And Jesus went about all galilee,
teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and heling all manner of sickness and
all manner of disease among the
people. Matt 4:23
Jesus went to church, why not you?
I address this to the Jehovah's Witnesses.

No just pay homage to the Watchtower society.
The name alone should put the alert in people, but thousands are deceived by these evil door knockers working there way to the new world.
They are truly one of the most saddest cults I have ever seen. These people have no hope of going to heaven unless they are one of the 144,000. There doctrine is indeed a lie.
It seems they go after the uneducated, and use scare tactics and guilt to get them into there organization.
Jesus is Lord even over the JW's they just dont know it.

Jesus didn't preach in a church, he preached in a synagogue.
And do you know why he would enter synagogues?
HE WAS JEWISH AND THAT'S WHERE JEWS WENT.
There was no Christian religion or congregations. There would not be for years. The old Jewish system did not pass away until his death.
The traditions and rituals followed in the synagogues were taken from the Holy Torah, the same scriptures Christ used to preach from. He was taught these by Mary and Joseph.
Today's churches are different. They follow traditions and rituals that are not Bible based, except where Christ predicted that they were symbols of false religions, such as the use of the incense. These rituals are a part of the worship, so why would a witness want to participate in something that was not Bible based.
Further, remember what Christ said about the man praying at the eastern wall, compared to the one who did it at home, alone, for no one to see. Which one was the more blessed.
Witnesses don't go to the Kingdom Hall to worship, they go there to learn God's Word, how to preach, and teach it. Worship is personal and a public display.
Would Jesus enter today's churches? Yes, but most of his time would be spent overturning the money exchange tables.
And, perhaps seeing if the offering plate can sail like a Frisbee.

you need to be more specific in your question.
In the bible the word 'church' is really the people who congregate together and not a building.
As you said Jesus went to a synagogue, not a church building.
Jehovah's Witnesses congregate for 5 meetings a week.
Jehovah says quit touching the unclean thing at 2 Cor 6:17.

The premise of this question is false. In fact, most Jehovah's Witnesses attend their church for nearly five hours each week.
(Hebrews 10:25) Not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near.
Jehovah's Witnesses prefer to refer to their houses of worship as "Kingdom Halls", although they fully recognize that each Kingdom Hall is a "church" and they have no religious objections to the term.

The Bible tells us to flea from badness. Would you want to eat both good and bad food? While we each must make our own decision, the principle is, one should not take part in another religion, if one wishes to serve God, and feels that their religion is doing so. Case in point, even though they said they were doing it for God, was he happy when the Isrealites worshipped the Golden Calf????
As for your comment about Jesus, you are correct he did go to other temples, To teach.

They don't consider it church, they call it "kingdom hall".
