I know a fair bit about the Jehovah's Witnesses (JW's), so I'll try to answer any questions you may have. |

How come they don't believe in hell? They they view it in the Jewish way? |

Well, the bible is jewish. They take everything in the bible as literal (although they have their own 'correct' translation, of course; just like everybody else). In the context of the language, they argue, sheol was never supposed to mean a fiery underworld. They do not follow all the bible bashing buzz words from Leviticus though, obviously since most of them are illegal, so they are actually cherry pickers just like most christians; they just don't admit it. |

In Judaism they don't beleive in hell if im not mistaken. Apparently "Hell" is not a concept found in Judaism atleast not in the Christian sense. I heard jews say that atleast..EDIT.Here read here for a more accurate description of Judaism's view on Hell. Its more complicated then i make it out. |

Primarily JWs focus on literal translation of the Bible directly from the greek scriptures. They go door to door because they believe that is what Jesus was trying to teach the Apostles and first century Christians to do. |
