Everyone Should Know Jehovah's Witnesses and Their Beliefs
We may remember them as the people who often come to our homes in order to evangelize, but do we actually know what they believe? Below are facts about this group which branched off from orthodox Christianity in the late 1800's.
Jehovah's Witnesses started in 1870 when a man named Charles Taze Russell led Bible studies in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Jehovah's Witnesses movement came out of the Bible Student movement, also founded by Taze. When Taze began disputing some of the traditional views within Christianity, the Jehovah's Witnesses were born.
During his ministry, Russell quarreled with many tenets of mainstream Christianity, including immortality of the soul, hellfire, predestination, the fleshly return of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, and the burning up of the world.
In 1894, Rutherford became a member of the Bible Student movement. He was quickly promoted within the movement and became the Watch Tower Society president in 1917. As president, Rutherford changed the Watch Tower Society by making it more organized and aggressive in spreading its beliefs. He also introduced many new doctrines, including believing the world would end in 1925.
Jehovah's Witnesses focus on God the Father, so their name is taken from the Tetragrammaton, written as YHWH or JHVH and articulated either as Yahweh or Jehovah. The group was initially called the Watch Tower Society because founder Charles Taze Russell published Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence magazine.
Jehovah's Witnesses hold the controversial view of rejecting blood transfusions, even in life-or-death situations. Recently, Russia banned Jehovah's Witnesses and this issue was one of the reasons for their doing so.
Jehovah's Witness is a Christian religion that prefers to use their own translation of the Bible entitled The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. They distribute literature door-to-door and they do not celebrate birthdays or holidays. Jehovah Witnesses also refuse blood transfusions, and they will not serve in the military.
King of Pop Michael Jackson was reportedly raised a Jehovah's Witness.
Dwight D. Eisenhower was raised a Jehovah's Witness, but he left the religion as an adult.
Born: 10-14-1890
Birthplace: Texas, USA, Denison
