We're ok with it. No problems with it.
It is viewed as fine.
No, it's not. I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses and I don't think it's wrong.
I don't think any record keeping is kept of deaths of Jehovah's Witnesses so I would say unknown.
The name Jehovah's Witness comes from the Bible. In Isaiah Jehovah told his people: 'You are my Witnesses' Followers use the name because they believe they are witnessing to others on behalf of Jehovah, much like one would in a court case. They think of themselves as character witnesses for Jehovah against Satan. Jehovah's Witnesses consider it important to share their religious beliefs with others. They also believe that living by their faith should be a way of life, as the bible says it was for Jesus and his disciples.
No, they do not believe that.
Witnesses try to have nothing to do with political or nationalistic celebrations.
I don't think there are any. I would confirm.
I think it's Jehovah's witnesses.
Some of his songs certianly do magnify Jehovah's creation, so I can see why you might think he has studied with Jehovah's people, but truly, I do not know the answer to your question. Perhaps you could write and ask him.
They use the same Bible as mainstream Christians and believe in the same God. They believe the Bible God however not to be triune. Jehovah's Witnesses also think God values and wants declared his personal name (Jehovah (English)/Yahweh (Hebrew) and thus give the divine name, in its English form, prominence in their worship.
Each person must decide for themselves what is truthful. So, while it is truthful to one of Jehovah's Witnesses, it would not be truthful to a person practicing a different faith, because that person would think what he/she believes is truthful. To determine whether or not a person would find out if Jehovah's Witnesses are truthful, one would have to first decide if belief in God is truthful, then would have to be convinced the Bible is the word of God, and then would have to examine the Bible to see if what Jehovah's Witnesses teach is from the Bible. People who have taken those steps have either agreed or disagreed with the interpretation of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Charles Russell founded the Watchtower magazine and the Watchtower Society, a legal entity used by Jehovah's Witnesses. He did not found Jehovah's Witnesses, as Jehovah has had his Witnesses since the time of Abel. Jesus is the founder of Christianity, at which point in time all of Jehovah's faithful Witnesses who prior to this had been Jewish, began to include people of all nationalities in the newly established Christian Congregation. Mistakenly, a number of people thought the Bible Students, as Jehovah's Witnesses were known back then, were followers of Pastor Russell. Actually, this was not the case; we follow no human. Our leader or head is Jesus Christ. Because of this erroneous belief, as well as in attempts to discredit the fact that we were (and are) practicing Christians serving Jehovah under the headship of his Son Jesus Christ, they branded us with this apellation, which some still resort to down to this day. Additionally Yes the russelites is what many people called the Bible students at that time but as stated before it was not their actual name. Jehovah's Witnesses never did claim to be called by such a name because they knew who they were following even though Brother Russell was of major importance, he was not their leader, only the most high Jehovah God and Jesus Christ are. The term "Russelites" was never a name that Jehovah's Witnesses or the Bible Students officially adopted or embraced. It also was not ever endorced by Charles Russel himself. It was a term coined by some on the outside of the organization.
