1	Jag hade inte förmånen att födas in i sanningen : Tidigare trosuppfattningar och senare omvändelse hos personer som tillhör Jehovas Vittnen / I didn't have the fortune to be born into the truth : a study about Jehovah's Witnesses previous beliefs and later conversion Jansson, Tove January 2017 (has links) This study focuses on the previous beliefs of persons who are active in Jehovas Witnesses. It also focuses on the circumstances which made the person enter the organisation. Seven persons, four women and three men were subjects for my question in this study. The question formulations are as follows: How does the person’s previous beliefs look like? Are there any circumstances which may have made the person enter Jehovas Witnesses? How does the membership in the organisation give the person meaning? The persons are all living in the area of Småland, in south of Sweden. The conclusion is that all of the informants have in some way expressed some sort of faith, weather it consists of a believe in God, a guardian angel or something else.
