It is really interesting to make a thorough search in what way the religions of the world are different from the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses. Because then we can find out, that the Christian religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses are really different in a big way from the religions of the world. This alone would not be so very interesting. But the interesting point is, that the Christian religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses are different in a positive way. For example:
Every Jehovah’s Witness knows outstandingly what the Bible is telling all about. How’s that come to be? Before somebody can become a Witness of Almighty God Jehovah (Jehovah is the Name of God, according to the Bible), he or she must really study the Bible. To that point, that he or she knows and really understands the main Bible teachings. This is one big difference to most other religions. Jehovah’s Witnesses have really a good understanding of the teachings of the Bible. It is also amazing, that even the little ones among Jehovah’s Witnesses know the teachings of the Bible. But this is just one of the reasons, why Jehovah’s Witnesses are in a very positive way different from other religions.
We have many different experiences; from the slamming of doors on us; to those who respectfully listen and converse with us.
Quite often we find that we can really get people thinking about what they've been taught by their own religion. Some get upset that they've been paying into their religious system all their lives, and haven't really gotten their money's worth in the way of spiritual food. We're conducting well over 10 million free Bible studies in people's homes as we speak. They're telling us they're learning things they never knew before. Some of those will write a letter of resignation to their church; providing reasons why they're leaving and withholding further contributions. The clergy gets a little irate with us and gives a sermon about 'JWs are a cult - - avoid them!' Of course, now some more people get curious; and the cycle continues.
Eventually many people come to realize that even though they don't believe what we teach; yet we're the only ones visiting them at their homes with Bible open.
But there are many more variety of experiences.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses are native to the United States with roots dating back to the teachings of Charles Taze Russell, a minister in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the 1870s. The organization does not advertise in the media and strives to remain separate from most popular culture. Still, the members’ passionate proselytizing and a few controversial doctrines have put the group in the spotlight. As a result, the Witnesses have left an imprint in American culture.

Jahovah’s witness has experienced all types of discrimination. In some countries,like South Korea,a government has imprisoned witnesses for being conscientious objectors-snatching away their freedom of religious activity.
