As their name shows, Jehovahs witnesses are witnesses for Jehovah.who is Jehovah? Jehovah is the name that AlmightyGod gives to himself in the pages of the bible .It is a personalname, not a title like God or Lord. in a general sense, throughout history anyone who witnesses to Gods glory could be called a witness of Jehovah.....Exodus3;13,15.....Isaiah 43;10so the bible,when listing a long line of faithful men of old starting with Abel,calls them ....so great a cloud of witnesses .....Hebrews 11;4 ..12;1 out standing individuals ,such as Noah, Abraham,Isaac, Jacob, Joseph,Moses,and David, are listed as Gods witnesses.......witnesses of Jehovah.Jesus christ is called the faithful and true witness...revelation 3;14 so that is what Jehovahs witnesses are ,they witness for Jehovahand make known the truth about Jehovah and his son Jesus christ But some people have called Jehovahs witnesses christian propagandists,a new christian cult, a christian sect influenced by Judaism,or fanatics who reject medical treatment,Actually, the witnesses are none of these things.why do some people think such things about them ?mostly because those people have been given wrong information.....................what ever the cost,Jehovahs witnesses adhere closely to the bible, they have not invented a new religion.they merely follow what is written in the Torah, the psalms and the Gospel. which is the foundation of true religion. what then do they believe,?they do not believe in the trinity, nor the immortal soul, they do believein the resurrection hope.they do not believe in hellfire,nor do they believe in fate,they do not believe in a clergy class,also they shun idolatry,they do not need idols.they are neutral in politics.they do their best to keep high moral standards in their teachings .we believe that very soon daniel 2;44 will be fullfilledwith the appoaching end of this world.we try to please God ,inline with the Torah,the psalms, and the Gospel.No individual is born a witness of Jehovah. Every single witness makes a personal decision.so the question is have you been mis informed?
