How many wives can Jehovahs Witnesses have?
Jehovahs Witnesses adhere to the Bibles view of marriage and divorce. Monogamy between one man and one woman and sex only within marriage are requirements in the Witness religion. But Witnesses do permit divorce in certain cases, believing that the only valid ground for divorce and remarriage is adultery.
Can a Jehovah Witness drink alcohol?
Diet. Jehovahs Witnesses reject foods containing blood but have no other special dietary requirements. Some Jehovahs Witnesses may be vegetarian and others may abstain from alcohol, but this is a personal choice. Jehovahs Witnesses do not smoke or use other tobacco products.
Can Jehovah Witnesses be friends with non Jehovah Witnesses?
No. Strictly speaking, there is no rule or command that forbids Jehovahs Witnesses to have non-Witness friends. However, having close relationships with worldly people (as all non-Witnesses are called) is very strongly discouraged. Being friends with non-JW is equated with disobeying God.
What can a Jehovah Witness not do?
Jehovahs Witnesses do not observe holidays they believe to have pagan origins, such as Christmas, Easter, and birthdays. They do not salute the national flag or sing the national anthem, and they refuse military service. They also refuse blood transfusions, even those that could be life saving.
