Jehovahs Witnesses Paranormal Belief

Jehovahs Witnesses Paranormal Belief is basically that of Christian paranormal belief. In the Christian bible as a part of christian paranormal belief it is stated, that is forbidden that believers attempt contact with malevolent spirits that pretend to be spirits of the dead, as stated in Deuteronomy 18:11 and that the dead should not have contact with the living as stated in Luke 16:19-31.

Jehovahs Witnesses paranormal belief is this contact results in contact with spirits that are not of the dead but malevolent spirits which are deceitful and pretending to be such and as such are commanded by Satan and are named as demons, evil spirits and unclean spirits.

Jehovahs Witnesses paranormal belief is these spirits are familiar with the recent dead and is the reason why they have knowledge with intimate name details, places, situations and circumstances. In the bible this is referred to as a familiar spirit, Isaiah 29:4.

It is believed by Christians that the plan of demon spirits to become interested in all that they do especially the wonders they seem to b e able to perform and thus affect people and move them away from their relationship with God.

Often those interested in the paranormal including ghosts and end up experimenting with other activities such as Ouija boards, tarot cards, astrology, fortune telling etc. The search for spirituality often results in delving deeper into the occult which results in an ever increasing downward slope into the occult.

As stated in the bible it is believed that Satan will have then "blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." (2 Cor. 4:4).

Jehovahs Witnesses paranormal belief is a belief in God and in the Devil and believe that God is stronger than the Devil.

Christians believe in the rite of exorcism to rid those possessed by evil spirits of said evil spirits This rite must be performed by an ordained priest who is specially trained for this purpose.

God created everything that is perfect, and anything that Satan created is not perfect. It is quite clear then that sin itself would have been created by Satan, and not God, it is also then quite clear that God can do anything-God is perfection. God is love.

Satan is not.

The Jehovahs Witnesses Religion is faith based on the principles of restoration, millennium and Christian which involve themselves in evangelism. They claim 7 million adherents, convention attendance of 12 million and an annual memorial attendance of 17 million.

They have a governing body, a group of elders which has authority on all doctrinal matters, based on their interpretation of the bible. Their own translation of the bible the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures takes precedence over the Bible.

The faith originated in the late 19th century emerging from a Bible Student Movement under the direction of Charles Taze Russell with the creation of Zion’s Watch Tower Tract Society. After a disagreement the movement splintered with the main group becoming known as the Jehovahs Witnesses Religion in 1931.

Since its start, the Watch Tower Society has taught that humans are now living in the last days of the present world order. They believe that after the current world order is destroyed at Armageddon, surviving righteous Jehovah's Witnesses and resurrected individuals will have the opportunity to live forever in an earthly paradise, ruled by Christ and 144,000 humans will be raised to heaven.

In the years leading up to 1914, 1925 and 1975, the Society's publications expressed strong expectations of Armageddon or the establishment of Christ's kingdom over the earth occurring in those years. The Watch Tower Society now teaches that it is impossible to know precisely when Armageddon will occur, but that it is imminent.

Jehovahs Witnesses Religion members are best known for their door-to-door preaching, distribution of literature such as The Watchtower and Awake!, and for their refusal of military service and blood transfusions even in life-threatening situations.

They consider use of the name Jehovah vital to proper worship and they reject the trinity, immortality of the soul, and hellfire, because they consider them to be unscriptural doctrines. They do not observe celebrations such as Christmas, Easter or birthdays, which they believe to have pagan origins, or national holidays, such as Independence Day and Thanksgiving Day.
