If this was me I really wouldn’t go to a meeting. All looks very nice and good on the surface.
there are good people that are Jehovah’s witnesses but the problem it’s not so much the people but the teachings jws follow and are encouraged to encourage others to follow. If you go... you’ll come out feeling loved and a good feeling overall... but one must be careful and aware that this comes with huge forever consequences.
jws are not like any other religion. There’s no going back one committed.
These days there’s so much on the internet to give you a sense of who they are and what they are all about without physical putting yourself inside the frying pan.

Hi Balder and welcome!
I’m guessing it would be useful for you to have the weekly schedule of a JW who is roughly your age? If so...
Presently they have two meetings per week which you absolutely must attend. The Sunday one includes a public talk followed by the watchtower study (Watchtower and Awake are the two magazines published by the watchtower bible and tract society who essentially run the Jehovah’s Witness organisation. You are expected to read both magazines).
The midweek meeting is called our Christian life and ministry and is essentially a session given over to perfecting your ministry or preaching work.
Most families have a family Worship session usually on Fridays and will go out in the preaching work for a few hours on a Saturday. This is the minimum requirement for any baptised Jehovah’s Witness, known as a ‘publisher’. If you were to do less than this you would be known as ‘bad association’.
Young Jehovah’s witnesses are discouraged from pursuing further education and any hobbies or after school activities that are likely to take them away from the preaching work.
Jehovahs witnesses are also discouraged from befriending non-Jehovah’s witnesses, known as ‘worldly people’ because those considered part of the world are seen as being under the influence of Satan the devil.
Jehovahs witnesses believe the bible is the literal word of god and that their religion is the only true religion. They also have many rules they must abide by, which are stated in the watchtower magazine. Despite the fact JWs claim they live by bible standards, Many of these rules are not found in the bible - such as the no beards rule and the ban on higher education and the no voting in elections rule.
Academics and experts consider the Jehovah’s Witnesses as a cult, and indeed they fit the B.i.T.E. Model of a cult (which is worth looking up).

A normal day (not even a boasting session day) consists of getting up, wasting however much time you possibly can spreading a big fat lie from door to door (and this lie is a program to suck energy from the population to give to the reptilian race, so they can enslave and destroy us all and move in on this planet), and whatever menial job they allow you to have. If you are still in school, your school day comes first but you cannot have any decent friends or participate in anything aside the curriculum itself (and then, it is always slanted toward the religion). After which you are supposed to do field circus instead of properly getting your homework done or studying for your tests.
For everyone, if you have a nice block of time off, you are expected to waste it in this energy harvesting work. (Which is accomplished by spreading this soul-destroying bible and its evil message from door to door.) Weekends are shot, as are vacations. I saw one child, not even baptized and about age 8 at the time, stuck in field circus all day, every day, through a whole school recess. Work vacations are also wasted in this stupid, soul-draining work. You will be expected to arrive at the site at 9 AM (though this will usually be somewhat later on weekends and holidays) and waste the whole morning, eat at McDonald's, return to the site at 1 PM, and stay out all afternoon.
And there are the 2 boasting sessions per week. When you have one of those things, you have to stop everything to attend. For adults, this means taking time off from work so you don't miss the boasting session. Children must attend, even if it means not being able to finish homework (remember, field circus usurped their afternoon) or study for a test, and even if it means staying up past their bedtime. The one on the weekend, usually Sunday, takes play time away or stops one from having jobs that require frequent Sunday work (at higher pay, usually). Field circus is usually expected after the weekend boasting session, or before if it is during the afternoon.
These boasting sessions are a waste of time. It is always about how joke-hova is going to make the earth so great and how grand joke-hova is (all a great big scam) or conditions you must make to get anything. Effectively, they are poverty and misery workings for your soul to accept being poor and sick as virtues now, and the chokehold and treachery of Noahide Law in the not so distant future (and, the more you and everyone else wastes time spreading this foul message, the sooner and harder it will hit). It is even worse than regular church (which is bad enough, since it still uses the foul bible)--there is so much work you are supposed to do in jokehovianism that even regular church doesn't impose.
