    In modern Greek, Jehovah's Witnesses are known as "Μαρτύρων του Ιεχωβά", basically 'Martyrs of Jehovah'.

    Great info. Isn't Jehovah's organization great!!! And Great to be a part of this worldwide organization in over 230 lands world wide. We are one with Jesus Chirst and Jehovah just as Jesus Christ is at one with Jehovah.

    This doesn't make us a part of the false doctrine, trinity!!!

    Actually they do like to violate Peoples privacy.. really don't know why they just don't stick within their own groups.. As far as Jesus is concerned they have not ideal what His teachings mean...Judge and ye shalt not be judged....
