Jehovah's Witness Beliefs

Decent Essays
The freedom of belief and religion for Jehovah’s Witnesses is not being enforced in certain countries. Many Witnesses are thrown in jail, killed, and persecuted for their religious beliefs in different countries. The right to freedom of belief and religion applies to everyone from every religion so it is not fair to deprive Witnesses from that right. There is still a chance to save many innocent Witnesses lives and stop them from being killed. It is a violation of the human rights to put someone to death without a fair trial by jury. Jehovah’s Witnesses are kind, generous, loving, and friendly people who can help you with your problems. You can have a Bible study with a Jehovah’s Witness and talk to them about what you are having problems

    Relations of the Afterlife To start off, it is important to inform that an afterlife is exactly what it states to be: a life after, or a life after the known life, so to speak. Many people and early writers believed in an afterlife, all of which had their own perceptions. For instance, the Christians point of view on an afterlife would be heaven or hell, while someone with a different point of view would see an afterlife as somewhere they reunite with their loved ones. There are many different perceptions of an afterlife, but all find to have a purpose and an importance, especially to Jonathan Edwards and Edward Taylor. Jonathan Edwards was quite the spook, well messenger... perhaps he was the warning sign!…

    As I experienced one of the most diverse and culturally different religion outside my own from being a Christian, I come to realize that I’ve have learned more about Jehovah’s Witnesses than what I believed. As I see them as people speaking about their religion and going door to door to preach their word, I’ve learned that their religion related to Christianity is separate and have their own views about life and after life. Jehovah’s Witnesses also deal with issues viewed on a wise basis. Having friends with many religion backgrounds and having a few friends that have become my informants while participation in Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall, Word Studies, and Conventions; has enticed me to dig deeper into their religion as Jehovah Witnesses.…

By identifying the reason, the why Jehovah Witness patients refuses blood products is the first step in solving the problem.
