All groups in society position themselves in this same society in a certain way, also having positions about the official historiography and, in some cases, building their own historiographic work. In this paper I will analyze how this process occurs with the religious movement of Jehovah's Witnesses, from the literature produced by these individuals I seek to understand how they appropriate the past, how they produce meaning about it and what are the uses of these narratives, especially how they contribute to the construction of a collective identity, in addition to the ways in which they build bridges with the studies of historians. My time frame, from 1989 to 2014, is justified by the years in which the sources I analysed were published. All the books and articles produced by the group and analysed by me were published and released within this time frame. The theme is important due to the scarcity of material produced about the Jehovah's Witnesses, and for opening great possibility for reflection on the appropriations, productions and uses of historical thought outside the academy and, in this case, by a religious group.
