7. Why Do Jehovah‟s Witnesses Go
From Door to Door?
• Jesus told his followers to “make disciples of people of all the nations.”
(Matthew 28:19, 20) When he sent out his early disciples, Jesus directed
them to go to the homes of the people. (Matthew 10:7, 11-13) After Jesus‟
death, first-century Christians continued to spread their message both
“publicly and from house to house.”
8. Why Use the Name Jehovah‟s
Witnesses?
• Jehovah is the personal name of God, as
found in the Bible. (Exodus 6:3; Psalm
83:18) A witness is a person who
proclaims views or truths of which he is
convinced.
• Thus, our name Jehovah‟s Witnesses
designates us as a group of Christians
who proclaim the truth about Jehovah, the
Creator of all things.
10. Who was their founder ?
• The modern-day organization of Jehovah‟s Witnesses began at the end of the 19th
century. At that time, a small group of Bible students who lived near Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, in the United States, began a systematic analysis of the Bible.
• Among that group of sincere Bible students was a man named Charles Taze Russell.
While Russell took the lead in the Bible education work at that time and was the first
editor of The Watchtower, he was not the founder of a new religion.
• Since Jesus is the Founder of Christianity, they view him as the founder of their
organization.
11. Do You Feel That You Are the
Only People Who Will Be Saved?
• No. Many millions who lived in centuries past
and who weren‟t Jehovah‟s Witnesses will
have an opportunity for salvation. The Bible
explains that in God‟s promised new world,
“there is going to be a resurrection of both the
righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15)
Additionally, many now living may yet begin
to serve God, and they too will gain salvation.
In any case, it‟s not our job to judge who will
or won‟t be saved. That assignment rests
squarely in Jesus‟ hands.—John 5:22, 27.
