Definitely not. Wakes are gatherings where the dead is supposed to be brought back to life. Jehovah's Witnesses do not practice that at all. They believe that a time will come when Jesus Christ will resurrect the dead. They are human, and thus have no power or authority to restore life to other humans. Jesus will do that in due time. (John 5 :28, 29)
Answer2: Regardless of their ethnic or cultural background, Jehovah's Witnesses strictly avoid any customs associated with the belief that the dead are conscious and can influence the living. Such customs as wake keeping, funeral celebrations, funeral anniversaries, sacrifices for the dead, and- widowhood rites are all unclean and displeasing to God because they are all linked to the unscriptural, demonic teaching that the soul or spirit does not die. Ezekiel 9:5 "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them has been forgotten." Ezekiel 18:4 "Look?, All the souls (lives) to me they belong. As the soul of the father so also the soul of the son-to me they belong. The soul (person) who sins is the one who will die."
