What if your aunt left all her worldly goods to the humane society . . . or to a hospital . . . or to some other charity? Is it really your business? Would you not want her final wishes carried out?
What about your own wishes? Would you not want YOUR final wishes carried out? Then, you must respect HER final wishes, also. (Indeed - it was HER life and HER money!)
Leaving one's worldly goods to this organization is actually the best cause to which one could leave their estate. Through their ministry, Jehovah's Witnesses have helped millions of people improve their lives by applying Bible principles and given them a sure hope for eternal life in perfect health on an earth restored to its original paradise condition. Also, through this organization, many people worldwide have been been supplied with food, shelter, and clothing after horrible natural and man-made disasters. Your aunt's estate could provide additional funds to help support those efforts.
However, if you truly disagree with her decision after her death, you may challenge her will on various grounds, and in that case, it would be best to seek legal advice.
Jehovahs witnesses call fellow Jehovah's Witnesses brother or sister. We are all Jehovah's children and like any family would call their sibling brother or sister or by their first name we do the same within our brotherhood.

The cumulative amount since the Witnesses started is not available. The 2013 annual report gives a peak figure of Witnesses in Israel for the 2012 service year of 1379. Not all of that number is necessarily Jews as it may include non Jews that are Witnesses that live in Israel.
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.
No, regardless of the relationship decisions of their offspring Jehovah's Witnesses never hate their children. Jehovah's Witnesses are encouraged to see the practical benefits of courting and marrying people that share their faith but as parents they respect their adult children's right to make their own decisions on this matter. As Christians Jehovah's Witnesses seek to show love to all people including their children.
This is such a ridiculous question, I am not sure it deserves a response. Alll I can say is, "WHAT?" ANSWER Jehovah's Witnesses do not "prey" on anyone. The word is heavily negative and implies that Jehovah's witnesses systematically take advantage of and harm young people. This is far from the truth. Firstly, Jehovah's Witnesses to not 'target' any age group, nation or race. They preach to everyone, in every home, in every street all over the world. Secondly, their message is not harmful. They teach the bible and encourage all to put the bible into practice. So, no Jehovah's Witnesses do not "prey" on anyone.
Yes. As of the 2007 service report for Jehovah's Witnesses there were right at 200 witnesses and 3 congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses in Gambia. If you are in Gambia and you wish to find the nearest congregation to you, use this web addy ( https://watch002.securesites.net/contact/submit.htm ) to provide your contact info and within a few days or weeks, a witness from the area will contact you.
Jehovah's witnesses are very understanding and if your parent a very true to the bible, then they know as Jehovah's witnesses they are to be kind to all, and never keep a grudge. I'm sure if they are true Jehovah's witnesses they will be fine, with your choses. i know lots of Jehovah's witnesses and they married other religions people Jehovah's witnesses were and are so trusted and friendly that when they would be the barbers in ww2 in the concentration camps, they were trusted to shave the German officers, so you should be able to trust your parents.
The Jehovah's Witnesses recognise all the prophets in the bible as being sent by God, namely those such as Moses, Elijah, Danel Jeremiah and many more. They believe Jesus was the last and the greatest prophet.
One of Jehovah's Witnesses who is an unbaptized publishermeans that they have not been baptized but wish to share in the work that Jesus Christ, God's son, commanded us to do at Matthew 24:14 which reads, "And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." The next step for an unbaptized publisher is to become a baptized publisher. Baptized publishers ultimately do the same as unbaptized publishers except for the fact that they have dedicated their lives to Jehovah God meaning they will use their lives in worship to him.

I ran a test in word processing using aunt, aunts, aunt's, and aunts' with the same combination of other words. The system put them in this order: aunt, aunt's, aunts, aunts'. All the words I tried lined up in this same order. So, according to Microsoft, it is aunt's then aunts'.
Matthew 7:16 says 'By their fruits you will recognize them'. The bible is talking about true Christians, and Jehovah's Witnesses fit the bill. We are all imperfect humans, but true Christians try to live up to the commandments in the bible; to read God's word and apply it in their life, to 'make disciples' by teaching bible truth, and by making God's name known. If someone does all these things, they are very probably Jehovah's witnesses.
