Jehovah's Witnesses believe in following infallible Bible

Jehovah's Witnesses are members of a worldwide Christian religion who actively share with others their information about God — Jehovah — and about his son, Jesus Christ.

In addition to drawing one closer to God, church members believe living Bible principles gives purpose to life and promotes strong family ties, as well as creates productive and honest people.

Jehovah's Witnesses also promote the word through "The Watchtower" magazine and other publications. They actively meet and talk to others about their Christian beliefs — going door-to-door or starting up conversations on the street.

• The Bible: It is God's infallible, inspired word and the basis of all beliefs. Some portions of the Bible are to be understood figuratively, or symbolically (2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Revelation 1:1). They use the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.

• God: Jehovah is the name of the only true God, the creator of all things. As such, he is worthy of worship and devotion. His outstanding qualities are love, justice, wisdom and power. (Psalm 83:18, 1 John 4:8 and Revelation 4:11).

• Jesus: He is the son of God. He came to earth from heaven and gave his perfect human life as a ransom sacrifice. His death and resurrection made salvation to eternal life possible for those exercising faith in him. He is now ruling as King of God's heavenly kingdom, which will soon bring justice to the entire earth. Jesus never claimed equality with God and thus is not part of a Trinity. (John 3:16, 14:28 and Revelation 11:15).

• Interaction with society: Jehovah's Witnesses are found at all levels of society. They do not physically separate themselves from those who do not share their beliefs. They live, work and go to school with people of different religious beliefs and enjoy cordial relationships with them. Jehovah's Witnesses follow Jesus' example of being "no part of the world" by avoiding un-Christian prejudices and controversies that divide mankind today. Although not ascetics, they avoid being excessive in the pursuit of wealth, pleasure or prominence." (John 17:15, 16:1 and 1 John 2:15-16).
