Why dont Jehovah Witnesses take part in devotions or prayers by other Christians?

Answer 1

Because their God ... aka the Watchtower ... dictates everything they do and says they can't.

Answer 2

What is Christ say about those who make a public display of prayer and worship? Witnesses don't need for the world to see them communicating with God to prove they are Christian and so many others do. To them, it is a private matter. It reminds me a lot of Tevye when he prays.

Answer 3

Which other Christians? The Mormons? The Charismatics? The Catholics?

Please to each of it's own. You do not see any denomination taking part in devotions or prayers by another denomination too.

Answer 4

(1 Corinthians 10:20-22) 21 YOU cannot be drinking the cup of Jehovah and the cup of demons; YOU cannot be partaking of “the table of Jehovah” and the table of demons. 22 Or “are we inciting Jehovah to jealousy”? We are not stronger than he is, are we?

THESE inspired words of the apostle Paul show that two figurative tables are set before mankind. Each table is identified by the kind of symbolic food placed upon it, and all of us are eating at one or the other. However, if we wish to please God, we cannot be feeding at his table and at the same time be nibbling at the table of demons.

We cannot escape the fact that we are obliged to eat at one table or the other. We would not knowingly want to be partaking of the table of demons. To do that would cost us the favor of the only true and living God, Jehovah. On the other hand, to partake of food only at Jehovah’s table leads to our everlasting life in happiness!

Shortly, the great tribulation will suddenly break out, moving quickly to a climax in “the war of the great day of God the Almighty.” (Revelation 16:14, 16) It will reach a crescendo as Jehovah destroys this system of things and the figurative table at which the world’s nations have been feeding. Jehovah will also overthrow the entire invisible organization of Satan the Devil with its hordes of demons. Those who have continued to feed at Satan’s spiritual table, the table of demons, will be forced to attend a literal meal, no, not as partakers, but as the main course—to their destruction!—See Ezekiel 39:4; Revelation 19:17, 18.

Only Jehovah’s table will remain. Those who are appreciatively feeding at it will be preserved and will be privileged to eat there for all time to come. Never again will food shortages of any kind threaten them. (Psalm 67:6; 72:16) In perfect health they will serve Jehovah God in Paradise! At last the stirring words of Revelation 21:4 will be magnificently fulfilled: “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” With opposition a thing of the past, Jehovah God’s universal sovereignty will obtain everywhere forever and ever as endless divine favor pours upon redeemed mankind occupying the Paradise earth. To gain this reward, let all of us be determined to partake exclusively of Jehovah’s table, which is brimming with the best of spiritual food!

Answer 5

Most other Christians pray to a trinitarian god and Jehovah's Witnesses only pray to Jehovah through his son, Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

Simply bow your head,when with a Jehovah Witness,and start the prayer with,FATHER JEHOVAH...they must and will bow their heads.

Answer 7

Because that's one of the traits of a cult. In order for a cult to succeed they have to isolate their members from outside influences otherwise their false doctrines will be in danger of getting exposed. Cults seek to control individuals and strip away their identities by conforming them to the cult ideal.

Of course, any successful cult will have answers to these charges and try to hide behind distorted interpretations of the Bible to justify what they do. They will talk about being "called out" and about not being yoked with unbelievers. They will use corruption in other church institutions to justify why they are the "true" church of God. But it's all a Satanic scheme to divide the body of Christ and to lure people into false religious systems.

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,
