My question is are Jehovah witnesses looked upon differently because of there religious views?

Many people may not know that Jehovah witnesses have some of the same views as Christians. Most people look at Jehovah witnesses differently because of some thing they are know for like knocking on peoples doors early to talk about their religion. Also most people don’t like the way they go about with certain holidays and don’t believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Something most people don’t know is that Jehovah witnesses don’t believe in hell but a lot of other religions do so in the afterlife if you don’t go to heaven and you’re a Jehovah witness you don’t go to hell your soul is forever gone and you don’t have a afterlife. These things are important because before you say you don’t like a religion or a person because of there beliefs you need to know a lot about the religion and most people don’t know the things that I talked about in this brochure so I am just trying to inform people so they can have a better understanding of the religion before they start judging and disliking because of one or two things.

My question is are Muslims looked upon differently because of there religious views?

When most people here Muslim all they think about is bombing because of 9/11 so because of this a lot of people don’t like Muslims or their religion. Now before people judge I think that they should learn about the religion because if you don’t know about the religion then you shouldn’t judge other people and shouldn’t not like a whole religion and its people because of one event that happened. **“Other prophets are important in Islam as well, all of which are shared with the Jews or the Christians.”** Most people might not have known that Muslims believe in the same prophets as Christians and Jews so therefore if you don’t like Muslims then maybe you should like Jews or Christians either then because they have some similar beliefs. So next time before you judge somebody because of there religion make sure you know enough to judge.


 * Reflection-**
 * Now i know that jehovah witnesses have some of the same beliefs as christians and that they don't believe in the existence of hell. I know that Muslims worship some of the same prophets that christians and jews worship.


 * I chose Jehovah witnesses because my grand-pop is a jehovah witness and i didn't really know anything about the religion and i wanted to get more of an understanding to see why my grandfather doesn't do certain things. I chose Muslims because i judge people that are Muslim but i didn't really know about the religion but now i know about the religion a little bit but enough to not judge them any more.


 * I feel good about my final project i think that my analysis could be a little better and had more description and talked a little more, but i think that my brochure is very good.



1.Question you wanna investigate 2. Sources 3. Larger idea to prove

Religion and ritual

 * Jehovah Witnesses Religious Views**

"For instance, Witnesses rely on the authority of the Bible, worship only one God, and trust in Jesus' death and resurrection for salvation."

"Most notably their rejection of the doctrine of the Trinity and the existence of Hell." "Witnesses also have stronger apocalyptic expectations than most Christians - since the founding of the group, Witnesses have been expecting the imminent arrival of Armageddon and the end times."

"Witnesses see the Bible as a gift from God"

"Jehovah's Witnesses believe in one God, the Creator of the universe and the God of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures."

"Jehovah has a spirit body and lives in heaven, but sees all things. Jehovah's Witnesses reject the doctrine of the Trinity."

"Jehovah's Witnesses deny the existence of hell. Instead, they hold that the souls of the wicked will be annihilated."

Quotes from The Watchtower The Truth that Leads to Eternal Life 1968, pg 13  We need to examine, not only what we personally believe, but also what is taught by any religious organization...

Is This Life All There Is?, 1974, pg 46, ...really, would you want to be associated with a religion that has not been honest with you?

This source adds to my project because it talks about the jehovah witnesses religious views and most people don't really understand or know what a Jehovah's view is. With this source I am hoping that i give the readers a better understanding of jehovah witnesses religious view. In my brochure i am going to write about what i feel is the most important things to focus on about the jehovah witnesses views.


 * Muslim Religious Views**

"There is no God but God, and Muhammad is his Prophet."
 * Citations for Muslim religious views- N.p., n.d. Web. 8 Nov 2011. .**

"Many Muslims believe that one must adhere to the six articles to be considered a Muslim."

The single most important belief in Islam, and arguably the central theme of Islam, is that there is only one God. The name of God is //Allah//, which is simply Arabic for "the (//al//) God (//Ilah//)."

Muhammad, the founder of Islam, is revered as "the Seal of the Prophets" - the last and greatest of the messengers of God.

Other prophets are important in Islam as well, all of which are shared with the Jews or the Christians. According to the Qur'an, Allah "created man from a clot of blood" at the same time he created the //jinn// from fire. Humans are the greatest of all creatures, created with free will for the purpose of obeying and serving God.

Like Christianity, Islam teaches the continued existence of the soul and a transformed physical existence after death. There will be a day of judgment and humanity will be divided between the eternal destinations of Paradise and Hell.

The religion and philosophy of Islam, is based upon the belief that God (Allah) transmitted knowledge to Muhammad (c. 570–632) and other prophets (Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus). The followers of Islamic religion, muslims, believe that this revelation to humanity was written down in the Quran, which is the flawless word of God.

In my brochure i am going to write about what i feel is the most important things to focus on about the muslim religious views. This source adds to my project because muslims may have different religious views then Jehovah witnesses.
