Typically, a person begins his association with Jehovah's Witnesses by means of occasional chats with someone who is already a Jehovah's Witness. More than 6.5 million WItnesses preach publicly each month, and every one of them is qualified to help a sincere person learn bible truth.\n\nAt some point, that ongoing conversation may progress into a systematic study of the bible. Jehovah's Witnesses have several publications that are designed to help a student learn all basic bible teachings in as little as six months (although an exact time frame depends on the student and is irrelevant in any case). Some students prefer not to use any publication but the bible, and Jehovah's Witnesses are happy to assist such a student also. As long as a study is progressive, a Jehovah's Witness teacher will likely continue to work with the student. Every Jehovah's Witness is trained to conduct such a home bible study.\n\nWithin days, weeks, or months, the student is expected to begin himself to preach and teach to others INFORMALLY. He is encouraged to attend congregation meetings, read the bible on his own, do personal study, and make the lifestyle changes that are indicated by his increasing knowledge of God's Word.\n\nAs he becomes comfortable at the meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses, a student is encouraged to himself participate by commenting during audience-participation talks. At some point, the student will likely join the "Theocratic Ministry School" and himself or herself present brief bible-based talks of 4 or 5 minutes; larger congregations may have one, two, or three classrooms in addition to the main auditorium so that each student can have an assignment every few weeks and so that newer students can 'ease' into public speaking in a less intimidating environment. Students who share in presenting material from the platform must not be currently living a lifestyle that could bring reproach on the congregation.\n\nAt some point, the student will express a desire to share in the formal ministry of Jehovah's Witnesses. He must have brought his lifestyle into harmony with bible principles regarding morality, etc. A house-to-house "minister" (even a student) must now have a general grasp of most bible teachings and agree with the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses, since any answers he gives to a householder will be perceived as "the Jehovah's Witness teaching" on that matter. The teacher, who is merely one of 6.5 million adherents, will accompany his student on his interview with a congregation elder to determine whether all that is true in this student's case. The elder asks a brief series of questions (all of which the student will have reviewed ahead of time),  and the student is either encouraged to improve in some specific \narea or is approved for participation in the formal ministry of Jehovah's Witnesses.\n\nDuring the first month, the teacher will generally work with the student in the formal ministry, but really the student could accompany any experienced Witness. Within minutes, hours, days, or weeks, the student is expected to be able to himself initiate and continue a bible discussion with a householder (at least for a few moments).\n\nEach year, every congregation on earth enjoys three large assemblies (or conventions) of several hundred to several thousand Jehovah's Witnesses. Ideally, these large gatherings are spaced four months apart but that is not always possible. At each, a featured part of the schedule is a baptism talk and a baptism ceremony.\n\nA student will generally attend at least one such assembly or convention during his studies, and see for himself what happens regarding baptism. In addition, part of his progressive study includes learning about the importance of baptism. At some point, the student expresses a desire to become baptized; of course this outward symbol will always follow repentance, conversion, and dedi

The bible says in the book of Acts that you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you and you shall be witnesses...( Acts 1:8 kjv) So therefore it is definitely a force or power that can cause a person to overcome anything that he may in his life but the jehovah witness definitely have  a twisted view of doctrines. You need to study the scripture. The bible says to study to show thyself approved unto God...rightly dividing the word of truth(II Timothy 2:15 kjv) .\n\nJesus Christ was the father , son , and holy spirit. \n\nI and the Father are one ( John 10:30 kjv  )\n\n1 John 5:7 kjv\n7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.\nKJV- The Father and the Holy Ghost are one\n\nJohn 1:1\nIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.\nKJV\n\nJohn 1:14\n14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.\nKJV\n\nIn seeing this, the word was Jesus Christ in the flesh\n\nThe great commission states to go ye into all the world baptizing in the NAME of the father, the son , and Holy Spirit. Who is the name of the father JESUS, who is the name of the son JESUS, Who is the name of the Holy Spirit JESUS.\n\nActs 2:38 says that we must repent, be baptized  EVERYONE OF YOU in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins and ye shall receive the Holy Ghost because it is a promise!\n\nIn other words you can have it, because it is a promise to you.\n\nIt's a great priviledge to share this great news and I hope it has helped you. If you need anything contact me.

The beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses have their foundation on God's word the Bible.  The line of witnesses dates all the way back to Abel who is called the first witness according to Hebrews 11:4.\n\nThe Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses is not an order - it is a worldwide spiritual brotherhood of Christians with over 98,000 congregations.  The head of the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses is Jesus Christ.

Years back, my mother in law was having her morning devotion.  As she was praying, she prayed that the Lord would send her someone to witness to.  She no more than got up off her knees, and there was a knock on the door.\n\nGuess who???\n\nShe squealed with glee, grabbed their arms, and told them that she had just prayed that the Lord would someone she could witness to.  She pulled them in the house and started sharing.\n\nThereafter, except for training purposes, no Jehovah Witnesses ever came.\n\nLawrence\nhttp://www.truebiblesermons.com\n\nps.  When I said "for training purposes," that was correct.  They would bring new members to her house to learn how to deal with the "hard-core" unchangable person. :)

All of the previous answers are incorrect, and are obviously not answered by Masons.  Let me give you the real answer:\n\nTo become a Mason you must:\nBe a man over 18 years old (21 in some places).\nBelieve in a higher power (whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc.)\nYou must ask to join.  We do not ask people to join.  You must ask us.\n\nSo if you are interested in becoming a Mason, just contact the Masonic lodge in your area and tell them you want to know more about them.  They will be happy to talk to you.  \n\nIf you have any other questions, please learn from real Freemasons such as myself.  Feel free to contact me.

What does her being a Jehovah's Witness have to do with anything?

This is the area where Jehovah told his people, "Jehovah's Witnesses," that he has chosen them to be his people.\nThe word of God from his own mouth!\n\nNo one else can rightly carry his name.\n\n(A loyal witness)

As one of Jehovah's witnesses, I can honestly tell you that yes going door to door is part of being a JW and that every one of us does it. The reason we go from door to door is a biblica command. Since you dont want quotes i won't put it here but there is a biblical reason for everything we practice including going from door to door. If you ask any Jehovah's Witness they can show you from your own bible. If you don't want Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on your door just tell them. We respect the wishes of others and if you ask us not to come back then we wont. I hope that answers your question.

It is true that Jehovah's Witnesses are not loved by everyone.\nhttp://jw-media.org/newsroom/human_rights.htm\nSome people hate Jehovah's Witnesses out of ignorance, or over some misunderstanding. A few may have had a bad personal experience with an individual who claimed to be a Jehovah's Witness, and prejudicially extended their animus to this entire Christian religion.\n\nHowever, it seems that the majority of anti-Witness hatred is motivated by religious intolerance and bigotry. A few may even be motivated against their Christian worship by the unseen 'god of this system of things', Satan the Devil.\n\n(2 Corinthians 4:4) the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers\n\nInterestingly, 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\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.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/jt/\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20030301/article_01.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20020401/article_01.htm

My beliefs as a Christian Witness of Jehovah have helped me.\n\nI used to smoke, but when I learned God's view of this, I quit. That has helped spiritually, financially, and physically.\n\nI feel much better about myself, and am not as shy as I was before becoming one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I used to be so shy I would hardly speak to anyone.\n\nI also have gained a great deal of comfort from knowing what the Bible teaches, as well as having drawn close to God and his Son.\n\nThis is in addition to knowing what the future holds for me and my loved ones, and the earth and its inhabitants will finally be brought into the condition Jehovah originally purposed.

TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN\n\nIt's a process over time, it's not going to happen overnight. But there are steps to take. First pray and ask the Father into your heart (mind) and life. Ask for change of you. Ask for guidance and direction. Ask for forgiveness of your sins. Do all this in Jesus name (authority).\n\nCome to the reality that as long as you dwell in the flesh body you are going to fall short. All are sinners. Repentance is a change of mind not a license to sin. Perfection is maturity or full age in His Word. We are to produce fruit and glorify Christ.\n\nHis Word is an life learning process. Trust this man or no man unless you check it out in His Word. I've been at it earnestly for 16 years. I'm producing fruit but feel I'm still in the process. Don’t clean house (clean up your act) without filling that void with the Word of God.\n\nLuke 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. \nLuke 11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. \nLuke 11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. \n\nBy the way, born again means born from above, check it out.

The "boyfriend" does not seem to be an actual Jehovah's Witness, but perhaps a person whose family are Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses do not tolerate extramarital sex, fraud, or abandoning pregnant common-law wives.\n\nThe questioner may benefit herself by learning about the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses. While the benefits are eternal, there are important benefits even now to obeying godly standards in all things.\n\nhttp://watchtower.org

I'm a Jehovah's Witness and I get the Mormons every year. They're very friendly and we always have a nice conversation. They tell me a little about their beliefs and I tell them a little about mine. Once in awhile they come at a bad time and that's okay. I just tell them love to chat but...

Jehovah's Witnesses 'try to get others to join' because they are commanded to do so by Jesus himself. Any personal eventuality or preference is far less important than that command.\n\n(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you

The 700 Club says:\n    * Surrender. \n    * Acceptance.\n    * Confession. \n    * Responsibility.\n    * Forgiveness.\n    * Transformation.\n    * Preservation.\n\nJehovah's Witnesses teach these six:\n(1) Stay spiritually healthy, cultivating wisdom, understanding and self-control.\n(2) Avoid dangerous spiritual terrain, such as the subtle trap of materialism.\n(3) Know and work on your own weak or unbalanced areas.\n(4) Do not slack off in the field ministry, but keep up your forward momentum in Jehovah’s service.\n(5) Humbly accept counsel from God’s organization and those whom it is using.\n(6) Do not isolate yourself from the Christian congregation.
