Why they knock on doors, and what they get out of it.

Located in Brooklyn New York is Bethel, the international headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses. Here is where people of all ages are printing and publishing pamphlets and bibles people around the country are reading. The people that work here do not get paid in hourly work but with gratitude to serve their mission. The only true form of money is a reward of room and board and a gift of fourteen dollars a month for personal necessities, as stated in the article, The Jehovah's Witnesses: An Interpretation.
Whether it be to transcribe the bible into different languages or work at the switch board, All Jehovah’s Witnesses are happy to do their work since they are gaining recognition for doing a good deed. They feel an obligation to deliver their message to everyone before the end of the world arrives. Although Jehovah’s witnesses are people with a mission to serve and spread the news, they are not trying to convert you but to relay their mission to the world. It is a necessity to make sure that everyone is informed of the “truth”.
