I'm curretly taking a religion class inwhich we will explore various religions. We had to pick a religion we were unfamiliar with. I chose Jehovah Witness.
I quess my question is "What is the purpose of praise and worship in your religion, and what do you praise and worship? Is praise and worship offered is it in the form of dance, song, chant etc?
Also do you have a website with you all praise and wprshipping?
Please advise.
Thanks for your help.
First I feel obligated to tell you that this site is mostly those who are against JWs.
This is good for you though, because we can tell you what they believe in, and then refute it and / or show you the errors. I applaud you for expanding yur horizons.
And now, here's someon who knows what they are talking about:
What is the purpose of praise and worship in your religion, and what do you praise and worship? Is praise and worship offered is it in the form of dance, song, chant etc?
First, JWs (Jehovah's Witnesses) are very different from other religions. Praise and worship mean different things in those religions. So could you define what you mean by
Praise
Worship
There is no dancing or chanting allowed at the meetings.
A song is sung (to recorded music) at the beginning and end of each meeting to songs written only by JWs and approved by the WTS. There are no choirs or live music allowed.
Blondie
The official Watchtower site www.watchtower.org www.jw-media.org You know that what people say and what they do can be very different. Please check back with this site for the alternate view. We will be sure to use the Watchtower's own words to back that up (at least I will try).
what i want to know is how richierich knew blondie was coming on next.
I think Richie just knew someone would post with further info. He didn't say it would be Blondie. Just my guess...
welcome, hope you do find some answers here ran 12. It is good to study religions; many JW's should have done the same b4 they answered their doorbells.
Shalom,
