Since nothing too exciting is going on in my life right now I thought I'd share a few random facts about the group Jehovah's Witnessess which I'm doing a research paper on for school. You might be amazed at some of these strange practices, and you'll realize that this group isn't Christian at all as they lead you to believe.

*No Witnesses are allowed to celebrate birthdays or holidays because they are believed to be pagan practices.

*Witnesses are not allowed to have blood transfusions, even if their life or the life of one of their family members is on the line.

*Witnessess state that Jesus is equal to Adam and that He did not become the savior until his baptism.

*Witnessess can not celebrate mothers or fathers day. They are afraid it will produce pride.

*Witnessess believe that churches are of Satan and that you should never enter a church service.

*Before becoming baptized as a witness you must answer 80 questions before a panel of elders.

*You are not saved by grace but by good works

*You are forbidden to say God Bless You when someone sneezes.

*Witnesses claim Jesus' second coming took place in 1914 and was known only to Jehovah's Witnessess. They also state that at this time Jesus threw all the demons from heaven down to earth which is supposedly why the earth seems to be becoming more evil as time goes on.



There are many more of these strange beliefs practiced by this group, but if I went into all of them it would probably take a considerable amount of time. Thus I'll close on a lighter note. A good old blonde joke.


BLONDE ON THE SUN A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day. The Russian said, "We were the first in space!" The American said, "We were the first on the moon!" The Blonde said, "So what? We're going to be the first on the sun!" The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their heads. "You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll burn up!" said the Russian. To which the Blonde replied, "We're not stupid, you know. We're going at night!"
