For many people Christianity is the religion of choice and a way of life. Jehovah?s Witnesses are one subgroup of the Christian faith. The JW religion was founded in 1872 by Charles Taze Russell. They comprise 1.2 million of the U.S. population (Campbell, Y., Machan M., & Fisher, M., 2016). They present a unique challenge to the medical community because of their stance on blood transfusions.

“Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law,” Thomas Paine (Like Success). Under the first amendment, people are ensured the freedom of establishing a religion and allows the religious group to have the free exercise thereof, but millions of individuals are still persecuted because of their religious preferences (Bill of Rights Institute). The many who wish to serve and worship their God peacefully are often the main subjects of ridicule. More often than not these are Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Young employs a descriptive framework in his book The World’s Religions that is used to understand religion and the ways in which religion plays various roles in human life (Young 12). The framework was developed from the definition of religion he describes in his book. Young defines religion as being, “human transformation in response to perceived ultimacy” (4). This framework developed by Young was a tool of analysis he employed to compare religions through seven questions that formulate a basic understanding of a particular religion’s worldview. The seven questions that make up Young’s framework are as follows: what does it mean to be human, what is the basic human problem, what is the cause of the problem, what is the end or goal of transformation, what are the means of transformation, what is the nature of reality, and what

Church buildings, musical instruments, ministers’ attire, choir robes, hymns, names of converts, schools and curriculums had Americans’ religious, cultural, and economic trademark. The Christianity that addressed issues of life in the American cultural context was transplanted in different parts of the world. Unlike the transition of the Hebraic-Christianity from the Jewish culture to the Gentile world in the first century, which developed its own unique theological, cultural, and leadership identity in a short period of time, the phenomenal growth of Christianity in the majority world has been largely influenced by the dominance of American Christianity. As the result, we have Christian faith that is not well anchored on local theology. And to most of the churches in the majority world, up until recently,

The history of religion continues to play an important role in defining why certain aspects of religion are the way they are today. Understanding religion’s history can also help one appreciate the importance, value, and determination that certain individuals went through in order for that particular religion to gain freedom and acceptance in society. Throughout history, Christianity has shown exactly this. By learning about its history, one can gain an understanding of how it emerged into being one of the most popular religions in the world. Furthermore, better understanding of the religion, both historically and contemporarily, can help dispel any negative preconceived notions about Christianity.

The site provides only one perspective, “what Christians believe”, the role of God, Jesus, and what matters to a Christian believer, but as stated before, the site only provides the basics of Christian belief’s, without providing information on separate denominations. One’s bias holds a certain perspective on the topic, and is often accompanied by the exclusion of an alternative point of view.

The motive’s held by the agency presented on the website is in hopes that men and women will take steps of faith toward making a commitment to Jesus Christ. They provide not only information but also ways to contact the agency with questions, for help getting involved, and with prayer requests.

The Christian Enquiry Agency strives to provide adequate information with a positive light on their faith and its teachings, while also promoting

In my opinion I feel that the religious rights were taken away from Darlene Brown. In the Jehovah's Witness religion they are strictly prohibited from receiveing blood transfusions. I also believe that there is a great imbalance of justice, it is either Mrs Browns religious beliefs or the state of Illinois stepping in and saying that must get the blood transfusion against her wishes. It makes me fell like Mrs Brown was violated by her own state. And I'm sad to think that something like that could happen.
