Being Too Religious

The opening of this lecture was a little shocking as the lecturer went into prayer directly in front of the microphone and encouraged us to join in. This was uncomfortable for a number of reasons such as there being a number of people belonging to different Religions and also a number of non-believers. There are many different Religions in the world than Christianity;



This action is reminiscent of preachers in the street who force passers-by to listen.
This excessive behaviour may be deemed as unusual as many people prefer not to discuss their religious beliefs in such an open forum unless they are surrounded by others who feel the same way as they do.

This lecture taught me about the two main differences in Religion; them being either high or low involvement. The extent of work which Jehovas Witnesses are expected to suprised me and shows that those following the Religion must be very dedicated to what they do. http://www.watchtower.org/ explains things and answers questions such as 'Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe they are the only ones who will be saved?' and is available in 314 languages showing that this is a popular Religion.
