Odd Question

-When did the Jehovah's Witnesses start preaching about Global Warming?

... I originally accidentally spelt that as 'Jenova's Witnesses'. *facepalm* Curse you VGCats!

Also, is Barmaids worth going to?

Jehovah's Witnesses interpret some passages of the bible as saying that the duty of mankind is to be caretakers of the earth, and so often are critical of practices that cause pollution, or add to global warming.

Their preferred translation of the bible does have some differences from the most commonly used translations, the biggest differences are the lack of archaic words, and the substitution of "Jehovah" for the terms "Lord" and "God" in many passages. They are passionate about their belief that all people are brothers and sisters in the eyes of God.

Many of their beliefs are much like those of the Anabaptists in Europe during the Reformation. The Quakers, and Puritains were two of the more famous branches of Anabaptists. Like the Anabaptists, the JW's belive that all members of their congrigations should consider themselves as ministers, and that a church shouldn't ever get involved with the state. Also, they refuse to serve in any country's millitary, in some countries, they have been imprisioned, or even killed for this.

I sure that this is propably more than you wanted to know, but oddly enough I just recently had a conversation about JW's and Anabaptists. The Quakers, and Puritains were two of the more famous branches of Anabaptists.
