Where is Jehovah's Witnesses' Cultural Hearth?

Answer 1

By "cultural hearth," I am assuming you mean the center from which our manner of conduct and standards are derived. If that is the case, our cultural hearth is The Bible. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God, and instead of adhering to a creed based on human tradition, we hold to the Bible as the standard for all our beliefs. It is also sets the standard for our conduct, and therefore, our culture. This is not to say that we do not have our own individual cultures. Jehovah's Witnesses are a truly worldwide organization, and so depending on where a person lives, they may dress according to the culture of their society, eat according to that same culture, appreciate music and dance according to that culture, and have certain customs of that culture. But, as far as our beliefs, manner of conduct, and standards are concerned, Jehovah's Witnesses use the Bible as our guide. For further reading click on RELATED LINKS(below)
