Some differences:
a) Jehovah's Witnesses visit people at their homes to share with them spiritual things; read a few scriptures from The Bible; help people who wish to conform their life to the righteous moral standards of God's Word. Presbyterians do not train their rank-&-file members to do a house-to-house ministry.
b) Jehovah's Witnesses do not tolerate homosexual behavior among it's members, let alone allow them to be elders or deacons. Some Presbyterian church groups allows openly homosexual members to become deacons and elders in the church.The Presbyterian Church USA General Assembly Permanent Judicial Commission (PJC) permits same-sex 'ceremonies' as long as they're not called 'marriage'; therefore homosexual habitation and behavior is permitted.
c) Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc because of their pagan origins. Presbyterians celebrate such events.
d) Jehovah's Witnesses do not participate in any military (war) efforts in imitation of Christ Jesus stance. Presbyterians do take are armaments and engage in warfare.
e) Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the concept of 'eternal torment' is a 'God-DISHONORING' doctrine; and that God would never in a million years permit such a place to exist in his Universe. Presbyterians believe God permits such a thing as a literal place of 'eternal torment' in a fiery hell.
f) Jehovah's Witnesses in general are not seeking to enter heaven. We believe as the Bible states in Psalm 37:11,29 that 'the meek' will have a different inheritance. We believe that the earth will be transformed into a global Paradise, in which righteousness will dwell, and the meek will inherit 'the earth', not heaven. Presbyterians believe that people approved by God will be 'transformed' into another form; and then be 'transferred' to live in another place (heaven.)
Of course there are many more differences. And there may be some agreements also.
