.
You asked without giving specifics,if you really want to know more,contact the local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in your area, we are in the phone book, or when they come to your door ask for a free home Bible study and they will arrange to call at your convenience.You can get your questions answered and ask them to stop calling on you if no longer interested.

I believe that fellow humans better start asking questions and then look in all seriousness at what God's word is saying.
Why is it that there is so much assuming and not any testing to see the truths of God's word. These truths mean the difference between life and death. Now is the time to humble all hearts and minds and listen to our creators instructions as to his plans for his earth and our survival.
The world hates the followers of Jesus and his father, but all still have the option to turn around and see for themselves the truth.
It just takes a humble heart and a questioning mind to realize that there is a true God and he will rule over his earth soon. Those who oppose him will be cut off. and those who learn and turn around will live on earth forever. Psalms 37:9-11,29, Mathew 5:5, Revelation 21:3,4.
This is what Jehovah's Witnesses believe and that is why they go from door to door to help people see the truth of God's word. That's why they conduct home bible studies. Mathew 28:18,19. Right now they are active in 235 lands and are doing as Mathew 24:14 says., after that th end of this way of life which is under Satan's control will end. .gemhandy@gmail.com

That Jehovah is God almighty. Jesus is his son. Jesus came to earth and gave his life as a ransom sacrifice for the sins of mankind. Jesus now is in heaven with his father. Jesus is the one who we must follow as a model to live by here on earth. Jehovah will soon destroy this wicked system of things and Christ will rule the earth for a thousand years. Satan will be loosed for a short time after that. Then all that side with Satan will be destroyed and then the righteous will inherit the earth and reside upon it forever. (Psalm 37:29)

Signs of Much Greater Importance
When Jesus Christ was on earth, he gave his listeners a lesson in observing signs and acting accordingly. He was talking about something of far-reaching importance. The Bible reports: “The Pharisees and Sadducees approached him and, to tempt him, they asked him to display to them a sign from heaven. In reply he said to them: ‘When evening falls you are accustomed to say, “It will be fair weather, for the sky is fire-red”; and at morning, “It will be wintry, rainy weather today, for the sky is fire-red, but gloomy-looking.” You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot interpret.’”—Matthew 16:1-3.

In mentioning “the signs of the times,” Jesus indicated that his first-century Jewish listeners should have been aware of the urgency of the times in which they were living. The Jewish system of things was about to experience a cataclysm that would affect all of them. A few days before his death, Jesus spoke to his disciples about another sign—the sign of his presence. What he said on that occasion is of vital importance to everyone today.

The Jehovah Witnesses believe this and want the same as our Creator - as many people as possible to choose life. But sadly, the Bible says many will treat these days of the end of this system just like Noah's day, not paying attention to the signs. (Matthew 24:38-39) 38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

I noticed some answers on this question are not from Jehovah Witnesses!

It is impossible in just a few words to describe what we believe, but I will try to be brief;
The dominant theme of the Bible that clearly runs throughout the Scriptures, is God's Kingdom and his name Jehovah.
The Scriprtures show that the seat of this government is in the heavens and that the N\Messiah, resurrected from death to God's right hand, is it's Ruler.(Psalm110:1,2) Jehovah's Witnesses believe that eventually billions will receive everlasting life here on earth, as subjects of the Messianic rule. Thus we are firmly convinced that the earth will never be destroyed and that the Bible promise will be fulfilled:"The righteous themselves will posess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." (Psalm37:29).
But how will God's Kingdom come? The Bible realistically shows that the coming of the Kingdom will require God's direct intervention in earth's affairs:"The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself...will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.(Daniel2:44).
When wil God's Kingdom come? On the basis of Bible perophecies now being fulfilled, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that it will come in our day. The Greek Scriptures contain prophecies that fortell in detail features of the last days of this system of things. We invite people to consider some of these prophecies recorded at Matthew24:3-14 ; Luke21:7-13,25-32;and 2Timothy3:1-5
Because we love Jehovah our God with our whole heart, soul mind,and strength, and love our neighbors as ourselves, we are not divided nationally,racially or socially.(Leviticus19:18 ; Deutronomy6:4,5 ; Mark12:30,31) We are widely noted for the love and unity manifested among our spiritual brothers, who are found inb all nations. This is in harmony withthe prophecies concerning the last days, that speak of people of all nations worshiping God in unity and not learning war anymore.(Isaiah2:2-4 ; Zephaniah3:9 ; John13:35) Thus we maintain a neutral stand toward the political affairs of all nations. We believe that worshipping God properly \means avoiding immoral conduct, including lying, stealing, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, the misuse of blood, idolatry, and other such things condemned in the Scriptures.(Exodus20:3-5,13-17 ; Leviticus17:10 ; 20:13 ; Psalm15:1-5 ; 1Corinthians6:9-11).
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the present system of things, with it's cycle of birth, life and death, is not all there is. We have complete confidence in a future life, including a resurrection from the dead under God's Kingdom. We believe as the Bible teaches,that when a person dies, his existence really ceases.(Psalm146:3,4 ; Ecclesiastes9:5 ; Ezekiel18:4) Therefore the Bible does not teach the concept of an immortal Soul or of reincarnation. Rather, future life for the dead is based on God's rememberance ofg them in a resurrection.(Isaiah25:8 ; Daniel12:1,2,13).
However Jehovah's Witnesses are convinced that many now living will survive whjen God's Kingdom brings an end to all present systems or rulership.Then, just as Noah and his family survived the Flood, these survivors will live on a cleansed earth.(Isaiah11:1-9 ; 65:17 ; Matthew24:36-39) In order to survive the end of the world, one must meet Jehovah's requirements, for the Bible says:"The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones thast will be left over in it."(Proverbs2:20-22 ; Psalm37:9-11,29)
Obviously it is not possible here to cover all the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses, but you are invited to obtain further information from Jehovah's Witnesses in your neighborhood.

Jesus will rule the earth (Revelation 5:10) during 1000 years after Armageddon and will restore the mankind as his father decided in Genesis , perfect humans with no sins living in the earth and descendents of Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:27) if that doesn´t happen then God is a liar, and he can´t lie (Titus 1:2) and Jesus can´t lie saying that the meek will inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5) are they lying?
