The Bahá’í religion diffused in the nineteenth twentieth centuries, under the leadership of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, son of the prophet Bahá’u’lláh. Bahá’í also spread rapidly during the late twentieth century, when a temple was constructed on every continent.

As America is rich in multi cultural immigrants’ diversities in culture, beliefs, faiths and religion are not uncommon among American population. Health care profession is one of the major areas that are affected with these diversities of culture, beliefs, faiths and religion. While there are many advantages of rich and diverse heritage, it’s challenging for health care professionals to deal with those from various faith/ spiritual background, especially for minority religious groups. However, in order to provide best available care health care professionals

Religion plays an important role in people’s daily life. It gives them a sense of belonging and brings communities together. After doing research, it is clear that for African Americans religion brings them a great sense of comfort, belonging and brings them together as one; it has played a big role in helping African American’s be where they are today and it continually fights for their freedom and rights.

The Jehovah Witnesses beliefs contrast very heavily from that of Protestant, Catholic, along with other secs of Christianity. In this paper the start of the Religion, the differences, and founding fathers of the religion will be touched on and gone over.

Many religions, sects, and cults can trace their lineage back to main religions, one of them being Christianity. Christianity is a religion that has a presense in many countries all over the globe. It is about two thousand years old and while it has progressed, several other religions sprouted and developed from the first teachings and knowledge of the Bible and Christianity.

Knock, knock. Who’s there? It’s a Jehovah’s Witness! Have you ever had a Jehovah’s Witness knock on your door? Jesus told His people to “go and make disciples of people of all the nations” in Matthew, and since they didn’t have phones or social media to spread the Word of God, the only way to do it was to go from house to house. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that door-to-door ministry is the best way to reach people. The members of this religion would sit outside for hours upon hours just to convert a couple people to being a Jehovah’s Witness. “...We made return visits to householders who had formerly shown interest in our message, even the least bit…” says a Jehovah’s Witness Pioneer. While having some similar beliefs as Christianity, Jehovah’s Witnesses have several differences, too.

One of the reasons Jehovah's Witnesses we persecuted by the Nazis is because they refused to enlist in the military. It was in their religious belief that going to war was a sin. According to JW.org, ¨Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t go to war [because of their] obedience to Jesus. ¨Jehovah's Witnesses followed the example of early Christians, According to The Encyclopedia of Religion and War, ´The earliest followers of Jesus rejected war and military services, incompatible with the love ethic of Jesus and the injunction to love one’s enemies.” (Why Don't Jehovah's Witnesses Go to War?)

Jehovah’s Witnesses sit in their congregation meeting, while a brother gets up on the stage with a long face, announcing that their literature has been banned in Russia, the brother mentions that this is only the beginning. Indeed for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia it was only the beginning. Jehovah’s Witnesses now face a ban in Russia. But it’s important to know the who, what, when, where, how and why. We will explore who Jehovah’s Witnesses are, What has happened in the past to Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia, also What their response has been worldwide, how it has affected their everyday lives, and why they are being labeled extremist in Russia.

There is so much negativity and judgement in this world. There needs to be more believers in Jesus Christ. Having more believers will make things better. It will also help to guide other people that need guidance on the right path to righteousness. There are so many people that do not understand the truth about living the right way when it comes down to following Jesus Christ. People who are surrounded by a church community, will have an easier life being a Christian, will be guided by the Ten Commandments, and will learn to have a loving heart for others.

Jehovah's Witnesses are members of a Christian-based religious movement. The church came out of the 19th-century American Adventist tradition. It was founded in the USA towards the end of the 19th century, under the leadership of Charles Taze Russell. Jehovah's Witnesses base their beliefs only on the text of the Bible which is the Word of God. They believes that the traditional Christian Churches have deviated from the true teachings of the Bible, and do not work in full harmony with God. Jehovah's Witnesses have no professional clergy. All baptized members are considered ordained ministers. All members take on the missionary work of telling outsiders about the Witness beliefs. Witnesses are trained from their youth to work as part-time missionaries for their whole lives.

The term ‘religious experience’ can come up with a wide range and diverse series of images. We might assume that it can include anything from a prayer, to attending a service at a place of worship, to even ‘hearing the voice of God’. The argument for the existence of God based on religious experience is in fact a posteriori as it is based on people’s encounters with God. Unlike other arguments, the argument is based on a direct link to God - if we are able to show that God is experienced then we therefore cannot deny his existence. Many people are more likely to believe something if it has been experienced. Our experience of God is the best evidence we have that God exists.

The word that Jehovah spake concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet. 2 Declare ye among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed; her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed. 3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they are fled, they are gone, both man and beast. 4 In those days, and in that time, saith Jehovah, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek Jehovah their God. 5 They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces

In our community there are many different and diverse faiths, and my experiences with people of different faiths were very unique and delightful. When I was small my parents always taught me to respect other people’s faiths and beliefs as you would like them to respect your beliefs because if you discriminate people for those believing in a different faith will not make you a better person but it will hurt you in the future and I thanks my parents for that wonderful teaching because of that for me meeting people of other faiths than mine does not change my attitude towards them, for example I would act or have the same attitude, or opinion towards a Jewish the same as I would act towards a Muslim. Me being a Hindu and going to a catholic

I really enjoyed hearing about the Baha’i faith. It blew me away to hear that the Baha’i faith is founded on unity, which includes accepting beliefs of all faiths. Even as a Christian it is based on to love others, no matter what religion or faith they might practice, however, we are commanded to not believe in any other God. I am unaware if the Baha’i faith accepts other faiths’ Gods, however, Sammie implied that they would accept them none the less. It is inspiring that the Baha’i faith lives true to their belief of unity.

The Islamic faith has taken a firm stance on their belief of Baha’i. They take the teachings of the Baha’i religion as the teachings of heretics. Muslims have ridiculed, persecuted, and executed followers of this faith since 1850, when they executed the Bab.
