Jehovah's Witnesses...Who
are they?
Almost everyone knows of their aggressive
door-to-door proselytizing. The organization they represent, known as the
Watchtower Bible & Tract Society (WTB&TS), emphasizes end time prophecy and has
predicted the end of the world many times. The WTB&TS exercises rigid control
over Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) and prohibits their participation in such common
activities as taking blood transfusions, celebrating birthdays or holidays
(including Christmas, Easter, and Mother's Day), voting, flag saluting, and
military service. Through these restrictions, the WTB&TS builds a wall of
isolation between Jehovah's Witnesses and the rest of society. They also prevent
members from questioning the authority and doctrines of the WTB&TS. For any one
who questions and doubts the teachings of the WTB&TS, it would result in a
disfellowshipping (shunning).
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society
boldly claims to be the only organization God is using today to teach His truth
and speak for Him. ' According to the WTB&TS, all non-JWs will be destroyed
at Armageddon, an event of divine judgment it threatens is just around the
corner. The WT Society prints over 14 million copies of its magazines every
week, and has over 4 million Jehovah's Witnesses spreading its doctrines in 200
countries.
