Jehovah’s Witnesses is a religious doctrine based on the Bible but unique in that it is radically different from all Christian religions. They are also known for their interpretation of the Bible, according to which they deny the doctrine of the Trinity. The sect was primarily organized according to the hierarchy of theocracy. Within this congregation, there are many strict rules – Jehovah’s Witnesses, for example, must not only be active in preaching but also refuse to pursue any career (Sorenson 12). The sect has a responsible attitude towards preaching – each member of the sect fills out a special report card with the hours of preaching.
Jehovah’s Witnesses speak the country’s language in which they preach. The sect has strict rules for the interaction of its members with one another: a woman and a man cannot be alone in a closed room. There are also rules for members who decide to leave the sect – all contact with such a person must be severed. People outside the sect learn about it through Witnesses’ active sermons. At first, it is difficult for people to understand the strict rules that apply within this sect because the members show care and participation to entice as many followers as possible.
There is no art associated with this organization – their distinctive signs are buildings for preaching, disguised as ordinary houses. This sect poses a danger to society, primarily because different age groups, who have different perceptions of the meaning of the sermons, fall under the sect’s influence. The Jehovah’s Witnesses recognize all around them as false and sinful. Ultimately, such activity can lead to the division of society.
