Answer 1

In the United States, the vast majority of local congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses have their "Public Talk" on Sunday. The reasons for this are practical rather than religious (Witnesses readily acknowledge that the Sabbath was Saturday), so some congregations do have Saturday meetings.

Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians who understand the Scriptures to teach that God's Kingdom by Christ Jesus is a real government which will soon replace all earthly governments.
(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite

That Kingdom will rule over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.
(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire

While a limitted number of humans will be resurrected to heaven to share in ruling over mankind, the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]

Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

Answer 2

One thing about J.W's. We are constant.
Right around the world, we are not tied up with tradition.
The door to door preaching work goes on virtually 24/7.
There are five meetings a week and these are flexible as to time.
Attendance at the Kingdom Hall is usually twice a week for two hours each time. Each attendance consists of 2 X 1 hour meetings, with a single song separating the two meetings.
The fifth [ one hour] meeting is usually held at a private home, for the purpose of studying a particular publication, and always Bible based.
One of the meetings is a Public Talk, usually the first, for one hour, and usually held on a Sunday. If two congregations share the one Kingdom Hall, one congregation will have the morning, and the other, the afternoon.
The second hour is taken up with a study of the Watchtower magazine.
Hope this helps and please feel free to attend any one of the Public Talks. they are self explanatory. No collections are taken.

Answer 3

Its "Jehovah's witnesses" and if you go on sunday there is bound to be someone there. I grew up J.W. but do not practice anymore but do not let that discourage you. There are many things that you will learn and enjoy. Have an open mind and express your fellings and concerns as well.
And yes, Jesus is the Son of God, which many people forget that they are not the same, thus Jehovah's witnesses do not believe in the Trinity(the belief that the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are all one and the same).

Answer 4

Yes we do. . .

in the Philippines. . .

some on Sundays only, others on Saturdays and Sundays, while others have what we call Midweek meetings during the weekdays. . .

it depends on the location, actually. . .

You may want to visit www.watchtower.org for more information, or just drop by any nearby Kingdom Hall. Our brothers and sisters there will be very happy to answer your questions. . .

Answer 5

On Sunday is the service check your local Kingdom hall the time should be listed on a board near the door...

Answer 6

Contact someone from there or someone from www.watchtower.org and they will connect you with the right people. You are welcome at any meeting!

Answer 7

no they only have service on sundays; it depends on which Kingdom Hall you visit though. Stop by and they can give you what time they meet up at

Answer 8

Some congregations meet on Saturdays. Most meet on Sundays. Below are some of the things we believe.

(1) Bible: Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God, and instead of adhering to a creed based on human tradition, they hold to the Bible as the standard for all their beliefs.

(2) God: They worship Jehovah as the only true God and freely speak to others about him and his loving purposes toward mankind. Anyone who publicly witnesses about Jehovah is usually identified as belonging to the one group—“Jehovah’s Witnesses.”

(3) Jesus Christ: They believe, not that Jesus Christ is part of a Trinity, but that, as the Bible says, he is the Son of God, the first of God’s creations; that he had a prehuman existence and that his life was transferred from heaven to the womb of a virgin, Mary; that his perfect human life laid down in sacrifice makes possible salvation to eternal life for those who exercise faith; that Christ is actively ruling as King, with God-given authority over all the earth since 1914.

(4) God’s Kingdom: They believe that God’s Kingdom is the only hope for mankind; that it is a real government; that it will soon destroy the present wicked system of things, including all human governments, and that it will produce a new system in which righteousness will prevail.

(5) Heavenly life: They believe that 144,000 spirit-anointed Christians will share with Christ in his heavenly Kingdom, ruling as kings with him. They do not believe that heaven is the reward for everyone who is “good.”

(6) The earth: They believe that God’s original purpose for the earth will be fulfilled; that the earth will be completely populated by worshipers of Jehovah and that these will be able to enjoy eternal life in human perfection; that even the dead will be raised to an opportunity to share in these blessings.

(7) Death: They believe that the dead are conscious of absolutely nothing; that they are experiencing neither pain nor pleasure in some spirit realm; that they do not exist except in God’s memory, so hope for their future life lies in a resurrection from the dead.

(8) Last days: They believe that we are living now, since 1914, in the last days of this wicked system of things; that some who saw the events of 1914 will also see the complete destruction of the present wicked world; that lovers of righteousness will survive into a cleansed earth.

(9) Separate from the world: They earnestly endeavor to be no part of the world, as Jesus said would be true of his followers. They show genuine Christian love for their neighbors, but they do not share in the politics or the wars of any nation. They provide for the material needs of their families but shun the world’s avid pursuit of material things and personal fame and its excessive indulgence in pleasure.

(10) Apply Bible counsel: They believe that it is important to apply the counsel of God’s Word in everyday life now—at home, in school, in business, in their congregation. Regardless of a person’s past way of life, he may become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses if he abandons practices condemned by God’s Word and applies its godly counsel. But if anyone thereafter makes a practice of adultery, fornication, homosexuality, drug abuse, drunkenness, lying, or stealing, he will be disfellowshipped from the organization.
