The founder of Jehovah's Witnesses is Charles Taze Russell. The faith is simple and is derived from Orthodox Christianity. This faith is led by the Watchtower Society, whose headquarter is in Brooklyn, New York. They believe in Almighty God, whom they refer to as Jehovah. They believe that Christ is God's son and is inferior to him. There will be a kingdom under Christ, and he will rule it in peace. They believe that the Earth as we know it today will be changed after the battle of Armageddon. At the end of everything, the wicked people will be destroyed, the good people will live on Earth, and 144,000 people will go to heaven (Fama 1).

In 1884, Russell founded the Watchtower Society. This was the early name for Jehovah's Witnesses. This society is what leads and governs the religion. The Society believes that they are the sole channel between God and humani

The role of Christ in this religion is quite large. They believe that Christ is the Son of God and inferior to him, and that Christ was first of God's creations. They also believe that Christ's human life was paid as ransom for obedient humans. They say that Jesus inspected their organization in 1919 and found a "faithful and discreet slave class, dispensing fine spiritual food to true believers" (Fama 1). Right now they believe that Christ is present, but in the form of a spirit. According to the witnesses Christ's kingdom is here but invisible to all. A lot of what they believe about life after death has to do with him. They believe that his death, being sacrificed, saved humanity and this sacrifice is what is letting humanity survive today (Fama 1). Although they do not believe that Jesus has died on a cross, but rather he died on a stake. This is why it is prohibited for them to wear or own a cross because it goes against what they believe about Jesus dying on a stake.

Their lifestyle is led to be simple. They cannot have "worldly association," in other words do anything that is not a part of their religion. They can not attend class reunions, become cheerleaders, girl scouts, public officers, go to war all this and more deal with "worldly association." The followers cannot even go to college because, according to them, there is no need for it. People only go to get a degree to make more money and that reflects back upon a simple life and not needing money. One thing in particular that they are very strong about is talking to ex-members. Ex-members are to be shunned and not spoken to even family members. If someone's daughter leaves the society, her siblings, parents, and everyone else that is a Jehovah's Witness would shun her (Shaun 1). They also are against donating and receiving blood:
