Religious and Ethnic Groups

Religious groups are all similar to each other, but they do have their differences as well. Jehovah’s Witnesses is one that comes to mind when I think of a religious groups that is different. They stand out to me because of things I have seen or read about. Jehovah’s Witnesses will go to people’s home at they want to spread the word about their religion. Jehovah’s Witnesses followers find that going to people’s home is a way to honor their religion. Jehovah’s Witnesses worship God and believe he does not lie and everything that is in the bible will come true. I also know that they do not celebrate any of the holidays such as Easter the way I do with the Easter bunny as that is not what Easter is about. Christmas is the same as they do not believe you should lie and say a gift came from Santa Claus, and birthdays are acknowledge but not celebrated. Jehovah’s Witnesses feel that a celebration should only be about God and not oneself. I tried to become friends with a classmate in high school as she seemed very nice, but did not have any friends, but we never got close as friends. A few years after high school I ran into her as she began to work where I was at. We recognized each other and became very good friends. Later I realized that the reason we did not become close in high school was because she was a Jehovah’s Witnesses and said she was not allowed to associate herself with anyone that did not follow that religion.
