Abstract

This article provides an overview of the Jehovah’s Witnesses denomination. After a brief development of their origins, it breaks down some of their central beliefs. Next, it seeks to unveil and disentangle what lies behind what they call «political neutrality» and how this involves them in dilemmas vis-à-vis national states. The article concludes by demonstrating the compelling incidence of the private sphere —such as the religious and theological elements— on the public sphere, which recognizes the blurring of the line separating the two registers.
