Deadly shooting in Germany puts Jehovah's Witnesses in spotlight | Explainer | Oneindia News

Yesterday, a gunman in Germany shot dead six people before turning the gun onto himself at a Jehovah's Witness worship hall in Hamburg.

Four men, one woman and an unborn child were killed in this sudden attack.

The shooter was identified as a disgruntled member of JW i.e the Jehovah's Witnesses.

This incident has brought this rather mysterious and little-known international Christian denomination in the spotlight.

Worldwide, there are hundreds of different Christian denominations, with Catholics alone accounting for over a billion.

While all of these have different beliefs about aspects of Christianity, but none are known for their unique beliefs as Jehovah’s Witnesses.

In this video, we aim to tell you more about this obscure religious group and their beliefs.

Germany CRUSHES Zelensky's Taurus Dream| Merz to Arm Ukraine With This Long-Range Strike System

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.” #GermanyMissiles #UkraineMissiles #LongRangeMissiles #TaurusMissile #UkraineVsRussia #MissileStrike #WesternArmsUkraine #GermanySupportsUkraine #UkraineFiresBack #TaurusForUkraine #MissileAid #UkraineDefense #RussiaUkraineWar #USGermanyMissiles #MissileCrisis ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.346~GR.125~

‘U.S Is Not Your Piggy Bank…’ U.S Lashes Out At Ukraine | Zelensky To Flee Ukraine Amid Tensions? [Video]

‘U.S Is Not Your Piggy Bank…’ U.S Lashes Out At Ukraine | Zelensky To Flee Ukraine Amid Tensions?

In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Citing President Zelensky’s crackdown on the nation’s largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trump’s renewed “America First” policy. The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns. The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia.

CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS? Islam BOOMS Globally as Millions in the West ABANDON Church And Faith [Video]

CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS? Islam BOOMS Globally as Millions in the West ABANDON Church And Faith

Between 2010 and 2020, the world’s population grew—and so did most major religious groups. Christianity remains the largest religion at 2.3 billion, but its global share fell to 28.8% as more people left the faith, especially in Western nations. Islam experienced the fastest growth, adding 347 million to reach 2 billion globally, fueled by high fertility rates and youthful populations. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated rose to 24.2%, driven by secular trends in countries like China, the U.S., and Japan. Demographic shifts suggest Islam could match Christianity by mid-century. #GlobalFaith #Christianity #Islam #ReligionTrends #ReligiousGrowth #FaithShift #ReligionReport #WorldDemographics #ChristianDecline #IslamRise #ReligiousChange #Unaffiliated #SecularTrends #SubSaharanAfrica #FertilityRates #YouthPopulation #ReligiousSwitching #WesternSecularism #ReligionStats #GlobalPopulation #ReligionIn2020 #Buddhism #Hinduism #Judaism #FaithStats #MidCenturyProjections #ReligionMatters #WorldReligionReport #ReligiousFuture #GlobalReligion #ReligiousLandscape Also Read Authorities Launch Probe into Allegations of Sikh Conversions to Christianity in Pilibhit :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/probe-into-allegations-of-sikh-conversions-in-pilibhit-011-4156455.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan: Religious Leader Shot Dead In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-religious-leader-shot-dead-in-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-4119325.html?ref=DMDesc Shahid Afridi Pressured Me To Convert To Islam: Pakistan's Ex-Cricketer Danish Kaneria :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shahid-afridi-pressured-me-to-convert-to-islam-pakistans-ex-hindu-cricketer-danish-kaneria-4094081.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~
