Which day of the week do Jehovah's Witnesses worship on?

Question

Which day is their sabbath?

Answer 1

Another way in which “the good news of the kingdom” is told to others is through meetings held at local Kingdom Halls. T he Witnesses conduct meetings there weekly. 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.

The Witnesses also make good use of openings for talking about the good news as they come in contact with other people in their daily lives. It may be a few words exchanged with a neighbor or with a fellow traveler on a bus or a plane, a longer conversation with a friend or a relative, or a discussion with a fellow worker during lunch hour. Much of the witnessing that Jesus did when he was on earth was of this kind—as he walked along the seashore, sat on a hillside, dined at someone’s home, attended a wedding, or traveled in a fishing boat on the Sea of Galilee. He taught in the synagogues and at the temple in Jerusalem. Wherever he was, he found opportunities to talk about God’s Kingdom. Jehovah’s Witnesses endeavor to follow in his footsteps in this regard also.—1 Peter 2:21.

PREACHING BY EXAMPLE -

None of these ways of telling you the good news would be meaningful to you if the one telling you did not apply the teachings to himself. To say one thing and do another is hypocrisy, and religious hypocrisy has turned millions away from the Bible. The Bible is not rightly blamed. The scribes and Pharisees had the Hebrew Scriptures, but Jesus denounced them as hypocrites. He spoke of their reading from the Law of Moses, then added to his disciples: “All the things they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds, for they say but do not perform.” (Matthew 23:3.) A Christian’s being an example of right living says more than hours of sermonizing.

Therefore, Jehovah’s Witnesses try to recommend the good news to others in this way also: by being exemplary in the Christian conduct that they recommend to others. They try to ‘do unto others as they would have others do unto them.’ (Matthew 7:12) They try to be this way with all men, not just with fellow Witnesses, friends, neighbors, or relatives.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not "Sunday Christians" who believe they should worship God one day per week. Being a Christian is not like a garment that you take off at the end of the day. To Jehovah's Witnesses, being a Christian involves following Jesus' example through their whole way of life.

As for the Sabbath, the Bible indicates that Christians are not obligated to keep the Sabbath. Why? Romans 10:4 says: “Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.” (Sabbath keeping was a part of that Law. God used Christ to bring that Law to its end. Our having a righteous standing with God depends on faith in Christ, not on keeping a weekly sabbath.) (Also Galatians 4:9-11; Ephesians 2:13-16.)

Col. 2:13-16: “God kindly forgave us all our trespasses and blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and which was in opposition to us . . . Therefore let no man judge you in eating and drinking or in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a sabbath.” (If a person was under the Mosaic Law and was judged guilty of profaning the Sabbath, he was to be stoned to death by the whole congregation, according to Exodus 31:14 and Numbers 15:32-35. Many who argue for sabbath keeping have reason to be glad that we are not under that Law. As shown in the scripture here quoted, an approved standing with God no longer requires observance of the sabbath requirement given to Israel.)

Answer 2

Which day of the week do Jehovah's Witnesses worship on?

Answer 3

Jehovah's Witnesses worship the Almighty seven days each week. They do not recognize one day as particularly "holy", but reserve time each day to meditate, study, and pray.

Also, they work for their Creator's purposes whenever they can. Jehovah's Witnesses both witness personally and bear witness to others regarding God's personal name, his majestic personality, and Kingdom purposes. In doing so, they align themselves with Jesus Christ and the prophets.

(Isaiah 43:10) “You are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah

(Isaiah 43:12) So you are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “and I am God.

(Hebrews 12:1-2) Because we have so great a cloud of [Jehovah's] witnesses surrounding us, let us also put off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, as we look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus

(Revelation 1:5) Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness”

(Acts 5:38,39) Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, YOU will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, You may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”

Answer 4

we as Jehovah Witnesses worship Jehovah seven days a week 365 days a year. 24 hours a day. we are in 235 lands so when we are asleep others are worshiping Jehovah by going to meeting, talking about Jehovah or going to the doors. Matthew 28 verses 19 and 20. www.watchtower.org

Answer 5

Jehovah's Witnesses worship God 24/7 as the saying goes. To worship God is to obey him. To obey God is to worship him. Thus, we strive to obey him daily.

To which sabbath do you refer? The Bible speaks of more than one. If you mean one special day out of the week, Witnesses accept the Bible's teaching that there is no longer any day of the week special over the rest.

As to formal worship, we have five meetings per week held on three different days.

Answer 6

They can have meetings any day of the week. Some kingdom halls have 5 congregations meeting in the same hall and they have to time the meetings so everyone gets to attend.
They also have 5 meetings a week not just one. Like every other day. So I think they consider every day as sacred.
They also pray at least 5 times a day. Not openly but over and before eating, before sleeping and when they get up.
Anyway, the people I know do.

Answer 7

I am a bible thumping Christian, I worship the God of Creation and His Son Jesus Co-Creator everyday, I am not a member of any worldly church. I learned early on the changing of the day from Saturday (7th day, Sabbath of Creation) to Sunday (the venerable day of the Sun...not Son.) in 325 A.D. By Constatiene. Man only has ever assumed that it has been done away with, I would like to give you biblical facts proving it is essential to keep the 7th day "Holy" as the Day of Worship of God's choice.

1. In the beginning God Blessed it and sanctified it. That day the memorial of the Day of God was set up, never to be changed.

2. The Commandments were given by Jesus (Micheal His Eternal Form before the earth was.) they are His Father's

3. Only commandment that begins with "Remember". He knew all would forget.

4. Read all of Hebrews Chapter 4.

5. May Christ Jesus open your minds to the "Truth", which the world can not recieve.

"If you love me keep "My" commandments" Jesus the Son of God

Answer 8

TUESDAYS, THURSDAYS,SUNDAY.......at Deuteronomy 5:12-15: “Keeping the sabbath day to hold it sacred, . . . you must remember that you became a slave in the land of Egypt and Jehovah your God proceeded to bring you out from there with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. That is why Jehovah your God commanded you to carry on the sabbath day.”

In fact, this sabbath law was to be a sign between Jehovah and whom? Only Israel. At Exodus 31:13 it is written: “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘Especially my sabbaths you are to keep, for it is a sign between me and you during your generations that you may know that I Jehovah am sanctifying you.’”

Did Jesus observe the sabbath? The religious leaders of his day found fault with Jesus in this regard, but the fact remains that as a Jew born under the Law, he did indeed observe the sabbath. (Gal. 4:4) He kept the sabbath as God’s Word (not the Pharisees) directed. When challenged, he argued, not that the sabbath did not apply to him, but, rather, that it was “lawful to do a fine thing on the sabbath.” (Matt. 12:12) However, he also said that he came “to fulfill” the Law. (Matt. 5:17) How did this affect his disciples?

After Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension into heaven did they continue to keep the sabbath? No. But they did take advantage of local customs to preach to the people who usually gathered on the sabbath. Thus we read that Paul and his companions entered a synagogue on the sabbath. Why? Because that is when people were there. (Acts 13:14-16) And it was their listeners, accustomed to gathering on the sabbath, that asked that they be permitted to hear more on the following sabbath. (Acts 13:42-44) Whenever the sabbath is mentioned in the book of Acts, it is in connection with non-Christian worship, either at a synagogue or other place of prayer.—Acts 16:11-13; 17:1-3; 18:4.......At Romans 6:14 it is written to Christians: “You are not under law.”
