Abstract
Jehovah's Witnesses have existed as a minority religion in Denmark for more than hundred years. I argue that even Jehovah's Witnesses are clearly within, although situated in the borderland of the Danish model of religion, they are also located in a borderland position when seen from juridical, theological and sociological points of views. I discuss the borderland position on the basis of a media debate that took place in the summer of 2013, when Jehovah's Witnesses were accused of racism due to speeches given at the yearly summer convent.
