Conclusion

Universalizing or Ethnic Religion?

Pattern of Diffusion

It spread through contagious/ and or hierarchal diffusion, mostly through the magazines "The Watchtower or Awake!" The Jehovah’s Witnesses also spread their idea’s through door to door preaching. They often go to people’s houses to tell them about what they have been taught in church.

Universalizing ,

  • The religion is worshipped all over , but it is the person's choice to whether they stay in the religion.
  • BUT if they decide to leave, they are shunned from all Jehovah Witness Religion activities and houses of worships
