Are Jehovahs witnesses banned in Qatar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jehovah's Witnesses are banned in a few countries. Of course, they are not banned by Jehovah God from being His witnesses. And thus we continue to be His witnesses, and for that matter we continue 'witnessing'; even if it be underground.

We vary our methods in those countries. For obvious reasons we would not go publicly from house-to-house. We would not stand at a street corner holding up a Bible or another Bible publication. But we have our ways.

Also for obvious reasons, we would not publish a list of the lands. Nor would the rank-&-file Witness know which lands we are banned in. And it is possible that there actually are no Witnesses of Jehovah God in the country in the question.

The link below provides some information about our activities in countries that restrict us.

I may not know any of their names are but I am definitely sure there are JWs in that country.

Even in countries (like Singapore) where the JWs are banned from performing their Christian duties to "preach the good news of the kingdom" has Jehovah's Witnesses.

It is a fulfillment of the prophesy written in Matthew 24:14.

Was the wayans family Jehovah's Witnesses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Wayans brother were raised with a familiarity with Jehovah's Witnesses. Some of their family members are or were Jehovah's Witnesses. Damon Wayans was rumored to have studied with the witnesses back about the time he made the movie "Major Payne." As far as it seems at present, I am unaware of any of the Wayans brothers who actually became Jehovah's Witnesses.

What are some similarities between Islam and Jehovah's Witnesses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The real name for Mormons is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - or LDS for short.

The only similarity between Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses is that both knock on doors to talk to people and they both believe in God and the Bible - though Later-day saints use the King James version and JW's have their own version.

Is Beyonce a Jehovahs Witness?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have done a good deal of research on this, and I cannot find any evidence that she is a JW, nor can I find any mention of what her religion, if any, she claims. No she isn't one of Jehovah's Witnesses, have you heard part of her song Love Story it says "you were romeo and i was the scarlet letter" if she were one of Jehovah's Witnesses I can assure you that wouldn't be in her song because the scarlet letter is the symbol for adultery, but maybe she just didn't know what she was saying but still I'm pretty sure she isn't I did a little research and nothing showed up.

Was Prince in good standing as a Jehovah's Witness when he died?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Prince Rogers Nelson (his real name, by the way), studied with Larry Graham (a former member of Sly and the Family Stone) who became a Jehovah's Witness about 30 years ago. Prince did this in honor of his promise to his dying mother, who herself was a Jehovah's Witness. Appearantly, what he learned motivated him to make some changes, because he made many adjustments in what he would and would not do on stage, including his wardrobe and song lyrics. Prince become a baptised Jehovah's Witness about 7 years ago. Whether he is still active in congregation at this time, I do not know.

Who in Michael Jacksons family are jehovah's witnesses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The simple answer is: No, they are not.

The only people that can answer "yes" to this question,

are the family and friends of the children.

The more correct answer chould then be:

No, they are not Jehovah's Witnesses at this moment. This may change at any time, if the kids choose to.

To be a JW you have to (the short version) go through Bible studies, change your current life and be baptised. No one can be forced to be or being born as a Jehovah's Witness.

Changing this answer to "yes they are" does not add quality to the answer and are most likely incorrect.

How many Jehovah's Witnesses are in South Africa?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the worldwide report for 2006, there were a peak of 78,877 active JW's in South Africa. That is a ratio of one out of every 560 persons in South Africa is an active JW. Note: we only count those who are baptised as a JW and actively engaged in the witnessing work as being of that number. Others who are passively associated with JW's, those who may have become inactive in the faith, unbaptised persons who are studying with JW's, or children who are not old enough to have personally accepted the faith, are not counted.

Why don't Jehovah's Witnesses sing gospel music?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

ANSWERYes, we are just like anybody else. Choices in music, movies, TV, are all a matter of individual tastes. At the same time, we realize that our choices can influence our behaviour, so we are encouraged to be selective in our choices. For example, we are warned against the dangers of exposing ourselves to movies that feature graphic sex and violence. But we are also instructed that we are individually responsible before God for our own choices that we make. Our congregation elders are not spiritual policemen that come to our house and check to see what we have been watching or listening to. We also dance. Even at get togethers that some in the congregation may hold.

One other side note is that we are encouraged to be balanced in the matter of entertainment. A person can waste a lot of productive, valuable time watching movies, TV, and playing video games. So we are encouraged to be wise with our time.

ANSWERI'm a JW, and I listen to music, my favorite band being the Jonas Brothers, and I watch TV, my favorite channels being Disney, USA network (Monk, awesome show) TV Land (Old TV shows are the best!) and history (I love history!!) I will watch RFDTV if they have something about horses. ANSWERThere are those,including some in the organization,who feel that listening to or having a career in pop music is a strange thing for a Jehovah's Witness to do as it has connections with drug taking and the occult.Listening to rap music and heavy metal has been strongly discouraged by the organization for these reasons,but many parents do find it difficult to prevent their children listening to these art forms as they often have little or no knowledge about them.Indeed,it is often ignorance about modern music that causes some parents in our religion to discourage their children from listening to it,as you may find it more difficult to accept something if you don't know much about it.

Examples of people in the recording industry who became Jehovah's Witnesses include Shadows guitarist Hank Marvin,German easy listening artist Ricky King,jazz artist Benny Golson and the singers Michael Jackson,George Benson,Prince and William DeVaughn.
