Jehovah's Witnesses, a sect of the Adventist movement, founded in 1872 by Charles Taze Russell, are one of the most unusually strict biblical literalist groups in the world. They are strict in their interpretation of Scripture, because as intentional communities say, like most religious groups, it is an interpretation that depends on the charisma of the biblical character Jesus while looking forward to the "end of days" an era . during which the so-called wicked will be thrown into purgatory and the elect will ascend to heaven, and the righteous will inherit the earth to live in paradise for eternity. Jehovah's Witnesses base their beliefs on a literal interpretation of the Bible citing Revelation 7:1-8 which describes the number of those who would receive God's seal to be his servants. “After this I saw four angels standing in the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. 2Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, bearing the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the earth and the sea, 3 “Do not harm the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we have put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our people.

These ritual rules are intentionally more restrictive, not only adding to liminality, because most people just can't really limit themselves to the oppressive nature of the biblical rule, but also by supporting the community because all those who are accepted into this religious community have demonstrated understanding and respect for these rules, thus demonstrating their direct interest in the community as a whole. , 2000 Journal of Religion and Society volume 8. p. 8, 2006The Bilbe King James VersionWhat does the Bible really teach?
