Reflection

With this project I have the opportunity to understand and learn about practices of people of an other religion, in this case the Jehova's Witnesses. It was really helpful because I did not knew much information of this religion. For example I didn't knew that they read a bibile similar to the one that catholics use. It was really interesting to look for their practices and what they think about life, past and future.
