A religion with over 8 million members all over the world. They come from hundreds of ethnic and language backgrounds, yet are united by common goals. Above all, they want to honor Jehovah, the God of the Bible and the Creator of all things. They do their best to imitate Jesus Christ and are proud to be called Christians. Each of them regularly spend time helping people learn about the Bible and God’s Kingdom. Because they witness, or talk, about Jehovah God and his Kingdom, they are known as Jehovah’s Witnesses.
They are one of the few religions to go door to door in order to preach. Despite common misconceptions, they are not a cult, and do not force anyone to join their religion. They are honest, respectful, peaceful people.
They have an official website: jw.org. Any other website not linked to on the official site cannot be considered a valid source of information regarding Jehovah's Witnesses, as they tend to have biased opinions disguised as facts about JWs.

Originated from the Eminem song of the same name, a "stan" used to mean an obsessive, stalker fan.
Over the years though, the term has evolved into something with less negative connotations. Nowadays, a stan is simply a dedicated fan to their hobby, or to a favorite celebrity, TV show, or music artist. It is a more flexible synonym of "fan," as it can be used as a noun and a verb.
Stans tend to spend their time immersed in their fandom of choice, drawing fan art, making theories, and watching and creating edits, crack videos, compilations, and animatics. Contrary to the belief of some, stans are not toxic as a whole and often do not condone the bad behavior of some fellow stans, rather trying to correct and educate others who behave inappropriately.
Like any large group of people, stans are extremely diverse and should never be judged as a whole based only on the actions of a few.
