Are the rituals of Jehovahs witness well established?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses don't pay much attention to 'rituals'. We haven't established any.

We use no images, no idols, no crosses, nor any other religious paraphernalia.

We have no chants; we don't even repeat the Lord's Prayer over & over. Probably never.

We use no beads; no rosary; we have no smoke or incense waving.

We don't have the 'passing the money' platter ritual; all our meetings and conventions are free; all our educational schools are free.

We don't follow the ritualistic 'religious sounding expressions' like 'Amen / Hallelujah / Praise the Lord / Jesus saves'. We view them much like the tribal mantras of people who don't know Jehovah God.

We don't do healings; we don't speak in tongues; etc. We don't even have 'revivals'.

We don't separate our flock into 'adult' lessons; and children lessons at Sunday School.

We don't follow the rituals of the holidays, like Christmas, Easter, Halloween.

We are more like a 'Bible EDUCATIONAL group'; than a religious ritual event.

I think we probably avoid rituals with a passion.

We're more into having in-depth Bible topic studies. We have question-&-answer sessions. We sing our own songs at our meetings. We have different ones offer simple and brief prayers. And we all go from house-to-house. (Maybe the only ritual we have is our donut break at the local donut shop during our ministry. But that probably doesn't count as a ritual.)
