To answer your question.I cannot be as brief as you probably are wanting.But if you are sincerly asking I will tell you what sets Jehovah's Witnesses apart as different from other religions-\n1.Jehovahs' Witnesses believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God.They hold to the Bible as thr standard for all their beliefs.\n2.They worship Jehovah as the only true God and freely speak to others about him and his loving purposes toward mankind.\n3.They believe,not that Jesus Christ is part of a Trinity, but that, as the Bible says, he is the Son of God,the first of God's creations;that his life was transferred from heaven to the womb of a virgin,Mary;that his perfect human\nlife laid down in sacrifice makes possible salvation to eternal life for those who exercise faith;that Christ is actively ruling as King,with God given authority over all the earth since 1914.\n4. They believe that God's Kingdom is the only hope for mankind;that it is a real government;that it will soon destroy the present wicked system of things,including all human governments, and that it will produce a new system in which righteousness will prevail.\n5.They believe that 144,000 spirit anointed Christians will share with Christ in his heavenly Kingdom,ruling as kings with him.They do not believe that heaven is the reward for everyone who is "good".\n6.They believe that God's original purpose for the earth will be fulfilled;that the earth will be completely populated by worshipers of Jehovah and these will be able to enjoy eternal life in human perfection;that even the dead will be raised to an opportunity to share in these blessings.\n7.They believe that the dead are conscious of absolutely nothing;that they are experienceing neither pain nor pleasure in some spirit realm;that they do not exist except in God's memory,so hope for their future life lies in a resurrection from the dead.\n8.They believe that we are living now,since 1914,in the last days of this wicked system of things.\n9.They earnestly endeavor to be no part of the world,as Jesus said would be true of his followers.They show genuine Christian love for their neighbors, but they do not share in the politics or the wars of any nation.They provide for the material needs of their families but shun the world's avid pursuit of material things and personal fame and its excessive indulgence in pleasure.\n10.They believe that it is important to apply the counsel of God's Word in everday life.Regardless of a person's past way of life,he may become one of Jehovah's Witnesses if he abandons practices condemned by God's Word and applies its godly counsel.But if anyone therafter makes a practice of adultery,fornication,homosexuality,drug abuse,drunkenness, lying or stealing, he will be disfellowshipped from the organization.\nI have listed some of the outstanding beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses.I however could not be thorough if I were any briefer.\nIf you seek further information,why don't you pop into your local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.They would be only too happy to answer any questions.They would even conduct a free home bible study with you,if you so desired.\n\nby the way fbgav is WAY OFF

I'm pretty sure you can't be a witness for your own deed... sort of defeats the purpose of having a witness!

Jehova's are misled individuals.  What usually Happens is that they suffer  a trauma and jehova's step in and help and get them to go to their church.

The term 'disassociate' has a particular meaning for Jehovah's Witnesses. It designates a baptized Witness who has communicated his resignation from the Witness faith, either by explicit words or by joining an organization at cross-purposes with Jehovah's (such another religion or the military).\n\nA Witness who dates a non-Witness is not disfellowshipped or disassociated, although this dating too frequently leads to immorality which is disciplined by the congregation. However, a Witness who dates a non-Witness is no longer considered "exemplary" and thus cannot have certain 'privileges' in the congregation. That means that he cannot serve as a ministerial servant (deacon), as a pioneer (full time evangelizer), or for most visible congregation assignments. Many in the congregation will choose to limit their association with a Witness who dates a non-Witness, but that is their personal decision and is not a form of congregation discipline.\n\nIf the dating Witness is a young person still living at home, her parents' seeming endorsement of a relationship with a non-Witness will likely cause them to lose major privileges, such as serving as a congregation elder, ministerial servant, or pioneer.\n\nThe way around it is to get baptized as a Jehovah's Witness before dating a Witness.

Probably Jehovah's Witnesses.  If it was _The Watchtower_ that they gave you, that's who it was.\n\nI have no idea what would have happened had you answered the door naked.

I try not to think and according to wikipedia its authenticity is questioned, but you got me to learn something new, thankyou. :)\n\nThe fact that the Zohar was found by one lone individual, Moses de Leon, and that it refers to historical events of the post-Talmudical period, caused the authenticity of the work to be questioned from the outset.

Jehovah's Witnesses are an exemplary group of Christians who are working hard to follow the example and commands of their Head Jesus Christ and the Almighty Jehovah God.\n\nA respectful nickname for an adherent of the religion is "a Witness". Referring to a Jehovah's Witness as "a Jehovah" is both ignorant and disrespectful. It ignores the fact that "Jehovah" is the divine name of the Almighty.\n\nJehovah's Witnesses are unsurprised by bigotry and hatred from this world. Interestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:\n\n(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.\n\n(Luke 6:22) “Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.\n\n(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.\n\n(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.\n\n\nIt seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:\n\n(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”

It would be considered as cult since it teachings do not line up with the teachings of Christ.  It embraces many old testmament practices, which is fine, but it denies the identity of Jesus as the Son of God who died for our sins...it looks like a jewish version of jahovah's witnesses.

Jehovah's Witnesses are members of an international religious organization who believe themselves to be the restoration of first-century Christianity. Founded in the 1870s by Charles Taze Russell under the name Bible Students, they underwent numerous schisms and later adopted the name Jehovah's Witnesses in 1931 under Joseph Franklin Rutherford. Official membership now stands at over 6 million. They are known for their extensive preaching, evangelistic, and publishing activities, with The Watchtower and Awake! religious magazines being their most widely known publications. Headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, they are directed by a Governing Body.\n\nJehovah's Witnesses are generally socially conservative. Being politically neutral, they have been persecuted by various governments, notably by the Nazi government, with many sent to concentration camps. They have been instrumental in establishing religious freedoms in various countries. Their unique stand on refusing blood transfusions has also garnered publicity and controversy.\n\nSince their foundation, they have been concerned with the second advent of Jesus. Initially holding many similar views of other 19th century Advent groups, such as the Millerites, they have since developed their own unique eschatology.
