Answer 1

We believe the BIble.

We believe the Almighty God, the Creator is Jehovah.

We believe that Jesus is his firstborn Son - the Messiah and Christ who gave his life to redeem mankind from the sin and death that resulted from Adam and Eve's sin.

We believe that 144,000 individuals will rule with Christ in heaven over the Earth for the 1000 year reign following Armageddon.

We believe that all others who are deemed faithful will be able to live forever in a restored paradise on Earth according to God's original purpose for the Earth.

We believe that there will be a resurrection of the "righteous and the unrighteous" - the righteous given life on Earth, the unrighteous given the chance to accept the truth and also gain life.

We do not celebrate holidays that have pagan or nationalistic origins because we believe God does not approve of these (Christmas, Halloween, birthdays, etc, are all included).

We do not vote or otherwise give our allegiance to the political systems of this world as our dedication is to God's Kingdom, not any manmade government. But we do believe strongly in being good citizens, paying our taxes and obeying the laws of the land in which we live.

There is much more - but that's a start.

Answer 2

The Jehovahs Witnesses are a very worthwhile christian organisation that started off as a bible study group... If you want to know more about them try wikipedia or you can ask a witness to visit you in your home..

Im not really a christian however, during my research I found the JWs the most decent and the group most dedicated to finding the truth behind christianity where as most other christian sects are built firmly upon tradition and the polotics of the time.

But like all religions and faiths.. it is only ones best understanding of what truth may be

Answer 3

Salaam Alaykum,
They believe Jesus was a prophet and not god...they can be disfellowshiped or shut out of the group if they join the military.
Or do drugs, drink, have sex. Another weird spin on Christianity like Mormons that believe in a modern day 18th Century prophet named Joseph Smith. They don't recognize the cross on their churches or the bodies of their worshippers.
Jehovas don't believe in Mormons or Joseph Smith..but have break off theories that there is no heaven and hell that God will kill everyone in it not a Wittness and they will inherit the earth and it will be paradise on earth.
Wasalaam

Answer 5

This question comes up a lot. It would be much better indeed for you to go to watchtower.org and click on anything you want to know. It is very easy and it keeps you from getting lies.

There are no funny costumes, no craziness, just sincere people spiritually educating their families in the Bible. If you want the personal touch instead of a website, go to any local Kingdom Hall. You will not need anything but your Bible and a pen and paper. No collection plate is ever passed. After the meeting is over, ask any JW you see any questions you have. They will answer from your Bible.

Answer 6

As God’s human beings, we understand many stuff that shall we no longer in any different case have oftentimes happening. all of us understand the solutions to questions that worldly-clever adult adult males have grappled with for millenniums. case in point, all of us understand why suffering exists, why human beings die, and why people can't gain international peace and unity. we've additionally been blessed with a imaginative and prescient of what the destiny holds—the dominion of God, a paradise earth, and countless life in perfection. we've come to appreciate Jehovah, the outstanding One. we've found out approximately his beautiful character alongside with what we would desire to do to take exhilaration in his blessing. understanding the actuality facilitates us to correctly known what isn't actual. utilizing the actuality protects us from fruitless pastimes, facilitates us to get the ideal out of life, and grants us a stunning desire for the destiny. 7 Do you realize Bible actuality? if so, you have been richly blessed. while an author writes a e book, he or she often fashions it to allure to a particular group of human beings. some books are written for the fairly knowledgeable, others for infants, nonetheless others for those in rather professional fields. mutually as the Bible is actual accessible to all, that's meant to be understood and preferred via a particular group of human beings. Jehovah crafted it for the regular, the meek ones of the earth. Such human beings can draw close the sense of the Bible, in spite of their training, custom, station in life, or ethnic group. (a million Timothy 2:3, 4) on the different hand, an understand-how of Bible actuality is denied to those no longer rightly disposed, no be counted how clever or knowledgeable they'd be. The haughty, the proud, can't draw close the valuable truths of God’s word. (Matthew 13:11-15; Luke 10:21; Acts 13:40 8) basically God would desire to supply this way of e book. Jesus taught in residences and revisited residences the place there became into particular activity. (Luke 10:38-40 two; John 12:a million-3) He maintains to attain this till finally in the present day, no longer in guy or woman, yet representatively via his footstep followers: “Behold, I stand on the door, and knock: if any guy hear my voice, and open the door, i will are available to him, and could sup with him, and he with me.”—Rev. 3:20.

Answer 7

Their main beliefs are much like the christian beliefs. However, a very fundamental difference. They believe worship in a church is evil based on ancient pagan rituals. They also only read their own version of the bible (New world translation) and this version is either missing parts/changed parts/misinterpreted parts.
Also, some, but not all of course, but nevertheless many, Kingdom halls suck people in and are kind of brainwashed into the beliefs and you would be melted into their 'family' much like a cult (and made to feel very welcome) and not be allowed to question any of their beliefs, associate with others outside the witnesses (including non members, i.e your family), etc etc. I could go on.
These are not bad people, they do charity work just like other religions, and essentially they are following christianity, at least their version which they feel is right. Until hopefully one day, they realise they have been tricked and lied to and feel foolish for being so stupid. Once your in the club, it is difficult to get out, they won't let you leave easily.
Basically, just don't get involved.

Answer 8

The Jehovah I met not knocking on my door are very nice people. I am Jewish, and it's a tough religion, its nothing compared to Jehovah. They don't celebrate birthdays or Christmas. I don't celebrate Christmas either, but I still enjoy the holiday party at work, they don't even attend the party. Way too many rules.

Answer 9

I am a Christian and have few problems with similar religions.

My main problem with Jehovah's witnesses is their stance on blood transfusions.

They have interpreted a part of the bible where it says you can't eat blood. This relates to sacrifices, not blood transfusions because they wern't invented yet.

Now if they want to die because of their beliefs I tyhink they are stupid but it's their choice, but why do they let innocent children die?

Answer 10

They have their own translation of a bible - very different beliefs from Christians.
They believe in earning their Salvation through good works. Christians, as you probably know being a muslim, believe Salvation comes through believing in Christ as Saviour - God's grace rather than working for it.
I pray you will hear and know the truth.
