Jehovah's Witnesses originated from The Bible Student movement in the late 19th century, which was part of the broader Protestant Christian tradition. This movement was influenced by the teachings of Charles Taze Russell, who sought to reform traditional Christian beliefs and emphasized a non-Trinitarian interpretation of the Bible. The group eventually became organized as the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society in 1881, marking its formal establishment as a distinct denomination.

Can a Jehovah witness date someone who is studying the faith?

There are many different type of Christianity based religions. Jehovah's Witnesses are one themselves. Being a christian is basically about believing that Christ was alive, and that he did come to earth at one point in time. The difference about Jehovah's witnesses and some other Christians is that Jehovahs witnesses believe that Christ was Jehovah's son, not God himself. And so, to answer your question, Jehovahs witnesses do not date girls or boys from different religions, Christian or not. If someone were to be in a relationship with a person who has a different god, it would almost be like he believes in that god as well. If a witness were to date a girl or boy of a different religion, it would be because he or she is not truly worshiping Jehovah.

What decision allowed jehovahs witnesses to use the front door?

That's what the front door is for; for visitors. No 'decision' for permission is required. Your door-bell and your knocker is the invitation; even for strangers. Even if there's neither a door-bell or a knocker, anyone can come to your front door and knock. Even the police can come to your door, and have to knock or ring the bell to present you with a search warrant; or with a summons.

What all can a Jehovahs Witnesses unbaptized publisher do?

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.

Do jehovahs have to attend meetings?

They don't "have to attend Sunday meetings." However, most Witnesses understand Hebrews 10:24,25 as strongly encouraging them to meet together regularly. Besides, not all Witnesses meet on Sunday; some, like me, attend on Saturday instead, especially when four or five congregations meet at the same location, and thus cannot all meet on Sunday.
