Well, on Sundays it would usually be song, prayer, public discourse, song, Watchtower Study, song, prayer.
Thursdays would be Song, prayer, Book Study, Bible study, three 5-minute talks, song, announcements, and then 3 parts; these differ each week, then song and prayer.
District Conventions and Circuit Assembies are different, as is the Memorial of Christ's death. Hope that helps! Of course, you could always visit and find out....:)
A typical Jehovah Witness funeral starts off with a song, usually about the resurrection hope, paradise Earth or about how current woes will soon pass. (John 5:28,29; Luke 23:43; Revelation 21:4). Then, prayer is given so that the funeral runs in an orderly fashion. Like traditional funerals, an obituary may be read, summarizing the life of the one deceased and maybe a poem. A brother from within the organization gives an encouraging talk or sermon, mostly about the resurrection hope. Then another song is sung to close the funeral and prayer.
Most probably the same as you'd write in the funeral guestbook of a person who wasn't a Jehovah's Witness.
yes
Yes,all denominations are welcome to respectfully attend Jehovah's Witness funerals.
Yes. The two are unrelated.
This may depend on tradition.
This question does not make any sense.The word 'observe' is strange also. 'Observe a funeral?' or 'have a funeral?' How do you observe a funeral? Do you observe it yearly like birthdays? Now they're called 'deathdays'?It's just a strange question. Can't really be answered.
If u are asking if a person who is not a Jehovah's Wittness can have a funeral service in a Kingdom Hall (the place Jehovah's Wittnesses worship God or Jehovah) you need to ask the Kingdom Hall in your area. If u go during one of their meetings you can ask someone there. --Edit-- You can often find a contact number for your local congregation in the phone book for your area. Non-Witnesses are always welcome at the Kingdom Hall, and you will be made especially welcome if you are attending a funeral of a loved one who was a Witness. --End Edit--
There is no specific ritual involved in being buried as a Jehovah's Witness. It is possible to request a funeral discourse that deals with the Bible's teachings on death and resurection, as understood by Jehovah's Witnesses.
Usually something from the Jehovah's Witness songbook (Song 111 is especially written for this circumstance) See link below
Surely whatever you feel is in keeping with expressing condolence.
Normally no, however they are very loving and compassionate people and it always depends on the circumstances. But more than likely no, usually someone who is Jehovah witness has a multitude of friends almost like family and they know each other very well {in most cases not all}...where having that person's funeral in the kingdom hall wouldn't cause reproach on there god's name......someone who is not Jehovah, they may not know as well and they may run the risk of causing reproach to there god's name for some act that person did that maybe they where not aware of..alot of people would like to have there service there because of its beauty and of course no charge.
Words taken directly from the bible are best. Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe the individual was "taken by God to be an angel", they do no believe people have an alloted time on earth so they con't usually say his or her "time had come". Jehovah's Witnesses DO believe in a ressurrection, so the bible promises that the dead one will one day live again are acceptable.
