In The united states in the early 30’s and 40’s in some parts of the United states made it illegal for Jehovah’s Witnesses distribute their literature and the children of Jehovah’s witnesses were banded from attending schools in the state.
The 1930s and 1940s, some US states passed laws that made it illegal for Jehovah 's Witnesses to distribute their literature, and children of Jehovah 's Witnesses in some states were banned from attending state schools. Mob violence against Jehovah 's Witnesses was not uncommon, and some were murdered for their beliefs. Those responsible for these attacks were seldom prosecuted the sources of this discrimination and prejudice came from governments as well as general population.
Despite their different beliefs, the Jehovah’s Witness do believe that according to the bible, they must love their neighbors and show love to one another. So I can understand Jehovah witnesses in a way. Because no matter what happens they continue to help American anyway they can and also do it with all the rules they have. So if they can help American and stick with the rules I appreciate them very much.
