Jehovah's Witness

Watchtower magazine distributors

A Jehovah's Witness is a member of a Christian denomination known for door-to-door evangelism, refusing blood transfusions, and abstaining from military service and political participation.

Witnesses believe Armageddon is imminent and that only 144,000 will enter heaven, while other faithful will live eternally on a paradise Earth.

They use Jehovah as God's name and reject the Trinity doctrine.

Two Jehovah's Witnesses came to the door this morning.
