celebrities and businessmen.

that Christ will come in 1874, and begin his reign on Earth. For the year
1914 announced the end of the world. This date was moved several times.
The doctrine of the sect is based on the ideas completely open to the
interpretation, the addition of a false translation of the Bible. It is still
modified, altered and adapted to the needs of the leadership of the
sect. Its adherents reject the dogma of the Trinity, the immortality of
the soul, do not recognize the cult of Mary as Mother of God, reject
sacraments (except baptism) .
The Watch Tower software isolates its followers from the society. Here
are some of the damned activities among Jehovah's Witnesses
(collected on the basis of the relationship of ex-members of the
organization), and the reasons for their omission: Birthday celebration
(because of idolatry), raising toasts (the worship of false gods),
participation in elections (interference in the affairs of the world ), the
activities of youth associations (waste of time), to apply for political
office - even at municipal level (contamination by the world), movies
(sinful influence, lost time, which can be devoted to preaching), visit a
psychiatrist or psychologist (risk of confusion), participation in
extracurricular activities (waste of time devoted to the proclamation),
studies at the university - some strictly forbidden lines (global company,
a waste of time), playing chess, checkers, cards, etc. (military
character), reading books and publications of other religions (clutters
the mind), the interest in celebrities and their philosophy (people
worship, unbiblical values), to organize meetings of youth (sexual
temptation), friends with people outside your organization (global
company).
