Jehovah's Witnesses (Christian sects, Christianity, ... Associated Concepts (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Christian sect originally founded by Charles Taze Russell in the late 19th century. Russell's successor, Joseph Franklin Rutherford, adopted the name Jehovah's Witness in 1931. The sect believes that Jehovah (Yahweh) is the true God, and that Jesus Christ is the son of God. The sect's goal is to establish what they consider to be God's Kingdom, which they believe will emerge following an apocalyptic Armageddon. Generally, Jehovah's Witnesses have no association with other denominations, and shun secular governments. They do not vote, celebrate religious or national holidays, and members refuse military service. Members engage in door-to-door proselytizing, selling their publications, "The Watchtower" and "Awake!", which is published in 80 languages.

Additional Notes: |

| Chinese (traditional) ..... 由查爾斯•泰玆•羅素(Charles Taze Russell)於十九世紀末創立的基督教教派。繼任者約瑟夫•富蘭克林•盧瑟福(Joseph Franklin Rutherford)於西元1931年採用「耶和華見證人」為教派名。此教派相信耶和華是真神，耶穌基督則是神的兒子。此教派的目標為建立他們認為的神之國度，且相信神之國度會在天啟之世界末日(apocalyptic Armageddon)後出現。一般來說，耶和華見證人與其他教派並無關聯，並閃避世俗政府。他們不投票、不慶祝宗教節日或國定假日，教派成員拒絕任軍職。教派成員會挨家挨戶傳道、銷售以八十種語言出版的《守望台(The Watchtower)》及《警醒！(Awake!)》。 |
| Dutch ..... Christelijke sekte die is gesticht door Charles Taze Russell, aan het eind van de 19de eeuw. Russells opvolger Joseph Franklin Rutherford koos in 1931 voor de naam 'Jehova's getuige'. De sekteleden geloven dat Jehova (Jahweh) de ware God is en dat Jezus Christus de zoon van God is. Doel van de sekte is het stichten van wat zij beschouwen als het Koninkrijk Gods, dat volgens hun overtuiging zal ontstaan na de Apocalyps van het Armageddon. Doorgaans onderhouden Jehovagetuigen geen banden met geloofsrichtingen, en zij aanvaarden geen aardse autoriteit. Ze stemmen niet en vieren evenmin religieuze hoogtijdagen of nationale feestdagen, en de leden zijn principiële dienstweigeraars. Ze gaan van deur tot deur om hun geloof te verkondigen en hun publicaties 'De Wachttoren' en 'Ontwaak!' aan de man te brengen. Deze publicaties verschijnen in 80 talen. |
| Spanish ..... Movimiento cristiano fundado originalmente por Charles Taze Russell en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX d.C. Con el sucesor de Russells, Joseph Franklin Rutherford, adoptaron el nombre de Testigos de Jehová en 1931. Ellos creen que Jehová (Yahvé) es el verdadero Dios, y Jesucristo es el hijo de Dios. La meta de este movimiento (secta) es establecer lo que consideran ser el Reino de Dios, que creen emergerá luego de la Apocalipsis (fin del mundo) Generalmente, los Testigos de Jehová no están asociados a la confesión, y rechazan los gobiernos seculares. Ellos no votan, no celebran fiestas religiosas ni feriados nacionales, y sus miembros rechazan el servicio militar. Loa miembros recorren puerta a puerta predicando y vendiendo sus publicaciones, "La Atalaya" y "!Despertad!", que es publicada en 80 idiomas. |
