Would I attend yours? No. We do not practice interfaith. Do I expect you to attend ours? No. But the opportunity is there, if for no other reason than to learn more about us without having to face anyone directly.
Attending someone else's worship service doesn't make it an interfaith service. As you said, it's an opportunity to learn and observe. Period. You don't believe you should do it because you believe it to be wrong. And yet you are inviting others to do it. You are inviting people to do something you wouldn't do yourself. To me, that's a bit hypocritical.
The Jehovah's Witnesses Congregation will be starting it's < highway54 > 2021-07-04 03:57
3 day convention today, and I would personally like to invite all of you to attend. We will slowly release it for download or viewing and I will keep you posted on the time it is available, right now the Friday morning session is available, the link is:
So I have a question for you, highway. It's very simple and straightforward and requires no dancing around the issue. You're inviting all non-JWs to the Jehovah's Witnesses conference. That's all fine and good. But what would your governing body say you should do if invited to the LDS Church's semi-annual General Conference. You seem to think it might be a good idea for me to attend your conference. Would you be willing to attend mine? Would you be subject to discipline if you did? It will also be available on-line, so you can watch it from your home. How would you feel about that? Or does being open to learning about beliefs other than one's own only work in one direction?
OK, we know now that Highway54 won't attend the LDS General Conference.
Maybe someone else familiar with the Jehovah's Witnesses rules and regulations can answer the other questions, which were not answered.

I don't get how this blatant advertising (for the Jehovah Witness sect/church) is allowed here.
This isn't a discussion of a topic, or question, this is pure advertising.
We have had threads about other denominational gatherings. The one I recall is about the United Methodist meetings a couple of years ago that ended up leading to the split of the denomination into two separate entities.

Maybe? But that means they would have to be honest.
We have a few regulars here that used to belong to the Jehovah's Witnesses. A couple of them left on their own. We have a couple that got kicked out, too. Some of them understand very well how the organization works. Maybe they will tell us what the others won't address.

Getting kicked out means they cant go to heaven, excommunicated, dang, those.poor souls.

We follow Jesus Kat. Meetings have always been a part of serving Jehovah from the time we became His covenanted people. Isa 2:2,3 shows that in our time period, invitations to come to His house will happen, unless of course we are not in the final part of the days. Most faiths believe we are however.

If I remember correctly Thor, I said the Christian Congregation. It was altered by a moderator of this site.
