The Jehovah's Witnesses

The Jehovah's Witnesses church located at Haydnstraat 6, 8031 ZA Zwolle, Netherlands is a non-denominational Christian organization that was founded in 1884 by Charles Taze Russell. The church is also known as the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are known for their door-to-door evangelism efforts, where they distribute literature and preach to people in their neighborhoods. They believe in spreading God's message of salvation through Jesus Christ to all nations.

1. The church has a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century when Russell founded the Watchtower Society. The society published a magazine called "Watchtower" which became a central tool for disseminating the teachings of the organization.
2. In 1931, the name was officially changed to Jehovah's Witnesses and since then the church has grown exponentially. Today, there are over 8 million active members worldwide.

The church is headquartered in Warwick, New York, USA and has a global presence with over 120,000 congregations spread across 240 countries.

• Jehovah's Witnesses believe in the Bible as their holy book and use it to guide their teachings and practices. They believe that God is one and indivisible, and that Jesus Christ is his only-begotten Son who was sent to earth to save humanity from sin.
• They also believe in baptizing adults by immersion, and observing two main ordinances: the Lord's Supper (also known as Communion or the Eucharist) and the Memorial of God's favor to Israel.

Jehovah's Witnesses are also known for their distinctive dress code which includes men wearing suits and ties and women dressing modestly. They also have a unique greeting ritual, where they use the phrase "May the Watchtower bless you" instead of shaking hands or kissing.

The church has faced criticism and controversy over the years, particularly regarding their stance on blood transfusions, disfellowshipping (expelling) members who commit certain sins, and their view on the end times.

Despite these challenges, the Jehovah's Witnesses continue to grow and thrive as a global Christian organization.
