Occasions that are Celebrated by
the Group
 Each congregation generally meets twice per week, as
of January 1, 2009. To the extent possible, all
congregations worldwide study the same material each
week. Meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses open and close
with prayer. ‘Kingdom kings' are sung at most
meetings, as well as at assemblies and conventions.
Dress for meetings is local formal attire. For instance,
in most Western countries, this consists of a suit and
tie for males, and conservative dresses/skirts for
females. Meetings are free to attend, and are open to
the public.
Place of Worship
 Jehovah's Witnesses call their meeting places
"Kingdom Halls" instead of churches. The original
reason for this is because the Witnesses preach about
God's Kingdom. The Witnesses emphasize the
gathering or "congregation" of people, rather than the
physical location.

persons in the Godhead - the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost, undivided in essence and co-equal in
power and glory.
 They also believe that in the person of Jesus Christ the
Divine and human natures are united, so that He is
truly and properly God and truly and properly man.
Belief cont’d
 The first parents were created in a state of innocency,
but by their disobedience they lost their purity and
happiness, and that in consequence of their fall all
men have become sinners, totally depraved and as
such are justly exposed to the wrath of God.
Place of Worship
 Unusual places for worship!
 In Victorian times, Christian worship in Britain normally
took places in the many churches and chapels of the
different denominations.
William and Catherine Booth, who found the Salvation
Army, found that the very poor people whom they wanted
to reach, did not want to enter such buildings. The answer
was to preach in the streets and the fields, in tents, in
hippodromes and in music hall buildings.
 Later in the 19 century other Christian groups copied their
tactics and they later build meeting house.
