OTHERS: Jehovah’s Witnesses

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 

Ephesians 4:14

Jehovah’s Witnesses are hard to pin down on the Godhead. Some accuse them of being Unitarian but also are claimed to be semi-Arian binitarian with a twist on the Divinity of Christ---that He was just human in flesh on earth and will be divine in the next world as His reward for representing the Father Jehovah on earth.

They believe Christ wasn't crucified on a cross but rather on a stake and did not physically rise from the dead but His spirit did,

They believe that the 2nd coming was spiritual and happened in 1914. they also believe only 144,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses who will be saved and live in Heaven. Other people judged to be good will live on a remade earth.

Also, the founder of the Religion, Charles Tazewell Russell, used measurements of the Giza Pyramids in calculating Bible Prophecies (Using their measurements as a day for a year in Prophecy).

They wrote their own edited version of the Bible in the 1940's to reinforce their views on the Godhead. They are tightly controlled on what they can read by the "Brooklyn Brethren".

They do not celebrate holidays or say the Pledge of Allegiance.

Many of their peculiar beliefs, including no blood transfusions, came from Church President Joseph Rutherford in the 1920's.
