No, the Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian denomination. They share a common root however because the Jehovah's Witnesses view Jesus as their Savior and Jesus was born on earth as a Jew.

Both Jews and Jehovah's Witnesses were bitterly persecuted during the 2nd World War under Hitler's regime. The Jews because of their ethnicity and the Jehovah's Witnesses because they refused to cooperate with the Nazis.

No

The Jewish religion is based on the first covenant between God and humanity that stretches from the time of Abraham through the time of Moses, the development of the Jewish nation and the promise of the coming of the Messiah. Modern day Jews still await the Messiah as they do not recognise Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah.

Christians, on the other hand, see in Jesus Christ a new covenant between God and humanity, that supercedes the old one. and recognise in Jesus God made human as prophesised on the Old Testament (the Hebrew scriptures) and therefore recognise Jesus as God incarnate and the awaited Messiah, although Jesus fulfils a different role as Messiah than the Jews expected. They expected a warrior Messiah who would restore the Jewish people and save them from their enemies. However, in Jesus, we see, because of his divinity, the Saviour of all people who accept him as their Lord, past and future, rather than just the Jewish nation.

Jehovah's Witnesses, however, do not fit in with either group. They are certainly not Jews although they do follow some Jewish customs such as not eating meat that has not been well drained of blood. However, neither can they be called Christian in the true, Biblical sense, as they follow a discredited belief declared as a heresy even in the early Church where they refuse to accept Jesus as God incarnate and as Lord. So, while Jehovah's Witnesses are not Jewish, neither are they orthodox Christians either, but rather fall into their own category of a sect that declares themselves to be Christian but are not regarded as such by the Christian church because of their unorthodox beliefs, and are nearer to a sect, or even a cult, than a Christian denomination.

Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus was a Jew. The gospel accounts record his spiritual upbringing, his life as a faithful Jew who observed the Mosaic Law, and how he went to the synagogue regularly.

Jesus' lineage was detailed in two Bible accounts, showing his lineage to King David and ultimately Abraham. (Matthew Chapter One & Luke Chapter three).

If you have twenty elderly christians in one room a new persons comes to the centre and is a Jehovahs witness how do we intergrate the new person without offending the other 20 or so people who have b?

I grew up as a Jehovahs witness and I always felt worse when people made a huge deal in making thing separate. All people are different in their beliefs and some are more strict then others, but in general Jehovahs witnesses are kind and will resectfully back away if there is anything that they feel uncomfortable with. Just talk to the person, I am sure they will let you know how they feel, and where they draw the line. For the most part though they will not take part of any holiday events and if they have been practiceing long they will be use to not being involved.

Are Jehovahs witnesses tell the truth about god?

Probably not, the vast majority of Jehovah's Witnesses are very sincere. Their publications discourage lying and dishonesty of every kind. However without submitting all 7 million members to a lie detector test it would be impossible to say with absolute accuracy, any more than we could know about the accuracy of any other Christian faith.
