story of the brothers, Cain and Abel. Essentially, timshel means “Thou mayest.” In the context of the tale, Jehovah tells Cain that he may conquer sin.

Active witnesses who refused to renounce their faith were sometimes sent to concentration camps. About 1,400 Jehovah 's Witnesses died at these camps. Missionary workers were often arrested, lost their jobs, or lost work benefits.

Islam is a religion that was founded in the year 620 AD in the city of Mecca, in Saudi Arabia, by a man named Muhammed. JW Christianity (the beliefs followed by Jehovah’s Witnesses) is a denomination of Christianity that people began studying in the 1870s in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
