摘要: | 本研究提出的研究問題包括:是否能從聖經教義中探究出同為基督教徒中,對聖經的瞭解與明白是足以影響信徒幸福感的關鍵因素?而這些教義的內容又是什麼?這些內容在耶和華見證人的家庭經營模式中能發現什麼?並藉著這些教義內容來檢視為什麼看似沒有解答的人生三大哉問,在這些耶和華見證人出版的書刊中卻指稱說有秘訣? 那麼這些秘訣到底是甚麼?這些秘訣真的能適用每位閱讀的人嗎?並希望透過這個研究進一步探求為何耶和華見證人可以信誓旦旦地指稱「十全十美的幸福家庭生活終必實現」,為本研究的「研究目的」。
本研究是藉著民族誌的研究方法,加上內容分析法,系統地進行紮根理論的質性研究,進行兩階段的分析本文,整理出111筆分析本文資料,客觀分析「耶和華見證人」所主張的「家庭經營」-「幸福」的線上書庫資料。
耶和華見證人的家庭經營模式:在生活上力行禱告、研讀、沉思、聚會、傳道。耶和華見證人家庭因致力於研讀聖經,並按著所學到的聖經原則生活,所以在幸福感上兼備了各派理論提及的個人需求滿足、生活經驗、慾望與期待,以及人格特質(詳見本論文第二章第三節),但最重要的家庭經營宗旨是按著基督徒的兩大誡命:“全心、全意、全智、全力愛耶和華”(馬太福音22:37,馬可福音12:30)和“要愛人如己”(馬太福音22:39)。
耶和華見證人明白上帝透露的一個重要真理——承認耶和華的至高統治權,才會有和平幸福。透過良好的研讀習慣、不輕易放棄聚會、經常的參與傳道工作、禱告祈求聖靈的幫助與指引和沉思所學的聖經知識,培養自己與耶和華的親密友誼,加強對聖經的信心,所以每一位耶和華見證人都會說:「耶和華所賜的福確實豐富了我的一生,帶給我莫大的滿足與喜樂!」
耶和華見證人對幸福的觀點是,幸福就是當難題來的時候,採用耶和華的觀點、運用聖經原則尋求解決之道,耶和華見證人家庭並不是最幸福的王子公主般的童話故事,但卻是最努力致力於運用聖經成功營造家庭幸福的實際生活。希望透過這樣的研究,讓有心想學習聖經的人或是想追求幸福的家庭,可以找到「十全十美的幸福家庭生活」,更能回答出「為什麼幸福這麼難?」是因為所要追求的不僅只是眼前現下的幸福,而是永遠的幸福~~
