Jehovah’s Witnesses are a Christian-based religious group with some distinctive beliefs about God, Jesus, the Bible, and the future. They see themselves as restoring first‑century Christianity and put strong emphasis on door‑to‑door preaching.

Core beliefs about God and Jesus

  • Jehovah’s Witnesses believe there is one God , whose personal name is “Jehovah,” and that using this name is essential to true worship.
  • They reject the Trinity, teaching that Jesus is God’s first creation, the “only‑begotten Son,” through whom all other things were made, but that he is not Almighty God.
  • The holy spirit is viewed as God’s active force, not a person.

Bible, soul, and afterlife

  • They view the Bible as God’s inspired, fully reliable word and use it as the final authority for doctrine and morals.
  • They reject the idea of an immortal soul and of eternal torment in hell, teaching instead that the dead are unconscious, awaiting a resurrection.
  • A limited group of 144,000 faithful Christians will go to heaven, while the majority of obedient humans (the “other sheep”) can live forever on a restored earth.

Salvation and Christian living

  • Salvation, in their view, requires faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice, repentance, baptism, and an obedient lifestyle that includes regular preaching activity.
  • They stress belonging to God’s visible organization and following its teachings as part of being in an approved standing with God.
  • Their moral code is strict: sexual activity is limited to heterosexual marriage, and serious unrepentant wrongdoing can lead to disfellowshipping (shunning).

End times and Armageddon

  • Jehovah’s Witnesses believe the current world system is under Satan’s control and that it will soon end at Armageddon, when God and Jesus will destroy wicked human governments and systems.
  • They teach that Jesus began ruling as heavenly King in 1914, marking the “last days” leading up to that final intervention.
  • After Armageddon, they expect a millennial reign of Christ over a paradise earth, with resurrected humans given the chance to learn and follow God’s ways before a final test.

Practices and community life

  • They are known for door‑to‑door evangelism and for distributing literature like The Watchtower and Awake! as part of their preaching work.
  • They remain politically neutral, refuse military service, and decline blood transfusions based on their interpretation of Scripture.
  • They see their religion as the only true faith, considering other religions part of “Babylon the Great,” a worldwide false religious system.
