This text examines the historic tensions between Jehovah's Witnesses and government
authorities, civic organisations, established churches, and the broader public. Witnesses
originated in the 1870s as small, loose-knit groups calling themselves 'Bible Students'.
Today, there are some eight million witnesses worldwide, all actively engaged in evangelism
under the direction of the Watch Tower Society. The author analyses issues that have
brought them global visibility and even notoriety, including political neutrality,
public ministry, blood transfusion, and anti-ecumenism
