A week in Berlin - and where to go, people with name tags that are constantly monitored in every possible language in the world " stands. Now Vigilance is a virtue, claiming that some of my friends for himself: and yet I was initially unclear why all these people should wake up constantly and this even with name tags.
When my iPhone could be in Berlin to receive data (orange I was initially prevented from being able to produce abroad compounds), Google gave me insight: The Jehovah's Witnesses have or had rented the biggest stadiums in Germany to attend a Congress to do, what do Jehovah's Witnesses.
And when Google was at it, I explain the world, I could also read the same, what to do for so, these witnesses, and why the need to constantly monitor (especially I obviously yes to 13% believe the same as Jehovah's Witnesses). While one might expect considering the missonarischen activities of these people that it was a classic cult, the people seem on the other face to be of general prejudice, which make their lives harder than necessary, at least in Germany, where it seems quite a few of them There.
Jehovah's Witnesses - more than can be said objectively - have the same problem as a lot of religious groups: you can not read the Bible as a historical and a literary work, but derived from cryptic passages bids or reality descriptions from , which is absolute validity claim. Problems are in particular three of them:
- that blood transfusions violate a commandment of God (. Namely the here, Gen. 9, 4)
- that mission an order for devout Christians
- had that was close to the Armageddon, the apocalypse ( or the Last Judgement) and then just 144,000 people be saved (which is problematic because the Jehovah's Witnesses this doomsday prophecy many times have what is for PR reasons, always fraught with difficulties). To this theory is interesting that the elect of God, and have to later take over government functions or dürfen, offenbar national verteilt sind, denn in Kanada, so der Schluss dieses FAZ-Artikels , gebe es noch recht viel Platz. Natürlich können nur Zeugen Jehovas gerettet werden. Jährlich werden aber offenbar ca. 290'000 neue Zeugen getauft, weltweit gibt es rund 50 mal mehr gläubige Zeugen Jehovas, als gerettet werden können. Als Gott die Bibel geschrieben hat, hat er wohl einfach irgendwie nicht an Bevölkerungswachstum gedacht.
