They were, instead, the product of an ideology, what could be aptly described as radical Islamic fundamentalism. ‘ At the core of this ideology is the belief that the contemporary. period represents anew Jahiliyya or the pagan ignorance comparable to. the’conditions of pre-Islamic Arabia.

Islamic fundamentalists favor “a literal and originalist interpretation” of the primary sources of Islam (the Quran, Hadith, and Sunnah), seek to eliminate (what they perceive to be) “corrupting” non-Islamic influences from every part of their lives, and see “Islamic fundamentalism” as a pejorative term used by …

Fundamentalism is different from other religious expressions because it is strict in its literal interpretation of holy scriptures. Fundamentalism is the religiously conservative view that the scriptures are the absolute, incorruptible and inerrant word of God and should be followed as such.

Religious fundamentalists believe in the superiority of their religious teachings, and in a strict division between righteous people and evildoers (Altemeyer and Hunsberger, 1992, 2004). This belief system regulates religious thoughts, but also all conceptions regarding the self, others, and the world.

However, there is significant research that indicates that religious fundamentalism is linked to both increased spiritual well-being and decreased spiritual anxiety.

Evangelicals and fundamentalists both agree that the Bible is inerrant, but fundamentalists tend to read the Bible literally. Evangelicals have a somewhat broader interpretation of who Jesus was. Fundamentalists also add some additional doctrines to their beliefs that many evangelicals would not agree with.

In keeping with traditional Christian doctrines concerning biblical interpretation, the mission of Jesus Christ, and the role of the church in society, fundamentalists affirmed a core of Christian beliefs that included the historical accuracy of the Bible, the imminent and physical Second Coming of Jesus Christ, and …

Fundamentalist Christians regard the words of the Bible as being the true voice of God. For example, when reading the creation story in Genesis , fundamentalists would believe that the world was literally created in seven days.

Abstract. Jehovah’s Witnesses are a Fundamentalist Christian religious group well known for their door-to-door proselytism. As a result of their belief in spreading the word of god and converting others, Jehovah’s Witness populations are growing across the globe.

God. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe God is the Creator and Supreme Being. Witnesses reject the Trinity doctrine, which they consider unscriptural. They view God as the Father, an invisible spirit “person” separate from the Son, Jesus Christ.

As of 2020, Jehovah’s Witnesses reported a monthly average membership of approximately 8.4 million actively involved in preaching, with a peak of 8.7 million. For 2020, about 1.7 billion hours of preaching were reported and nearly 242,000 new members were baptized, with a net decrease of about 47,000.

In addition to medical detoxification and following a healthy diet, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe group therapy sessions can help a person learn to cope emotionally without resorting to alcohol.

JW are allowed to marry outside their faith. I am married to a non-active JW, but it can be very hard at times. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the Bible highly discourages an interfaith marriage 1 Corinthians 7: This is a logical thing, because JW beliefs are very different than Christendom.

Jehovah’s Witnesses do not smoke or use other tobacco products.

Although many young Witnesses do engage in casual recreational sports, the association discourages its members from extensively participating in athletic activities to avoid giving undue importance to sports or recreation. Members are discouraged (but not prohibited) from watching or participating in violent sports.

DIET – Jehovah Witnesses believe it is forbidden to eat blood or blood products. Although meat is usually acceptable, because animals are bled after slaughter, some Jehovah Witnesses may be vegetarian. Patients may wish to pray silently before eating and at other times.

Jehovah’s Witness Jehovah’s Witnesses believe donation is a matter of individual decision. Jehovah’s Witnesses are often assumed to be against donation because of their opposition to blood transfusion. However, this merely means that all blood must be removed from organs and tissues before being transplanted.

Jehovah’s Witnesses refuse blood transfusions, including autologous transfusions in which a person has their own blood stored to be used later in a medical procedure, (though some Witnesses will accept autologous procedures such as dialysis or cell salvage in which their blood is not stored) and the use of packed RBCs …

Jehovah’s Witnesses Nowhere does the Bible explicitly condemn birth control. If a husband and wife choose to use a nonabortive form of contraception to avoid pregnancy, that is their personal decision and responsibility.

Jehovah’s Witnesses’ literature teaches that their refusal of transfusions of whole blood or its four primary components—red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma—is a non-negotiable religious stand and that those who respect life as a gift from God do not try to sustain life by taking in blood, even in an emergency …

Multiple transfusion alternatives have been developed, and many are generally acceptable to a Jehovah’s Witness patient, including tranexamic acid, prothrombin complex concentrate, and fibrin glue.

Although there are no officially published statistics, it is estimated that about 1,000 Jehovah Witnesses die each year through abstaining from blood transfusions(20), with premature deaths(7,8).

Amish The Amish will consent to donation if they know it is for the health and welfare of the transplant recipient. Assembly of God The Church views the decision to donate as an individual choice. Organ and tissue donation is highly supported by the denomination but the decision to donate is up to the individual.

Embalming the body is permitted and is done by a local funeral home, being careful not to apply makeup or making cosmetic corrections. Like the deceased they honor, an Amish funeral is a simple, plain event. The viewing and funeral happens in a family home or barn, depending on the size of the gathering.

No religion forbid this practice. Directed organ donation to people of the same religion has been proposed only by some Orthodox Jews and some Islamic Ulemas/Muftis. Only some Muslim Ulemas/Muftis and some Asian religions may prefer living donation over cadaveric donation.

Amish. However, nothing in the Amish understanding of the Bible forbids them from using modern medical services, including surgery, hospitalization, dental work, anesthesia, blood transfusions or immunization.”

Blood transfusions are generally considered safe, but there is some risk of complications. Mild complications and rarely severe ones can occur during the transfusion or several days or more after. More common reactions include allergic reactions, which might cause hives and itching, and fever.

For instance, consider the comments of Richard Bailey and Tomonori Ariga who, writing in an official capacity in 1998, explained Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society policy to the medical community: “Jehovah’s Witnesses do not accept whole blood, or major components of blood, namely, red blood cells, white blood cells.

MORMON (CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes that the decision to donate is an individual one made in conjunction with family, medical personnel, and prayer. They do not oppose donation.
