Abstract
Jehovah’S Witnesses are deeply religious people who try to live their lives according to the commands of God, as written in the Old and New Testaments. They believe that the Kingdom of God will soon be experienced on earth. At that time God will resurrect many former inhabitants on earth, and a number who are so destined will rule in heaven with Christ. Although Jehovah’s Witnesses have no belief in the Trinity, they do regard Jesus Christ as the Son of God and declare themselves to be Christians.
