Answer 2

As was true of the first-century Christians, many congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses initially used private homes for most of their meetings. In Stockholm, Sweden, the few who first held regular meetings there used a carpentry shop, which they rented for use after the day’s work in the shop was done. Because of persecution, a small group in the province of La Coruña, Spain, held their first meetings in a small storehouse, or granary.

When more space was needed, in lands where there was freedom to do so, the local congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses would rent a meeting place. However, if this was a hall that was also used by other organizations, equipment had to be hauled in or set up for each meeting, and there was frequently the lingering smell of tobacco smoke. Where possible, the brothers would rent an unused store or upstairs room that would be used exclusively by the congregation. But, in time, in many places high rents and unavailability of suitable places made it necessary to work out other arrangements. In some instances buildings were purchased and renovated.

Before World War II, there were a few congregations that built meeting places specially designed for their use. Even as early as 1890, a group of Bible Students in the United States at Mount Lookout, West Virginia, built their own meeting place. Widespread building of Kingdom Halls, however, did not get under way until the 1950’s.

The name Kingdom Hall was suggested in 1935 by J. F. Rutherford, who was then president of the Watch Tower Society. In connection with the Society’s branch facilities in Honolulu, Hawaii, he arranged for the brothers to construct a hall where meetings could be held. When James Harrub asked what Brother Rutherford was going to call the building, he replied: “Don’t you think we should call it ‘Kingdom Hall,’ since that is what we are doing, preaching the good news of the Kingdom?” Thereafter, where possible, halls regularly being used by the Witnesses gradually began to be identified by signs that said “Kingdom Hall.” Thus, when the London Tabernacle was renovated in 1937-38, it was renamed Kingdom Hall. In time, the principal local meeting place of congregations worldwide came to be known as the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Let interested ones know that there is a central meeting place in the community where instruction is regularly provided. Give them the Kingdom Hall address and the meeting times. Explain the differences between our meetings and the religious gatherings they may have attended in the past. Everyone is welcome; there are no collections or personal solicitations for funds. While appointed ministers conduct the programs, everyone has opportunity to participate by offering comments and sharing in program parts. Families are welcome; children are included in our Bible discussions. Our ministers do not wear special robes or garments. The Kingdom Hall is tastefully decorated and has no candles, statues, or images. Those who attend are primarily residents of the local neighborhood.

Answer 3

of course i would but that's me
ask ur self what would u b doing if u didn't go and if you can some how benefit in any way by attending a meeting

Answer 4

No. They will not attend any other service but their own. So, why should I compromise what I believe to be true. Before I became a Christian I dated a witness. We broke up because our beliefs, but remained good friends. When my Dad died, he told me he couldn't come to his funeral if it was held at a church.

Answer 5

Sure.

P.S. That's simple not true about Jehovah's Witnesses cannot visit to any religious services... I have one lady from my school who is a Witness told me that she did attended to her friend's funeral in Catholic Church. So much lies from apostates and JW-hater Christians.

Answer 6

No, because I would assume that they would try the same high pressure sales tatics in church that they try at your house, only it will be worse because there will be more of them.

Answer 7

No...I have my own church and I don't even like it when they come to my house and try to get me to read their pamphlets. If I were interested in their religion, I would seek it out on my own.

Answer 8

Probably not. Not anymore than I would go back to any other Christian church, anyway.

Answer 9

I did, I really thought it was very boring. These people are so unhappy, lifeless, NO joy, no happiness. Lot's of back-biting, misery would best describe how terrible these people are...they will EVER say that, but they are

Answer 10

no,and jehovahs witnesses are not allowed to go to your church. when are we going to become the body of christ?
