Instructor: Jim Cox • Human Interest

This presentation will explain who Jehovah’s Witnesses are, together with some of their beliefs and activities. The organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses is different than that of other religions, which usually have a clergy-laity division; Jehovah’s Witnesses have no paid clergy and all of Jehovah’s Witnesses are ordained ministers. There are many misconceptions about Jehovah’s Witnesses, which can usually be corrected with simple explanations. This class is designed to illuminate a religion that is often misunderstood.
