Who Is A Jehovah's Witness?

There are many religions throughout the world today. Although there are several different religions, many individuals are not educated about the other beliefs besides there own. Religions today do have differences but are also very much the same. This is demonstrated between the religion of Yoruba, and Christianity. The Gods that the people in these religions worship are different but have the same purpose throughout the lives of each individual. Each individual’s purpose and goal in these religions also display similarities. Furthermore the rituals that are done throughout these religions are done for directions and to improve the relationship between the individual and their god. There are various differences and similarities between

With the major religions constantly crashing together, the principles and customs of each religion seem to always build similarities each time you study them. This is what occurred to me when i began reading “Living religions” studying practices and rites. Beginning with the traditional indigenous groups - descendants of the original inhabitants of lands now controlled by larger political systems in which they may have little influence (33) -, I observed the common rites performed by the different indigenous groups. Many groups lean on the word “spiritual”, rather than “religious”. There’s really no clarification as to why this is the case, but the author, Fisher addressed that religion has

Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all have similar origins, development, beliefs, and sacred texts. Contrary to popular belief all three of these religions share more common ground than one would think. The differences are present of course, but the similarities help one understand where all three were derived from and why. All of the religions share the common ground as to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the belief of monotheism, and “ethical standards required social justice for individuals and for the community” (144). Judaism is the oldest religion out of the three, then falls Christianity, and lastly Islam.

Daily communications and interactions at school, work or other places can expand Canadians’ knowledge about religions and also it would stretch their relationship borders internationally with other people who are from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds. Meanwhile, Canadians can enjoy the benefits of pleasant learning about different religions from their friends as well as make comparisons conveniently between advantages or disadvantages of each religion and discuss them with their friends. For example, if someone has a false belief about a particular subject in others` religion or even does not understand some part of a religion, s/he can ask their friends in order to clarify the

One example of this is that Roselily will now have to constantly wear a veil over her head. “A lifetime of black and white. Of veils. Covered head.”(2, Walker) Muslim culture has women wear veils over their heads. In other cultures, (in Christianity’s case,) they don’t wear veils at all, nor robes, (excluding marriage) a change Roselily must go through to follow normality. Veils aren’t the only cultural norm, Roselily also has to stay in the home, rather than going out and working. “ Her place will be in the home, he has said, repeatedly, promising her rest she had prayed for.”(2, Walker) Roselily’s husband is promising her that she will stay at home, rather than being out, which is strange to Roselily altogether. Roselily sacrifices what she wants to wear and her free will to work if she wants to, just to make sure her children are happy by adjusting to new cultural

There are may religions in the world, but through out the different religions there are many crossovers and similarities. Mattie Stepanek said “It doesn't matter how you pray. Just pray. All religions are beautiful and they all have one common belief. There's something bigger and greater than us that can give us and take from us life. It is better than the here and now”. Religion itself means “a belief in and worship of a greater power” (dictionary.com). By people believing in any kind of religion, it means that similarities can start there. With so many religions having similarities, it might be hard to distinguish from certain religions from another. Religions like of African and Native Americans might not at first seem alike, but as you look deeper into their religions and see they have similarities. These similarities are attributed as beliefs, rituals, and history. Their growths and struggles might not have happened at the same time, but both religions are still celebrated today.

These similarities show that the different religion and people are not actually that different and

Next, the two groups celebrate customs that are often blindly followed. Finally, the dominant world religions and smaller cults pursue a lifestyle that is accepted by their group. By analyzing the recognized beliefs, the different customs, and the controlled lifestyle of the widespread religion and cult followers, it will become evident that the two are ultimately similar.

Religion has played a very important role in society and the history of mankind for over thousands of years. Originally created by ancient peoples as a way to explain the unknown, religion has greatly evolved and spread across the globe. As new religions have formed and spread, the diversity and similarities between these new religions have also increased, especially due to their geographic locations. Two civilizations in particular with both similar and distinct religions are ancient China, and ancient Egypt. Ancient Chinese religion and ancient Egyptian religion share many things in common with each other, yet at the same time they are

My mothers’ family comes from a small pueblo, village, in Mexico. In this small pueblo their main religion is Jehovah’s Witness. My grandparents, my mother, my uncles, and my aunts were raised with this religion. My grandma would tell me how religion was essential for them that their village would come together and pray and do everything as one big family. They would gather around to sing and to preach to others. Little by little my mother

Those who are raised within one religious tradition may find it difficult to understand the traditions of another religion. It is not until one is educated in the basics of the other major world religions, that it is possible to see the many similarities between them. Just as there are many similarities between the countries culturally, the major religions share more things than they are different. In viewing Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism with an open mind, it is easy to see the differences, similarities and ideals that make these religions as widespread as they are.

They believe and have hope that they will be one of the 144,000.00 people that will go to heaven. However with that being said I could imagine that people would eventually lose hope in that. Working with clients who may have a crisis in their faith, I would recommend some resources to them to help. The resources I would recommend to them would be talking with someone who has a similar faith as them, perhaps a mentor at their place of fellowship. Perhaps it would be helpful for them to join a bible study or group of other believers who they can communicate with regarding their faith. I would also recommend the www.jw.org website to them as this is the official website of Jehovah's Witness and offers information regarding their
