The doctrine of the sect is based on the ideas completely open to the interpretation, the addition of a false translation of the Bible. It is still modified, altered and adapted to the needs of the leadership of the sect. Its adherents reject the

dogma of the Trinity, the immortality of the soul, do not recognize the cult of Mary as Mother of God, reject sacraments (except

baptism) .The Watch Tower software isolates its followers from the society.

Here are some of the damned activities among Jehovah's Witnesses (collected on the basis of the relationship of ex-members

of the organization), and the reasons for their omission: Birthday celebration (because of idolatry), raising toasts (the worship of

false gods), participation in elections (interference in the affairs of the world ), the activities of youth associations (waste of time), to

apply for political office - even at municipal level (contamination by the world), movies (sinful influence, lost time, which can be

devoted to preaching), visit a psychiatrist or psychologist (risk of confusion), participation in extracurricular activities (waste of time

devoted to the proclamation), studies at the university - some strictly forbidden lines (global company, a waste of time), playing

chess, checkers, cards, etc. (military character), reading books and publications of other religions (clutters the mind), the interest in

celebrities and their philosophy (people worship, unbiblical values), to organize meetings of youth (sexual temptation), friends with

people outside your organization (global company).
