I am preparing for church as I type this answer.
I praise God for being drawn to him.
I am a person who recognizes the need.
A man once asked me, "how can you believe those things?",
I replied sincerely, "how can you or any of Gods creation not believe these things.."

Another way in which “the good news of the kingdom” is told to others is through meetings held at local Kingdom Halls. Jehovah's Witnesses conduct meetings there 3 times per week. One meeting is a public lecture on a subject of current interest, followed by a study of some Biblical theme or prophecy, using the Watchtower magazine as source material. Another meeting is a school for training Witnesses to be better proclaimers of the good news, followed by a part devoted to discussing the witnessing work in the local territory. Also, once a week Witnesses assemble in private homes, in small groups, for Bible studies.
All these meetings are open to the public. No collections are ever taken. Such meetings are beneficial for all. The Bible says: “We ought to see how each of us may best arouse others to love and active goodness, not staying away from our meetings, as some do, but rather encouraging one another, all the more because you see the Day drawing near.” Private study and research are necessary, but meeting with others is stimulating: “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens the wits of another.”—Hebrews 10:24, 25; Proverbs 27:17, The New English Bible.
If you would like further information or a free home Bible study, please contact Jehovah's Witnesses at the local Kingdom Hall. Or visit http://www.watchtower.org

Well in Islam no need to go for place of worshipping...Only Friday is a congregate prayer people have to go to a Mosque.
Being a woman I am praying 5 times at home ( office, public place where is a prayer room). I do not need any "house of God" to pray.

I gladly attend church every Sunday, and also on Holy Days of Obligation. It gives me a sense of joy and peace and refocuses my life back where it's supposed to be - on God.

It sounds like you do not realize why we attend church. A church is a community of believers. At its brilliant, we meet for fellowship, and to construct a experience of community (type of like you do with those that are close to to you). in certain, in smaller church homes, we do help one yet another. those are purely countless the charitable issues our small church handles. even as anybody is ill, we carry foodstuff to them. We help with one yet another's desires in homes. We also placed money into benevolence money to help even as human beings end through the church for assistance, as well as keep a foodstuff cupboard for even as someone is in desire. Our church is likewise targeted on missions journeys. very last week, our church went to Nashville and worked with inner city childrens. Our church also sponsors orphanages in both Russia and contained in the Caribbean. We helped a church contained in the former Soviet Union develop sufficient money to pay for his or her helps (equivalent of $70,000 USD) to have a construction. We also fund numerous different charities. So, certain we do meet in church, yet we also get targeted on charities. i understand that my church isn't the in ordinary words one which does this stuff. So, even as we meet 3 amenities a week, we nevertheless do charitable artwork. What about you?
