Slide 3. Jehovah’s Witnesses: Charles Taze Russell born to Presbyterian parents, joined a Congregational Church at the age of fifteen. troubled by doctrines such as predestination and eternal punishment. attended a Second Adventist Bible study 1869, Allegheny, Pennsylvania, began a Bible study determined that Christ's return would be an invisible or spiritual one. In 1884, Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society was organized as a corporation: "the dissemination of Bible truths in various languages by means of the publication of tracts, pamphlets, papers and other religious documents, and by the use of all other lawful means..."

Slide 4. After Russell Charles Taze Russell died in 1916, leaving Joseph Franklin Rutherford in charge "Jehovah's Witnesses" became the name in Authoritative Texts: The Bible (New World Translation) and the Scripture Studies. Size in 1997: 5.1 million across 232 countries.

Slide 5. Practices Practices Learn official doctrines, proselytize actively, participate in all congregational meetings, be baptized into the faith. The 5 meetings to attend each week: Public Talk on Sunday. Watchtower Study follows the public talk. Theocratic Ministry School evening weekday. Service Meeting after Theocratic Ministry School. Book Study sometime during the week. Don’t: salute a nation's flag, serve in the military, vote, receive a blood transfusion, or smoke

Slide 6. Beliefs Beliefs Protestant and Adventist, with the following differences: Name of God: Jehovah Trinity: No. Jesus is the first creation of God, fully human. Holy Spirit is a force. Man: Everyone is born with sin (except Jesus). soul is mortal. some will experience eternal life when they are resurrected, in the flesh and soul, simultaneously. Salvation: “Those losing faith in Jesus also lose everlasting life." Kingdom of God: Jesus became king in 1914, Satan and his angels kicked out of heaven to earth. Hence the wars, crime, etc. today. Jesus wil judge his people (some receiving everlasting life others non-existence), and Jehovah will rule again. Heaven: where Jesus Christ and other "True Christians" will rule over the paradise kingdom of The Great Crowd, those who have chosen God and will live forever. Hell: No. God is loving. Sinners will simply disappear. Holidays: Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate any holy days or even birthdays except one: the Memorial of Christ's Death during Passover.

Slide 7. Issues and Controversies Main issues which cause criticism include failed prophecies, blood transfusions, and nationalism. Failed Prophecies - admit erring in their calculations (1914, 1918, 1920, 1925, and 1941) for Armageddon.Failed Prophecies Blood - blood transfusions is "eating blood," forbidden in the bible. Nationalism - do not vote, sing the anthem, or participate in military duty.
