330 .. $a "What would happen if I accepted an invitation to Bible Study from Jehovah's Witnesses?
What would attending a Kingdom Hall meeting involve? And if I invited door-knocking
Witnesses into my home? This book introduces Jehovah's Witnesses without assuming
prior knowledge of the Watch Tower organisation. After outlining the Society's origins
and history, the book explains their key beliefs and practices by taking the reader
through the process of the seeker who makes initial contact with Witnesses, and progresses
to take instruction and become a baptised member. The book then explores what is involved
in being a Witness - congregational life, lifestyle, rites of passage, their understanding
of the Bible, and prophetic expectations. It examines the various processes and consequences
of leaving the organisation, controversies which have arisen in the course of its
history, and popular criticisms. Discussion is given to the likelihood of reforms
within the organisation, such as its stance on blood transfusions, the role of women,
and new methods of meeting and evangelising in response to the COVID-19 pandemic"
