A Jehovah's Witness is a member of a
religious organization originating in the USA
1872 under Charles Taze Russell (1852-1916).
Jehovah's Witnesses attach great importance
to Christ's second coming, which Russell
predicted would occur in 1914, and which
Witnesses still believe is imminent. All
Witnesses are expected to take part in
house-to-house preaching, there are no
clergy. Witnesses believe that after the
second coming the ensuing Armageddon and Last
Judgment, which entail the destruction of all
except the faithful, are to give way to the
Theocratic Kingdom.
