The Jehovah's Witnesses, legally represented by the Watch Tower Bible Society, were formed in the United States, in 1870, in the light of fundamentalists protestants movements which had emerged at the same period, and solidified themselves through a rigorous doctrine, strongly restrictive.This research investigates, considering its internal dynamics, what sustains group cohesion in a community apparently so restrictive in Brazilian religious field context, whose characteristic, as many analyses has demonstrated, is its intense flexibility between several doctrines and religious practices.By analyzing and giving visibility to the means from which they had resorted for develop, organize, expand and support themselves in the religious field, it is evident the tension between mobility and radicalism.Thereby, limited terms as "fundamentalism" and "proselytism" are placed in perspective, considering important conflict dimensions that, finally, insert the Jehovah's Witnesses in this dynamics.It is the capacity of live together, contend, coopt, reinventing their beliefs and practices whenever necessary, that turns the group flexible in a very particular way, even if it seems strict, where changes become important resources to sustain their beliefs and distinctiveness amid the modifications by which the religious field has been crossing over
