  pity they've decided to go with subtitles in CAPITALS on this new version, though the voice over is in English and original English interviews have been kept
  

  But, it's just a rehash of this? yes?

  "Jehovah's Witnesses" : A religion - or a denomination of a religion?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "a christian denomination is a generic term for a distinct religious body identified by traits such as a common name, structure, leadership and doctrine.

  individual bodies, however, may use alternative terms to describe themselves, such as church or fellowship.

  Hi sir82!
  

  There was a "Questions From Readers" in the late 40's or early 50's, something about whether JWs are to be considered a "religion".
  

  Is it these two Questions from Readers from 1951?
  

  "In the past we regarded 'religion' as anything that was against God’s will. Now many brothers are using the expressions 'true religion' and 'false religion' to make a distinction. Is this advisable?"

  Link to scan
  

  Which was followed five months later by:

  "Why has the Watchtower Society suddenly approved the use of the word 'religion' relative to the worship of Jehovah’s witnesses?"
