Who are Jehovah's Witnesses? ..................

Jehovah's Witnesses define themselves as a religious group of Christianity, proud of Christ, and try to conform to Him, but according to their own way. They are people of different races, united by their common goals, foremost of which is honoring the "Jehovah" or the God of the Bible, according to the site of the official community. The number of their followers exceeded 8 million in 240 countries around the world, according to the same site.
They reside each year in commemoration of the death of Christ, the so-called "Lord's Supper", on April 14, the date that marks the Jewish Passover. In which 144,000 people eat bread and wine, are those who consider themselves to be in the spirit of Christ.
The group was founded by Charles Taz Russell, an Irishman born in 1852, in Pennsylvania. He studied Christian, Jewish and Islamic religions, but he rejected them all. The idea of ​​the eternal torment of the sinners burned him.
Influenced by the ideas of the Adventist or the Seventh-Day Adventists and its president, Jonas Wendell. Her faith is based on faith in the soul and soul after death, denial of the existence of hell, and belief in judgment. The followers of this doctrine said that Christ would come to earth in 1874, that resurrection would happen unseen and would end in 1878, and in 1914 the end of time would be for all nations.
In 1900, Russell began opening branches of the Society in London, Germany and Australia. One of his works, "Dawn of the Millennium", was the first magazine issued in 1879, under the name "Tower of Zion and the presence of Jesus Christ." In 1909, the word Zion was deleted. In 1939, it was renamed the Watchtower and the Kingdom of Christ. "The watchtower proclaims the kingdom of Jehovah," according to Jehovah's Witnesses.
This group was called by several names. Initially, its founder, Russell, called it in 1881 as the "Zion Watchtower Tower" and then became the "Bible Watchtower and the Society of the Cryars, Pennsylvania." It was officially licensed in 1984 as "Bible students" and considered this date the official beginning of the movement, which was later known as Jehovah's Witnesses.
The Jehovah's Witnesses organize themselves into groups, where members address each other as brothers and sisters. It receives guidance and guidance from the Brooklyn headquarters, called the Watchtower, called the Core Groups, led by the so-called Sheik, and appointed by the central ring (ie in Brooklyn), at the recommendation of the local ring (Jehovah's Witnesses in each Area), and follows the "elders" to "observer head", which corresponds to the bishop. The core groups and the central ring in Brooklyn combine so-called "middle circles" or a link, and then at each of these groups, statistics are organized to headquarters in New York.
The Jehovah's Witnesses usually meet in a place called the "Royal Hall", a simple building whose nature varies according to the climate and the physical condition of witnesses in the region. There are halls built of wood, brick and stone, others with bamboo walls and a straw roof.
This hall is named after this name because its meetings focus on the teachings of the Bible and its main message of the "Kingdom of God" and a center of "preaching," preaching Christian teachings and preaching the "gospel of the kingdom." These halls often accommodate 300 people. They have a platform, a room and a small library, but do not contain what we usually see in Christian churches such as crosses and massacres. Jehovah's Witnesses consider it to be contrary to the Bible's commandment, "Run away from idolatry" (John 24.4). It also welcomes all those who wish to enter it, even if they are not witnesses.
The Community's funding depends on donations by members through boxes placed in all the halls of the kingdom and later used to build new halls in developing countries and to print and ship sacred books. The fact that voluntary funding is a sufficient source of all expenditures is that the Organization does not pay witnesses, and all the work they do is unpaid.
The followers are obliged to abide by God's advice to refrain from lying, theft, sugar and adultery. Any person in the group, regardless of his or her history, accepts a commitment to three steps: knowledge of the Bible, the application of the teachings, baptism and in which the member forgets the course of his previous life New.
The faith is based on fundamental things: faith in the existence of God, the Creator of all things, faith in Christ and non-recognition of God, and the belief that the "kingdom of God" is a government in heaven, not an emotional state in the hearts of Christians. The followers of this doctrine also deny the resurrection of Christ and the immortality of the wicked in torment.
They refrain from certain things, such as transporting blood for a serious health reason, as well as abstaining from celebrating birthdays, performing compulsory service, and recognizing any of the governments and presidents.
The Jehovah's Witnesses, like all other women, are not concerned with virginity or purity. They deny the immortality of the soul and do not believe in the resurrection after death. They speak of a resurrection in which all human beings are born as new creatures that are completely different from what they were in their previous lives.
They also believe that only 144,000 Christians who call themselves "exalted by the Holy Spirit" or in the spirit of Christ will judge with Christ in heaven. As for those who will remain on the earth from the righteous, they will live in Paradise and will inherit their bliss for ever under the supervision of a heavenly government.
This will come after the Battle of Armageddon, which will take place between the people of Christ and the spiritual forces of evil in the Megiddo plateau in Palestine, wherein they say that the devil and his followers will be arrested for a thousand years and then will be thrown away for a short time and thrown into the abyss. She was executed in the Garden of Eden in 4024 BC. Satan and his followers return to nothingness forever.
