Jehovah's Witnesses is a millenarian restorationist Christian denomination with nontrinitarian beliefs distinctive from mainstream Christianity. According to August 2014 business data published in the 2015 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses, worldwide subscription exceeded 8.2 million adherents involved in ministration, convention attendance exceeded 15 million, and yearly Memorial attendance exceeded 19.9 million. Creator's Witnesses are routed by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, a group of seniors in Brooklyn, New York, which establishes all doctrines based on its analyses of the Bible; they prefer to utilize their very own translation, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. They think that the devastation of the here and now world system at Armageddon is imminent, and that the establishment of God's kingdom over the planet is the only remedy for all problems faced by humanity.
Many situations entailing Jehovah's Witnesses have been heard by Supreme Courts throughout the world. The instances usually relate to their right to exercise their religion, display screens of nationalism and tactical service, and blood transfusions.
In the United States, their persistent legal challenges prompted a series of state and federal court judgments that enhanced judicial protections for civil liberties. Amongst the rights built up by Witness court victories in the United States are the security of religious conduct from government and state disturbance, the right to abstain from patriotic routines and tactical service, the right of people to refuse medical treatment, and the right to interact in public conversation.
