Jehovah's Witnesses believe and teach that they are the only true followers of Jehovah God and Jesus Christ and all other religions are under the control of Satan the Devil.
Jehovah's Witnesses are made up of a two class system: "The Anointed" and "The Great Crowd of Other Sheep", the anointed are made up of 144,000 that will rule with Christ, and the Great Crowd of Other Sheep are everyone else that Jehovah and Jesus deem worthy at the time of Judgement (i.e. those who have associated themselves with God's Organisation, his sole channel of communication; the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.). This Great Crowd of Other Sheep with have an earthly hope, being recreated on Earth after this wicked system of things has been destroyed with fire; as in the days of Noah.

Can a non Jehovah's Witness female be a bridesmaid in a Jehovah's Witness wedding?
I have seen it occur on one occasion, and cannot find anything in Watchtower literature to say no. Answer 2: All of Jehovah's Witness aim to not offend others and show love of neighbor. However, our first priority is to honor Almighty God Jehovah. It is a personal decision to make but in order for a wedding to take place at a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, the Elder body would have to give approval. See Jehovah's Witnesses official website for the 11/15/07 Watchtower "Questions from Readers."

Which group does not allow blood transfusions because they believe that taking blood into the body is morally wrong?
The group is know as "Jehovah's Witnesses". They believe that receiving blood transfusions are the same as drinking blood, which is stickily forbidden in the old testament law and repeated in the new testament book of Acts where Gentile believers were to "they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication." The problem comes down to whither or not transfusions are drinking blood or not.
What do Jehovah's Witnesses believe about the use of diabetic finger sticks?
My father has type 1 diabetes, and he is a Jehovah's Witness. The prohibition on blood for JW's stems from the Bible's command at Acts 15:28,29 and other passages in the Bible. Our understanding of the scriptures is that we must avoid taking blood into the body. Since the samples of blood that are taken are not re-injected into the body, and are actually disposed of after the test procedure, there is no problem with the use of these types of testing divices for JW's.
