In a wooded spot on a quiet road in Oakdale stands the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses. A small garden lines the front entryway, where a bench invites conversation.
According to the Web site, Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that the Catholic pope is the authority on religion. The religion believes that the Bible teaches its followers how to behave though faith and, according to the Web site, rejects "certain features of Catholic worship."
