  So how many days a week do witnesses go to church or bible study?
  Why don't they belive in military or government?
  When is the day of armegheddon coming I had heard it was suppose to come in 1914?
  Whats the big difference from Catholic and Jehovah's Witness?
  What are restrictions Jehovahs Witnesses have that other people don't?
  What if you have to work during the time of church or bible study?

  These questions aren't to critize the religion in any way just asking for curiosity.

  Thank you for any replies

  law,
  ya know you have some real valid questions...but here you may get only one sided answers.......

  when you get your answers perhaps you should seek out a JW and ask him.face to face......and then you may get abetter idea of the cult like mindset.......

  "So how many days a week do witnesses go to church or bible study?.."5 meetings aweek spread over threedays.....
  bible study should be daily!

  "Why don't they belive in military or government?."..They
  believe in a higher form of government...and not of this world...but will PRODUCE an earthly system of government

  "When is the day of armegheddon coming I had heard it was suppose to come in 1914? "yes so did they, and then 1919, ,1931,1935 ,1975, before 2000......you should ask them NOW when its coming.......

  Whats the big difference from Catholic and Jehovah's Witness?
  CROSS< TRINITY< PERGATORY<PRIESTS ARE PAID

  What are restrictions Jehovahs Witnesses have that other people don't?> many too many to list....not taking blood , smoking, sex before marriage, being no part of the world.

  What if you have to work during the time of church or bible study?
  its a matter of "conscience" but it is not encouraged....... the MEETINGS should come first.........

  Hey Law:

  Jw's "church services" are called meetings and they attend 5 of them a week. They are held usually tues. and thurs. evenings and Sun morning or evening. Jw's don't allow smoking, sex before marriage, drunkenness, etc.... They also don't allow their members to participate in any other religious organization or activity. They also practice disfellowshipping, whereby a member is expelled and any fam or friends the person may have in the religion are encouraged to shun him unil he is accepted back into the religion.

  If you want anymore info besides what you get here I would recommend you go to http://www.freeminds.org. It's a site that's really helpful in showing what jehovah's witnesses are really all about.

  "So how many days a week do witnesses go to church or bible study?"

  Sunday (either morning or arfo), Tuesday or Wednesday, Bookstudy is usually Thursday nite. All this depends on the congregation. Different cong different times.
  
  "Why don't they believe in military or government?"

  Cos it's influenced by Satan.

  "When is the day of armegheddon coming I had heard it was suppose to come in 1914?"

  When Jehovah God says so. Bugger what everyone else says.

  "Whats the big difference from Catholic and Jehovah's Witness?"

  JW's aren't into idol worship like Catholics are.

  "What are restrictions Jehovahs Witnesses have that other people don't?"

  One's thought up by imperfect men with no sex or social life.

  "What if you have to work during the time of church or bible study?"

  Your regarded as spiritually weak and you won't get anywhere.
