Many children attending school, specifically high school, are considered to be “troubled” or “disrespectful”. This may be due to a lack of parental guidance or to disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Attention Deficit Disorder is defined as “a condition in which someone (such as a child) has problems with learning and behavior because of being unable to think about or pay attention to things for very long” (Merriam-Webster. Merriam-Webster. Web. 8 Oct. 2015). Children diagnosed…

simplest form, Jehovah’s Witnesses “strive to adhere to the form of Christianity that Jesus taught and that his apostles practiced” (“Jehovah’s Witnesses…”). Everyone knows of Jehovah’s Witnesses, for they are one of your friends or they have stopped by your door, but how many people know their true beliefs? Part of understanding their stray from Christianity, as well as their global influence, it is essential to learn about the history of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Jehovah’s Witnesses account for…

The "Bible Students" formed into smaller groups, and still exist in North America, South America, Europe and some African nations. In 1931, “Jehovah’s Witnesses” became the official name given by Rutherford, distinguishing them from the "Bible Students" Russell started. Jehovah's Witnesses still credit Pastor Russell as their founder, but Rutherford was truly their founder. Between 1918 and 1929, independent fellowships formed, including the Dawn Bible Students Association…

If it wasn't for Cloey, I still would have been that shy little girl I was. She has helped me to reach out and talk more. I never liked to talk at school or anywhere for that fact. Cloey was the one that came up to me to talk for the first time. That resulted in this life-long friendship. Cloey is a slim, short girl, around five feet tall. As seen by most people, her hair, usually braided, is blond with light brown highlights. By the way her lively blue eyes look, you can see her emotion. Near…

When thinking about the event that shaped me the most, I would actually say that it is more like many events that shape me as a whole. Those events are that of my regularly going to the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. At the meetings, anyone can comment on things that they like about what we are studying, so it is good to have read and know the material being covered. Due to that, I have learned how to read much better than I believe I would have…

Many people do not realize the vast difference of opinions amongst many religious beliefs and teaching. Today I am going to give comparisons on two types of religious beliefs and teachings in reference to holidays Christians versus the Jehovah Witnesses. As a little girl raised as a Christian, in grade school it was hard for me to…

They begged me to stay, asked me what it was that I needed to feel like I was a part of the congregation, and told me that I wouldn’t be disfellowshipped if I would work with them. I remember sitting in that small, dark, windowless room in the Kingdom Hall that had a hint of musk lingering in the air from someone 's after shave that they had applied a little too heavy. Looking at these three Elders (these three Men), feeling no guilt, I told them, “there’s nothing you can do, I want to be…

I was exposed to religion ever since I was born. I was raised in Lima, Peru, which is a very religious country, even though some of its traditions may not be very familiar to everyone. If you were to compare it to something, you could say that the type of traditions I was exposed to were like the traditions Americans had in the 1900's. I remember having to dedicate entire days to God, sometimes even longer periods, without any distractions. Religion was an extremely important aspect of life in…

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. It was founded by a man named Charles Taze Russell. While they may seem very different, they are actually similar in specific ways. The holy book of Islam is called the Qur’an. In the Qur’an, it is said that all of…

John 10:10; 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it abundantly. Even the devil can disguise himself when approaching the children of God. Our defense is God, love and humility. Let us embrace the good news that no evil scheme can ruin us if we abide in the light of the glorious Gospel of true freedom, which is in Jesus Christ and Him alone. 2 Corinthians 4:6-12; 6 For God, who commanded the light…
