Abstract

The missionary practice of Jehovah’s Witnesses is the result of a diligent and proselityst work. The main way they access the public, given through the personal dialogue and the distribution of brochures and leaflets, points out the fact they do not use the Internet as a possible way of proselytism. This article aims to discuss the different elements used by the group to accomplish the missionary goal and takes into account the fact that their proselytist practice is elaborated based on a different pattern of communication.
