Jehovah's Witnesses

Kingdom Hall congregation

Jehovah's Witnesses are members of a Christian denomination known for door-to-door evangelism, refusal of military service and blood transfusions, and expectation of an imminent apocalypse.

They use "Jehovah" as God's name and publish *The Watchtower*.

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