How young are you?
For your info, the church of the Jehovah witnesses is called the Kingdom Hall.

You do not say how old you are but based on your question, you seem quite young. Remember the Bible tells us to honor our father and our mother. The fact that you seem to know little about the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses (I am one) says to me, that you need to slow down and learn more about the Bible, and about us. Your parents are probably worried about you. You complain you aren't allowed to attend "church of jehovah witness". This to me says you still need to learn more about us. Grow up some more, continue to learn, and talk with your parents. When you can show them you have a good understanding of spiritual matters, then they might decide to let you have some decision making power.

first of all the "church" is a kingdom hall. How old are you ? keep praying to Jehovah, he will give you the answer. if your parents won't allow you to go , ask them if you can just have a bible study with a JW. By setting a good example they may change their minds.

By God's own word you should be obedient to ur parents.
This pleases Him.
KEEP Praying to Jehovah.
He will may a way for you.
Do you believe He is the hearer of prayers?
Will ur parents let u study the Bible?
Don't give up!!!!, Presevere in prayer.
Satan is the only one who really doesn't want you to know the truth about God and himself.

I have a couple of friends in this same situation. One of them is allowed to go to some meetings, and the other one decided to move in with her uncle and aunt who are witnesses.
write to the society and tel the about your situation. read your bible. try to get a hold of the recent watchtower and awakes. try to stay in touch with those at the kingdomhall. do all that your parents will allow you to.

Somewhere in Jehovah's word it says
listen to your parents as it will add life and years to you.
This is suppose to be the case until you marry and then you sever that bond for your your marriage bond.
Just make sure what you do works for you in your overall plan of life.

How would you describe the church your parents go to? Do they go to church at all? Do they seem to know the Bible, to know God? Do your parents seem like real God loving, God seeking people?
I ask all of these questions because in Chrisitian weaknesses, other gospels have been allowed to creep in. Other religions look at the faults of Christians and take advantage to belittle Christianity. Be careful with the Jehovah's Witnesses, because sometimes they seem like light, but in my estimation, are otherwise. Put Jesus Christ first, and not any organization. Be wary of any organization that seeks to pay obeisance rather than worship to Jesus Christ.
I don't want to say anymore about it right now, but always pray and ask God to help you in obtaining the truth, to lead you to the right path, and to help your parents and your relationship with them. Peace and Amen.

If you'll pray to Jehovah he will surely find a way to help you. He will never let you down if you'll continue to love him.
"For I came to cause division, with a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a young wife against her mother-in-law. Indeed, a man’s enemies will be persons of his own household. He that has greater affection for father or mother than for me is not worthy of me; and he that has greater affection for son or daughter than for me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not accept his torture stake and follow after me is not worthy of me. He that finds his soul will lose it, and he that loses his soul for my sake will find it." -- Matthew 10:35-39
"For God is not unrighteous so as to forget YOUR work and the love YOU showed for his name, in that YOU have ministered to the holy ones and continue ministering. But we desire each one of YOU to show the same industriousness so as to have the full assurance of the hope down to the end, in order that YOU may not become sluggish, but be imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises." -- Hebrews 6:10-12
"You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind." -- Matthew 22:37

Love God,but we must also hate the things that
our Father in heaven hates.God hates false
doctrine.
We must not listen to man and their opinions.Trust in the word of God and what he says.For an example,in Revelation 2:6,14,15,20.He tells us the things that he hates. It is written,so shall it be!
