Jehovah’s Witness are members of a Christian religion who believes that God name is Jehovah and his Son name is Jesus Christ. They base their beliefs on what is found in the Holy Bible. According to () “Jehovah’s Witnesses are not allowed to celebrate Christmas, birthdays, Easter, Thanksgiving, or any other holidays, claiming they all have pagan roots.” To a Jehovah’s Witness a Bible is more reliable, Christ died on a stake, and prayers are to be directed only to Jehovah though Christ. Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t believe in sex before marriage and believes to be a serious sin before God. They meet three times a week, one of those three times is held on a Sunday. On that Sunday Jehovah’s Witnesses meet in a Kingdom Hall, a rented building, where there is no crosses displayed outside or inside. During the time they are there the meeting is intense and holds about 200 people. Jehovah’s Witnesses also practice door-to-door to spread the word to others.

In 2005, thousands of Jehovah’s Witnesses helped restored damaged homes in New Orleans due to the Hurricane Katrina. They also helped people who suffer the effects of war and other natural disasters. According to "Jehovah's Witnesses Official Media Web Site: Contributions to the Community" (2009), “In June 2011, Tropical Strom Allison dropped nearly three feet of water on the city of Houston, Texas in a single 24-hour period. Jehovah’s Witnesses quickly organized relief efforts that included developing a database to track the work, locating warehouse and administrative facilities, purchasing materials and organizing thousands of volunteers from all over the country.” Jehovah’s Witnesses also helped individuals with their personal bad habits such as drinking, smoking, and gambling. When it comes to Jehovah’s Witnesses they have a good heart and are willing to help other that are around them, rather they are Witnesses or not.

Jehovah’s Witnesses has experienced many different incidents of prejudice and discrimination in the past and currently in the world today. According to "Jehovah's Witness and Religious Persecution" (2006), “Nearly 1,000 Jehovah’s Witness men are currently imprisoned for their conscientious objection to war. In 2005, Sung-hyun, 21 served a 10-month sentence for refusing the draft.” He was released then got sentenced two years for refusing the draft again. In another incident, individuals of the Nazis broke up Bible study meeting and assaulted the Jehovah’s Witness. Also according to "Jehovah's Witness and Religious Persecution" (2006), “In Turkmenistan police and national security officials frequently break up Jehovah's Witness worship services, impose heavy fines, and resort to verbal and physical abuse. The 6th Dept. of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which ostensibly fights organized crime and terrorism, has monitored and harassed Jehovah's Witnesses, pressured their employers to fire them, and confiscated passports. The government refuses to register the religion. “
After researching information about Jehovah’s Witnesses, I understand their much better. I found it very interesting to learn about a different religion other than my own. I have learned their beliefs, values, and worship practices while doing this assignment. I also learned that Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t celebrate holidays because they believe that holidays are either false religious, political, or they honor anything other than God. Jehovah’s Witnesses are kind hearted people that are willing to help individuals and communities when it is needed. As I was reading about the incidents that occurred to Witnesses in the past was shocking because everything was cause by what they believed in. It helps me understand that just because someone believe in something different then I do doesn’t mean that they’re any different than I am. I know many Jehovah’s Witnesses but never really sat down and talk to them about their religion and views on how they feel on other religions.
