ANSWER FROM ONE OF Jehovah's Witnesses...
In the Service year of 2010 the reported total number of people being Baptised is 294.368 (From the 2011 year book of Jehovah's Witnesses). Most of this number would have come from people who were having a study with Jehovah's Witnesses...
The Watchtower does not publish the number of people who become Witnesses via Bible study and it is not a statistic that gets recorded. The official website of Jehovah's Witnesses' latest statistics gives a total of 294,368 baptisms. (see link below)There were, on average, just over 8 million Bible studies reported. In my experience most people become baptized as Witnesses after having been born into the religion.
Any Jehovah's Witness you meet can get one to you. An e version is available at the related link.
jehovahs witnesses have been going fron the beginning of time they were called bible students in early days they changed there name to jehovahs witnesses because they are doing the witness work the was done by jesus when he was on earth and also because jehovah is the almightys personal name hence jehovahs witnesses
Jehovah's Witnesses (I am one) study the Bible. In all reality, if when the Bible is followed, women have many more rights than today's society gives them.
Jehovah's Witnesses worship the God of the bible; they identify him as Jehovah the Almighty Creator of the Universe.
If the man is divorced he can. But the bible clearly states in the book of Mathew that Jehovah does not approve of a divorce unless it's under sexual immorality.
We usually refer to them as a Study, because they are studying the Bible. They can also become unbaptized publishers once they have progressed in their studying and knowledge of the Bible.
"Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian denomination known for their door-to-door evangelism, distinctive beliefs such as the rejection of blood transfusions, and emphasizing activities like Bible study and evangelism."
No. Jehovah's Witnesses adopt God's view of marriage as found in the Bible that marriage is sacred.
To follow the Bile and teach other people the words of the bible
We do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin. If, however, a baptized Witness makes a practice of breaking the Bible's moral code and does not repent, he or she will be shunned or disfellowshipped. The Bible clearly states: "Remove the wicked man from among yourselves."-1 Corinthians 5:13.
People hate the Jehovah's Witnesses because they were "destined" to, should we say. In the Bible it says that the people of the true religion would be hated and discriminated against. It's fulfilling Bible prophecy. And by the way, the New World Translation of the Bible is not altered to fit Jehovah's Witnesses' beliefs. There are many credible resources that aren't even part of their religion that studied the translation and agree that it is the most UN-ALTERED form of the original manuscripts. Hope this helps. :) Jehovahs' witnesess encourage people to study using their own bible if they are more confortable
Many will argue but it is Jehovahs Witnesses. Ps 83:18
