No they don't. Jehovah's Witnesses are not surprised by persecution, since The Bible indicates that Christians would be persecuted, but they do not delight in persecution nor believe that it brings any merit.
Most Jehovah's Witnesses today have the hope of living forever on a paradise earth. Only a small number of them living today have received the call to heavenly life. Even this group does not believe that persecution will give them more in heaven.

Why does jehovas don't take blood transfusion?
"Jehovah's Witnesses" is what we are called. And we believe blood is sacred and should not be given away. However, some Jehovah's Witnesses do give and receive blood. It is a moral problem.
Do Jehovah witness feel Gods annointing?
Not all of Jehovah's Witnesses experience God's "anointing". This is because Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only those who are going to heaven will receive this "anointing". Those who are not going to heaven will have an opportunity to live forever in a paradise on earth, as Jesus promised. You can learn more by going to their official website.
Why do Jehovah's witnessses believe in a suprim god?
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jehovah is the Most High. This believe is according to God's Word, the Bible. Psalm 83:18 states: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." Revelation 4:11: "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." The verse in Revelation refers to Jehovah. This is the reason Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jehovah God is the Almighty God, the Supreme, the Sovereign Lord of the Universe.
Please help me find Free download of Jehovah's witnesses watchtower library 2008?
You can receive the Watchtower Library 2008 cd-rom from your local Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses but you must be a baptized witness of Jehovah to actually receive one from the congregation. Also, I would'nt advice a download because that would be copyright infringement.
Do Jehovah's Witnesses have a present day?
Jehovah's Witnesses give or receive absolutely any type of present imaginable, as long as it does not in any way offend Jehovah God according to the standards set forth in the Bible. If you are referring to birthdays as "present day", than the answer would be that it is not scriptural, according to what the Jehovah's Witnesses believe to celebrate birthdays. And as a note we feel that we don't have to wait for any specific day to give or receive a present, any day is fine. We feel that this reflects the true spirit of giving. And as far as Christmas is viewed, in terms of presents, pretty much the same action may be applied (keeping in mind, of course, that according to Jehovah's Witnesses Christmas is not biblical).
Are jehovah s witnesses a form of christianity?
Absolutely. Jehovah's Witnesses believe in Jesus Christ, the son of Almighty God. They accept Jesus as their savior and the only means to receive salvation from God. They accept and are guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ. Many people get confused about Jehovah's Witnesses because they focus their worship on his Father, Jehovah God. (John 3:16) "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
Why do Jehovah's Witnesses expect others to examine their religion when JW's are not allowed to independently research themselves?
Actually Jehovah's Witnesses are able to independently research their faith. They encourage their followers to study the bible and their faith as much as they can. Although I am not a Jehovah's witness I was raised in the faith. Jehovah's witnesses receive bible study, they go to 2 meetings a week in the kingdomhall and attend book study. They have a more rigorous study of the bible.
When Christ return will he rule on Earth with Jehovah's witnesses?
First of all, Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that Jesus will rule ON EARTH. Jesus will rule OVER the earth, from the invisible heavenly realm.Secondly, since Jesus is also a Witness of Jehovah God; he certainly wouldn't rule with a non-Witness of Jehovah God. People or angels, are either 'Witnesses of Jehovah', or they are 'Witnesses of Jehovah's adversary, Satan'. Christ would never use a non-Witness to rule with him. Jehovah has chosen 144,000 from among mankind to rule with him. They will rule from Heaven. They will serve as 1) Kings, 2) Priests, and 3) Judges towards 'the meek' who will 'inherit the earth'. It will be a 'great crowd' that will receive this wonderful earthly inheritance.Only Jehovah's Witnesses are interested in this inheritance. Everyone else in mainstream religions have rejected this inheritance; and opted to inherit the heavens.Non-Witness counter:However, this is not what is taught in scripture. When Jesus returns there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth; the two will become one (Revelation 21:1-2).
What is the name of the current president of Jehovah witnesses?
The legal corporation Jehovah's Witnesses use to, amongst many things, publish their literature is called Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.According to the August, 1 2012 issue of The Watchtower(the main periodical published by Witnesses), L. Weaver, Jr. is the current President of that corporation.However, the worldwide spiritual instruction that Jehovah's Witnesses receive is not directed by an organization with a President but rather a Governing Body.
What is the difference between Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter Day Saints?
Although both groups are considered by most to be "Christian" faiths and are identified to a greater or lesser degree with a public preaching work, there are many notable doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). Jehovah's Witnesses believe only the Bible to be God's inspired word (1 Tim 3: 16). The Mormons use the Bible and "The Book of Mormon" which they also view as God's inspired Word. Mormons believe that God still calls prophets and apostles to guide his people. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was the last prophet. Mormons believe that Jesus is Jehovah in the Old Testament. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jehovah is the name of Almighty God, the father of Jesus Christ. Mormons often refer to God (the Father of Jesus) as Heavenly Father, and believe his name is Elohim. Jehovah's Witnesses call him by his personal name, Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) . Mormons believe "that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent." Jehovah's Witnesses believe that New Jerusalem is a heavenly Kingdom (government) established, not in America, but in the heavens. Mormon missionaries (mostly young men and women, some retired couples) preach for a set period of time, usually 2 years. All of Jehovah's Witnesses (male & female, young & old) preach the gospel for the rest of their lives, as did the apostles & Christians in the first century. Mormons believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that because of their rejection of Christ, the nation of Israel permanently lost its privileged position as God's special people. Thus the nation of natural Jews no longer figure as a people in Bible prophecy, but God's anointed ones (from all nations) are designated as "spiritual" Israelites. Mormons believe "that Christ will reign personally upon the earth." Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Christ will rule from heaven as a spirit king. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that death is the result of Adamic (from Adam) sin. Genesis 2:15-17; Romans 5:12 Mormons do not believe that Adam & Eve sinned, and that "men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression". Mormons believe that after resurrection, we will be assigned to one of three 'levels' of heaven. Jehovah's Witnesses believe in the resurrection of the dead (John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15), the majority living on the earth forever, but a select few (144,000) ruling in heaven with Christ. (Psalm 37:9-11, 29; Matthew 5:5, Revelation 5:10; 20:4) Mormons believe that our "spirits" were created long before our bodies, and that our spirits existed in heaven with God in a "pre-mortal" life. Jehovah's Witnesses believe one's existence begins at conception. Mormons believe that all Christians receive the gifts of the holy spirit through "the laying on of hands" (gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues). Jehovah's Witnesses believe this was a first century arrangement limited to the period of the apostles and as such, these miraculous gifts have ceased. (1 Corinthians 13: 8, 9.) Mormons use the King James Version Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine & Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price as scripture. Jehovah's Witnesses use many different Bible translations but mainly bring the New World Translation to their worship services. Mormons believe that Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus died on an upright stake. Mormons do not have any restrictions or teachings regarding common medical practice. Jehovah's Witnesses abstain from blood & do not accept blood transfusions. Acts 15:28,29 Mormons are encouraged to be active in politics, the military, & government to support and defend liberty & democracy of their own countries. Jehovah's Witnesses follow Jesus' example and do not participate in the military or political affairs of any country. Mormons celebrate most "Christian" and national holidays as well as birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate birthdays or any holidays associated with pagan origins, spiritism, or nationalism. Mormons believe in performing ordinances (baptism, etc) in behalf of those who have died. These ordinances are performed by proxy in Temples. They believe this provides the deceased with the opportunity to accept Christ and be saved. Jehovah's Witnesses have no such practice. Mormons count their total membership number as anyone who has been baptized into the faith and has not requested their name to be taken off the records, even if those baptized are not 'active' or practicing in the faith. They do not report the numbers of those whom have been baptized posthumously. Jehovah's Witnesses count their total membership number only from those who are regular and active in the public preaching & teaching work. Mormons hold Sunday worship services in meeting houses, while additional (optional) worship services are held throughout the week in temples. Jehovah's Witnesses hold public worship services in Kingdom Halls at least twice a week. Mormons expect all members to tithe one tenth of their income to the church. This income goes to humanitarian work, printing supplies, building maintenance, etc. Mormon clergy is unpaid. Jehovah's Witnesses do not tithe or take up collections; all contributions are anonymous and voluntary, and all of their Kingdom Halls are built and maintained by unpaid volunteers. Mormons' standard worship service is similar in format to most Protestant churches, with hymns, prayers, the Sacrament ('Communion' or the 'Lord's Supper'), and a couple of short sermons. Jehovah's Witnesses' standard worship services include prayers, singing, and study directly out of the Bible, sometimes using other theocratic books as study aids. Both Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons claim their organizations reflect the "Primitive Church" (follow the first century Christian model). Both churches seek to spread their word abroad and are known for going door-to-door to do so. Their intent is not to convert or baptize every person they speak to, but to give everyone in the world an opportunity to hear their message & the good news about God's Kingdom. Matthew 24:14 Both faiths have heath codes which outline proper diet, etc, but what these codes contain differs.
Do Jehovah's Witnesses accept meals on wheels for the elderly in their congregation?
Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses have no prohibition to accepting state or private help or aid if they duly qualify to receive it.Note: Given the particularities of the elderly, and their special needs, it should be noted that individual Witnesses (or their families) are free to make their own personal decisions in this regard and not all Witness families will decide to accept the provision of a pre-prepared food provision service ("meals on wheels").
Do jehovahs witnesses allow falatio?
There is nothing in the Bible that states there is anything wrong with it nor has it ever been discussed at our meetings or in our teachings. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and my wife and I give and receive plenty of it. It's is a personal preference and anyone that is telling you that "we" don't do it is speaking for themselves.
