For example not to murder or to kill other people. Or to abstain from blood. This and other very important teachings and commandments from the Bible is the main difference between Jehovah’s Witnesses and Christianity. And also every other Religion in the world.
What do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Christians do not?

Jehovah’s Witnesses are different from other religions: don’t believe that the soul is immortal
Another difference between Jehovah’s Witnesses and other religious groups that are called Christians is, that Jehovah’s Witnesses do not believe that the soul is immortal.

The soul who sins is the one who will die.”
Jehovah’s Witnesses are different from religions which believe in everlasting hell
Jehovah’s Witnesses are also different from other religious groups, which believe in everlasting hell. Because Jehovah’s Witnesses discovered in the Bible, that the teaching of an everlasting hell is wrong. We can read for example in God’s word, the Bible : “(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten.”
“(Ecclesiastes 9:10) Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.”

Because Jesus Christ himself told his followers: “(Matthew 23:8-10) But you, do not you be called Rabbi, for one is your Teacher, and all of you are brothers. 9 Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father, the heavenly One. 10 Neither be called leaders, for your Leader is one, the Christ.”
Jehovah’s Witnesses respect governments and are political neutral like Jesus Christ
