When did Jehovah's Witnesses start and by whom Christ or a man?
There were Witnesses of Jehovah God long before Jesus was on earth. Really, anyone who serves Jehovah God, is 'by-nature' one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Actually, in the Bible, Able is listed as the first Witness of Jehovah God.Even Jesus is called in Revelation as 'a faithful witness'. Therefore Jesus was also a Witness of Jehovah God.Answer: No human started Jehovah's Witnesses. Not even Jesus started it on earth. I suppose that really Jehovah God himself started it, by CREATING Humans to BE HIS WITNESSES. Jehovah didn't want Adam & Eve to be witnesses of his adversary, Satan.If you are just limiting your question to modern times - - - well, the name 'Jehovah's Witnesses, was available for anyone before 1931. But no one wanted anything to do with that name 'Jehovah'. They had all been taught to worship his son, Jesus. For many people, just the word 'Jehovah' is an aversion (meaning it makes their stomach crawl).But there was a group that called themselves 'Bible Students'. They saw that many Bible translations deleted God's personal name from their Bibles. This bothered them. So in 1931 they drew up a Resolution; and determined to being called by what they really already were, Witnesses of Jehovah God. To shorten it up, they called themselves: Jehovah's Witnesses.

Why do enlighten rulers praise Jehovah's Witnesses?
Simply put, Jehovah's Witnesses around the world obey the law's of the nation in which they live. They are peaceful and love people. Therefore, world rulers are happy to give them praise.Nobody can really know why an "enlightened ruler" would praise the Jehovah's Witnesses, but the main point is that Jehovah's Witnesses never have and never will endorse any form of human government. The only form of government that Jehovah's Witnesses look forward to is actually the end of human government, and the establishment of Jehovah's rule here on earth through his son, Christ Jesus. The Jehovah's Witnesses call this future rule the purest and most true Theocracy.Perhaps you could give details of which specific rulers you mean, before an attempt is made on 'why'.
Are Jehovah witness and Pentelcostal similar?
Not really.Jehovah's Witnesses are 'night and day' difference from EVERYONE else.There is a chasm between us and other religions, greater than the chasm across the Grand Canyon. You just can't cross it. No ties, no similarities WHAT-SO-EVER.Examples:Penticostals worship a god who 'eternally torments' in a fiery hell (did I say: eternally?) Jehovah's Witnesses worship a different God. We worship a God of LOVE, COMPASSION; a God who is Kindly, merciful, forgiving. Our God would NEVER in a billion years allow such a place anywhere in his Universe. Big difference.Penticostals worship Jesus, the son of Jehovah God. Jehovah's Witnesses worship the God they are named after; namely: Jehovah God, the Father of Jesus. Big difference.Penticostals picture their god as a 'triune' god, following some of the ancient 'human creeds'. Jehovah's Witnesses teach what the Bible teaches about God. That Jehovah is the Creator, the Almighty, the Father. That Jesus is his only begotten 'Son'; that Jesus worshiped his Father, Jehovah God. And that the holy spirit is really NOT another PERSONAGE; but rather, the holy spirit is God's 'active FORCE'. Big difference.Penticostals are content with gathering when their 'church bells' ring. Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT content with just gathering among themselves. We feel it is 'selfish' to focus on simply your own salvation. Therefore Jehovah's Witnesses are the only religion that regularly visit their neighbors and strangers; and ring 'door bells', right at their own homes to help them -- 1) learn what Jehovah requires of people; and -- 2) to help them align themselves with Jehovah's requirements. Big difference.Penticostals are willing to listen and obey human governments when they prepare their military ventures, involving themselves in the killings of wartime. Jehovah's Witnesses listen and obey Jehovah God and Christ Jesus by REFUSING to take up arms of any sort. We avoid such bloodshed, and the misery it brings both to the slaughtered ones, and the sad effects on the soldiers themselves, and their families. Big difference.The list could go ON - & - ON.

How have Jehovah Witnesses fared legally when appealing to the ECHR for a Government violating their religious rights?
Jehovah's Witnesses have often had their rights violated by various Governments or their various entities. Jehovah's Witnesses have appealed to the Court Systems to protect their rights; even taking matters to the Supreme Court; to the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC); and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Of the 49 cases involving Jehovah's Witnesses that have been heard by the ECHR, we have won all except 2 cases. But then in 2011, one of the cases we lost, was overturned by it's Grand Chamber of 17 judges; with a vote of 16 to 1 in favor of Jehovah's Witnesses. All of the cases brought before such legal entities by Jehovah's Witnesses have helped refine and establish the human and legal rights of all peoples. This is a contribution to the welfare of all earth's citizens.

What is the root of Jehovahs witnesses?
The root of Jehovah's Witnesses is Jehovah God, The Almighty, The Creator. That's why the name: 'Jehovah's' Witnesses. The apostrophe 's' means 'belonging to'. We belong to Jehovah God. We witness for Jehovah God, and about Jehovah God. We have no clergy / laity distinction among us; thus no paid clergy. We do not give reverential honor to any human; not calling anyone 'Reverend, Pastor, Father,' etc. We do not even worship Christ Jesus. We worship only Jehovah God. This is all quite different from other religions who are named after other people and other things; ie Lutherans are named after Luther (a human); Baptists are named after John the Baptist (a human); Penticostals are named after an 'event' (Penticost); Seventh Day Adventists are named after another event (the Sabbath every 7 days); etc etc. To use the questioner's illustration of 'the root': Christ Jesus I would say is the 'trunk'. And then there are all the various branches, twigs, and leaves. We help distribute spiritual 'fruit' to others; We help to provide spiritual 'greenery' and shade for others. (Psalm 1:3)
