What day is Jehovahs Witnesses holy day in the week?

Answer 1

We view our service to God to be 24/7, so there are no special days of worship. We believe our worship to be done on a daily basis by how we live our lives, interact with others, and conduct ourselves.

By your question, you may be asking when we meet at the Kingdom Hall for formal worship. If that is your question, then the answer will vary depending on the individual congregation and their circumstances. There are no set days or times dictated by the organization. Each congregation meets together three times a week, and each meeting serves a specific purpose. At one meeting a week, the congregation meets in small Bible study groups(usually 12-15 people) throughout the area in individual homes for 1 hour. These studies focus on deep study of The Bible. Right now, all over the world, we are studying verse-by-verse the Bible book of Revelation. At one meeting a week,(a 2-part meeting aprox 90 minutes total) we study how to be more effective ministers in our public preaching work, and at another meeting,(a 2 part meeting aprox 90 minutes total) we have Bible based instruction on a wide range of topics such as family life, comfort in the troubled times we live, or some other timely topic.

The times and days may vary depending on the needs of the area that the congregation serves, and how many congregations are using the same Kingdom Hall. Most Kingdom Halls have more than one congregation meeting there, for example, the Kingdom Hall I go to has three congregations. On Sunday, a congregation meets at 10AM, a second congregation meets at 12:30PM, and a third meets at 3PM. We are soon to form a fourth congregation, which will open up another meeting time, or they may meet on Saturday, whatever suits their needs.

We do not hold to any particular days for our worship. This provides for a variety of meeting times and days. In larger cites, such as the one I live in, there is many opportunities to attend, so that even when secular work makes it difficult to attend, there is usually another congregation that one can go to to still be able to get the benefit.

Answer:

In short, traditionally most people go out preaching Saturdays (though it can be done any day of the week) Sundays are meeting days with public talk and watchtower study (though depending on # of congregations and kingdom halls some may have this meeting on Saturday and currently there is only one other day of the week that we have bible study ministerial school and general bible instruction on any one night of the week- each congregation has their night.

Answer 2

If you are referring to a weekly sabbath, simply put, we do not have any.

As far an annual "holy day," the only day that we reserve as special is the day in which our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ was put to death. We do not regard, however, the day itself as "holy." It is what Jesus Christ himself did that we consider holy, which could have just as likely been done on any other day, but it just so happened that it was purposed by God to occur on the Jewish calendar day of Nisan 14, in the year 33.

Our observance of that day is NOT the Jewish celebration of the Passover, even though it occurs on the same day as the origonal Jewish Passover celebration. What we observe is the memorial of the death of Jesus Christ. It s done once a year on the day that corresponds to the ancient Jewish calendar day of Nisan the 14th.

a lunar calendar, that is, based on the phases of the moon, and we use a solar calendar, one that is based on the phases of the sun, the actual day of Nisan 14 will not be the same on our calendar from year to year, but it moves back and forth inside about a 3 week window from about mid March to mid April.

Answer 3

I am guesing the questioner is asking about the Sabbath Day. The Sabbath Day as a weekly observance was a sign between Jehovah and the nation of Israel. (Exodus 31:12-17) It was a part of the Mosaic Law Covenant, whichwas the Law for the nation of Israel. (Exodus 20:8-11) Most of Jehovah's Witnesses today are not Jewish or Israelite, and so are not under that Law anyway, but as for the ones who are descended from Israel, they have been released from the Old Law Covenant, and are either in the New, or subject to it. (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Luke 22:28-30; Hebrews 8:13; compare Romans 7:6; Ephesians 2:15) However, as Christians we are still under the Sabbath Law in this respect: We are resting from our own works and living our lives for Jehovah, thus entering into his rest. - Hebrews 3:11 through 4:11. Note this is an ongoing, everyday thing. Not every day is an individual Sabbath Day as it was for the nation of Israel; but each day is a part of the ongoing Sabbath of Jehovah.

Answer 4

There are no religious holidays. The closest is Nissan 14 when no Jehovah's Witness would be at work after sun down that day because they would be at a Kingdom Hall their place of worship to watch members of the anointed partake of the emblems. Only those going to heaven of which there is a finite number of 144,000 drink bread and wine. The rest just watch. Most Kingdom Halls have 1 or less anointed member so the rest don't get to see anyone drink or eat.

Answer 5

Jehovah's Witnesses only have one "special day", the memorial of Christ's death held annually in early spring. They do not observe a weekly Sabbath.

Answer 6

It depends on where you are. There are two days- one on a week day and one on the weekend. You will have to go to the nearest hall to know the exact time and dates
