Jehovah's Witnesses refer to one of their larger meeting places as an "Assembly Hall" (in contrast to a typical congregation's "Kingdom Hall"). Generally, 6 to 20 congregations are able to simultaneously gather at an Assembly Hall.
The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses is unaffiliated with "Assemblies of God".

No, the assemblies of God is the largest pentecostal "denomination" in the U.S. and very different from the Jehovah Witness faith.
The AOG is not a true denomination in the sense that there is a hierarchy. The AOG does have annual conferences, but each church is pretty much responsible for their own finances.
Here's the website for the Assemblies of God and what they believe.

In many ways, the AOG is more closely related theologically with the Baptist churches, except in terms of the "sign gifts" The AOG faith believes that speaking in tongues can be for today, but it's not necessary to speak in tongues. That is a gift that has to be given from God and is only appropriate under specific circumstances.

They are Pentecostal religious fanatics who roll around on the floor spouting gibberish. All that while the pastor proclaims from the pulpit that most Christians are NOT "REAL" Christians and homosexuality is a choice.
I attended an Assembly of God church for over a year. The experience left running AWAY from God. He would not let me go though.
If you have any brains at all those people will leave you angry too.

No, Assembly of God is Christian and believes in the fullness of the gospel. They believe that the gifts of the Spirit are in use and available to believers today. Jehovah Witness is completely different.

Far from it, the Assembly of God is a pentecostal/charismatic demonination, an offshoot of the 1906 Azusa Street revival.

They're "holy rollers". There is a First Assembly of God church in my town. I would love it if they used their acronym!
