Jehovah 's Witness Home Has Its Ups And Its Downs

The one that stood out to me was the state of doubt and disbelief. Doubt is a word every humans uses when they don’t believe in something fully. When it comes to faith, saying we doubt is saying that our faith is small. You can’t have “just a little bit” of faith. You have got to believe one hundred percent. There is no 25 percent or 75 percent in how much you believe in Jesus Christ, Atheism, Communism, etc. You either believe or you don’t. Nowadays, people will believe anything they hear, which is not good for your mind. Disbelief is the most dangerous state of mind to be in when it comes to faith. Every teen will have questions and they will be confused about things, but it’s very important that we don’t fall into

James Fowler developed his stages of faith after conduction in-depth interviews of 359 people. The sample subjects were predominately white, with equal numbers of males and females and included a wide range of ages, from three and a half to 84 years old. Fowler’s interviews consisted of 30 plus questions regarding the subject’s life experiences, relationships, values, commitments and religion. After analyzing the responses, Fowler placed each subject in one of six faith stages. The responses indicated that as the subject’s age increased, so did their stage of faith (Hutchison, 2015).

Some adults may live much of their lives with a literal faith. Stage three is group faith Young people start to value the importance of friendship and often come to view God as one who treats them much like a trusted companion. Stage four is person faith. People strengthen their faith by questioning earlier beliefs. Stage five is mystical faith. At this stage of faith the awareness of God’s inner presence leads one to become more aware that God also dwells in others. Interfaith dialogue now becomes not a threat but an opportunity for new understanding. Stage six is sacrificial faith. Jesus, Dorothy Day, and Archbishop Romero are examples of this sacrificial faith. Such people display radical and consistent commitment to the doing of God’s will that is uncompromised by concern for personal security.

Many are times nurses that the efforts of nurses’ medical interventions have been rejected by the patient owing to their religious beliefs. As such this paper details out the dilemma, the nurses faces while taking care of Jehovah Witness patients and the actions they take to treat the patient without violating their rights.

Nurses have the responsibility of caring for a diverse group of people. These people come from different cultures, races, and religious backgrounds. Religion plays a major role in patient care and has for many years. Cultural competency is a major component of nursing practices. Understanding culture is imperative in knowing what is important to a patient and how to address his or her healthcare needs. Understanding culture is also important when determining what suggestions to make about interventions for treatment. Culture is defined as many people interacting and sharing with one another their patterns of behavior, beliefs and values (Burkhardt, G. & Nathaniel, A., 2014).

Presented with the task of assessing someone’s faith development required the answers to three essential questions. How has social learning played a part in the individual’s religious development? How has attachment played a part in the individual’s religious development? Upon answering these questions we must then evaluate the stages of faith development in which the individual is in according to James Fowler and David Elkind. After thorough evaluation has occurred the question pertaining to the role of doubt can then be answered. With these questions in mind, the theory that religious beliefs and adherence to spiritual faith are ultimately tested and proved during adolescence was the driving thought throughout the process of interviewing

Many studies about Jehovah Witnesses state that they are the strictest religion out there. They have rules that should be followed or the person ends up condemned. They do not believe in other religions whatsoever, in any shape or form. Jehovah Witnesses God’s name to them is Jehovah. The sociological concepts discussed will be social class and norms, a function and a dysfunction of Jehovah Witness religion, a symbolic ritual, and an aspect of this religion that entails conflict.

Bethany Lutheran Homes was founded by a group of Lutheran pastors and other caring community members who saw a need for senior care in the community. Pastor Dale Ruosch, founding member once said, “We need a home for the aging to live in peace and dignity where Christian philosophy will serve as our guide.”

As a Christian what I have observed in my school and in my generation is that youth do not understand what it is to be a Christian and disciple of Christ. There are those who do not have a personal relationship with Christ nor understand what being a true Christian. Then there are those who claim to be Christians but continue to live their lives with the rest of the world. And at last those who have truly dedicated their lives to Christ and have a personal relationship with Him. In 2008 I started my own organization to encourage teens to have a daily prayer life and personal relationship with Christ. I saw this need in my school and I decided to do something about it. The scripture that I use for my organization

Many know them as people who go knocking from door to door wanting to Evangelize, to talk to you about Jesus. Sound familiar? I didn’t know what they actually believed until I did my research. The Jehovah’s Witnesses were actually founded in Pennsylvania in the late 1800s, during a dispute taken place during a Bible study. The dispute was over some of the views within Christianity. The founder is a man named Charles Taze Russell. Thus, the Jehovah’s Witnesses were born. Their name stood out because they considered themselves as “a group of Christians who proclaim the truth about Jehovah”. Jehovah’s Witnesses main focus in on God the Father. There are over 8.3 million Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world.

Hey Kathleen, I really enjoyed reading your thread, especially when you talk about being born in a Jehovah’s witness family. I can only imagine how confused you were when you got older, and realized that you were not being taught about the real Christ. How did that make you feel? Where you angry, confused, let down or did you just embrace it for what is was? People reject the gospel all the time based on beliefs of what they are taught growing up, such as yourself. When you are born into a certain religion you grow up knowing only that religion. When we are confronted about another God we automatically reject it. Not because we want to, but because of the fear of the unknown. Sharing the love of Christ is what someone did to address your objections,

Jehovah’s Witnesses are a people known widely throughout the world. They are well-dressed people who come knocking at your door on different occasions offering religious literature for sale or trying to introduce their beliefs through carefully prepared conversation. People young, old, rich, poor, well educated and non-educated have embraced them. Their enthusiasm as proclaimers of God’s Kingdom has impressed even their harshest critics. Their love toward one another makes some non-witnesses hope and pray that more people would act in that manner. Yet, some may still wonder, who really are the Jehovah’s Witnesses? What is their history, their practices and their beliefs? Why are they the most attacked new religious

Educators need to understand the impact of religion on the lives of their students. According to Gallup poll data, nearly 95% of teens believe in God and 86% believe that Jesus Christ is either God or the Son of God (Gallup & Lindsay, 1999 as cited in Ream, 2003). These and other similar statistics demonstrate the importance of considering religion when dealing with young people. Ream

It is the youth who are encountering the most serious challenge to his/her faith under the impact of godless culture of modernity.
